In case you were wondering what happened to book 1, you already read it. What I mean is that "Origin of a Hero" was book 1. I wanted to make the books in this series different from each other in some way. Book 1 was a short story, this book is going to be like the books in The Malefor Chronicles, and book 3 of this series is a surprise. I hope you enjoy book 2.
The Chronicles of Dragonheart Book 2: A Boy Named Dragonheart
Chapter 1: Dragonheart
It was dark, so very dark. Far away, the sound of water dripping onto a stone floor could be heard. Then, a bright light suddenly filled the area, revealing the walls of a cave. In the center of the cave was a large machine. The sound of a young boy screaming in pain filled the cave and the machine started to shudder. The machine exploded, cutting of the young boy's screams and filling the cave with darkness once again.
"What is your name?" asked a voice from the darkness.
"Dragon…heart." said a voice, sounding weak and tired.
"Dragonhe- "
"-art" said a girl's voice, "Dragonheart, you lazy slouch, wake up, class is in ten minutes."
Dragonheart sat up and blinked the sleep from his eyes, going over the events of his dream. That dream has been more and more vivid and frequent since he woke at the Academy three months ago. He remembered nothing of his life before the academy.
"Look I don't want to be late because of you so I'm going to class." said the voice on the other side of a door across from Dragonheart's bed.
Dragonheart climbed out of his bed and walked over to his closet and grabbed a polo from one of the hangers. He didn't like polos, he didn't know why, there was just something about them that bothered him. He grabbed a pair of jeans off of a shelf and, unlike polos, Dragonheart actually liked jeans. He got dressed and dealt with basic body care then left the room. He had exactly five minutes to get to class before he was late, again.

"Glad you're finally awake." said Kat, "I hope you're ready for the tournament next hour."
Kat was a brunet, no older than Dragonheart whom was fourteen. Kat specialized in light weaponry and was light on her feet. Like Dragonheart, Kat wore a polo and jeans.
"Roland is my opponent so I'll probably get creamed within the first few seconds." said Dragonheart.
"Yeah, you got that right bro." said a boy.
"Tom, stop encouraging him to think negatively," said Kat, "he'll never win that way."
Tom was a ginger, shorter than Dragonheart and a year younger. Tom specialized in ranged weapons, being no good with a sword or other close up weapons. Other than Kat, Tom was Dragonheart's only friend at the Academy
"Sorry Kat," said Tom, "but let's face the facts, Dragonheart can't beat Roland."
"I'll be fine, it doesn't matter whether or not I lose," said Dragonheart, "Roland is a tough opponent, but he's a good guy."
"Well, either way, we'll be routing for you." said Kat.
"Thanks." Dragonheart responded.
I hoped you enjoyed chapter 1. As for characters like Spyro and Cynder, don't worry, they're in this story, just later on. I'd also like to emphasize that I have not personally experienced amnesia (but I do suffer from short term memory), so I might get some details incorrect or offend someone who has had to deal with amnesia at some point or another, I'm sorry.
