Author's note- WHEEEEW! Time to start the last part of the Trilogy. I can personally guarantee that there will not be a fourth part. As always, prologues come first. Gonna do the same thing as last time, a large few month gap between stories. It will make things easier. Review!

The Legend of Spyro- Secrets of the Crystal Warrior

Chapter 1- Prologue

7 months have passed since the battle for Warfang, and when Kaze was reborn. Things are not looking good for the cities. Some merchants are refusing to leave the safety of their homes in fear of Kaze and Malefor. Governors are twitchy and uneasy, always trying to find new ways to build defenses. Some have even spent their support money on defense, leaving the city in a state of mistrust and confusion. What is strange though is that Malefor and Kaze have not made a sound since they fled Warfang. People have their suspicions, but the only person who knows Kaze personally, is Rayde.

Rayde has been trying everything he can do to think of a way to take down Kaze without repeating past events. So far, he has been unsuccessful. Rayde has been training Spyro in Light every other day now, due to that he is already adept in his training, and what Rayde is trying to solve, the riddle of Kaze's demise. Rayde has his suspicions on what Kaze plans to do, but otherwise is unaware of what he is doing. Rayde is also hanging onto Haidex, Drome's previous sword. Rayde has learned how to wield the blade, and has discovered that despite of its owner, it has no magical characteristics. Rayde has also been given a new house that was vacant. Courtesy of the Elder, Jex.

Spyro has been making progress in his training. He has learned a few new tricks with Trinsyt. One of which, the blades on his gauntlets can be shot out and are connected by a thin string of light. Spyro can move these blades around in the air much like a whip. Spyro has also learned that if he punches the ground while charging power into the Trinsyt, a wave of energy fires out of the ground in large pillars. Cynder has been doing well with her pregnancy. She is due for laying her egg any day now. She has definitely been showing, she is very round at this point in time. They cant wait for the big day.

Dekrosna has been fairly active as well. A few weeks after the attack, he received an invitation to return to Nariek, his home town for a short period of time. Strangely enough, the invitation asked for Spyro, Cynder, and Rayde to come as well. They have accepted. They were to leave a few days from now. Dekrosna is also trying to find ways to make him stronger, he hopes to discuss it with someone in Nariek. Dekrosna has been training hard as well with Sorvek. Nothing new has been learned about his sword.

Hunter has been busy with managing Avalar at this point in time. The recent moving has left things uneasy with the other leaders of Avalar. The only ones that Hunter can seem to trust is Archer, Rose, and a newer leader in charge of medicine development named Meadow, an old friend of Hunter's. Hunter and Rose have been together when Hunter wasn't working. They are hardly ever seen alone. Rose has never been happier with Hunter. Hunter feels the same way.

Warfang

Spyro punched a dummy in the face using his gauntlets. Spyro was now training with his gauntlets. Rayde has not been easy on him, setting him up with hard challenges, and difficult scenarios. This was just another case of many enemies attacking at once.

Spyro turned and shot the blades out of his gauntlets. He swung his hand over to the side, wrapping 3 dummies in the light string. Spyro smiled and called back the blades. The light strings then constricted and cut the dummies in half. Spyro then charged energy into his hands, and punched the ground. Several pillars of light erupted from the ground, taking the remaining dummies.

Spyro looked around and noticed there were no more enemies. He looked over to Rayde and said, "Well?" Rayde thought for a second before saying, "I give it an 8 out of ten. Good way to finish it off, but your attack style was slightly predictable. Try to keep your enemy guessing, don't repeat tactics unless they work." Spyro understood and nodded. Rayde then said, "Thats enough for today. You have made great progress in these last few months. I don't think you need anymore training from me." Spyro nodded and said, "There is something I wanted to ask you though." Rayde stared at him and said, "Ok, shoot." Spyro then asked, "Can I use these gauntlets while in Fury mode?"

Rayde sighed and said, "I am glad you brought that up. Ok, using Light fury with your Trinsyt gauntlets might seem like a good idea, but know that it should only be used in the most dire of situation. I say situation, not situations because if you use Light Fury while using the gauntlets, it will most likely kill you. The effect would tear your body apart if you attack. Only use it when there is no other option, and make sure you are alone." Spyro nodded in response and said, "Okay then, I guess I will see you sometime tomorrow. We are leaving for Nariek in a few days right?" Rayde nodded and said, "Yeah, Dekrosna said we should leave in two days early morning. Go on, your mate is waiting."

Spyro smiled and took off, as did Rayde towards his house. When Spyro landed in front of the house, he peaked inside to see if Cynder was awake. Cynder wasn't visible in the living room or kitchen. Spyro smiled and walked into the house. He quietly shut the door and walked upstairs. He looked inside the room to see Cynder curled up in their bed. Spyro quietly walked up to her and curled up next to her. Cynder stirred, but otherwise did not wake up. Spyro smiled and thought, She sleeps so soundly. Spyro then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Meanwhile with Rayde

Rayde landed in front of his house. It was a small place, meant for one person. He walked inside, which consisted of a small kitchen, living room, bathroom, and a bedroom. There was a large table in the side of the living room. There was a couch, and a lounge chair in the living room. His bedroom consisted of a medium-size bed, and a dresser. Bathroom and Kitchen had the usual things. There was also a desk to the side, where there were a lot of crumpled papers, and a stack of new ones. Rayde walked into the kitchen and got something to eat. When Rayde had finished, he walked over to his desk and sat down. He grabbed a quill and a new piece of paper and started to think.

Now, Kaze has been reborn through a second means of taking over my body. Malefor sped up the process and extracted the body and soul from me. That is why Kaze has a body of his own now. Kaze will be difficult to take down right now. He has learned how to control his spirit after his physical body would die. That is how he tried to take me over the first time. I need to find a way to seal his spirit in something else then. But, how? I don't know the spell......wait! I don't know the spell! But that book that Cyril showed me might! And I might be able to find something in Nariek as well. I will talk to him tomorrow.

Rayde wrote down a note on a piece of paper that said 'talk to Cyril today about the book.' Rayde then put Haidex on the table and placed the note on top of it. Rayde walked into his bedroom, which didn't have a door. And changed into some house clothes. Rayde then walked over to his chair and sat down. Rayde eventually got tired and ended up falling asleep in his chair.

Meanwhile at the Mountain of Malefor

Malefor was sitting in his thrown room. Malefor was watching Kaze overlook the map he had so he could learn where everything was. Kaze already had an idea after watching Rayde set up these points. Kaze placed a small tack on a spot that said, Red Canyon, and labled the tack, Construction site. Malefor looked over at Kaze and said, "Construction site?" Kaze nodded and said, "It was my previous hideaway. It is where the Golem and Destroyer were created. I may need to pay a visit there again." Malefor nodded.

Kaze looked over the map a bit more and said, "It seems that Nariek is still here. That surprises me." Malefor nodded and said, "I have plans for that town as well. The leader there, Leandra, is an old friend of mine." Kaze smiled and said, "A female friend, is she more than a friend to you?" Malefor sighed and said, "That was a long time ago. But not now." Kaze smiled and shook his head.

For a long time, Kaze overlooked the map. When he finished up, Kaze looked at Malefor and said, "What do you plan to do with Cynder's alter-ego?" Malefor stared at Kaze and said, "I plan to give her a suitable body when the time comes. I already have a candidate in mind." Kaze stared at Malefor and asked, "Who?" Malefor smiled and said, "You will see when the time comes." Kaze smiled and said, "Good, I like surprises."

Malefor nodded and asked, "What is it you plan to do, Kaze. What happens after all of this is over?" Kaze thought for a second before saying, "You know, I haven't really thought about that. I guess we will figure out in time." Malefor nodded in response. Kaze then said, "Well, its getting late and I should get some rest.." Malefor nodded and said, "Then you may leave." Kaze nodded and walked out.

While Kaze was walking back to his room, he started thinking, He really thinks that he has power over me. It would be best to make him think that for the time being. I already have all of this planned out, and no one will be able to stop me. Not Malefor, not Rayde, not Spyro, not even that fool of an elder Jex. Malefor wont even know what hit him when the time comes.
