Me and Cynder awoke and found that Spyro had caught us some food. "Thanks Spyro and I see that you're a great hunter but where is Sparx." I said. "Still asleep and that is one reason that I went out to kill something." said Spyro. We didn't answer him because we were eating the dear Spyro had brought us. "I guess everyone's favorite purple dragon also brought you two some food." said Breeze, as she walked in. "Yea he did." Cynder said. "I seem to have found the book thief's." Breeze said jokingly, she didn't care. "Also might I asked why you went out and caught a full dear for everyone." said Breeze. "I really don't wish to speak about that so I would rather not." said Spyro. "All right but might I suggest reading this book next." Breeze said as she handed us a book about the strength of wind and battle tactics of it. "I guess we're not the only one here that like to take books from the library." I said, I knew she took it because the library had been closed off after a ceiling colabsed and sealed the entry ways so we had to teleport. "Wait how did you get into the library as that places has been sealed?" I asked. "There is a secret entry way that I found one day after exploring the temple and the other guardians don't know about it." Breeze said. "If you are willing we would like to learn a bit more about you." me and Cynder said in unison. "Ok I will answer a few questions but others I would rather not." Breeze said. "What made you decide to become a guardian?" I asked. "It was something that my daughter always wanted to be and so I decided to pursue her dream after she died." said Breeze. "What was your daughter's name?" Cynder asked. "Aira." answered Breeze. "How much destruction did I cause when I destroyed everything?" asked me and Cynder's mother as she walked in. "All I can say is, A lot." said breeze as we started heading for the training room, this time mom following us. After we got to the training room I sat down and focused, to most I looked like I was just staring but Cynder knew the look in my eyes and knew what I was doing. The area around me changed in a blue wave and I found myself standing between two guardians and watching a purple dragon train, it wasn't Spyro. The dragon jumped in the air and did an earth pound to take out most of the advancing dummies, I took note that the training room looked a lot newer. The purple dragon suddenly said "Masters may I try an earth furry now?" to that the guardians around him nodded but before he could two ice dragons ran in. "Malefor when you're done with training do you wish to come play with us." they said as a darkness dragoness and an ice dragoness came in. "I will in a minute Shard, Glacia, Obsidian, and Amber." dad said, at the mention of those names I turned to examine the four dragons. Shard had light blue scales with a red underbelly, red horns and wing membranes, two horns that came out the side of his head and then curved back at a forty-five degree angle, and he had five red spikes on each side of his tail. Glacia looked about the same but her tail blade had an icicle shape on the end with only four spikes on each side of her tail, I knew that she was Glacia because of the similarities in her and the only other male beside dad, Shard. Mom looked like Cynder, as they where all twelve, She had mid-night black scales with a magenta underbelly, magenta wing membranes, horns that looked exactly like me and Cynder's, and her wing and tail blades where the same shape as Cynder's but without the holes in them. Amber had light blue scales with a silver underbelly, silver wing membranes, three silver horns that were arranged similar to dad's, and a silver three prong tail blade with each prong in the shape of an icicle. I heard the sound of pulsing earth and looked behind me to find that dad was performing the strongest of earth furries. "Wow Mal I didn't know that you where strong enough to perform that on your first try." mom said, it was clear that she loved him. "Obsidian I told you not to call me that in front of the guardians." complained dad. "Did you expect a tainted darkness dragoness to listen?" asked mom innocently. suddenly Shard lost the blue glow that surrounded my sight of the past and approached me. "You must be the next guardian of the purple dragon and I am happy to meet you in person." Shard said. "I didn't see this coming and I am glad to see the last guardian of the purple dragon." I said as I noticed that it was his spirit and his body was still locked in the timeline. "Yes and do you care to tell me about yourself. I know everything that has happened so I know that Malefor became evil and corrupted a few dragons." said Shard. "Well first lets start with my parent." I said. "And they are?" asked Shard. "Well you know how Malefor and Obsidian had an egg and it got trapped into a time crystal." I said. "Yea why." Shard said, confused. "Yea me and my twin sister Cynder where the ones in that egg." I said. "Wow I wonder how Obsidian and Malefor are taking that fact." Shard said. "Well mom recently broke free of her obsidian prison and was excited and dad won't find out until he escapes the Well of Souls on the night of eternal darkness." I said. "Oh well I hope that you fight with strength and have chosen the side of good." said Shard. "I do and have but I must leave soon as I am starting to feel the strain on my power." I said. "Well there is only one thing that I would like to show you first." said Shard before the scene before me and him turned and I found myself looking at dad playing with a ball. "How?" I asked. "I also wield time and though I am dead I still can manipulate time but just watch." Shard said. I looked over to dad, who was a hatch-ling at the time, and saw him jump onto the ball only to get launched over to a wall. "Wow that was funny and I will note that if I ever need to screw with dad then mention this." I said. "Good as that was exactly what I was looking for now good-bye" said Shard as I released my focus and the world came back to present. "Well Inferno what did you see or learn on your trip to the past?" asked Cynder. "Well I saw dad use the strongest earth furry on his first try. I saw Amber, dad, mom, Shard, and Glacia at the age of twelve. I learned that mom had a nickname for dad,Mal. I learned that Shard, even after death, can jump into my timeline and talk to me while I am at his time. And I saw dad get launched from a ball after jumping onto it so we have two things against him." I said. "Wow that must have been fun" Cynder said.
We had just finished reading all the books except the families of darkness book so we started read that one. The book had each chapter starting off with the markings of that darkness family. After looking through several we finally came to the one we where looking for, ours. I started looking through the family tree, the book was enchanted so that it could show the family tree at that time. There wasn't much as the book started from when our family first begun and quickly got to mom and dad then us. After we saw our family tree we started reading the description of our family.
This family started with a tainted darkness dragon and has always had tainted darkness dragons, never nontainted ones. The family is alway trained in a deadly are such as assassination or killing in general. This family is unique because of its different marking on the head compared to the other markings. WARNING: All darkness dragons born in this family will become evil so avoid them at all costs.
That last part froze me and Cynder. "Does that mean that we will become evil again?" asked Cynder fearfully. Calm down please as this book could be off and we may never become evil again. said Evil Cynder. Yea as the family tree didn't have a guardian of the purple dragon until us. said Evil Inferno. Wait are you two actually trying to calm us down as I thought you would have started screaming yes it does. I said, I could actually hear them shaking in fear and surprise at what they where just trying to do. I can't believe that we just said all that. said Evil Inferno and Evil Cynder in unison. After that we agreed to not take chances and head out of the temple.
We walked out of our room quietly and headed for the training room. When we got there we headed around dad's statue and into the guardians chamber. We snuck past all eleven of the guardians and outside where we headed straight through the large temple. "Inferno did you grab that book?" asked Cynder in a whisper. "Yea I did and it's right here." I whispered as I pointed to the bag around me and the book that was in it. After our quick chat we headed out of the temple and found a place with a few statues and a large clearing so we decided to relax and watch the moon for a bit. After a few minutes we heard foot steps and turned around in a fighting stance. "Wow you two need to loosen up." said Sparx. "Shut up little mosquito." I said as we relaxed. "Cynder and Inferno what are you two doing out here as it's dangerous outside of the temple at night." said Spyro. "Spyro you really shouldn't have followed us." said Cynder as I conversed with my evil self for something to say. What should I say Evil Inferno? I asked. Why talk to me just figure it out on your own. said Evil Inferno. "That is good enough to me so let's just go back to sleep." said Sparx, after that I angrily slammed him against a rock to shut him up. "Spyro don't make it harder for us than it already is at the moment." I said. "I'm just wanting to understand." said Spyro. "We're leaving Spyro." said Cynder. "We don't belong here after everything that we have and may do." I said as our twin chain appeared. "After all we have done to you and the guardians." said Cynder. "We just can't stay." I said. "Cynder and Inferno no one blames you two for what happened." said Spyro, though we where still leaving we did calm down. "Ha no one blames us have you listened to Volteer when he speaks to me." I said jokingly, though it was true. "Not really as that blabber mouth never shuts up." Spyro said happily, he clearly still knew we where going to leave but at least we weren't sad anymore. "I still blame you two for what happened." said Sparx. "Sparx shut up." said Spyro, after that I tail swiped Sparx over to a rock and knocked him out for the time. "Why didn't I think of that?" asked Spyro. "Actually Sparx is correct and every day that we am here we get reminded of it by Volteer, Evil Cynder, Evil Inferno, and dad when he uses dark magic to do so." said Cynder, I had to agree but we were keeping the truth from Spyro. "Spyro your home is here." I said, me and Cynder's chain appearing so that we could screw with him. "Your destiny is here." Cyner said. "But ours is somewhere out there." I said. "For us to find." said Cynder, we laughed a little at Spyro's confusion. "Cynder and Inferno I don't want you two to go beside Inferno your destiny is here as it is to guard me." said Spyro. "Guard you from what after all you already could best me in a battle besides we can always ignore our destiny and follow our own path." I said. "See you again eventually Spyro." me and Cynder said in unison as we turned to head off. "Well good-bye for now but with our luck we'll run into each other again." said Spyro, me and Cynder laughed and then we headed off.
We where approaching the Mountain of Malefor but that wasn't our destination. After a few minutes we found a cave that had no light in it at all but as darkness dragon we saw perfectly fine in the cave. After some walking we came to a small area that had signs of being created with darkfire and a darkness dragoness came out. "What brings you here my children?" asked mom.
A/N: I decided to stop at a slight cliffhanger but I hope you all liked this chapter. Why have they come here. What is in store for Inferno and Cynder in the near future. There some of my reader's go, what Inferno sees when looking into the past. Inferno had the last guardian of the purple dragon visit him and got to see his parents at his age. (As always post your theories of the questions in my A/N with in you review.) I have a small Easter egg in here but it will require some thinking to find. (post in your review what you think the Easter egg is)
