Hey this is my first story and through a couple chapters if you reconize something, it is not my chapters to chapter 4. I DO NOT TAKE CREDIT TO THE FIRST 4. ENJOY!

=Darkness is what only Spyro sees in his eyes. The blast from his Dragon Fury to stop the planet from breaking apart has blinded him and he was blacked out. The last thing he saw was the walls of the core of the planet breaking apart and he and Cynder were on the planet's core, a large crystal. Spyro told her to leave to save herself, but Cynder refused and wants to stay with him. Spyro was glad that she stayed for him, in case the Fury kills him and her in the process. And it seems that the Fury actually did kill them. Now it seems he's in complete darkness and he seems to be alone. "I don't believe it. The Fury actually killed me and Cynder. But it won't matter anyway. The whole world was saved because of me. I have fufilled my destiny" Spyro thought to himself in darkness. Then, out of complete darkness, there was a slight echo sound. But it was hard to make out. But the sound grew louder and the echo reverberates in darkness. Spyro listens to the sound in darkness until he can finally make it out what it's saying. "Spyro...Spyro...Spyro..." said an echoing voice. It sounds kind of faint to Spyro's ears, but he can hear clear as day. The voice is like calling to him. Spyro begins to listen to it more until Spyro noticed something familiar. The voice and its tone seems familiar and recognizable to his ears. Spyro knows that kind of voice anywhere. But could it be who he thinks it is? If it is, how's that possible to communicate with him in the afterlife? "Spyro...Spyro..." said the voice.

"Is that you? Ignitus?" asked Spyro.

"Spyro...Wake up...Wake up..." said the voice.

"Ignitus?" asked Spyro.

"Spyro...Wake up...It is time..." said the voice. Then suddenly, Spyro sees a bright light appearing in front of him. It got brighter and brighter until Spyro sees only white in his eyes and around him.

Spyro slowly and weakly opened his eyes and saw a blurry image in his eyes. Then Spyro got confused about something. Was he actually dreaming? Spyro thought he was dead. By the time Spyro raised his head, he felt a sharp pain in his head and placed his paw on it. Spyro has never felt this kind of headache before. It felt like someone is pounding a warhammer on his skull. "Damn...My head..." said Spyro. Spyro tries to stand up, but due to his loss of strength after using the Dragon Fury, he collaspes to the ground. Then the blurry look in his eyes began to sharpen and Spyro can now see clearly. He takes a long look around and sees that this area is beautiful from the looks of it. The rivers were flowing with cold water as its surface was sparkling like diamonds from the surface. Butterflies were fluttering around together across patches of beautifully colored flowers. The green leaves of the trees were blowing against the gusts of wind along with the grass. And the sunlight shones all over the field and him. Spyro then tries to get up again, but it seems he doesn't have the strength to even move at all. Then he noticed something in the distance. A large crystal was standing next to a river and it was shining with the color of green. Spyro already knows what it is. Trying to get it, he weakly crawls over to the green crystal. He could have walked there, but he was too weak to do so. But Spyro refused to give up and tried harder. When he finally reached the foot of the crystal, he places his paw on it and the green crystal was sparked with energy. Spyro felt the rush of the crystal's energy coarsing through his veins and felt it filling his entire body. Then Spyro felt the strength returning to his body. The green crystal then turns dark, drained of its energy. Spyro was then able to stand up. And when he did, Spyro notices something. This place seems awfully familiar to him. As if he's been here before. Then something popped into his mind. A sign of realization dawns on his face. It's the Valley of Avalar! He's back at the surface! But Spyro became confused again. "What a minute. If I'm at the core of the planet, then how did I get back on the surface?" Spyro thought to himself. Then Spyro remembers something else. A very odd remembrance. And it has something to do with Cynder. "Wait a moment. Did Cynder say something back at the core?" Spyro thought to himself.

*****Flashback*****

The interior walls around the core of the planet continued to shatter apart and were split apart from each other. Spyro and Cynder then landed on the core's giant crystal and felt the crystal's surface shake with earthshattering power. Spyro sees Cynder appoaching him with a sad look on her face. Cynder thought it was her fault that this is happening. "Spyro, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry" said Cynder.

"Don't be. It's over now" said Spyro. Then the walls began to crack and shatter much more than ever. "So this is it?" asked Cynder watching the world crack. The sound they make were loud and deafening as Cynder and Spyro watched the world being destroyed around them. Spyro then closes his eyes. He needs to do something and he needs help. Then, in the midst of destruction, Spyro could have sworn there was Ignitus behind him, saying something to him. "Spyro, when a dragon dies, he does not truly leave this world. His spirit lives on, binding itself with nature, offering hope for the future" said Ignitus. Spyro's eyes were shot opened with realization. Then he turns to Cynder. "I know what I need to do. Just get out of here, Cynder" said Spyro.

"No, Spyro. You don't need to do anything. Let's just go" said Cynder.

"Where, Cynder? There'll be nothing left! The world is breaking apart! But I think I can stop this. I think I'm meant to" said Spyro. Both were quiet for a moment. Then Cynder spoke with a soft smile on her face. "Then I'm with you" said Cynder. Spyro just looks at her, wondering why she wants to, but then he began to levitate up in the air. Then he was encloaked in a bright purple light. Cynder can only watched him prepare to do something outstanding. As he grew brighter and Cynder thought they can die, she took a step forward to whisper one thing she wanted to say all along since Spyro saved her from her darkness. "I love you" whispered Cynder. Then Spyro unleashed his power and a bright white blast engulfed the core and spreads throughout the planet.

*****Flashback Ends*****

"She said that she loved me" said Spyro. Right now, Spyro could not believe that Cynder actually said that. And she actually meant that. But to Cynder's unknowing, Spyro was also in love with her too. After he freed her from Malefor's dark control, he couldn't help but felt a strange feeling around her. The way she looked at him and the way she smiled, it was beautiful. When he thought he could lose her when Gaul captured at the Mountain of Malefor, he has to go and rescue her because he fears for her life. Then Spyro began to feel that Cynder might have the same feelings for him. There was the way she nuzzled him when he lost Ignitus, and it was lovingly. And Spyro has wondered if she has fallen in love with him. And now Spyro has known the truth. Then a thought popped into his head. "Wait. If I'm here, then where's..." Spyro thought to himself. Then Spyro remembered someone that he has not seen yet. And he has forgotten about her. "Cynder!" said Spyro. Spyro then starts to look around for her. "Cynder! Cynder!" said Spyro calling out to her. He starts to panic when he couldn't find her, until he sees a body lying not far than fifteen feet away from him. And it was a body of a black dragoness. Spyro quickly ran over to her body. When he got close to her, Cynder looks lifeless like she wasn't breathing. "Cynder?" said Spyro shaking her, trying to wake her. But she hadn't moved at all. Then Spyro got worried. "Cynder, wake up!" said Spyro. Spyro shook her more but Cynder wouldn't budge. She was as still as a stone. "Cynder! Please!" begged Spyro and shook her much more, but Cynder never moved at all. Then tears began to shed and fall from Spyro's eyes. "Cynder, please" said Spyro quietly with voice breaking into tears. Then he rested his head on her and started crying. Spyro then knew she was dead. Killed by his own fury. He wanted her to leave to save herself, but wanted to stay with him. And now she's dead because of him. "Cynder" sobbed Spyro quietly and cried on her. A great and deep sadness for the purple dragon. And he lost the one he loved. But worst of all, he never told that he loved her. All was in silence as Spyro cried over the loss of Cynder. But then. "Mmmm?...Spyro?" muttered Cynder weakly as she starts to stir. Spyro's head immediately rose up when he heard her voice and tears have disappeared. Spyro suddenly turned happy. "Cynder! You're alright!" said Spyro and nuzzled her. Cynder smiled, although she was weak. "Can you get up?" asked Spyro.

"I...don't know..." said Cynder and tried to get up. But like Spyro, she was too weak to even stand up. Cynder collasped to the ground. "Hold on. I get you some green crystals" said Spyro. He doesn't want to leave her in that weak state, but he has to find some crystals. "I'll be right back! I promise!" said Spyro and began to flap his wings and flew up in the air. Keeping himself afloat in the air with his wings, he takes a good look around the area. And he definetly recognizes this place as the Valley of Avalar. Then he sees something gleaming on the mountainside. But it was so far away from his eyes. But he flew over to get a better look. When he got close, it was revealed to be another green crystal growing on the face of the mountain. With no ledge for him to land on, he just flew over and used Earth Blast to blast the crystal. It exploded like there was a bomb right next to it and the crystal pieces were in the air. Spyro flew after a piece falling to the earth and grabbed it with his mouth and flew back to Cynder. But Spyro was worried again. What if something happened to her while he was gone? When he returned to where he left her, he was relieved. Cynder is still alright. He flew down and dropped the green crystal next to her. Cynder slowly and weakly grabbed the crystal with her paw and felt the surge of energy going into her body. Cynder moans slightly due to the energy flowing through her. When the crystal was drained, she started to stand up. Spyro finished it by helping her up. "Where are we?" asked Cynder.

"We're back in Avalar" said Spyro.

"We are?" asked Cynder looking around.

"Yeah" said Spyro. Both were quiet for a several seconds until Cynder spoke with an amazed look. She turned to Spyro and said "I can't believe it! You done it! You saved the world!" said Cynder.

"Yeah, I did!" said Spyro feeling happy. But there was something that he wanted to say to her. Something that was in his heart since he first saw her. "Listen...um, Cynder?" said Spyro.

"Yes?" said Cynder while moving away with her back turned to him.

"There's something...um..well...I wanted to say to you" said Spyro. But he was nervous. This was the first time he ever told a girl how he felt about her. If you ever had a crush on a girl and you were too nervous to tell her with your face blushing, that is how Spyro is feeling right now. "Well, what is it?" asked Cynder still without looking at him.

"I...um...well—I..." said Spyro nervously.

"If you wanted to thank me for standing by with you through this whole adventure, I understand" said Cynder.

"I love you!" said Spyro. Cynder suddenly went dead quiet when she heard him. She was very silent. Spyro realizes that she took the comment very well from the looks of it. Then she slowly turned to him with the look combined of surprise and disbelief. She just stared at him until she finally spoke. "What?" said Cynder quietly. Then Spyro smiled. "I love you, Cynder" said Spyro. Then Cynder began to smile and she can hardly breathe. She was very surprised about this. "Spyro? Did you mean it?" asked Cynder as she walks towards him.

"Every word of it" said Spyro.

"Spyro, I..." said Cynder.

"I always wanted to tell you this when I first fell in love with you. When you were captured by Gual, I was so scared I thought I could lose you. When you comforted me when I lost Ignitus, you nuzzled me. And when I unleashed the Fury, Cynder...you said that you loved me" said Spyro.

"You DID hear me!" said Cynder.

"I love you. With all my heart" said Spyro.

"I...I love you too, Spyro!" said Cynder.

"And that's why I-" said Spyro but was suddenly interrupted when Cynder kissed him on the lips. Spyro was startled by her boldness for a moment, but then returns the favor by kissing her back. As they kissed, they wrapped their tails around each other's tail. And the feeling of love caused their wings to open up slowly, but they drew back in. When they were done, they rested their heads on each other in love and peace. Then they opened their eyes and they looked at each other. "We should get back to the others. Sparx is probably worried about me" said Spyro.

"They can wait. Let's just...spend some time together. You and me" said Cynder.

"I don't know..." said Spyro.

"Please?" asked Cynder fluttering her eyes at him. Spyro couldn't resist her look and beauty. "Well, I suppose we could. After all, I do need a rest" said Spyro.

"Not anytime soon" said Cynder with a sly look and grin. Then she hits him on the shoulders playfully. "Tag! You're it!" said Cynder and flew up in the air. Spyro then laughed. "Oh, no! You're getting away from me! Come here!" laughed Spyro and flew off after her. Both continued to laugh as they chased after each other in the air in the Valley of Avalar. Both now in peace. And are finally now lovers to each other. The love between the purple dragon and the black dragoness.
