I own noting, all rights reserve. Except for OCs.
"Sooooooooo...You created Master Guin?" Pop-fizz asked as Ragarock watched Guin as he slept.
"Yes...But that...Was a very...Very...Long Time ago..." Ragarock said remembering.
Guin was also remembering...As he slept, His memories began to return...
Inside Guin's memories...
"Guin...Do you know...Why you were created?"
"The reason why we gave you life."
"Was to carry our legacy, The Arkyeans...But..."
"We actually created you for a different purpose..."
"And That..."
"Is To protect, and guide both Skylanders and humanity."
"To keep them both on the right path."
"To shield them from the darkness and call forth the light from within their hearts."
"And that...Is your one true purpose..."
"That's way you must leave this time...and, sadly, you must suppress everything you acquired during your stay. Both your Emotions and Memories."
"But...Do not fear...They will return in time...as you put your faith in the skylanders...Do you understand?"
"No...I do not want to leave..."
"I know it's hard for you to leave your home...But that is what destiny truly means."
"But...What about Aurra?"
"Aura will stay deep within the vault frozen in time...But alive...Until your arrival."
"NO! I...I refuse! What if something happens to me? Who will wake her up?"
"You have noting to fear...Your fate is in my gloves."
"NO! You-you-YOU CAN"T DO THIS TO ME!"
"Guin...I'm so sorry..."
BANG!
"Ahhh! I-I've been a-ambushed? Wait...Spirito!? Why..? I thought...I thought...Ugh.."
Thud.
"Spirito...You...Traitor..."
Guin then bolted upwards and breathed heavily. The skylanders then notice their master's awaking and rushed to his side. Kane, Chow, Lance, Bowler, Jet, Lucy, And Princess Rinda were also by his side.
"Guin! Your awake!" Spyro exclaimed. He then pause for a moment before saying. "So...Do you remember now?"
"Yes..." Guin asked before turning to Ragarock. "But why?"
"It's true, Guin." Ragarock admitted. "I was the one who created you." He then continued. "As for Aura...We found her wandering alone in the wastelands after the war between humans and beast two-hundred years ago...We brought her to the phantom tower and nurse her back to health...On one condition...That she would become your wife and caretaker, Over the past weeks you and Aurra had grown a unbreakable love and began to care deeply for each other...Until one day...It was time to send you off into the far future, To become the man you are today...However...You show resistless and refuse to leave...That's why...Sprito..." Ragarock stopped for a moment, probably too scare to continued. "...He had to...Spirito...Knocked you out cold, and while you were asleep we locked both your memories and personality away until your arrival in skylands." Ragarock then looked at Guin and saw a shocked look on his muzzle, he then continued. "Aura was put in cold stasis deep underneath the tower...waiting for you...Spirito and I stayed behind while the rest of the Arkyeans moved on to the afterlife." Ragarock then continued. "I wasn't allowed to leave the tower by order of our goddesses."
"Goddesses?" Guin asked.
"Yes, The three seamstresses. They were the ones who created us, the Arkyean...However, after Backstitches's rule. Became concern of us. I've knew this as well, and came up with a failsafe plan to ensure the future safety of Skylands..." Ragarock explained before turning towards Guin and saying. "You."
"But...Why lock away my memories?" Guin Asked. "It seemed meaningless..."
"Ah...I'm Getting to that." Ragarock said. "The Three Seamstresses wanted to see if your were different then us, the Arkyean...That you could learn Compassion, Kindness, Happiness, Honor, Courage, Sorrow, love, And of course, A sense of humor." Ragarock then continued. "If you had no recollection of your past...Then that alone would set you on the right path...By following the only path that could be visible. The twins of Parro."
"So...Are you saying that..." Kane began. "That...Rinda and Reimas..."
"Correct, They were a part of Guin's test." Ragarock finished for Kane. Earning a surprise look from Rinda. "Which Guin passed with Flying colors!" Ragarock cheered. "By protecting them, Guin had learned how to be responsible and compassionate."
"But...why us?" Rinda asked Ragarock.
"Well...Anything for Master Eon's Grandchildren!" Ragarock said suddenly.
"W-What!?" Everyone said at once. Including Guin.
"Master Eon have been alive for about two hundred years now...Me and him were good friends...So we made a deal...That I would grant him a extended lifespan in exchange for him to pass the task of leading the Skylanders to Guin..." Ragarock explained. "And before Skylands were created...He was married with a lovely woman named Reala Farseed...Who happened to be blissed with children...However, When the war broke out...He knew his place was in Skylands, So he left for the core of light. After the war was over, Eon's decedents built a kingdom that would soon be known as Parro."
"So...Eon really is my grandfather..." Rinda said backing away.
"Rinda..." Ragarock said reaching into one of his pockets. "Eon...Left something for you..." He then pulled out a small white box and handed it to Rinda.
The young Princess then took it from the old phantom and opened it. Inside was a pendent and a letter. She then opened the letter and read it to herself. After she finished reading she held both the letter and pendent to her heart. "Oh, Grandfather..." She said quietly, She then place the pendent around her neck.
"Guin. Take the elevator all the way down to the vault..." Ragarock told the leopard. "There, you'll find both Aura and the Magic Source."
"Thank you...Ragarock." Guin said before he and the others made their way to the elevator and headed downward.
After Guin and the others left. Ragarock walked over towards a phone mounted on the wall, he then dialed in a set of numbers before waiting.
"...Ah...Hello, Snap-Shot. It's been a long time." Ragarock said into the receiver. "It's time. Bring the Traptanium Gauntlet. Guin's going to get all the help he can get..." He then hung up.
"Oh...Sprito...Where are you?" Ragarock said worried.
