Look Before You Leap
Prologue: There's and old Saying
Earth (where all the fun starts)
Blake Grey smiled as he looked out his grandfathers old pick up trucks open window. This was the best time of the year, it was summer which meant no school stuff to bring him down and that he was on his way to the most peaceful place he knew of for the next two months his grandparents house in Salt Springs BC.
It belonged to his only living grandparents, his Grandmother May Grey a former secretary and his Grandfather Nick Grey former farmer, carpenter and boxer.
Ever since he was five Blake had found refuge from his brother and sister at the old house, they didn't see the point of going there since it was either to far way from the nearest mall or no had net connection were the normal complaints. It was their he'd learned the things even his father had forgotten, but mainly one of his few talents, Boxing. Grandpa Nick still had a lot of good punches in him but that had been some years ago and now Blake just used the bag Nick had set up for him in the basement.
Running a hand through his golden brown hair, Blake missed it being long enough to cover his eyes but part of going to the house was a shave and a haircut, May and Nick raised no hippies.
"You keep'en out of trouble Blake?" Came Grandpa Nick's old voice drawing Blake out of his thoughts.
"As much as I can Grandpa Nick." Was the reply, it was always Grandpa Nick and Grandma May with his Grandparents. Yet Grandpa Nick did have a point in asking, ten years back he'd almost knocked his little brother Leo's teeth out for breaking a playstation game disk. He'd been so pissed off back then since it had been his favorite game, and it still had a place in his heart to date, of course when he came back home mom had replaced the game saying his little brother had felt so bad he got Blake a new one. That copy of the game and all the playstation one stuff was now at the grandparents house after Blake saving it from being thrown out in favor of a playstation two. Yet since then Grandpa Nick always checked if he was staying out of trouble before getting to the house.
"Where almost at the house, but you probably already knew that, Mays cooking up some chicken and potato's, so unpack your things and will call you when dinners ready." Grandpa Nick said bringing the truck to a stop in front of the large two-story house.
The house was mainly constructed with brick and concrete but all the outer wood was painted a sandy brown. A large cut grass lawn met a wooden staircase, which led to the door.
Leaving the truck Blake enjoyed his first brief moment of total peace before grabbing a black bag from the back of the pickup and following Grandpa Nick into the house.
The moment the door opened both of them where struck by the amazing. smell that only came from a home cooked meal done right. Slight noise from a TV from the kitchen was all Blake heard. Wiping his pair of worn black runners he quickly checked himself in the entrance mirror, now Blake love Grandma May but she give him a total chewing out if he was a mess entering her home.
Straitening his favorite forest camo jacket and dusting off his blue jeans, Blake caught his reflections eyes, cold icy blue were nothing compared to Grandma May's, which he firmly believed could see through a persons soul. Entering the kitchen Blake found Grandma May their, wooden spoon in hand. 'I hate that bloody spoon', That spoon hurt like hell when it hit bare flesh.
"Blake how's my favorite teenager doing, Nick say's your staying out of trouble."
"Doing pretty good, specially since I'm here and not back at the mad house."
They shared a brief hug before the wooden spoon snapped Blake's right wrist.
"Your still wearing this old jacket, it's going to need a wash." Rubbing his wrist with his hand he only nodded. "So how was everyone back home doing when you left?" She said before finding no other flaw in the clothing and returning to cooking dinner. Grandpa Nick just laughed to him self.
"They were doing fine, Dad's talking about a golf trip, Mom was going on about yoga."
"Yoga dear God what will she do next." Grandma May yelled cutting him off.
"Leo was going over to his friends for a sleep over or rather an all night online game night. Well Alice was hyper about a date with some guy from school."
"She's only twelve, she shouldn't be talking about such things at her age. No good will come of this, I don't want to go to her wedding day and see her in black." Grandma May yelled again and looked like she was about to lynch the guy who would dare ask out her granddaughter, her eye's bore into Blake's face for a moment.
"Best go unpack Blake, no point carrying that thing around all day." Nick said referring to the bag. Blake of course took the advice, the bag was heavy and Grandma May would normally calm down in a few minutes. He quickly made his way down the stairs into an open room and then through a door in the wall.
Blake's room as it was normally put was actually his dad's old room. Of course when he'd left Grandma May and Grandpa Nick had replace the bed with an old feather one and removed his fathers junk for his junk. Dropping the bag on the carpeted floor Blake made his way to a TV on a wooden shelf plugged into it was the rescued playstation and a handful of games. Picking up the top one he was glad to see no dust on it. The game was the one that in his mind was worth more then Leo's life, Spyro the Dragon Ripto's Rage. (Or Gateway to Glimmer to some people)
Crashing down onto the feather bed he sank a couple inches, Blake was know where near fat but he wasn't skin and bones either.
'Oh I totally need this vacation.' Was the dominate thought in his mind. "After that hell of year of school, putting up with those stupid twins Leo and Alice and being on the receiving end of a not so private brake up, it's good to be way from that crap"
Forcing the image of his ex girlfriend out of his head with a couple of shakes Blake returned his attention to the TV and game system. "Guess I could play for a few minutes least till dinner." Turning everything on soon everything outside the old game was forgotten.
The smell of Grandma May's cooking brought Blake out of the zone of gaming. His stomach sending him areminder that he'd had skipped lunch earlier. Running out of the room Blake didn't notice that he'd left the TV and playstation on.
The old twelve-year-old piece of machinery sparked and a flash of light covered the room. The only noticeable difference was that the floor had a large dark blue glowing portal right by the door.
Blake stared at the plate currently in front of him. It was clear of any remains of food from its surface. Grandma May and Grandpa Nick didn't raise food wasters. It was always clean your plate but Blake never had too much of a problem with that.
"Well May I do think you've done it again." Grandpa Nick said well leaning back in his chair.
Grandma May had returned to her normal calm self and nodded to the comment.
"Thanks for dinner Grandma May, I've still got to finish unpacking but I'll be up in a bit to help you with the dishes." Blake said with a grin and he got to his feet. His stomach was now happy and rather full.
Coming to his room Blake sighed when he noticed he'd left his bag blocking the door. In no mood to pick the rather heavy bag Blake merely jumped over it… and landed right into the portal.
"What the hellllllll!" Were the last words to leave his mouth.
(Avalar/Glimmer)
In a place filled with large gems and stonewalls. A trio of humanoid creatures stood together two of which are staring at a blue and black gateway well the third was working with to green orbs with gold bands attached to them.
"Is it working, Professor?" Ask the only female of the three, she had short light brown hair a green dress shirt and everything blew her waist was brown fur, with hooves for feet and a fox like tail. She was one of Avalars many Fauns.
"Almost... just a few more adjustments to these orbs and…" Replied a short mole like person in a lab coat with glasses. He was the one working with the orbs he couldn't wait to see if his experiment would work.
"Maybe this isn't such a good idea... bringing a dragon here could just make Ripto angrier!" Said the third member a yellow and black spotted cheetah. He was ringing his hands together, he really didn't like the idea of bringing a dragon to Avalar.
"Calm down Hunter! And stop fidgeting." Yelled the Faun
"But you saw the Professor's book. They have claws like THIS," He made a rough size with his hands. "Teeth like THIS!" He stretched his arm out to the point he couldn't go anyther further "And they spit fire like THIS! Ptuh, ptuh!" The Faun wiped spit off her face. "They sound much more dangerous than Ripto."
"That's exactly the point! A dragon is our only chance of stopping Ripto. And you know it!" She yelled back, she wasn't happy with Hunter's cowardly attitude.
"It's working... it's working! I've got a dragon!" The Professor yelled happily as the pair of orbs sparkled.
Through the stone door way fly's or rather fall's a green and brown body. The three watchws as the thing got up… there was no way this was a dragon. It was five feet some tall, golden brown haired, clothed in a forest green and dirt brown jacket, blue pants and running shoes.
"Owe, this is going to leave a mark." Blake said as it got off the ground. What the hell happened? Looking round he saw three strangely familiar people looking at him, but he couldn't place them. A cheetah, a mole in a lab coat and a rather cute faun, where had he scene the three before. The way they stared at him crept Blake out.
"What are you staring at?" He asked.
"You're a dragon?" Asked the Cheetah.
"Do I look like a dragon pussycat? I'm a human, wait that was… oh god no! This can't be happening!"
The conversation was cut short as a ball of fire past the group and struck the portal causing it to explode. Blake turn to see a little red creature in a black cape with a horn on his head and a scepter in hand. He rode on a large green four-legged beast with two yellow horns and a large scaly giant holding a club stood next to them.
'Oh God it is. I'm in Ripto's rage… where's Spyro?"
Ignoring Ripto Blake looked around for the purple dragon; there was no sign of him.
"What's this, you brought one of their kind to Avalar. I! HATE! HUMANS!"
Blake saw Elora whisper to Zoe and the fairy fly over and starts zapping Ripto.
"Ouch! Crush! Kill it kill it!" The Scaly swung his club sending Ripto to the ground.
Blake laughed as he watched Ripto go flying to the ground and Gulp swallow the loud mouth monsters Scepter, but that's what one gets for having two morons for guards. "I'll deal with you later." Ripto yells well the three started running off.
"What a loud mouth pest." Blake said shaking his head and turning to the group.
"That was Ripto! And you have to get rid of him! He's causing all sorts of trouble around here, but I haven't got time to explain, here, take this magic guide to Avalar, it'll help you begin to understand our worlds. Right now, I have to follow Ripto and see what he's up to! I'll meet you in Summer Forest, ok?" Elora said throwing him the guidebook and running off after Ripto with Hunter and the Professor at her heel. Leaving a rather flabbergasted Blake behind.
"Wait! How the hell can I help? I'm not a dragon like Spyro… wait. Just great, this is not going to end well."
So there you go, the start of a new adventure.
Blake: Where the hell's Spyro?"
