An Unknown Dragon,
Blake's Story
Hope you all enjoy my newest Fanfiction! This is my first Spyro Fanfiction so it probably won't be the best but I hope it's enjoyable all the same.
Ignitus, a large red dragon, entered the temple to watch over a very special egg. "In the year of the dragon, in a world beyond the realms, I, like all the others, awaited the birth of the dragon of whom the profecies fortold." He shot a flame at a doorway and entered a room filled with dragon eggs. "But the Dark Master heard the profecies as well. I should have hidden the eggs long before, but I...I thought we were ready, I thought they were safe...oh how I was wrong." Gazing upon the purple egg sitting apart from the other eggs, a sudden rumbling startled Ignitus.
Volteer stumbled into the room, "Save them! The Dark Armies have come!" Thinking fast, Ignitus grabbed the purple egg and escaped from the temple quickly shooting a flame at the doorway in order to make his escape. Flying away from the temple,he cradled the egg in one arm as he flew. Coming to a river, he landed on the shore and thought as he got an idea. Carefully placing the egg into an overturned mushroom top, he sent it down the river. "May the ancestors look after you." He called after the egg. "May they look after us all."
Meanwhile, as Ignitus was sending the egg off to keep it safe, the Dark Armies began destroying the other eggs in the room and generally causing mayhem. One of the soldiers took one egg to give to the Dark Master and in the chaos, a single egg was knocked out of sight. It was never noticed and when the damage was done the Dark Armies left.
Returning to the temple, Ignitus surveyed the damage. All of the eggs had been destroyed. Ignitus wasn't sure if any of the eggs had made it through the attack. Until he came across one that was hidden away. It was striking blue color with small yellow spots. "Well it seems one egg made it after all." Ignitus carefully picked up the egg and brought it to the other guardians who had been looking at the damage made to the temple after the attack of the Dark Armies.
There were broken pillars and places where the ceiling had broken, chunks of rock littering the ground. Volteer, Terrador, the Earth guardian, and Cyril, the Ice guardian, sat glumly in a circle. Cyril sighed, his icy breath showing as a foggy cloud. "And I could have beaten them all myself easily," He said. Cyril was a bit full of himself. Terrador shook his head, "now Cyril, none of us could have handled the Dark Armies, we were outnumbered."
Cyril simply closed his eyes and stuck his nose in the air, snorting an icy cloud through his nostrils. "Come now Cyril," Volteer commented from his spot where he was lying on the ground, "we tried our best, although it seems none of the eggs survived the attack." "I wouldn't be too sure about that, Volteer." said Ignitus as he entered the room, cradling the small yellow spotted egg. "I managed to find an egg that somehow survived the attack." He set the egg on the ground.
"Amazing! Astounding! Remarkable even! I wasn't sure any of the eggs had survived, but it appears that one has!" Volteer pushed himself up and walked over to get a better look at the egg.
"We must protect this egg." Terrador piped up from his lying down position, "If the Dark Master finds out one egg survived he may send his armies once again to destroy it. Ignitus pulled the egg towards himself, "We will take turns watching over it until it hatches, if we manage to keep the egg safe until the young dragon inside emerges."
"I will be the first to watch it for tonight, and then tomorrow Volteer will watch it for part of the day." All the other guardians agreed and Ignitus returned the egg to the room it was found in and laid down next to it. "Do not worry, young dragon, you are safe."
*Meanwhile, while one egg was found safe, the egg Ignitus sent off was making it's way down the river*
The purple egg in it's makeshift raft floated down the river, coming to rest in a distant swamp. Two curious dragonflies approached the strange object. "What is it, Flash?" the female dragonfly, who was obviously pregnant, asked. I don't know, Nina," Flash, the male dragonfly said. As he approached the large object, a loud cracking noise scared both of them off.
A large crack appeared on the shell of the egg as it began rocking back and forth, the young dragon inside fighting to escape inside. Pieces of shell fell off as more cracks appeared. Once a large piece of egg shell came off the dragon pushed his head through and scratched from the inside to try to get the rest of his body through.
Meanwhile, the female dragonfly had gone into labor shortly after the egg began hatching. Flash held her hand as Nina cried out in pain from the contractions and pushed to bring her child into the world. "Come on, Nina, you can do this!" Flash was trying to stay calm for Nina's sake, but inside he was freaking out. Nina pushed as hard as she could and soon the head could be seen. "Keep going, Nina! I see the head!" Flash encouraged his wife as she panted.
Back with the young dragon, he had gotten his front legs free from the egg. Wiggling slightly, the young dragon managed to get the rest of his body out and he landed on the ground with a thump. The dragon yawned before looking around curiously, observing the strange world he had entered.
With a final push the young dragonfly slid free from his mother. Flash carefully picked up his son and placed him in his mother's arms. "Welcome to the world, Sparx..." Nina said breathlessly as she cradled the crying baby dragonfly in her arms. Welcome to the world, son." Flash said, tears of joy in his eyes as he gently kissed his son's head.
A shrill cry rang out and startled the young dragon, causing him to cry. Soon, the dragonfly pair from before showed up again, only the female was cradling a young yellow dragonfly in her arms.
"Oh, look, Flash, that strange object must have been an egg, the poor creature's all alone." Nina passed Sparx to his father, who cooed and snuggled into his father's arms. "Don't, Nina, it might be dangerous," Flash warned her but Nina approached the dragon, who was several times her size.
"Hey...it's alright, don't cry little one..." Nina spoke softly to the dragon, slowly reaching out a hand towards where the dragon was sprawled on the ground, gently touching his scaly skin. The dragon sniffled and looked down at the strange creature touching him, and chirped.
"There, there, you're safe now," Nina cooed. Flash could only watch as his wife talked to the large creature before them. Flash nervously approached, keeping a careful grip on Sparx, and looked up at the dragon. The dragon moved it's head and snuffled the male dragonfly curiously, nearly blowing him away with his breath.
Sparx found this amusing and giggled while reaching toward the large creature in front of him. "What should we do, Flash? we can't just leave him here..." Nina asked her husband. Flash thought as he got at good look at the dragon, he was purple, with purple eyes and yellow scales going from his chest to his belly. his horns were little yellow nubs, he had a small yellow crest that ended in orange spikes going down his back ending at a spiral shape at the end of his tail. Small crumpled wings laid on his shoulders.
Flash sighed, "Well, he is alone, and as you said we can't leave him here, who knows what would happen to him..." Flash turned to Nina, "I guess we'll just have to adopt him as our own." Nina twirled in the air and then threw her arms around Flash, careful not to squish Sparx, "Oh, thank you, Flash!" then she turned to the dragon, hear that little one? we're your parents now! We'll call you...Spyro."
And that's the first chapter! I know that Dragonflies actually lay eggs but I thought that Sparx being born would be more interesting. Anyway hope you guys enjoyed it!
