Chapter 4:

I sat there on a rock, just staring down at my hands.

"So you really don't know how ya did that?" Gnic asked. He was sitting next to me on the ground; playing with blades of grass.

"I swear, I have no idea I could even do that." I said quietly. "This is so crazy! This has got to be the craziest dream I've ever had!" I laugh hysterically.

"Dream?" Gnic said. Looking up at me. Confusion written across his face.

"Well ya?" I respond. "How else do you explain this? I must have just fallen and hit my head at some point and this is all just some crazy dream!.. Right?"

Gnic looked confused, maybe even a bit worried.

Suddenly there was a loud BANG from behind me and I hear a deep gravelly voice shout, "GET THE GIRL!"

Before I could turn I felt someone grab me and pick me up off the ground. Holding me from my waist, like a child would with a rag doll.

I look up at my attacker, who to my surprise was a Gnorc. This one though looked.. Scarier than the other ones I had met.

He was taller, tougher looking. He had scars across his face and arms, and he wore battle armor. He looked down at me with this… absolutely horrible grin, then turns to the other Gnorcs and says. "Got 'er! Now let's report back ta Gnasty!"

"Wait! Don't take her!" Gnic said, grabbing the arm of my captor. The Gnorc merely glared at him before punching him, and knocking him to the ground.

This isn't a dream. In a panic to get free, I did the first thing I thought to do. I bit his arm.

He let out a terrible howl and dropped me. I tried running away but another Gnorc got in my path. Suddenly the chief came rushing in. He knocked and held the Gnorc down, then pointed to my left. "Fayra! Get to the portal now!"

I looked at the open portal. It was only a few yards away. I could make it!

I sprint as fast as I could to the portal, but just as i was only a few feet away from it; a Gnorc jumped in front of the portal. "You aint gettin' away that easily girly!" He said before smashing itl.

"No!" I felt angry. I felt a heat boiling from inside of my gut, and some part of me that I didn't even know existed took control. My arms moved at their own will as the blue arora surrounded the Gnorc. I then threw him. He landed against a mud hut with a hard THUD.

Before I could even processes what I did, another Gnorc grabbed me. "Let go of me you ugly monster!" I yelled thrashing around in his hold.

"Stop squirming you little ra-AH!"

I felt a sudden rush of hot air as the Gnorc dropped me. Looking back, I watched as he ran away. His armor was on fire.

Fire? I look at the source of the mysterious flame, and it was a dragon!

A large purple dragon, maybe that of the size of the large horse. With yellow horns and spikes and large orange wings. He charged another Gnorc before looking at me. "We need to get outta here Fayra!" He yells.

I just sat there saying nothing. I was in shock. Even in awe at what was happening. The beast then rolls his eyes, and takes off. Flying into the air before swooping back down and grabbing me by the back of my shirt.

I snap out of my drunken state the second I feel myself being lifted off the ground. I let out a scream as the ground gets further and further away from my feet. I watch as the Gnorcs chase after us. Yelling and throwing whatever they could. Finally my view of them got cut off by the clouds.

Fifteen minutes feels like five hours when your flying. Especially when your screaming your heart out. "Would you stop it already!" The dragon finally says, looking down at me. "I am trying to help you!"

"Ya well its kinda hard to not be scared WHEN YOUR TWENTY MILES OFF THE GROUND!" I yell back. The beast lets out a sigh before diving back under the clouds. Just below us was a forest, and we kept getting closer and closer to it and for a moment I thought he was going to drop me in the middle of nowhere.

But no. Instead we land in a small clearing tucked away in the heart of the woods. Once my feet touch the ground again I let out a sigh of relief. I was still shaking. The dragon lands in front of me. "Better?" He asks.

"Much. Thank you." I say. Steadying my breathing. I walk over and sit under a nearby tree. "I.. What happened?" Is all I could manage.

"Well you were almost kidnapped by Gnastys brutes, but I swooped in intime to save you." The dragon said laying down in the grass.

"That… Doesn't clear anything up. How is this happening? H-how is this real?! It's like I walked into the pages of a fairy tale! I..I don't understand."

The dragon just gives me a confused look. "You don't remember?" He asks.

"No of course not! How could I remember a place I've never been to?!" I reply.

The dragon shakes his head. "Fayra. You've been here before!"

"H-how do you know my name!" I yell. Frustrated. He steps back, before saying;

"Fayra. It's me Spyro. We use to be friends."

Then it all click.
