Disclaimer: I don't own anything Spyro or School related everything else yes I own. (Unless something belongs to someone that I don't know about.)
Hello this is Crafty-Boy-FTW with my first story! I just want to say that I will create these stories to my best ability and try to produce stories worth reading. Since this is my first story I wouldn't expect too much but you never know. Anyway without further ado I present to you Where It All Began.

Chapter 1: A normal morning in sinister times
It's not easy telling you where all this began, in fact it's a very long story, but I guess I'll start at the beginning...
A 13 year old boy is lying in his bed nice and comfortable with a smile plastered on his face whatever he was dreaming about it was making him happy. It was all peaceful in the room no noise, no cars going by just silence when all of a sudden 'ding ding ding ding' echoed through the room. The boy's eyes shot open at the sudden noise and scanned the room for danger. He quickly relaxed when he realised it was his alarm clock and groaned as he stretched to turn it off. He sat up and rubbed the sleep from his tired eyes, which seemed to disagree with getting up. The boy glanced at his calendar and sighed "Monday the worst day of the week" he muttered to himself as he got off his bed and started to get ready.
Once he had brushed his teeth, washed his face, got dressed and had breakfast he started to prepare his school bag. "Let's see Maths, English, Science, P.E and Geography, great," the boy said. This boy's name was James and he lived in a normal sized village on the outskirts of London. He had always had an ambition to go on some adventure somewhere, he didn't think that his routine of get up, get ready, go to school, work, come home, sleep was good enough. He wanted to be wild and free but he knew it wouldn't happen, not in this life at least.
James was just about to leave his house when he heard a whisper. He shook it off however thinking his imagination was getting to him and walked out the door saying goodbye to his mum and started walking down the path to the nearest bus stop. He was taking in all the scenes that he usually saw on his way there when he glanced at his watch and his eyes went wide. "What the crap it's 8:05 already," he yelled and his normal relaxed walk turned into a frantic sprint. The final corner before the bus stop came into his view and he started to turn his sprint into a jog. He rounded the corner to be greeted by the bus stop and his good friend George waving at him and gestured for him to hurry up.
James smiled and did as he asked and started to sprint again, as he reached his friend he slowed to a stop and asked "How long have you been waiting," George responded by saying "about 10, 15 minutes. What kept you?"
"I duno probably forgot to change my alarm again."
"You mean you couldn't be bothered to get up when your alarm went off," George added with a smug smile. "Pretty much yeah." Was all he got in reply.
"James, bus is here" George said.
James looked over his shoulder and sure enough the school bus was rounding the corner. "Looks like I made it just in time," James said as he smiled.
"Lucky sod," George said.
"What was that," James asked with an evil look.
"Nothing" George said quickly.
George and James stopped the bus and got on and all they saw where kid shouting and screaming to be heard over all the noise.
The bus ride was the usual boring journey whilst being deafened by rowdy kids, nothing out of the ordinary there but something strange stood out on this journey. James could have sworn that he saw a purple glow. He kept watching the glow until the bus passed it. "Did you see that," he asked.
"See what?" Asked George.
"That purple light in the bushes."
George gave his friend an odd look and asked "you feeling alright?"
James just chuckled and said "Not really."
As the bus pulled up to the school gates James and George sighed at another day at school.

A small ape is running as fast as its legs could take it, it appeared to be carrying some form of note in one hand and a wooden club in the other. The ape came to a stop when he reached his destination and he started to shake nervously. He walked up to a much larger ape, who seemed to be a guard, and said nervously "I have an important message for lord Gaul; I must see him at once." The larger ape just nodded and opened the gate. Just as the smaller ape passed through the gate the large ape said "I'd watch out if I were you, lord Gaul is in a bad mood." As he finished speaking he began to laugh which only made the smaller ape quiver in fear as he took the first steps into the crumbling castle.
The small ape passed through the massive corridors one by one until he came across a rather large door with a sign that read 'Lord Gaul's quarters'. The smaller ape gulped 'this is it' he thought as he knocked on the door. He waited' shaking nervously still. Then a gruff voice almost in a shout said "enter" and the smaller ape did as instructed. As he entered the room he saw sickening sights puddles of blood, body's of his fellow brethren who had not impressed their king and the heads of dragons slain by Gaul himself. He noticed Gaul looking straight at him with a look of impatiens in his eyes. "What have you disturbed me for whelp?" Gaul asked almost ready to kill something.
"I-I have a-an important m-message for y-you my lord," the small ape managed to choke out as he held out the piece of paper to his king. "Give me that!" Gaul quietly said as he snatched the piece of paper out of his minion hands causing the small ape to jump back in surprise. Gaul silently read the note and his expression grew darker and darker as he read the note. When he read the last part of the note he threw it to the side "Grrrrrrrrr" he yelled as he pulled out one of his swords and slashed at the smaller ape. The smaller ape's eyes widened in shock as he saw the blade coming striate at him and then, nothing he was just standing there but, 3 seconds later his neck started to pour blood and then his head slid off squirting blood all the way to the ground. His head had slid off one way whilst his body went the other; collapsing in a puddle of blood.
When Gaul had calmed down he picked up the note again and read it again just in case he read it wrong. The note read 'Lord Gaul this is the general officer commanding the northern region defences. I'm sorry to inform that we have lost are main out posts due to Dragon forces. This outpost was the one that was preventing Dragon forces from reaching are command fort 2 miles south of it. I have to tell you that all ape forces are withdrawing from all northern regions because of this loss. Unfortunately I have more bad news for you, because the Dragon attack was so quick we didn't have enough time to evacuate the command bunker which resulted in the loss of my right-hand man, my attack co-ordinator and two of my captains. I beg for your forgiveness my lord, I had no idea that they were going to attack.
Yours sincerely General Macasive.'
Gaul's rage had built up again by now and he thought 'of course it would be you Macasive you fail me every time. Even with a simple mission, protect the Northern line you still fail me.'
This was a big disaster for the apes because the Northern line was their strongest defence in there army and with it gone the Dragon army would be able to take out there other defences from behind. Even Gaul had to admit the Dragon army made a very good tactical decision.
Gaul thought he had to tell his master this and did so. He walked down a couple of corridors to find his masters door he knocked and waited until he heard a rough 'enter' and pushed open the door. He bowed down as he took a few steps into the room and said "Malfor I have brought bad news you may want to see." Gaul said. Malfor turned around to face Gaul. "Rise" he said and Gaul did so "what bad news have you brought to me Gaul." He asked with agitation in his voice. Gaul explained about the Northern loss and that General Macasive would be punished. "YOU BET HE WILL" growled Malfor causing Gaul to step back a bit. "How do you propose we counter this loss Malfor?" Gaul asked after a long silence. "We can't counter anything with this pathetic excuse for an army of yours we need something to crush the Dragon army in their advance." Malfor replied. Gaul grew angry at Malfor's insult but tried not to show it in case he was killed.
Then Malfor remembered something "I have an idea, follow me," and with Gaul started to follow Malfor. Malfor stopped we he came to a wall he looked back at Gaul and said "watch." Malfor pulled back a brick, twisted it 180 degrees then pushed it back in place. Moments later a small part of the wall slid back and the moved to the side to reveal a secret room. Malfor looked back only to find a wide eyed Gaul. "Come on" he growled as he walked into the room, his growl was enough to make Gaul snap out of his stunned gaze and he quickly stood by Malfor. The room was fairly large but plain as well, there was nothing in the room apart from a very large purple crystal. "What is this Malfor?" Gaul asked puzzled. "This is the thing that is going to win the war." Malfor said plainly. "How exactly is a large purple crystal going to win a war?" Gaul questioned. Malfor sighed and explained how the crystal works "this crystal will transport the most promising young worriers from another world to this world which we have to hope agree to be on our side of the war. There is a down side though the crystal wont transport the worriers here they will transport them somewhere in the world, which is why I need you to tell your men to find them were ever they end up. Can you handle a simple task like that?" Malfor asked the last bit with slight annoyance. Gaul immediately caught the annoyance in Malfor's voice and said "It will be done Malfor." Malfor just nodded and began the process of making the crystal begin its search.

It had been a very long day for George and James they were so relieved to get off the bus home knowing that they could chill for the rest of the day. "My God that took longer than it should!" James exclaimed.
"You're telling me my lessons were much worse than yours." George replied.
"Really you think that art, music, P.E, maths and I.C.T are bad?" James asked disbelieving.
"Well when you put it that way, it does make sense." At this they both laughed and came to a crossroad that leads to their separate houses. "Well I'll see you tomorrow at the bus stop, right?" asked James.
"That you will," George replied and with that they went their separate ways. Night came quickly for James he was just getting ready for bed, when he felt so tired he felt he could fall asleep over the sink. He managed to resist falling asleep until he got into bed once in bed however he was out cold, and unbeknownst to him, he was about to have the strangest night he will ever have.
A/N: wow I got so hooked on this that I went to the two thousand mark :0. The dragon army isn't an army of dragons it's an army of cheetahs and moles who work under the orders of the Guardians. This story is after the Warfang mission in the Legend of Spyro third game except after the mission they don't attack straight away (this will give the story length and give me the chance to set up romances ;). Thank you for reading this so far I promise that it will have more action in the upcoming chapters. This is Crafty-Boy-FTW signing off for today. Peace.
