Chapter 2: Reawakening: Fire, Wind, and Light

Dream Realm

Gneiss' POV

I slowly got to my feet, and looked around. Spyro was next to me, but Tempest and Jolt weren't present. The region we were in was unfamiliar. We were on a stone platform suspended above the void, with the twin moons hanging in the distance. At first, I though we were back in Convexity, but it wasn't quite the same: the stonework of the platform we were on was more similar to that of the Temple, and there also were massive stacks of books in the distance.

Spyro got to his feet at this point, and seemed to be coming to the same conclusions.

"Hello? Is anyone there?" shouted Spyro into the void.

Unexpectedly, someone responded.

"Do not be frightened, young dragons," replied the voice, "You are not alone".

I listened to the voice, analyzing its tone. It sounded quite old and wise, and also kind. I decided to trust it for now.

"Who are you?" I asked, "What is this place?"

"I have summoned you here so that you might be warned," said the voice, "the Celestial moons are counting down and time is running out".

"What's that supposed to mean?" I said, taking a step back.

Suddenly, out of the void familiar whispers started coming, alternately calling out to us and warning us off. The whispers grew in intensity until we couldn't take it any more.

"MAKE IT STOP!" we shouted, and it did.

In fact, everything around us slowed to a crawl. I noticed that the spinning beam in front of us was now moving slowly enough for us to cross. Us we reached the stable platform up ahead, everything started moving normally again.

"How did that happen?" asked Spyro.

"The Purple dragon can wield many abilities that others can not, including Time itself," said the voice, "learn to master this ability, and you will be able to see things almost before they happen. But… use this gift sparingly, only when circumstances demand it. Manipulation of time us not to be done without utmost care".

We nodded with understanding, but I had one question.

"If only purple dragons can wield that ability, how come I can, too?" I asked.

"Quite simple: you don't have the ability yourself, but through your close friendship with Spyro, you are included in its effect," replied the voice.

We continued forwards, and soon came to a platform with a glowing red sigil on it, along with a fire barrier.

"You seem to have abandoned your true callings," said the voice, "It is your destiny, Spyro, to harness the powers of the elements, and the destiny of you and your companions, Gneiss, to reawaken the ancient Elemental Spirits. Yet, you possess not".

"We haven't been able to use our abilities for some time now," said Spyro.

"Yes," said the voice, "Right now, your powers lay dormant within you. Let's see if might not awaken them…"

Understanding that he seemed interested in aiding us, we stepped on the sigil, which I noticed was marked with the symbol for fire. As soon as we did, I felt a familiar warmth pouring into me, the power of Fire.

"Clear your mind young dragons," said the voice, "and feel the fire that flows through your veins. Allow its heat to consume you, and breathe with it. Now rise up, and unleash the firestorm within you!"

With this, we felt ourselves being lifted up by the power flowing into us, as it built up to capacity, then released as a massive fury attack, magnified by our combined power, which also knocked out the fire barrier.

"Excellent Spyro, Gneiss!" said the voice, "you're naturals. Now that the primal fire rages inside of you, show me you have command of it".

We then hopped up the next few ledges until we reached a platform with four statues on it. I examined them more closely: They resembled the undead warriors we'd fought on Dante's Freezer. Suddenly, the 'statues' shuddered to life, attacking us. They didn't last long under our combined Fire.

After they fell, another set of platforms appeared leading us to the next part of the test, where Spyro learned to use Comet Dash, and I aided him with the same.

Next yet another set of platforms appeared, leading us first to a set of brazier to ignite, then to a teleporter where we were reminded how to use the Crystals.

Finally, we were able to move on to the final segment: Fury training. We bashed our way through the ever-regenerating living statues, and smashed the Fury Crystal, until our energies we at capacity, at with point we released our Fire fury, completely clearing the area. After this we headed up towards the temple-like space up ahead, which was flanked by a pair of very familiar statues.

Tempest's POV

Dream Realm

I got to my feet and look at where I was. I definitely was not familiar with this location.

"Hey, is anyone out there?" I called.

"Do not be afraid, young Dragon, you are not alone," replied a wizened-sounding voice, "I have called you here so that you might be warned: the Celestial moons are counting down, and time is running out".

Suddenly, another platform appeared in the distance, with a sigil on it, bearing the symbol of wind. I glided over to his platform, and moved towards the sigil.

"The power of the Wind," said the wizened voice, "it flows around all of us. Now, it is time to reawaken it within you".

I hopped up onto the sigil, into the column of swirling air emitting from it.

"Clear your mind Tempest," said the voice, "and let the power of Wind flow around you, and breathe with it. Now rise up, and unleash the Cyclonic fury within you!"

I did so, and felt myself being lifted up by the sheer force of the windstorm I was releasing; it the burst outwards, knocking out the barrier ahead of me. I moved on, pushing my way past living statues, first with Gale breath, then with, a cyclone spin. Next, I came to what seem to be a set of windmills, which I spun with breath. Finally, I came to the Fury training area, where I built up the necessary energies, then released them on the living statues. After this, I climbed up to the Temple-like space at the next with twin dragon statues next to it.

Jolt's POV

Dream Realm

As soon as I cloud, I stood up and looked at the unfamiliar surroundings, which looked like Convexity with the addition of large stacks of books.

"Umm, hello?" I called out to the void.

"Do not be frightened, young dragon, you are not alone," said a kindly-sounding voice, "I have brought you here so that you might be prepared for what is to come. To aid you along the path, I shall grant you a very special power: Future Sight. With this, you can receive glances of events yet to come. On a smaller scale, it also allows you to predict your enemies' movements. Use it wisely, young Jolt".

I moved forwards, using Future Sight to see where the moving platforms will be so that I may time my jumps correctly. Soon enough, I reached a larger platform with a glowing white sigil on it, with the kanji symbol for 'light' on it, the same symbol that is on my chest.

"You too seem to have temporarily lost the ability to use your elements," said the voice, " let us… awaken them".

I hopped onto the sigil, and its glow intensified.

"The power of Light, the antithesis of the shadow element," said the voice; "both Light and Dark are integral to the world as a whole neither is good nor evil. Allow the Light to suffuse you, and then rise up, and unleash the shining Light!"

My Light fury blasted away the shield that had been blocking the path forwards. Up ahead, I used my Light breath to cut through the first set of living statues, and Lightburst attacks on the second group. Next I came to a mirror array, where I had to carefully realign the mirrors, then bounce my Light breath off of it to open the way forwards. After that it was time for Fury training, nothing too exiting here, just fought my way through an endless stream of living statues till I had enough power build up, then released it. Finally I climbed up the last flew ledges to reach a temple like space with a pair of statues identical to the ones it the training room of the temple. Inside, I was pleasantly surprised to find Spyro and the others all gathered around what looked like the pool of visions. As I approached, the voice started up again.

"You have done well… and now, it is time for you to return. But be careful young dragons, the enemy approaches," said the voice.

"Wait!" replied Spyro, "You still haven't told us who you are!"

"Yeah, we whish to know who we're dealing with," Gneiss replied.

"You shall know me as the Chronicler," he said, "Seek me out…"

Just then an image appeared within the pool of visions: a great, ancient tree within the most distant depths of a forest. Suddenly, the area around us faded away, and we could hear Sparx calling to us.

Temple Gardens

Gneiss' POV

"Hello? Hello, hello, hello?" called Sparx, as we regained consciousness, "Anyone home? Hello? Hello?"

We then slowly got to our feet, realizing that we'd just had a very strange, prophetic dream.

"Something is happening Sparx," said Spyro, "I can't explain it".

"No kidding," replied Sparx, "while you were catatonic, this whole place has been hooting and howling. Listen".

In the distance, in addition to the normal night sounds, we heard the sounds of explosions.

"What is it?" I whispered.

Suddenly a bomb dropped out of the sky, just barely missing us.

"What's happening?" Asked Jolt.

We looked up at the sky, and saw a squadron of Dreadwings coming this way. Including one dropping another bomb, this one collapsing the short path back to the Temple.

"The Temple is under attack!" shouted Tempest, "The others are still sleeping; we've got to get back!"

"Are you crazy?" said Sparx as he moved to block our path, "do you want to run towards the danger?"

"We're going to have to find another way in," said Spyro, "come on!"

"Ugh… I liked you better when you were sleepin'," said Sparx.

With that, we dashed off to find a way back inside.

A/N: and there we go! Next time, Defending the Temple.
