Alright then its been a while but I'm finally posting a new story. Now before any of you read this story it is important for all of you to know that this is a heavy Spyro x Ember story later on, so if you don't like then don't read.

In the dark dreaded, mountain name Mount Malefor, there was a ferrous battle between Malefor, and the purple dragon of the current generation and his companion, Cynder.

"You can't beat me I'm eternal!" scream Malefor to his arch-rivals.

Tired and bruised from their battle Malefor dug up the rest of his magical energy and focused the rest of it in one single attack. Opening his muzzle, he unleashed a massive Convexity attack at the two heroes.

Seeing this, Spyro and Cynder used their own convexity attacks to counter act Malefor's. The three beams collided with one another. The constant stream of all three attacks resulted in a stalemate, as the beam pushed against one another waiting for someone to give.

Being drained of most of his energy, Spyro said "just… hold…on."

In what seemed like a stroke of luck to Spyro, Malefor used up the last of his magical energy, and his convexity attack ended. With Spyro and Cynder still launching their own convexity attack, there beams collided into Malefor, causing him to fall to the crystal like flooring that was the world's core.

Dazed and confused, Malefor picked himself up off the ground. Suddenly five being made of purple light appeared from the world's core and surrounded Malefor.

"What is this?!" asked Malefor both confused, and slightly afraid of the sudden appearance of these mysterious beings.

Suddenly the purple entities flew up, grabbed Malefor, and started to drag him down into the core.

"NOOO!" screamed Malefor, as the last bit of him disappeared in the crystal along with the mysterious beings.

Just then the core of the world started to glow as the pieces of earth around Spyro and Cynder started to break apart. It had accrued to them that the destroyer had finished his mission, and the world was breaking apart.

Seeing this, the two dragons, landed on the crystal.

"Spyro, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," said Cynder in a sad tone.

"Don't be, it's over now," said Spyro trying to comfort her.

"So this is it?" asked Cynder.

Spyro didn't know how to answer this. Suddenly a voice rang in him mind.

"Spyro," said the voice. "When a dragon dies, he does not truly leave this world. His spirit lives on, binding itself with nature, offering hope for the future."

Then the answer came to him. "I know what I need to do. Just get out of here Cynder," said Spyro.

"Spyro no, you don't need to do anything. Let's just go!" said Cynder slightly scared of what Spyro had planned.

"Where, Cynder? There'll be nothing left! The world is breaking apart, but I think I can stop it. I think I'm meant to.

Cynder still wanted to leave, to get out of the place they were in, but then she saw the fear in Spyro's eyes. She could tell that he wasn't sure if he was going to live after this whole ordeal. She couldn't bring herself to leave him alone at this time, so she said "Then I'm with you."

Closing his eyes Spyro felt a surge of energy flow through him before being released around him. Then he spread his wings as he started to float upwards. A beam suddenly came out of him and the world started to fix itself.

Just before the world was completely fixed, Spyro heard Cynder say "I love you."

Then everything went black.

Later Spyro began to open his eyes, but closed them as he the felt a blinding light of the suns beam down upon him. It took him a short while before he got used to the light. Slowly standing up, he felt sore all over. Looking over his body he saw several cuts, sores, and bruises spread all on his torso. Some of them seemed rather fresh, as they had some blood drizzle down them.

His mind was in a daze. Thinking hard, he suddenly remembered why he felt sore. He remembered all about the battle he had with Malefor, and he knew that he wasn't alone, but he couldn't remember who he was with. Then it hit him, Cynder. He began searching for her, and soon he caught sight of her.

Running over to her injured body, he checked to see if she was still alive. He let out a sigh of relief as he felt her heart beat. He did however saw that like him she too was covered head to toe in injuries. Spyro even noticed that she had a small pool of blood, forming under her.

Looking around, Spyro went off in search of some red crystals to heal Cynder's and himself.

Upon returning Spyro saw that Cynder was starting to wake up, and was trying to stand.

"Cynder, don't try to stand. Here take these," said Spyro as he handed her the red crystals he found.

"Spyro your alive!" said Cynder with much delight. She gladly took the crystals, and smashed them. Once she was healed, she asked "are you alright?"

"Yea I'm fine," said Spyro.

Slowly she stood up and asked "What happened?

"We did it Cynder. We won," said Spyro with much delight.

A smile quickly grew on her face, and her eyes began to water to the point where she was about to cry tears of joy. "Is he really gone?" to which Spyro only nodded his head in response.

Cynder's eyes seemed to brighten even more. Then an idea came to her mind. She leaned forward towards Spyro as if she was about to tell him something. Seeing this Spyro also leaned forward to hear what Cynder had to say.

He heard Cynder take a large breath, and before Spyro could pull his head away Cynder screamed "Tag you're it!"

Spyro suddenly was shoved by Cynder. He would have chased after her immediately, but his head was still ringing from Cynder yelling in his ear hole. Shaking his head clear of all ringing, Spyro then chased after her. The two ran around a bit befor taking off into the sky.

They began to laugh as they flew around chasing one another.

By the time the sun fell and night shadowed the land, the two stopped there playing and started to rest. The two looked for a cave and soon found one. Inside the two made a fire, and roasted some dinner.

Once they finished, the two then fell silent, and stared into the fire. The silence was broken however when Spyro said "You know I think tomorrow we should head back to Warfang."

"Why do we need to do that," asked Cynder confused.

"Well first we need to see if everyone else is still alive, and show them that we aren't dead ourselves," said Spyro.

"I'm not sure if I want to go back," said Cynder. "What if the people hate me for what I've done as the Terror of the Skies?"

"You didn't do anything Cynder, that was all the Terror of the Skies who killed those people, and she was a minion of Malefor's. You are Cynder, hero of the realms, don't let anyone tell you otherwise," said Spyro in a stern tone.

"But I am the Terror of the Skies, I am the one who murdered all of those…" said Cynder in as sad tone before Spyro interrupted her.

"NO YOUR NOT! You had no control over what she did. Stop telling yourself that you were responsible.

Cynder started at Spyro, with some fear in her eyes. She looked away from him before saying "Alright Spyro, if that is what you wish,"

"Good," said Spyro satisfied that he was able to convince Cynder. "Now let's get some sleep, we have a long day of flying tomorrow."

"Alright Spyro,"

The two soon fell asleep. This sleep however did not last long for Spyro as a few hours later he woke up. All remnants of what he was dreaming of disappeared from his thoughts. He looked around the cave he and Cynder took refuge in. The only thing that was different with his surrounding was that Cynder had scouted closer to him, and was sleeping right next to him.

Slightly confused as to why Cynder had crept closer to him, Spyro was about to wake her up to ask if everything was alright, when he suddenly felt his throat dry up. Spyro decided to let Cynder sleep, and stood up to get some water. He spread his wings and flew off.

Unfortunately Cynder was awoken by the sound of flapping wings. Cynder slowly opened her eyes. She was still rather tired and the world around was a blur. By the time she fully woke up, Spyro was long gone from sight.

Looking around the cave, Cynder notice that Spyro was no longer there, inside the cave. Panicking slightly Cynder stood up and walked around searching for Spyro, but she could not find a single clue as for the ware abouts of the purple dragon.

Scared Cynder screamed "SPYRO!"

Over with Spyro, he found a small calm river to drink from. Leaning down he began to lap up some water. He stopped however when he heard Cynder call out his name. Afraid that his friend was hurt, Spyro quickly flew back to the cave Cynder was in. Landing he search around franticly for her. He soon found her laying down on the ground her face buried in her paws, with tear pouring down her face. Spyro quickly approached her, picked her up and held her. He could feel Cynder's entire body shake with fear.

"Cynder what happened, are you alright?" asked Spyro worried.

Cynder didn't respond right away. Instead she continued to quiver in fear and cried into Spyro's chest. It wasn't until Cynder felt Spyro wrap his wings around her when she said "Don't let them take me. Don't let them take me back."

"Shhhh, everything is going to be just fine, Cynder. Don't you worry about a thing," said Spyro trying to calm her down.

Cynder continued to cry and shake uncontrollably. Gently Spyro began to rub up and down her spine, in hopes that it would get her to relax. Soon her crying turned to sniffles, and her shaking ceased. Cynder took one final deep breath before saying "thanks, Spyro, I feel better now."

Spyro let her go, and moved away from her slightly. "So what happened, Cynder? Who is going to take you back?" asked Spyro concerned for his friend.

"It's nothing, Spyro don't worry about it. I just had some terrible memories pop into my head was all," said Cynder. Spyro stared at her, not fully convinced. Seeing this, Cynder said "Really everything is fine, no need to worry about me."

Spyro still couldn't believe that she was fine, but he guessed that it was about something serious, so he asked "Cynder, I have a hard time believing that, would you rather we talk about it once we get to Warfang?"

Cynder thought this over. She wasn't still quite sure about it, but she said "yea, that would be great."

"Alright then," said Spyro. He then noticed that there fire has gone out, so he asked "Cynder, I'm going to go get some more fire wood, are you going to be alright while I'm gone?"

"Of course I'm going to be alright, Spyro I've dealt with much worse."

"Ok then, I will be back shortly."

Just as Spyro said, after he left, he returned a few short moments later with a few small twigs in his paws. He lit one of them on fire, with his flame breath, and used it to light the rest, before putting them all into their fire pit. Surely enough a few seconds later, they had another fire going.

Spyro noticed that Cynder was just about to go back to sleep when a question came to Spyro's mind.

"Hey Cynder, do you think we can chat a little before we go back to sleep,"

Cynder thought about this for a few short moments before saying "yea, I can talk a little. What is on your mind?

"Well when we were down in the core, I heard you say that you loved me. Is that true?" asked Spyro, blushing slightly, though Cynder didn't notice it.

Cynder looked at him confused. "I never said that,"

"But you did, Cynder. You were right next to me, and I heard your voice say I love you,"

Cynder's face seemed to become even more confused. "I'm sorry to say this Spyro, but I have no idea, what you're talking about. If you're telling the truth, and I did say that, I have no memory of doing so," said Cynder. Suddenly she began to panic a little. She looks at Spyro with a scared look in her eyes and asks "Spyro, what's happening to me, what's wrong with me, help me please, I'm scared."

Spyro, quickly walked closer to her, and began to comfort her again. He then said "don't worry Cynder, everything will be fine, we will go fine someone who can help when we get back."

"Please don't leave me, Spyro," pleaded Cynder.

"Don't worry; I will be by your side whenever you need me to, Cynder."

The two sat there again, Cynder quivering, and crying once more. "Thank you Spyro," Cynder said before going quiet once more.

Soon after, Spyro heard Cynder snore a tiny bit. Looking down at her, he saw that she was fast asleep. After gently laying her down, he moved away from her slightly. Not too far away, but far enough to give her some space. He began to stare at her once more. Whatever was going on with Cynder, it was something terrible, and it worried him. The mere thought of losing one of his friends sent shivers down his spine.

He too however suddenly felt the need for sleep come over him, and he began to drift off. Just before he fell asleep he said with a whisper "don't worry Cynder, whatever is going on, we will find a way to stop it,"

There you have it chapter one, now I will try to post a new chapter every two weeks, but I make no promises. Until then.
