Chapter 1: Awakening
Sunlight poured down on the newly fixed land of Avalar. The plants were even more colorful and brighter than before. A perfect breeze swept through the trees, carrying the sounds of the forest into the air. The river and waterfalls were a brilliant bright blue that perfectly reflected the rising sun's light. As the sun climbed higher into the empty sky, the sky was painted a stunning orange. And lying beneath a fairly large and old tree in a clearing in the valley, were two dragons.
Slowly Spyro opened one of his violet eyes and saw the beautiful world around him, buzzing with life and color. But, to him, the most beautiful thing he had ever seen laid before him. Cynder's black scales glowed as if each one had had a star placed within it. Her ivory horns shone like polished pearls. Her tail blade was sharper than any weapon, but gave so much more of an elegant figure. The collars around her neck, front legs and tail were gleaming brightly as they took in the unfamiliar sunlight. Then, her teal eyes opened. To him, this was the most beautiful feature she had. They gleamed even more beautifully then the ocean would ever. He could have stared into them all day.
Finally Cynder broke the silence, "S-Spyro… We did it. Malefor's gone… forever." He could see the relief in her eyes as she weakly said that. The cruel monster that had tortured her since she was a hatchling to gain his freedom was now dead.
Spyro smiled, "Yeah. We did it Cyn…we did it." Suddenly he remembered what he had heard Cynder say to him back in the middle of the world. I love you. Those three simple words had given him the energy needed to transport them out of there when the world began to come back together. He wanted so badly to say it back to her, but was too nervous.
Cynder slowly got up. "I'm going to find some energy crystals. Come on." Spyro smiled and gladly got up to follow her. The two aimlessly walked around for a while, until they finally stumbled upon a couple a crystals growing right next to one of the waterfalls. Cynder and Spyro both took one and absorbed their energy together.
They stood there for a while before Spyro remembered Warfang. "Cynder! We need to get back to Warfang! The fo-" he stopped when he remembered Ignitus's tragic death at the Belt of Fire.
Cynder noticed Spyro sad expression, "Spyro, are you okay?"
He then broke out of his trance and looked at her, "Yeah, I just… remembered Ignitus." Tears began to form in his eyes.
To help him through the pain, Cynder hugged him and said, "It's okay Spyro. I'll always be here for you, no matter what, because I-well, I love you." A surprised expression crossed Spyro's face as Cynder heavily blushed at what she just said.
He smiled and replied, "Cynder, I love you too." The two dragons sat there for a little bit staring into each other's eyes. They then began to lean towards each other. Finally, the two lovers kissed. Time seemed to freeze as they sat there kissing. But Spyro once again remembered the guardians. Once they parted Spyro said, "Come on, we need to get to Warfang. The three guardians don't know about Ignitus and don't know if we're alive or not."
"Yeah, plus, who knows what Warfang looks like right now."
The two unfurled their wings and took to the skies towards the great dragon city, Warfang.
