Location. Martinsville, Indiana
A shimmer in the night air starts forming on the night's summer air and from that a portal opens up and out from it comes three being. Two of them of are dragons, one black the other purple, the third was a dragonfly. All three started to get up and check for injuries.
"What happened?" Asked Cynder.
"I don't know. But were ever we are its night scene the stars are out." Said Spyro.
"Weird place this is. Looks like a town or a village but none I recognize."
"I don't care I want to go home." Said Sparx with a slight worry in his voice.
"What's the matter Sparx I thought you like damager? I mean you are the 'god of the Atlaws' and gods aren't scared of anything." Said Cynder.
Sparks then pointed up. The two dragons looked to where he pointed and were shock at what they saw. There was a tree that did not have any branches but that wasn't what got their attention. At the top there was a light not from a flam.
"What is this?" said Spyro as he slowly walked over to the strange light.
"Spyro do you have to go to the strange light?" said Sparks.
"Sparx I don't think there is anything to be worried about." Said Cynder with a hint of annoyance. "And what can that thing d-"Cynder started to say but stopped when the wind carried a sent both strange yet familiar at the same time.
"Cynder is something wrong?" Ask Spyro as he noticed that Cynder was sniffing the air.
"I smelled what I thought was an ape. But there is something different about the smell." Said Cynder, confusion evidence in her voice.
"Can you tell where it's coming from?" ask Spyro as he looked around as he too started to smell what Cynder was smelling. It did smell like an ape but there were difference in the smell from all the apes he had encountered.
"The smell is getting stronger; likely from the ape getting closer." Said Cynder as she continue sniffing the air.
"Great we are in an ape village." Said Sparks before he hid behind one of Spyros horns.
"We need to hide." Said Spyro as he looked around for a suitable hiding place. He spotted some bushes close by that were just big enough to hide all three of them.
"Over there." Said Spyro and lead Cynder and Sparx over to the bush.
The smell kept on getting stronger like the ape know where they were.
Cynder saw the ape first but the ape look different than any ape she had ever seen. It was taller and had less muscle mass then any ape. The ape was also wearing strange clothes. Along with the strange clothes the ape was on some strange device with two wheels. As the ape got closer they could hear it talking about something.
"Spyro should we kill it?" ask Cynder.
"No that ape may know where we are and how we got here. We'll take it alive." Said Spyro.
"Well how do we capture it then?"
"You use your element of shadow and when it gets close you strike."
"Alright." Said Cynder and went to where she was going to capture it and used her ability to manipulate the shadows around her body. She notice that for some reason her ability was requiring a lot more energy than usual. Something else to ask the ape Cynder thought.
"I just don't get it how my mom can justify what she makes my have to go through in this hell hole." Said the ape as it got closer to where Cynder was hidden.
Here we go thought Cynder and she spring from here hiding place.
: ten minutes earlier:
"Drew you need to take care of the clothes." Said a voice that Drew know he better do what it ordered him to do even if on the surface the voice made it sound like a suggestion. He got up from where he was siting and went to the kitchen to take care of the clothes. As he got up the two dogs that were with him got up and followed him. The bigger of the two was a brindle Greyhound and the other was a black and white mutt.
Drew opened the dryer and clean the lint filter and through the lint away. He then tock all the clothes out of the dry and went to the living room. Some of the clothes fell on the flour. He drop the loud were he always but the clothes. He then picks up all the clothes that he dropped on his way to the living room. When all the clothes were in the living room he went back into the kitchen to finish with the clothes.
He opened the washer and moved the clothes from there to the dryer. As the was doing that the right sliver on his shirt moved up and showed the tail of the gold dragon tattoo he had.
"You still haven't removed that thing from your arm yet." Said Drew's mom when she saw it.
"Would you be forcing me if it was something else mom." Said Drew with some hostility in his voice.
"Just why did you choose a dragon?" said his mom.
"I like dragons how about that." Said Drew.
"Yes we know you like thus beast. But they are the Devil itself."
"Where does it say that?" said Drew as he felt his anger rising.
"The bible says that his son is a dragon." She said.
"Please the Devil can take on the appearance of any living creature and he mostly chooses us. And he can also possess any living thing like those pigs in that one town Jesus went to. There are not all evil like you and almost everyone also thinks." Said Drew and put the last of the clothes in the dryer.
He started the dryer and went to the porch and got his bike.
"Where are you going at this hour?" ask Drew's mom.
"Going for a ride to cool down." Said Drew as he went out the front door.
He got on his bike and rood away.
"God what's with her? Just why does she have to bring up my tattoo whenever she sees it." Said Drew when he was far enough away from the house.
He and his mom did not get along with each. They had different viewpoints on a lot of things. His mom was stick about what acceptable and what wasn't. He went on like this for a few minutes talking about some of the problems his mom had and the crap he has to deal with from his younger brothers.
Drew was the oldest out of six boys but his brothers did not treat him like there older brother. How their relationship was more like arch rivals. Then going through Drew's things to steal or to put thing there to get him in trouble. His dad work three job so they could have enough to live so he didn't know what was going on at home.
Some of the town's folks did not like him because of two reasons. The first was because of one of his dads jobs. His dad work for the local Sheriff Department and he was one of the few that did his job. The second was because he had autism. Him having autism was the biggest reason why he was forced to be a loner sometimes. He was friendly but the town had an unwritten rule about people like him.
But he did have some friends. They were also outcast but not for the same reasons as him. They were normal people but the town did not like then. His friends and him did not get into any trouble because the town was looking for a reason to get rid of them.
"I just don't get how get it how my mom can justify what she makes me have to go through in this hell hole." Said Drew.
He heard a sound from his left and the next thing he know he was knocked off his bike face first on the ground.
"Hay what are you doing?" ask Drew when he regains his senses.
"Quiet ape we have a few questions to ask you and you better answer correctly." Said Cynder as she held Drew down.
"First of where are we? "She ask.
"What the hell have you guys been smoking?" said Drew as he struggled from under Cynder but he could not get out of her hold on him.
"Forget about that." Said Sparks. "Free thus dragonfly from those lanterns."
"Great Drew you got dropped by the town druggies." Drew merited from under Cynder.
"Can the two of you please be quiet?" Said Spyro.
Cynder and Sparks innately went quiet.
"Now then ape will you answer a few questions we have." Ask Spyro.
Drew thought about it.
These guys are high on something better treed carefully about what I do and say thought Drew.
"All right but first can you get whoever is on me to get off I'm not going to be of any help to you if I have my face in the dirt." Said Drew.
Spyro look at Cynder and nodded for her to let him go.
She got off of Drew reluctantly but kept a close eye on Drew.
If that ape does anything to hurt Spyro I will kill it.
Drew got up and dusted himself of.
"Thank you and the second thing is why are you calling me an ape. I'm human like –"Drew started to say but stopped when he saw who his attacker was. "-you!"
What he saw was not human. They were dragons. They look familiar but he did not know any dragons, at least he thought he didn't.
"What is a human?" ask Spyro.
Drew recovered from his shock and answered Spyro.
"Human is will? Is what I an." Said Drew.
"Then why do you look like and smell like an ape?" ask Cynder with some anger in her voice.
"Well we are supposed to have evolved from apes." Said Drew as he brought his right hand up to rub the back of his head.
"Are you two really dragons?" ask Drew.
"What else would they be? I mean you have fought dragons before?" said Sparx as he came out of hiding.
"Who said that?" ask Drew as he looked for the voice.
"I did ape." Said Sparx and flue in front of Drew's face.
"What are you supposed to be? Some sort of firefly." Said Drew when he saw Sparx.
"I am a dragonfly you mangy ape." Drew stared at Sparx in shock.
Is that who I think it is? Thought Drew when he saw Sparx.
"Are you Sparx?" ask Drew.
"Yes I an ape." Said Sparx. "If you know my name then you must know what I can do."
"If you are who I think you are then I have nothing to worry about." Said Drew.
He then looks at Spyro and Cynder.
"And the two of you must be Spyro and Cynder."
"Yes I an Spyro and this is Cynder." Said Spyro as he introduces himself and Cynder.
"How is this possible?" said Drew.
"How is what possible?" ask Spyro.
"Look I'll answer as much of your questions as I can but we got to get you three out of sight." Said Drew as his mind fully started to realize who and what he was talking to.
"What are you talking about ape?" ask Sparx.
"Look let's just say that you three are in danger if more of my kind see you." Said Drew hoping that they would be satisfied with his answer till he could hide then at his house.
"Can we talk about this privately first?" ask Cynder.
"Sure just don't take too long." Said Drew and walk awes to give then some space.
"Ok Drew let's do a quick recap. One you have just meet three beings from a video game. Two you have in a way invited then to your home. A home that your family that does not trust you at the best of times. Have you gone crazy?" Said Drew.
"You know this is real because you felt Cynder tackle you and you know the pain in your back is real."
He looks over to were Spyro, Cynder, and Sparx were still talking.
"I hope they don't too long. Sure the town is mostly asleep now but I don't want to chance that."
Drew then thought about how he was going to explain to then were they were.
"What have you gotten yourself into Drew?"
