Chapter 1: the forgotten tale

Authors note at the bottom.
"For as long as anyone can remember there has been darkness. That impenetrable cloud of evil that can corrupt even the purest of hearts. Once it ruled over skylands, which back then was a place where thieves stole from thieves, city's were burnt through anger, and the entire world burst to pieces of dark and evil kingdoms. All was thought to be lost the world in turmoil and chaos.
That was until the skylanders came. They were guardians of peace and all that was good. These giants destroyed what was evil and dark with their elemental powers and with the help of the portal masters created the one thing that could keep the darkness at bay, the core of light. They then passed on their elemental powers to a new group of skylanders and fell into a deep slumber that would last hundreds and hundreds of years. The new skylanders used their newfound powers to keep the peace, for the darkness was always looking for a path to regain its cold hungry grip on skylands. This was how-"
Stealth elf slammed the book down on the mahogany desk and glared at the three young skylanders sitting in desks laughing.
"be quiet and listen" she yelled attempting to gain control again. But they only laughed harder (pop fizz nearly falling out of his chair). She tried twice more before pulling out a gold encrusted dragon tooth blade and stabbing it halfway through her desk. That made them shut up.
"I don't see what's so funny about skylander history" she asked expecting a good reason.
"the fact that you actually believe in this stuff, it's stupid and unreal!" chill a human girl with blue eyes and lips said smirking. The other two laughed at this too.
"and you wouldn't be taking this class if you hadn't 'accidentally' pushed sonicboom Into the volcano in the lava lakes." stealth elf replied glaring at the three. "and pop fizz you failed chemistry because all you could make was soda."
"hey cinder hates me ok!" pop fizz a little furry blue gremlin creature yelled at her.
"yeah what do you know about nowadays chemistry, you're like 4000 years old, when a penny was worth a fortune." shroomboom a sarcastic little mushroom with a slingshot taunted. "and you're half as cool as trigger happy and dino-rang."
"trigger happy was a raving maniac and dino-rang was in a block of amber before they became skylanders." Stealth elf replied unaffected by their taunting.
"and you were a poor girl who knew how to hold a knife." chill said thinking she had won.
"no I was a bandit who protected a town from evil doers and travelers from monsters in a dangerous forest, oh and I have a treasure hoard larger than the great dragon Ramses,king of dragon peak." she said smirking at the dropped jaws of the three. " class dismissed"
She then began picking up books and placing them in a neat orderly pile. As the three exited the room silently. When they had gotten out of hearing distance chill began to mock stealth elf.
"oh look at me I believe in giants because we have no actual proof that they exist! God she is so full of lies." chill said making overly exaggerating actions while shroomboom began snickering. "she believes in that crap about giants and skylanders before her. Sorry to break it to you but you were created by elemental magic not born! Completely unlike us, I never wanted to be a skylander!"
"absolute crap that's what it is hex even told me skylanders are created through elemental magic. Maybe that's why she can't remember her childhood!" shroomboom exclaimed dodging a suit of armor in order to keep at pace with pop fizz and chill.
Chill sighed and the three continued down the hall which was decorated by suits of armor and artifacts of legendary warriors. Such as swords labeled helichopper's blades and shields with names like gokura. Most of the skylanders in the trio's group thought of these as funny and would mock them constantly. Doors littered the walls with everything from training sessions to studying going on behind their crystalline frames. A view of the sea was visible through the windows for the castle was carved into the side of a mountain. At dusk you could find skylanders sitting on balconies outside their dorms a few floors up, and later this particular night chill was leaning on her balcony staring at the sea like she did every night. She would stare at the sea and think of her home, the home she had lost just because she had been chosen. She heard a knock on her door and went to answer it, not surprised to see hex standing (or rather floating) there
"I'm here don't worry go and make sure the others are here." chill said with a sigh.
"but I'm not on patrol tonight, I just sensed a large amount of gloominess coming from down here, and since I'm an undead skylander I was attracted to it." hex replied "what wrong? Homesick?"
"yeah I guess." chill answered trying to end the conversation.
"well lets talk because a gloomy skylander is useless." hex said brushing past her and sending a shiver like she was cold down chill's back.
Just great! Another talk about how I should be happy to have this opportunity chill thought to herself. "it's just that stealth elf seems to make me want to believe in something that obviously isn't true."
"as I always say a skylander is made not born." hex replied.
"so your saying she's lying!" chill said perking up.
"no" hex retorted "she just knows a great deal. Perhaps you should show her some respect."
"respect!" chill snorted not meaning to be rude "she just makes up half the stuff we hear about!"
"or does she?" hex quizzed.
"what do you mean one moment you tell me she's wrong then you tell me she's right? What do you mean?" chill asked.
"all will be revealed" hex told her handing her a small package and walking out.
Chill waited until the door had closed before slowly opening it revealing a necklace. The necklace had eight pendents on it with the symbols for air, life, undead, earth, fire, water, magic, and tech elements.
"great how's this supposed to help me figure out what she meant. I wish I knew why they believe in that stuff!" chill yelled to no one and threw the necklace across the room where it began to glow. She stood slowly and inched closer. The fire elemental symbol was aglow and she slowly picked it up and walked over to her bed.
"what?!" she asked her eyes drooping as she slumped over in her bed as images filled her mind...
