Hey guys! Brand New project I'm now working on, Legend of Spyro Mergence (Book 1), I really hope you enjoy reading it as I enjoy writing it. Word count goal for each chapter will be about 2000+ words so wish me luck! Also if you have any ideas for the story let me know since they may help me connect later ideas that I have for the story which are also as detailed as this one. Well anyway hope you guys enjoy : D
Please note that there will be some swearing in this story and first chapter will mainly deal with getting to know the main character a bit.
"I have to get out of here otherwise…" I started to say as I stopped moving and felt my entire body failing me "I'll" falling on all fours "die" I said finishing my sentence. I started to breath more deeply since my body was more injured, that and I could feel myself out of breathe. I pointed my head down and looked my bloodied dragon claws "So many sacrifices, so many losses… not enough victories…" I said with shame closing my eyes. "I've gone through so much… and for what? I let everyone down…" I thought as I slowly re-opened my eyes.
Trying to get up I remembered how my left hind leg was injured and immediately fell back on it "dang it!" I said softly but fiercely. "Not now" I said as I started to move through the pain only to feel a bone crack and shatter one step later "Ugghh" I sounded as I completely collapsed, falling on my right side. I lay there for what seemed like minutes but really was only mere seconds. I lifted my head to look at my surroundings and I saw the fire behind me, but it wasn't just fire but also ice, shadow, fear, electricity, earth, wind, etc. Any element you could just about think of, I saw being fired by dragons at other dragons. I turned my head away and sighed still laying there in the dirt, I could always be yelled at for not moving but what could I do? I was done, I had no energy left to use my elements let alone move and I had a broken leg which made my current position even worse.
I then looked to my other surroundings, only to see what kind of planet this was turning into. Looking beyond the dragons that were fighting all I could see was dirt and dirt hills. I turned my head a bit to the right only to see multiple trees that were either destroyed for being destroyed by the flames engulfing them this war is going nowhere and none can benefit from this I thought as I then looked up to view the sky which was now completely gray in color and filled with clouds. "The more we fight the more we both lose" I thought once more. I once again raised one of my dragon claws to my face to observe it "why…" I said softly with regret in my voice.
"Look out!" cried voice that was aimed at me, as I quickly moved my claw from my gaze only to see a huge energy blast come towards me. My eyes widened and it seemed time slowed down, I knew there was no way out so I shut my eyes and within the next second time moved back to its pace and I got hit full force with the attack. BOOOOOM when the blast as it collided with the ground I was on and even though it was still a few inches away I felt myself being lifted into the air due to the shockwave and then I felt air rushing over me, then soon enough felt liquid wash over me. As I slowly re-opened my eyes I saw that I was in water, belly up, sinking at a decent rate "this is it, I failed… everyone was counting on me and I failed, forgive me…" I thought as I slowly closed my eyes and letting darkness take me.

I opened my eyes and immediately leaned forward in bed "holy shit" I said as I brought my hand from under the covers of my bed to my face. As I wiped my forehead I felt sweat coming onto my hand, I then looked at my hand "damn, what the fuck? Same dream 3 nights in a row?" I asked myself with a hint of its trying to tell you something in my voice. I then removed my hand from my forehead and looked at the clock to my right "4am" I said in a soft whisper so I wouldn't wake anyone else up. Well at least its Friday I thought as I lay back down on the bed. Lying back down on the bed I put my hands behind my head and stared at the ceiling "I have to say though… those dragons…. kind of remind me of the ones in the Legend of Spyro" I lay perfectly still for a minute then gave a small quiet laugh "ah who am I kidding, this is reality, nothing like that would ever happen even if you wanted it to" I said finishing my statement. I once more looked at the clock to my right which now read 5:05am then turned to my left to go to sleep "well at least I have a short day today" I told myself as I quickly fell back asleep.

Beep-beep, beep-beep, beep-beep, my watch rang indicating me to get up. I quickly got one hand out from under the covers and leaned it over to my watch and pressed a button so it would stop ringing. After I pressed it I withdrew my hand and brought it to my face to rub my eyes as they were sore from the light. After doing that I then put both hands hind my head and stared at the ceiling "T.G.I.F and it's a short day today" I said to myself in an okay let's just get this over with voice. And with that I got out of bed and did the same morning routine that I did for 5/7 days of the week. Got dressed, wore a white shirt with some type of design on it and some blue jeans, got my phone and put it into my pocket, put on my watch and headed downstairs for breakfast. After breakfast was over I quickly brushed my teeth got my bag and right before I left the house decided to grab my black jacket, my favorite one and headed off for school.
When I arrived at school I immediately went to the cafeteria since that's where I knew my friend Nick was going to be. I've known him for about 10 years now, ever since second grade, and now we are seniors, man how time flies. In a way I guess you could call us basically brothers since we always had each other's backs. After seeing the table he was at I went over placed my bag down and sat in the chair like I already had lived through a horrible day.
He looked at me and laughed slightly "What's the matter Trent?" he asked "bad dream again". I looked at him and laughed a bit, he always knew if something was up with me and even more he could even guess what it was half the time.
"Morning to you to Nick, and yeah, what gave it away?" I asked turning my head so I could look at my wrist so I could see the time.
He pointed his hand at me for a second "your arm" he said before putting it back down "whenever you have it over the shoulder of your chair, it tells me that you usually have something on your mind. As for the dream part that was a total guess".
I looked back at him then I looked at the floor "It's the dream with the dragons again" I said now leaning over my chair having both arms rest on my legs "Third day in a row" I said looking back towards my friend. He opened his mouth and was about to say something but was cut off by the bell. We both looked at the clock on the wall then to each other.
Nick got up out of his chair and walked over to me then stopped to put his hand on my shoulder "You'll figure it out" he said trying to make feel reassured. He then started to walk away, after the first two steps though he turned to face me again "who knows maybe it's trying to tell you something" he said.
I laughed a bit "yeah right, not in this reality where nothing ever fucking happens" I replied smiling back at him. All Nick did was raise his left arm and put on a confused face indicating that he didn't know what else to tell me, and with that he once more started to leave the room so he could get to class. I sighed "I honestly wonder if I should have told him that I saw Spyro within the dream" I said to myself debating. I had played the Spyro games before and looked up the cut scenes on youtube "Ah whatever" I said getting up out of the chair "it doesn't matter" I said finishing my sentence as I grabbed my bag and walked off to class.
The rest of the school day was pretty simple for me, math, English, government gym, and astronomy. To be honest I was lucky, for each of the classes I had a sub that didn't leave any homework and on top of that, after economics I had 4 periods straight of study hall. On top of that my friend had the same thing well except for the first 5 periods, so I could consider myself pretty lucky. As soon period 5 was over though I decided to go into the main lobby and wait for my friend.
After a few minutes of waiting I saw Nick coming towards me "So hey you want to hang out at my place today?" I asked him while sitting down on one of the main lobby chairs.
Nick sighed "sorry dude, but I have to get home. My brothers been having bully problems again" he said with regret in his voice.
I stood up "nah don't worry, family comes first" I said giving him a nod "besides its better that you deal with this before it gets worse" I explained before turning around and starting to walk out the main doors of the school. Right before I let go of the door I faced my friend "I still say you should let him take out the leader so the others won't go after him" I said being serious.
Nick looked at me "Because that worked out so well for you all those years ago" he said with sorrow in his voice before turning around and walking down a hallway.
I looked at my friend walk the other way before taking the smile off my face and heading off myself. Since I lived close by I decided to walk home, it was about a 10 minute walk but I didn't care. But I didn't completely leave the grounds; instead I leaned against a small fence that was used for a court and looked at the sky. It was sunny out, something I didn't notice this morning. I put down my bag and just stared at the trees in front of me thinking about the dream I had last night "why do I keep having that dream?" I asked myself as I decided to stop leaning against the fence.
"Because it's a future that you must prevent…" said an old voice that sounded desperate.
I turned my head "what? Who said that?" I said as I looked a full 360 degrees around to find the source of the voice.
"You must prevent it young one" came the voice again this time sounding louder.
My eyes widened no that voice it can't be… I thought as I continued to look around
All of a sudden I felt the wind picking up and I raised my arms preparing for whatever was about to happen. I stepped back and when I did I noticed that there was no ground beneath but before I realized that it was too late.
I turned my head as I fell and saw what could now be described as a blue portal "what the?!" I asked myself nervously as I fell in doing a 360 unintentional back flip. Once I was right side up again I noticed that I had stopped moving and I looked down to see that I was floating. I looked around and saw nothing but cosmos?!
"What is this?!" I asked myself feeling frightened as I looked back to see that the portal I fell through was no longer there.
"Young one!" the voice came again now sounding even more desperate, I turned around to find a familiar blue dragon staring right at me "Ignitus?"I asked surprised and wondered in sheer confusion of what was going on. He seemed to be in a state like me floating in space with the cosmos all around.
"Time is short; you must help Spyro prevent the resurrection of Malefor before it's too late" he said before pointed a finger at an area below me.
I looked down to find another blue portal spawn and it showed an area that I had never seen before.
"I wish you the best of luck" said Ignitus before closing his eyes.
"Wait!" I cried out reaching my arm out "What do you mean prevent Malefors resurrection? Isn't he dead?" I asked so confused of what was going on.
Ignitus started to fade "May the ancestors watch over you" Ignitus said before finally vanishing.
I then looked around to see everything fade completely black and found the only light source coming from the portal. Then all of a sudden I felt gravity and started to fall towards the portal going head first "Ignitus!" I yelled before putting my arms to cover my face as I pass through the portal. After I passed through I removed my arms from my face and looked back to see the portal close and then I felt gravity completely take over. If that weren't bad enough felt pain surge through my body and then I saw a white electric current go through my whole body. I looked at my hands to so see them show a ghost image of a white dragon's claw then flicker back to normal. After that the pain subsided I felt myself turning in so many different directions and as I was turning I was able to see that I was currently over an area with lush green valleys and clear water.
This is it, I'm actually going to die.. I thought as I fell. When I turned once more over so I was facing the ground I saw two creature's one black and the other purple flying below me and about to collide with me.
"Look out!" I yelled toward the purple creature which now that I had a slightly better look at I noticed was a dragon. The purple dragon looked at me but it didn't matter because as soon as he did I collided in to him and continued to fall. He on the other hand fell only a few feet before hovering back in the air.

"Spyro are you okay?" asked a female dragon with black scales and a red underbelly as she flew over to Spyro a purple dragon with purple scales and a golden underbelly.
Spyro shook his head "Yeah I'm fine Cynder" as he turned towards her "but I don't think he will be if he keeps falling" Spyro said turning his head towards the creature that was still falling.
"Come on Cynder!" Spyro said as he dived in toward the unknown creature Cynder following close behind.

As I continued to fall I saw the ground getting closer and just about lost all hope to survive. I knew only had about 20 seconds left to live so I decided to shut my eyes and wait for the end.
"Just hold on, I'll save you!" I opened my eyes and looked upward where the voice was coming from to find the purple dragon diving in toward me "Spyro…" I said to myself as I then looked back toward the ground knowing that if he was able to reach that it was going to be close. 20 seconds left! I thought as I braced for impact as best I could only as I was doing so I felt four hands, feet, claws, whatever you would call it grab my left foot.
I turned my head around to find Spyro looking at me "hold on" he said as he tried to pull me up. 15 seconds! I thought as I then saw Cynder grab on to Spyro who looked at her and they both nodded as the both tried to stop me from crashing in to the ground. I looked back down toward the ground and saw that we were starting to angle the fall It won't be enough though! I thought as I finished counting down to zero to find all 3 of us landing on the ground, though because of the momentum we all continued to bounce on the ground several feet. I continued to bounce for about 3 seconds before finally stopping. I opened my eyes after closing them right before we hit the ground to find myself staring right at the sky.
I then realized that my right leg felt wet so I looked over toward it to find that 1/3 of my body was in some kind of stream. Once more I leaned my head, this time over towards Spyro and the other one who I now recognized to be Cynder. I saw them quickly recover and run over to me as I started to black out….
Holy crap, hahaha, that was officially the longest chapter I have EVER written. 3000+ words? I thought I would be lucky enough just to get 2000, but you know what I ain't complaining. Well guys I really hoped you enjoyed reading that as much I as enjoyed writing it and believe me when I say there is MORE coming. But anyway guys a few things before I finish here:
