Rebirth Synopsis and Background

Rebirth Background and Synopsis

Okay, first the basic storyline and Synopsis (kind of the sort of thing you may find on the back of DVDs)

Have you ever had something stolen from you? Have you ever thought you have everything, only to discover you have nothing? Have you ever been offered help that you knew you just didn't deserve? But most of all, have you ever been in love?
The answer is yes to all these questions for Raiko, a young, black male Dragon, incredibly strong in mind body and spirit. One day, Raiko finds not only badly injured, but also chained and suppressed by the Dragon elders, unfairly taken to be an enemy and a threat to the settlement's inhabitants. Although he is soon released, Raiko does not one bit wish to stay in the peaceful village, as he's been living in exile for years, due to a dark past that has left him with nothing. Twilight however, a young blue beauty with a heart of gold, quickly develops strong feelings for the troubled Raiko and feels can not only heal his broken body, but also his broken soul too. Will she succeed? Or will her hopes and dreams be crushed before she has the chance?


Okay, now that that is the way, I thought I would share with you when I got the inspiration for the story from. I have always loved Dragons, and seem to spend quite a lot of my time thinking about fantasy worlds. I am a massive film lover to, so I do understand how to structure a story, and how they work. The main inspiration for the story however came from what is largely considered to be an art form in itself. Music. Specifically, listening to "Forgiven" and "Monster" by Skillet. The name, Rebirth, I came up with myself, thinking about the main character Raiko, and what I planned to see him go through, although (rather irritatingly) halfway through writing this story, I then found out that Skillet also have a song called "Rebirthing" (how scary is that!)

The story itself, is set in the world of Spyro the Dragon, a few years after the game "Dawn of the Dragon" let's off. I.e., sometime in his late teens years, when he has reached sexual maturity, but is not quite fully grown, and has been with Cynder for a while. Although both Spyro, and Cynder play their part in this story, it is mainly a story of love and loss for our two main characters; Raiko and Twilight.

If you haven't already, please read it, as I would greatly appreciate any constructive criticism and feedback on any of the chapters.
