Chapter 1: The Sorting

Spyro opened his eyes. The sunlight came through the window as he heard dragons outside of his door walking and chattering about random things. Cynder was sitting in the floor, talking to Sparx the Dragonfly. A year had passed by since they had defeated Malefor. They lived in the Dragon Castle, along with all of the other important dragons. Spyro shares a room with Sparx and Cynder. Sparx had got a job for delivering mail. Spyro had learned that Ignitus had become the Chronicler. Spyro would also be the father to three baby dragons soon. Everything was at peace.

Spyro got up and yawned as he stretched.

"Finally! He's up!" Said Sparx.

Spyro looked around. Sparx and Cynder were staring at him.

"They bring breakfast to us, yet?" He said, looking around.

"No, not yet."

"Well, I'm gonna go and walk outside for a while."

"Okay. See ya later." Said Sparx.

Spyro went to the door and opened it. He stepped out into the corridor. He turned his head and saw a pink dragoness walking toward him.

"Oh no." He mumbled to himself.

He turned around and got behind some baskets sitting close to the wall. He looked around the baskets and saw her going into her room.

"That was close." He said.

He continued down the corridors and took the spiral staircase that went down. He walked to the bottom and turned into another corridor.

He walked down the corridor and turned left and saw giant doors. He pushed them open and stepped outside into the bright light. Young dragons were running around, playing. He smiled because he knew it would be another peaceful day. He heard a buzzing noise and he turned around. Sparx was flying beside his head.

"Breakfast arrived." He said.

.............................................................................................................

They opened the door and Cynder sat there eating. She looked at them for a second then kept eating. Spyro sat down and drank the milk in the bowl.

"No milk or anything for little Sparx." Said Sparx, watching them drink.

"Sparx, if your hungry, go talk to whoever you work for." Said Spyro.

"Good idea!" Said Sparx.

He flew out a crack in the wall.

"I wonder who he works for..." Said Cynder.

The door opened. A green dragon walked in. The dragon was the Earth Guardian named Terrador.

"Spyro, Cynder, follow me." He said.

Spyro and Cynder followed him out of the door and down the corridor. They took a spiral staircase going up and they walked down another corridor. They heard someone screaming and banging on a door. Spyro and Cynder looked at a door to their right. They heard a muffled voice.

"LET ME OUT!" Said the voice.

They caught up with Terrador.

"What was behind that door?" Asked Spyro.

"That is the Forbidden Door. No one knows what is behind it except for Volteer. " Said Terrador.

Spyro looked back at the door. Whatever was behind it wasn't screaming now. They turned a corner and entered a room. This room was very large and had four stands.

"Welcome to the counsel room." Said Cyril, the Ice Guardian.

Spyro and Cynder sat down beside Ember and Flame. Terrador sat down behind the empty stand. Spyro looked over all of the Guardians. Volteer was on the left, sitting next to him was Cyril, and next to him was Ignitus, and on the main right, was Terrador.

"Ahem! Today is the day that we, the Guardians, sort our students. We will train the dragons we pick. It will take a few years before you will be ready to become the new Guardians." Said Volteer.

Volteer cleared his throat once again.

"I will call off the Guardian's name, then I will call their student's name." He said.

He looked among the four dragons.

"Cyril, Cynder." He said.

Spyro and Cynder smiled at each other.

"Volteer, Ember."

Ember smiled

"Ignitus, Flame."

"What?" Said Spyro.

"Terrador, Spyro."

Everyone started talking.

"Everyone meet their teachers tonight. It will be your first lesson." Said Cyril.

"You may go back to rooms now." Said Volteer.
