After a long battle against the dark master, spyro and cynder have decided to sleep on the grass under a tree blooming with flowers that made everything seem peaceful. Spyro and cynder have been dreaming about the future. Neither realizing the strong feelings for each other, cynder said the words "I love you" as spyro was concealed in the light so he had no memory of it.

Spyro having a dream of having cynder as his one and only love, having saved the planet and the only one he loved. Spyro felt that he was in heaven. But cynder was having a more difficult time with her dreams

Cynder was having a dream with spyro as her mate along with a little unknown child dragon child. Puzzled, cynder did not know what it meant. Was it something that she did not know or what she didn't want to know? Cynder was frowning in her sleep, but started to turn into a nightmare. As she watched the picture of her and her two loved ones, the sky turned dark. Lightning spread across the sky like water on glass. Frightened, the child ran behind spyro which was in a defensive stance. But what worried cynder the most is that they were looking at her.

"What is happening, what's wrong?" Cynder asked with worry and anxiety

Then it became clear to her who spyro was defending their child from, herself.

Cynder tried to approach them but was soon stopped by an unknown force. Scared of what was happening, cynder tried to wake up but couldn't; like she was trapped in cage. Soon she saw herself as spyro saw her through his eyes. She was in her former evil self with mighty wings on a slender body. Black scales that had a diamond shape symbol on her head, a tail with a blade that easily cut flesh, six horns that were white as marble and sharp as needlepoints. When she spoke, it was not her voice of like a young dragoness, but her old demonic voice.

"You will not beat me again spyro" she said

"Why would you do this to us, to your only son, to me!" spyro yelled in depression.

"Why would I do this? Because it was always something that I failed many months before you decided to use your elemental fury on me and beat that weakling that you knew". She finished with an evil laugh

"But cynder, were mates! Can't you remember! You said that you will always be there with me!" spyro yelled even more depressed

"Yes I remember saying that I will always be around, but only in my castle which you and that thing will reside until I have no more use of you!" looking at them with red eyes darker than fire.

Running up to her the little dragon asked. "But mom why send me and daddy to somewhere where we cannot see you?" he asked in confusion and fear.

"Who said that you were going with him to the same place?" asking more calmly as to be the mother he wanted back, but knew it was not.

The young dragon started to back away from his mother and tried to run. But cynder snatched him up with her tail being careful with the blade to not harm the little one. Cynder did not know why she could not hurt him like the other dragon. It was as if it was her motherly side took ahold. Cynder then released the grip and placed the little one in front of her

"Little one you will not be joining your father to the same place in the castle, instead you will be by my side the whole time. But if you choose to be with him so be it". Holding him in place in front of her about a neck reach of cynder to grab him any moment of escape

The little dragon did not know what to say, having a choice of joining with his mother or father. The little dragon having tears coming from his eyes began to weep for his mother. Cynder did nothing to comfort him, but instead growled and pinned him to the ground. She may not be able to hurt him, but can hold him in place with a firm grip.

You will have only one choice to decide how you want to live! Suddenly everything went black.

Cynder woke up screaming "AAAAAHHHHHH!" Spyro jolted up from his dream when he heard someone scream. He got into a defensive stance and started to look around. But when nothing was seen, he heard soft whimpers and cries coming from behind him. Slowly turning around he saw the one that he loved crying on the ground curled into a ball that seemed to keep the outside world from getting to her. Spyro did not know what happened, he never saw a soft side of this dragoness, let alone see her cry. Spyro being the caring one walked up to her and lay beside her. The dragoness did not notice him so she continued to sob. Spyro decided to do something that he never felt like he could do, with all his strength and courage to help her overcome her time of need. He got closer so that their bodies touched each other's side; he got really red in the face as he never had touched her before. Her scales smooth and rough to the touch, glistening in the moonlight, he never saw her more beautiful than her under the stars night with a full moon shining on them. He was surer than ever that he loved her for her. But still he was nervous around her, never knowing that she as well harbored these feelings for him. He was now blushing so red that even he saw it on his snout. But he was determined to help her with the emotions that she was going through, even when he didn't realize they were for him. He then realized that she was trembling throughout her body, making her look fragile with every touch about to shatter. Shaking as he made every little move from being as nervous as what to do next, his instincts took over to help him. He placed his wing over her now trembling body like a protective blanket. It covered the majority of her body except for the head and tail. Spyro did not know what she will do. Cynder who now realized that spyro was right there with his wing over her and lying beside her made her feel safer but more nervous and scared. Nervous that it was the one she loved beside her and scared as to what the dream has shown her. All she could do was tremble under spyro's wing as she felt protected by him.

Why can I not tell spyro how he feels to me? Facing all of the world's dangers and fighting the greatest danger of all, wait…was Malefor the greatest threat to us or me? That dream was with me and spyro had a son so it was after his defeat. But I was evil. Could that mean I am the greatest danger to us? Cynder didn't want to think about it but could not relieve herself from the dream.

Maybe I should ask him, no! Not him! He is not even with me! If I tell him the dream he may get scared and try to avoid me! She screamed in her head.

Calming down she thought "I cannot lose him, I love him, and there will be nothing left for me". In a saddened expression that swept her face

Cynder decided to keep it to herself until she knew that he will never leave her. She will tell him about the dream, but was hard to keep it to herself.

Spyro who was watching her noticed that she started to calm down. But what happened next was not expected for her to do. She shifted her head and gazed into his velvet eyes with deep depression that he never witnessed. Lifting her head she nuzzled his chest and started to cry even more. Spyro who was even a brighter red got a little shaky, but didn't mind. He was helping a friend out through a tough time. He lowered his head and nuzzled the top of her neck in a way that was reassuring to cynder. Cynder felt her heart soar as he nuzzled her neck, she completely trusted him with her heart. She then placed her head down onto the ground beside spyro, who then placed his head over her neck as he was protecting his secret love from everything else. Silently they both fell to sleep once more.
