MUAHAHAHA! This is my first REAL story! The Many Shades of Madness is not canonical to this story!

The story: Spyro and Cynder defeated Malefor one year ago. Cynder told Spyro she loved him, but Spyro could not hear her. After they were safe, Cynder could not repeat her feelings. They returned to Warfang to celebrate. Spyro met a beautiful pink dragoness and they fell in love. Cynder was heartbroken that she couldn't be with her savior and remains alone.

Spyro woke up slowly. He yawned and stretched as he always did. He looked to his side to see his mate Ember sleeping peacefully next to him. "Hehehehe, still asleep, I see." He nudged her on the shoulder. "Ember... Wake up, my love." She wouldn't wake. He gave her a kiss and heard her groan.

Ember's eyes fluttered open. She smiled as she saw her mate looking at her. "Mmmmm, good morning, Spyro." She returned his kiss. "You know what today is, right?"

Spyro chuckled. "Of course I do. Volteer said this is the day you lay our first egg."

"Mmmhmm." She pushed off the covers to reveal her large belly. "I just can't wait to hear the sound of little dragon feet running around the temple. I love you."

"And I, you." Spyro kissed her again and they got out of bed.

Meanwhile, in a far off world:

The sky was a fluorescent pink. Four large suns burned in the east, one was green, one was blue, one was pink, and one was grey. The water and the plants were brick-red. A large palace sat on the edge of a cliff with a narrow road leading from the entrance, to the village at the bottom of the cliff. In the palace, a large dragoness sat on her throne. She had rainbow-colored scales, a grey underbelly, and a tail tip shaped like a jester's hat. Her left wing was white and her right wing was black. She had three horns. The left horn was green, the middle was pink, and the right one was blue. The left and right horns came together and barely touched at the tips, and her middle horn went underneath the arch they made. She wore a rainbow-colored cloak with grey pouldrons, and she also had a grey crystal worn around her neck like an amulet. She held a large sceptre seven orbs on it, one orb was pink, one was red, one was yellow, one was blue, one was white, one was green, and one was grey. Her eyes were currently cyan, which meant she was feeling troubled. "Glomp, what is the status?" she asked.

Her servant, Glomp appraoched her. Glomp was pink with a tail blade shaped like a pretzel. His horns came together to form a heart. "Not good, Your Majesty. According to Braniac's studies, the Lord of Order is on his way."

"Blast it!" She rose from her throne and stood on two legs. "It seems we will have to open the gate after all! Glomp, send the message to our men at Delerium! They must activate the gate!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Back in Spyro's world:

Spyro and Ember sat in the dining room at the temple. Ember suddenly fell to the floor in agony. "OOOWWWWWW!"

"Ember!" Spyro jumped down to his mate. "What's wrong, Ember?!"

"Spyro! The egg! It's time!" Ember tried not to talk.

"Oh my God! We have to go to Volteer!" He picked her up and ran to Volteer's room. He pounded on the door. "Volteer, open up!"

The door opened and Volteer spoke in his usual tongue. "Spyro? Ember? What brings you here? Do we you need assistance with any-"

"Volteer, my baby's coming!" Ember shouted. She held her stomach in pain.

"We need you to help her deliver it, Volteer!" said Spyro.

"But of course! Bring her in!" They laid Ember on a cold metal table. Spyro got Terrador and Cyril while Volteer operated on her.

"THE PAIN!!!"

"Calm now, Ember! Be calm!"

"Is she okay?!" asked Spyro.

"I'm not sure," said Volteer. "From what I can tell, this egg is larger than normal!"

Ember turned her head to look at Spyro. She spoke weakilly. "Spyro... help me..."

"I'm here, Ember." He held onto her hand.

"Spyro... I... AAAAHHHHHH!!!!"

"EMBER!"

"This doesn't look good!" said Terrador.

"The poor girl is being strained!" said Cyril.

"Ember?" Spyro was beginning to cry.

"Spyro..." Ember's eyes closed.

"NO! STAY WITH ME, EMBER!"

Back at the other world:

A large arch stood in the middle of the city known as Delerium. Many dragons were operating on the machine. The rainbow-colored dragoness appeared with her servant, Glomp.

"Your Majesty!" A green dragon bowed in front of her.

"Is it ready?" Asked the queen.

"Preperations are complete, my Lady. All we need is your signet ring."

The queen removed her ring and placed it into the hole at the base of the arch. A portal suddenly opened up. "Now, we just have to wait for some fortunate adventurers to come through..."

Back to Spyro:

Spyro sat in the hall crying. Volteer came out with a grim look on his face. "Volteer? What happened?"

"I'm sorry, Spyro... But Ember has passed away."

"My poor Ember..." Spyro cried even harder.

"We were able to save the egg though." He gave Spyro a rather large egg wrapped in a blanket. The egg was purple with a pink hue.

Spyro held onto the egg tightly. "My baby... *sniff* Thank you, Volteer."
