This is my first story, I've had this idea in my head for some time now, so tell me how you like it and how I should improve. I plan on making this into a series so any advice at all would be appreciated.
A little side note Ignitus is still alive and not the Chronicler for those of you who played the game. Also if you haven't read I do not use names of people I know. I do not own Spyro or any other characters however I do own Owen, Jasmine, and Nexus.
Enjoy!

Chapter 1: The awakening
It has been one year since Spyro and Cynder have defeated the Dark Master Malifor and the land started to heal itself from the destruction brought upon it.
Spyro and Cynder have now reached the age of fifteen and are the sole protectors of the land that now has found a state of peace. But like all things this cannot last, for when Spyro used his powers to stop the worlds destruction the ancient seals that kept the connections between the magic realm closed from other worlds has now been broken. One world in particular has a stronger connection with the magic realm than any other, Earth, and on this planet an ancient evil was sealed from the magic realm when Earth was nothing more than a primitive world with no hope of life. But now the bonds have been broken, the evil has been awakened, and there is only one thing he wants. Revenge on the realm and any of those still alive that sealed him away.
"Where am I? It doesn't matter the only thing that does is that I'm free and the ones who sealed me will pay." the ancient evil said walking away from his seal, "I swear that they will fall by my hand, by the hand of Nexus!" , then a sphere of dark energy surrounded Nexus and exploded in every direction destroying the tomb that once sealed him. "Now to find out were the hell I am and how to get back to the magic realm."

In the magic realm the dragon elders are all gathered in the vision pool room, Ignitus looking into the vision pool.
"What do you see Ignitus?" asked Terador looking at Ignitus.
"Yes yes do tell us the anticipation is killing me." Cyril said tapping his tail impatiently.
"I am afraid that it is beyond my understanding. I have never seen anything like this before." Ignitus said with a grim look on his face.
"Well lets start with you telling us what you've seen then we will formulate a hypothesis based on the information that you have provided." Volteer said at an unbelievably fast rate.
"I see, the dead moving, walking, marching to the temple. They are lead by a shady figure with piercing red eyes, he seems to be suspended by some sort of dark magic. They are at the temple now, they are trying to get in, all goes dark." Ignitus saying in a hypnotic tone.
All the elders have grim looks on there faces now. "Do, do you see anything else?" asked Terador urgently, there was a pause.
"No, just darkness. Wait," then Cyril, Volteer, and Terador all look up at Ignitus, "I see a light, it is cutting though the darkness. There is something in the light, it looks like a human wait maybe an elf. The dead are turning away and the leader is wailing in pain, he's dead. The figure is walking to me he's saying something, 'Find me, find me.' " Ignitus pauses and looks up to see the other elders, but he does not, just light surrounded by darkness.
"You can stop with that now Ignitus, they can't hear you." the figure says obviously a teenage males voice.
Ignitus a little startled says, "You mean you can see and hear me?"
"Yes now listen closely find me and the girl and train them but careful for one will escape but will return." the figure says stepping closer to Ignitus.
"How and where will I find you?" said Ignitus trying to get a look at the figures face but couldn't because he had a hood that covered it. All Ignitus could make out was his mouth.
The figure smiled, "You will not find me in this realm, you find me in another, on a planet called Earth."
Ignitus's eyes widened, "That's impossible the magic realm has been sealed for eons how could it be broken and what do you mean by one will escape?"
"My time is growing short with you now. I realize you have questions but all will become clear soon enough. In the mean time find me and the girl, you will find us in Harrisville, Michigan." the figure started to turn to leave.
Ignitus paused and thought about what he just heard then saw the figure starting to leave and said, "Wait. Your name, what is your name and the girls."
The figure turns and pulls back his hood to reveal a sixteen or so face with dark blond hair and green eyes, "I have many names but you will know me as Owen and the girl is Jasmine." Owen turns again and continues walking then stops, "I almost forgot you'll need this." Owen then tosses a book to Ignitus who then catches it with his right arm. "Be careful it's a long fall down." Owen smiles then starts walking away again waving his hand and says, "See you soon, sooner than you think and don't talk about what transpired hear with me until you think I'm ready. Tell the other elders that to." Owen then fades and leaves Ignitus in the dark.
Ignitus then looks around and says, "Now how to I get back." no sooner said, the ground gave way from underneath him sending him plummeting to the void below. Ignitus then instinctively opens up his wings to fly but finds that they are immovable. "This is not good." Ignitus then sees the temple below him coming up fast and crashes into the vision pool room and lands on his body with the elders around him. He then jolts up and finds himself on the ground with the elders around him.
"Ignitus are you alright?" asked Terador with the same concerned face as the other two elders, "You passed out while telling us about the figure in the light."
Just then Spyro and Cynder come in with great haste Cynder saying, "We got the medicine you wanted Volteer."
"I apologize but I don't think we will be needing the remedies that I requested from you two earlier." said Volteer gesturing to the now conscious Ignitus.
Spyro's face instantly brightened followed by a cheerful, "Ignitus your alright." the purple dragon moved closer, "We were worried that something terrible happened to…" Spyro paused looking at the book at Ignitus's feet that was not there when he and Cynder left to get medicine. "Ignitus where did you get that book?"
Ignitus then picked up the book, it read "Portal Conjuring", "I think it would make more sense if I told you what happened while I was unconscious." Ignitus then told everyone what happened but made it sound like he saw events happen rather than a conversation, I will explain to the other elders what really happened but I think it is better that Spyro and Cynder don't know what really happened, Ignitus thought. "That is what happened, now its late and you two," looking at Spyro and Cynder, "have to go to bed, its late and we may need you two for opening the portal."
Spyro and Cynder realizing how late it was, both said, "Alright, night." then they both started going to their rooms.
Cynder then asked, "Spyro, do you really think that there is a new threat arising?"
"I don't know but from what Ignitus said this Owen or whoever he is sounds strong and might be a powerful ally to have." said Spyro deep in thought, A new threat to the land, and just when I thought it was over…will it ever be over.
"You are probably right besides, it will be good to have another girl around the temple." she smiled then went to her room.
Spyro smiled back and said, "Good night." and went to his room. In his room he found Sparx asleep on a branch growing though the wall and then went to his nest and thought to himself, Another girl around the temple, and not just that another guy. I wonder what they will be like and what their world is like. He then shortly fell asleep after that.

Back in the vision pool room Ignitus was explaining what really happened and why he kept the truth from Spyro and Cynder.
"Do you really think that Spyro and Cynder will get involved Ignitus?" asked Terador.
"I have no doubt that they will get involved but that is not why I kept the truth from them. The reason I kept it from them is because there is a high possibility that they will become friends with Owen and Jasmine and I don't want to risk Owen finding about this before he is ready." said Ignitus almost ashamed that he did what he did.
"I think its for the best." said Volteer now reading the book Ignitus received from Owen, "In the mean time we should get this portal open, I will study the contents of this book." Volteer sounded troubled while reading the book.
"Is there something wrong old chap?" asked Cyril.
"No there is nothing wrong it is just that it looks that the previous owner of this book left some notes, look." the elders looked on the page it was open to, the notes on it read "Earth" circling coordinates with arrows pointing to "Earth" it was the same thing with "Michigan" and "Harrisville" with different coordinates for each and a in bold "MAKE SURE TO OPEN THE PORTAL EXACTLY WHEN THE SUN IS DIRECTLLY OVER THE TEMPLE TOMORROW, yes this is a message to the elders Ignitus, Cyril, Volteer, and Terador not someone else. From, Owen P.S. Do not show me this book until after you tell me about your vision Ignitus."
"What do you think Ignitus it just seems to convent." said Terador.
"Yes it does but if this boy really is our only hope we have to go with it. We should all get some rest now, at least tomorrow will be exciting." said Ignitus in a sarcastic tone.

On Earth Nexus made his way into a city trying to find some way to get back to the magic realm or a least to find one of those who sealed him. Everywhere he went everyone stared at him, he then stopped at a pool of water and looked into it. He saw himself, he was a tall man about 6' 5" in his late twenties with pail skin, red eyes, a well built body, and black hair that went to his shoulders. I haven't aged a day, he thought in his mind. He then walked up to a man and asked in a menacing tone, "Where the hell am I and were are those who imprisoned me!"
The man stared at him blankly and said, "Señor yo no le puedo comprender yo sólo hablo español." (Sir I can't understand you I only speak Spanish)
Enraged Nexus Picked up the man with one hand into the air exclaiming, "You better tell me or it will be your life." Nexus then held his free hand out and his skin began to crawl by his palm and a sword made from bone extended and he held it in his hand and up to the mans chest. People started to scream and running when the bone sword came from Nexus's hand. "you have to three to tell me, one."
The man now held in the air mouth open and eyes wide said, "Por favor, no señor yo no quiero morir." (Please no sir I don't want to die.)
"Two" slowly pushing the sword into the mans body without braking the skin.
The man now crying, "Por favor no me mates tengo una esposa e hijos." (Please don't kill me I have a wife and kids.)
"Tree times up." Nexus stabs the sword trough the mans chest and out the other side, the man dies a few seconds later. He let the man slide off his sword and onto the ground, he then waved his hand over the dead mans body ignoring the screaming and shouting people around him, "Now lets try this again where am I and where are the ones who imprisoned me." Nexus said in a calm tone.
The dead mans eyes slowly opened showing only white eyeballs and got up. "You are in Mexico on Planet Earth and the ones who have imprisoned you are not hear." the man said in the language of the dead.
"Earth, you have served your purpose now be gone." Nexus waved his hand again towards the undead man and the man collapsed gasping, a few seconds latter and died again. "Now to get out of this place and back to the magic realm." Nexus turned and summoned his dark energy flying into the air and propelled himself northeast, to the only place that could get him back to the magic realm.
