Remember me Skylanders

by DJester

*Season 3 spoilers*. Its finally over the skylanders have won, but not everyone is happy. Spyro cannot get over that Eon is gone and he never got the answers about his past, his family. In the shadows a new figure emerges and makes the wildest of claims. "The answer you seek Spyro lie in my name." First work.

6. Chapter 5: Who am I?

Author's Notes:

Hey everyone, sorry for taking so long to make this come out, you would not believe the past two weeks that I just went through. Any-who, the newest chapter of Remember me Skylanders is here and I am really excited about this one. But before that I wanted to ask a question to my audience:

"Would you guys and girls be interested in a different story while this one goes on break?"

I am not saying that that is what is going to happen but rather I am on the fence about doing this and I wanted to see what you all wanted, as I love seeing people read my story. But as much as I want to write two stories, I cannot do two at a time, as I know I don't really have it in me to get both stories done in a reasonable time without risking sacrificing the quality. Let me know what you guys think, also if someone can teach me how to use the poll thing on this site that would be great. Thanks for reading and happy holidays.

Also, just because I like to fact check, and for the sake of comedy, I am ignoring the time in which Spyro put on shoes to model his man crush with Crash. If you don't know what I am talking about good for you for forgetting that episode in season 1. If you do know what I am talking about good for you, please don't comment on it. I am begging you. 😊.

Enjoy the show

Chapter 5: Who am I?

Spyro's Dream

The pull was becoming a familiar feeling to Spyro. He remembers when he first had these dreams and how bazar and out-of-place, he felt being in a different but similar body. Now, after over a week of having these dreams every time he goes to sleep, Spyro feels oddly comfortable being here in his dream. Like when breaking in to a new shoe, only he never knew what that feels like since he never wore shoes.

Going in and out of his dreams like this for a while has caused a serious problem for Spyro's mind. He has a hard time telling when he is dreaming or not. His perspective is the same and the more time he spends in his dreams the more familiar he becomes with it, so much so that there has been multiple times when he thought he was somewhere in Skylands when he was still dreaming. The one thing that helped him find the difference was that in his dream he could do things that he couldn't while awake. Shattering the earth beneath him, freezing enemies where they stand, or even causing an electrical storm to come from nowhere. 'This had to be the work of a dream,' Spyro thought 'there is no other way to explain this.'

Spyro's vison begins to clear and he is walking down a hallway. The feelings that he got from Other Spyro told him that he was familiar with this place. However, this time Spyro recognized the hall that he was in. It was the same hallway that he saw in his first dream. The only difference was that this time he was walking in what he thought was during the daytime, considering that there were strands of sunlight coming in through the holes in the walls above. Spyro approached the door like last time, but this time the door was slightly ajar, allowing his small frame to squeeze right through without touching anything.

Spyro felt a large urge to need to see what was on the other side of the door, partially to find out what is on the other side but partially because Other Spyro wanted to go as well. That was another thing that was becoming hard to tell apart for Spyro, he couldn't tell whether he wanted to do things or if Other Spyro wanted to do it and he just picked it up. Regardless of who's feelings it belonged to, Spyro went inside. What he saw took Spyro's, metal, breath away.

Inside was four large and somewhat old looking dragons, each standing around a large circular object that sat low on the ground. Upon further inspection Spyro recognized it to be a similar object to what he saw in his second dream, only this time it was larger. Each dragon looked away from the mirror and turned their gaze at Spyro.

The closest on to him on his left was a green colored dragon with several cuts and scrapes on his body. His body looked sturdy and strong, he gave the impression that you definitely wouldn't want to get on his bad side.

The dragon sitting behind him on Spyro's left side was a blue dragon. He looked to be a stark contrast to the green one in front of him as he looked to be frailer. The color of his scales was hard to describe as towards the bottom of his talons his color appears light and soft. But the higher you looked the more the color begins to change to a darker and colder shade of blue. And although the blue dragon didn't look as fierce as the green one the way that he sat gave him a cold appearance as if he could calmly look at the situation and make decisions that could give others the chills.

The dragon that was in front and on the right of Spyro was yellow. This one seemed the most out of place in comparison to the rest of the dragons in the room as he seemed the weakest of them all, being very slender. The thing that stuck out to Spyro was that he was holding a large book under one of his talons, with the spine facing Spyro. Unfortunately, Spyro could not yet read anything that this world had, and he doubted that he really wanted to know. But judging by the number of symbols on the spines cover, Spyro could guess that that book wasn't an easy read.

The last dragon in the room was the first to notice him and point Spyro out when he entered the room. This dragon was red by color with a yellow like underbelly. He looked to be a physical mix of the three other dragons in the room being bulky in some areas and slim in others. But there was something else about this dragon in particular, something that you could tell only by looking him in the eyes. A passion. Like those you see in a few people who talk about their big dreams in life and how they plan on achieving them. This is the feeling that Spyro got when he looked into the red dragons' eyes, that made him feel a warmth.

'Ignitus'

That was the name of the red dragon. Spyro wasn't sure how he knew this but some how he did. 'Must have been the other me telling me things again' Spyro thought, 'I have never seem him before in my life.' Spyro started to feel the pull of waking up as the visons around him started to blur but right before he woke up, he heard Ignitus call out "Hello young Spyro."

Back in the Falling Forest

Spyro woke having a small ray of light strike his eyes making it hard for him to see, everything around him appeared blurry and his hearing wasn't back yet as everything sounded muffled to him. His back was hurting him as he tired to get up and move around only to find that a hand was trying to gently push him down. Spyro looked in the direction of where the hand was located and as his vision was starting to clear he thought he was still dreaming.

In front of him stood Stealth Elf kneeling down and looking at Spyro's side. Spyro looked around and saw that Jet-Vac and Eruptor were both aiming their weapons at Dreamcatcher while Pop Fizz was keeping a lookout from the cave that he was in. "Who are you?!" Spyro shouted as he immediately backed away from what appeared to be Stealth Elf, getting ready to attack at a moment's notice.

Stealth Elf was shocked to see that Spyro didn't recognize her immediate and truth is it hurt her a little, but right now she was trying to save a teammate and friend, so her feelings took second right now. "Spyro, it is me Stealth Elf, do you remember who I am?" She said comely as to try to show that she and the rest of the team meant no harm to him. The same could not be said for Dreamcatcher. Stealth Elf has dealt with her before and she knows full well how powerful and dangerous Dreamcatcher can be. If she finds out that Dreamcatcher was behind all of this, it wouldn't surprise her.

"Your lying! there is no way that you could be Elf." Spyro said angerly with pain in his voice. He looked down and away from Stealth Elf and whispered something. It was too quiet for the rest of the Skylanders to hear but, thanks to Stealth Elf's ears, she could hear it just fine. "I am the one who hurt her and the rest of the Skylanders."

"It really is me Spyro!" Stealth Elf says with passion in her tone trying to convince her friend that she is telling the truth. "We came looking for you the moment we found out that you were here, and you never hurt us Spyro, and even if you did, we know you didn't do it on purpose. We know that you would never do that to us." Stealth Elf was speaking for the rest of the team, but she knew that everyone else felt the same way. When she found out that Spyro was turned evil by Strykore, she was the first one to ask how they can change him back. She knew that they had to do whatever it takes to bring the Spyro that they know back.

Spyro snaps his head back to face Stealth Elf and shouts back at her, "Well I did. And even if it wasn't intentional did you know that I could even do that? Cause I didn't. And the more I think about that the more scared I am about myself. What if I can do other things that could hurt you or anyone else that I care about?" Spyro's voice starts to drop slowly in volume until it reaches a whisper. "What do I do when I find out that I could accidentally kill someone, I don't know what I can do and neither does anyone. Eon's gone, and he was the only one that was able to give me answers because he destroyed the evidence to try to hide the truth from me. Now I am the last of my kind in the world were the last thing they did was being turned evil by Strykore and then sent away or killed by Eon."

The entire cave was silent when Spyro took a breath for himself. Daring not to disrupt him in his fragile state. Those that were close enough could see tears starting to form in Spyro's eyes desperate to make his voice as clear as possible, trying to cover up how much he truly felt. "I am a walking, ticking bomb of I don't even know what and I was trying to cover it up by pretending that everything was going to be fine. 'I am never going to find out anything more about my ancestors, or my parents anymore' that thought went through my head trying to make it easier for me to move on. Then this Jester guy shows up and tells me EXACTLY what I wanted to hear the most. 'I know about you and your kind'." Spyro knew that he was getting off topic, but he felt like he needed to get this off his chest, it was now or never for him, and he knew he needed it now. "So, I do believe that you are Elf, but I won't go back with you, I cannot, not after everything that I did, or what I can do later. I don't want to hurt you guys or anyone if I can help it…. I'm sorry"

Stealth Elf looked at Spyro as he walked past her with his head hung low. Just before Spyro could leave the cave Stealth Elf popped right in front of Spyro with a stern look on her face. "Well sorry but I think that is a team decision, on whether or not you need to leave or not. I vote that you can stay."

Eruptor looked at Stealth Elf and wondered what she was trying to do but then quickly figured it out and shouted. "I second that motion."

Jet-Vac picking up where Eruptor left off replied, "I also agree, that Spyro should stay."

Pop-Fizz who jumped in the middle of everyone shouted in his usual tone, "I don't know what is really going on here, but there is no way I want Spyro to leave so I say that he stays."

Stealth Elf smiles seeing that everyone knew what she was trying to do and a quick look at Spyro's face gave her all she needed to see that it worked. "Well that settles it. A unanimous vote on yes. Looks like you don't get to leave us that easy." She says this as she puts her arm around Spyro's neck and rubs her fist quickly on his head getting a playful laugh out of Spyro.

"Heheh," Spyro needed that laugh more then anything right now and seeing that his friends wanted to stick with him through thick or thin was a huge help for him. But there was something untrue about what Stealth Elf had just said. "Wait a minute, how could it be unanimous if I haven't voted yet?"

Stealth Elf laughed as she let go of Spyro and looked him straight in the eyes in said, "You would have to be a part of the team to vote meaning that you cannot say that you aren't off the team yet. But if you want to vote go ahead but for some reason, I think I can only hear 'Yes's' right now so…"

This got another laugh out of Spyro and the rest of the people in the cave, save for one. "Uh, if you guys are done with being gross and all I am going to leave." Dreamcatcher says with her normal attitude in her tone trying to quickly float away form the rest of the Skylanders.

"Not so fast Dreamcatcher," Spyro shouts, "you still need to tell me what it is that you saw, and I mean everything." Spyro was so caught up in the moment that he nearly forgot why he asked for her help to begin with. He needed to know what was going on in his head, he knew that it was related to what was happening, but he wanted to know how and why, if she could provide it.

"Fine, but you got to let me and the rest of the Raiders out of whatever you got going on because we got nothing to do with it." Spyro quickly gave a nod before anyone else could say anything. Dreamcatcher sighs, "Simply put you weren't dreaming."

"What do you mean I wasn't dreaming?!" Spyro questioned

"I don't know how else to say it. When you went to sleep, and I entered your dream world I saw you lying on the ground asleep. You were muttering something under your breath." The entire cave looked at her with suspicion. "It sounds just as weird to you as it does to me. My whole powers are based on that I can enter anyone's dreams and have fun with them, but I couldn't even do anything to touch you. It was like you were dragged deeper into yourself. Anyways that is all I know so I am out of here." And with that Dreamcatcher quickly left the cave leaving the rest of the Skylanders.

As the Skylanders leave the cave Kaos approaches them looking dirtier then when Spyro left him. Spyro and the rest of the Skylanders didn't need to ask to know that he got into a fight with the Doom Raiders and lost. As they were walking back to the vehicles, Spyro filled everyone up on everything that happened in the time that he was gone, including about the dreams that he was having. He agreed that he should have told someone about them before, but he told them that he really didn't want to, and the matter seemed to be dropped. They had just reached the vehicles when Spyro asks, "So how did you guys come out of that blast that I made?"

Pop Fizz responded, "Well that is the weird part, but believe it or not Jester…"

Pop Fizz never got to finish his sentence as Jester made a sudden appearance in front of everyone. Everyone, save Kaos, took a fighting position reading themselves against him. Eruptor then made the most appropriate comment he could make in this situation, "Speak of the devil".

Earlier in Jester's hideout

Rage.

Rage was the only thing that Jester could feel right now, and he hated it.

Hatred and Rage.

This feeling was not uncommon to Jester, but he knew what was coming next and he knew that he wasn't going to like it.

Hatred, Rage, then Sorrow.

'That is enough emotion for now,' Jester thought as he tried to calm himself down. One would think that after 10,000 years you would be able to control your emotions to the point where they are no longer a problem, they would be right, if you ignore Jester's existence. No power comes without price. That phrase has been used so much that Jester practically wants to throw up if he even thinks about it. Mostly because how true it is. Some people he has seen sacrificed their loved ones for power, while others would sacrifice themselves. Jester gave neither and both at the same time. He gave his emotions. Love, Joy, Happiness, Content and so much more. To the point where he basically only has a handful of emotions left to feel, none of which he likes, or he imagines himself not liking it. It is hard to tell what pleases you when you don't have the emotion to tell you that you are happy. But the emotions are not something he can get back. Not like he would ever want them anyways.

"My word you really made a mess of this place." The voice was Eon's that much Jester could tell. He really wasn't in the mood for this right now. "You really ought to calm yourself and clean up."

"There is nothing really here Eon, I just made things so that I could break them and vent out my anger. This place will clean up automatically the moment I make everything disappear." Jester stated this in a matter of fact like manner, there was no care to his creations when they serve their purpose.

"That is not the point. You should get some actual things in here to liven up the place a little. Flowers couldn't hurt." Eon sated trying to ignore the coldness in Jester's tone. Jester made a face at Eon telling him that he was not in the mood for this right now. "I am only trying to help."

"Help?" Jester says with anger laced in his tone, "If you wanted to help me then you would have tried to save Spyro's family when they were in trouble. If you wanted to help me then you wouldn't have begged me to help destroy the evidence of them ever being here. If you wanted to help me, you would have told Spyro everything that I told you when you had the chance. So, cut to the point because you never once wanted to help me."

The words that Jester was saying were like daggers to Eon's ghostly heart. If words could kill, then what Jester just said would probably kill twice. Despite how much this hurt to hear for Eon he kept his composure by saying flatly, "Alright, I am here to make sure you keep your promise. That you would not harm the Skylands or Skylanders."

Jester was glad that Eon was speaking the flat truth right now, or to be more precise he was not getting any more annoyed by what Eon was saying. "I said that I wouldn't harm them any more then needed. And right now, I really NEED to put a hurt in something and the Skylanders are looking to be a good substitute."

The face Eon saw was one that terrified him. He saw the face of a man that was going to do anything he could to vent and was looking at his beloved Skylanders as a punching bag. Normally Eon would say something to warn Jester about not to underestimate the Skylanders. Only this time, he knew that Jester was unable to underestimate anyone. Jester was the definition of precision and pursuit. Nothing would escape him forever. However, Eon was no pushover when it comes to magic and without a physical body to hold him back, he would be able to level the playing field a bit more, but even that would not stop Jester. But it would delay him, and Eon knows, that for whatever reason, Jester wants this whole plan of his to be done soon. "I know you want this to be done as soon as possible but don't forget that I can make things more difficult for you." Eon threatened.

This made Jester furious. 'How dare he try and get in my way after everything he has done to make things more difficult.' He wanted to scream but Eon was right about one thing. He needs to calm down. After a deep breath Jester spoke in a flat tone. "I will not kill the Skylanders and so long as they don't do something stupid, beyond angering me further, no harm will come to them. Directly at least." Jester saw the Eon was not pleased with the last part that he said. Upon seeing this Jester decided to do the last thing he wanted to do when this conversation started. "Okay fine, since you don't like being kept in the dark about this, I will tell you my next move and I will be sure to leave your son out of this. I know that I am heartless, but I am not stupid, I have no benefit in destroying Kaos, other then making sure he doesn't interfere."

"Why are you bringing up my son into this conversation?" Eon was curious about this.

"Because he is the reason why I am so pissed off." Jester says with anger back in his tone as he says the last words through clenched teeth. Jester recalled the exact word that made him feel this way, 'Brother'. "He made a claim to Spyro that I can never forgive nor forget."

Eon looked like he was going to press further but decided that it was enough that he could hear what Jester's next plan was, although he doubts that he is going to like it. "So, what is your big plan?"

Jester smiles and thinks to himself, 'Finally, something is going my way.'

Back with the Skylanders in the Falling Forest

Jester made a sudden appearance in front of the Skylanders forcing them to take a battle stance readying themselves for whatever happens next. Jester merely looks around him, ignoring their battle stances, and takes notice of the landscape around him. His face is emotionless, and Jester is the first to break the silence, "It's been a while, so I thought we could pick up were we left off." Jester said in a tone as if there was no care or feeling, kind of like how you would expect a robot to speak if they could sound just like us. "For the sake of keeping things simple, let's say the last game was a draw. This time I have every intention of winning."

The Skylanders look to each other and nodded as if there was a conversation that was going on and they all silently understood. Jet-Vac was the first to speak up, "We are done playing games with you Jester. We are going to bring you in for the crimes you have committed against the Skylands." As Jet-Vac finishes his last word he raises his Vat-Gun at Jester ready to fire at a moment's notice.

Jester places his hand under his chin in such a way that he makes a mock thinking pose. "What to do, what to do? If you won't willing play my games that I have made just for you then…" Jester disappears the moment that he said 'then' surprising everyone. The Skylanders start looking around for him by truing their heads left and right, while making a circle to get closer to each other for support. While behind everyone, Jester slowly rises from the shadows and says in a dark and creepy tone, "I will just have to give you the proper motivation." As he finishes saying this everyone turns around to face him, but Jester was too fast, and he managed to grab Stealth Elf and as soon as he contacted her, he vanished taking Stealth Elf with him.

The Skylanders were shocked to silence, even Kaos had nothing to say. The fastest Skylander ever couldn't react fast enough to this guy, and all for the madness that he has been creating that he calls 'games.' There are several emotions present on everyone's face as they try to comprehend what just happened. Some are riddled with worry, others with doubt, but two Skylanders demonstrated something else entirely.

Spyro was mad right now as he just witnessed his friend being kidnapped right in front of him, and he was powerless to do anything about it. He was angry partially at himself for not being able to do anything, but also at Jester. Spyro is not one to shift the blame onto others, unless it involves getting out of doing chores then everything is fair game, but Spyro could only see that the problems that everyone was facing was caused by Jester.

Eruptor was puzzled by what had just transpired. There were several things that Jester has been doing that don't quite add up. First of all, why had he showed up the way he did in the first place? It seemed that he was telling the truth when he said that he wanted our attention but why would he add the part where he knows about Spyro's ancestors? He didn't need to motivate us to try to catch him since we would have done that in the first place. Eruptor knew that Jester was desperate for our attention but why was he? He made the claim that if someone says his name then he would stop everything and turn himself in. Thinking logically there is no reason to believe this but why make the claim to begin with. If someone where to find out who he is wouldn't that be a disadvantage for him? Furthermore, Jester never gave any hints as to his name or even where he is from, meaning that someone here must already know his name and is doing everything here to get them to remember. The question is who? Then revelation struck Eruptor like a light bulb. He is doing this for the one person he wanted them to find. The same person who Jester never gave a nickname to. He is doing this for Spyro, but why?

In what felt like an eternity, in which had really only been about three minutes, Jester reappeared in front of the Skylanders, this time without Stealth Elf. Jet-Vac was the first to speak up shouting at Jester, "Where have you taking our friend?!"

Pop Fizz also shouted afterwards, "Yeah! And while you are at it will you bring her back to us? Please?"

Jester looks at everyone with a stone-cold face and simply responds in a cold tone, "I have taken her where you will be going if you want her back. And as for giving her back I will all you have to do is get her." As he finishes saying this Jester turns his back to the Skylanders and starts making motions with his hands and makes some weird noises. After he was finished a poral opens in front of Jester and he slowly walks in, leaving the portal open behind him. The Skylander look at each other and they all start nodding agreeing that they should follow. They approach the portal and one by one enter it. Once the last Skylander enter the portal it closes behind leaving only an eerie silence. The silence is then broken when a rustling sound from a nearby bush is made. Kaos slowly emerges from the bush looking slightly scared and worried.

"Helloooo, where did everyone go?"

On the other side of the portal

Jester waited for the rest of the Skylanders to cross the portal. He knew he didn't have to wait long but, he felt impatient none the less. This was going to be draining on him and one small mistake, one slip up, one detail that he missed, would make all the work he did up until now worthless. This thought though didn't cause any stress, or discomfort in Jester's mind. After all, this was just an everyday occurrence with him. As he has noticed others in the past 'No one thinks about breathing, so why worry about something that you need to get done?'. Jester knows that many would say that the phrase is easier said then done, but doing it makes everything that needs to get done easier. So, he does.

The sounds of footsteps behind him and the feeling of the portal closing let's Jester know that the Skylanders are here. 'Time to get the show on the road then.' Jester turns around to see the familiar faces that he has grown accustom to over the years. Anger and caution. Jester mocks clearing his throat and says, "Since you all came here, I can now tell you the rules of this game. Behind me," Jester makes a move with his hand to show what he was refencing, "Is a maze. At the end of this maze, if you find the right route, is your friend the elf girl. If you make it there you can free her."

"How do we know that Stealth Elf is really there?" Eruptor asks.

Jester turns to face Eruptor then looks at the rest of the group. "Fine, if you wish to see her here, she is." As he says this, four small screens float down in front each Skylander. On the screen is an image of Stealth Elf being trapped in a giant hourglass. The Skylanders could see that she was banning on the hourglass, but they couldn't hear her voice. "The only way to her is through the maze, but the moment that one of you enter the sand at the top will start to fall down until it is all gone." Jester stated this as just a fact, no care or concern at all in his voice. Spyro leaped up in the air and quickly tackled Jester to the ground. He was about to shout at Jester when Jester quickly said, "Beat me or knock me unconscious then there is no way you will see her again, and you all will not be able to leave this place."

The moment Jester finished his sentence Spyro took a look around to see his surroundings, only to find that there are none. The entire place is completely barren of anything discernable. In fact, Spyro had no idea how he was even able to see anything. There was no source of light no sun, stars, or even a faintly glowing object, yet he could see for a long distance. Wherever he was he was not going to be able to get out unless Jester led them out. Spyro grunted in defeat at this realization and got off Jester. Jester quickly got up and dusted himself off. Although this action also seemed like it was to get a ruse out of the Skylanders because there was no dirt or dust on him in the first place.

"Now, since you are familiar with what you are doing, allow me to say the rules. The game is over when one of you reaches the end point and breaks the hourglass. There are two things that are not allowed at any time, the first rule is that you are not allowed to cheat. That means you cannot go over or under the maze, you must travel through it, that means you Spyro. The other rule is no communicating with other teammates. If any of you break these rules, I will accelerate the hourglass and your friend will be trapped in time." Jester sees that the Skylanders looked disturbed by the second rule and sees the question on their faces. Before they could ask Jester quickly says, "To make sure you follow the second rule I have prepared an opening for each of you. As I stated before the game starts when one of you enters the maze but do keep in mind that your friend does have a limited amount of air in that glass. I will see you all on the other side." As Jester says this, four holes in separate parts of the walls are formed each one showing a different path. "Oh, before I forget." Jester turns around and points at the screens hovering behind each of the Skylanders present. "Those screens will keep track of the things that you see so you can try to retrace your steps if you get lost. On that note, I have only one piece of advice for the rest of you, don't get lost." With that Jester vanishes as a cloud of grey smoke covers him.

Spyro looks at his fellow Skylanders and each of them in turn face him and each other. Without another word Spyro leaps off into the closest whole that he could find. The exit behind him quickly closing as to prevent others from following him. He was on his own as the rest of them were in the same position. It was a race against time with everyone with one goal in mind, get there as fast as possible.

The rest of the Skylanders each take their own entrance to the maze taking note on which one that the other entered. Each entrance was sealed up in the same fashion as the one Spyro answered.

Spyro's route

Spyro decided to go for an age-old trick in trying to solve the maze puzzle, keep going straight and if he cannot then go right. That way he could backtrack himself as easy as possible. The only problem was that the maze was huge. Spyro knew that the maze was not going to be small by any means, just that he didn't expect it to feel this large. Spyro took a moment to look at the screen that was following him the entire time. The screen had a map displayed on what looked to be a series of walls and a purple line with his face on at the very end. Spyro really hated the Jester guy but he had to admit, he could make a good maze tracking app. From what Spyro could remember, the walls that he had passed had the same shape and movement from the ones that were displayed.

After looking at the map on the screen Spyro saw that there was several tabs. Some of the tabs has the picture of his other teammates in the maze, while one had the image of Stealth elf on it. Spyro quickly clicked on Stealth Elf's tab and saw that the sand was starting to fall on her and she was no longer banging on the glass anymore. 'Smart move Elf.' Spyro thought, 'The less you move the less air you need.'

Spyro stated moving again making his way through the maze when he heard a voice come from behind him. He turned around only to see that no one was there. This greatly spoked Spyro when he heard the same voice come from behind him again. This time Spyro slowly turned around to try and see if he could find out who made that sound. The really creepy thing to Spyro about this voice wasn't that he couldn't find who made it but rather he recognized that it belonged to one of the dragons that he saw in his dream. The thing was that he never heard anyone other then Ignitus speak but he knew it came from one of the other dragons. When Spyro turned around he saw that there was nothing there other than the screen. But instead of a map showing where he was in the maze Spyro instead saw one of the symbols that he recognized in his dream to be on the screen. 'This has to be fake' Spyro thought, 'There is no way in which I am dreaming right now. This is just Jester trying to pull a trick on me.' However, the voice from the screen had other things to say.

"Listen here young Spyro." A loud and booming voice came from the screen as one of the images shifted to a different one, and a green light was coming off the screen. "You have been waiting for far too long, now is the time to act."

Spyro knew that he had to act fast if he wanted to save his friend. He didn't need some voice to tell him that. Spyro's voice was barely above a whisper when he said, "Shut up."

"Tell me Spyro." This time the image shifted again and this time the color coming off of it was a rich royal blue. "Do you intend to let this happen without having done anything when you know you can?" The voice said in a cold and demeaning manner, as if looking down on Spyro.

Spyro didn't know what to do in this situation. He couldn't fly above otherwise he would be risking the life of his best friend. And he couldn't ask for help from his teammates or else risk the same thing. The accusation from the voice just angered him further making his voice louder, "Shut up!"

"You must know the answer little Spyro." The image changed again and the color that it showed this time was that of a bright yellow with a hint of orange in it. "He said that you could go 'through the maze', so why not…"

"SHUT UP!" Spyro was tired of hearing these voices, tired of seeing all the bad things happen to him and those around him. But most of all he was tired of feeling helpless and out of control. He wanted nothing more then to get the answers about his family and heritage. But if this was the pain and price that he had to pay, it was enough to make him stop but not enough to make him give up. He wants the prize, not the pain to obtain it. "I want to save my friend, I don't want to know you, any of you. All my dreams or visions or whatever they are have done is lead me down a path that I don't care to have, and lead those I care about into harm. If you are here to help me do the best thing you can and leave."

"Young Spyro." This time Spyro didn't need to turn around or look to see who it might be, he recognized that voice. This was Ignitus speaking, and although Spyro didn't want to hear anything right now, there was something calming and soothing about this dragon's voice. Something that made him listen. "We are a part of you Spyro, we always have been. We want nothing more then what you want, but we also want you to learn more about yourself. You are a very unique dragon Spyro, you already know this, but what you don't know is that there is more to you then you know. Let us guide you as we have before, you can trust us Spyro."

Oddly enough even though Spyro had no reason to believe in the voices, he did trust them. He believed that they could provide him guidance. Spyro accepted them. At that moment Spyro could feel things that he didn't know where even there. It was like a surge of power and knowledge flow through him. He knew he felt powerful before, but this made him feel like nothing in comparison. Spyro's body started to rise in the air as he felt the power surge in him. He closed his eyes and Spyro could tell that as the power flowed in him, he could tell what the power was and what he could do with it. Ice, lighting, earth, and fire. He could feel himself being able to wield these powers and having the knowledge on how to use them as well. As the surge of power began to fade, Spyro felt his body being lowered until his feet were back on the ground.

With these powers and knowledge, Spyro knew how to solve this maze instantly. Without any hint Spyro slammed the ground with his feet as hard as he could and shook the entire maze. As the maze was shaking Spyro felt with his body the vibrations in the ground and where they were coming from. Like how a bat uses its own voice to see things in the dark. With this he turned his body and started to channel the power of lighting in his body making sparks start to fly around him. In just a moments time Spyro leaped forward with lightning speed. He launched shards of ice at the walls to freeze them on contact allowing Spyro to break through the walls with ease. Jester did say that they could go through the maze. So that is exactly what Spyro did, he went straight threw every wall in the maze.

It didn't take long for Spyro to reach his destination. Once Spyro landed on his feet he saw Stealth Elf lying on the floor surrounded by broken glass and sand. Spyro went over to check to see if she was okay but Stealth Elf quickly got up as Spyro approached with a look of fear on her face. Spyro looked behind him to see what startled her but when he saw that there was nothing there, he realized what she was afraid of. Himself. Upon this realization Spyro backed away from Stealth Elf. There was nothing he could do to change the situation that scarred her, she was afraid of the person who saved her because he did things that she never new that he could do. That he never new he could do until just now. Spyro backed away until he was in a corner then he realized that all of the knowledge and power that he displayed was exactly what Other Spyro could do in his dreams. That was one of the few things that helped Spyro separate dream and reality and he just accepted it with open wings.

"Who am I? ..."

Chapter 6: My name is…

Author's footnotes:

Hey everyone, sorry for making this so close to Christmas again but it is still before so I hope you all don't mind. Speaking of which I ended on another cliffhanger, I am not going to lie I like doing this as it is more fun for me to write this way.

Props to anyone who gets the names of all of the dragons that I mentioned in this chapter, and yes, they are what you think they are if you are right. If you are wrong, they are still what you think they are but only for you, and those who you convince.

I hope you liked this chapter and I plan on making the next one sometime next year (2019). I don't have an exact date, but I am looking to get it done in January, so I will say the next one will be up by the 21st of January at the latest.

Yours truly,

DJester
