Illuminate (A Legend of Spyro Fanfiction)

Chapter 1: Lumière

A/N: Hello to whomever may be reading this. This is a Spyro fanfiction I have been writing on FF.net and I'd thought I might as well share this in other sources as well. I suggest you read this in scroll-down like style, and not pages. Due to the fact this was written in mind of the style of FF.net. It'll look odd with the page style reading here on Wattpad if you tried reading that way. You don't have to, but I do recommend it.

To those who don't know anything about Spyro or more specifically the Legend of Spyro, you can infer events from the text if you don't feel like looking up the three games and the summaries of their plots.

Illuminate

Chapter 1: Lumière

-----------

The dragon didn't know how long has it been. Some time ago, the world was breaking apart literally, things were chaotic. He knew about the war, but he only knew it was a war. He didn't know the details about it though. But that didn't matter anymore. The world had began to fix itself, chunks of the world slowly reconnected, drifting towards pre-designated locations. He could feel all the movement. So perhaps it was the time to come out again. The dragon eyes darted to an opening of the cave, the light shined through without much obstruction. The exit of his home... He got up and took small paces towards the exit, closing his eyes as the light blinded him. His white scales reflected majestically against the light.

He reached the entrance of the cave and opened his eyes before looking away as the light burned his eyes due to the amount of time he spent in the cave. He took the time to adjust his eyes. After a moment the dragon looked around. Desolation. That was the view. There many dead trees and the land was reduced to lifeless ground and inanimate objects. The sky was grey and cloudy. Dust flew around him, covering the young dragon. The land stunk with the smell of burnt objects. The white dragon sighed, disheartened by the view. His gaze landed on a small plant. A plant, a healthy plant, completely untouched by whatever caused the fire.

He scanned the area before walking down to the plant and examined it. Noticing how it was unscathed it was, the dragon looked at his paw and raised it. Taking in a deep breath he moved his paw over the plant. His paw then glowed brightly as he released a burst of energy. Around him, the area grew with vegetation. Suddenly, it started to rain. Thunder boomed loudly shortly after. The dragon watched the rain drop around him, he sniffed the air. Grabbing in the moist scent the rain made. The dirt around him became moist and muddy. His scales were wet, and yet, shining. The sun was still there radiating with pure energy, shining as if today was the start of a new tomorrow.

The white dragon walked around, curious about the rain, he knew about rain of course, he just didn't see it often. So every time it rained, he would explore and see how different places would be. How nature would interact with rain. But before he could do that, he had to check something. the dragon spread his wings out and flew back into the cave and waited a moment, letting his eyes readjust to the dark cave. There was books around the floor, some closed, some open. The dragon noticed he was still wet, he didn't care at the moment. He was going back out soon anyways. There was a hiss as he felt an animal wrap around his foreleg. He looked down and smiled briefly, "Hey Vipek, nice to see your awake too."

The snake hissed softly as if he was greeting his larger friend. It crawled up to the dragon's wing and hung there. The dragon went back to what he was doing. He paused for a moment, a dusty old book caught his eye. He grabbed it, holding it in front of his face. "Light: The Pure Element," was the title, he opened the book and skimmed through it. This book talked about his element, it really didn't tell him anything new except the history of his element. He felt his pet crawl down and away. Not unusual of course. Vipek always went hunting around this time. The dragon read through his history thoroughly, noting anything that might concern him later.
