A/N: Welp here is my first fic constructive criticism is welcome.

Chapter 1 (Rewritten)

Ugh how should I start this, um...

Once upon a time?

No, too cliché…

There once was a boy- Nah to giddy…

Okay, I think I've got this…

I was walking on the side of the road in just minding my own business and enjoying the view of the forested area around me. It was a bit nippy that day so I had brought along my black hoodless sweatshirt along with a pair of dark blue jeans. But other than the cold it was a nice day to take a stroll by my lonesome.

You see I like to be alone, with my aunt and uncle fighting all the time I never really liked being in the house. Now you might be asking yourself "what happened to his mom and dad" well that is an entirely different story that I'd rather not talk about at the moment.

They weren't abusive or mean, my mother quite the opposite really. My dad on the other hand didn't really praise me let's put it at that.

Anyway I'm guessing by the title of this story you want to know about my time in the Dragon Realms. Yes I can break the forth wall, it's pretty easy once you learn how.

But I'm getting off topic, let me start with an introduction.

My name is Seth, I am about 5 foot 10, and I have dark brown hair with green eyes. Now I've started the story at the time where I first entered the realms and I happened to be 18 when it occurred.

Now the reason I was walking down the road is because I was going to my "special place" (no not that type of special you pervert) this place is a cave that I found a little while ago.

It's in a forest about a mile or two away from my house and I go there because it's one of the few ways that helps me get over my "incident" involving my parents.

I happened to find it one day when I was venturing out into the woods and it's actually a pretty neat place. Sure the first part of the cave is as bland and boring as can be but its what's at the end of it that makes it special.

At the very end of this cave there happens to be a large purple crystal growing out of the ground. I have no damn clue how no one has found it yet; I mean for god's sake it the thing glows. But I shouldn't be complaining, least I'm the only one who knows its there, I think…

But anyways I'm assuming you want know why I go there right?

Well… I talk to the crystal...

Don't you judge me, I already know I'm somewhat insane but you go through my "incident" and not go a little mental, then we'll talk.

But just to put your fears at rest... that crystal isn't the only thing I talk to.

I have one good friend I go to whenever I want to chat.

His name is Dean and he was one of the kids at my new school when I moved in with my aunt and uncle. He was the first kid a literally bumped into at the new school, but I was really anti-social so I shoved him off and was pretty much a complete ass to him.

But surprisingly he took it very well, he had pretty good intentions and just asked if I wanted to be friends with him.

I of course declined his offer but that didn't stop him.

He started to try and get to know me by first off "invading" my lunch table. I naturally was an ass and tried to stay away from him but he kept on persisting that try and warm up to him.

I have no damn clue why he did all of this but oddly enough his good gestures started to make me feel a bit better.

Then, about a month after I met him I snapped a bit, and he happened to be there when I did.

It resulted in me lashing out at him both with words and with fists. But with him being a jock and me being somewhat scrawny I barley did any damage to him and, to my embarrassment, I ended up breaking down in tears while he comforted me.

I don't really know why he did all of that stuff, but he was kind of like a brother to me and we ended up become good friends after all that.

But anyways… back to the matter at hand.

So there I was walking into the forest, following the markers that I put on the trees that lead me to the cave.

I then managed to reach the cave and walked inside, squinting a bit as the darkness made it difficult to see. But I managed to spot the purple glow that the crystal was giving off and I carefully walked towards it.

Once I reached the crystal I sat down next to it, getting comfortable.

It was a decent sized crystal, about half my size and it also had two smaller crystals growing around it.

I smiled at the crystal and said.

"Hi Danny how are you?" I asked.

Yes… I named it Danny.

There was only silence into cave for a bit, until I said.

"That's good" I "replied". "I had an okay day at school today, it's been nice ever since Dean started keeping the assholes off of me."

Then there was more silence…

"Yeah I know right?" I said. "The good news is that I got another A on my test today."

And more silence…

"Thanks that means a lot…" I said as I smiled at the crystal "You flatter me too much Danny."

I think you get the idea…

Meanwhile in another dimension...

"Spyro stop!" Cynder said out of desperation.

Spyro glared over at Sparx and Cynder.

"Whoa calm down man it's me." Sparx said hastily.

Spyro then gained a face of recognition.

"I-I can't..." He replied weakly, realizing what he was doing.

Spyro was in the suspended in the air as a beam light shined around him within the Well of Souls. He couldn't control the darkness inside of him and the whole place was collapsing due to his power.

Cynder leaped to get Spyro out of the beam but was blocked by some type of force field. She stumbled backwards and landed next to Sparx.

"What happened?!" Sparx asked.

Cynder shakily got to her feet and shook her head.

"I don't know, there is some type of shield around Spyro, I need to break it so I can get him out of there." She replied.

She then covered herself in shadows and charged at the shield. She had enough force to successfully break through it and she tackled Spyro out of the beam.

Back with Seth.

At that point, after all of those damn months of talking to a crystal day after day... I started to realize how idiotic this was.

I placed my hand on my head. "Ugh… what am I doing with my life?" I thought aloud. "I'm just sitting here talking to a damn crystal that will never reply?"

I then sighed a bit. 'God I'm a moron…' I thought.

I then got up and half-heartedly kicked the crystal "Stupid piece of shit…" I mumbled and started to walk away.

But then, I realized that the purple glow on the walls around me started to become more intense.

'Huh?' I thought as I turned around to look the crystal. The crystal was starting to get brighter and brighter making me a bit curious.

'The hell?' I thought as I walked over to it in order to get a better look.

I kneeled down and inspected the crystal, squinting my eyes a bit as it started to get somewhat bright.

Suddenly, part of the crystal exploded, sending shards of it everywhere. I stumbled back shielding my eyes with my hand as some of the shard hit me.

"AH!" I shouted, panicking a bit. "I'm sorry Danny I didn't mean it!"

I then heard a large snapping sound and I unshielded my eyes to see that the crystal now had a large crack down the middle of it.

Another part of the crystal exploded, sending more shards in my direction. I quickly shielded my eyes and crouched down a bit.

"I TAKE IT BACK DANNY YOU'RE NOT A PIECE OF SHIT!" I shouted, not wanting crystal shards lodged in my skull.

The crystal then shinned a blinding light and the rest of it exploded. The force of the explosion knocked me flat on my ass.

'Aw dammit…' I thought as I rubbed my back.

I then felt wind against my back, which confused me since I was inside of a cave. I then opened my eyes and my jaw dropped.

There was some sort of vortex in front of me that was seemingly creating the wind in the cave. The outside of it was giving off a purple glow while the inner part was a darker purple and it was pulsating, showing a tunnel like shape within it.

'What the-' I began to think, but my thoughts were interrupted when I was thrust forward. I flailed out my arms in an attempt to grab something but it was too late and I was pulled into the vortex.

"SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-" I screamed right before I blacked out.

Now to Cynder

"Spyro..." Sparx trailed off.

Spyro gave Sparx a sad look and said. "What have I done?"

Cynder gave Spyro a sympathetic look.

"It's okay Spyro, you're with friends." Cynder said in a comforting tone.

There was a loud "CRACK" and Cynder's head snapped over to the portal produced by the Well of Souls.

A figure was then thrown from the portal and landed a few feet away from her.

"What is THAT?!" Sparx shouted.

Cynder thought it was the Dark Master for a second but then she realized the shape was wrong.

She then cautiously walked up to it for a better look.

Once she reached it she raised an eyebrow at its appearance.

It almost looked like an ape but the only fur it had was some dark brown fur on the top of its head.

It was also wearing some type of robes like the cheetahs wear but it didn't like any robes she had previously seen. The top robe was black and the bottom dark blue, it also had some things on its feet that were also black or that could've just been its feet for all she knew.

"I'm not sure..." She replied, still looking it over. "It looks like a furless ape."

"An ape? Kill it kill it!" Sparx shouted out of distress.

Cynder just shook her head. 'He's such a hatchling…'

"Wait, I want to know what it is." Cynder stated as she continued to inspect the creature.

'It's so strange..." She thought. 'What is it?'

The creature then groaned and started to rise to its feet.

"Anyone get the number on that bus?" It spoke as it shakily stood up on two legs.

'What's a bus?' Cynder thought she backed up a bit out of caution.

The creature then slowly opened up its green eyes. It then took one look at Cynder, and its eyes widened.

"What the hell!?" It shouted as it stumbled backwards.

Cynder was just about question the creature but the cave began to rumble and boulders fell in front of her. She jumped back in a fright, and looked up at the ceiling to see that the whole cave was beginning to collapse.

"Get close to me NOW!" Spyro shouted at Cynder.

Cynder was about to run to Spyro, but she looked back at the strange creature. She saw that the creature's head was darting back and forth, presumedly panicking due to the massive rocks falling from the ceiling.

"But what about-" Cynder was cut off when another crack emitted from the portal and a purple bolt was shot out from the portal towards the creature.

The bolt then connect with the creature and it was then frozen solid inside of a dark purple crystal.

"Cynder NOW!" Spyro ordered.

Cynder took one last look at the ape before she ran over to Spyro.

Spyro then began to glow and everything went black.

A/N: There is my first chapter if there is some grammatical errors I missed (Probably a lot) feel free to correct me I will try to improve next time and I hope to update soon until then Idiocy01 out.

(Edit: Oh look at this… a year and a half of this thing being out and I finally decided to edit the first chapter. Reason for it? Come on, we all know how terrible it was… I had to edit the damn thing.

And to those of you who are new to the fic note that the second chapter isn't edited and it's terribly written… sorry, this was the first fic I ever wrote so…)
