Ok, here it starts, the sequel to 'Blossoming Love'! Trust me, I never intentionally keep you guys hanging for long! By the way, just so my intentions are clear, this story, as well as 'Blossoming Love' are AU. I am not attempting to tie The Legend of Spyro into the games before it as so many have. It's just not possible, so I won't try. Anyway, with that off my chest, enjoy the story.

Prologue

Spyro and Cynder's quints had been born 8 years ago, and they all lived happily. One day, during their daily practice with the guardians, a very old dragon entered the dojo unexpectedly. He approached Ignitus, and said,

"How are the young progressing, Ignitus?" Recognising the voice as that of an old friend, Ignitus turned to the dragon and said,

"Ah, Chronicler, it's good to see you. The children are growing up very well. Hard to believe they hatched a mere 8 years ago."

"Is that so. Ok then, youngsters. Think you can live up to the old man's words? If so, then show me what you can do. I'll be the judge." Said the Chronicler.

"Wait, you're telling us to attack you?" Asked Blaze.

"Yes, young lady. Attack me...all at once." Said the Chronicler.

"What?!" Asked all five dragon children simultaneously.

"You heard me! Attack!" Yelled the Chronicler.

"...Do as he says." Said Cynder.

"But-" Started Shadow.

"Just do it! Don't hold back either!" Yelled Cynder. After a prolonged hesitation from all five of them, the Chronicler closed his eyes, and a time barrier surrounded everyone there except himself and the five young dragons. He then opened his eyes, and said,

"Now, young ones. Maybe you won't be so hesitant if you see me as an enemy!"

"What do you mean?" Asked Frost.

"Even as we speak, my Dragon Time is slowing their vitals to a stop. The only way to stop it is to incapacitate me. Now, show me what you can do!" Said the Chronicler.

"He's gone mental!" Said Storm. After a show pause, Terra said,

"Let's do it everyone."

"But he's Ignitus' friend! We can't!" Said Blaze.

"We can, and we must! Now come on, everyone! Let's show him what we can really do!" Yelled Terra. After another short pause, the other four nodded in agreement, and they prepared their attacks. They fired, but the Chronicler easily stopped them. Shadow growled, and then the Chronicler yelled,

"That's not good enough! You're holding back too much! Don't you care about your mentors?!"

"We're trying!" Yelled Frost. Terra closed her eyes to think, and in a matter of seconds, she opened them again, looked to her siblings, and said,

"Everyone, let's merge our energy flows. That's the easiest way to synchronize our timing, which will make our attacks much stronger if done just right. Now, on my mark, let your energy flow into one another! Do it...now!" At Terra's command, the five young dragons combined their energy flows, and it was like they could see into one another's mind. After a few seconds of concentration, they all began preparing their attacks once again, and unleashed their attacks upon the Chronicler once again. The five bursts of energy braided together to form one huge elemental burst, which hit the Chronicler with a megaton impact force. He chuckled slightly before falling over in a stat of unconsciousness. The Dragon Time wore off, and the five guardians ran to their student's, while Spyro was left wondering what had happened. Before long, the Chronicler was back on his feet, and he walked over to Terrador and Terra. He said to Terrador,

"You've trained this one well. She has the qualities of a true savior...if only it were that easy. Now then, young lady." He turned to Terra and said,

"You showed me the courage and mind of a true hero. You were able to remain calm in a desperate and demanding situation, and you were able to think your way through it. You will go far with those qualities." He then turned to the rest of them and said,

"As for the rest of you. You youngsters still have a lot to learn about teamwork, and your teachers have a lot to teach you yet. A team should not be held together by one member of that one team. Do any of you youngsters know why. Stick your tail in the air if you know." Terra looked to her siblings, and with a disappointed look raised her tail into the air.

"Alright, let's hear it." Said the Chronicler. Terra sighed, and said,

"A team must have the full and equal support of all of it's members. A team without that quality is doomed to fall apart when those who hold it together are unable to do so. Having a team leader is acceptable, as long as that individual is not the single support of the group."

"That is correct. I hope you all will learn from this lesson, for peace can never last forever. You must always be ready for whatever lies ahead, whatever it may be. Now, I must be off. There are things I must tend to." With that said, the Chronicler was off, taking to the skies and soaring into the distance.

"Strange. Something seemed...different about him."
