The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night2007

The Chronicler:
Spyro, you must understand, when she was taken by Gaul, she was poisoned and corrupted, made to do the Dark Master's bidding. Her entire life has been spent in shadow. She knows no other way. And when the Dark Master returns... she will concede. No one can resist the temptation... not even the strongest among us.

Spyro:
I don't believe that.

The Chronicler:
Spyro, let me tell you another story.

Sparx:
Oooh, oooh, oooh! Can I pick the story this time?

The Chronicler:
There was once a dragon, long ago, whose raw power was far greater than anyone had ever seen or... could imagine. At first, he mastered fire... which was odd because he was not a fire dragon. Then came ice and wind... and other abilities none not possible. Is this story sounding familiar?

Spyro:
It was a purple dragon... like me.

The Chronicler:
The first purple dragon... In the beginning, he was encouraged... and secrets of elemental mastery were passed onto him willingly by the elders. But his power... was limitless... it knew no boundary. He consumed... everything. When he would not stop, he was cast into exile. And from his new fortress within the mountain, he built an army... not of dragons, but of apes... and taught them to artificially harness the power of the gems... Our life force.

Spyro:
You're talking about the Dark Master...

The Chronicler:
Yes. And in his dark seclusion, the sheer weight of his malice cracked the very foundation of the mountain, splitting the earth, creating a pit of despair... Where the lost souls of this world could reside.

Spyro:
The Well of Souls!

The Chronicler:
...created by the very beast who now seeks to escape it.
