A/N:Hay anyone who might be reading this. I don't know what made me finally decide to do it but I'm writing my first fanfic. it's about a very talented human who is drug into Spyro's world about a year after Malefore dies. His reasons for being there are unknown but as he learns more he begins to find out that he actually belongs there. I've thought about this for a while and I'm gonna begin the story in Nathan's perspective so it may seem weird at first just bear with me OK. ( I've done some work to this chapter because the way I wrote it kinda sucks so if you already tried to read and couldn't try again please.)
Disclaimer: I own practically nothing in this story and it's being written only for entertainment. no profit is being made and I only own my character Nathan in this story so far.
Warning: this story is rated M for a reason so if your offended by anything violent or ANY other forms of Adult content then by all means please don't read. otherwise please enjoy. =P
Chapter 1:
I wake up only to find myself in the middle of a charred burning forest, as I look around it appeared that I was the source of the fire, if that's possible. As I scan the area further, I cant help but to admire my new body. I seem to be a red dragon with a golden, yellow lightning bolt going down all four legs, yellow underbelly, and a scythe like tail-blade.
As I begin to scan the area further and the smoke begins to clear, I come across another dragon with similar features to me only he is purple and has a club like tail blade with no lightning bolts.
After several frustrating attempts to stand and this dragon still staring me down I began to get annoyed. so I finally stand and walk over to the dragon who in turn begins to crawl away, only sparking the fire that had built up inside of me.
I step on the dragon's tail and say,
"WHERE THE HELL AM I?" His only reply to this is a shocked look followed by
"Y-you mean you don't know"
"No, I don't, don't make me ask again"
"Well your in Warfang and I know what you're going through but you don't have to be such a jerk"
I didn't exactly know what he was talking about by what I'm going through but I ignored it and apologized.
"I'm sorry it's just, I don't belong here"
"what do you mean"
"Ha ha I must be dreaming, I mean I'm talking to a dragon and I'm in a strange world..."
"Don't forget you are a dragon" he finishes and smiles
"this isnt a dream is it" I ask
"no it isn't" he laughs "my names Spyro and if you don't mind me asking, who are you, and where do you belong?"
I sigh and stare at the dragon
Nathans past
"My name is Nathan, I'm a dragon now obviously, but before this I was a human. Basically a two-legged, 6 ft, person who most of the time only care for themselves, however on rare occasions you run into someone like me, who cares for others and wants something better for others. I grew up with almost no memory of my real parents because an evil man set out and killed them for money, however when he seen me and didn't have the heart to kill me, he took me with him. He trained me to fight and be strong and never give up and always fight back, but to never fight unless it was absolutely necessary. You may ask why I didn't try to run but that's the thing, I did run and I hid but he always found my before i even got to the bottom of that damned hill. He trained me to fight and we even spared and he would always tell me if I can manage to kill him then I was free to go, but no matter how much I learned or how he was always one step ahead of me. I never did avenge my parents deaths and now, I never will."
"Wow" Spyro says " that's really some story, so the killer of your parents became your master and you had no choice in the matter?"
"Pretty much, yeah." I replied and looked to the ground as I reflected on my life.
"Well you wanna hear my story?"
"Why not?" I replied almost uninterested but listen anyways as Spyro explains his time in the swamp believing he was a dragonfly to when him and Cynder killed Malefore.
"So you thought you were a dragonfly and you fall in love with the dragon you save from the darkness."
"Well when you put it like that it..." "sounds more like a fairytale then a reality" I finish hardly able to hold back my laughter.
Spyro laughs with me and we laugh for a while.
"Well that fairytale isn't over yet and maybe your part of it"
"What do you mean?" I asked confused
"Ill explain on the way common, the smell of smoke is starting to give me a headache."
I followed Spyro into town and he begins to explain why he wanted me to follow him.
"alright so you know Cynder is my mate right" he asks and i nod my head. "well our anniversary is coming up and I want to get her something perfect and I was hoping you could help me out." I smile and reply "sure id love to help." so me and Spyro go to several jewelry venders throughout Warfang, I point out several different rings and necklaces but he always shoots me down by saying "no its no good enough" or "its gotta be perfect" eventually i got fed up and said "OK Spyro! its obvious we aren't going to find what you're looking for at just any vendor, so why don't we just go to a blacksmith." he looks at me doubtfully and says "are you sure I mean they usually only make armor and weapons." I smile "if hes a good blacksmith all he needs is the right materials and they can make anything." "alright then let's go." he replies
we then head toward what Spyro referred to as the temple, he said this may take a while and he wanted to make it back before curfew so we went to the blacksmith closest to the temple. when we got there we walked in and to our surprise a female voice calls out
"howdy boys, what can I do you two strong men for this time a new plate of shiny metal armor or maybe your just lookin' fer a good ti..."
I cut her off by saying "actually we are here for a gift he has something special in mind but we cant find anything like it anywhere we were hoping you could help."
she smiles and walks up to Spyro real slow and begins to rub her body against his. "so you got something special in mind for a special dragon do you?"
"Y-yes and id uh prefer if you didn't do that"
"Oh your no fun, al'ight well can you explain just what tis you want?"
Spyro looks at her surprised "you mean you can do it"
"You darn tutan I can common im sure you don' want your friend to ru'n the surprise" she says and drags him into the back room
Spyro stares at me and mouths "help me"
I simply laugh and say to myself "I didnt know there were flirty hillbillies here too."
After several hours of waiting I grow impatient and start to head for the door right as Spyro comes out with a look saying it all, he was pissed I didn't follow them in there.
The girl smiles and says "now you come back any time you here?" I turn to Spyro and smile "so how'dit go"
Spyro stares me down and then replies "I don't want to talk about it" I smile
"oh common, did you at least get what you wanted her to make?"
Spyro looks away "Ya"
"thats good how much it cost you?"
"300 gems"
"and that's a lot right?"
"ya its a good bit"
"in otherword its a whole hell of a lot."
"whatever lets just go, it's after curfew so we have to fly to get in, please tell me you know how to fly"
I simply smile and stare at him awkwardly
"Thats great well then grab my paw"
I grab his paw and he lifts me into the air and begins to fly skyward
"Uh spyro, the temples that way"
"I know we aren't going there until you know how to fly"
I looked down to the now distant ground then hesitantly back to Spyro and ask "And, how exactly are we going to do that?"
"By forcing you to learn"he then stops and begin to hover
"You wouldnt" I say to Spyro as I look to the ground
Spyro nods and replies "have fun"
"wait spyro no"
"Whoops" he says before letting go and sending me plunging to the ground
"DAMN YOU SPYROOO!" i yell as i plummet to the earth
"Just open your wing and glide, the rest will come naturelly" he yelled back
I never thought I would see myself like this but for the first time since my parents died I actually began to cry out for someone to help me. however to little avail as the only one who was listening was the now worried purple dragon hovering above me. then I begin to hear a familiar voice but I couldn't quite tell whose voice it was but it said
"Young dragon, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and empty you mind. Now feel the power of your ancestors coursing through your body, in times of crisis they will come to you and teach you, unlocking powers you never knew you had, just forget everything you ever thought you knew, forget yourself. Only through forgetting will you remember what you ancient blood already knows, you can fly"
At that moment all my worries were gone, I spread my wings and glided to the ground where I quickly shot myself back into the air and began to fly.
"I knew you could do it!" spyro yells out to me
I was at the time to happy to care however as I began doing and spinning and doing corkscrews, I was having so much fun, you never realize how fun it really is until you do these things yourself.
"Nathan, you do remember we have to get back to the temple now, right?"
"Right hehe sorry" i reply rubbing the back of my head "Well lets go then we have to go in through your room right so which one is it?"
"Its that one there" he replies as he points to the third floor room with the window open
"Alright, race ya" then I took off toward the room
"wait don't scare Cynder she's not good with strangers" However I didn't hear him as I catapulted into the room
A female shriek is heard probably all across Warfang as a black dragoness jumps at me my first reaction triggered and i spun and used my tail to trip her then grabbed her by the neck and pined her to the ground my tail blade at her head ready to take the kill.
"WAIT NATHAN THAT'S CYNDER!"
"Thats great then why the hell is she attacking me"
Cynder answers this time still pined to the floor "I don't know maybe a dragon I've never seen before just jumped through my window like he was ready to attack me or something"
"He he sorry about that why don't we start over. names Nathan nice to meet ya" I reply as I let off of her and reach out my paw to help her up.
she grabs my paw and says Cynder and its nice to meet you but why are you here?"
This time Spyro answers "He dosent have anywhere else to go and its only for tonight, tomorrow we'll talk to the guardians about getting him his own room"
"Alright but if you don't mind me asking where are you from?"
I look to the ground and Spyro answers for me "Cynder that's a touchy subject ill tell you later ok"
"Alright, im sorry"
"dont worry about it you got any place I can sleep for the night?" i smile trying to change the subject
"Uh hay Spyro don't we have some old sheets in the closet somewhere?"
"ya i think we do ill go get them." he then leaves up the stairs to find the bed
"So nathan huh weird name for a dragon" cynder says trying to start a conversation
"ya" i reply
"But then again so is Spyro hehe"
I smile "ya did he get that name from when he was a dragonfly" then me and Cynder both burst out laughing
"He told you about that?" she laughs
"Ya, he pretty much told me everything"
Cynder's face suddenly drops to a serious one
"What do you mean everythin"
"Well he told me about his adventures, you know saving you, saving you again and defeating mealefor"
"Did he say anything about us"
"Well..."i reply before Spyro rushes over from the staircase and loudly yells out
"WELL I FOUND THE SPARE BED!" he then returns his voice to normal and says "this will be your bed for the night you can sleep over in the corner or you can go upstairs"
"Thats alright it's already down here so go ahead and just put it in the corner"
"Alright"
Cynder looks at me with a disappointed look probably because her interrogation was cut short but none the less she changed the topic.
"So where did you learn to defend yourself like that?"
"You mean when I came in and you attacked me" I replied smiling.
"Ya, that's what I mean." she laughed.
"Well" I say completely serious "to tell you the truth it just came naturally"
She stared at me for a second before replying "You do know who I am right"
"Ya I know perfectly well"
"Then you know I was trained by both the guardians and Malefore himself to be vicious and quick"
"Ok so what"
"So there is no way you did what you did out of instinct, that's an evil and deadly attack and it caught me off guard, something that when you're talking about me and Spyro; rarely happens"
"So what are you getting at"
"I want to know who taught you to move like that"
"ive already told that story once today, its nothing against you id just rather not talk about it again. Spyro knows the story ask him." I tell her as I look to the ground Cynder looks to Spyro who looks to me.
I nod my head and he proceeds to tell Cynder the story I told him without missing a beat. By the time Spyro was done explaining the story I had set up my bed and Cynder walks over to talk to me
"I'm sorry, I didn't..."
"You don't have to be sorry for anything"
"but, I accused you of...
"I know who you thought I might have been but I can assure you I am no spy, and I don't have any idea why I'm here so don't ask"
Cynder remains quiet
"Im sorry im being a bit of a dick it's just, even before this, i never talked about my past and every time it was brought up..."
I look down to my bed "Never mind" I then lie down and curl up facing the wall "Goodnight Cyn"
Cynder sighs "Goodnight Nathan"
'that name really does sound funny but why' i think to myself
Cynder walks over to her bed where Spyro has already fallen asleep, she then looks over at me, sighs and gets in bed and all except for me fall asleep.
A/N: I hope you all like it so far if you don't understand some things and I know there are a lot of questions they will all be answered... eventually XD but in the mean time just bear with me OK and please if you read this R and R I want to know how many people are reading it and if you like it. like I said this is my first fanfic ever, I've been here a while and I've been thinking about it. I think it's a good story, but I want your opinions should I continue or not thanks and please R and R. ( I hope this revision helps a little bit, if not I might just rewrite it, but either way,. Until next time)
