The Dark Realm

Spyro, now a boisterous young seven year old, stood on a large expanse of rock overlooking the valley. His skin had darkened, his crests had grown and had gotten much more brighter and he had started growing claws. His tail now had a arrow spike, yellow in color and very sharp. Behind him was Sparx, his dragonfly friend that he had met when he was only four. Below in the valley, they saw Unicorns and Pegasus's were running around fearfully, Kangaroos' were jumping around frantically and the other dragons were looking up to the sky confused.

"What's going on?" Sparx asked.
"I don't know." Spyro replied.
"I can tell you what's going on." Ember called.

Ember, a very pretty pink dragon with yellowish white crests and white claws climbed up the rock and stood beside Spyro. Sparx hissed, he knew that Spyro had a thing for this dragon. She had crystal blue eyes and a yellow belly. There was fear in her eyes, the same as the fear in everyone else's eyes. She shivered and dropped to the ground and started crying.

"Oh Spyro, it's horrible." Ember said. "The dark lords have taken over the sacred realms."
"The dark lords?" Sparx joked.
"Who are they and where are they?" Spyro asked.
"The dark lords are a collection of beasts..." Ember started.
"One of them is your father." Flame scuffed.

Flame, a fiery red dragon with orange crests and a yellow belly ran up the rock and positioned himself between Ember and Spyro. He to had a crush on Ember, and as he had a temper Spyro tempted to stay away from him. Flame was the top of the years crop, the best of them all, and the most dangerous. He had two tentacles falling from his chin, evident that he had a Chinese dragon parent.

"Which means you're an enemy." Flame said.
"Spyro is no foe, he's a friend." Sparx defended.
"Quiet fly, Spyro will fall soon." Flame said. "With you at his side."
"Where are these dark lords?" Spyro asked again.
"Not all of them are dragon, one is a black Unicorn and another is a black Pegasus." Ember said.
"You'll find them...they are coming here." Flame said.
"Which is why we are all going to the cave below." said a green dragon.

Everyone ran underneath the rock, even Flame ran under there. Ember tried to make Spyro come with them but he denied, he stayed above. Sparx stayed above with his friend, although he wanted to go find shelter himself. Suddenly the sky darkened and a black whole erupted. Spyro tried to run, but it was no use, he and his friend along with anyone who wasn't under the pretection of some type of shelter were sucked up. A Kangaroo, a Leopard, a Unicorn and a Pegasus were screaming for mercy, all were frightened to death. When they all touched down on the ground, they stopped and gasped.

What they had been pulled into was a realm of death, leafless trees and bushes stood out almost everywhere with skeletons and hideous mud puddles. There were no flowing streams, blossuming flowers, running youngsters and flying bugs in this realm. It seemed that they were the only thing living. Before they could move or say anything, a Mole poked itself from the ground.

"Hey you younglings," said the Mole." you shouldn't be here."
"Were are we?" Sparx asked.
"You are in the Realm of Death and Destruction." the Mole said. "This realm is dominated by the dark lords."
"We were brought here by some black hole." said the Leopard.
"The lords have brought you to your deaths then." the Mole said. "I wish you all luck."

The Mole dove under the ground and dug away from them, they could tell that whatever did live in this realm was scared. There were a few Vultures sitting on the leafless trees, watching them hungrily. A snake slithered down the bark of a dead tree and hissed angrily. The Unicorn squealed and kicked her black cloven hooves out when she felt a rat run by.

"Everyone stay calm, we need to stick together." Spyro said.
"Who are you?" the Unicorn squealed.
"I am Spyro." Spyro introduced himself. "Who are you guys?"
"I am Hunter, the Leopard." Hunter said.
"I know you, you and I were brothers once." Spyro exclaimed.
"I don't recall." Hunter said.
"Oh well." Spyro sighed. "We have been way from each other a long while."
"I am Sabrina, the Unicorn." Sabrina said.
"Baxter, the Pegasus." Baxter said.
"Shiela, the Kangaroo." Shiela said. "What's your name little guy?"
"Sparx." Sparx said.

Sabrino was a tall, about fifteen hands high, Unicorn filly with beautiful black eyes. She was a light chestnut, with a light mane and tail, the tail reached all the way to the ground. She had a blaze going down her face, and she had three stockings on her feet. Sabrina was seven years old, way to young for breeding. In Unicorn rules, a Unicorn couldn't have children until they were in their late teens to early twenties.

Baxter was a light palomino colt, his coat was so light it looked white and his tail and mane were completely white. His black hooves thundered the ground in both impatience and fear. His black eyes stared out at Spyro with distrust and anger. Baxter's tail reached all the way to his hocks, knees on the back of a horse, and his mane flew way down to his shoulders. He shuddered, both out of fear and because everyone was crowding around himself. Baxter was a tall, seventeen hands, colt with a very prominent head. The Pegasus rules stated that a Pegasus couldn't have children until they were in their twenties, it looked like Baxter was already in his early twenties, because of his height.

Hunter looked like he was about to fall down on the ground and start crying. His coat was spotted yellow, orange and red along with black splashed in to make it worth looking at him. He had a white nose, which made him look somewhat stupid. His tail had a white spot, the tip of it was white while the rest was yellow and black. He had blue eyes, crystal blue eyes that were blinked almost every three seconds.

Shiela was an orange Kangaroo with a black nose and blue eyes. She thumped her tail on the ground in frustration and fear, she wanted to go home. She was beginning to form a pouch were she'd start raising children, she was almost old enough to start conceiving. By the rule of the Kangaroo, a Kangaroo had to be ten years old before they could start having children.

"I think we should start walking." Baxter said.
"Yes, Baxter is right, we need to find a safe place." Sabrina said.
"The sooner the better." Shiela said.

Spyro followed behind Shiela and Hunter, he had a feeling that they were both being watched and followed by someone who was evil. Turning himself around, he looked up in the trees and saw a dark shadow disappear. It looked strangely crocodilian, with some features of a dragon and a sheep thrown in. As to not frighten the others, he didn't speak about it.
