During the 17 year gap between Bilbo's 111 birthday party and the Journey

Gandalf was studying all he could about the ring and so far he found out how to identify it. He knocked a scroll over and it turned out to be notes from Mordor. This intrigued the wizard.

None of it seemed to be worth his time until he saw that Sauron was building an army worthy of Melkor and he had communication with other worlds. It talked about how Maiar have the potential to use Valar abilities to Speak with those who are in another realm. This seemed too far-fetched for an old wizard and he passed it up although he did read the entire thing.

"Rubbish, sounds like goblin mischief," Gandalf said returning to his studies.

That night while Gandalf was asleep and Ignitus was doing research of his own. He saw that some apes and Grublins had survived but ignored it. However in the book of passed dragons he noticed something that scared him. Malefor wasn't there!

"How is this possible?" He asked "Wait could this be connected to my vision?"

As he pondered the possibility of his theory he realized that been confirmed only a necromancer could bring Malefor back to life and there are none. "I must find answers,"

Spyro told Cynder and Sparx what Ignitus told him ans they where shocked. "More worlds? I'd rather go back to the swamp," Sparx said.

"If their at war we should help," Cynder said "If only we could."

"Oh sure help from "The Evil She Dragon" you'd turn on whoever they are and eat them!" Sparx exclaimed.

"Sparx be nice to Cynder for once," Spyro scolded.

Cynder gritted her teeth and glared at Sparx which scared him enough to shut him up. "How could we help people from another world anyway?" Spyro asked.

"I don't know," Cynder responded.

Spyro then fell unconscious. "Spyro? SPYRO!?" Cynder questioned and just like that she soon fell as well.
