Hello everyone. I'm CommanderBoreale. I started this story a long time ago, early 2013 if I recall correctly. It shall likely be a trilogy as of right now, but it may either expand or shrink if I have too much or to little content. Anyway, I've currently done 60 ish chapters as of right now. I will attempt to update it every two-three days, but no promises. After the sixty or so chapters, updates will be a lot more rare. Anyhow, my writing style may change slightly, for better or worse as its been such a big distance of time.
Before I forget, this was written before I played swap force, the third game, so if there are any canon problems or something, then meh. hope you enjoy.
The Darkness returns
Chapter 1
A cool blanket of snow covered the Core of Light Island. The snowflakes elegantly danced in the swirling motions of the wind, only stopping when they landed on the ground. A girl of roughly six foot three inches of height walked purposely to the centre of the Island. She wore armour of a silver and sky blue colour which was coated in scratches and grooves from the previous battle. Her hair was a deep navy blue, reaching over her shoulder pads, down to her forearm. Her skin was peach coloured. In her left hand, she carried a shield with the markings of her family crest, in the form of a large snowflake. Her name was inscribed in the back of the shield. Chill. Her eyes were a deep blue, only found in the deepest parts of the ocean. Her luscious lips were of the same colour. In her right arm, she carried her helmet. It to had large scratches across it, ruining the once flawless silver finish, but it had done its job protecting her life. Finally, in her right hand was her weapon of choice. The shimmering spear with two ends, perfect for defending, close combat and for throwing at those foolish enough to run from her.
She had recently departed from a ship, piloted by a friend known as Flynn. She looked up, to see the ship flying away. It was green in colour, with a black smoke pouring out where it shouldn't. 'You see, the dread-yacht suffered from a curse which meant that it would always break down'. When one thing was fixed, another thing would break. Chill smiled at the ship as a shout of "Aw, not the stereo" rung out.
She had good memories of the ship. The sun had set, lighting the sky in a deep orange glow, bathing the island. Once upon a time, the island was a place of great beauty, but during the many wars with the evil emperor Kaos, the Island had been reduced to rubble. All of Skylands would have been destroyed if it wasn't for the heroic deeds of the Skylanders.
The Skylanders were an elite team of creatures who had sworn their loyalty to the good portal master Eon, who thwarted the evil Kaos and had repaired the core of light to repel him and his forces. She trailed along the beach, towards the stairs. She climbed the now repaired stairs, to reach the pinnacle of the Island. All around her were ruins of the Islands once great buildings. In the centre was a dome, emitting light through the sky. The core of light, made from the 8 elements, water, fire, air, earth, magic, tech, life and undead.
She was alone on the island.
Or so she thought. She walked to the snow coated core and slumped against it, dropping the helmet. It split in two along a deep groove.
"Great," she said to herself "now I'll have to get a new helmet".
She heard a rustling in the nearby plant life. She then felt someone breathing down her neck. She turned her head to see a green face looking back at her.
"Hello Stealth Elf" Chill said.
Stealth Elf's eyes were completely white, her skin green and her hair blue, like all elves, tied in a ponytail. She wore a brown leather suit, good for a ninjas camouflage in other seasons, but not winter. Behind her was her daughter / apprentice ninja, Whisper Elf. She was the exact same as her mother, but on a one third scale. Both of which had embraced the life element as their chosen path, whereas Chill had chosen water.
"Did I scare you?" asked Whisper Elf, giggling.
"A little" replied Chill, smiling at the child.
"What have you been doing?" asked Stealth Elf.
"Nothing much, just saving an entire village from a Cyclopes invasion".
Chill had personal a grudge against the Cyclopes after they had kidnapped the Snow Queen, during her watch when she was captain of the guard at the age of 16. It had been 3 years since that day and she had many links to the queen's location, but all of them had come up empty. She'd joined the Skylanders in hope that she could rescue her, stopping evil along the way. She'd even helped to defeat Kaos when he had nearly unleashed the ancient army of the robotic Arkeyans to destroy Skylands and again when he had tried to corrupt all the magic in Skylands using a magic volcano.
The Sun had almost set when the two of them had finished their conversation. Whisper Elf was playing in the snow.
"Well, I had better put the little one to bed before it's too late. Catch you later Chill" yawned Stealth Elf.
She picked up whisper elf and carried her on her shoulders.
"See you Stealthy"
Chill lent on the core once more, but suddenly, it whirred to life as a lifeless body appeared from the beam of light, landing in front of her with a crunch.
"Are you alright?" she inquired urgently.
