Under The Moonlight (A Legend of Spyro fic)
I do not own 'Legend of Spyro' or any of its' characters. I'm just doing what I love for no reason at all except enjoyment.
A/N: So, I posted a pic of my Legend of Spyro OC Luna's parents but never really delved too much into the other aspects of their relationship, such as when/how they met, fell in love, and then gotten married despite what others had said about how wrong it was. So, I figured it was time to do just that. It won't be terribly long, but just enough to give you a sort of perspective on their marriage and Luna's birth. Anyway, no more senseless yapping, on with the fic! Also, check out my DA page to find a picture of Luna's parents as well as her egg!
Summary: In a time of peace, the Chronicler had come across a new and completely different prophecy from many years beforehand: 'A Dragon of two different worlds will be born into this one'. How will this prophecy affect the current residents of Avalar, and how do the Forest Prince/Dragon Princess tie into this prophecy?
Ch1- The Prophecy
The moon had risen and gently hung in the sky, bathing everything in a silver-blue glow. Every creature, including the dragons, lay sleeping in their homes. The land of Avalar was truly at peace ever since Malefor had been driven into the portal of Convexity and banished from the land for seemingly all of time.
However, only one dragon was still awake at this time of night…it was the Chronicler, the oldest and wisest dragon that had lived since the Dragon King Igniculus. He was currently tearing through books and scrolls, turning the once clean and tidy Library of Eternal Knowledge into a passable imitation of a teenager's bedroom during cram sessions.
He just didn't understand it, just what exactly what were the events being depicted foretelling? He nervously looked back at the prophecy that had appeared in the Pool of Visions. Nowadays, prophecies foretold by the Elders and Guardians weren't taken as seriously as they were many years ago. This one, however, had the Chronicler worried…what did it all mean? And just how did it involve the Stag Prince as well as Icyria's daughter?
There was no denying it, the evidence was right there in the scroll that had risen out of the water and was now laying open upon the Chronicler's desk.
'A Dragon of two different worlds shall be born into this one.'
He had no other options, no other way out of this situation…he would have to inform the parents of those involved.
He prayed to the Guardians to give him the strength to do this.
"On the morn, the world will be forever changed as we know it. I just wish I'd had more time to delve into it better and find out what sort of sign this could be."
The Chronicler finally retreated to his bedroom to get some sleep, he had a long day ahead of him when the sun came up.
(Next day)
The sun had risen up over the whole of the peaceful land of Avalar. Every creature was awake and going about their business, even the dragons were awake by this point. Some were training, others were off playing, and the older dragons were taking care of anything that was urgent or pressing.
Icyria was currently in a meeting with the Elders and his Generals. They were discussing what should be done about Dante's Freezer, and it was getting quite loud as arguments and insults were being hurled like fireballs. It was enough to give him a migraine, and he wasn't sure how much more he could handle before he froze everything solid. He may not be as young as some of his Generals, but he was still in every right the Frost-Body Monarch.
It looked like the fighting would only escalate until a dragon named Eryxx slammed his tail onto the ground, creating a rift that split the table in two, anger flowing out of him in waves as he trained his copper-gold eyes on everyone in the room before speaking in an agitated tone that nearly had everyone shivering in fear of the seriousness of his words.
"Would all of you old bags of bones just shut the fuck up!? Icyria wishes to address his decision on the matter, and yet you're all acting like immature hatchlings! Please continue, Head Counselor Icyria."
Icyria was forever grateful for the young dragon's interference before things got worse, and spoke to everyone in the meeting room as if Eryxx's little outburst hadn't just happened.
"Thank you, Eryxx. Now then, as of this moment forward, Dante's Freezer will be used strictly as a training ground. Any other entry for any reason is forbidden unless it is of the utmost importance. This meeting is adjourned, thank you all for coming."
As the dragons all filed out of the room, Icyria went back to the temple where he laid eyes upon a sight that instantly calmed his spirits. His mate, Jacoura, was training their daughter Sylpharia in the art of Water manipulation. She was the first Water dragoness to come along in years, and many believed her to be a descendant of Aquarius, but that was unlikely. Even so, it still warmed his heart at how far his life had progressed. Jacoura seemed to sense her husband's presence, because she told their daughter to go wash up for dinner as she embraced Icyria in a loving hug.
"Welcome home, dearest. How was the meeting?"
"It was just dreadful. But everything in the case of Dante's Freezer has been resolved, and we can rest easy for the night. Tomorrow, we'll be busy all day."
"Ah yes, it's Sylpharia's 12th birthday. We have a lot to do tomorrow, and the Forest King will be bringing his son with him won't he?"
Icyria then looked away with a troubled expression on his face.
"Icyria, is something wrong?"
"No, it's not wrong exactly…it's just something the Chronicler told me before the meeting."
"Well, what did he say to you?"
"He spoke of a prophecy…and that it involves our daughter."
"But what could he-"
"Mom, dad? Is something the matter?"
The two dragons then looked down at their daughter, and decided to finish the discussion later.
"No dear, nothing's wrong. Now then, let's go have dinner…right Icyria?"
Icyria then looked to his family and smiled at them as he gently nuzzled his daughter before speaking again.
"Yes, let's all have a bite and let our troubles ease away."
Sylpharia ran ahead as her parents followed behind her happily, none of them even remotely aware of the true meaning behind the Chronicler's prophecy, or of how it would affect them all.
(Next day)
The whole temple was alive with activity as gifts were piled high in one corner while guests would mingle about and swap stories in another. There was also a rather large banquet table set out for everyone to have something to eat. Sylpharia, however, had grown bored after the first hour of greeting and gift giving, so she snuck off when everyone's backs were turned as she stepped out into the courtyard.
The cool wind felt wonderful on her skin and beneath her wings. Without even realizing, she'd spread her wings and gently fluttered down…until the wind stopped and she fell out of the sky like a bag of sand…right on top of someone else that she didn't even notice was there until she sat up and heard a grunt as well as a voice beneath her.
"Ouch, that landing really hurt!"
"Um, I think technically it's called crashing. Do you mind?"
Sylpharia looked down at the source of the voice, only to stare into emerald green eyes that seemed to light up in amusement.
"Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you…are you ok?"
Sylpharia got off of the boy underneath her and finally got a chance to really look at him…and she knew she'd be lying if she had said that she didn't like what she saw. He was light brown with touches of chocolate brown thrown in. She could tell right away that he was a young buck, he only looked about a year or two older than her if his budding antlers were any indication. He also had a light sand-cream underbelly with light tan hooves, and was only a few inches taller than her. No question, he was really cute and Sylpharia just knew that he'd be really handsome when he grew up.
But right now, she felt an introduction was in order at the moment.
"My name's Sylpharia."
"I know, you're the Princess whose birthday is being celebrated. I'm Telna, the Forest Prince. It's very nice to meet you, Sylpharia." He said as he extended his hoof in the gesture of a handshake.
"Same to you, Telna. I hope you enjoy yourself today, as well as the party." Sylpharia said as she gently shook his hoof in her hand. They didn't have much time to get acquainted further as Telna's father, Solomon had shown up and found them talking to each other.
"So this is where you ended up, Telna. And you must be Princess Sylpharia, I'm so glad that you two are getting along really well…Happy birthday by the way, little Princess. Come along Telna, we have other guests to greet."
Telna followed alongside his father as he looked back at Sylpharia, who smiled at him sadly as she watched them walk off. For some reason, it upset him to see that look on her face as he also smiled back at her. What they didn't know, was that they'd be seeing more of each other in the coming days.
T.B.C.- Well now, that's a fun way to get to know your future husband, even if you don't realize it yet that that's what you two will become- husband and wife. Anyway, keep cool and wait for the next chapter!
