We were instantly teleported into the throne room where I saw Hollowjack and Gigant talking to each other. They saw Spyro and I and quickly rushed towards us. Hollowjack said "Lord Spyro you're back! But where's Spinebreaker?" Gigant asked "Yeah and who is this bloke?" Spyro chuckled and said "Too answer both of your questions, this creature here is Spinebreaker the spinebreaker, your friend and an elite warrior." Both Hollowjack and Gigant stared at me. "Uhh hey guys, no need to stare, I'm not a goddess of beauty or anything." I said. This statement got both of them out of shock. Hollowjack grinned and said "Spinebreaker, are you okay, tell us what happened, man it's good to see you and I see your sail's back!" I said "I was gone for like 10 minutes." "Actually" interrupted Spyro "The process took 4 hours to complete". I went silent. 4 freaking hours, how in the world, it felt like 4 minutes to me! I guess the saying IS true, that time flies when you're being tortured.

Gigant said "No worries man, damn, you look TEKked out, and look at those cannons, nice!" I replied "Thanks man, I know these cannons are really cool and are really powerfully...". Me, Hollowjack and Gigant started talking and Spyro went to another room.

When I finished telling them what happened Hollowjack said "So, Skullcrusher has returned, I never thought I would see the day that he would come back. We must prepare". Gigant said "You are right, and Spinebreaker, from what you're saying, those cannons are really good for damaging the front flank of an army, if only they had a less reload time."

Suddenly we heard something walk behind us, well when I said walk, I meant that it was like a creature of 100 legs was walking towards us in a really nimble way. Me, Gigant and Hollowjack turned around and I saw the biggest spider ever. It was a greenish purplish spider with six legs with 3 on one side, she had 12 eyes and a huge abdomen with a massive stinger as well as several spikes. She also had several spots on her back, she was as big as Bokito, but like him  smaller than Spyro in size. She was still bigger than the 3 of us, even with me standing on 2 legs. Her mouth was as big as my body. She had 2 massive pincers with four more hiding underneath. She could have swallowed me whole if she wanted to.

With a shock I realised I was looking at Arachnid the broodmother, the sister of Spyro and Bokito and the second oldest amongst the 5 siblings. Just like Bokito was in charge of defence and the army, she was incharge of the trade between our empire and other empires and of external affairs.

[Arachnid the broodmother]

We quickly bowed and I said "Lady Arachnid". She replied and said "Rise Hollowjack, and you two, may I know your names?" Gigant said "My name is Gigant my lady, I am one of the many spies and fighters of King Spyro". I said "My name is Spinebreaker the spinebreaker my Lady, I have recently become a Hybrid and am an elite soldier in King Spyro's massive army". Arachnid looked at me and said "it's been half a century since I last saw your kind. Welcome back, and welcome to you as well Gigant". We both thanked her and she went into the room where Spyro was. Suddenly Spyro came out of the room towards us and said "Hollowjack, Gigant amd Spinebreaker, the council of ARK is to have a meeting, I am in need of your presence as all 3 of you have precious information. Come with me, we already have seats for the mini bosses and you two, (Me and Gigant) have a seat next to me." We said nothing and followed him into the room.

Now for those of you who do not know, the Council of ARK is a meeting between the bosses of ARK and the leaders of the different provinces. If any mini boss was in the area than he/she could also attend. Me and Gigant were extremely lucky to be able to participate in this meeting as no regular Dino was allowed to, the last time a regular Dino had participated in the meeting was in the war against the Xenoian empire 357 years ago.

We entered the room amd saw a lot of chairs arranged in a circle, on 4 of them were hologram projectors, for the 4 titans of Extinction (they were too large to fit here). Spyro and his siblings chairs were the largest [By the way, chairs in this world are just metal slabs raised above the ground with soft covering on them] and the smallest were of those of the mini bosses. In the center was a massive hologram projector, Spyro and Bokito AND Arachnid could easily stand on it with room to spare.

We took our chair besides Spyro and Arachnid who smiled warmly at us, they must have seated us next to them so nobody would notice us, as we were not allowed here. Hollowjack was on the other side, he looked st us and mouthed the words 'Good luck' I mouthed back the same words, Gigant said to me "This feels soo cool". I replied by saying "I know right" before we were a hushed by Arachnid, the bosses and leaders were about to enter.

First came Lord Bokito who sat on Spyro's left (we were on his right).

Than came in a Dodwyvern that was also the same size as Bokito and Arachnid but smaller than Spyro. He had a set of wings and a beak instead of a regular Wyvern mouth, he had another set of dodo wings which were just like Hollowjacks's but were mostly useless. He was covered in feathers on the top and had a regular wyvern body from the body, it was Lord Kai, the youngest of the 5 brothers and master of the provincial matters and province income. He was born after the first Civil war but was a mighty warrior from his experience from the war with the Empire of Xenon. It was said that he spent most of his time with the wyverns in scorched earth and had learnt the poison, fire and lightening breath, he hadn't learned the ice one as ice wyverns didn't live there.

[Lord Kai the dodowyvern]

Spyro, Arachnid and Bokito greeted him and he sat next to Arachnid on Spyro's right side.

Than came a Manticore, also as big as the 4 siblings but smaller than Spyro, his head was of a lion, his wings of a dragon, his body of a Griffin, his tail of a scorpion and his legs of a bull. He also had goat horns on his head. This was Lord Mufasa, the fourth of the five siblings. He sat next to Bokito on Spyro's left and was greeted by the siblings. It was known that he was the master of ARKs Top prisons (except for tartarus and the lost isles).

[Lord Mufasa the manticore]

Me and Gigant were silent as we were shocked to be in the presence of such powerfull beings.

Next came a fire wyvern which was a charcoal colour, he sat next to Lord Kai and greeted him. It was Flame, the leader of scorched earth, he was known to be Lord Kai's best friend. [Important point:  only bosses are called lord and Glame and a few others are only provincial leaders]. Flame was about my size, just a little longer

[Flame]

Next came in a reaper king, a weird black and white reaper king, unlike its brethren who were black amd red, this must be Venator who was the leader of the largest province of ARK, Abberation. Venator was about my size but a little bit bigger than me when I was standing on four legs but the same size as me when I'm on 2 legs. He went and sat next to Lord Mufasa and started to talk to him in whispers, but they soon became quiet.

[Venator]

Next came a carcharadontosaurus. He was as big as Gigant, meaning 2 times bigger than me when I was on 2 legs, he went and sat next to Flame, this was Carcha, the leader of the Lost isles, it was said that he had to kill skull crawlers and other demons on a daily basis down there. His back was black in colour with a white belly with black stripes.

[Carcha]

Next came in a golem thrice as big as me, but this was not a regular golem, no this was Magma, the leader of Ragnarok which was ARK's third biggest province, he was a lava golem made out of obsidian and lava. He was black in colour with reddish orange lava veins showing. He sat down next to Venator. It was said he had to battle 5 Apex griffins to become the leader of Ragnarok, and believe me, an Apex Griffin is extremely dangerous.

[Magma]

Than came in an Apex deinonychus, a regular deinon was as big as me on four legs but this Apex one was the same size as Venator. She was red and grayish in colour and covered with feathers. She went and sat down next to Carcha. This was Prowl, the leader of Valguero, one of ARKs most rich provinces due to the amount of natural resources it had. Prowl was extremely clever and had once  tricked a Xenomorph to kill 29 of its own men during the second war with the Xenoian empire 22 years ago.

[Prowl]

I expected the crystal wyvern queen of the Crystal Isles and Fenrir of Fjordur to come but they weren't here resulting  in 2 chairs empty. The hologram projectors of the titans suddenly turned on and the image of the four titan heads could be seen looking at us. There was the ice titan, the forest titan, the desert titan and Aphophis the king Titan. These four had defended ARK with their life and were accepted as leaders of the Arkian province of Extinction after defeating the powerful entity known as the collosus. These four were extremely large, I was maybe as big as the feet of the forest and ice titan, but as big as a toenail for Aphophs and since the desert titan was a flying entity, I can't compare myself. These four were also the only creatures except for the 5 leading siblings to be 'Good' bosses.

Everyone was talking to each other and greeting each other. In the mini boss area I saw Hollowjack chatting with the 2 other mini bosses that had come, one was an Apex rex as big as Gigant and another was an Alpha allosaurus who was as big as me when I was on 2 legs. Those 2 along with Hollowjack were the only mini bosses here.

Gigant looked towards me and said "This is too much to take in, and they haven't even noticed us!" Indeed all the bosses and leaders didn't even notice us. Except for the mini bosses as it seemed like Hollowjack had told them. I replied "I know right, this is so awesome, all these mighty beings and this great council."

Spyro amd Arachnid were talking to each other, Spyro said "We should tell them about Skullcrusher" with Arachnid replying "There will be too much chaos". And with Spyro again saying "They have a right to know!" Arachnid looked like she would argue but she sighed and became quiet.

Suddenly Spyro roared loudly and everyone became quiet, and just like that, the meeting began.

///Editors notes: The meeting is about to start! I hope you guys are prepared. Also some provinces like Valguero and Ragnarok I didn't talk about, that is because they are not important in this story and when the time comes I will explain them, its 3 in the morning here so goodnight my fellow readers!!!///
