Spyro and the Iron Gates of the Fairy Realm
Chapter II - Golathe
Spyro and Sparx rushed up to the Elders Main Common Room, where all the oldest and wisest dragons disscussed any problems that were happening in the land lately. Spyro rushed through the large oak door without knocking and talking with several burly dragons was non other then Zoe the fairy, Elora's friend who had helped Spyro on his adventure in Avalar a couple of years ago.
"Zoe? What're you doing here? What's going on?" asked Spyro as everyone turned to look at him when he entered the room with Sparx. He glanced at the oldest and wisest of the Elders. "What's happening? Why is Zoe here?"
"Calm down young one, we understand that you will want to know what is happening in the land. You may be needed to go and help the fairy. She and her friends are in trouble and you will probably need to go and help them. You have been on many adventures before and helped many people." The old one paused, a warm look in his eyes. "I trust you will not turn down a chance of another adventure?"
Spyro frowned slightly. He was just trying to rest after his other adventure. But you love adventures, and who are you to turn one down? Go on! You know you want to. Spyro heard a small voice in his head. He wanted to rest but...his heart tugged at the thought of another adventure, he wanted it so badly. It would be so much fun, just like old times. And if the Elders agreed with it....well, maybe he should? They were asking him to go on an adventure, for goodness sake and it wasn't often that that happened. The other adventures that he had been on happened by accident. Either that or there were certain conditions and....well, he was the only one for the job. The Elders knew he liked adventures and now they were giving him a chance to have another crack at it. And it was something he loved to do!
"No," he answered, a wide grin spreading across his face, "I'd love to go on an adventure. But what's going on? Why am I going on an adventure? Tell, tell!"
"Well..." said a younger Elder, shooting an awkward glance at Zoe and looking slightly embarrassed. "We don't know all the full details but what we do know sounds a bit unsafe for such a dragon of your size......you are rather young..." He looked at the Elder who had suggested Spyro. "Are you sure he's up for the job, Pholyare?"
"Yes, Lohan. I am sure that Spyro will do us proud. He has proved himself a good few times before." Pholyare smiled at Spyro.
"Yes, but shouldn't we send someone older or wiser?"
"Lohan, in case you haven't noticed, the wisest of us aren't agile enough and the agile aren't wise enough. Spyro will do just fine." He surveyed Spyro carefully. "He must first know what is happening. Zoe, please explain..." Zoe glanced at Spyro, shooting him with a quick knowledgeable grin before beginning to talk.
"Well, Spyro, as you've noticed, the weather is behaving very oddly, and this doesn't go down well with anybody. People have starting complaining, because it's the fairies that control the weather. But it isn't our fault that the weather's gone hay-wire. Golathe has invaded the fairy realm. He is an evil sorcerer and will stop at nothing to get the power he wants. He has turned our beautiful world, and many others around it, into metal mayhem. He has created robots to destroy the land and has turned all the natural things to metal. It's all computerised so that only he can control it all. We don't know much about it but if we get help we may be able to find the source of it and his headquarters so that we can stop him. I only just managed to escape and he has captured all of the other fairies and trapped them in iron cages and hidden them all over. It's kind of hard to explain so I think I should take you to see for yourself." Zoe looked very upset after saying all this and Spyro was raring to help her and begin another quest.
"OK, let's go! Where is the entrance to the fairy realm?" Spyro asked, an eager look on his face.
"The entrance lies beyond the Golden Gates. But Golathe and his minions have transformed it into a pair of huge, ugly Iron Gates. We'll go there to start off."
"Great! What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Spyro cried. Zoe nodded and flew out of the large open window, now framing a golden sky. Spyro perched on the window sill, ready to take off and glide after her.
"Spyro?" came the deep voice of Pholyare.
"Yes?" said Spyro, turning his head to see that all the other Elders had left the room.
"Be careful, OK?"
"Yeah, I will be." Spyro grinned. He turned back to face the hazy evening and stretched out his wings. "See ya soon!" He yelled behind him as he leapt off the ledge and soared round the courtyard, out the castle and towards the horizon, following the fleck of gold that was Zoe and Sparx hot on his trail, just behind like the faithful companion he is.
