The tall, brown-haired man spoke urgently to the young Mabu at his side.
"Dugo, don't question me. You will understand one day."
Dugo began to protest, "But Master Eon! I—"
"Dugo!" Eon put his hands on Dugo's shoulders. "You haven't relieved yourself all day! Go now or you will make this journey painful for both of us."
Dugo begrudgingly agreed, and headed behind a rock. He made a pss sound with his mouth and pretended to follow Eon's orders. Eon shook his head. He knew exactly what the Mabling was doing. Sighing, he pretended not to notice.
Suddenly, a shadow passed over him and he was overcome by a vision. With a gasp, he fell unconscious.
Dugo, hearing his master's cry, rushed out from behind the rock to see dark clouds beginning to form, and his master lying on the ground. Panicked, he raced over and tried to lift Eon, but being a young Mabu, and Eon being an adult human, was not able. Instead, with tears running down his face as the sky grew dark and lightning struck the earth, he took off his jacket and held it over Eon's head to protect him from the rain. What else could he do?
In his vision, Eon saw darkness. But he also saw hope. Aerent, the god of chances, spoke to him, saying that evil was coming, and Eon needed to find the Arkeyans to build a Core of Light, and create a team of protectors. He needed to create... The Skylanders. Eon fell at Aerent's feet.
"But who will help me? Dugo is young, and I am growing old!"
Aerent sat in his golden throne and adjusted the Crown of Promises on his head.
"You will have the help of all the gods. You will find any and every promising creature, and with my blessing, will train them to protect and serve Skylands. Here is Spyro. He will be the leader of the Skylanders." A deep purple dragon appeared at Aerent's side and stepped forward, nodding at Eon. Eon's vision began to fade. "Go now. Dugo is going to wet himself."
Eon stood slowly, "Yes, Lord Aerent."
Dugo was soaked, but it was all worth it when Eon opened his eyes.
"Master Eon!" Dugo almost dropped the jacket in his joy. Eon looked around, worried.
"Where is—"
He was cut off by a loud "bang" and a crackle as a purple dragon appeared next to Dugo. Dugo shrieked and dropped the jacket, dumping all the water that had pooled, onto Eon's head.
"What is that?!"
Eon stood and wrung out his beard, not that it made a difference, as the rain soaked him again in an instant.
"That is Spyro. The leader of the Skylanders." He explained grimly. Dugo looked around wide-eyed.
"What are—I mean, where are—or, how did—"Eon stopped him with a wave of his hand.
"Silence, Dugo. A great evil is coming, and I need you to keep a clear head."
Dugo closed his mouth and bowed his head.
"Yes, Master Eon."
Hey everybody! I'm writing about Skylanders! (obviously) this particular story is about the beginnings of the skylanders and how the Core of Light was made. It's rated for older kids because of the romance and blood and gore I'm gonna put into it. If you haven't guessed, Dugo is Hugo's dad, and Eon is a bit younger. Mabus only live about twenty years and Dugo is nine months old in this part. I'm hoping to explain some of the gaps in the storyline, and make up some of my own. Plz read and review and give me your ideas! Thx!
