Chapter 1
POV: ?
'I'm never going to get on an airplane, ever.' Was the first thing I thought when I woke up. I let out a sigh before picking myself up off the ground. I looked around to find that I was alone, in the middle of nowhere, literally. I was surrounded by nothing but an empty white expanse that seemed to never end. I looked down to find that I was wearing my usual clothes consisting of black converse, jean shorts that stop just below the knee, a grey tee shirt, and a dark red sleeveless zip up hoodie over it. My white Skullcandy Skullcrusher over ear headphones, my black wallet with skulls on it, and my necklace. The necklace is a regular black chain with two rings on it, one small one made of silver with a gold strip in the middle, and the other one was slightly larger made of gold with a silver strip in the middle. My parents wedding rings.
My name is Ezhno, I am 15 and about 5 feet 9 inches tall. I have messy grey hair that refuses to be tamed by a comb, that reaches the back of my neck, and covers my eyes completely. My eyes are a golden yellow, but people can't normally see them since my hair covers them.
"Let's see the last thing I remember is that strange dream and… " I started while taking on a thinking pose, "Shit! Medusa!" I yelled before something slid out of my hoodie. I looked down to find a large black snake with blood red eyes looking up at me.
"Medusa, are you okay?" I asked her while kneeling down to take a closer look at her.
"Yes Ezhno I'm fine." A voice came out of nowhere.
"Oh thank go-" I stopped before looking around to find that nobody was here except us.
"Was that you Medusa?" I asked while looking back down at the snake who was giving me they snakes equivalent of a 'no shit sherlock' look.
"Who else could it be?" She replied sarcastically. I stared at her for a couple of seconds before shaking my head.
"Okay, ignoring the fact that my snake can suddenly talk, what's the last thing you can remember because that last thing I remember was falling out of the plane." I asked her. Medusa slithered up my leg before coiling around my chest under my hoodie and hovering her head over my right shoulder.
"Same. The last thing I can remember is falling out of the plane with you, and some strange dream that I don't understand." She replied before resting her head on my right shoulder, out of sight.
"So, does this mean we're dead? Cause I have to say," I started before looking around, "the after life is kinda of boring."
"Oh silly, you're not in the after life, you're in Limbo." A double layered woman's voice spoke up from behind me. One was nice and motherly while the other was dark and malicious. I spun around and brought up my fists only to freeze at what I saw.
A woman was standing behind me, her skin was pale and she had long hair that was golden blonde on the right and pure black on the left, and her right eye was light grey while her left eyes was dark purple. She was wearing long regal looking robes that were white with royal golden patterns on the right and black with demonic purple patterns on the left.
"Who are you and what do you mean Limbo?" I asked the strange woman.
"I am God." She said in her double layered voice, that was starting to creep me out.
"Okay… whats with the whole yin-yang thing you have going on?"
"Oh this?" She asked while looking down at herself. I nodded.
"Well since there's only one Creator, so to say, and you can't have light without dark, I am both life and death, or God to make things easier." I stood there quietly thinking over what she said before nodding slowly.
"I guess that makes sense, but you haven't answered my other question."
"Since I am both life and death I can't go to heaven or hell for too long without causing a disturbance to the balance of things, so I mostly stay in Limbo, the realm between life and death, and as you can see it's quite boring here. So in an attempt to alleviate my boredom, I wanted to see how a random person acted when they are given a second chance in a new world."
"So you made the plane crash so you could use my soul as a form of entertainment?" I asked while trying to keep a lid on my rising anger. God noticed my change in emotion and started to wave her hands around frantically while saying.
"Wait, no that's not what's happening! I didn't cause your death."
"Then what's happening?"
"Contrary to popular belief I don't actually do much. I simply started your world. Everything that's happened throughout Earth's history is because of Humanity, not me. And like I said, I picked a soul at random, which means I picked your soul when it passed through Limbo." I stared at her for a couple of minutes before sighing.
"Fine. Now what do you mean by a second chance in a new world?"
"Exactly what it sounds like. I'm going to send you to a random world with some random abilities and see what happens."
"What about Medusa, you said you picked a single random soul so why is she here?" I asked while Medusa poked her head out of my hoodie.
"I only planned on taking your soul but since your souls were so close and are tied together, she ended up tagging along." I gave her a puzzled look wondering what she meant before looking down a Medusa who gave me the snakes equivalent of a shrug.
"What do you mean by our souls are tied together?" God just gave me a cheshire smirk.
"That's for me to know and you to find out." I sighed while shaking my head.
"So what kind of abilities are we getting and where are you sending us?" I asked only for God's smirk to grow into a full blown grin.
"You'll just have to figure that out yourself."
"Don't we get any say in this?" I asked only for her grin to turn into a face splitting cheshire smile, that was starting to scare me.
"Nope." She said while popping the 'p'.
"Son of a-" I started only to stop when I was overcome with a sudden drowsiness. The last thing I saw was God's smiling face before I fell back and everything went dark.
I woke up in what looked like a cave of some sort cave lying on my back. My whole body was sore and sluggish. I slowly sat up to try and look around only to back up. Standing several feet away from me was what looked like two large lizards. One was black and the other was purple. I couldn't see them clearly, but I could see their razor sharp claws and teeth they had. I continued to back up only to stop when my right arm flared up in pain. I gasped while clutching my my limb only to find it covered in bandages.
"What the he-" I was cut off when a part of the cave roof fell down blocked me off from the lizards. I tried to get up only for my arm and my back as well to flare up in pain again. Only this time it was much worse. It felt like something was trying to force it's way out of body. When it finally stopped I could barely move because it hurt so much.
Then without warning it happened again only this time it felt like my back actually burst open. My vision faded and I felt something warm cover me before I blackout again.
POV: Cynder
"BIIIIITCHHHHH!" I heard a masculine voice shout out of no where. I looked around only to jump out of the way as something flew out of the Well of Souls at us. It slammed into the ground before skidding to a stop several feet away from us. I tried to get a look at what it was only to gasp and talk a couple of steps back. It looked like a hairless ape with the fur it has on its head being grey in color. It was wearing some type of robe with its primary colors being blue, red and grey, black foot wear of some sort, and bandages around its right arm as if it was injured.
"What is that?!" Sparx yelled when he saw it. Spyro just looked at it with uncertainty before looking towards me.
"I don't know what it is but it came from the Well of Souls and nothing god ever comes form their." I said while looking back at the hairless ape thing only to see it start to shift around. It let out a groan while trying to stand up, only to back up as soon as it saw us.
"What the he-" The creature started only to stop and grasp its right arm as it was in pain. I was about to speak up when the ground started to shake and a large chunk of the roof fell, separating us from the creature.
"Oh man we need to get outa here!" Sparx yelled while looking around frantically for a way out.
"Get close to me now!" Spyro yelled suddenly as the ground started to shake harder than before.
"What! Why!?" I yelled, we need to get out of here not group up in one spot.
"Just do it!" Spyro yelled louder this time. The mountain started to come down around us so having no other choice I ran over to Spyro. When I got next to Spyro he started to glow before everything went dark.
