Just a brief note that the story is also on Tumblr - username legendofcynder - and the connection there is just about strong enough that you lot can ask the cast of the series questions about what has/had happened. But enough about that, back to the story.
Anyway, our story begun before we were even hatched, in the Temple of the Dragon. Here, four mighty Legendaries made their home: Ignitus Reshiram, Volteer Zekrom, Cyril Kyurem and Terrador Zygarde. These Mighty Dragon Legendaries are collectively known as the Legendary Dragon-Type Elders, and each also has mastery over Four of the Major Elements: Fire, Lightning - which was once known as Electric - Ice and Earth - which was once known as Ground, but also combined with the old elements of Grass and Rock.
Their numbers were once greater, but three of the Elders - Lugia, Latios and Noivern, Elders of Water, Psychic and Wind (once known as Flying) - lost their lives to the Dark Master, and another two Elders who sided with her - Dragalade of Poison, and the son of Giratina the Renegade, Elder Giratina of Fear (which was once Ghost and Bug) - but soon these two traitors would met their end by the very wings of the Dark Master's newest form. However, on learning about this form, the King of the Apes of that time, fearing Her power was too much for even them to handle at the time, sealed the Dark Master away through the use of Convexity. However, no-one had realised that my great-grandfather was barely alive, at least enough for him to make sure everyone who was alive after the sealing of the Dark Master could hear his last words: a legend that foretold that another Purple Dragon would be born to unknown parentage, and how he would help shape the Fate of the world during his lifetime. Ironic, considering how his daughter was once one as well...
Anyway, fast forward to much closer to the present day, and Gaul, the Ape King of or time, believed that, seeing as it was getting closer to the foretold time when the Purple Dragon would be born, he might be able to capture it while it was still an Egg, and then corrupt it while raising it so that it could lead the world to destruction and free for the Ape Clans to rule over. So, he sent the best spies he had to the Temple of the Dragon to look for the Egg of the Purple Dragon.
Now, in the Year of the Rabbit before I was born, many Dragon and Dragon-Type Eggs were brought to the Temple. Not only that, but five Eggs were formed from within the walls of the temple: one for each of the Elders, and a fifth which was once Volteer's. However, just a few days before the Year of the Dragon was due to start, two Legendaries - who were trying to be neutral with regards to the Ape-Dragon war, despite being both Dragon-Type themselves and descended from two of the old Legendary Elders - arrived at the Temple, carrying a clutch of four eggs... And the spy who saw them enter noticed that one of them was purple, and so they scurried off to tell the news to Gaul.
It turned out that, while this Eon duo were expecting two eggs as per normal for their kind, instead they were greeted with three eggs being laid by Latias, the latter of the trio sharing the markings of both of its siblings, which caused both her and Latios to worry. So the duo took their clutch of Eggs towards the Temple, hoping to find answers by the Legendary Elders who were alive and maybe even by their once-deceased ancestor, Elder Lugia, whose Aura remained within the Temple and could be summoned but once a year for a few minutes.
However, before they could even reach the Temple, they were met by a Lucario carrying the purple Egg which he had found in the woods, and said Lucario kinda forced the Legendaries to take the Egg and protect it for reasons which the Lucario refused to tell. And so, for but a brief while, you could had considered myself to be one of Spyro's siblings - and, in fact, the only sibling he could have had which didn't end up...
Anyway, little did that Lucario know, that his actions would end up condemning many unborn Dragons - which included my birth brother and sister - to die due to the raid which Gaul unleashed on the Temple just days after my birth parents left the four Eggs in the care of the Elders. All I know from reading the Books of Time is that many Eggs were smashed by the Apes in the hunt for the Egg of the Purple Dragon, so many in fact that one whole Book is filled with the intended names of those who didn't even live to hatch and what they would had become, yet seven pages in the Book are left blank: as these pages would had described the seven Eggs which survived had they not survived.
The first Elder to fall was Volteer Zekrom, as he was pinned down while his Eggs which he was due to look after were crushed one by one, but he tried his best to plead with them to spare one single Egg which he cared for the most: a yellow-with-black-markings Egg which would eventually hatch into his son. The Apes did so - but both he and the Egg were taken away as POWs. Next to fall to the same fate was Cyril Kyurem, with his daughter's Egg being taken as another POW along with the Elder.
Terrador Zygarde was lucky. Due to only having only one Egg which wasn't the Purple Egg to look after, which was that of his son, he managed to flee with said Egg mostly unharmed. However, this left the Apes not involved with the capture of the POWs, which was the main bulk of the raid, with only one Elder to deal with: the protector of most of the Eggs in the Temple, Ignitus Reisharam. At first, she was vastly outnumbered, but when one Egg - that of what would had been my sister, Latias Jr. - was broken, unexpected reinforcements arrived in the form of my biological parents. However, by the time they were able to ambush the Apes, it was too late for Latios Jr., his Egg also smashed up by the Apes.
The Distortion World hath no fury like a parent scorned, and the two Eons launched their attacks at the Apes, buying enough time for Ignitus to escape with the final Egg of the Eon's actual clutch, along with both the Egg which Volteer had 'lost' to her due to a bet, and the Purple Egg which was the main reason for the raid. This distraction cost the Eons their lives in the end, and for a while it looked like the Reshiram would be able to take the three Eggs she had saved to safety - but bad luck struck at the worst possible moment as the Fire Elder stumbled, losing grip of the Purple Egg long enough for an Ape who saw the stumbling to snatch it and tossing it towards the leader of the group before he got incinerated by Ignitus' Blue Fire.
That sacrifice which that one Ape made to do what he did single-handedly changed the fate of those who survived as Gaul, walking in just in time to see the leader of the Raid catch the Purple Egg, commanded the rest to retreat and let Ignitus escape, both content with the damage done and believing that the fate of the world would then be sealed in their favour for all time. Oh... How I loved the look on his face when he was finally proven wrong, as once the Reshiram managed to reach a river, she created makeshift cradles for the remaining Eggs she carried, before letting the waters carry us towards our own destiny...
