Ch. 1 It All Starts Now

I know what you all are thinking, why is he starting yet another story? Well the answer is that this was actually supposed to be my second story but I kept postponing it due to my one-shots coming up big and this was push to the back burner but now it's finally starting. Keep in mind that this along with my Destiny story will be sporadic updates until my Halo story and my Skyrim story are done. When one gets done then one of my sporadics will take its place.

I keep wishing a new Spyro series will step up but those hopes are pretty much gone sadly but I won't give up on the franchise. The pairing is a pretty weird but I hope people respond well to it. It's a human X Female Spyro X Cynder pairing for what it's worth but I hope people give it a chance.

Credit for Ellis's dragon form (which will be shown later) and his power goes to God of Chaos Dragons as it was his idea so thank you sir for the great help!

Disclaimer: I own nothing….and I have no idea who owns the Spyro franchise anymore.

Everything in Warfang was usually quiet at night but on the one year mark of Spyra and Cynder's victory over Malefor the entire city was alive and well with celebration. Fireworks, dancing, food and partying were on the menu tonight and no one wanted to remain indoors but things were different at the Dragon Temple.

Ellis walked into his room with an audible sigh of relief. He was the odd one out in Avalar and for two different reasons. One of which is that he was a human and humans simply didn't exist in Avalar at all. At 5"7' he wasn't big by any standards but he got by with short black hair and green eyes with light skin that looked like he barely got any sun but that was mainly due to his baggy clothing he had to wear.

The second, albeit secretive, reason was the fact that when he aided Spyra in Convexity he was accidently knocked into the beam of light that gave him an unintended side effect. He now had a dragon form that he could take at will along with a mixture of powers from both Spyra and Cynder, fire and lightning from Spyra and shadow and wind from Cynder, for some unknown reason. Not that he was complaining or else he wouldn't have been able to help in the defeat of the Golem or even helping to stop Malefor but Spyra and Cynder got all the credit and Ellis wasn't complaining. He never liked the spotlight and always preferred being in the background as the help instead of the main role.

"How long has it been?" Ellis asked himself. "Four years or so?" Four years since he arrived due to the Chronicler saving him from a car wreck. Four years since he first met Spyra as a young dragon and helped her stop Cynder. Four years since he had fulfilled what he was asked of by the Chronicler and yet when he was offered a chance to return home he refused it. His father was an alcoholic who screwed everything in sight and left them when Ellis was a child and his mother died in the car wreck.

A knock on the door disturbed his musings. "Come in." He wasn't surprised to Cyril walk through the door.

"How are you holding up?" Cyril asked getting straight to the point. Cyril was an ice dragon with light blue scales with white splots travelling down his back to the tip of his tail and a dark purple underside and wings. His tail had six sharp spines that could be used a club if necessary.

"I'm just tired from all the running around I did today. Trying to set up an entire city and then the temple isn't easy, especially when the younger dragons feel more like playing than helping." Ellis said with a small laugh and Cyril actually gave a small ghost of a smile in return. Ellis liked Cyril despite his prideful attitude and boasting nature and treated Cyril like a surrogate father when he never had one and Cyril treat Ellis like a son that he never had and always dropped his prideful attitude whenever Ellis was around.

"Have you been practicing?" Cyril asked curiously. "With your other form that is."

Ellis looked down in shame. Truth was that he wasn't working on it at all and Cyril knew it. It wasn't that he didn't like his dragon form but it just didn't feel like his true self. The times that he has used it were few and far between, only to help stop the Golem, the Destroyer and Malefor and even those times he just felt as if it wasn't him. "No, I have not."

Cyril only let out a sigh. "You will never get use to it if you don't use it."

"I know but it doesn't feel like it's me who is in control." Ellis said in shame.

Cyril walked into the room and set himself next to Ellis's makeshift bed. It was really a big pillow with a blanket but it sufficed. "That is something that all dragons have to contend with when they get to be what you called a teenager. Their raw instincts sometimes take over their actions and it takes a lot of parenting and willpower to keep them down. It doesn't mean that you have little control, it means that I haven't done enough as a parent yet."

Ellis gave a small chuckle. "With all that has happened it's a wonder you even found time to parent a little."

Cyril gave a rare laugh in return. "A parent will always make time for their child."

"Glad to hear it." Ellis replied as he settled down. "I take it Spyra and Cynder are still at Warfang?"

Cyril shook his head. "They returned a little while ago and last I saw, they were looking for you and Sparx."

Ellis raised an eyebrow. "Sparx wasn't with them?"

"He was but he returned before them because he wanted to sleep." Cyril said with a snort while Ellis only laughed again.

"That sounds like Sparx." Ellis agreed before calming down. "Why were they looking for me?"

Cyril gave a knowing smile. "They waited for you at the celebration but you disappeared after you finished setting up Warfang. I know you don't like to be front and center but if you are to carry on my legacy when I pass then you have to get use to it sooner or later."

Ellis sighed in apprehension. "If I have to carry on your legacy then it is doomed." He said jokingly and Cyril snorted in retort.

"I will get you use to being the center of attention if it's the last thing I do!" Cyril said in mock-anger before Ellis broke down laughing with Cyril joining him a moment later. They remained like that until a knock on the door interrupted.

"Is everyone coming to visit?" Ellis said in exasperation. "If you aren't delivering pizza then don't bother!"

"Many would think that we are better company than a pizza Ellis." Cynder said as she emerged from the door's shadow with Spyra in tow.

"Considering after all we've been through together; let's not forget saving the world from an ego maniac." Spyra said in mock-hurt.

Spyra was a purple dragoness with a yellow underside and yellow spines going down her back and a yellow pointed tip on her tail. Her wings were orange color and her eyes were a deep purple.

Cynder was a dark colored dragoness with a magenta underside and magenta wings with a blade-like iron tip on her tail and six silver-white horns on her head with white markings on her head, back and shoulders. Her eyes were emerald-green in color.

"Sparx was in on that deal as well but you don't seem to be bothering him." Ellis said in mock-anger.

"We did bother him and he kicked us out after a few minutes. My own brother kicked out his sister!" Spyra said in exasperation.

Ellis shook his head while Cyril stood up. "Well I'll let you three talk but tomorrow Ellis I want you practicing with your dragon form." He said as he walked out, leaving the two dragonesses and human alone.

"Who knew Cyril was actually nice under all that pride." Cynder said as she laid down on Ellis's bed.

"Hey, he's not bad once you get past that!" Ellis said before he was hushed by Spyra.

"We know that but sometimes his pride really grates on me especially when he trained me when I first came to the temple." Spyra said as she laid next to Cynder.

"Umm…not to sound rude but don't you two have your own rooms?" Ellis asked with a raised eyebrow.

"You never showed up to the celebration so we thought we would meet you here instead." Spyra said. "I know you don't like being the center of attention but I thought you would at least show up and be more open with everyone here."

Ellis gave Spyra's head a small rub. "I just don't fit here Spyra."

"Then why did you stay?" Cynder asked suddenly.

Ellis didn't answer and only looked down. The reason he had stayed was the simple fact that he had no one else left back on Earth. Here he had a home, good friends to talk to and plenty of adventures to go on.

Spyra nudged his hand and smiled. "You have friends here Ellis and we don't want you feeling alone."

Cynder gave a small smile. "Who else gives good wing massages?" She teased as Ellis gave a light-hearted chuckle.

"Now I know why I love you girls." Ellis said missing the blushes that appeared on Spyra and Cynder's faces.

Both dragonesses got up and laid down next to Ellis. "I stand by what I said earlier; don't you two have your own rooms?"

His only answer was them forcing him down and cuddling into him taking care to avoid hurting him with their horns as their legs and tails encircled one of his and on of their wings crossed on his chest.

"Too comfortable to move." Spyra said sleepily.

"Let us just rest here tonight ok?" Cynder said as she closed her emerald eyes.

Ellis sighed before closing his eyes as well. He wasn't going to get much sleep like this but he might as well enjoy it. 'After all' he thought warily. 'It won't be long until suitors lined up to court them so might as well enjoy what I got.'

After making sure Ellis wasn't awake, Spyra and Cynder opened their eyes and shot each other a glare.

"I knew him longer!" Spyra mouthed angrily. "So back off!"

"I loved him first!" Cynder mouthed back. "Why don't you!"

It was only when Ellis brought an arm around both of them did they stop glaring at each other and settle back down.

'You'll see…..he'll be mine in the end.' They both thought with internal grins.

And I will leave it right there for now. I am an avid fan the Spyro franchise and I wanted to give back to the community so I figured I would begin my Spyro story now. As I said before the pairing is set and won't change but I am going to see where this goes. Expect jealous dragoness fights between Cynder and Spyra as well as jealous dragons vying for their attention for courting purposes.

Again, credit for Ellis's form and powers goes to God of Chaos Dragons and you will see his form in action against some other dragons. Cyril will maintain his prideful nature but with Ellis he becomes a parental figure so expect that about him but overall try and enjoy the fic please!

Read and review and tell me what you think! ^^
