Prologue: Rise of the King

Unknown Valley, Clearing

Purple eyes force themselves open as light shines onto them, the first sight being of healthy green grass and white daisies. The figure rose up slowy with a yawn before heading to a nearby stream to drink. Head bending down to drink, he blinks as he examines his face in detail.

His face seems to have changed slightly as his purple scales had shift into a wine color with eggplant stripes, small webbing growing from his cheeks and his head fins have also grown more prominant while his horns started curling forward over his skull. Looking at his body, he notice that the color change covers his whole body while his mucles, spinal spikes and tail blade have developed further.

Humming to himself, he dips his head to drink with barely a thought, 'How long have I've been asleep?..I guess it matters not. Once I speak with Cynder, we'll-'

Before he could continue the thought, the purple dragon turns his head. The sound of powerful wingbeats preceed the figure's landing, her black form shimmering in the sunlight as her dark red underbelly and membrane. Noticing her horns and tail blade have gotten sharper, he smiles as she approach him, "Spyro! I'm so glad I found you!"

"What's up Cynder, what's the rush?" a concerned smile dots Spryo's face as he looks at the dragoness.

A tired look fell on Cynder's face as she steps to the side, "I think you should follow me. It's...hard to explain."

Unknown Mountains, Inner Cave System

Spyro's mind look over the multitude of dragons before me, placing a name with scales, horns and eyes. The most terrifying thing is that most, if not all, of the dragons shouldn't exist. Hearing Cynder calling to him, Spyro focus back on the black dragoness, "Sorry Cynder but I do know who they are, I don't know how but I do!"

Turning his head as heavy footfalls approach, Spyro and Cynder focus on four older dragons. As the two give them a bow, the pink male nods to the pair, "Greetings young miss and Spyro. Could you perhaps explain what happened to us?"

"Indeed young ones," a leaner green male look around before rising onto his hind legs, a thoughtful frown on his face, "I know that many of us have been brother here but not why, nor do I recognize this place."

Scrunching his eyes, Spyro remembers his fight with the Sorcerer. After defeating the being, a large portal appeared and began to suck in all of dragonkind. Spyro noticed that the version of him that defeated the Sorcerer and the one that defeated Malefore both look different.

Almost like a lightning bolt, Spyro snaps his head up with wide eyes and a dropped jaw, "When me and Cynder defeated Malefore, the world was about to end. At the same time, I had defeated the Sorcerer in your world and a lot of magic was flying around. So in order to save this world-"

"You fused our two worlds together?" watching as the young purple dragon nods his head, the red elder scratched under his chin with a hum, "That is both disturbing...and impressive! To do such require a rather strong sense of purpose."

As the other three elders agreed, Cynder look to Spyro with panicky eyes, "If our two worlds have fused, then what will happen?" Pacing back and forth, the black dragoness fails to notice as a young pink dragoness walks forward, "And since you have fused with another version of yourself...how different are you from the drake that I have gotten to know and-"

"Cynder, relax," placing a claw on the dragoness's shoulder, Spyro gives her a gentle smile, "while I do have the memories, I'm not going to be exactly like him...he was kind of arrogant." Seeing her smile at him, Spyro pulls closer only to have a horn tugged by a rose claw, "What the...EMBER?"

Standing before the pair was a rose pink dragoness with royal purple head webbing, the tip of her tail ending with a heart shape point. As she smiles at the two, she locks a blue gaze with Cynder's emerald one, "Hello there, my dear. I'm Ember and I was hoping to take some of your time!" Before Cynder could respond, Ember dragged her off with a wave to Spyro.

Unknown Mountains, Mountainside

As the pair of dragoness exit, Ember examines the darker dragoness. Compared to the slimmer female, Ember felt intimidated. Looking at her pudgy stomach, she almost jumps when Cynder spoke first, "Let me guess, you love Spyro."

Knowing that it wasn't a question, Ember looked on with sad eyes. Turning back to Cynder, Ember lets her tail curl by her feet, "The Spyro I knew was brave, eager and kind. While he was arrogant and never cautious, he was a good friend."

Looking at the pink dragoness, Cynder sighs softly before stalking over to Ember. Feeling the other dragoness behind her, Ember ducks her head as Cynder bites on the base of the rose dragoness's neck. The bite wasn't hard, earning a squeak from the slightly smaller dragoness. Shivering as Cynder nips at her spines, Ember focus an eye on the black dragoness, "Wh-What are you-"

"Don't worry too much, besides," lifting Ember's chin up, Cynder gives the flushed Ember a seductive smile, "I'm not against sharing." Walking away from the shocked dragoness, Cynder heads back into the cave system. Knowing and hearing as Ember follows close behind, the smile on Cynder's face swiftly drops for one of shock as the two dragoness hears the next four words.

"ALL HAIL, KING SPYRO!"

Unknown Mountains, Inner Cave System (During the discussion)

Almost as soon as Cynder and Ember left, every single dragon began yelling. From corner to corner, the self-proclaimed unity that these dragons had was swiftly broken.

Turning to the elders, Spyro watch as they spoke quietly about the situation instead of calming everyone down. Time seems to slow to a stop as color fades away. Looking around worriedly, the purple dragon barely has time to blink as he's whisked away. Swiftly shifting into a combative stance, Spyro prepares to breathe fire at his kidnapper when he realized who it was.

The first figure filled him with a small amount of fear and rage, for it could only be Malefor: from the dark purple scales, the red horns on his head and the jagged tip on his tail.

The second one however brought the young dragon a sense of relief. No matter if his once red scales has become a soft blue or that his eyes are no longer the powerful fire like orange, there was no doubt in his mind that Ignitus stood before him.

Looking between the two dragons, Spyro shifts from side to side nervously, "Wh-What in th-, why are you...what's going on?! Is there a reason for you to visit me?"

"Spyro, you must listen to what we have to say," Ignitus strides forward, a frown crossed over his muzzle while Malefor snarls at something out of sight, "this new land that you and these other dragons you've found yourselves is different from your old home and the order between light and darkness is dangerously unbalance."

The older purple dragon steps closer to Spyro, rolling his eyes when the youth threatens him with lightning, "We'll do what we can to protect everyone but we can only touch the ethereal. It's up to you to help dragonkind from the physical."

"And how can I do that when they're too busy bickering amongst themselves like sheeps? What must I do to preserve our race?" seeing the look on both of the two dragons' face, Spyro frowns thoughtfully as the pair starts to flicker away. Watching as the two flew off, he could just notice them heading towards a large creature that looks in the cusp of insanity before finding himself back in the cave.

Before Spyro could speak, the arguments stops as two elder dragons lunge at one another with loud roars. In a display of pure savagery, the fire dragon bit into stomach of the slightly slender ice dragon. Meanwhile, the ice dragon sunk his claws into the flank of the fire dragon. Blood oozing from their forms, the two dragon thrash about in a display of claws and fangs.

The terrifying sight almost cause Spyro to hesitate but the frightened chirps of the nearby hatchlings snaps him out and caused him to act. As the pair of dragons ready to lunge, Spyro shot forward like a bot of lightning with a snarl on his lips. Pinning the fire dragon's head, Spyro roars in the face of the ice dragon before biting onto his horn. Throwing the ice dragon away, Spyro turns to the surprised gathering with a growl, "Listen up everyone, cause I'm only going to say this once!"

"Do you truly think that we can break apart in these unknown lands? That we are divided and have nothing to lose? WE HAVE EVERYTHING TO LOSE!" uncaring as many of the other dragons flinch back, Spyro walks forward. Looking at the elders, he notice their looks of consideration before focusing on the gathered group, "Look around and what do you see? I see a future waiting to rise! Never before has adversity defeated dragonkind! When Gnasty Gnorc froze you or when the Sorceress stole our eggs, did we fall to the pressure? NO!"

Jumping to a nearby ledge, the purple dragon notice as a few of the older dragons shift to stand a little straighter. Looking over them all, Spyro let a puff of smoke escape his nostril, "So what will you do?! Will you sit on your flanks, whining about how life is unfair? Do you choose to roll over and wait for death? Or will you be dragons and fight?! to survive and thrive no matter what! What say you?!"

Panting as he ends his rant, Spyro prepares to walk away only to snap his head around as the nass began chanting. Jaw dropping in shock, he could only groan as the chanting repeated, "ALL HAIL, KING SPYRO!"

Cringing as even the youth joined the chanting, Spyro turn just in time to see the confused expression of Ember and the amused one of Cynder, "Umm...I can explain?"

I know that you're all probably thinking, 'Why is Cynder letting Ember jump her man like this?' Here's why, are you ready...dragons aren't humans! Sure, those shown in shows act like humans but I'm going for a more animalistic repressentation! So if you see multiple dragonesses or dragons paired in something like a harem, that's why. Spyro is a powerful dragon, thus he attracts more than one female.

On the other hand, Flame is likely only to have one mate. I plan on Spyro to have three or four mates...there's a method to my madness, you'll see! Well, until next time: this is DracoTitan saying to keep being awesome!
