So, I see the summary has brought you in. I'll speak to you more at the end of the chapter.
Disclaimer that you have seen in any other story: I do not own anything from the game canon. I only own the story concept, original characters, setting that isn't in the games, etc.
I was born a time after the end of the Great War. Maybe around twenty years? No, the war I am referring to is not the Maleforian Wars that so many know about, but both actually ended around the same time. I am speaking of the war between the Second Human Empire and the Zolandi nation. The war had stretched back far into the past, so far that no records have ever shown what started the accursed thing. There were times of 'peace' as times were referred to when there was only one major confrontation per year.
The war finally ended when there was a great ulcer of the planet that caused it to begin to rip itself apart before being pulled back together by a massive wave of energy. When this was seen, both of the nations realized that there were forces beyond their own that were affecting the planet that were far superior to themselves. The nations proceeded to go through intense negotiations, which lasted about a year, which actually got fairly tense whenever there was an assassination attempt. Old habits, and hatreds, die hard.
Anyway, eventually the negotiations were finished, and the two nations were combined into "The United Republic of Tharin", named after the ancient word for the continent that both nations had developed upon.
While the resentment between the two sides was still strong, seriously, who could blame them after that long of a war, the Republic eventually constructed a grand fleet to search the world for the forces that had destroyed and repaired the world. It took about fifteen years, I think, but they managed to contact a civilization that was nearly upon the exact other side of the world, but a little to the north, and a little longer to the south, as well as being a little wider than our continent. It was populated by sentient dragons, bipedal cheetahs, 3 foot humanoid moles, and a whole host of other creatures. Strangely enough, they spoke the same language as the Republic!
There the Republic found out about the events of the Maleforian Wars, and they were amazed. They wanted to have the heroes of the war come to the Republic's homeland, but knew that it would seem…suspicious that they ask the newly discovered nation to ship their heroes far away to an uncertain welcoming. So, they built up relations over the next seven years, during which time I was born, as I said earlier. When the time was right, they invited the heroes to the Republic, and were glad when they accepted. What they didn't know was that it was the beginning of the end of their world that they had made. When the heroes arrived, there was a large celebration for them. They had enjoyed the celebration, but seemed to be…distracted, I think is the proper word. When they were meeting with the leaders of the Republic, there was an attack by an aerial force of pirates. The heroes were taken to the shelters used for raids, back when the war was still going on. In there, the heroes killed the leadership of the Republic, and proceeded to destroy the capital, with the help of the pirates. In order to prevent the pirates from talking, they executed every…last...one. The heroes then managed to cross the world and got home. When they arrived there, they convinced their leaders that they had been attacked by the Republic, and had the nation prepare for war. When the Republic came to bring the heroes to trial, the nation struck back, destroying the fleet. A long war followed, and the Republic crumbled. A large portion of the Zolandi race was killed, as well as the entirety of the human race! Well, almost the entirety. A lone cheetah warrior smuggled back a two year old child to her homeland, and left her unforgiving tribe, to form a group to protect the child, which in order to sustain itself performed acts of piracy. I am that child. My original name was lost, but the name the cheetah gave to me a different name. Omega, the last human. I am sworn to kill the ones who were responsible for the destruction of my race, Spyro and Cynder.
I have a feeling that this will provide an interesting story, what with putting the standard heroes as the antagonists. I'll go into further detail of how this wound up happening in later chapters, but I'll leave you to wonder with your theories, for now. I'm not entirely certain I should continue this story, though, since I haven't really planned anything major past this point, though, but ideas can begin to crop up quickly. Roleplaying games on the Bay 12 Forums has taught me that using those methods can prove quite...interesting. I feel that I might need to eventually up the rating, because it is likely that things could get...ugly, to say the least.
Please Review.
