For all you readers who have been reading this story since the beginning, I'd just like to say thanks! And now, as you can see, I've re-written this story with a different plot and a different theme. This new version takes place in the worlds in AHT, if I didn't do a good job of making it obvious.


Years ago, Spyro the dragon set out on his first quest ever. He freed all the dragon elders and defeated Gnasty Gnorc. With that first adventure as a starting point, he went on to accomplish great things. An unexpected journey to a place called Avalar caused him to meet up with several new friends, as well as save a world that cried out for help. He traveled to the other side of the worlds, the Forgotten Worlds, and faced an evil sorceress.

But now something has gone horribly wrong.

It started on the fateful afternoon of the Year of the Dragon ceremony. The day that everything Spyro knew and loved was completely destroyed.

No one suspected a thing. No one had their guard up when it happened. It all happened so fast that even the most powerful dragon elder was powerless to stop it. Within a few hours, the dragon worlds were doomed forever.

Now, despite the fact that the worlds are still bright and colorful, they may as well be dark and gray, for that is all the residents of the lands ever see. Their every move is watched closely, minimizing the chances of rebellion or escape. All seems hopeless now. Unless someone from the outside were to step in.

Then, they might have a chance at defeating the evil that has settled in this world.


"Are we there yet?" Sabina whined, bouncing up and down on her bus seat. Her brother, Akiro, rolled his eyes.

"We'll get there when we get there! Now get off of the window. You're not one of those suction cup plush thingies."

Sabina, who had attached herself to the window while he was talking, got down. "Sorry," she mumbled. She then took a moment to pull a piece of lint off of her white fur. "I can't wait to get to the dragon worlds. We'll get to meet Spyro!"

"Yeah! That'll be something to tell the guys at school about." Akiro pulled out two autograph books from under his seat. "Think he'll sign our books?" he asked.

Sabina grabbed a book from him and started flipping pages. "Of course! He'll sign it right here between Cassia's signature and the Easter Bunny's!" Suddenly, she noticed the similarity of the two signatures. "Hey!"

"You just noticed that?"

"No! Uh... do you think Spyro will like us?"

"We're two part wolf, part lion, part dragon things," Akiro said, leaning back in his seat. "What's not to like?"

"The dragon part doesn't even show!"

"Then do you wanna shave off all you fur before we get there?" her brother teased. "We're the only ones on the bus beside driver, go ahead!"

She slammed her book shut. "Ha ha, very funny."

"Who says I'm joking?"

"Why you little..."

"Dragon Worlds!" announced the bus driver. "All passengers going to the Dragon Worlds please exit now."

The two siblings stopped their fight. "Woo-hoo! We're here!" Sabina exclaimed. They pulled their suitcases off of the luggage rack and hurried off the bus. No sooner had they stepped off of it, when the bus pulled away very quickly, leaving them coughing in a cloud of dust.

"Wonder what's his hurry." Akiro said.

"This isn't a bus stop!" Sabina exclaimed. "It's an old lemonade stand with the words 'bus stop' spray painted on it in the middle of a desert!"

"Maybe that explains why we had a hard time finding a bus to come down here," mused Akiro. "So, where's the Dragon Worlds?"

"Maybe it's through this portal labeled "The Dragon Worlds." Sabina pointed to a large portal right beside the lemonade stand.

"Eh, could be."

They stepped through the portal and found themselves in their destination. It was a beautiful place. The grass was as green as Akiro's fur, and there were some interesting buildings around. Several sheep ran around an open grassy area. Across the meadow-like area was some kind of store, with a fat bear in a fez standing in front of it. "Wow! It's so...colorful! Dang, those colors are bright." Akiro put on his sunglasses. "Now, let's see if we can find Spyro."

"Look! There's a dragon over there. Let's ask her." Sabina pointed out. The two odd characters walked over to the dragon. "Excuse me! Is Spyro around here anywhere?"

The pink dragon blushed at the mention of Spyro's name. "Oh! Well, I think I saw him over by the bridge." She then stood there smiling, as if posing for a glamour shot. Akiro cocked his head.

"Um...can you tell us where the bridge is?" he asked slowly.

"Through that tunnel." said the dragon. She giggled and skipped off.

"Freak." Akiro muttered. "Let's go!" Sabina led the way across the grass and to a tunnel through the hills. It wasn't very long, and soon they were in the daylight again. Straight ahead of them was a deep abyss, with a large bridge going across it. Standing on that bridge was the familiar purple dragon known as Spyro!

"Look! There he is!" Sabina whispered in excitement. They ran across the bridge to him.

"Hi Spyro!" she called out.

"Um, do I know you?" Spyro asked, raising an eyebrow.

"No," Akrio replied, "But we were on vacation and thought we'd get your autograph while we're here!"

"Ah. Autographs. So do you have a piece of paper or do I have to write it in the dirt or what?" the dragon asked impatiently.

Geez. You'd think for a hero he'd be a little less snappish. Thought Sabina. Ah, well. He's probably having a rough day.

Akiro handed him their autograph books. "Okay, signature." Spyro said, flipping through the book. "The Easter Bunny?" he scoffed. Sabina pouted.

"He signed it years ago!"

"Sure. Ya got a pen?" Spyro leaned casually against the railing. Sabina handed him one. "Thanks. Allrighty. I'm signin' away. So you're on vacation?" He took his time, making his name look perfect.

"Yeah."

" And you heard of my totally awesome-ness and came down here, eh?"

Sabina was getting a little more upset over the dragon's arrogance. The newspaper articles she'd read made him sound much friendlier.

"Help me!"

"Huh?" asked Akiro. Spyro just stood there, still writing, and still in his cocky pose. Then Akiro noticed that Spyro's lips were open slightly and his teeth were clenched together. "Help me!" the dragon said again.

"Help you what?" asked Sabina.

"Don't act like I'm talking to you." Spyro instructed. "I can't break character while she's watching."

"Who's watching?"

"Ember." Spyro hissed, motioning to the right slightly with his head. Akiro glanced over in the direction they had come and saw the pink dragon watching them from behind a tree. "Don't look at her!" Akiro quickly averted his eyes. Spyro had finished signing one book and started working on the other.

"What should we do?" Sabina whispered.

"Find Hunter. Give him the message I'm writing in you books." Spyro gave Sabina her book back. "In your book, it's every three words." he hurried to finish writing in Akiro's, "And in yours it's every five words. Hurry and find him! But don't make it obvious!"

Spyro handed Akiro his book. "Please hurry!" He whispered one last time before switching back to his previous personality. "There ya go, guys!"

"Um, thanks." Akiro said.

"No prob! Well, I gotta go do stuff. Later." and with that, the dragonswaggered off. The two siblings just stood there, staring. "What was that all about?" asked Sabina.


Well? Any thoughts, words, comments, or inputs? Go ahead and tell me! Flames, I ignore. Constructive criticism, I accept.
