Previous ChapterNext Chapter

After Spike and Spyro went to try and find out what to do, Spike was still left in his thought's on what they'll be able to do to find his mother. Spike's been doing what he can to study about Dragon kind in this world, and learning how different it works. But it made Spike just wonder what it was like for his mother in this world, where she was during all this time, and what exactly she had to learn as a child.

Since Purple Dragon's are extremely rare here, it's likely she had to learn special stuff too just like him and Spyro, but since she was able to send him that letter that informed him of her being in this world, it made Spike wonder what else she could do, and if she's trying more to help them find her when the time comes.

As Spike and Spyro were out in the field's currently, it was around noon by now, and Spike was just reading another book on dragon kind, learning that here, dragons can use magic too, and with what they can use can help them with many tasks that can be done around here, it was really fascinating to him, and while that was happening, Spyro was just feeling bored again from not doing much at all here.
"Do you really have to still be studying here Spike? We still have plenty of time to relax and hang out some more, do you know how long these sessions can go on these days?" Spyro asked a bit bored while Spike only shook his head and closed the book he was reading.

"Sorry Spyro, but there's just a lot that I'm wanting to learn about with this world, with how different it is from Equestria, it makes me wonder if there's anything that could help me find my mother, she could've used some type of magic to send me the letter in the first place. And I'm trying to see if there's anything I can find to help me track her, or at least get more clue's as to where she is." Spike replied as Simon flew right next to him.

Spyro sighed again hearing that, and despite how important it was for him to find his real birth mother, especially after that slimeball tricked him, Spyro's not wanting his buddy to overwork himself.
"Spike, I understand your wanting to learn more about it, heck you've been learning a lot faster then I have in the past few month's, but don't you think your pushing yourself a bit too hard here?" Spyro asked with worry which Spike didn't look concerned over.

"Don't worry about that Spyro, some time's one just have to study harder then most in order to keep up, I've got so much I need to catch up with, and I'm barely even getting started, can't imagine what Nestor or the other leader's are gonna teach us when we get proper lessons from them." Spike replied as they both sat down on the grass and looked over the many dragon's flying around the sky, they were heading down to the portal's that lead to different town's and world's outside of this one,, which did fascinate Spike on how they operate.

"Heh, I can see that, but I'm sure by next year or so you'll be fully caught up with my studies and probably be ahead of me, I haven't seen someone like you so eager to study since I started learning here, most kids around here during they're free time just like to play games or do whatever with the time they have, just trying to find what they could do to have fun here." Spyro said as he reflected on what's happened before he met Spike here.

This only made Spike yawn a bit as a result, since he did feel a bit tired from all that studying he did.
"Yeah, I can understand that studying for hours can be exhausting when we do it so much, my guardian did that so much, she kept falling asleep at her desk at times after reading too much, often leaving me to take care of the house for her, man I miss those days." Spike said with a light chuckle which got Spyro concerned over hearing that.

"Do you think she's worried over you right now? You did just leave without saying much of a goodbye right?" Spyro asked with concern which made Spike flinch a bit as he remembered he only left a letter for Twilight and the other's before he left without a trace to even find where he went too.

"Knowing her.. she's probably freaking out right now, I just had a lot going through my mind during that moment, and after I was lied too by Sludge, I just wanted to do what I could to find her, this letter felt so real and like it was from her, I.. I couldn't just ignore it.." Spike said with guilt as he took out the letter she sent him.

This made Simon look really sad knowing that it's affected him like this, Spike showed Spyro the letter in full again, helping him see just how much it meant to him, with how long he went his life without ever meeting her, it really hit him in ways he hasn't felt in a long time, and Spyro just felt regret knowing it.
"I'm sorry you had to handle something like this so suddenly Spike, but at least that your here now, we'll be able to help you find her right? Nestor and the other leader's are doing what they can to find out where she could be, but we just need to relax for a bit, and take in the time we have alright?" Spyro asked as Spike sighed again and put the letter away in a bag he was carrying for now.

"I guess so Spyro, still, I just wish there was more I could know about her, anything that let me know, what she was like.." Spike said sadly as he took in this moment to think over what it could be like when he meets her.

As Spike said all of this, it made Simon remember a special place that his mother had that was well hidden, and only he knew where it was, if it could help them find her soon, then they need to see what could be there. Simon soon flew in front of the group, trying to let them know about something important.
"What's he saying Spyro?" Spike asked as he still didn't understand his language yet, and Spyro only raised an eyebrow while looking at Sparx who was just as confused.

"He's saying there's a place he wants to take us, somewhere not too far." Spyro answered which made them both stand up, wondering where he was wanting to take them.

"Where do you think that is?" Spike asked with interest while Simon started flying a bit ahead towards the upper level's of the lands to lead them there.

"Well we won't know by staying here! Come on! Let's see where he's going!" Spyro said with an eager look as he spread out his wings and took to the sky again, and Spike soon followed behind to see what he's heading too.

"Hold on Spyro, don't you think we should tell Nestor about this? This could be really important." Spike asked with worry if he should know about this.

"We'll tell him later once we get back, he's got that interview in just a bit! Let's not interrupt him, we'll just ask him after it's done, come on." Spyro replied as he flew ahead even faster to catch up with Simon who was pretty fast, while Spike was still concerned about this, he had a strange feeling Simon knew more then he let on, but until they find out more about him, wherever he's going, he needs to see what's there too.

"Alright then, let's see where your taking us Simon." Spike told himself before he quickly sped up and did his best to keep up with Spyro, it felt really great to be flying through the air like this, he's still getting used to having wing's and being able to fly after being grounded most his life, but it still felt really great to fly like all the other dragons he's seen here, and in Equestria.

Spike, Spyro and Simon flew alongside eachother as Simon was trying to find where he remembered this location was, while they found it concerning on how he suddenly knows where to find a place that could help, they're just gonna role with it for now, and they quickly flew up to him as he began flying down towards the water, Spike smiled a bit and brushed his hand across the water, feeling the nice cold water below him, and it only made Spyro laugh a bit seeing this.

"See, this is pretty fun right?" Spyro asked playfully which Spike laughed at as a result too.

"You can say that again! I'll race you!" Spike declared which Spyro was eager to do.

"Your on! Let's fly!" Spyro said with a laugh as they flew as fast as they could to keep up with Simon who was happy to see the two of them get a long.

As all of this was happening, the interview Nestor was having with Bog, Astor, and Lindar was about to begin, and he was making sure every current report he got was recent and knew what to say when asked about them.
"Alright, that should do it. We're on!" Nestor said as they saw the camera was recording while Astor was nearly falling asleep, and was soon shooken up by the director speaking out to him.

"We're all rolling Astor!" He announced which shook him out of his sleep so they could begin this interview.

"So, you were here to tell us about how thing's are going on in the Dragon World's here today Astor?" The guy asked as Astor tried remembering the detail over everything he currently knows.

"Sorry about that, it's been really peaceful here in the 5 Dragon Worlds! Or is it six? And for A Dragons age, we currently have over 12,000 treasure safely stored, or.. is it 14,000?" Astor asked himself as this was going live all across the worlds, including the world to someone else who lives far away from here.

"What about this Gnasty Gnore character? I understand he's said to have found a magic spell that will turn gem's into weapons or monster's for his cause?" He asked with concern as Lindar came up after hearing that.

"I'll take that question, Gnasty Gnorc, is a simple creature." Lindar answered as Gnorc himself was watching this and was caught off guard hearing that.

"Simple?!" Gnasty Gnorc asked with rage as his full attention was on this report now.

"He has been contained in a remote world that is no threat to the Dragon kingdom." Lindar assured again which infuriated him even more.

"No threat?!" Gnorc asked with an even more upset look as he kept getting insulted even more.

"Besides, he is ugly." Lindar finished which finally made him snap.

"Ugly?! That does it!" Gnorc said to himself as he went to retrieve his special staff he used to use this spell he learned recently as Nestor was being asked another question.

"So uh, Nestor, we've been hearing reports of a mysterious cloaked figure has been traveling around the Dragon World's recently, do you have any answers on who that could be, or if they're something we should worry about?" He asked again which made Nestor think of a proper answer.

"We've heard about this report too, and we've been searching all over each world to find who this person is, rest assured, we won't stop until we find them. There's a lot of questions we have ourselves about this person." Nestor answered which interested him.

"Really? Do you think there's more to this figure then we know? I've heard recently that a second purple dragon has been living at the temple with the rest of you, who is he?" He asked again which was difficult for Nestor to explain, and as that was happening, Gnasty Gnorc found the staff he was using and prepared to use the spell against every dragon around every world.

"That's.. complicated to answer.." Nestor admitted as he tried finding a way to explain Spike's sudden arrival here. But he couldn't do that anymore as Gnasty Gnork raised his staff in the air and shot a giant green blast into the sky from his world, and that instantly traveled towards every dragon across every world, and they were all frozen upon contact instantly from being hit with them, and this only made Gnorc chuckle sinisterly as he saw his work easily be achieved.

"Let's see if those special purple dragons can stop this.." Gnorc said to himself as he chuckled like a maniac while turning off the Tv he had.

As this was happening, the figure from the cave we saw before was watching over all of this, and she was getting very concerned seeing that spell reach every dragon there was, no matter how hard it was to find them, every single one across the worlds got hit, and it really scared her knowing her child and Spyro could be the only one's left.

"If that spell has trapped every dragon in a crystal, it means Gnasty Gnorc really found a spell that froze all of them.." She said with a growl as she started to stand up from knowing what's going on. But as she stood up, she could sense the same blast was coming straight towards her too.

She looked at the entrance of her cave and saw the blast burst through it without any effort, it flew right towards her in an attempt to encase her in a crystal too. But she only raised a single claw in front of it and caught the blast with no effort at all, the light from it illuminated her body, showing off even more features that made her look very similar to Spike in many ways.

"These kinds of spells have no affect on Purple Dragons, my son and that dragon he's with won't even be affected, and something like this, only wastes my time." She said with a growl before she threw the spell to the side and it crashed into the wall nearby and was destroyed instantly.

The figure thought over how dangerous that spell is, and knowing that Gnorc is likely using this time he has to begin trying to take over the Dragon Kingdom, she knew she had to do something about it, no matter what, and if she wants to see her son again, she needs to find a way to help.
"Let's hope you'll be able to reach him son, I'll find you soon. But I just hope you'll be safe." She prayed as she looked out the cave and started running towards it to find out where to find this freak.

"You will pay for this Gnasty Gnorc! Count on that!" She shouted before she put up her hood and began flying into the sky's away from the deserted looking island she was on, beginning her quest to take down this monster.

Meanwhile with Spike and Spyro, they were lead to a cave entrance that was really well hidden on the outer reaches of the Artisans world, they had to swim through an open tunnel below it just to reach it, and as they emerged from the water to catch some air again, they were really exhausted with how much they had to fly here.
"Man, that felt like it took forever! " Spyro said with a tired look as they crawled out of the water and onto the sandy floor around them.

"Yeah, who knew there was a cave entrance in the water like that? Crazy." Spike replied as he stretched out his arms, and as Simon flew back up to them to show them where they are, they soon took in the place they found to see where they were.

They were lead to a strange looking cave with multiple crystal's around the wall to illuminate the place, there were tons of book's on some shelves that were somehow carved into the walls themselves, almost like they were formed there by magic, there were some sleeping supplies near the end of the cave where a fireplace was shown, and a desk full of strange art material's that look that they haven't been used in years.

"What is this place?" Spyro asked with confusion as they explored the small cave, it looked like someone lived here a long time ago, but whoever it was, looks to be long gone by now.

"I think someone lived here years ago Spyro, but they've probably found another place to live or something like that." Spike suggested which really confused Spyro on how this place wasn't found before.

"How did Simon even know this place was here? What could there be for us that could help?" Spyro asked as Simon flew by Spike again who was just as curious about this too.

"Yeah, how do you know about this place?" Spike asked as well while they looked at Simon, hoping he'd answer. And Simon tried his best to find a way to answer without giving too much, and he found an answer that could help with that.

He only gave a small answer that could help, and even Spyro was confused on what that meant.
"Weird, he's saying the dragon he used to look after lived here.. and that some time ago, they left him to find someone else.." Spyro translated which Spike was surprised by.

"Really? Who could've lived here? Did you really have another dragon to look over before us Simon?" Spike asked with concern as he looked at the desk and tried finding anything to help, but he only found a small shard of a crystal that was glowing, almost like it was being used for something important, or even left behind.

Simon only nodded as a yes to his previous question, but that still didn't help Spike with everything else he was going through.
"I still don't understand, why would this place just be left alone like this? Who lived here?" Spike asked with concern while he took the crystal and put it in his bag for later.

Spyro didn't know how to answer this either, looking around the place, it looked like this person spent a lonely life here, whoever lived here, must've had it rough in way's they don't know yet.
"I don't know Spike, but I guess that just makes things more interesting, do you think there's more caves like this out in the other worlds like this?" Spyro questioned as they looked around the cave together.

"I.. think there could be, do you.. think they could find a way to help us find my mother?" Spike asked with worry as they tried finding out what this means.

"I.. think we should head back to the temple to ask Nestor about this, maybe he'll allow us to explore the other worlds and find more caves like this? The sooner we get answers to your mother, the better it will be for us." Spyro suggested which Spike liked the sound of.

"Yeah, you said you were wanting to do more then study all the time, so maybe a little adventure like this could work? Who knows, it could even be fun?" Spike said with a light smile which Spyro was happy to agree with.

"Yeah! We've been studying for so long, I've barely had time to fully explore these worlds! Let's head back and tell Nestor about this!" Spyro declared as he was running towards the exit that was through the same tunnel they had to swim through before.

"Right behind you! Let's go!" Spike said as he and Spyro jumped into the water again and started to swim back outside, Spike was still questioning on how Simon knew about this place, and the more he thinks about it, Simon could have a deeper connection to his mother then he first thought, he just hopes that soon, they'll find out more about him, and where he came from.


Author's Note

Thanks for reading this everyone! Sorry for the wait on this chapter again, I just had other stories to work on. But I've been planning out on how this story will go along since the last chapter, and I think I have a good idea on how to fully adapt the games into this story, so the next one will start with the Artisans world, and each chapter following will have Spike and Spyro travel across each world till they confront Gnasty Gnorc, I know that sound simple, but I'll do what I can to help blend Spike into the story with what I have planned for it.

Again, very sorry for the long wait on this chapter, but I'll be sure to make sure it's complete one day, there's a lot I have planned for this story, and I hope your all interested in seeing more of it! Thanks for reading this, and have a good day!
