I just recently started playing the Legend of Spyro trilogy again and decided that I wanted to write a story. So I though and realized that it's pretty sad that Spyro and Cynder are the only two to survive the Year of the Dragon, so I wanted to make another one survive. So this is how one other dragon survived.

Spyro and all their characters belong to Sienna Entertainment, Inc.

Trinity, Zane, and Ciena all belong to me.

...

The night was dark and chilly. Ominous clouds hung low in the sky. A large red male dragon, whose age was noticeable through his stiff movements, moved quietly through the dark halls of the temple. Using his fire breath as a key, he opened a sealed door and slipped inside. Seconds later the silence was shattered by the temple walls trembling and obnoxious calls ringing through the night air.

Within moments the red dragon emerged from the door way, only this time he held a purple egg securely in his claws. He rushed around the corner and disappeared into the darkness.

Once he was gone, another, younger dragon tiptoed through the same door he had just left. It was a dark blue dragon, female, but just as bulky as the male before. She moved swiftly, the aqua markings on her head and belly catching random dull lights from the cracks in the walls.

The room was filled with many dragon eggs of various colors. The she-dragon swung her head back and forth, searching for a certain one. Her icy blue eyes finally stilled on a yellow egg. It reminded her of her son's egg before he had hatch a few years ago. Just as reached for it, something pulled her to stop. Confused, she wondered why it felt wrong to take the first egg she saw.

Again, she searched the room, this time the pull leading her to the corner. Looking back into the shadows, she saw an egg that could have been mistaken for a stone with its light grey coloring. Lowering her head, she touched it with the side of her muzzle. Its shell was icy cold, telling her that it was either not going to make it through the night anyways or it was an ice dragon.

Suddenly, a noise outside made her jump. Without a second though, she scooped up the small grey egg and rushed for the door. She tried no to look around anymore, sorrow tightening her throat as she thought about all the eggs that would not survive this night.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" a scratchy, deep voice asked, as three ape-like creatures all of a sudden stepped out to block the doorway, "Trying to save your precious egg, she-dragon?"

The dragon bowed her head back angrily, "Not trying, maggot face. Succeeding." Without another word, she lowered her head and opened her jaws. A blizzard poured from her mouth, coating the three ape creatures until they were frozen solid. Then, with her large tail, she shattered all of them like glass hitting the floor.

Now tired and annoyed, the she-dragon lowered her large aqua colored horns and smashed through the temple wall, surprising many more of the ape-creatures outside.

"Get her!" A loud voice called from along the ranks.

Again, the dragon breathed her ice breath, freezing the creatures before taking flight. Once she was far enough away, she took a look back. Their once safe Dragon Temple was already overrun with the apes, but there was nothing she could do. She pulled the egg up closer to her belly, trying to warm its icy cold shell.

The sound of wings beating ahead, made her look to the distance. A young dragon, who did not look but a few years old, was making his way towards her. If they had been standing, he would only have reached her shoulder. He was an orange dragon with pale yellow markings that matched the she-dragon's aqua ones.

"Zane, what are you doing out this far?" she growled at him.

He took no notice to her tone and answered, "I was worried, mother. You disappeared and then the army came." He turned so that he was flying next to her.

"I'm sorry for worrying you, child." She said, her ice blue eyes staring straight ahead.

Then, Zane notice the egg in her claws. Stretching out his wings, Zane pulled himself to a stop mid-flight, "You stole an egg?" he gasped.

The mother dragon stopped and turned to him, "I felt I had to. Ignitus had already taken the purple dragon egg to safety, and I felt it was wrong for only the purple dragon to survive this Year of the Dragon." She explained, "Is this the greatest of time to be talking about this?"

Zane looked back to the temple were the creatures were stirring up a lot more noise. He spotted them carrying something out. Squinting, he tried to focus on it, "Looks like the purple dragon and that egg won't be the only ones now. They are taking a black egg." He said.

The female dragon flew up beside him, "May the ancestors look after that one." She whispered, before turning and flying away. Zane hesitated for a few moments before he followed his mother away.

...

The next day was sunny when Zane awoke beside his mother. They had found a valley uninhabited by dragons and had taken shelter in an abandoned cave.

The orange dragon stretched and yawned before blinking his yellow eyes open to the sunlight that washed into the cave. That was when he heard a soft tapping sound. Looking around, he spotted the grey egg his mother had rescued; only, it was not grey. The lack of light from last night must have fooled his eyes.

The egg was pure white on bottom with a light pastel blue splotch on the top, and it was cracking!

"Mom." Zane called quietly to his sleeping mother, while trying not to startle the emerging baby.

When the she-dragon did not answer, he tried again, "Mom." He said in a little harsher tone. She stirred but did not wake.

"Ciena!" Zane almost barked his mother's name angrily.

The ice dragon jumped up startled, "What! Did they find us?"

"The egg, mother." Zane growled.

Ciena rolled over, blinking her unfocused eyes. Once she realized what was going on, she fixated her icy blue orbs on the cracking egg.

About that time, a pastel blue horn broke through the shell. The whole thing shattered and the baby dragon rolled out onto the cave floor.

Ciena froze from shock, but Zane could not help but to smile down on the adorable baby. It was a female dragon, slender for a baby and smaller than most. She was pure white with pastel blue horns. Beneath her eyes were three little pastel blue spots, which made her unusual bright green eyes stand out more.

She looked up at Zane, past the egg horn on the tip of nose. As soon as their eyes met, she sneezed, knocking herself backwards. Now on her back, she wiggled to try to get up. Zane laughed before nuzzling her back to her feet.

The baby looked around the cave and spotted Ciena. Her eyes lit up and she proceeded to squirm her way to the surprised she-dragon. Curling up between Ciena's legs, the baby yawned widely before laying her head down to sleep.

"Mom? What's the matter?" Zane asked, finally seeing his shocked mother.

Ciena shook her head, clearing her thoughts, "Nothing, my son." Then she looked down at the tiny white dragon, "Her name will be Trinity." She smiled. "A purple dragon, black dragon, and white dragon. How odd."

Zane cocked his head to the side, but decided not to ask. He touched the tip of his nose to the baby's, "Welcome to the family, Trinity."
