Legend of Spyro: Hero of Earth

by Dragongod Eclipsen

Long ago in the Dragon Realms, before the reign of Dragonkind, Humans prospered. They created great machines and wielded the Elements like an artist paints with a brush. But they disappeared. Now, a new human has been sent to the Dragon Realms, and it's the duty of Spyro and Cynder's daughter to guide the human and discover the lost secrets of humanity.

1. Prologue

Have you ever thought about the peoples of the past? How they prospered at one point, but fell to dust the next?

In the Dragon Realms, Humanity was much the same. They built great machines that supported their empire for ages and wielded the Elements so easily and with such skill that it came to them like breathing in and out.

But of course, every civilization has it's life span. The Human's downfall came from their hubris, for they were not satisfied with their own control over the four Elements, and sought a fifth to cement their rule in the Dragon Realms.

Aether. The all-powerful Element of the Purple Dragons. The Humans searched for a source of it endlessly, drying up every Energy Gem on the face of their empire. The Earth's will manifested, and a great calamity fell upon the empire of humanity, sinking their structures and technology into the Earth itself, where they would stay buried.

That is where the story of Humanity in the Dragon Realms ends.

Or so it was thought.
