Across the street from Alec's house, a white car pulled up and parked next to the curb. Then a man in a white suit and sunglasses stepped out of the car. He was about the same age as Alec. He had long, brown, wavy hair. He was about as tall as Alec, but was thinner. After a pause, he started walking toward the house.

"Now if only I could control what I transformed into when I go through the portal," Alec said as he thought out loud.

As he was putting his folders away, the doorbell rang. Seeing as Pat was currently at work, Alec was the only one available to answer the door. Alec went the stairs and to the door. When he opened up the door, a man in white was standing there.

"Alec Willey, I am with the CIA, and you are to be taken into custody," the man in white said in a firm emotionless tone.

"What are the charges?" Alec asked.

"For an unforgivable crime. You are charged with crimes against fashion."

"Crimes against fashion?" Alec repeated, "Since when do law enforcement officers where white? And I'm the one being charged with crimes against fashion?"

"Hey, I don't choose the suit. I just wear it," the man in white said as he took the shaded cover off of his glasses, "Actually, this was my father's suit. I'm actually on my way back from a wedding."

Perhaps I should introduce you before you start getting the wrong ideas. This is my friend from high school, Raymond Sudbury. One of the things I love about him is how serious he can appear when he's joking around.

But seriously, when have you ever heard of the government's men in black ever wearing white?

"Who's wedding did you go to?" Alec asked.

"My cousin's wedding," Raymond said, "So, what's your latest project?"

"Actually, it's something I've started working on for over three years now," Alec answered, "I've been spending allot of time perfecting it. But come to think of it, I haven't been working on anything else since I started the project."

I told Raymond about my portal and the Dragon Realms from the Spyro games being an actual physical place. As expected, he didn't believe me at first. After all, it sounds like something out of a science fiction movie. But after some convincing...and actually taking him to the Dragon Realms, he was finally convinced. Either that or he believed he was having a hallucination.

After the portal talk, we got caught up with each other. But knowing Raymond, he's probably gonna want to come visit the Dragon Realms now.

A cloaked figure walks up to a cliff side and pushes in a rock that was sticking out. He then twists the rock ninety degrees clockwise and pulls it back out. This causes a boulder to move out of the way and reveal a hidden cave. The figure walks into a cave. The inside of the cave had the appearance of a laboratory.

The figure then got to work on what appeared to be some sort of high tech dragon armor.

Alec, or rather, instructor Silver as he is referred to by the students in the Temple Academy, was working on his plans for his first class of the new year. It wasn't hard for him to plan out the first class of the year, since it was generally the same thing he had done for the past three years. But this time he was having difficulty concentrating.

Normally I don't have trouble concentrating on what I'm going to do for my classes. The only time I can remember having trouble was three years ago for my first class ever. But this time, the reason for my lack of concentration was different.

After all, have you ever had to concentrate while a trio of three year old dragons were playing around your paws and trying to get you to play with them?

Alec had been going to the Dragon Realms to plan out his beginning of the year class. It helped to make plans with others there to help, which is why he made his plans with Spyro and Cynder, who were doing the same. But this time, their children were more active than they were before.

"Hey, uncle Alec, come and play!" the white youngling chirped.

Vortex is a white dragon with black wings, underside, horns and tail blade. He also has a black patch over his right eye. His horns are the same shape as Spyro's. And his tail blade resembled half of an arrowhead with the left half missing. His eyes were fascinating. His right eye, the one with the black patch, is a normal emerald colored eye. But his left eye is a black eye with a white iris and pupil.

Vortex is a little ball of energy. In fact, he's so energetic that he practically sucks the energy from the people around him. It seems that the name Vortex was an accurate choice. I can't help but feel like his energy is gonna cause trouble when he gets older.

Vortex' twin sister is Aurora. Her coloration is an inverted version of Vortex'. She's a black dragoness with white wings, underside, horns and tail blade. She also has white patch, but over the left eye. Her horns are also the same shape as Spyro's. And her tail blade also resembled half of an arrowhead, but with the right half missing. Her right eye is a normal violet colored eye. Her left eye, the eye with the white patch, is like her twin brother's, black with a white iris and pupil. Aurora is like the polar opposite of her twin brother. She's a bit shy and doesn't express herself much.

The way twins work with dragons is different than that of humans, since it's common for dragons to lay multiple eggs at once. So what defines twins for dragons is if two dragons hatch from a single egg.

Vortex and Aurora had grown to about a fifth the size of Spyro and Cynder. However, that size also includes that Spyro and Cynder have grown as well. They were now about half the size of Cyril. Alec had grown to about two thirds the size of Cyril.

Iggy however was only about two thirds the size of Vortex and Aurora.

Iggy is a black dragon with red wings and underside. He has a metallic tail spade. His horns are shaped like Cynder's, though he only has the two. His eyes are an amber color. But Iggy was smaller. He's only about two thirds the size of his siblings. It seems that maybe he has a stunted growth. Iggy is the curious type. He seems to find fascination in anything he hasn't seen before. And this is probably my silver dragon senses telling me this. But I feel like he's not as happy as he often appears.

"I'm busy, Vortex," Alec explained, "I need to plan out the first class of the year."

"Maybe we should leave uncle Alec alone," Aurora said nervously.

"But why?" Iggy asked, "Every year is the same plan, right?"

"Not exactly," Alec replied, "Although I get new students every year, I also get returning students. So I want to mix things up so that the students that are returning don't get a repeat of previous times."

"Okay you three. Let Alec work in peace," Spyro said as he came into the room, "When you get older and have to concentrate on something, you wouldn't want someone distracting you, would you?"

"DADDY!" Iggy cheered, running over to his father and jumping on his back.

Iggy had a special bond with Spyro. Even though my silver dragon senses can sense that, you don't need special senses to figure that out. Like the special bond I have with my mom.

From the day he hatched, Iggy had always enjoyed riding on Spyro. It started out with him riding on Spyro's muzzle. But eventually he got too big and transferred to the top of Spyro's head. Now it's his back, but he still keep his head on top of Spyro's.

"I assume this means you've finished your plans," Alec said, "So where's Cynder?"

"She's still looking over the plans to make sure we didn't make any mistakes. At least, that's what she claims," Spyro said, "But knowing her, she probably just wanted an excuse to get herself a snack."

"Why does she need to make an excuse to get a snack?" Alec asked.

"I don't know," Spyro replied, "Maybe she's afraid if someone knew about her snacking, they'd think that someone would worry about her figure."

"I guess that females always worry about their figures, whether they're from the Dragon Realm or the Human Realm," Alec joked.

X~ ~ ~ ~ ~X

The next day was the start of Alec's Human Realm class, along with Spyro and Cynder's team work training class. Alec's Human Realm class was the third class of the day. Alec's class was only once a week, even though he was offered the chance to have a full week. Alec chose not to take the chance because it would take up too much time from his life at home.

For the first class, I chose to play the part of a dull instructor with no sense of humor. But that's intentionally misleading.

The students were now entering Alec's class. Alec just stood there with a serious expression as the students entered and took their seats. Once all the students were seated, Alec began to speak in a dull tone.

"Welcome class. I am Silver, your instructor for this class. Here you will be studying about the humans and the world they come from," Alec, or rather, Silver said in a boring tone. After the mention of studying humans, a grunt was heard, "I will now be calling out your names. If I call out your name and you are not present, please raise your paw."

"How could the guardians make an idiot like you an instructor?" a female voice spoke up, "If a student isn't here, then how can they raise their paws when their names are called to let you know that they aren't here?" The student that spoke up was a light gray dragoness with ocean blue wings and underside. Her eyes were an aquamarine color. She had a scythe-like tail blade and red markings on her shoulders and forehead that were in the shape of five diamonds put together to make a star shape.

I could sense trouble coming from this dragoness from the moment she walked into my classroom. But it isn't the kind of trouble making that I would sense from someone being defiant or being bully, like another one of my students. What I sensed felt more sinister. And I almost want to say it's unnatural.

But what also caught my attention was her appearance. With the exceptions of her coloration and the design of her markings, this dragoness looked identical to Cynder. I swear that I was looking at a younger version of Cynder. It was creepy.

But I can't let creepy simularities get in the way of my teaching.

"Yes, that is the joke," Silver said in a calm but displeased tone, "I was expecting someone to point that out. But there was no need for you to be as rude as you were. You haven't made the best first impression. But being the first class, I'll be generous and let it slide."

"Well don't do me any favors, Silver," the dragoness commented.

This is gonna be a long year.

"Well, I think I'll start the role call," Silver said in a more positive tone, ignoring the rude comment of the gray dragoness, "When I call you're name, please respond so I know you're here. Bolt?"

A white dragoness with golden yellow wings and underside, golden yellow eyes, and golden yellow lightning bolt shaped horns and tail tip raised her paw to reply.

"Celsius?"

"Here."

"Ember?"

"Here!" little Ember chirped. Though she wasn't as little anymore. Ember was now just a little younger than she was in A Heroes Tail. But generally she appeared the same.

"Flame?"

"Here," a red dragon who was roughly the same age as Ember said happily.

"Fog?"

The gray dragoness with the bad attitude just grunted in response.

"Latis?"

"Here."

"Quarry?"

"Yeah..." A forest green dragon who slightly resembled Terrador said.

"Shard?"

"Present," a white ice dragon with blue wings and underside said.

"Sienna?"

"Here," Ember's big sister replied.

"Zaze?"

"Here."

After the introductions, I gave the basic idea of what my class was about. Although it's not like it takes much to explain that I'm gonna be teaching about the Human Realm. Although that little brat Fog helped pass the time with her rudeness. That and Shard being a smart alec with how...wait.

X~ ~ ~ ~ ~X

Later that day, Spyro and Cynder had their first class, team work training. This class took the slot of Terrador's physical training class. While Cynder was getting the dojo ready, Spyro took down the names of the students. But instead of Alec's role call technique, Spyro asked each of the students names as they came through the door into the training dojo, checking each of the names off as they said them. Spyro was surprised at the appearance of one of them...Fog.

Spyro was caught off guard temporarily when he saw how much Fog looked like Cynder. But he passed it off as a strange coincidence.

The last student to enter the dojo was Bolt, "May I have your name?" Spyro asked the young dragoness, who didn't say a word, "Is something wrong?" The dragoness shook her head no, but then gave out a nervous whimper, "If you're nervous because I'm a purple dragon, or because I'm an instructor, I promise you that you have nothing to worry about," Spyro said in a gentle comforting tone.

The dragoness hesitated for a moment, but then gained the courage to say her name, "MMMM Mmy name iiiis BBBBB Bo-olt." Bolt said with a stutter. But this was not a nervous stutter. It seemed that her hesitation in speaking was because she had a speech impediment.

"I see. It's a speech impediment," Spyro realized, making Bolt lower her head, "Don't worry. I won't make you talk if you don't want to, unless it's necessary." Bolt then smiled up at Spyro and entered the dojo while Spyro checked Bolt off of the checklist.

Unlike Alec, Spyro and Cynder don't try to change their style for their first class of the year. Their first class is exciting enough as is.

"Alright class. Instead of just telling you what we'll be doing in the class, We thought we would just show you a demonstration," Cynder said. Then she activated the dojo's training dummies. Spyro and Cynder began their demonstration of their team work.

Cynder began by shooting a blast of fear at one of the dummies, temporarily stunning it. Then Spyro swiped at the dummy with his claws, taking off the dummy's head. Spyro then grabbed onto one of the dummies, holding it in place. Cynder then shot a blast of poison, dissolving that dummy. Spyro then used his earth element to hold one of the dummies feet in place, giving Cynder the chance to swipe at it with her tail blade, splitting that one in two. Then Spyro used his ice element to freeze a dummy in place. Cynder then covered her claws in her shadow element as she swiped at the frozen dummy with her 'Shadow Claw'.

For the finally, the two of them took the two remaining dummies, attacking with a melee attack before tossing them up into the air. Spyro and Cynder then used their fire and shadow elements respectively. The two elemental attacks merged together to create a 'Shadow Flare' team attack. When the Shadow Flare hit the two dummies, they were instantly vaporized, causing ashes to rain down on the class.

Most of the class were aw struck at the performance. Fog however wasn't that interested. However, the ashes caused Bolt to start sneezing uncontrollably. Bolt was sneezing so much that she couldn't even breath.

"Celsius, take Bolt to the infirmary right away!" Cynder commanded urgently.

"Yes, ma'am," Celsius said before taking Bolt out to the infirmary.

"Just as I thought. A lightweight," Fog said quietly.

Cynder heard what the dragoness said and was about to criticize her. But when she saw Fog for the first time, and Fog looked back...it was like time froze. It was almost as if they were in a trance. Their eyes were locked with each other. Cynder was so focused on Fog that she couldn't hear Spyro trying to get her attention. Finally, Spyro had to grab her and turn her around to face him to break the gaze.

"Cynder, what happened?!" Spyro asked in a worried tone, "You two were looking at each other for about ten minutes!"

"Ten minutes?!" Cynder said in shock.

First things first. Raymond Sudbury is in fact a friend of mine from high school (though I'm probably spelling his last name wrong). The main thing we have in common is our love for videogames...and that's pretty much it. That and our serious expressions.

And who is that mysterious cloaked figure?

As you may have noticed if you've read book 3 chapter 17, I added more detail to the eyes of Vortex and Aurora...and Iggy of course.

I've also tried to make a good reference as to how much Spyro and Cynder have grown, since it has been over 3 years after all. I compared their size to Cyril's specifically because in my mind, Cyril is the smallest of the guardians. Compared to Spyro and Cynder's sizes in DotD, Vortex and Aurora are roughly about a third their size, maybe half. (To be honest, I never considered size comparisons for these stories.)

And when I mentioned the classes, I didn't skip the other classes intentionally. It's just that the other classes are the basic classes that you'd expect (math, language arts, etc.). And besides, I couldn't think of a good name for the Dragon Realm equivalent of those classes. And besides, it was in my class and Spyro and Cynder's class that the interesting things actually happen.

And of course I had to make someone with some kind of issue. This time it was Bolt and her speech impediment.

And what is the deal with Fog?

Please R&R.
