Once Kaos came down into the underground prison, he forced some kind of a collar down along my neck and a leash. He warns me if I try to get away, the collar will shoot excruciating pain down my body. So not having many choices, I obey.

I am taken far, far away from Kaos home. I am brought to a mountain that held an ancient tome. It was written in a language I was unfamiliar of and couldn't understand.

"Okay...so if we read this, your memories will come back! And if your memories come back, you will wreak destruction on all of Skylands!" Announces Kaos before bursting into a fit of laughter.

"Wha--?! You don't know that--!!" I defend. "Oh, but I do. I know your story-- the one Glumshanks blammbled on to you. But if you regain your memories, you'll be able to remember what caused you to loathe both Skylands and it's citizens so much to the point you wanted to destroy it!" Smirks Kaos.

"But destroying Skylands would be futile and foolish-- because of Master Eon and the other Skylanders would stop me!"

"She has a point." Admits Glumshanks as he shrugs.

"But most of all, I can never imagine myself hurting the ones I love-- I can never imagine bringing destruction down on the ones who gave me shelter and warmth." I add.

"Well.. too bad, too sad, cause your going to." Comebacks Kaos with an evil yet confident smile. Kaos approaches the tombStone and begins to read the words written upon it as easily as he spoke English. How was he familiar with the language...? Oh right-- Kaos and Eon are special human individuals who has a longer lifespans than most. They have lived long enough to have known me back before I forgot everything.

But soon after Kaos read the words scripted upon the towering ancient tome, everything goes to blank, but from that moment forward I remember everything about my past-- but I forget my following actions to come.

Spyro along with Stealth Elf, Eruptor, Jet Vac, Gill Grunt, Boomer, Zap, and Master Eon searched Skylands for Kiyomi. They had no idea where Kaos secrete lair was, so...

"Argh...that darn Kaos-!! What does he want Kiyomi for so badly?!" Blurts out Spyro in frustration. Spyro was sick and tired of this searching. Especially since he didn't do very well at playing games like hide and seek.

"To destroy Skylands." Mutters Master Eon. "Wait...what?!" Spyro along with everyone turns to Master Eon in both confusion and surprise. Most were wondering if they just heard the man right.

"Kaos wanted Kiyomi so he can use her to destroy Skylands." Repeats Master Eon. "I-Is he stupid? Kiyomi would never do that!" Shouts Spyro. "If she were to regain her long lost memories however, she would." Spoke Master Eon before letting out a big sigh. This was going to take some explaining to do.

"You see...Kiyomi has actually been alive....for more than thousands of years." Master Eon starts off. "M-More than thousands of years?!!" Shrieks Spyro. "Spyro, shut up!" Stealth Elf tries to silence the purple dragon so everyone could listen to what Master Eon had to say.

"And I...I knew her. Both me and Kaos did. She was the most caring and selfless dragon we ever came to know. She lived behind a cave full of wonder and beautiful treasures. She lived there quietly, and alone. She once believed the citizens of Skylands to be selfish and cruel creatures. But one day, an individual came wobbling into her cave before blacking out. They were wounded and in need of help. Kiyomi decided to help the injured fellow, and in return, she was given much kindness and gratitude. She ends up befriending the individual and that same individual was the one who taught her that the people of Skylands were not how she perceived them to be-- that they were good at heart, just like her. She meets the folk of Skylands and immediately falls in love with them. She began to do many things for the citizens of Skylands. She helped them when injured or sick, and she offered everyone enormance wealth that made Skylands very prosperous at the time. The poor had a difficult time getting by, so she gave everyone who was in need of money, her precious treasures stored in her cave. She began to care more about the citizens of Skylands than her treasures deep within her cave. Kiyomi trusted us, and we trusted her. But one day...things changed for worst. Apparently the individual who was the first to ever befriend Kiyomi, the one Kiyomi treated when passed out in her cave long ago, sneaked into her cave to steal her most beloved treasure. Yes, she cared more for the citizens of Skylands at that time. But it was also because she trusted them. And there was only one treasure that none were allowed to touch in her cave. It was the golden crystal heart that rested in the deepest part of her cave. It was the most precious thing to Kiyomi that she owned. It was given to her from her family before they died. And her best friend stole it from her. She asked why and it was because they were taking advantage of her. It wasn't for any good cause, it was very for their own selfish desire. They used her to steal what was most important to her. While Kiyomi's friend ran from her he dropped it down a cliff, only for it to shatter into nothing. Enraged by this betrayal and for the loss of the one and only item her family ever left her, she began to use her ice powers to destroy Skylands. And I wouldn't let her have her way. So I sealed her away, frozen in time inside a ice crystal to rest for thousands of more years to come. Just recently she has awoken. I believe the ones to have freed her from her crystal was Kaos. Only me and Kaos knew how to release her from her slumber. And once Kaos turned on Skylands many, many, years later, I hid the ice crystal away where Kaos would never ever find it. Yet, he still succeeded in finding it. And then you found her, Spyro. And her memory was lost....partly, for that matter. But now that Kaos has captured her, I fear he is planning to reawaken her, to give her back her long forgotten memories of so she will attempt in destroying Skylands once again."

Finally, Master Eon finished explaining the story to the Skylands who now had their jaws dropped with enormous looking eyes. "Wow....so, Kiyomi is kinda like...older than my great, great, grandma?" Spyro asked slowly.

"Well....yes, but more than thousands of years older." Nods Master Eon. "Wow...." Awes Spyro in both shock and disbelief.

"Then we gotta find her before that happens!" Gill Grunt shouts to the group. But suddenly everyone in snapped out of their own thoughts when an enormance roar echoes throughout Skylands, causing the lands to rumble.

"It's too late..."
