A/N: I don't own any Spyro characters used in this story. I only own Sappier, Soot and Amber.
Sappier smiled feeling the wind rush past her. She loved riding on Spyro's back.
"So what are you going to do?" she asked. "We need to stay by the Temple encase it's attacked again." Spyro replied. Sappier nodded as they landed.
Once Sappier was safely inside Spyro and Cynder left to protect the Temple.
Sappier wandered through the dim cave until she came to a clearing showing the whole clan was based inside a crater of a mountain, with the top of the mountain open to show the sky above.
"I'll never get tiered of seeing this." she commented.
"Welcome back Sappier." a grey dragoness with four grey horns two on each side of her face, lighter grey wings, tail tip, spikes and pale grey eyes said warmly.
Sappier smiled.
"Thank you Soot." she said.
"I know you're worried about your family Sappier, but you know as long as your parents watch over you they'll be safe." Soot explained.
Sappier nodded.
"Come, I'll show you around the whole clan this time." Soot smiled and took the young dragoness off.
Spyro and Cynder landed outside the Temple worried.
"I'm sure she'll be fine, after all Soot is the leader of the clan and is a powerfull dragoness." Cynder explained.
"I know but I still get to worry about her." Spyro said with a small smile.
The two returned to see most of the older students receiving instructions from Terrador, Volteer and Cyril.
"So what's the plan?" Spyro asked.
"We've sent word out to the cheeters and moles warning them to keep watch for any signs of the dark dragons." Terrador replied.
"Anything we can do?" Cynder asked.
"I want one of you to keep your eyes on Sappier's clan. With the clans powers they'll most likely become a target" Terrador explained.
"I'll go." Cynder volunteered.
"You sure?" Spyro asked.
"It's better for you to stay here Spyro. You'll be needed here." Cynder replied.
"Just be carefull." Spyro wanred.
"I will." Cynder smiled and flew back to the clan.
Spyro nodded and followed Terrador off to help.
"This Sappier is known as Uncava Falls." Soot explained as the two walked to a small waterfall.
"It's beautiful." Sappier said in awe.
"This is where most of the clans clean water comes from."
Sappier took a drink and smiled.
"It's nice water."
Soot smiled and sighed.
"Sappier, I owe you an apology. If I knew Amber's intentions I'd of kept you here while she was dealt with." she explained.
Sappier growled thinking of what the dragoness had done to her and Spyro.
"It's." she began, thinking about her reply.
"I know it's not ok. But know you're always safe here." Soot said understanding Sappier's reaction.
Sappier nodded.
"Now shall we wait for Cynder before we continue?" Soot asked seeing the adult dragon flying over.
Sappier nodded and smiled.
Cynder smiled and explained why she was there.
"It's good that she now has someone she can trust with her during this time." Soot smiled and took the two off to a small wooden hut by the stream.
"This will be your home for the time being." Soot explained.
Sappier opened the door and smiled.
"Soot, we can't thank you enough for your generosity." Cynder said.
"Don't thank me, this hut has more family value then it seems." Soot explained.
Sappier sniffed the air.
"This was my parents hut wasn't it?" she asked.
Soot nodded.
Sappier saw an old family photo and smiled.
"I'll let you both settle. But just to let you know tonight we are throwing a party to celibrate the founding of the clan. You're both more than welcome to join" Soot explained and left the two alone.
Cynder looked at Sappier worried.
"I'm fine Cynder, my parents watch over me and my sister." Sappier said with a smile.
Cynder smiled and nuzzled Sappier.
"Shall we meet the other dragons?" she asked.
Sappier nodded and followed Cynder off.
