Prologue
In the horizon, the sun was emerging majestically. Its shining rays covered everything in a warm blanket of light. The sunlight passed through the thick trees and mushrooms, reflecting in the rivers where fishes splashed and the lakes making them shine.
Soon the life came to make presence, various animals from many sizes and species were appearing in the wild, while the wind blows in the fields filled of trees and flowers.
The pleasant and peaceful sight was worthy of admiration and rejoice, especially in the dragon city.
Warfang, the dragon city. A place of admiration and prestigue. The imponent city was welcomed by the sun which bather the entire place with light; even the darkest corners of the city are blissed by the light of the new day.
But not too much in a certain room...
In the Dragon Temple, the most important and longest building in Warfang, specifically in one of the bedrooms, a big window being uncovered by the decorative blue courtains let the sunrays come inside. And straight to the eyes of the creature that was sleeping there.
The creature, which is a dragon, let out a groan of tireness trying of move out of the light and come back to sleep. Thankfully, another presence in the room made the dragon feel comfortable and bringing it back to the sweet slumber for a little longer.
This dragon is Spyro. The savior of the world and a living legend.
Since he, along with Cynder, her love and partner during the war, defeated the Dark Master known as Malefor, the world returned to peace once again. It has been two months already, and the dragon population was beginning to recover from the remaining wounds of the war.
A time later Spyro began to stir and finally was full wake up. Standing up he was looking to his side and he saw the most precious dragoness to him, still sleeping calmly.
The dragoness is Cynder, former Terror of the Skies and Spyro's love. After the defeat of Malefor, she has been finally accepted in the dragon society and her past with the Dark Master as his general was forgave. While still are poeple who distrusts her yet, she knew they will open to her too. The guardians and Sparx did it, and that was enough for her.
Spyro reached her head and rubbed her softly enjoying the sound of her soft snores. Cynder smiled at the feeling of Spyro's paw, and then she opened the right eye to see him, smiling to her.
"Good morning, Cyn." Spyro said ceasing his rub.
"Good morning, Spy." Cynder responded getting up and stretching her body. Spyro admiring the sight of such beauty dragoness, just stayed staring at her. Cynder noticed this and when done with it, she went closer to Spyro who was still staring at her. "You were enjoying the sight again?" Cynder asked him with a teasing but playful smirk.
Spyro returned the gesture. "How do you want me to stop it when I'm looking to the most beautiful thing in my life?"
Cynder blushed at his answer "Spyro, you do this every day, and still you find the way to make me blush. Do you enjoy seeing my embarrassing suffering?"
Spyro answered getting closer to her and in a fast move locked his lips with hers, but Cynder was not surprised, instead she was happy. This was the same routine they had every day, but none of them complained about it because they loved it.
Once the kiss finished they heard a knock from the door "Spyro, Cynder. Are you already awake?" A voice which belonged to a female was heard. Spyro immediately recognized the voice "Yes. Come in."
The door was pushed and from it appeared a female faun. Her fur is from a brown-orange color that goes from her feet to her hair, her eyes are pure green as the forest, and she wears a dress made of leaves that goes from her breasts to her knees. She also was carrying a parchment in her right hand.
Spyro greeted her friend "Good morning Elora. How are you?" He said politely to her faun friend.
"Good morning Spyro and Cynder. Well, I'm fine. Actually, I'm so full or energy!" Elora answered with an excited smile.
Spyro laughed at her contagious optimism. "And why is that?" Cynder asked.
Elora recomposed herself "It's a normal thing when you wake up with the sun and preparing everything for the arrival." Elora explained.
"Is that today? I almost forget it" Spyro asked confused.
Cynder laughed at his statement. "I remember when the guardians told us about it two weeks ago."
Spyro repeated the same action of Cynder "I can't believe I almost forget it. I guess too much peace is making me lazy."
Elora laughed at that and put a hand in his shoulder "Don't worry Spyro. No one is perfect, not even the purple dragon." Elora gave him a playful stare.
Spyro thought for a moment and smiled to the faun. She was right. And he was glad to have someone like Elora as friend.
"Also..." Elora handed him the parchment "...I've been told by the guardians that I deliver this to you."
Spyro took the parchment in his left paw. It has a purple ribbon with the Warfang emblem on the center, two dragons' heads in opposites sides coming from the center.
Elora spoke "It is everything I had to do here. I must return to my place. I see you both later." With that Elora exited from the room.
Cynder was looking at the parchment with curiosity before looking at Spyro "Are you going to read it?"
"Not yet. I think after the breakfast I will read the content inside. I can't begin the day starving." Spyro left the paper in the table at the other side of the room.
(Line break)
Spyro and Cynder were passing through the hall from the second floor just after exiting from their room. The hall was decoured with a pattern of windows and curtains which had printed with refined fabric portraits of the guardians and their element's symbols, representing their characteristic breaths and imposing posture.
The first one was Ignitus, portrayed flying with a confident smile above a river looking to the horizon with the sun shining beneath him. The next one was Terrador, sit in a rocky field with mountains behind in the nighttime and with a determined face, smiling softly. Being followed by Volteer, who was in his four legs looking directly to the sky, a single lightning crossing from the clouds to the ground with a reasuring and optimist smile. The last one was Cyril, curiously he was the only one who was not smiling, stand in his four legs looking to the snowy landscape with snow falling in the sunset.
Spyro was content with how everything proggressed during the months that just passed so fast.
"I am still wondering why Cyril doesn't smile more often." Cynder commented after looking at his curtain.
"I think is his nature that makes him refuse to smile, unless his disputes with Volteer are less frequent." Spyro commented recalling how the ice and electric guardian reduced their aggresive talking issues.
Suddenly a loud voice echoed through the hallway.
"WHERE IS MY BOOK?!" The voice, which belongs to a female, made its way to Spyro's and Cynder's ears.
"Is that Bianca?" Cynder asked.
"Yes, and sounds really mad." Spyro assumed as the sound of various things falling in the ground was heard.
"Do you think she needs helps?" Cynder suggested after the sound ceased. "I think so, the breakfast can wait." With that Spyro and Cynder went to where Bianca is.
They passed through the stairs that connected the lower level with the first floor of the temple. And once they were down they headed to the room that was open and next the stairs.
From the room they could heard a growl that soon became a long sigh. There resting it's head in the only table was the rabbit sorceress, Bianca. And looks like she had a really bad morning.
First off, herself. Her fur was rowdy in many parts and still was wearing her "pajama" like she called it.
Second, the room. It was very messy with the many books, parchments and plumes esparced in the floor.
While Bianca was whining in her despair she noticed the dragons in the room and instantly recomposed herself and greeted them.
"Spyro! Cynder! Good morning!" She exclaimed with a sincere smile.
"Good morning Bianca. I assume you didn't find your book yet." Spyro said causing that Bianca lose the smile and put a lame face. Cynder smacked Spyro in the back of his head with her tail, winning a low "Ouch!" from the purple dragon.
"What was that for?" He asked rubbing his back. "We try to help but you just bring the problem again." Cynder replied smirking to him. Spyro realized it and let out an awkward laugh.
"Hey, maybe have you seen my book?" Bianca asked to the duo.
"Well, no. But we can help you to find it." Spyro said earning a cherish reply from Bianca.
"Thanks! Three are better than one!" And with that they all begin their little quest to find Bianca's book.
(Line break)
"This was the best idea you ever had Sparky!" A feminine and playful voice exclaimed.
"I know, baby. I always have great ideas!" Replied another playful voice, this time from a male one.
These voices belonged to an unusual pair, one was a male glowing golden dragonfly and the other was a female sparkling fairy. These are Sparx the dragonfly, and Zoe the fairy.
Right now they are in the library of the temple, on one of the many bookcases, holding what looks like a peculiar book. The book is of golden color with purple and blue details in the cover and back cover, and in the cover has the image of a weird symbol, like a hook but with many dots in the curves.
"Are you sure she won't find the book?" Zoe replied still holding the book. "Yes! Don't worry about that." Sparx replied so confident "She won't find this book among many books! Is the perfect prank!" Then they put the book in an empty slot to camouflage it.
"Phew! That book is really heavy! Glad that we made it until here." Sparx replied letting out a sigh of relief and then closed his eyes as he prepared to take a well deserved nap.
...
"Ehm... Sparx?"
"Yes, Zu?"
"Books can glow like us?"
"Maybe, but I don't think so."
"Then why this book is now glowing?"
At this Sparx open his eyes wide at the book that, like Zoe said, is glowing in yellow.
"What the-!? Why is this glowing!?" Sparx looked at Zoe panicked at this success that just happened in an instant. "Why do you ask me that!? I don't know either!" Zoe replied also panicked.
"There it is!" A third voice was heard in the library, and was one that Sparx knows so well.
"Oh no."
Suddenly in front of them a dragon appeared flying and staring directly at the glowing pack that was there.
"Sparx? Zoe? What are you doing here?" Spyro asked as he sees his brother and the little fairy at both sides of Bianca's book. "Wait a minute..." His eyes showed a signal of realization and looked menacingly to the already scaried glowing flyers.
"This is not what you think, brother..." The little dragonfly tried to explain while sweating by the nerves.
(Line break)
"I should have known that you were behind this." Bianca replied as she holds her book with both hands. When she realized that her little partner Zoe teamed up with Sparx to steal her book just for a prank, she made them pay creating a little box made of glass and trapping both them inside.
"This is unfair! It was just a joke! Nothing serious!" Sparx screamed through the glass, punching it to set free, and failing.
'We are talking about MY book. This book is very special, contains the most useful and important spells ever created since the beginning. If something happen to this book it will be my end!" Bianca replied making clear emphasis about what could happen to the book.
"Sparx, you can't take things that are not yours. The same with you Zoe." Cynder scolded them.
"All right, all right, we learnt our lesson. Can we go out now?" Zoe said already tired of being inside.
"Fine, I will let you go... after breakfast." Bianca said simply while lifting up the glass with her wand.
"What?!" Both Sparx and Zoe said unison. "Don't worry, you will have your breakfast. It's not like I will let you starve." Bianca said smiling.
"Sometimes you scare me Bianca" Zoe replied.
"And as always you manage to surprise me Bianca" Spyro replied. "So that spell you used before was to find your book?"
Bianca nodded in responde. "Yes. The spell I used is a basic one. It lets me to use a light track to find something in particular. The spell makes glow the wand and the object I have to find, and when I get closer, the wand will glow stronger." Bianca explained.
"That's amazing!" Spyro exclaimed amazed by Bianca's magic spells. "I think the same. That spell is really useful. I wonder why we don't used it before began seaeching." Cynder commented.
"Well, I didn't want to use it because I though it would be easier with you two at my side." Bianca replied smiling to them.
"Anyway, I'm starving and I need a good beeakfast." Bianca said as she took faster steps to the dining room.
Spyro and Cynder followed her from behind "Unless we can finally have our breakfast." Cynder said to Spyro. "A race to the dinning room?" Spyro said taking a racing position. "You know my answer." Cynder answered taking the same position.
"NOW!"
Both said in unison and went off at a high speed lefting Bianca and the rest behind.
"Hey! Wait!" Bianca shouted as she ran to reach them.
