"Why are two regular dinos here?". "Is that a Spinebreaker?". "Is that a giga". "what the hell is happening?". These questions were all directed towards Spyro, even Bokito, Kai and Mufasa were also shocked as they didn't know we would be hear, only Arachnid, Spyro, Hollowjack and the rest of the mini bosses knew we were there. Finally Spyro really loudly instantly silencing everyone, Spyro than said "Yes I know I broke the law of the council, but it has been broken before in dire circumstances and this is very dire." Flame said "My lord, you could have at least told us beforehand!" To this Spyro replied "I did not feel it necessary with all the commotion and the reports." This time Venator said "My lord, is it really necessary to bring a non boss or non provincial leader here?" Spyro again said "If you let me explain to you my discovery than I swear you will realize why these two are here." Than most surprising of all Mufasa said "Brother, you should have et least told your siblings about this." To this Spyro replied "You three came in late on purpose, Arachnid didn't say anything, that is because I told her, because she came early". "Fair enough" replied Bokito. Than Frost said "You shouldn't have hidden this from us Spyro, I just hope these 2 have good information." Spyro looked at Gigant first and said "Speak Gigant, tell them about your 3 years in the Lost Isles." 

Gigant took a deep breath and started talking "I was sent by Lord Spyro to scout out The Lost Isles for 3 years without Carcha noticing as Lord Spyro thought it necessary to be discreate, anyways I was able to live of the land and while I wont go into too much detail, here is what I have learned, during the 1st year, nothing much happened, the only major thing was that the skull crawlers seemed to gather together near the entrance to Tartarus. Than in the second year, the leader of the Indoms came and met the leader of the Skull crawlers, he just one day flew, being carried by four desmodi in their claws. he talked for a while with the skull crawler leader than left, I listened to everything while in a bush. Than the next day 50 Skull crawlers climbed out of the Pit in the dead of night, I don't know how but they managed to climb all the way. Maybe something for Tartarus gave them energy. I don't know, anyways the next night 50 more climbed out, than more, I hoped the Pit guard and Carcha would notice but I guess they didn't go near the Pit entrance.(At this Carcha looked down in shame). Anyways at the end of year 2 only 5% of the total population remained, except for the Skull Crawler leader who had already left. Than in the third year 500 desmodi came and 4 at a time carried out 1 skull crawler, I still don't  the Pit guard didn't notice. Anyways at the end of year 3, I decided that the intended time of me staying down there was over and I decided to go to the Pit guard and give them all the information. But on my way I saw 2 Skull crushers and 2 Indoms activating a portal and going somewhere, this was a remote teleportation device guarded by 4 Skull Crawlers, so I managed to kill them, than disabled the portal in such a way that it would only be fit for 1 more teleport, me. I had decided to chase those 4 creatures wherever they had gone to and to deal with them. I stepped through the portal only to find myself in the Center. I located a skull crawler and Indom near the edge, they had killed a poor Gallimimus and were feasting on it. I killed both of them and moved on to the other pair. The other 2 I found in the outskirts of the Center, the purple Indom had already bee killed and nearby I heard struggling, so I went to the noise and found my old buddy Spinebreaker here, I helped him and the rest is history."

Everyone in the room was silent, 3 years, my friend had spent the last 3 years in that hellhole and had survived. Carcha said "You should have told me that you were down there Gigant." To this Gigant replied "And you should have done something about the escaping Skull Crawlers Carcha." Carcha again lowered his head in shame. Groot said "You managed to survive in that hellhole for 3 years!? I don't know about everyone else but to me you are worthy of being here, you have far exceeded most of our expectations." "Indeed" said Frost "You are truly worthy of being a part of our council even if it is for today". Besides me I could see Gigant gaining some pride, he said "Thank you my lords, anything to serve ARK and its people.
