The Legend of Spyro Draft
Isaka and Syna, alongside fellow speedrunner itzscaree, decide to take a dive into The Legend of Spyro trilogy. They split the games like a draft pick — Isaka claims The Eternal Night, Scaree takes Dawn of the Dragon, and Syna takes on A New Beginning. The seed of every Spyro is planted.
