Flarena gasped as three slashes hit her snout, and she looked upward into the face of a pissed off Carrol. What had she done to get him so mad? She was talking with Spyro, Flame, and Blaze, and after they left Carrol came over, toke her to their room, and hit her! She didn't understand why. This was the first time he's hit her in about 2 month's.

"Stop flirting with other male's Flarena!" Carrol shouted at her.

She glared at him, she wasn't flirting with Spyro, Flame or Blaze. She was joking, talking and having a good time, but Carrol apparently thought different.

"Carrol, please stop this. I wasn't flirting with them. I was joking, talking and having a good time with them, and even Cynder and Ember were even there." Flarena said.

It was true, Cynder and Ember were by Spyro and Flame, talking to her. Carrol snorted, and snarled barring his teeth at Flarena, he was not happy!

"I wasn't talking about them. I meant Blaze!" Carrol said.

"What happened between you and Blaze?" Flarena asked, getting up and walking to him, still bleeding from her snout.

"You and him used to be best friends, and it shattered! What happened? Please, tell me." Flarena pleaded of him.

When he noticed the wounds he created, and heard her plea he sighed. His blue eyes showed sorrow as he realized what he did, before he nuzzled her cheek gently.

"Forget about mine and Blazes' problem real quick. I'm sorry for hitting you again." Carrol said licking her wounds to stop the bleeding.

Flarena smiled to him, and after he was done, she nuzzled him back, he was still his sweet and caring self when it came to her.

"It's okay. I forgive you. I probably worried you, that's all." Flarena said giving Carrol a small smile.

Carrol smiled back, and kissed her cheek. The two laid down, side by side to get some sleep since tomorrow was a Council meeting.

Next day-Council room: Flarena, Spyro, Cynder, and Carrol walked into the room. They had grown into fine, well teenager's, and even though Spyro and Cynder weren't part of Council, they were allowed at the Council meeting. The Council had talked to them about making a spot in Council, but Spyro with Cynder told them to forget it. Carrol was possibly to take Cyril's place, but the Council was growing suspicious of him. Flarena was getting wounds every two days during the night, and the only one in the room with her at night was Carrol.

"Alright, let us begin. As you know there have been reports of weak attacks on some villages. Correct?" Terrador asked and they all nodded.

"Okay, well the attacks have gotten stronger, to where some villages have been completely destroyed." Terrador said sadly, the others eyes widened in horror.

"WHAT?!" Flarena and Cynder said shocked, while the others went pale.

"Yes. The report's say that a black dragon has been attacking the village." Terrador said and Cynder was confused.

As far as she was concerned, she was the only black dragon/dragoness alive. Was there another like her out there? Was there another black dragon that she could relate to?

"The report's also say that he can transform into many different colored dragons, so we suspect the black dragon form, is his strongest form." Terrador said.

"Flarena...could it be?" Cynder said looking to her.

"I believe so. There's a feeling in my gut saying it was that dragon we saw when we were kids." Flarena said back.

"You've met him?" Terrador asked worried.

"Yes, but he saw us and ran away. I'm guess we scared him off." Flarena said.

"Alright. As far as the report's that's all we have. There's not much else. Tomorrow, we shall form a strategy to defeat this...creature." Terrador said and left.

"Let's go Cynder." Flarena said as her and Cynder left.

The two made plans yesterday to spend that day together. Spyro and Carrol watched them leave and sighed, guess they would spend the day with Flame and Ember.

With Cynder and Flarena: Flarena and Cynder went to get some dragon fruit, after eating about three each, they left for a meadow, but when they got there, and shadow ball hit Flarena in the back.

"What the hell?!" Flarena shouted as Cynder turned around.

"Flarena, are you okay?" She asked, looking at Flarenas' back.

"Yeah, but something got me in the back." Flarena said, only to show a burn mark from a shadow ball.

They looked around, and saw a shaded dragon sitting in a tree, he looked quite young.

"Who're you?! Were you the one who hit my friend?!" Cynder shouted.

'Wait, that feeling!' Flarena thought and pushed Cynder before a chain ball hit that spot.

"What?!" Cynder said as a green dragon came from the tree, and transformed into a black dragon.

"Ah, you two. So, we meet again." he said in the voice of a ten year old boy.

"What do you want? Who are you?" Flarena asked as her with Cynder, circled with the male dragon.

"HAH! Nothing, but you two seem quite powerful. You were able to sense when I was about to attack, and you were strong enough to stand my shadow breath, it's nice to see that." the dragon said.

"What do you want?!" Cynder commanded, her green eyes menacing.

"I want you two to join me." he said simply, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

"WHAT?!" Cynder and Flarena both said shocked.

"Don't say anything yet, just listen, and think about it. You two are powerful, and you Cynder, were once a follower of Malefor." he said.

Cynder growled at him, pain in her eyes at remembering her past. She didn't like how this dragon knew of her past, and it scared her.

"You, Flarena, are the only female Council, and the daughter of Ignitus. Knowing that, all dragons will not harm you, in fear of hurting Ignitus in heaven." he said, and she glared at him.

"How dare you bring those memories up! And how do you know our names?" Flarena said, snarling.

"Oh, there's no need for you to know that. But, how about it? Would you two like to join me?" he asked, his brown eyes shining in hope.

"HELL NO!" Cynder and Flarena chorused and blew fire and fear at him, knocking him back.

"You'll regret that decision." he said and blew fear at them.

"What?" Cynder said as she got hit by her own attack.

"Cynder! AH!" Flarena said, but got hit with a chain ball as he turned into a green dragon.

"I'm surprised you two survived one of my stronger attacks...rather interesting. As I wish to see what will happen next, I will stated this: I'm a shape-shifter, and can transform into anyone, and anything I wish. Come after me if you dare." the dragon said, and then he left.
