Chapter 1
The Beginning
It was dark night at the Dragon Temple. Everyone was fast asleep in their rooms. Ember and Flame cuddled each other in their room. Flame became a Fire Guardian dragon that took Ignitus's place in the main hall. Ember didn't became a Guardian, however she raises the dragons in the nursery like a mother. The dragons in the nursery were cuddling in a ball to keep themselves warm. Whirlwind was sleeping in the Main Hall, who became a Guardian after Terrador died from old age. Claudius was also in the Main Hall, taking his father's place as the Earth Guardian. Spyro and Cynder, along with their three kids were cuddling each other. Keeping themselves very warm.
The three dragons were about fourteen years old and almost the size of Spyro when he was young. One of them was an electric dragon. It was a female and she looks more like Spyro but more girl looking. Her name was Electra. She had dark purple horns and wings and her entire body was yellow. Another dragon was a male fire dragon, named "Torch". He had orange horns and wings and his entire body was red.
Torch woke up and couldn't find his brother, Damian. Damian was another son to Spyro and Cynder. He had super dark, blue horns and wings. His entire body was black like Cynder's color skin. Torch searched around the room and couldn't find Damian. He quietly climbed out of his nest and slowly walked out the room. Torch walked through the Dojo and went outside, and onto the Balcony. He then saw Damian looking up at the stars.
"Damian! There you are!" Torch said as he walks up to Damian. "Oh…Hey Torch. What are you doing out here?" Damian asked. "I was about to ask you the same thing." Torch replied. Damian smiled at Torch and then he looked over the stars. "I couldn't sleep so I decided to come out here." Damian said while looking at the dragon constellation.
Torch shook his head and then he said, "You're thinking on going out into the swamp aren't you?" Damian felt shocked after hearing that.
"Okay, you got me. Yes. I just want to see what the swamp's like at night." Damian said.
"Let's go Torch. Just you and me." Damian said as he turned to Torch.
"What!? Damian, don't you remember the last time we tried to go to the swamp at night?" Torch said. Then Damian had a flashback of the time when he was younger, when he and Torch tried to go to the swamp at night.
-Flashback of Torch and Damian as younger dragons-
Torch and Damian met each other at the Dojo at night. "You ready Torch?" Damian asked Torch. "You bet. Let's go see the swamp right now." Torch said while feeling excited. Damian shook each other's paw and then they left the Dojo together. Damian and Torch made their way in the Hall of Tails and they quietly moved past the Guardian Dragons to head to the outside doors. As soon as they made it to the door they heard a voice behind them.
"What are you two doing?" Said the voice. Torch and Damian turned around and saw their father, Spyro. He looked very mad. Spyro told the kids not to go out at night but they don't know why.
"We were…just…walking around the Temple Dad." Damian said.
"Don't lie to me Damian! What are you two really doing." Spyro commanded Damian and Torch to answer back.
"Dad, we wanted to go outside tonight. We really want to see what the Swamp is like at night." Torch told the truth.
Spyro didn't want his children to go to the Swamp at night because it is filled with dark creatures such as Toad Weeds and Bulb Spiders.
"I'm sorry kids, but as your father I order you to not go out of the temple at night." Spyro said. Damian and Torch got upset and said, "But…but…"
"That's an order. Now get back in our room." Spyro commanded Damian and Torch again. They slowly walked past their father and said, "Yes Dad…" while feeling sad.
-Flashback ends-
"Oh…Now I remember." Damian said while feeling guilty for trying to escape the temple.
"I know you want to go to the Swamp so bad Damian, but Dad said that we can't until we were older." Torch explained to Damian
"We are older now. I'm still going to the Swamp Torch. With or without you." Damian said as he looked away from Torch. Torch didn't want to be grounded or be punished but he also wanted to see the Swamp as well. "Alright, Alright. I'll go with you, but we better get back here before our parents wake up."
"You got it, brother." Damian said as he flew off the Balcony and into the swamp. Torched looked back and then he flew off the balcony and followed Damian.
Then Sparx came out and saw Damian and Torch flying into the Swamp. "Oh no! Spyro's gonna kill me if he knew about this." Sparx said while freaking out. Sparx was in charge of Spyro and Cynder's children when they were gone or asleep. "I better find those trouble makers before Spyro and Cynder wake up." Sparx whispered to himself. He then flew off the balcony and went after Damian and Torch.
