Chapter 5: Guardians
(Flame)
The walk to war-fang took almost the whole day. It would have been easier if we were able to fly. But sadly none of them knew how to yet. But the worst of it was we had to introduce them to the guardians.
Me and Ember had left without telling them were we went. And I was sure that they would notice 4 new dragons. I was worried that we wouldn't be able to keep their secrets.
"Flame. You know we are going to have to tell them about our new friends." Ember said. "Yeah I know. They are sure to find out as soon as we entire the city. The word will spread fast about 4 new dragons." I said.
It was not something I was looking forward to at all. "Hey. You both ok?" Kyle asked. "Yeah we are fine." I said. But the only thing that got me was a suspicious look from Sierra.
It was then that we saw the gates to the city. And I forgot that their were two guards at the gate every day. So I put all the other worries aside and decided to handle this one first.
We walked out and the dragon guards looked at us then gave a surprised look. "Good to see your ok Flame and Ember. Bit where did you find these 4." The right guard said.
"Oh um we found them in the forest on our way back. They seemed really tired and sore so we decided to take them here. But they couldn't fly so we walked." I said hoping it worked.
They both nodded and let us cross. I was relieved and surprised that it worked. But it was one less problem.
But as we walked in the look on their faces was priceless. "Wow I didn't now you had a place like this in your world." Emily said amazed. "Yeah but we are still trying to rebuild." I said.
They looked ready to take off and explore but that had to wait. "Ok guys before we do anything. I need to show you the guardians at the Dragon temple." I said. And that was when I started to shake again. "Get ready for another long and boring speech from Cyril." Ember said.
I sighed and walked on. I didn't want to do this but I had very little choice. They didn't know how to use their elements yet and I was sure that the Guardians would find out sooner or later.

The city they brought us to was amazing. I mean I played every spyro game ever made but this still surprised me. This place was so alive with activity. I wanted to look around but what Flame told us made my chest hurt.
We were going to meet the Guardians. And I was a little worried. But that was not what worried me the most. What worried me the most was what happened before we even got to the temple.
As we were walking that way. I saw a family of dragons walk by with a child in the middle of them. They looked like they had lost some one and was trying to find them. But what happened next stopped me cold.
Sierra stopped and put a hand to her head. And it was right after that family passed. "Sierra are you ok." I asked. "No my head is pounding. And I can't shake the feeling that I have been here before but I know I haven't" She said.
After that my mind started buzzing. I remember reading fantasy stories in my child hood of people traveling to other worlds and leaving their kids behind to live another and better life. I was starting to wonder if Sierra was such a case.
But I didn't want to explore into that yet. What I wanted to know was what would happen to us when we meet the Guardians.
After Sierra felt better we started walking on again. and it didn't take long for us to come to a door leading into a private room. This is when I saw both Flame and Ember shaking in place.
So I walked up. "Guys it will be ok. Their is nothing to fear here." I said. But that gave me a look of fear from both Ember and Flame. "River. These are the Guardians of our realm. They will not let any thing threaten their own kind." Flame said. "And they will certainly see you and your friends as possible threats if they find out about your life's." Flame said.
Of course this did cause a little whimper come out my throat. I knew that the Guardians were very skilled warriors. And I forgot they probably knew nothing of the human world in which me and my friends came from.
So I backed up and let Ember and Flame work up the nerve. Which didn't take long might I add. They both walked up and opened the door. we all followed but stayed a little ways back until they told us to come in.
"Flame ember it is good to see you both. What brings you here." I heard Volteer say. "Oh stop looking so joyed. Where in the world did you to go off to. We where worried that you were in danger." Cyril said. And i might be just me. But his voice always cracked me up.
"Um Me and Ember went in searching for Spyro and Cynder. In another realm." Flame said. And hearing that all 3 of their eyes widened. "You traveled to another world with out proper authority." Cyril said.
"That has to be the most dangerous and insane thing you could have done Flame." Cyril said. "Cyril's right. You both put your selves in danger and could have been hurt or worse." Terrador said.
"Well at least they are back safe so lets let them off with a warning and let them be on their way." Volteer said. Man an my mom said I talked fast. I was still trying to comprehend what he said earlier.
"Well we didn't come back empty handed." Flame said. This caught their attention quick. "Did you find out anything about Spyro and Cynder's whereabout then." Terrador said.
"Not exactly." Ember said. Flame looked at us and motioned us to come out. And as we did the Guardians looked at us in shock and amazement. "This is impossible. Their shouldn't be any others that survived." Cyril said.
Flame looked at me and I understood that look. "Actually we aren't really Dragons at all." I said. And I knew that when I said that I was about to be a pile of ashes or a block of ice.
They looked at me with a seriousness. "We are from the other world that Flame and Ember went to. They asked us to come and help them." I said. "Then just what are you then if I may ask." Cyril said.
I was a little surprised I was even still in one piece. "Me and my friends are what we call Humans." I said. "We come from a world were dragons are complete myth. They don't even exist." I said.
"How extraordinary. And to think that they are now in a new world and have change form. Do tell me what is your world like." Volteer said. I just sighed. If you would like you can use your pool to look into our memories and see what we were before coming here." I said.
And i watched as they started making their way to it and look inside. "I must say this world is amazing. Their technology is far more advanced." volteer said. "The native population is a bit peculiar thou. They walk around with no fur scales or even hides of any kind." Cyril said.
When they found the memories of what happened before we got here their eyes widened. "You all contain and element inside yourselves then. No wonder you were turned into dragons on your arrival here." Volteer said.
They turned to us and looked us over. "You may not be from this world but your dragons none the less. At least know anyway." Terrador said. we all smiled at that comment. It seemed as thou we were not going to die after all.
"So Is it ok that they stay to help. I mean they have the four element and you can show them how to master them." Flame asked. The Guardians looked at each other and smiled a bit. "We have no objections. But this secret Remains in this room. We don't want our citizens in the city fear an attack from another world." Cyril said.
The biggest smile you could have ever seen spread across my face. Not only did we meet the Guardians but they seemed happy to let use stay and help. But then a problem came to mind.
"Um thank you very much for allowing us to stay. But where are me and my friends supposed to stay." I asked. "With me and Flame of course. We have plenty off room." Ember said.
"Then it is settled. For now go and rest for tomorrow we start your training of your elements. Sleep well young warriors." Terrador said.
We all left to were Flame and Ember stayed. It was nothing fancy just a hut with a cloth for a door and tons of pillows inside. "Not much for fancy living are you." Emily said.
"No just the simple life. It has been hard ever since the war ended. Families are still trying to find their loved ones and find new homes." Flame said. Then he and Ember both laid on a pillow and fell asleep.
"Well guys I guess we will see begin our life here in the morning." I said. We all found a spot and fell asleep.
(Some where out side of war-fang)
"So they finally came back and with new friends none the less." A voice proclaimed. "Yes indeed. It appears they have traveled to our home then." another said. "Which means possible recruits then. Mathias will be pleased." the same voice as before said. "Come Vic. We must report back with the news." Vic's friend said. "Yes lets get a move on then eh Seth" Vic said. They both disappeared into the woods with great pride in the news they were carrying.
