CHAPTER 1
Spyro and Cynder lay quietly on a hill overlooking a large field, looking as the moon's rays drenched the land around them. They were content, happy, and most of all, done. They had defeated Malefor and had gotten the chain removed from them, but they had stayed together. At the moment, Spyro had been contemplating everything that had happened over the years, from meeting Cynder (the real Cynder, not the corrupted Cynder), to discovering his feelings for her, to meeting the chronicler, to defeating the Dark Master. He simply let the hours pass, thinking about everything.
It had been a year since all of… everything... had passed, and Spyro and Cynder had spent every moment together. All of there triumphs and failures meant nothing now. They had found peace. They had found togetherness, they had found simplicity, they were happy.
No one from the dragon temple had contacted them, but they figured that they would find a way to contact them if anything had arose. They spent the days talking and just relaxing. Spyro looked at Cynder, and noticed all the changes that she had gone through since they had first met. Her horns and crest were slightly longer and her body, though still slim, was finely toned. Her face was no longer slim and pointed as it was when they had fought each other so long ago, but had rounded out. Her claws were not as wicked looking, but still had a wicked sheen to them, as spyro had found out on many an occasion in play fights and duels. Her obsidian scales were gleaming in the sunlight, and her ruby belly scales had a dull shine to them and contrasted her black scales in such a way that it all seemed to fit. Her emerald eyes were closed, and her chest was rising and falling in a rhythmic pattern, suggesting that she was asleep. He looked at her, with a hint of passion in his eyes. He liked her, no, loved her, but was afraid. What if she didn't love him back? He decided not to mention anything about it. Even though he could have sworn that he had herd her whisper something, right before he had put the world back together, there was the possibility that he was imagining it, or something else, who knows. He put the thought into the back of his mind, as he simply fell asleep.
A small while later, Spyro and Cynder both woke up, but realized that they were not in the plains that they had fallen asleep in. they were in the temple. They looked around wildly as they tried to regain their bearings. They heard a friendly voice come from behind them, and then the source of the voice chuckled as spyro and cynder both jumped.
"Ahh, Spyro! Cynder! So good to see you again!" the voice happily boomed.
Spyro and Cnder whipped around and saw Ignitus, but he was different. He looked almost like the chronicler, but still retained his facial features. But he wasn't the only one there. There was a slim humanoid figure, she appeared to be female, and had almost royal looking cloth armor, but at the same time looked savage. A large black shadow like thing was floating next to its master. It was a deep blue color with very broad shoulders, and a shapeless blob protruding from the area where its head was supposed to be, Its two colorless spheres for eyes darted around when a sudden movemnt occured.
"Ignitus! It's been so long since we saw you last!" the teen dragons yelled as they tackled ignitus, laughing with them as he brought himself up.
"Yes, yes, it's very good to see the both of you as well, how have May protégés been doing?" ignitus asked, happy to see the both of them again.
"Umm, ignitus? Who is this?" Spyro said, cautious around the new shady figure, while pulling cynder closer to him. Cynder looked at spyro, a small blush coming across her face
"Ahh, I'm glad you asked, you see, this is an ambassador from our ancestral homelands, her name is Saphigosa." Ignitus said as he moved away, allowing the stranger to introduce herself. Saphigosa's azure eyes darted back and forth, nervously bowed, and shuffled behind ignitus, her blue…thingy silently followed.
"What's wrong with her?" cynder said, moving a little closer to the girl. "She seems scared."
"Well I would expect her to be, this is her first time doing anything to help the Accord." Ignitus said, using his tail to push the girl into sight again.
"The accord?" spyro asked, confusion on his teenaged eyes. "What's the accord?"
Ignitus materialized a thick iron bound tome, and flipped through the pages, until he put his paw on a page and read aloud to the 2 dragons.
"The Wyrmrest Accord is the joined forces of all of the noble dragon species, originally sought to bring an end to the militaristic crusade of the azure dragonflight, but later decided upon a definite cease fire, and eventually allowed the azure drakes passage into the Accord. They are stationed at the Wyrmrest Temple, lead by the mighty aspect of the red dragonflight, Alexstrasza the life-binder."
After Ignitus was done, Spyro looked over at Saphigosa, and saw that she was staring at the floor, almost embarrassed to be at the temple.
"Saphigosa was it?" the girl nodded. 'Why are you here?" Spyro asked a little blunt with his question. She looked up at him, and connected eyes. She stared into his eyes for a few seconds, made a nervous squeak and hid behind ignitus again, who simply chuckled at the girl.
"She is here, to take you and cynder to the wyrmrest temple." Ignitus said, pausing to let what he said sink into the two dragon's heads. "What?! Why!" the black and purple dragons stammered.
"Because, it has come to my attention that you have become, well, rusty, in your elemental powers, and after some consoling with the other elders, we have decided to send you to the hands of the Wyrmrest Accord for improving your grasp over the elements." Ignitus retorted to the young dragons, smiling at the look on there faces.
"Rusty?! Says who?!" Spyro yelled at him, obviously angry with the fact that ignitus had waited so long to say anything.
"Says the elders, you can fight their words, but it probably won't do much good." Ignitus replied
"Well I choose to fight it!" spyro nearly shouted at ignitus, but quickly backed down at the look that ignitus gave him. "I'm sorry, Ignitus, it's just that, I thought that we were done! Ya know? Over! The dark master is gone, forever!" spyro said, holding cynder tightly with his wing, evoking another blush from her.
"I know what you mean, spyro, but you must understand that the threat is never over, and you have to be prepared for the worst should the worst ever arise." Ignitus sympathetically said to the two of them. "Do you still choose to fight the council's decision?"
Spyro sighed, and shook his head, while cynder nudged his shoulder with her head, making it his turn to blush. Ignitus looked back and forth and smiled at the two of them, a knowing look in his eyes.
"Well, I believe its time for the two of you to be on your way, I must admit though, when you arrive, you will be a little "out of it", so Saphigosa will escort you two to the temple, ok?" Ignitus said, a little worried for both of their safety, but confident in the warlock's abilities.
"Ok, but how will we be getting there?" Cynder asked, wondering how far away this place was.
"You will be taking a portal there, which is where saphigosa comes into the story, she will provide the portal." Ignitus said, gesturing to the girl who was hiding behind him. She looked up into Ignitus' large friendly eyes and nodded, stepping out into the open, her blobby shadow following her. She spread her legs, faced the three dragons, and positioned her hands above each other. Suddenly, her hands began to glow with a dark energy, and out of no where, a large portal made of the same energy appeared. Saphigosa turned to Ignitus, bowed deeply, and stepped through the portal. Ignitus then turned to the two dragons.
"I'm sorry that our reunion was cut short, but I will be in touch, trust me." He said, his eyes holding a sudden sorrow that the two couldn't explain.
"Ignitus, how long will we be there?" Cynder asked, seeing if she could get to the bottom of the sorrow in his eyes.
"Oh, about two years, three maximum." He said, eyes getting even sadder then before.
Normally, Spyro would have had a slight outburst about the length of the stay, but he to saw the sorrow in Ignitus' eyes.
"Ignitus, why so sad? Ha-ha, your not getting soft on us, are you?" spyro asked, a little worried about the look.
"nothing, nothing, now you two should be on your way, before the portal closes, and good luck to the two of you." He solemnly said as the two walked into the portal.
After the two had vanished into the portal, the other three elders stepped out of the shadows, and walked over to ignitus.
"Don't worry, Ignitus, the two of them will be fine, not many things were stronger then the dark master, I doubt that they will find many problems in Dragonblight." Terrador said, looking at the portal as it dispersed back to the shadows.
"It's not Dragonblight I'm worried about, its what's lurking in the distance." Ignitus said, a contemplative thought covered his face.
"Oh ya? What's got you so riled up?" Cyril asked.
"It's Icecrown, often regarded as 'the seat of the king'".
"It does not sound as excruciatingly deadly as you previously implied, ignitus." Volteer said
"It's not the name of the place, it's who resides there" Ignitus replied looking at the sky.
"Damn it ignitus! Out with it! What's so bad about this place?!" Terrador said, frustrated with the odd answers that ignitus was giving them.
"It's the lich king, Arthas Menethil."
