Introduction/Recap
[All credit for Spyro, Spyro characters, and Spyro logo go to the original creators at activision. This story was inspired by BladeTheProtecter, so there may be some similarities but don't burn me for that please this is my first fanfic. Plus I've got enough burns from Spyro sneezing fire for the past few days "AHCOOO!" YEEEWOOCH! SPYRO!.
Spyro is a purple dragon, a rare breed of dragon at that. Only purple dragons can wield all four elements (fire, ice, lightning, and earth) and are born once every ten generations. Before Spyro was born, the first purple dragon by the name of Malefor was taught how to wield all four elements but, instead of using his powers to protect the dragon realms he tried to conquer them. Though he was stopped he tried to conquer the realms again but with an army of apes, he taught the apes how to artificially harness the power of the crystals which gives the dragons the ability to heal and restore their mana (mana is a type of energy the dragons use to their elemental powers unique to each type of dragon save the purple dragon).
Upon Malefor's death (or something) his spirit was sealed in the "Portal of Convexity", many years have passed since he was last seen. Yet one night Gaul the leader of the apes (Malefor's general I guess) lead an attack on a dragon grotto were dragon eggs were kept for safekeeping until they hatch. Among those eggs were Spyro and Cynder's eggs, when Gaul and the apes attacked the grotto the four Guardians and masters of the four elements, (Ignitus the guardian of fire, Cyril the guardian of ice, Volteer the guardian of electricity, and Terrador the guardian of Earth) fought to protect the eggs. Ignitus managed to save Spyro's egg but, was unable to save Cynder's egg or any of the other eggs for the apes took Cynder's egg for their vile plans, all of the other eggs were smashed.
Gaul had Cynder so that she would serve and free Malefor from his prison. After many years have passed living with dragonflies, Spyro had learned of his true heritage as the purple dragon from Ignitus after Spyro had breathed fire in order to save Sparx (Spyro's foster brother) from the apes they encountered while playing. Ignitus asked Spyro to save the other guardians from their captors. As Spyro saved each of the guardians Spyro learned another element to master. Then Spyro had to save Ignitus when he was captured trying to help Spyro, then Spyro chased Cynder into the realm of convexity. After Spyro and Cynder fought each other Spyro was able to free Cynder from whatever was controlling her.
Sometime later Cynder decided that she couldn't stay with Spyro and the guardians and tried to leave, however, the Night of Eternal Darkness was approaching very fast (just so you know it's basically a lunar eclipse were the two moons in Spyro's world overlap, the smaller in front of the larger). Spyro went after her while he tried to find the dragon known as the Chronicler, an ancient dragon who records the history of all dragons in the realms. All the while Gaul and the apes gathered at the mountain of Malefor (Malefor's lair), the mountain is also a prison for evil souls. During the Night of Eternal Darkness the inhabitants of the mountain are able to wander within the caverns and halls of the mountain for brief time. Spyro was able to find the Chronicler and speak to him, the Chronicler wanted to keep Spyro with him so as to whether out the coming storm. Spyro refused to remain with the Chronicler when Cynder was still in danger and left for the mountain of Malefor. When Spyro reached the top of the mountain he battled Gaul as the eclipse was coming to its completion. During their fight the floor collapsed beneath them and both Spyro and Gaul fell into the room below, then the eclipse was completed and a beam of light hit Spyro as he laid on the ground. Spyro then rose into the air as dark powers began to emerge within Spyro, with these dark powers Spyro obliterated Gaul into dust. When Spyro came to, he enveloped himself, Cynder, and Sparx in a barrier of sorts that hardened into an orange crystal that protected them from the cave-in and from time as well.
Three whole years later they were released from their crystal slumber only to wake into a full scale war between the inhabitants of Warfang, a dragon city created by moles, the dragons against Malefor and his vast army of monsters called Grublins. Cynder (with no choice at all) fought alongside Spyro to stop save the world from Malefor and the ancient creature the Malefor awoken known as the Destroyer. The Destroyer is a tool that creates a new world by destroying the old one (basically the Destroyer well destroys the planet then the planet recreates itself or something). Spyro and Cynder raced against time to stop Malefor and the Destroyer from ending life as they knew it, they were unable to stop the Destroyer, but, they managed to defeat Malefor in a magma chamber of sorts where a massive purple crystal absorbed Malefor never to be seen again. As the world began to break apart Spyro used his powers to keep the world from completely breaking apart and saved everyone, as he did this Cynder told Spyro how she felt for him. Ignitus, who Spyro thought had died trying to get them through the ring of fire in order to reach where Malefor was at, became the new Chronicler for this new age because the previous Chronicler's time came to an end as the age they were in came to an end. That is the story of Spyro though he, Cynder, and their friends had saved the world from utter destruction the world was reshaped none the less. Islands (or pieces of the land that broke off during the world's near death) took to the sky's and remained there while ancient ruins long since buried beneath the earth were brought back to the surface for all to see. From these ancient ruins an ancient evil shall arise from myths long forgotten to the river of time. Can Spyro and Cynder face this ancient yet new threat alone, or will Ignitus have to call for help? But, what if the one to answer that call for help was a human or humans…?
