Ok, last chapter was longer than expected but I needed to have little Lion King influence as possible. This one has a lot of characters: Whirlwind, Hunter, Stealth Elf, Cynder, Sunburn, Ignitor, and Spyro. Yeah, quite impressive like Game of Thrones: lots of characters and very easy for me to lose track of what's going on and where a certain person is.

The portal Spyro created with his yellow oranges swished him back to the Dragon Realms where the lands had caught his eyes. The realms were a mess: what was once a lush green place was now a black-and-white, wasteland-infested homeland. Plants stood petrified, bones were rotting away, the blue sky turned into a dead-grey sky. For under Malefor's rule, everything that Spyro saw had been turned into a graveyard.

From cliffs that had Warfang in view, he could see from afar that his kingdom was completely turned into a graveyard.

How did it come down to this, he asked himself. I was such a fool for leaving this place. Now there is nothing left or worse, no one is left.

"Spyro, wait," said Cynder's voice.

Spyro turned his head behind and surprisingly saw Cynder and Sunburn coming up towards him.

"I thought you guys said I was died," said Spyro.

"We thought you were but we were told that you had found yourself," she said.

"Who told you that," asked Spyro.

"Some cheetah named Hunter," answered Sunburn, walking up to Spyro and looking at their ruined home. "It's completely dead, isn't it?"

"I didn't want to believe my uncle would go this far under his rule."

"Now that your back, your Highness" said Sunburn. "We can take the fight to your uncle."

"But how can we fight his army of Apes?" asked Spyro.

"Easy and hard, there is a rebel army, forces loyal to your father," answered Cynder. "We've been hiding in the underground caverns that are in the dragon city. A passage way Malefor doesn't know about. We can attack in the city and liberate it from the Apes, not to mention the Gremblins will be there."

Gremblins.

The word shouted in Spyro's mind: the day he dreadfully remembers seeing those monstrous creatures was the day he lost his father. Anger boiled in his mind of those creatures. Spyro was really started to strong hate and anger against his uncle and himself for being away for so long.

"Spyro, what is it?" asked Sunburn.

"Nothing, just bad memories," signed Spyro. "So you guys are with me?"

"They're not the only ones with you, Spyro," said a familiar voice.

The three turned around and saw Whirlwind, Ignitor on her back, and Stealth Elf jumping from her back. Hunter was among them. Hunter was the cheetah with the bow Spyro broke. For Spyro, he seemed surprised that one of two cheetahs he met last night was with his three Skylands friends.

"What are you guys doing here? I thought you hated me."

"That was the ignorant Spyro," corrected Whirlwind. "Now are now with the hatchling Spyro this cheetah told us about."

Hunter winked at Spyro.

"But don't get any ideas about this boyfriend-and-girlfriend thing, Spyro, because we're still apart," stated Whirlwind.

Spyro nodded.

Soon all of them walked near Spyro and saw the land in great devastation.

"We're going fight to win these wastelands?" asked Ignitor.

"Yes, Ignitor," answered Spyro. "This is a single part of my entire home. You can imagine my entire kingdom big as Skylands but all the islands connected into one island with lots of green and life prosperity."

"Talk about a sad and angry Mother Nature," said Ignitor. "Well, Spyro, if this piece of land is very important to you, than us: Whirlwind, Hunter, Stealth Elf, Cynder, Sunburn, and I are with you to take back your terrible, but lovable kingdom."

Spyro smiled and all seven of them looked in the distance a stoned city as their target: Warfang.
