Chapter 1: Quite The Start

Hazard and Spyro continued to glare at each other as the dueling duo circled the arena. "Where's the action?" questioned the voice that would announce the details of the battle.

"Well you heard him," Hazard said to his opponent.

"Might as well," Spyro answered. The two charged at each other and the audience chanted excitedly. After the fearsome battle Spyro ended up on top of Hazard, pinning him down. "You do realize what is going to happen, right?" Hazard playfully asked.

"I don't think I do," Spyro replied.

"Like, seriously you should know this," Hazard said. Afterward, Hazard sprayed venom onto Spyro, and like expected he sprung backward, dreadfully clawing his face. To end the battle Hazard coiled around Spyro and held him still until Spyro stopped struggling. "K.O." blared the announcer.

Hazard dragged the sluggish Spyro out of the arena and allowed him to rejuvenate. Spyro then rolled his tired eyes and looked at Hazard. "You really have grown strong haven't you?" he complimented.

"I guess that is just a genetic thing," Hazard said then laughed. Spyro rolled his eyes, expanded his wings and flew off. Spyro, being the leader of the skylanders has never really been that playful. He is a mature, strong leader and doesn't goof around too much. While he had a great sense of humor when he wanted to show it, Hazard could drive him to the state of insanity from his constant talking and humor.

Even Hazard has his own mature side. Normally when he was on missions this side of him came out. However, a passive portion of that maturity will stay with him no matter what. If left with skylanders who love to be immature for too long, he would likely kill them all, due to being easily annoyed."

He slithered around, looking for somebody to talk to. After a bit of searching and interrogating he found Cynder laying down by the edge of the skyland. Hazard was a bit confused by this, as Cynder normally doesn't do that. He coiled up beside her and observed the horizon. It stayed silent for about 5 minutes until Hazard spoke up.

"Why are you so down?" Hazard asked his friend.

"I'm not, it's just...," Cynder trailed off on her sentence. Hazard and Cynder have been friends for about 4 years. Back in the day when Hazard wasn't so much of a skylander then someone hiding his existence from the world, Cynder was quite a loner. No skylanders trusted her, liked her, or even just wanted to talk to her. Sure, she had Spyro, but even then she didn't feel right.

Hazard was the guy who she could talk to about her issues with the world or just need someone to talk to when she was in need. And Hazard was great at doing that. They never lied to each other. Never attempted to mask anything. Ever since that one day when she discovered his home when his particle accelerator malfunctioned and the perma-cloak device stopped working. (She still has no idea how he built it)

"What is it?" Hazard asked in a hushed, worried voice.

"I don't know, I have a peculiar feeling," Cynder answered. Hazard himself was feeling pretty peculiar himself. He was seeing moving shadows in the corners of his eyes and occasional whispers. He shrugged it off, thinking it was his mind tricking him.

"Please explain," Hazard asked.

"It seems like someone is trying to control...," again, Cynder left her sentence unfinished.

"Control what?" Hazard questioned, frantically desiring an answer.

"I-I can't tell, my sensory is being blocked," Cynder said. Cynder, being of the undead element can sense and track odd forces, but never has her senses been blocked. "Well that's not...," Hazard's sentence cut off.

"What?" Cynder asked. Hazard said nothing. "Hazard?" she asked and looked over at him. Cynder gasped and got to her feet. Hazard's eyes were a more pale red and his pupils weren't there. His body was stiff and cold as ice. His mouth opened and started to speak. "I had dreams of the queen wonders that lived inside the hearts of love and silent treatments of all the elderly that I knew were once whole," Hazard unconsciously spoke with no tone of emotion.

"Hazard! Someone help him!" Cynder desperately called out to the others who were around.

"I seek the revelations of all that the holy told to the unwise in the dreams of cold embers in sunlight that fade across lakes of black blood and snakes that eat the loaves of children from lamb trees in autumn," Hazard continued to speak.

Many skylanders, including Whirlwind, Stealth Elf, Drobot, Spyro, Eruptor, Roller Brawl, Grim Creeper, Flashwing, and many others came and took him to Eon's palace. Cynder carefully listened to what Hazard was saying to see if she could find a clue to what was happening. "Endless suffering is the woe of ignorant men who never lack to seek the depth of their own hearts and only see the wealth of a poor world suffering to flay its own back in knife wounds of silver and brutal gladness." Hazard continued to speak.

When they got there Eon was shocked to his Hazard in this state. Eon rolled him over and checked along his body. "Is he speaking?" Eon mumbled to himself.

"The nightmare is a dream to the nameless slug that wanders across minefield and the remains of deer and kings," Hazard spoke.

"I can't make any sense out his wording," Eon announced. "Whirlwind, Camo, Drobot, and Grim Creeper, I need you to stay here with me, the rest of you will need to wait outside," Eon continued. Before Cynder stepped out the door Eon blocked her from exiting. "You'll need to stay too," he explained.

Cynder discreetly nodded and watched nervously as the team operated to save Hazard. She still listened to his constant talking to find clues to anything that was going on. "Nightshade is shadows in all honest blinks that sort through the bile of newborn plagues, instant warmth is a mother's milk in dreams before anything was ever evil." Hazard continued to quote.

His speech began to get quieter by the moment. "In seconds the sun is beating like drums in all hearts eat the ear of noise," Hazard said much more smoothly. "The sensual violence of lust is all the assurance you will ever need to know the worth of life," Hazard said. After that he stopped talking and the team stopped whatever they were doing.

"So, what's the verdict?" Cynder asked and Eon shook his head.

Just decided to put this up because I had nothing to do.

I don't want to say anything because if I do, we will be here the whole dang day.

Anyways, thanks, and die hard everyone!

And I will see you... in the next chapter!

Bye-Bye!
