Chapter 2: Heading out

It was early in the morning, the first few rays of sunlight hit Warfang walls. In the middle of the city was the sacred Temple, were the Guardians resided. Inside the halls was a young purple dragon walking towards the Guardians chambers, where the elders were waiting for him. Spyro was a bit annoyed of having to wake up so early to talk to the Guardians, today was supposed to be his relaxing day no more training, no more duties, but it seemed that the Guardians had other plans for him. Spyro missed the days when he and Cynder arrived at Warfang; they were praised for their great deeds and were allowed to relax. Spyro sighed, that was three weeks ago and now it seemed that his duty as a purple dragon was coming back.

Spyro opened the double doors that led into the Guardians chambers, revealing three dragons sitting in their respected pedestals. A green dragon looked up him.

"Ah glad to see you make on time Spyro." Terrador greeted the purple dragon.

"Yes I thought you would end up sleeping in." added Volteer.

Spyro looked at Cyril awaiting a comment from him but he just nodded at him. Spyro sat on his haunches looking up at the Guardians. "So what do you need me for?" Spyro asked simply.

Terrador smiled, noticing the annoyed tone Spyro just showed, he too would have been mad if he was supposed to wake up early. "Well young dragon, as you notice Ignitus is not with us," Terrador paused for a second as the whole room became silent, he sighed and continued, "And there is no fire Guardian, we need to recruit someone to take up that role, luckily now with the war over, more dragons started to show up, and a clan of fire dragon have already sent a messenger here saying that they would soon be moving into Warfang."

Spyro looked at Terrador with a confused face, "That's great, but what does that have to do with the Fire Guardian and me?"

"It means that now we have a candidate requesting to become the next Fire Guardian, and you have to go and escort the dragon back here." Cyril stated.

Spyro nodded, "And when to I depart?" asked Spyro

"When you ready, but we would like you leave before the end of the week." Volteer added.

"Alright then, I guess I'll leave today, I want to get this over with." Spyro said standing up.

"Excellent choice young dragon" Terrador said as he walked up to Spyro and handed him a paper. Spyro looked at the paper, it appeared to be a map and it highlighted a village that was over on the other side of a mountain in Avalar.

"Ah Terrador, how do we know that they are located here? For all we know they could have moved since the war has ended." Spyro asked confused a bit.

Terrador smiled at Spyro happy to know that the young dragon knew how to use that head of his, "Well that map you are holding there was brought in by one of the clan's members, a messenger, mainly to establish a trading route from their village to Warfang." Terrador answered. "Also we commented that we were in need of a Fire Guardian, and them, a clan of Fire Dragons, agreed to help us in that cause by providing us with a candidate." Terrador finished.

Spyro nodded, "Then I shall be on my way then." Spyro waved goodbye to the Guardians and left. Spyro was about to leave the Temple when an idea came up, 'Maybe Cynder would like to come, I haven't been able to spend time with her so now is a good chance.' Spyro thought as he headed back towards Cynder's room. In fact Spyro hadn't seen Cynder for five days since he was always training with the Guardians.

Cynder was in her room reading her book, she hadn't left her room for a couple of days, except to go eat or take fresh air and fly. She was in thought as to why Spyro has not come to visit her, she did confess her felling for him but surely he didn't hear. Her thoughts were interrupted as she heard a knock from her door.

"Come in" Cynder beckoned, wondering who might want to see her.

Spyro came in and noticed Cynder on her bed reading a book, he looked around to see her room was very clean; he looked back at the dragoness who looked up.

"Spyro it's you!" Cynder set her book down and leaped of her bed and tackled Spyro giving him a big hug. "Spyro were you been, I am here stuck in my room all bored and finally you show up"

Spyro relished the contact between them, "Sorry Cynder, I know I've been gone for a while training with the Guardians, and now they want me to do this errand, and I was wondering, well since um we haven't spend much time… together, would you like to come with me?" Spyro asked nervously.

Cynder smiled and gave him a tighter hug, she loved being with him, especially this close, she would take any opportunity she was given to get as close as possible. "Of course I would, I would love to come with you, when do we leave?" Cynder asked breaking the hug.

Spyro looked out the door and walked out "Now." Cynder nodded and walked out closing the door behind her.

The mysterious black dragon was hidden in the trees just outside of Warfang's walls, studying the city and its inhabitants, "Hmm, it seems real peaceful in there, no one seemed to attack the Purple Dragon but why, I was summoned to kill him if ever the purple dragon was corrupted, so why is the dragon not being attacked or show any sign of evil?" the black dragon pondered all this, he had been in out there for one hour observing the city. Suddenly he saw two dragons fly out of the city one being purple.

The dragon smiled, "Time to get this done."
