Chapter 1: an Amethyst egg
"I have it! I have it!" A lightning Dragoness rushed in, carrying an amethyst egg as a much older fire dragon supervised her return.
"Good job, Electra, put it with the others" he told Electra as she placed it in the pile of dragon eggs.
"It wasn't easy, Ignitus, Malefor's forces were swarming the forest" she explained as Ignitus nodded, clearly deep in thought.
"Electra, my dear, you returned safely, has any damage been done to your exterior?" Another Lightning Dragon entered.
"Oh Volteer, I'm fine, you worry too much" her tail passionately slid across his chin as he quivered.
"Electra, I don't know how you do it, but you are the only one who can quell Volteer's electric tongue" an Ice dragon joined them as she smiled.
"It doesn't take much, Cyril, you've just been doing it wrong all these years" she wittingly replied as a Earth Dragon entered.
"Ignitus, Incendia desperately wishes to speak with you" he informed Ignitus.
"Thank you Terrador for the information, keep watch of the eggs, there may be many, but we cannot lose a single one" he instructed Terrador as he nodded. Ignitus exited to see Incendia waiting for him.
"My dearest, what is the trouble?" He asked her.
"Ignitus, we have a problem, we're missing one of the eggs, a fear-type to be exact, we have a Shadow one though to replace them, would two Shadow Dragons be an issue?" She explained as Ignitus thought long and hard about it.
"These dragons are the generation that will free our world from Malefor's clutches, I'm certain that replacing a Fear egg with a Shadow egg will be fine, just as long as we do not lose the purple egg" Ignitus allowed it as Incendia nodded.
"Very good, I'll start preparing for the hatching" she replied as she nuzzled him, and left Ignitus to return to the eggs, and shoved away Cyril, who was inspecting the eggs of the ice dragons.
"Keep your distance, Cyril, I fear your obsessiveness and cold-blooded body will cause the eggs to die on the spot" Ignitus wittingly commented as the Ice Guardian gave a slight puff of irritation.
"I was not checking for my own gain, I merely wanted to see where my egg is, Glacia asked me to check through and find it" he replied as Volteer sighed.
"Sometimes it perplexes me how you even managed to swoon Glacia, she's practically the opposite of you" Volteer remarked as Electra leaned against him.
"It wasn't swooning, we simply were made for each other" he stated as Terrador chuckled.
"I guess opposites do attract, so to speak" he pointed out as Cyril gave him a glare, just then, an Earth Dragoness entered.
"Oh Terrador, are you complaining again?" She asked.
"Of course not, Gaia, just Cyril being Cyril" he replied as Gaia nuzzled him.
"All you, I suggest you stand back, the eggs will hatch, and I'm not sure we should startle the little ones" Ignitus had them step back as the Purple egg started to shake and crack.
"It is hatching..." Cyril trailed off.
"Any other astute observations?" Volteer sarcastically asked as Electra looked at him with "the look" causing Volteer to shut his mouth, eventually the egg cracked open and a little purple and gold dragon made a little cooing noise as he emerged, much to Ignitus's joy.
"I just wish I could've gotten both the Parents and the Egg, but they were slaughtered..." Electra appeared saddened as Volteer comforted her.
"There, there, Electra, there is nothing you could've done, you would've been killed too, and I would've been lost without you" he replied as she smiled.
"Yes, without you, there'd be no one to shut Volteer's mouth" Cyril joked as Ignitus paid no attention, and simply gently nudged the purple dragon.
"What should we call him?" Incendia's statement startled Ignitus.
"I don't know how you do that..." he replied as she chuckled.
"I think a name of royalty is in order, how about Kojurno?" Cyril's suggestion earned him a whack on the head from Volteer's tail, then Ignitus noticed a poster on the wall, the Spyronius Torneamentum.
"How about...Spyro?" Ignitus suggested as Incendia nuzzled him.
"That sounds wounderful" she smiled as one of the Black eggs hatched and revealed a small black dragoness.
"Now she's beautiful..." Gaia complimented as she started shivering in the cold, immediately the baby Spyro treaded carefully over the eggs and let her lean against him, accepting his body heat.
"I think I know what this little lady will be called..." Ignitus trailed off as he looked at the moonlight.
Present day
A loud bell rang throughout the Courtyard as a multitude of young dragons were awakening for another day of classes, one specifically bore a purple and gold color palette, it was Spyro, as he yawned and leaped out of his bed and stretched, he immediately entered his bathroom to shower, he turned the dials to just the right temperature, and stepped in as the steaming water hit his scales.
"Always a good feeling" he thought to himself as he washed himself clean, and let the water sink beneath his scales, causing him to sigh in pleasure, eventually he gave in and turned off the shower and dried himself. As he walked up to the mirror, he inspected his teeth and brushed them clean, he had pretty much done everything he needed to, he walked out and picked up his book bag, he just hoped he'd reach Cyril's ice projectile lessons before it started, you see, each Dragon has at least one class. There are 8 in total, primary and secondary elemental classes, normally, since most of the Dragons had one element, they only had one class and the rest of the day was their free time, but for Spyro, being a purple dragon meant he could master multiple elements, he had to attend all the primary element classes, thankfully he still had lots of free time due to the Secondary classes, as he opened the door, he looked to his right and ventured out onto the main fields of their home, the Temple was always gorgeous in the early morning and at dusk.
"This is my home, and I love it" he smiled as he prepared for classes, and tried to remember where the Ice Dojo was.
"Oh yeah, third to the left, duh" he shook his head as he was on his way, leaving the rest the dragons as they were still waking up, eventually he found the Ice Dojo, with it's blue markings, as he opened the door, he remembered the elemental feel of the place, the ice crystals sticking out of the walls as the ice banner hung in the air.
"Early again, Spyro?" He turned to see Cyril and Glacia walking up to him.
"I am? I could've sworn I'd be here like everyone else" he replied, a little embarrassed as Glacia smiled.
"Out of all the dragons, the fact that you are early can prove to be a great sign of respect" she replied as Cyril agreed.
"Yes, and it shows how dedicated you are too studying the element of Ice, those ungrateful lizards are always late, except for a few, I must say, the batch of Ice Dragons we've received have been nothing but trouble" Cyril added as Glaicia giggled.
"They remind me of you, and pardon my statement, but I remember it being you who filled their heads will delusions of grandeur" she remarked as Cyril sighed in defeat.
"Yes, I suppose, the only one whose humble and dedicated is our own son, Shard, speaking of which, there he is" Cyril replied as Spyro turned to see Shard walking in with his own book bag.
"Morning Dad, hey Spyro" he greeted the purple dragon as he high-tailed him.
"The only two respectable dragons in our class are also friends, that is a gift" Cyril bluntly added as Glacia nodded in agreement, Shard was one of Spyro's friends, he didn't have too many considering he was "the dragon of destiny", he was mostly shunned by other the Dragons for his uniqueness, only at least one dragon from each of the primary elements befriended him, Shard was one of those people, amidst the fire dragons, his friend was Flame, who was in a relationship with Flare, the daughter of Ignitus, who for Spyro, represented the only father figure he'd ever known, for Earth, his friend was Terrain, the highly respected son of Terrador, and lightning was Alastor, the just as chatty, if not more chatty son of Volteer, they were his circle of friends, and the only Dragons whose names he remembered, strictly because no one bothered to befriend him.
"I take it your both ready for today's lesson? It will prove whether or not you are worthy to wield the element of Ice" Cyril told them as they both nodded.
"Well, and right on time, here come the other Ice Dragons" Glacia informed them as they saw the rest of the Ice Dragons approaching from the entrance.
"Good morning, class, I take it you all studied hard and well for your exam today, and you have mastered your Ice projection" Cyril announced as they confirmed his statement.
"Well, then I'm certainly excited to see what you've learned, let the trials begin" he had each of the students perform their Ice projectiles, it went by one by one, everyone performed admirably, finally, it was Shard's turn.
"Now, young chap, impress us all" Cyril had his son step up and prepare to perform his move set, and so he did, and rather impressively, he hit 2 bullseyes, whereas most of the others got only one.
"Excellent work, Shard, and of course, we've saved the best for last, Spyro, my boy, show us how it's done" Cyril looked at the purple dragon as he walked up to the stand, and his throat illuminated a bright white, which to the Ice Dragons, was always a sight to see, since they all shared the same color of their element, they could never see the illumination of the power, but since Spyro was a Purple Dragon, he alone was the only one with that effect, as his throat illuminated brightly, his mouth showed signs of frost and he blasted a series of little Icey spears from his maw, and getting multiple bullseyes, shocked and amazed.
"It looks like the Purple Dragon did his homework..." one Ice Dragon whispered to Shard as he agreed, he wasn't as surprised, he'd known Spyro for years, his skills always overclassed his own, he was the most powerful Dragon in the Temple, Shard had expected something like this as Cyril shared the surprise.
"Well, that was certainly something, though I shouldn't be surprised, you are the Purple Dragon, after all" he pointed out.
"Since we've managed to finish our tests, class has been dismissed early, me and Cyril will grade your assignments and you'll have your results within the week" Glacia dismissed the students as they left.
"Hey Spyro..." Shard started as he looked in interest.
"Yeah, Shard?" He asked.
"Since your class with Ignitus doesn't start for like, 30 minutes, do you want to try and find everyone else?" He suggested as Spyro thought about it.
"Sure, why not?" He shrugged, just then he heard a voice calling to them.
"Shard!" Both Spyro and Shard turned to see Rose, a Fear Dragoness (ironically) run up to them and greet them.
"Hello Spyro, hey sweetie" she nuzzled Shard, Secondary Elemental Dragons weren't usually in relationships with Primary elemental Dragons, the historical texts considered it an abnormal occurrence when it happened, the genes of Secondary Dragons and Primary Dragons weren't usually made to mix, however, if they did have an egg, the chances of the Hatchling possessing both of it's parents elements were highly common, Spyro did a lot of reading in his spare time, and overall, it was accepted amongst all Dragons.
"So what are you doing?" She asked them.
"We were just heading to find the others, you included" Shard informed Rose as her tail coiled around his, and she decided to come with.
"Let's go, then" Spyro interrupted their nuzzling to go and find his other friends, as they walked through the field, all the Dragons were chatting, playing, and/or doing other miscellaneous things, eventually they found his other friends lounging by a patch of boulders that were being warmed by the sun.
"Oh hey, Spyro, class got out early?" Flame asked as he and Flare were laying on one of the boulders.
"Yeah, luckily" he replied as Shard and Rose chose one of the open rocks to rest on, leaving Spyro to lay in the fields of grass, Alastor was laying on one of the rocks comfortably as his girlfriend, Terra, walked over, and joined him.
"So How was the exam, Spyro?" Terrain asked eagerly.
"Remember, Terrain, if he doesn't want to answer, don't force it on him" his own girlfriend, Scatha, pointed out as he sighed.
"I know, I know, but I want to know" he responded as Spyro smiled at his enthusiasm.
"It was fine, nothing special" Spyro's answer made Shard a little irritated.
"It was nothing!? Spyro, you practically earned the highest grade on the exam, you used almost the same amount of energy as an Ice Fury, which takes years to master" Shard's explaination made the others grow eager.
"Spyro, you can't brush off everything like it's nothing, so far, you've outclassed every one of us in our elements, minus Rose, because you don't use Secondary Elements, your something special" Flame pointed out as Spyro sighed.
"I know, I know, but...you know what the texts said about Malefor, his overconfidence led to his greedy desire to master all the elements, which plunged him into the dark influence of Aether, I don't want to be like him" Spyro explained.
"Spyro, there is a 1000 to 1 probability that you will turn out just like Malefor, and I say that in the most understandable way I know" Alastor told him as Terra agreed.
"Your nothing like Malefor, for one thing, I bet he didn't possess such a great sense of humor, or your charisma, and definatly not your generosity" Shard reassured him.
"Yeah, then I wouldn't be so sure that I trust you" Spyro looked up to see a little Dragonfly.
"Sparx! When did you get here?" Spyro asked as he shrugged.
"Eh, not too long ago, just wanted to catch up with my good buddy" he replied as Spyro smirked.
"Well, it's good to see you" Spyro told him, suddenly he felt a rock hit the back of his head, but his Earth abilities absorbed the blow, he stood up and turned to face his attacker of sorts, it was a Shadow Dragoness, his biggest hater, she despised him, like most of the Secondary elemental dragons, they weren't fans of the Purple Dragon, the others stood up in response to this as well, looking quite provoked.
"Looks like I caught you at a good time, you purple lug!" She spat at him as he appeared unfazed.
"What do you want?" He asked calmly.
"It looks like class ended early for you, so I figure, why not have a sparring match? You talk so highly of your abilities, why not see how you fair against a living Dragon?" She challenged as Spyro sighed, he didn't need this.
"Hey man, you can kick her butt, just shoot some magic out of your face" Sparx whispered in his ear.
"Alright, I accept, let's go to the arena" he told her as she grinned.
"My pleasure" she had all the students follow and they were prepared to watch an interesting fight, in all honesty, Spyro had never fought a Secondary element dragon.
"You'll get her, Spyro, I'm sure of it" Flare encouraged him as he smiled nervously, and they walked to the arena for their "sparring match".
(That's the kick-off for my next big project people, that's right, Dawn of Amnesty is going to be long! L-O-N-G baby, so, as one expects, none of the chapters are prewritten, and like a Crystal Flame, this will be released alongside other stories I'll publish, like Spyro: Worlds of the past, anyways, I hope you enjoy, this took lots of time to write)
