A/N: I know that in the final chapter of "Eclipse of Darkness" I said I would take a break, but I have yet to manage to hold to such a promise so here is the first chapter of "Inferno and Cynder: Peace in Darkness"
Spyro, Inferno, and Cynder where at the Warfang gates, waiting for the guardians to open them. After a few minutes Terrador opened the gates. "Hello again you three, but where's Ignitus?" asked Terrador. "He sacrificed his life to get us into the belt." Spyro said. "Oh... We will hold a celebration to honor his death and to congratulate you three on your success." Terrador said. "How hard was it to kill your father?" asked Cyril. "Dad was evil so it wasn't that hard." Inferno said as they walked into the city. Thousands of dragons ran up to Spyro, praising him for defeating Malefor, but none seemed to notice Inferno and Cynder. "What are they doing here?" asked an ice dragon as he spotted Inferno and Cynder. "They are my friends and I wouldn't have succeeded if it weren't for them." Spyro said. "And just why is that?" asked an ice dragoness, clearly the ice dragon's sister. "I would rather not speak of it." Spyro said. "They both deserve to die after what they did to mom." the ice dragoness said. "Sorry to say this, but we aren't offended by your comments." Inferno said, he was lieing.
Inferno and Cynder where looking around, trying to ignore all the hateful things that where being said about them, when they spotted a dragoness that had covered her body and maw with her wings. "Should we?" asked Inferno, looking over to Cynder. "Yes." Cynder said as they walked up to the dragoness. When Inferno and Cynder approached the dragoness, their instincts screamed at them to run, but they weren't listening. "Hello." Inferno said as he and Cynder sat down, noticing that the crowd seemed to avoid the dragoness. "H-Hi." the dragoness said. "What's your name?" asked Cynder. "Velti." Velti said. "Why are you covering your self like that?" asked Inferno. Velti thought for a while before looking around to ensure no one would hear her other than them. "Promise not to run." Velti said, Inferno could tell that she was only ten. "Promise." Inferno said. Velti uncovered her body and maw. Velti had black scales with red markings around her body and a blood-red underbelly, blood-red wing membranes, four blood-red horns that all curved down from either the side or top of her head, her tail blade red blood-red with two holes on each side, and she had fangs. "You're a blood dragoness." Inferno said, that had explained their instincts to run as blood-dragons where often consider pure evil, but Inferno and Cynder knew evil and Velti wasn't evil. "Yea... I guess this is where you run away." Velti said. "Velti we have killed millions, destroyed many villages, been on the side of evil, and killed our father, Malefor, no amount of instinct in the world could make us run." Inferno said. "You're the Terror of the skies and The Darkend Dragon." Velti said in surprise. "Yea that's us." Inferno said. "I'm Cynder and this is Inferno." Cynder said. Oh sorry I didn't know your real names." Velti said.
"Wow I'm sorry to hear that." Velti said after hearing Inferno and Cynder's story. "Yea it was terrible." Inferno said. "Even killing thousands is better than being feared for your element." Velti said. "Please Velti, though they would never admit it, most dragons actually wish that they where blood dragons." Inferno said. "Really?" asked Velti. "Cause it sucks as I can normally only make friends with the same element." Velti said. "Yea, but the power of blood dragons makes up for that." Cynder said as they all left for the guardian's building.
Inferno, Cynder, and Velti walked into the chamber and where greeted with Spyro fleeing for a second. "Why did I just do that?" asked Spyro. "Her." Inferno said as he pointed to Velti. "Oh a blood dragoness." Spyro said. "Terrador do you think that you can give Velti here a room close to ours?" asked Inferno, he had learned that Velti's parents where dead. "I can try, but don't expect many visitors." Terrador said. "Well that's just a bonus." Inferno said. "Yea with how most of those dragons are I would rather not have visitors." Cynder said. "Then I will get you three a room." Terrador said.
Later on Velti was setting up a few things in her room when Inferno and Cynder walked in. "Hey Velti we where wondering... how much of it is true." Inferno said. Velti knew that they where talking about the stories about blood dragons. "Well we don't feed on blood to survive, we just like the taste of it. We don't hunt our prey, we usually just request blood. Though I did know a blood dragon that let these stories go to his head so for him all that is true." Velti said. "I know that you are both just going to say no, but blood dragons do have a slight thirst for blood a-" Velti said before she was cut off by Inferno putting his paw out. "I can't die and if you want a little blood I don't see a problem with it." Inferno said. "I really don't like to." Velti said. "I know, but we all have our thirsts and it is never quenched until we satisfy them." Inferno said. "I'd rather not drink it from you." Velti said. "If you want I can put it in a bowl." Inferno said. "I guess... just... not too much." Velti said. "I understand." Inferno said as he grabbed a small bowl, cut his paw, and let a little bit of the blood drip in the bowl. "Thanks." velti said after finishing the blood. "Why didn't you want a lot of it?" asked Inferno. "Because too much blood would cause me to go crazy." Velti said. "I can see your point." Cynder said. "Well good-night Velti." Inferno said. "Good-night, but why did you help me?" asked Velti. "Because that's what friends are for." Inferno said. After that they all went to bed.
A/N: Hope you like it, I think I'll just let you guess at what the facts of this universe are as the story continues.
