Spyro: The Ambiance of Love
Chapter One: Choices
Author's Note: This is my first fan fiction to write. Please R&R, it would be greatly appreciated. This takes place shortly after the defeat of Malefor.

The day was bright and clear as Spyro made his way through the crowded streets of Warfang. After his fight with Malefor and his associated forces, he enjoyed the peace and the prosperity that had reigned. Two weeks had passed, and Spyro was finding himself feeling very lonely. Cynder had been freed of Malefor's curse, and he did see her quite often in and around Warfang. The two had become good friends recently, seeing as how Cynder was often shunned by the other dragons. Then there was also Ember, who had and insane crush on Spyro and made it painfully obvious that she liked him. He was good friends with both of them, but Spyro had grown to the age that he was looking for a permanent mate; however, it was difficult for him to choose just one of the two beautiful dragonesses, especially because he did not want to lose the other as a friend.
"Ancestors, please help me," Spyro said.
He turned a corner near the temple and found both Cynder and Ember fighting over something. As he moved closer, Spyro figured out what, or rather, whom the two were fighting about. Him.
"You think that just because he freed you means that he wants you!" Ember said, raising her voice at the black and red dragoness standing a short distance away. "I've loved Spyro for most of my life, and you think you can TAKE HIM FROM ME!"
Cynder was a bit more calm and collected as she responded. "Let me ask you this Ember. Has Spyro EVER returned your affections? Has he ever done anything to you other than push you away and blow you off? You are persistent, I'll give you that. Give up already! How many times does he have to push you away before you finally realize that HE DOESN'T LIKE YOU BACK?" At this, Spyro saw that Cynder had struck a chord within Ember. Ember's eyes showed nothing but malice and hatred toward Cynder.
Spyro knew that if he didn't make his presence known soon, things were going to get very nasty, very quickly. He strode over to the two dragonesses, and broke things up before it got any worse.
"What is it that the two of you are fighting about?" Spyro asked as he looked at the two of them. How am I supposed to pick if it should come to that? He thought to himself.
Ember and Cynder both looked at each other with malice still evident in their eyes. Cynder's eyes welled up with tears as she said, "You."
Why is it that these two both want me so badly? Am I really that attractive to both of them? Spyro thought. "Why is it that you were fighting over me?" he directed at both of them.
Ember put on an expression of total love and devotion as she said, "I have loved you for most of my life, darling. Now, this… this… this… bitch wants to take you from me!" she spat out the word with as much hatred as a teenage dragoness could put on it, and that was saying something.
"This child is too stupid to realize that you don't like her back!" Cynder replied in turn. "I am simply trying to help her realize that."
Spyro was at a loss for words. I am so screwed. I have two dragonesses that both love me, I don't know what to do. I want to have both of them as friends, but I don't know which one to call mine quite yet. What do I do? Ancestors, I beg you, please help me.
It was then that Spyro suddenly collapsed in the middle of the street. The last thing that he heard was the two of them trying to console him whilst they still fought.
It was at that point that Ignitus, the new chronicler, reached out to Spyro in his dream state. At that point in time, Spyro had not known that Ignitus was the new Chronicler. He had thought that Ignitus was dead, and thus, thought he had died mysteriously.
"Ignitus? What in the name of the Ancestors just happened? Am I somehow dead?" Spyro asked of the former Fire Guardian.
"Not at all Spyro. You are very much alive. I just figured you might want a little help with your… dilemma." Ignitus answered. "Females can be difficult when more than one fall in love with the same male. In case you were wondering, I am the new Chronicler. I can speak to you from my study whenever I see fit."
It was at that point in time that Spyro took the time to look around at his surroundings. The place that he found himself in seemed like an ethereal version of what he imagined the old Temple's library must have looked like. Hundreds of bookshelves surrounded them, going as far as Spyro could see. They were in one corner of the massive library, and he noticed that Ignitus was sitting in a comfortable-looking leather chair. A small fireplace burned on one wall. Next to this fireplace sat a seeing pool similar to the one inside of the Temple that Spyro had completed his training at prior to freeing Cynder from Malefor's clutches.
"I'm going to give you some advice, Spyro. Females can be tricky. It is apparent to any outsider that both Cynder and Ember care for you deeply. Use that to your advantage. You would best be getting back to the two dragonesses that so deeply care for you." With that, Ignitus procured a small vial of powder that he immediately sprinkled a pinch of into the seeing pool.
And with that I present chapter one of my new fanfic. I hope you guys enjoyed. Please R&R, it would be GREATLY appreciated. Who will Spyro pick? Find out in the next chapter of Spyro: The Ambiance of Love.
