~Backstage~

Zayril: Another chapter up.

Alec: I am so glad I got to do Spyro and Cynder's reaction! I wanna see anyone top what I did!

Ignitus: Let me see. *reads chapter* No, I don't think anyone can top that.

Ember: What is The Other World?

Alec: It's the world of humans. I call it the Human Realms, Zayril calls it the Other World. But they are the same thing.

Kayla: What about that other Spyro reality?

Zayril: That is from my story, The Blue Dragon. Now enough questions. We're giving to much away. Do the disclaimer.

Disclaimer:

Xander: Alec and Zayril do not own any canon Spyro characters.

Kayla: They only own their OCs.

Ignitus: Mogguth is owned by the Wyrm twins, Stephanie and Sinrah VI and Holly (AKA Ortinbras Itrenore and Ashkor).

Ember: And if you don't like the story, then just don't read it.

~Chapter 12: Looking Into Other Worlds~

Xander shifted as he felt his consciousness come to. He rolled over and stretched. His joints cracked and his bones cracked as well as they returned back to their original place. He looked around and saw that he was still in the Chronicler's Cave. He sighed as he stood up and felt a bit hungry. Where was food here? Surely Ignitus ate; but where?

Feeling his stomach grumble even more, he headed outside and began to scour the caves for anything that has food in it. Like a storage room. As he did so, he passed by Alec, Sienna, Kayla, Ember, and of course Ignitus' rooms. They were all seemed to be sleeping. He entered another cave and ended up in the Chronicler's Study. There were a lot of books. Books, books and more books; he groaned as his stomach grumbled louder.

"There has to be food here somewhere…where could it be?" Xander asked himself.

"Over there," came a voice.

Xander jumped and turned around for the source of the voice. What he saw was the familiar teal dragon. It was Ignitus, a warm smile as always on his face.

"Ignitus!" he exclaimed, "I hope I didn't wake you."

He shook his head and pointed a claw to a cave entrance, "There is food there," he said.

Xander nodded and peered into the cave. What he saw made him say "Wow."

There, in front of him, was a mountain of food. Like apples, oranges, bananas. It was a mountain of fruits of different types. It made the churning in his stomach purr as he slowly approached and grabbed a red apple. He took a bite and in a matter of minutes found himself quenched and burping a small squeak. He was full.

"Where did you get all the food?" he asked to Ignitus.

"Ah, good question. When I have time, I come out to forage. And since I am only one dragon, I can accumulate a large amount of food," Ignitus answered, walking over to one bookshelf.

"What do you do here? Like in your free time?" Xander asked, walking over to him.

"Such a curious dragon…" Ignitus commented, looking at him with a raised brow. Xander just smiled sheepishly as he heard the reply, "Well," began the Chronicler, "In my free time, I look over this," he said, showing him the thing that was in the center of the room. It was like the Pool of Visions back at the Temple, except it looked grander. It had designs etched at the side and the water was darker and judging the depth of it seemed hard to do so.

"What is it?" Xander asked.

"This is what you may call, a Dimensional Basin," he answered.

"A what?" Xander asked confusedly.

"A Dimensional Basin; we are not alone Xander," said Ignitus.

"What do you mean 'we're not alone'?" Xander asked.

"Xander, we live in a type of universe that is bounded by other universes," the Chronicler said, "We live in the Dragon Realms; a Realm, or universe, where dragons are everywhere. There are other universes…that have other…unique animals. Some universes even mimic ours…but have…different settings."

"What are you saying?" Xander asked.

"I think it is best that I show you," the Chronicler said. Xander walked over next to the Chronicler and the two of them peered into the basin, "This basin allows me to view the other universes and ours as well," the Chronicler said. The water was murky and then all of a sudden, a ripple passed through it and Xander could see it clearing slightly. Then it became a clear image of something he thought he would never see again. He saw buildings, cars, humans. He saw the human world.

"What you're looking at right now is The Other World. Or your world," the Chronicler commented.

Then a ripple passed by the water, obscuring and fading the images of The Other World. It shifted to an image that seemed rather familiar again. It was the image of the Dragon Temple. There he saw Mogguth, even Liquis who were back at the Temple, he also the Guardians doing some daily tasks.

"That is how I, the Chronicler, keep in check of everyone," Ignitus commented.

Then the image shifted, and this time, there wasn't much of a difference. It was still the Temple, and he could still see the Guardians, but Mogguth and Liquis weren't there. It was new set of dragons. But what surprised him most, was that, there were four of the Guardians. There was a Fire Guardian. When he saw the scales and recognized them, he gasped.

"I know it is surprising," Ignitus said.

"What am I seeing? Is that truly Malefor?" Xander asked. But before Ignitus could answer, a new dragon came into the image. It was Spyro, with two other dragons, both of them ice dragons. They were talking with Malefor…casually.

"What you're seeing is another dimension like ours," Ignitus continued, "It's basically the same place, except, there are changes. Like in what you're seeing, Malefor is apparently the Fire Guardian there, at that universe."

"Wow…" said Xander.

It was a lot to take in. He nodded to Ignitus before going off to the side and pondering on what he had just seen. He never imagined Malefor being the Fire Guardian at another world. He felt a bit nostalgic now that he thought of his home world. He wondered how they were doing.

But he was snapped out of his musings when Ignitus called him.

X~~~~~X

Now, a few moments from earlier, everyone stood at the room where Spyro and Cynder were. Ember was hiding behind her sister Sienna, as she saw Cynder. Kayla, Xander and Alec looked on with curiosity. Ignitus was finished reanimating Spyro and Cynder. Spyro's limp body was lying at the side, his chest rising up and down. Cynder body was carried by Ignitus and was placed next to Spyro.

"Wow…" Kayla said.

"Double wow," Xander said, "I never thought I'd see them personally."

"Ditto," Alec said.

Spyro then began to open his eyes, Cynder soon after. The two dragons were obviously confused and disoriented. Spyro and Cynder looked around at the group of dragons staring back at them. Then, Spyro's eyes fell upon a certain teal dragon. A look of shock spread across his face...followed by pure terror, "G-G-G G-G G-G-GHOST!" he stuttered in pure terror before getting up and dashing out of the room.

"Ghost?" Cynder said as she looked up at the teal dragon. Then she went pale and fainted.

"I certainly did not expect that sort of reaction from them," Ignitus said as he witnessed the events.

"I would've expected Spyro to be happy to see you," Xander said.

That sure was some reaction that Spyro and Cynder had to Ignitus. I don't think anyone can out match that reaction. Please R&R
