YOOOOOOOOOO I have returned to fanfiction with my new story! And, hopefully, it will be waaaay better than the original. Now, let's get to it!
Chapter 1: The Explosion
Master Eon is a great teacher. Seriously, I can't think of anyone else that I would prefer to have as my teacher. Being his apprentice has given me some of the best opportunities.
I've met King Ramses, a frail, old, green dragon and the ruler of Dragon's Peak, and some of his best soldiers like the captain of his guard, Flavius. Even saw Flavius become king when Ramses died.
Master Eon showed me things that would help me for when I take over as Portal Master. He figured how I could use portals on myself so that I can get to locations faster, how to use any of the elements to defend and attack, how to make certain decisions in tough situations, and how to give proper instructions to the Skylanders, a large team of different creatures that were formed to defend Skylands, in a battle.
Despite all of this, no one knew I was his apprentice.
He wanted to keep me secret because he was afraid someone would try to get rid of me. And that someone, was Kaos.
Kaos was a...Portal Master, I guess is what you would call him. He didn't have the same training that I had though, barely any at all. The training he got, was from books that he read, which told him of only a fraction of what he could do.
He doesn't fully understand his powers, making him even more dangerous.
Master Eon, fully aware of that problem, devoted most of my training to learning defensive and offensive magic, leaving me to study the Core of Light, the machine that repels the Darkness from Skylands, in my free time.
The first couple years with Master Eon were peaceful; no battles, no trouble whatsoever. But at the end of March in my third year with the Skylanders and Master Eon, things changed.
Spyro, a purple dragon with golden, curved horns on his head and leader of the Skylanders, was telling me how to turn into a dragon. So far, I had only managed to sprout some silver horns on the top of my head and a pair of large, pure white wings on my back, a great accomplishment since I had only started learning how to do the transformation that week.
"You're getting there, Jenni! You'll probably have it in a couple more weeks!" Spyro lashed his tail excitedly, his eyes gleaming excitedly.
"You really think so?" I asked a little nervously, stretching my leathery wings out a bit, trying to adjust to the new weight. "I'm glad you're excited, Spyro, but I don't think I'll get it THAT soon."
"Yes, you will." He quickly shot back. "It does take time but you're a fast learner. Lo-!"
He was quickly cut off when the ground violently shook and knocked me off my feet, the horns and wings disappearing from the shock.
"What was that?!" I exclaimed.
"SPYRO!" A booming voice yelled out.
Whirling around, Spyro and I looked up at the balcony of the small castle everyone lived in. Master Eon was on it and gazing down at the purple dragon, his sky blue eyes burning with some emotion I didn't recognize.
"Get Jenni out of here! Kaos is coming and she needs to be out of sight!"
Spreading his wings out, Spyro quickly took off. Wrapping his claws around my pale arms, he lifted me off the ground and flew away from the impending battle with me in tow. Even though I was 15, I was still small so he didn't struggle with carrying me. Soon, Sunburn, a phoenix-dragon hybrid, joined us, explaining that Master Eon wanted me to have extra protection.
We landed on a small island a little ways from the one we had just come from. Looking out, my brown eyes caught sight of a flying, dark castle rapidly approaching Master Eon's island. Then everything happened in a blur, Kaos' head being projected, monsters attacking, the Skylanders fighting back, and then, a powerful beam of light shooting down from the sky and crashing down on the Core of Light, sending out an explosion that rocked the area.
Spyro recovered first, his purple eyes saw the blast from the explosion heading straight for us and he quickly got us down to the ground, but that was in vain. I remember a searing pain going through my entire system, then there was nothing.
I woke up on a soft forest floor, with an unconscious Spyro and Sunburn next to me. I didn't recognize anything in the immediate area. The air felt different, everything felt different. I didn't know where I was but I definitely knew I was no longer in Skylands. Whatever this place was, I needed to find out. I need to find out what world I was in and find a way back to Skylands, I need to know what happened to Master Eon and the Skylanders.
