A/N: (Hopping around) We have a trailer, we have a trailer! EEK!!
"Ignitus, are you certain this is what you want? The Dark Armies are not far from this Temple, and we're not as young as we used to be." Calm, Ignitus nodded to his comrade, Terrador.
"Yes, Terrador. I am certain this is what I want." The old Fire Dragon stood up, legs creaking as he held his head up high.
"Years ago, I told Spyro that my time for heroics had passed. Perhaps I was wrong. If Hunter has found him, my remaining here may buy them some time. As a mentor, that is all I can offer him." Terrador frowned, eyes saddened as he walked past Ignitus to where Volteer and Cyril were waiting for him.
"Very well, Ignitus. May the Ancestors watch over you, and guide you home." Ignitus smiled a little bit, nodded as his friends left the Sky Temple.
"May the Ancestors watch over us all, my friends." And so they would. Ignitus turned, flames licking the back of his throat as the Dark Armies prepared to breatch the doors. They would be bathed in flame, sent running back to thier master. They would learn what it meant to fight a Master of Fire. They would learn what it meant to screw with a father who's son had been lost for three years. They would learn, and they would tell thier master. Even if he fell here, he would leave a mark for the Dark Master's armies to try and heal over. That was all his could do, considering how old he was.
"This way! Hurry it up!" That was Hunter. The Cheetah warrior had promised to find Spyro and bring him home. And since he was answered by another voice, it would seem that he'd found them.
"Hunter! Behind you!" The twang of an arrow, and the sound of fire. Hope flowed through Ignitus as he burned his own opponents into ash, the only other Dragon who could use fire was Spyro, and that was hope enough to keep fighting. The sounds of battles flowed through the air, along with cries of pain from the Dark Creatures. It was like fighting the tides of the Islands. For every three steps you'd take forward, you'd take two back. But Ignitus was determined to reach Hunter and see for himself. So he took five steps forward, and only one back. When a burst of Wind flew past his head as he shoved his way out into the hall, he turned to meet Cynder's bright green eyes. She was bigger, grown into a yearling instead of the hatchling he'd seen last. She nodded to him, smiling before she turned and bit one of the Dark Creatures on the arm, tossing it to her companion to finish off. Ignitus' flame colored eyes widened as he caught sight of the yearling fighting alongside Cynder. He was a bit larger than he remembered Spyro bieng, but it was him. Only one dragon had scales that color, and could control more than one Element in such a manner. Spyro was so busy with the Dark Creature that Cynder had sent at him, that he didn't see the last one sneaking up on him, blade gleaming as Ignitus sent fire it's way. It screamed, making Spyro whirl around to face his mentor. Violet eyes opened wide in alarm, before Spyro smiled a little hesitantly.
"We're back?" Smiling fondly, Ignitus nodded.
"Welcome home, Spyro." But the moment was broken as the Temple shook beneath thier paws. Hunter ran to an arch overlooking the outside world, bow in his paws. Spyro and Cynder walked to his side, Sparx buzzing near his brother's head as Ignitus stood behind Spyro. Outside, an Earth Golem stood waiting for them as it began to rain, sky cracking open with roaring thunder and lightning. Hunter sighed, shaking his head.
"It has begun, my freinds." Ignitus nodded, and Cynder and Hunter ran out first, dealing with the little ones as Spyro turned to his Mentor, still having to look up at him.
"Fight alongside me, Ignitus?" The Elder nodded, wings stretching as he took to the sky alongside Spyro. They would destroy this creature, then they would talk over what had happened in the past three years. But for now, knowing that Spyro was alive and well, fighting beside him, was all the hope Ignitus needed.
Sometimes, when all seems lost, a Light shines through the Darkness and reminds us, that courage and hope can turn the tide of war.
Heart's Note: Ignitus says that qoute in the trailer. I can't wait for this game!
