Hey guys this is my first fanfiction I have ever done on this website, so please be nice to me XD. (JK you can tear me apart if you do not like how I have started this story off since I will improve no other way.) I have been pondering on this story for a few weeks now (2 to be precise) but I did not have the courage to post my story in case it was actually rubbish, but well here it is I hope you enjoy how I have started it, I will try to upload frequently but understand this is my first fanfiction, so if I do not post after a few days it is probably because I am thinking of the next chapter, anyway enough of my rambling Enjoy! Oh, and I am open to suggestions on how to improve it.

Origins of the Dark Aether

Chapter 1 – The Final Battle

"You cannot Defeat me, I am eternal!" Roared Malefor as he shot a Bright Beam of Amethyst coloured convexity at the Two young dragons.

"That is where you are wrong Malefor!" Spyro retaliated before he proceeds to fire his own beam of similar coloured Convexity at Malefors beam colliding with it head on, Cynder seeing that one beam wouldn't be enough she shot her own beam at Spyro's making it double in size, their beam however still looked inferior to Malefors since they were only young, however the combined efforts of Cynder and Spyro impressively held their own against the Evil, Experienced, older dragon.

Cynder faltered, Spyro noticed this immediately and said encouragingly to her "Just … Hang … On!"

Upon hearing this Cynder replied struggling "I will not give up, after everything he has done to me! Everything he has done to you! I will not give him the pleasure he desires!"

With hearing Cynders voice, Spyro put even more power into his beam and so did Cynder both their wings burning to keep them from falling to their demise. Eventually Malefor (who had already been exhausted from the previous battles) faltered which gave Spyro and Cynders combined beams the advantage it needed to overpower Malefor. As the beam met with Malefors dull yellow chest scales, with a force equivalent to a ragining inferno, he let out a brief scream and fell, dark energy seeping out of his maw and nose.

Spyro saw this as he came to land, as he thought anymore flying, and his wings would fall off and thought to himself "What in the Ancestors was that." But he was quickly snapped from his thoughts as the sound of Cynder gracefully landing besides him brought him back to reality, As his amethyst eyes met with Cynders emerald eyes Spyro found himself lost in them, He blushed as did Cynder (although her blush was harder to see as her scales where black.) , as the world around them began to tear itself asunder.

The sound of the earth cracking all around them quickly brought them out of their trance. Upon snapping out of their trance both Spyro and Cynder looked around, Suddenly Cynder broke the silence and said "Spyro, I'm sorry I am so sorry."

Spyro looked at Cynders Face, her ebony scales shimmering in the light, Spyro felt blood rush to his face again, but snapped back to reality rather quickly and replied sadly "Don't be it's over now."

Cynder replies shocked "so this is it," The only sound that could be heard was the planets crust groaning as it tore apart piece by piece.

Ignitus who had previously died at the Belt of Fire said in the back of Spyro's mind sounding grim "Spyro when a dragon dies, he does not truly leave this world," Spyro closed his eyes listening to his mentor "His spirit lives on, binding itself with nature offering hope for the future." As his voice goes Spyro's eyes snap open, he turns to Cynder his companion and best friend and says

"I Know what I need to do. Just get out of here Cynder." He says this as in his mind he doesn't want Cynder to die because of him, yet a small part of him doesn't want her to go.

Cynder thought to herself for a minute on what it would be like without Spyro by her side and all she sees is sadness, even if he does stop the world from breaking apart it would not be the same, Her face warms up as she thinks of all the Caring things Spyro has done for her in her short life, if it was not for her ebony scales hiding her faint blush any dragon would have noticed it. She decides that the world is not worth living without him and she says "Spyro no, you do not have to do anything let's just go."

Spyro replies suddenly with a slight tinge of anger in his voice "Where Cynder? There'll be nothing left! The world is breaking apart." He continues after a brief pause sounding normal again "But I think I can stop it. I think I'm meant to."

Cynder looks at Spyro dumbfounded and thinks "even in the end Spyro still somehow finds an alternative, He's so caring" Her face heats up again, even with the ebony scales if any dragon looked closely enough, they would see the slight redness that has appeared in her face. Cynder continues and says without even thinking "Then I am with you."

Spyro can't help but blush, he hoped that Cynder didn't notice, unfortunately for him Cynder did notice but chose not to say anything. With that Spyro spreads his wings to their limit and begins to float up, feeling a strange feeling Spyro gives of a Purple aura which spreads to the edges of the planet, Cynder goes close to him and says quietly hoping to not break his concentration, "I love you."

Caught up in the moment, both young dragons, Spyro and Cynder fail to notice that another purple dragon whom they thought they had defeated became conscious, however with a distinct change, his previous feral yellow eyes had changed into, a softer, more caring look. Malefor looks at Spyro and says with a smile quiet enough so he doesn't disturb them "That's my boy." With that moment everything went white and the previous purple aura around the planet begins to come in closer pulling the floating bits of Earth back together, ultimately undoing the damage the dark master had previously brought upon the world with his destroyer, both gone forever.
