All right, Dragonhunter777 here. I'm going to try and post chapters up as soon as I get done writing and revising them. Hopefully I'll get the second chapter up before school starts. After that... Well, let's just say that I'll make time. Good thing I inherited my father's math genius, otherwise Math homework would take all night.
Now, then... On to the first chapter!

One year after Malefor's Defeat

Twilight Falls, Midnight

Spyro and Cynder had been relaxing near Twilight Falls after a long day. They were lying next to each other when Spyro noticed a fireball in the sky. He watched the fireball split into three pieces. One seemed to head for the Mountain of Malefor. Another headed towards Warfang, and the last one was headed straight for Twilight Falls. As Spyro and Cynder watched, it crashed into the forest, giving off a strange light when the smoke cleared. They decided to investigate the meteor, and found that it had actually been a blue crystal with something inside. The crystal began to vibrate and give off more blue light, effectively blinding them. The crystal shattered, making a figure inside slump to the ground, its right eye giving off the same blue light from the crystal. This light went away as it closed the eye. Spyro went up to the figure, seeing that it was merely unconscious, and looked it over. It appeared to be somewhat like an Ape, but it didn't have the fur that the Apes had. It had a little bit of tan skin instead, which contrasted a bit with its black hair. Spyro thought for a moment, and then asked Cynder.

"Cynder, should we take this to the Guardians? They should know what this is." Cynder looked over to Spyro and nodded. They grabbed a shoulder, started flapping their wings hard, and lifted the thing, then flew over to Warfang.

Twelve hours later, in Warfang, from Brandon's perspective

I woke to find myself in a soft bed, much like the kind I would be in at home. However, it felt different, as it was a bit softer than usual. I thought I had actually been in a dream, and that Nameless was just part of my imagination. I looked around, and found that buildings didn't surround me, nor did a cave wall surround me, which had been my home when I was living with dragons. No, the walls were made of wood and brick, and the bed was longer than I was. I had just put my feet to the floor when I heard footsteps outside my door. Someone knocked, than an unfamiliar voice said,

"Are you awake in there?" I thought for a moment, and then replied.

"Yes. What do you want?"

"That's good. When you're ready, go down this hall to the left and head down the stairs. There's something that we all would like to talk about. Got it?"

"Yes, I'm coming." I then looked around and found a mirror on the wall. Apparently this room was more suited for dragons, as the mirror and bed were close to the ground. I went to the mirror and straightened out my hair as much as I could. Once I was done, I headed toward the door an opened it, took a left and headed for the stairs, my mind racing. Where am I? This certainly isn't home, and it isn't a human city. It seems like the dragons have gone ahead and stolen our technology. But if Nameless was indeed sealed in the crystal, then that means… Oh no. Eventually, I saw that there were three dragons waiting for me. I shied away backwards, knowing that they wanted to ask lots of questions when I bumped into something. I spun around to come face-to-face with a purple dragon and golden underbelly. Although I sensed that it had a good spirit, there was also something evil about it.

"Hey, now. You're that thing we saw in the forest, right? Glad to see you're up."

"Who are you?"

"Spyro, and who are you?"

"I'm Brandon, Spyro. Nice to meet you." I put my hand on his neck, more of a friendly gesture, and I quickly felt around with magic to see what the darkness inside of him was. He must have felt this, because he nudged my hand off of him before I could find the darkness inside him.

"Well, then, shouldn't you be going down there? They all have questions for you, including me. Shall we?" As Spyro descended down the stairs, I followed him. I felt many eyes shift their vision to look at me before I came to stand below a trio of dragons, one colored yellow, one green, and one an icy blue. However, I saw their heads turn to look at something behind me. I turned around and saw one familiar face. It was another icy blue dragon about Spyro's size, and it had two horns on its head, one chipped from battle. I recognized her immediately, and she spotted me as well. She bounded down the stairs and ran towards me, tackling me in her glee.

"Brandon! You're alive! I can't tell you how much I missed you!" She then proceeded to lick at my face.

"Oh, Glacielle, stop it! You're embarrassing me in front of them!" Still, I put my arms around her and gave her a quick hug before she got off of me. I turned to face the three dragons, and they spoke.

"Well, then. Glacielle told us everything about what had happened in ancient times. It is unbelievable that humans were once part of this land. This news may seem shocking to you, but I speak the truth. It had been five thousand years since all that had happened." I was shocked at this, but I also expected this a bit, since being sealed away in a crystal can make this happen a lot. "Before I go on, I am Terrador, the Earth Guardian. This is Cyril, the Ice Guardian, and this is Volteer, the Electric Guardian. You have already met our new Fire Guardian, Spyro, though he can use other elements than just fire." Spyro was curious, and he asked his own question.

"What can you tell us about Old Magic? I've heard about it, but I've never seen it."

"It's a lot to explain, actually. To be honest, it would be better if I showed you what it looked like rather than talk about it. Got a place I can show you?"

"You can do it right here, actually. This place can double as a training room of sorts." I watched as the floor beneath me shifted, and familiar practice dummies popped out of the ground.

As the dummies approached me, I got into a battle stance, and started sweeping kicks and direct punches. As I performed these moves, flames, electricity, and ice trailed my arms and legs, destroying the dummies as they went up in smoke one after the other. The last part surprised me a little. Large dummies replaced the normal dummies that were appearing, and none of my attacks would stop them. I easily dodged their clumsy swipes, but I was growing tired and frustrated. I got frustrated enough to slam my fist into the ground, causing the training floor to erupt in a chaotic fury of the elements. First was Earth, and it formed rock spears that came out of the ground, slamming themselves into the dummies. An Ice Storm swirled around me, with giant icicles battering the dummies until they were partially frozen. A Thunderstorm appeared next, lightning striking with pinpoint accuracy on each dummy, which had not been destroyed yet. Finally, I slammed my other fist into the ground, and a small atomic bomb went off in the room, vaporizing the dummies in one, huge blast of sound and heat. It cleared as fast as it appeared, showing me with both fists still in the ground and my right eye glowing. I stood up, and the light from my eye faded.

"Such power… I'm glad that you're not our enemy."

"While I enjoy showing my powers, there is another pressing issue. Has Glacielle told you of Nameless?" Glacielle flinched, as apparently she forgot about the part of him being sealed with us.

"No."

"Well, then, I will tell you now. We are in danger greater than anything you have known. Nameless was sealed away with us, as his power was too great for us to defeat. He uses magic that nobody used, not even the most power-hungry person on the planet. It is Forbidden Magic, and it has many elements that are not natural. They don't even have a name, they're that bad." The Guardians looked at each other while Spyro just stared at me. He came down to me when the Guardians started talking to each other.

"Is it possible that this forbidden magic could destroy an entire world?"

"Yes, why do you ask?"

"Well, I knew someone who had used that kind of magic. Does it affect the user in any sort of way?"

"Well, it distorts their figure, for one. It makes them appear to have an aura around them, made of pure evil. Their voice is changed as well, making them sound very demonic." Spyro flinched, apparently remembering something.

"I'll tell you the story later, but there was another purple dragon like me who has been sealed away for a year now. He had used the magic to try and destroy this world, but I stopped him." The Guardians turned to me after agreeing on something.

"Brandon, if our world is in as much danger as you say, then we must track this Nameless down. Do you have any idea where he might be?" Before I could speak, Spyro answered.

"I saw a piece of the meteor go to the Mountain of Malefor. He could be there." The Guardians then waved a claw at us, apparently signaling the end of the meeting. I went to my room, but before I could enter, I felt an evil presence nearby. I whipped around to see that it was another dragon walking with Spyro. They were both walking towards me, but the other dragon jumped when she saw me. "Brandon, relax. This is Cynder."

"Well, nice to meet you, Cynder. Sorry about startling you, but I haven't got this far without being cautious." I placed my hand on Cynder in the same place as Spyro. What I didn't expect was for the amount of darkness inside her. I flinched and pulled my hand off quickly. Luckily for me, Spyro and Cynder didn't mind this. "Well, goodnight you two. I'm slightly exhausted from that demonstration. Never had to use that much power in one sitting, especially for a fight that lasted half the day." I stepped out of their way and watched as they walked down the hallway together. Before they went into their room, they shared a kiss before entering.

"They're so adorable right now, aren't they, Brandon?" I jumped at this and turned to face Glacielle who had snuck up on me.

"Glacielle, don't do that. You never know what would happen if I mistook you for something else."

"Oh, you know that wouldn't happen, sweetie." I opened the door to my room, and Glacielle also came in. "You don't mind if I stay the night with you? I feel more comfortable around you."

Heh, she hasn't changed much. "Yeah, go right ahead. I'm sure that I wouldn't mind spending the night with an icy cold dragon." She leapt up on the bed, slapping me lightly with her tail, and I went and laid down next to her. She spread her wing over me, causing the air to lose its frigidity. She snuggled closer and put her head on top of mine and closed her beautiful sapphire eyes. She fell asleep within seconds, and I did so too, because I had been accustomed to this ever since she had become friends with me.
