I'm back with another chapter since people seemed to love my other one. This story was inspired by the two ending credits songs you can find at the end of the game, 'the eternal night' and 'dawn of the dragon'. Hope you enjoy.

Chapter 2: Reunion

Cynder's eyes fluttered open to be greeted by a blue sky spotted with white, fluffy clouds like foam on the ocean. Her memory was hazy as she got to her shaky legs from her spread-eagled position. Images flashed through Cynder's mind; rocks falling, lava rising, desperately flying. One image popped into her mind, a face, she remembered that face, it was a dragon, a purple one, and it meant a lot to her to be with them. She had to find him. Cynder surveyed her surroundings. She was on a hill overlooking a forest, the trees looking menacingly in the fading light, behind her were jagged mountains covered in snow. Cynder considered her options. She could go through the forest or over it. Flapping her wings, she set off over the forest. More memories came to her. The purple dragon had shouted something at her before quickly moving sideways. A rock had tumbled down and in a vain attempt, she had tried to dodge. The rock had hit her, possibly breaking bone, and she had fallen. Her wing that had been hit didn't seem to hurt anymore as she flew over the huge forest. Looking around, she couldn't see anything else. Wings getting tired, Cynder drifted closer to the forest. Soon she landed in the midst of the boles of the trees. The trees cast a eerie gloom as the sun descended on the horizon. Cynder decided to stop for the day as she could barely see a few metres in front. It was the darkest night she knew. No stars glittered in the sky, nor did any sound penetrate the night. It was like the whole forest was holdings it's breath. The wind stopped and the rivers all stopped flowing. She settled down to sleep.

A noise, faint but still a noise, woke Cynder from her restless slumber. Her eyes opened wide as she craned to hear the noise again. It was the sound of wings. She looked up to find the source of the sound. In the sky, a light flickered on and off as it went behind clouds. She thought for a second; it could be a enemy or a friend. Not many enemies would be able to defeat her anyway but it might be a ambush. Or, it could be a friend, one in particular, Spyro. She made up her mind and set off in pursuit. As she reached a close enough position, she did a risky move.

"Spyro!" Cynder called out at the moving light.

The fire, for it was apprenticeship it was now, stopped and flew back to her. As it drew nearer to the hovering Cynder, she could see the light reflect off spyro's purple scales. As if seeing him had somehow awoken a memory in her, she suddenly remembered everything that had happened to her. From fighting him, to befriending him, to finally loving him. She remembered the fight with Malefor and after defeating him, Spyro fixing the world before they had both attempted to fly out of the volcano. She remembered the pain as the rock had hit her, Spyro's futile attempt at flying them both out. She remembered the whispered words as he had held her close, plummeting into the lava that boiled below. Spyro collided into her, wings wrapping around her.

"I thought I would never see you again," Spyro fiercely whispered.

As gravity took affect, tears of joy at being reunited with Spyro rolled down her face.

"And I never thought I would ever see you either."

The couple pulled apart before they hit the ground. Then slowly descended to rest on the ground. Spyro wrapped a wing around her as Cynder started to lie down. Cynder finally felt like everything was going to be alright, she finally felt fell asleep again as Spyro's tail wound around her protectively. Even after Cynder had fallen asleep; Spyro stayed long into the night, letting his thoughts run wild in his head.

If anyone has ideas or feedback, then it will be greatly appreciated.
