Spyro had been feeling very relieved ever since a few Days ago. He did not know what had been causing him to act the way that he did. He had been very paranoid and somewhat corrupted. He looked in the Skylands Guide for Magical Objects, but found nothing for reference. He looked in every Dark Spells book that could tell him where or what had made him act the way that he did. He then chose to use something that he had kept a secret for a long time. He only told Cynder what he had in his possession.
In the raid on Strykore's castle, he had gone to scout out. He had barely avoided being spotted by Strykore and saw he was leaving the Incantantion Chamber. He snuck in there and saw a book labeled, The Necotramian: Darkest Incantations and Objects to Rule The Skylands. It was an illigal spell book filled with the darkest spells and objects. With the right incantation, that book could re-awaken the dead. Spyro never used it as it was an illegal spell book. He looked in the Necotramian. He found something.
He found out the Scepter of Darkness was behind his behavior. He sealed the Necotramian in a locked chest that one but a dragon could break. Little did he know that Dark Spyro was watching from above. He had no intention of reporting the book's location or Spyro's possession, in fact, Dark Spyro needed that book for a very important cause. That night, using extra caution not to make a sound, he came in and swiped the book from the chest. He ran out of the house and to a near cave.
There, the Dragon of Time was waiting for him. "Ah, you got it." he said gratefully. Dark Spyro was still worried about the plan that the Dragon of Time had. "You know, I still cannot believe you are actually doing this Dragon of Time. I mean, you are essential to teach Spyro Dragon Time, he still has some trouble controlling it sometimes." but the Dragon of time stopped him there. "Actually, I am no longer going to be the Dragon of Time Dark Spyro, I have decided to give that title to the one I have found to be most fit fo the job.".
Dark Spyro said, "Who is it going to be, one of the masters? Malefor? Maybe even Spyro?". The Dragon of Time smiled. "No, not at all my friend, I have decided, to have you, be the new Dragon of Time." he said. Dark Spyro was astounded. "M-m-me? B-b-but th-th-there are so m-many other g-good ones other th-than me. Why m-me?" he stuttered. Storm-Bringer smiled even wider. "You are the most fit for the title. You, as I can sense, have a much better understanding of the ways of Dragon Time." he said slowly.
The former Dragon of Time gave Dark Spyro his chain with the clock. He also said to him, "When I do die, I want you to give Spyro this." he said when he held out his secret project. It was a shifting dragon crystal lens. Dark Spyro held these two items in his hand. He looked at Stormbringer and said, "I must say, that it was an honor to serve beside you Master. Your memory will never be forgotten as long as I live.". Stormbringer smiled. "You are dissmissed, Dragon of Time." he said as he turned away.
After Dark Spyro had left, Stormbringer took out the Necotramian and enchanted, "Sluos ruo enibmoc, flesym, noitpurroc fo retpecs.". He combined with the Scepter of Corruption, tying his life force to the scepter. He had planned for this to happen. He had created the Scepter himself, and he would be the one to destroy it. He put the Necotramian back in it's case. Spyro woke up the next day, oblivious as to what had just happened. He had to teach today, and today was a test day. The cadets were going to fight himself.
Spyro looked at the time. He found that it was almost time to go to teach. He had a little more of a challenge that day. He did not go full force on them. That would be disasterous. He put a limit on himself to only use fire and earth. Krypt King was noticably more eager for these battles for he disliked Spyro to a huge extent. He struck first with his sword which bounced harmlessly off Spyro's scales but did knock Spyro back a couple of feet. From that, Gear Shift used a Gear toss combined with Magic from Voodood.
Spyro was able to block most of the force. He attacked and soon he was turning the tides. After the class was over, Spyro wondered how he was going to motivate them to fight their hardest ever. Several months passed and Spyro was getting anxious. They had barely been able to keep Spyro at bay for the whole class. He wasn't defeating them, but they weren't winning either. Luckily, one of his favorite days was right around the corner. April first. Nobody had looked at their calender so it was all too easy.
His pranks were the envy of Camo, one of the biggest pranksters of all time. He and Spyro had met once, and Spyro was able to prank Camo so hard, he had to hold onto the wall to keep himself up as he was laughing so hard. Cynder had watched the whole exchange and the expression on Camo's face was priceless. It was a confused face saying something in between What just happened? and How did I get pranked? . He was eventually laughing his head off. Spyro racked up the highest prank count of any Skylander ever.
After that, testing week had come up, where Spyro would have to push them to their limits. He was worried about how the cadets would react if a real battle came their way. After test week, was the five month long summer. Spyro could finally kick back and have some quality time with Cynder. He saw Dark Spyro later that day. He was sporting a new watch that draped over his neck like a necklace. It looked like the one wore by the dragon of time. Spyro commented and Dark Spyro did something very unexpected.
He did not reply, instead went rigid and looked ahead, like when King Pen had been rescued from a Fire Viper and Spyro asked him about what he said in the belly of the Fire Viper. Spyro tried to talk with him but Dark Spyro refusing to say a word. Spyro was a little uncomfortable seeing Dark Spyro like that. Dark Spyro turned and walked away. Spyro was unnerved by this event, but quickly got over it. He went on his merry way. Meanwhile, Spyro did not know there was a letter on the side of his bed.
It was something that Stormbringer had written. Spyro was unable to see it as it was under a magic enchantment. Dark Spyro knew of it's existance but did not tell anyone. He was under strict orders from Stormbringer. Dark Spyro had one of his own. He was able to read his, but he decided to not do that. Dark Spyro did not like the plan that Stormbringer had, but he knew that the prophecy that Stormbringer had mentioned would never allow Spyro to interfere with his plans.
The prophecy was: The purple dragon shall not interfere, the first of the greatest shall be no more, the weapon of the first shall be there, to knock the Darkness through the dimentional door. Dark Spyro knew what those lines meant, but he was forbidden to tell anyone. He swore to himself that he would not let his master and friend down after he had gone through so much trouble. He saw Spyro the next day and was put through a very tough situation, one of the hardest he had ever had in his life.
He did not want Stormbringer to die, but on the other hand, he wanted to keep the Skylands alive. He knew that prophecies should not be tampered with. He was going to make his master proud. He avoided conversing with Spyro. Spyro, meanwhile, was very suspicious about the abnormal behavior that Dark Spyro was displaying. He observed him all the time, and tried to converse with him at every given moment, and even tried to spy in him. Spyro found absolutely nothing about what was going on with Dark Spyro.
He decided to stop investigating his twin as he knew that Whatever Dark Spyro was keeping was not for him to know. He had heard rumours of a prophecy that the next battle to be fought was to seal the Darkness away for sixteen years. He would love that. He was disheartened by thinking how it was only a rumour. He decided to train anyway. He knew that whatever battle came his way, he should be ready for it. That was that. He needed to get stronger in case the Darkness was somehow stronger.
He pushed this to the back of his head and started to train. He broke his record time and time again. He beat Stealth Elf's record that she had while teleporting. He considered that a new personal best. He was the fastest one in the skylands, able to outrace the Superchargers at full speed, that could go ten times the speed of light. He decided to stop training for today as it was getting very late and he was getting tired. He wasn't easily tired unless he was training very hard. He went to bed and mentally prepared for the upcoming battle.
