Description
(Young Sophie keeps walking through the swamp, already feeling nervous at the strange place she was in now. what she found even more unnerving, was that she heard sounds coming from about...everywhere. growls, groans, and other creepy sounds.)

Sophie: Uhhh...Hello? (turns around to look behind) is someone there?

(no reply. she looks around for a bit before turning back and keep on walking. an ape that stood on a cliff above her spotted her...)

Ape Leader: what's a child doing out here?

''a child, you say?''

(behind the ape walked a huge black dragoness, towering over him)

Ape Leader: that's right! take a look for yourself!

Dragoness: Hmm.... wait a minute... I thought the Lythian race was wiped out years ago! I should have known there would be survivors hiding in places like the insects they are. and this is without a doubt a Lythian child!

Ape Leader: A Lythian? Here?!

Dragoness: you also told me that there was a purple dragon that lives somewhere in this swamp...

Ape Leader: Its true! he nearly scorched me to death after I provoked him!

Dragoness: and yet you let HIM LIVE!!! (Snarls, her eyes glow yellow with anger)

Ape Leader: W-Wait! Cynder! I-I left my men to take care of this whelpling! I can assure you they pummeled him into dust!

Cynder: explain this then, numbnuts! 7.7 (points her claw toward Spyro below who follows Sophie from behind her)

Ape Leader: WHAT?! Th...That's impossible!! how did he... (turns to Cynder) Please, Cynder, I beg you! give me a chance to prove myself in your name, and in our master's name!

Cynder: (sighs) very well... I will give you another chance. and also...if you find a Red Dragon and his Lythian companion around here, do what you must do. but bring them to me alive.

Ape Leader: (kneels down) Y-Yes, M'Lady! you have my word!

Cynder: (raises her head, turning to the horizon)

(back to Sophie, who got even more scared from the loud snarl she heard a few moments ago.)

Sophie: Gaaah! what am I doing?! I knew going off on my own was a bad idea! there are creepy monsters crawling everywhere, waiting for the chance to pounce on me out of nowhere! and even going through that portal, as it closed off behind me, which means...which means... (gasps, covering her mouth in realization) I'm Lost! I'm lost...in a strange place I've never been to before...! and so far away from home! (collapses on her knees, tears coming out of her eyes and into the ground, starting to sob quietly) ,>m<,

(Spyro managed to follow the young Sophie, and looks at her with sympathy in his amethyst purple eyes. ''Lost? Portal?'' now he got even more curious about the twelve year old girl that made her way into a dangerous environment. he slowly and cautiously approaches her, seeing her face covered with her hands as she cried quietly. being the dragon he is, he sniffs her, examining her.)

Sophie: ,>~Q H-Huh...? What is...? (Gasps when she sees Spyro up close to her)

Spyro: !! O.O

Sophie: AAAAAHHHH!!! OAO

Spyro: AAAAAAH!!! OAO

Sophie: AAAAAAAAAHHHH!!! OAO

Spyro: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! OAO

Both: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! OAO

Sophie: Just eat me already! and please make it fast! (lays on the ground, faceplanting, speaking in a muffled voice) I'd rather not have a slow and painful death!

Spyro: Easy, easy there! I'm not gonna eat you!

Sophie: Huh? you're not gonna...? (sits up) then why were you stalking me?!

Spyro: well, I saw you go by and I was thinking that a girl like you shouldn't be out here all alone.

Sophie: Hey, What about you? you're all alone! (eyes widen, realizing what she said, looks back at the dragon) you ARE all alone, aren't you?

Spyro: Yeah...I just recently started wandering by myself to find out where I'm from, because I didn't feel like I belonged in a place I was adopted.

Sophie: wait...you...? adopted?

Spyro: I've always felt like I was different than the others, so you could say I'm an outsider.

Sophie: an outsider? funny, 'cause that's exactly what I am! I recently left my adoptive home to search for my origins, like, where was I born, and who I am...you do get what I'm saying, don't you?

Spyro: (chuckles) it sounds like we have something in common. OwO

Sophie: So, do you know what this place is? 'cause I've never been here before.

Spyro: well, this is... (pauses, turns around as he notices something suspicious as he heard a scream)

Sophie: what is it?

Spyro: it sounds like... (he sees Sparx being chased around by an ape) Sparx?! Oh no! (runs after the ape)

Sophie: Hey, where are you going?

(Spyro charges at the ape from behind, and ''POW!'' He hits him with his pair of horns, sending him flying straight to the bushes. Sparx flies over to Spyro, happy to see him.)

Spyro: Sparx! I thought you were staying home!

Sparx: yeah, about that... me and the old man we're chattin', and this whole belonging thing came up and we decided that...best friends belong together! even if one of them is purple and does have some weight issues.

Spyro: weight issues, huh? well, at least I haven't been turned into a lantern.

Sparx: Oh, please, Lantern Shmantern. let's see what's out there! (takes a look at Sophie) hey, and who's that with you?

Spyro: her? I just met her a few moments ago before I noticed that monkey running after you.

Sophie: Uhhh...Hi?

Sparx: (Flies over to Sophie, examining her) hmm... she got some hair on the head, her forehead's showing, pretty eyes, not looking like those gorillas that wanna crush me...well, except she's walking on two legs.

Sophie: I'm a Human, ya dork! or at least...I thought I was. but really, I don't mean any harm.

Spyro: In that case, why not come with us? you've been alone out here for quite enough.

Sparx: really, Spyro? you wanna take someone you just met along with us?

Spyro: she said she doesn't mean any harm. we can trust her. (turns to Sophie) don't mind him, he can be a loony sometimes!

Sophie: Ehehehe...its okay. he reminds me a little of my adoptive little brother. -w- Oh, that's right! I didn't introduce myself! My name is Sophie!

Spyro: Sophie, huh? I'm Spyro! and this is my adoptive brother, Sparx!

Sparx: Hey! its a pleasure to meet you!

Sophie: same here! so where are you two going?

Sparx: Spyro and I are best pals and bros, we go everywhere together!

Spyro: so, you wanna come?

Sophie: sure! I don't mind hanging around with you two in this strange place.

Sparx: so lets go and see what's out there!

(and so, Spyro and Sparx, as well as Sophie who joined them. together they continued to get through the dark and foreboding place, due to the forest and mushroom cover overheard. braving through native predators such as frogweeds, Bulb Spiders and Swamp Growths, with Spyro's claws, horns and tail and Sophie's dagger and slingshot. they were even fighting through several apes that lurk within the area.)

(until moments later, they enter another part of the swamp that they noticed something spectacular. behold, there was a sword, resting within its stoney pedestal.)

Spyro: what's a sword doing out here?

Sparx: Hohoho! I know what this is about! hello, is there a bearded wizard roaming this place? Yoohoo! Merlin, where you at? XD

Sophie: Hmm... (walks towards the sword) that...looks like some kind of legendary weapon, and...and... (looks at it, slowly placing her hand on the hilt, and notices a purple light shining above and around her as she did so, making her gasp and pull back) what was that light? O.O

Spyro: Gee, I don't know. I suggest try pulling out this sword and see what happens.

Sparx: I bet something weird's 'bout to happen!

Sophie: Umm...Okay. (thinking) I don't know why but...I get this feeling in my gut that, this sword... its calling out to me for some reason.

(Sophie places both hands on the hilt, the purple light above and around her appearing once again, and she pulls with all her strength, until...moments later, she successfully pulls the sword out from its place, stumbling backwards as she did so. then, a purple crescent moon mark with an orb in the middle appears glowing on her forehead, and she hears a voice that said...)

''peace must be restored to the realms. Tarlax needs a Hero.''

(once it was pulled out, a beam of purple light emerges from the stoney pedestal, shining towards the sky.)

Sophie: OAO !!

Spyro: ??? OoO

Sparx:

(elsewhere in the swamp, we see Inferna, the Lythian Guardian of Fire, noticing that purple beam from the cave she hides.)

Inferna: That light...could it be...?!

Ignitus: (enters) what is the matter, my dear friend?

Inferna: Ignitus! look over there!

Ignitus: Hmm? (looks at the direction Inferna pointed at, and his eyes widen when he saw the purple beam) by the ancestors... this light comes from where the Aether Sword rests... someone must've pulled it out.

Inferna: Should we go and investigate?

Ignitus: I'm afraid we should remain hidden here for a while. the dark armies occupy this region, and will bring us to Cynder, if we are exposed. but, worry not, Inferna. who knows what else we will encounter, even when we are hidden here.

Inferna: (silently nods and looks towards the purple beam before it disappeared)

(back to Sophie, who pulled out the sword from the stone... from her perspective, she opens her eyes, seeing Spyro and Sparx right near her face.)

Spyro: Sophie? Sophie!

Sparx: Hey, you okay?

Sophie: Ughhh... (sits up, placing her hand on her head) Ow, my head!

Sparx: just keep calm and tell me how many fingers you're seeing!

Sophie: uhhh...four? (looks at the sword that was now in her hand, dimming with purple aura around it.) when I pulled out that sword, I could've sworn I heard a voice. it said that...peace must be restored, or something like that.

Spyro: A voice?

Sparx: you sure you weren't hallucinating?

Sophie: yes! I'm sure! (sighs) nevermind, lets keep going!

(Spyro and Sparx look at each other in confusion, as they walked besides Sophie who took the blade with her after pulling it out.)

(as they continued on...)

Sparx: well, isn't this nice? just the three of us, walking down this ridiculously safe and calm path, nothing bad can happen in such a calm atmosphere, right?

(Suddenly... a loud, ear piercing screech was heard, followed by a red stream of fire unleashed on their direction from above)

Sophie, Spyro, Sparx: O.O O~O''

Sophie: (Sprints forward) WAAAAAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!

Spyro: AAAAAAAAAAHHH!!! OAO (Sprints forward with Sophie)

Sparx: Breathe, Sparx, old boy! go to your happy place!

Spyro: W-What in the world was that?!

Sparx: I have no idea but I'm going this way! FAR From it!
Sophie: Yeah, no way I'm getting anywhere near it either!

(and so the enter the cave before them to hide from whatever it was that scared them)

Ignitus: (narrates) which brings us to the moment that Spyro and Sophie's journey really began... when they and I met...again...for the very first time...Oh, its a long story.

(the three wandered deep into the cave until they stood face to face with a red dragon, and a woman clad in red and gold armor.)

Inferna: ?

Spyro, Sophie: O.O

Sparx: hehe...and I thought you were a big one. goodness. -w-'

Ignitus: (gasps quietly) you're...you're alive! (somberly) oh, but it's too late... far too late!

Spyro: T-Too late for what? who are you? do you know me? where do I come from? what are you?! what are WE?! WHAT AM I?!

Ignitus: you mean you don't know?

Sparx: does it sound like he knows? -_-

Ignitus: You're a dragon. when you were just an egg it was my job to protect you. it was our job, to protect all of you...

Spyro: There are others?

Ignitus: Others? there were...there were six of us. Guardians, that is. and we had one job: to ensure that all the eggs were hatched. it was the year of the dragon, after all. and our very survival depended on those eggs. but the temple, and the grotto are now gone...overruned by.

Spyro: Temple? what Temple? can you take me? can I see it? where I came from, I mean?

Ignitus: No, No, No... who knows what forces occupy the temple, now... what state its in. you don't understand, after they came for you...

Spyro: they? who is they? and why did they come for me?

Ignitus: because the prophecies spoke of a purple dragon. a dragon born only once every ten generations. and that dragon is...you...!

Sparx: ''You''? does that mean, him?

Inferna: (gasps, approaches Sophie, crouching down to her.) this sword...may I see it?

Sophie: Uhhh...sure? (shows Inferna the sword she got)

Inferna: (examines the sword, and her eyes widen in realization. and looks back at Sophie.) its you...!

Sophie: huh? do you...know me?

Inferna: you have no idea how much I've longed for the day I'd meet you again!

Sophie: again...? what do you mean again?

Inferna: I was the one who brought you to safety in the world of humans, when you were just an infant. the dark forces that were after the purple dragon, they were after you as well. and this sword...only one worthy of the title Hero can pull it out of its pedestal, a barrier that prevented those with evil hearts from taking it. the sword chose you...

Sophie: wait...what are you saying? why did these dark forces came after me, and why did this sword chose me?

Inferna: the prophecies also spoke of one who is the reincarnation of the Goddess Shevyria, a Hero born of Lythian descent to bring peace to this darkened world alongside the purple dragon.

Sophie: O.O

Sparx: Wait, wait, wait...are you two saying that, Spyro and Sophie are some special once in a purple thing? I think you might have mixed that one up a bit, that's a... a bit of a stretch. I mean, I've heard some ah, doozies in my day, but that takes the cake! UwO

Spyro:  Ò^O

Sophie: Sparx... -.-

Ignitus: Spyro and Sophie, is it? well, I assure you two that I am telling you the truth. the Dark Armies attacked and were intent on smashing all of the eggs and killing the rest of us. they nearly succeeded...and then they laid siege to the other islands. we were at war...

(the three listen to the dragon's story, as we're shown images of what transpired.)

Ignitus: for many years we fought all over the islands. Brutal clashes with the armies of the dark master, who was determined to prevent the prophecies from coming true... the other guardians and I led our small but valiant forces into battle after battle. against a ruthless mercenary foe...then, when we were beginning to turn the tide...Cynder came...!

Spyro, Sophie: Cynder?

Ignitus: Yes...Cynder was...Is... Monstrous, Horrific, Ferocious... A Black Dragon that fills the skies with terror, an unstoppable force of nature.

Sparx: eh, yeah, ya had me at ''ferocious''... (to Spyro and Sophie) hey, that sounds like that thing that was chasing us!

Inferna: Yes, she is most likely still searching for us.

Ignitus: and years ago, we watched as Cynder plucked our brothers and sisters in arms from the fields of battle, like so many ripe grapes from a vine. without them, our cause is lost...and only we, Ignitus and Inferna, managed to escape.

Inferna: Sophie, I'm sure you may have never knew this up until now, and you're certainly have much to take in. but you are not of the human race...you are a Lythian, like me.

Sophie: ?!

Inferna: even before the Year of the Dragon, we were still at war against the armies of the Dark Master. you were born a year before Spyro, as the new reincarnation of Shevyria, the Goddess of Aether and Rebirth, our guardian deity. on that night, twelve years ago, the dark armies attacked, killing every single Lythian they could find in every place. your father died in battle, and your mother, my dearest friend, while sustaining fatal wounds, held the infant you, and gave you to me as she breathed her last. to prevent you from being discovered, I sent you through a portal to another world where you could be safe from harm. where the humans would look after you. and I patiently waited these last twelve years for the day we could meet again. and I see you now, not as a baby, but as a grown child of destiny.

Sophie: I'm...a Lythian...?

Inferna:  Sophie... you, and I are all that's left of our kind. the Dark Master and his forces driven all of us, Lythians, to a state of extinction.

Ignitus: (sighs) not that it matters, Cynder now rules all. and we sit here wondering what might have been. what else could we have done...

Sparx: wow, that sounds...fun... I wanna hang around with these guys.

Spyro: yeah, why have you two given up? you just told us that I'm this special dragon, and Sophie is some chosen Hero. and now you're saying that all is lost? that we have no home or family left? I've come way too far to give up now. I wanna see where I come from!

Sparx: Eh?! OAO Hold up, savior boy! were you not listening to these two?! they're talking about flying dragons, war, genocide and horrible- this is bad stuff, alright? I don't know if we're hearing the same thing here!

Ignitus: yes, Spyro. it's not as simple as that. it is true the prophecies spoke of a purple dragon and a Lythian Hero destined to put their stamp on this age. but the prophecies did not foretell the devastation that surrounds us now.

Spyro: Maybe you're right. but I'm willing to try...I wanna take the first step!

Sophie: I'm with Spyro! I want to see what lies ahead!

Sparx: you two are actually gonna go along with these lunatics? 7.7

Ignitus: very well then, we'll go. you two deserve to see your beginning...before it all ends.

(and so, the younger dragon and Lythian started to follow the two guardians of fire, with Sparx following them.)

Sparx: Okay, am I the only one who's sane here? those two are telling us we're doomed, alright? that's when I go- Ey! maybe we should go back to the forest with the flowers and the fun stuff?

Ignitus: No, No, No... who knows what forces occupy the temple, now... what state its in. you don't understand, after they came for you...

Spyro: they? who is they? and why did they come for me?

Ignitus: because the prophecies spoke of a purple dragon. a dragon born only once every ten generations. and that dragon is...you...!

Sparx: ''You''? does that mean, him?

Inferna: (gasps, approaches Sophie, crouching down to her.) this sword...may I see it?

Sophie: Uhhh...sure? (shows Inferna the sword she got)

Inferna: (examines the sword, and her eyes widen in realization. and looks back at Sophie.) its you...!

Sophie: huh? do you...know me?

Inferna: you have no idea how much I've longed for the day I'd meet you again!

Sophie: again...? what do you mean again?

Inferna: I was the one who brought you to safety in the world of humans, when you were just an infant. the dark forces that were after the purple dragon, they were after you as well. and this sword...only one worthy of the title Hero can pull it out of its pedestal, a barrier that prevented those with evil hearts from taking it. the sword chose you...

Sophie: wait...what are you saying? why did these dark forces came after me, and why did this sword chose me?

Inferna: the prophecies also spoke of one who is the reincarnation of the Goddess Shevyria, a Hero born of Lythian descent to bring peace to this darkened world alongside the purple dragon.

Sophie: O.O

Sparx: Wait, wait, wait...are you two saying that, Spyro and Sophie are some special once in a purple thing? I think you might have mixed that one up a bit, that's a... a bit of a stretch. I mean, I've heard some ah, doozies in my day, but that takes the cake! UwO

Spyro:  Ò^O

Sophie: Sparx... -.-

Ignitus: Spyro and Sophie, is it? well, I assure you two that I am telling you the truth. the Dark Armies attacked and were intent on smashing all of the eggs and killing the rest of us. they nearly succeeded...and then they laid siege to the other islands. we were at war...

(the three listen to the dragon's story, as we're shown images of what transpired.)

Ignitus: for many years we fought all over the islands. Brutal clashes with the armies of the dark master, who was determined to prevent the prophecies from coming true... the other guardians and I led our small but valiant forces into battle after battle. against a ruthless mercenary foe...then, when we were beginning to turn the tide...Cynder came...!

Spyro, Sophie: Cynder?

Ignitus: Yes...Cynder was...Is... Monstrous, Horrific, Ferocious... A Black Dragon that fills the skies with terror, an unstoppable force of nature.

Sparx: eh, yeah, ya had me at ''ferocious''... (to Spyro and Sophie) hey, that sounds like that thing that was chasing us!

Inferna: Yes, she is most likely still searching for us.

Ignitus: and years ago, we watched as Cynder plucked our brothers and sisters in arms from the fields of battle, like so many ripe grapes from a vine. without them, our cause is lost...and only we, Ignitus and Inferna, managed to escape.

Inferna: Sophie, I'm sure you may have never knew this up until now, and you're certainly have much to take in. but you are not of the human race...you are a Lythian, like me.

Sophie: ?!

Inferna: even before the Year of the Dragon, we were still at war against the armies of the Dark Master. you were born a year before Spyro, as the new reincarnation of Shevyria, the Goddess of Aether and Rebirth, our guardian deity. on that night, twelve years ago, the dark armies attacked, killing every single Lythian they could find in every place. your father died in battle, and your mother, my dearest friend, while sustaining fatal wounds, held the infant you, and gave you to me as she breathed her last. to prevent you from being discovered, I sent you through a portal to another world where you could be safe from harm. where the humans would look after you. and I patiently waited these last twelve years for the day we could meet again. and I see you now, not as a baby, but as a grown child of destiny.

Sophie: I'm...a Lythian...?

Inferna:  Sophie... you, and I are all that's left of our kind. the Dark Master and his forces driven all of us, Lythians, to a state of extinction.

Ignitus: (sighs) not that it matters, Cynder now rules all. and we sit here wondering what might have been. what else could we have done...

Sparx: wow, that sounds...fun... I wanna hang around with these guys.

Spyro: yeah, why have you two given up? you just told us that I'm this special dragon, and Sophie is some chosen Hero. and now you're saying that all is lost? that we have no home or family left? I've come way too far to give up now. I wanna see where I come from!

Sparx: Eh?! OAO Hold up, savior boy! were you not listening to these two?! they're talking about flying dragons, war, genocide and horrible- this is bad stuff, alright? I don't know if we're hearing the same thing here!

Ignitus: yes, Spyro. it's not as simple as that. it is true the prophecies spoke of a purple dragon and a Lythian Hero destined to put their stamp on this age. but the prophecies did not foretell the devastation that surrounds us now.

Spyro: Maybe you're right. but I'm willing to try...I wanna take the first step!

Sophie: I'm with Spyro! I want to see what lies ahead!

Sparx: you two are actually gonna go along with these lunatics? 7.7

Ignitus: very well then, we'll go. you two deserve to see your beginning...before it all ends.

(and so, the younger dragon and Lythian started to follow the two guardians of fire, with Sparx following them.)

Sparx: Okay, am I the only one who's sane here? those two are telling us we're doomed, alright? that's when I go- Ey! maybe we should go back to the forest with the flowers and the fun stuff?
