BGM 1

The Dragon Realms: A land filled with many wonders. It is stated in legends that the Great Sea Dragon, Leviathan, discovered this land. Others say that a group of dragons discovered it after being banished from the Forgotten Realms that exists on the other side. It is a glorious land, filled with peace....and with strife. Many conflicts have come about and many conflicts have been resolved.

But how did these conflicts come to be?

In the realms, there existed many peaceful creatures. But at the same time, there also came many great evils with them. Over generations, many powerful foes came into existence. Each one of them had great power, but they all failed due to their arrogance. But there was one evil who stood out among them all...

His name.....was The Dark Master. Or as we used to know him....Malefor.

In our world, there exist dragons of many kinds. But one that stood out among them....was the legendary purple dragon, a rare breed of dragon born once every ten generations. Malefor was the first of that breed. He was a talented dragon growing up. He first mastered the element of fire, despite not being a fire dragon, and soon came the elements of wind and ice. Then earth and electricity and many more that none thought possible to master. In the end, he became the first dragon to utilize more than one element, when other dragons are restricted to one. His power was praised.....but was also feared.

Fearing his power would grow too great after he first showed signs of holding no restraint, the elders banished him into exile but he came back, filled with hatred and malice toward his own kind. He took the title of Dark Master and led an army of apes to do battle. But he failed.

Having been defeated in battle years later, Malefor was confined in the Well of Souls though his soul was trapped within Convexity, a world that acted as an airlock between the Dragon Realms and the Dark Realms. The elders believed that the Dark Master would be forever locked within his prison.....but they were wrong. Oh how wrong they were.....

After the next generation, the Dark Master was freed from his imprisonment thanks to the aid of both Gaul, the Ape King and Cynder, a black dragon who was born in the year of the dragon. But he was not fully released. As Cynder was undoing the seal on his prison, she was confronted by a young dragon. A purple dragon born in the same year as her.

His name....was Spyro.

The two battled fiercely but Spyro came out victorious and the Dark Master's hold over her was released. Unable to leave her behind, Spyro and Sparx, his dragonfly companion, brought the young dragoness back to the temple where they lived among the elders.

Months later, the Dark Master's army attacked and their leader, Gaul, captured Cynder and took her to the Well of Souls. Spyro sought after her and confronted the ape king. With his powers drained, Spyro had to rely on his own strength to defeat him. But that was where things took a turn for the worse.....

Spyro, being a purple dragon, had the power to wield many elements, much like the Dark Master. This left him vulnerable to The Darkness as it coursed through his body during his bout with Gaul. Using his new dark powers, Spyro defeated Gaul but his power caused the Well of Souls to become unstable and collapse. Unable to find a way out, Spyro used a unique power that he obtained through his journey to freeze himself, Sparx and Cynder in crystal, unaware of the changes that were happening to the world around them as they were frozen in time....

3 years had passed. We had almost given up hope and we believed the worse outcome had come to the young dragon. However, I believed that they were still alive. I had sent out a cheetah by the name of Hunter to seek out the three brave souls. They were still alive, older and still sealed in crystal. It wasn't long that they were freed, but soon encountered an issue: Servants of the Dark Master....

It was confirmed that he had been released in the time of their absence and he was set to carry out his plans. What he had planned was unknown at the time until the young dragons managed to get a rather horrifying bit of information. The Dark Master planned on "fulfilling the purple dragon's duty" and unleashing the destroyer to bring about the end of the world. He believed that in doing so, he would save it and make it reborn. But Spyro and Cynder objected to this, knowing that this was wrong. Thus began their final confrontation.

The two fought bravely, but in the end the destroyer reached its destination and began to bring about the end. But Spyro and Cynder were not yet done. They were not going to allow it all to end after they came so far. They continued to fight the Dark Master, even as the world was beginning to crumble. The struggle was difficult, but by using the power of Convexity, the two dragons defeated the Dark Master. But the world was still going to ruin. Time was short and all seemed lost. ..Until young Spyro came up with an idea. He reached deep inside of himself and Cynder watched on as Spyro used his power as a purple dragon to stop the end and save our world from destruction.

Time passed and I was brought before the one who oversees all. The Chronicler, as he was called, had bestowed upon me what was once his task: to watch over the Books of Time as they chronicle the events of all life among the Dragon Realms. With that, he vanished and I began to try and see if i could find any trace of Spyro and Cynder after the defeat of the Dark Master.

To this day, I can find no information on the whereabouts of the young dragon. But I know that he is still alive. And i know that he will live a happy and peaceful life....

Oh. Where are my manners? I forgot to introduce myself.

My name.....is Ignitus.

BGM 2

A book on one of the shelves begins to shine and catches the attention of Ignitus. He smiles and brings it before him and he raises an eyebrow upon opening the book.

"What's this? A new page has begun to be written." He mumbled to himself. "But how can this be? Spyro has yet to perish. Whose book is this?" Ignitus continued to observe the book and took notice that the individual within its pages was another dragon. It was a young grey dragon with green eyes and an ice-blue underbelly. As the pages went on, the dragon seemed to be changing. He was growing up. As the next page was chronicled, a name was whispered into his ear and he began to look at the book with a peculiar smile.

"I see. Well then.....let's see where your path takes you......Sora.
