Do you know how legends are born? Some say they're folklore, some say they're heroic real figures. I'll let you decide on your own.
I used to live a regular human life, I was 14 years old when it happened. I was waking up at 5 in the morning, getting ready for school, however, something felt weird but I couldn't place my finger on it. I looked around and I saw my dog staring at me like it was scared of me, I started walking toward him and he started to bark. "What's wrong Max?" I asked then he started barking even louder crazy dog... I thought. I heard my door opening to see my mom looking horrified, "What have you done to my son!" She yelled I thought she was crazy, I didn't know what she was talking about. I looked at myself and I was speechless, I saw blue scales on my body, large golden wings and lighter blue scales on the inside of the wings, I looked at my hands to see silver claws, I walked right past her and looked in the bathroom mirror I had a reptilian face with golden horns, brown eyes with a white underbelly.
I realized right then and there that I was a dragon, to be honest, I was a little excited but scared at the same time. I heard my mom yell "Some animal broke into my house and ate my son!" I saw that she was on the phone. I thought this was a dream, it had to be, to make sure I rammed my head against the wall, surprisingly it didn't really hurt, but I wasn't dreaming, this was the real deal. I knew my mom called 911 because I heard police sirens from a mile away, I ran to the window and there they were, coming in one by one in the cul de sac. I don't know why but somehow I decided it'd be best to break through the window, I saw the policemen draw their pistols and aim at me, I knew I couldn't stay there any longer so I ran for my life.
I heard my mom yell "There it is! Shoot it!" and next thing you know I'm being covered in bullet holes. I ran through the cul de sac with them still shooting at me, after what felt like an eternity (when in reality it was only a few seconds) I was met with a dead end, a wall that was supporting a freeway. A few seconds later I saw them surround me, there was nowhere to run or hide, I looked at my wings but since I didn't know how to fly, I disregarded it. Frantically I looked left and right but I thought of nothing. On some sort of instinct I raised my wings and took flight, it was a bit of a struggle to keep me up in the air but I managed to rise 50 feet from the ground.
I was a little happy about it but the moment was soon gone when I saw a bullet go right past me, I flew for my life and went little higher before noticing a forest on my left. I decided to hide there in order to recuperate and see how much damage I had taken. Most of the rounds missed me while I was in flight and it seemed that they were out of ammo, I was relieved for a few moments and kept flying for the forest. It's a good thing I did because when I looked back I saw that the policemen were carrying rifles and started firing at me again. Rounds hit my body like crazy, what felt like hundreds of bullets hit my wings and tail, right then my vision started getting a little blurry but I saw that I was closer to the forest. They stopped firing at me so I relaxed a bit, even though I was bleeding uncontrollably and in so much pain. Then I heard another bullet, it was a direct hit to my chest, it went through my heart. I coughed blood and my vision got blurrier.
My strength was completely drained and I crash-landed in the forest, a tree branch hit my wing and somehow managed to rip it, I hit a boulder which broke my front legs and my back legs and landed in a river. At least the river was only a few inches deep, the water was cold and slow moving so blood just flowed right with it. I saw that I was next to a tree which gave me some shade, not that it helped me. "So... this is how my life will end huh..." I told myself, I was scared and started to cry, my vision was so blurry that everything looked like a blob. I closed my eyes, rested my head on the cool water and waited for my death. I heard footsteps, I thought the police found me and were coming to finish me off. I opened my eyes and I saw one purple blob and one black blob, the purple blob came at me faster and said "Cynder over here! Bring a red crystal! Hurry!" I heard the purple one say, I saw the black one go the opposite direction. "Cynder?" I thought "Could it be Spyro and Cynder?..., No it can't be...".
"Okay, try to stay with me! Don't close your eyes! Stay with me!" I heard the purple one urge.
Everything went dark.
