Wonder of Fire Quintology
This story was suggested by Xerneas. I don't own this story nor the Characters of the Spyro series.
Go check Xerneas out!
I was scared, like a hatchling should be. I didn't know what, who, or where I was. I heard people all around me and it frightened me even more.
I finally opened my eyes, and saw 3 other dragons. All were different shades of red. Two of them were about the same size, while one was much smaller than both. They eagerly watch me try to stand up.
"Spectacular! Thank the Ancestors for the future Guardian!" Apollonir said with joy.
My father, Apollonir, was the Guardian of Fire at the time. He had red scales and wings with a yellow underbelly and 2 horns.
"I know he will do amazing things for the Realms," Scream said with the same enthusiasm.
Scream was my mother, and Guardian of the Fear. Her scales were a dark red color, with the same colored wings. She had a yellow underbelly as well and two horns.
I took a few more shaky steps. I got the hang of it and walked right up to the smallest dragon. He looked just like me, but only he had very dark red color while I was like my dad. He had no horns of course.
"This guy is my younger brother? At least there's someone I can play with…" Splitfire said.
"Don't be rude, Split, this is… what shall we name him?" Scream said.
I tried to repeat Split's name and I blew fire. Nearby was a wooden desk and my small flame had caught onto it and it ignited further. My parents frantically put it out. Then they laughed about it.
"We'll call him… Ignitus," Apollonir said with a laugh.
"Ig.. Ignitus?" I said with difficulty.
My parents smiled. My mother picked me up and held me close to her face.
"You like that name don't you, Ignitus?" she said.
I nodded, smiling for the first time ever.
One Week Later…
Now some time has passed. I could control my fire breathing better, but it is still small and somewhat unstable. I explored the area we lived in, which was the temple, nearby the swamps and forests. I also learned to talk fluently.
There weren't many dragons that lived by, so I often spent time with my older brother. Games of hide and seek and tag were what we did during the day. We also explored the area around us. Sometimes we were called to our parents' room for lessons on the world around us.
They explained how all of the other Guardians' families lived in different temples across the realms. How there was Fire, Ice, Electricity, and Earth as each elements. Fewer dragons wielded elements like Fear, Wind, Poison and
Then there were the Dark elements, which are known by the Ancestors but not anyone else.
At least we thought it was that way.
Anyway my parents just finished their lesson for today. They let us go out to play, but something went wrong just as I stepped outside.
The sky turned to darker than night itself. Lightning of multiple colors flashed in the sky, and thunder was loud enough that it rumbled the Earth.
Our parents flew to us, and we hid behind them.
"What has happened? The sky just turned black!" Apollonir said.
My mother looked toward the sky, "There!"
We all see a large rip in the sky. It warped the forest with its energy.
We all watched as four dragons came out of it. From here we could see that they were adult dragons, but we couldn't get any more detail about them.
They looked around for a minute. Then they saw us.
They all roared so loud that the ground cracked below us.
They flew off together into the distance after their intimidation attempt.
"Who are they?" My mother asked.
"I don't know, but they aren't friendly," my dad said, "let's go back inside."
We followed our parents, shaky from the scare. The daylight returned but the storm remained. The rain came down in torrents outside.
We stayed in for the rest of the day. My parents tried to make sense out of these mysterious dragons but they couldn't figure it out.
My brother and I were in our room and decided to just read. It didn't take our minds off of the event though.
"Four dragons out of a portal like that? What's happening?" my brother asked.
I shook my head, "I know as much as you do. I wonder what those dragons are here for though."
My brother walked over to the candle lighting our room," I'm not going to worry too much now, too bad we can't go outside for a while eh?"
"Nope. Goodnight, Split," I said, getting ready to sleep.
"Goodnight, Ignitus," Split said before blowing out the candle, albeit with difficulty.
The Next Day…
My brother and I found that it was still raining outside. Now there were large puddles outside and it looked like it may flood.
We didn't dwell on it for long. We ate our breakfast with our parents then brought it up.
"Something is wrong now," Apollonir said, "Ever since those dragons came not only the weather is affected but other things too."
Scream nodded, "After you two went to sleep, I surveyed around for damage to the environment. The apes are scrambled and going nuts, attacking each other and their leaders. Cheetahs are leaving the forests and going to Warfang. Moles are being moles and going underground. These dragons haven't even attacked yet and they have already caused this much panic."
"We must speak with the other Guardians about this. They may have more information on them," Apollonir said.
"ROAD TRIP!" My brother and I said.
Our enthusiasm was met with looks from our parents.
"I understand you both are very young, but this is very serious boys," Scream said.
We nodded slowly, understanding how dangerous this could turn out.
"Well then let's get going," Apollonir said, "Let's see our fellow Guardians!"
