Sonny flew through the sky, feeling the wind sweep over her. She turned her head to the side to see her babies flying after her. The child in the lead was her youngest son Cyrus. Following behind him was Sony's youngest daughter Angia. Her two eldest children followed behind. Sonny clicked her beak at the griffin chicks, signaling to them to hurry up. The griffin chicks came to there mother, and lined up so they could continue there practice flight.

Sonny was about to show them how to dive when a falling light caught her eye. Sonny felt a shock of fear run through her. "It can't be. It just can't be…" Sonny thought in horror. She had to report to Eon immediately. "Children. We have to return home now." Sonny said to her babies. A chorus of complaints rose from the fledglings, but a stern click issued by Sonny shut them up. Sonny flew beneath Cyrus and Angia letting them ride on top of her back.

Her older children flew at her side. Sonny quickly flew off to warn her master about the comet.

Cyrus rested on his mother's back, feeling the wind fly through his feathers. He stared mournfully at the sky, yearning to resume his lessons. He wondered what had unnerved his mother so much. It had to be something terrible to make her fly away so quickly. Excitement ran through Cyrus as he thought about tracking the mysterious something down. Maybe if he defeated the creature then Eon would allow him to become a skylander, despite the fact that he was underage.

It had always been Cyrus's and his siblings' dream to be skylanders and follow in there mothers footsteps. Besides wanting to be like his mother, Cyrus wanted to be a skylander so that one day, when he found his father, the young griffin would be looked upon with respect. Cyrus sighed contently as he daydreamed about becoming a skylander. In his hazy visions, he saw himself and his siblings as fully fledged skylanders. Cyrus looked upon the cheering croud in his daydream and noticed an unfamiliar face.

He had no clue how he aquired this knowledge, but he knew the mysterious face was the face of his father. Cyrus smiled at the gryphon, and the stranger smiled back in his mind Cyrus heard his father saying "I'm proud of you my precious son…" the words his father spoke had an echoing dreamlike qualitie to them. The sound sent waves of peace and happiness over Cyrus, and he knew he had to do something, anything to become a skylander and please his father. He then vowed to himself that he would find the mysterious something that alarmed his mother, and destroy it, so when he finaly met his father, he would be known as a hero…

Mean while in another world… earth.

A young girl sat at the edge of a lake. She had planed on going to school today but had ditched and ran to the lake instead when she saw Tobin and his gang. Tobin was the school bully, and often tormented this particular young girl because she lived under the care of the child protective services. The girl dangled her feet in the lake letting the cool waters swirl around her. She looked at her reflection in the lake, studying her self. The lake showed the face of a young girl with pale skin, short mouse brown hair, with long bangs that hung over one eye. The eye that wasn't covered seemed to be a strange green color. What captivated the girl the most about her reflection was no trait of hers, instead it was an object that hung on her slender neck.

The object was a golden heart shaped locket that her grandmother had given her. The girl had adored her grandmother, and looked to her as her mother figure since her own mother had been deemed unfit to care for her. The girl Thressa had lived with her grandmother for four years until the old woman's death. An obnoxious voice jarred Thressa out of her memories. "Well if it isn't the lovely Theresa. To lazy to show up at school again eh?"

"Go to Hell Tobin." Theresa said, trying to ignore the fury she felt towards him. ever since she was seven years old, Tobin had taunted and tormented her, Thressa had had enough of his constant insults. Tobin grabbed Theresa by the neck of her black shirt, and brought her close to his face. "You go to hell you fucking parasite." He snarled at her. Theresa looked in to Tobin's ice blue eyes, and looked at his brown skin caked with sweat and some mud. He had obviously had PE before he was let out of class. His breath stank of what smelt like rotten onions. "Parasite. That's the best insult you could come up with?" Theresa responded.

Tobin shoved Theresa harshly to the ground, he then gripped the locket that she wore, tore it from his victim's neck, and hurled it in to the lake. "NO!" Theresa screamed. "Fetch bitch!" Tobin said kicking Theresa harshly, and then he walked off laughing. Theresa leapt to her feet and ran to the lake. She then leapt in the lake and started to look for her beloved locket.

She had to resurface and go back under multiple times before she finally found it. Theresa "who was under water at this point." Grabbed the locket off of a rusty tin can and breathed a sigh of relief, only to have a mouthful of water rush in to her lungs.

Theresa quickly resurfaced and then coughed up some water. She clutched the locket to her chest for a moment before tying it back around her neck. Theresa looked at the locket and saw that it seemed to glow. "I guess lake water is good for cleaning things." Theresa muttered. A bright light started to radiate around the locket, engulfing Theresa. She had no clue what was happening, but she now knew that this was more then just a heavy duty cleaning.

The ground beneath Theresa seemed to vanish, and she felt the sensation of flying. Bright purple lights swirled around her, and silver stars leapt at her face. Thressa screamed as the odd sensations continued. She wondered briefly if she was sick, or if Tobin kicked her to hard. Those thoughts quickly vanished when she suddenly felt as if she were in freefall. She screamed loudly, terrified of what was happening around her. She saw a patch of dirt materialize beneathe her, and hit the patch with a harsh impact. Theresa felt her teeth rattle, and felt like her brain was in a blender. she barely had time to catch her breath when an obnoxious hateful voice flowed through Theresa's ears.

"Well, if it isn't a portal master apprentice. Won't Eon be pleased? Theresa glared angrily at the ground; she then looked up and screamed "shut up Tobin!" Theresa stared in shock as she saw the owner of the voice. She had no clue who he was, but she could say with certainty that he defiantly wasn't Tobin. Theresa started to laugh uncontrollably.

"What are you laughing at?" The stranger shouted.

"You. You look like a monkey. Mr. Monkey man." Theresa said breaking in to another fit of giggles.

The stranger's eyes filled with outrage. He summoned a black ball of energy, and hurled it at Theresa. The energy struck Theresa, throwing her backwards in to a rock. A burning pain filled her shoulder, and she briefly wondered how the hell summoning a ball of black light was possible when the stranger summoned a black sword that radiated with magical energies. Theresa closed her eyes, expecting to feel the rest of her body on fire like her shoulder, but the sensation never came. She opened her eyes a crack to see the monkey man cornered by other strangers.

Black wings grew on her attackers back, and he flew in to the sky. Thresa wondered how this was also possible, and the other people Theresa saw looked confused by this but said nothing. One of the strangers advance toward Theresa and asked

"are you ok?"

"I'm fine…" Theresa grumbled.

"My name is Sophia. The stranger said. "I'll take you to master Eon so you can recover."

Theresa nodded her head, like what she saw was perfectly normal. She looked around, wanting to find out where she was at. She noticed a large black bird staring at her. the bird had the paws, and tail of a lion, as well as the face and body of a bird. Thressa knew that she was looking at a gryphon. Memories of her grandmother assailed Thressa as she looked at the magnificent creature before her. her grandmother had told her stories about griffins and dragons, she had also told Thressa stories about people known as skylanders, for some reason this creature made Thresa remember those stories. Thressa turned to the gryphon, and said

"Your real!"

The gryphon stared oddly at Thressa upon hearing this comment, but she simply said,

"Of course I'm real! Why wouldn't I be?

Thressa steped towards the gryphon, and put her hand on the creatures head. She stoked the gryphon's pointed yet soft ears, and felt the cold metal helmet that the majestic creature wore. Thresa smiled as she felt the feathers of the gryphon. They felt so real! This was deffinatly one of the better hallucinations Thressa had.

The bird stared at her oddly, but didn't order the human to stop petting her. Thresa turned to the Sophia, and the green person besides her. she then started to touch the face of the two green skinned creatures. She pet there hair, and gently tugged there ears.

"Your real…" Thresa sighed in ecstasy.

For so long she had dreamed of her grandmother's stories, and prayed that something like that existed, and now here she was, living in one of the stories her grandmother told her. a sudden cold feeling swept over Thressa as she realized this was all just a hallucination. Sure it felt more realistic then the other hallucinations she had experienced, but that didn't change the fact that this was only happening inside her mind. She decided to forget that she was dreaming, and just enjoy her time in this deranged vision. Her heart aced knowing that any miniute this strange new world could vanish from her grasp, and she would be stuck in New York City again, with Tobin and his gang. She shook that thought away, and decided to enjoy her time here. Thressa followed the two green people who mentioned that they wanted to take her to meet someone.

The two green people took hold of Theresa, noticing that she couldn't walk to well on her own, and half dragged her to there home. When Theresa and the others arrived at the ruins, Theresa collapsed by a tree.

"Flameslinger, wait with her while Sonny and I tell master Eon what has happened." Sophia instructed. "

Of course." Flameslinger replied. Theresa watched Sophia run away. Black spots filled Theresa's vision, making her feel dizzy.

"Are you alright?" Flameslinger asked.

"I don't think so." Theresa groaned. She couldn't even be sure of what she was seeing. Her head felt like daggers were being put in to it. Theresa wondered briefly if she was waking up, and returning to reality. The Thought made her panic.

"Not now, please not now… I don't want to return…" Thressa moaned. Blackness swamped her vision, her protests died away, and she saw no more.

Flameslinger stared in horror as he watched the girl faint. "Don't die, don't die!" Flameslinger called, slapping the girl over the face. Sophia had charged him to look after the girl they rescued. Yet the girl seemed to be dying at this very moment. "Please wake up." Flameslinger whispered. He groaned at the girl's lack of a response. "Flameslinger!" his mate called to him "shit…" Flameslinger muttered. He really didn't want to tell Sophia about the girl. Sophia leapt down to the girl's side.

"Hey, you wake up." The girl's eyes opened and she mumbled in a groggy tone

"I'm still here?"

"Yeah why wouldn't you be?" Flameslinger asked.

"I expected to be back at the lake, that's where I last fell asleep."

"No you fell asleep here." Sophia said.

"No… I… I'm so confused aren't I?" the girl said.

"Do you remember your name?" Flameslinger asked.

"Of course, I may be confused but I'm not stupid. My name is Theresa.

"Do you remember my name?" Sophia asked. Theresa paused for a moment concentrating intently.

"You are Sophia." She said.

"Yes, very good. Do you know his name?" Sophia asked pointing at Flameslinger.

More concentration and then

"you are Flameslinger."

"Very good." Flameslinger said. Theresa's eyebrows knitted up and she said

"who is he?"

Flameslinger and Sophia turned to see Eon walking towards them.

"Master Eon." Sophia and Flameslinger greeted him in unison, bowing there heads in respect to him. Eon nodded to the skylander signaling them to rise up.

"Is this the apprentice?" Eon asked.

Flameslinger and Sophia nodded there heads yes.

"Hello young one, what is your name?"

"My name is Theresa. Who are you?" Theresa croaked.

"My name is Eon. I am leader of the skylanders."

"Skylanders… I have heard of them before." Theresa sighed, as once again memories of her grandmother assailed her.

Welcome to the skylands Theresa. Come with me and I'll find you some place to stay."

Theresa stood, limped a few steps, and then fell. Eon caught her and led her rest of the way, to a place he called the StarWay tower.
