'Where I am…?' Thought Spyro as he walked down the endless dark hallways of the dragon temple, he headed towards the pool of visions only to come to the most horrific site he has ever seen. There they were Volteer and Cyril both lying on the floor motionless with hard rock spikes shoved through their foreheads. 'Oh my goodness…. WHAT IS THIS… W-WHAT'S HAPPENING'. Spyro frantically ran towards the guardians and had to swallow deep as not to regurgitate the food in his stomach. "CYRIL, VOLTEER! WHAT HAPPENED?" He shouted as he came to a stop in front of the two Guardians.

"W-why would you do this?... Why have you become evil…?" He heard a voice that he could only recognize as Terrador, he looked on the opposite side of the pool of visions only in time to see a mighty Dragon shove a spike right into Terradors forehead, his body hit the floor limply instantly being lifeless.

He chocked back the tears as he saw his comrade fall in battle. "WHO ARE YOU, YOU MONSTER!" Spyro shouted angrily, baring his fangs at the evil Dragon in front of him, but the dragon acted as if Spyro did not even exist and turned to walk down the hallway towards Spyros room.

"WAIT I'M TALKING TO YOU!" Spyro tackled the evil Dragon only to phase right through him. 'W-what was that… I cant touch him?..' he questioned himself as he tried to attack again only to fail a second time.

The Mighty evil Dragon turned into Spyros room and walked up to the wall, "Ah, my most prized possession…" The evil dragon spoke in a chuckle.

"W-why….?" Was her only reply as she was pinned to the wall by sharp spear-like rocks.

As soon as Spyro turned the corner he froze and screamed. "NOOOOOOOOO!" He shot his body up trembling and covered in beads of sweat as he looked around his room, only to realize it was all a terrible nightmare.

The black Dragoness that lie next to him slowly stirred and opened her eyes as she heard Spyros devastating scream. "Spyro, what happened?..." She shook him softly with her right fore-paw.

"I-it was just a bad dream… that's all, nothing to worry about" Spyro half-lied through his teeth, yes it was a dream, but this dream had Spyro worried more than he had ever worried in his life.

"Do you want to talk about it?" She asked in a concerned tone as she slowly got up on all four of her legs and stretched.

"No no… its okay Cynder, trust me I'm fine." He said as he put on a fake smile to not get her to worry too much about himself. She bought it but not fully, she decided not to press on the matter anymore.

"Oh…okay, well… as long as you're feeling okay… I'm kind of hungry, want to go hunting Spyro?" She asked in a playful tone, slowly wagging her tail back and forth.

"Well I guess so, but I'm not really hun-"he was interrupted by the growl of his own stomach. "Hehe … Lets get going then." He said as he jumped off the bed.

"Looks like somebody is starving!" She teased playfully before also jumping off of the bed and heading towards the door slowly.

The purple Dragon followed her out of the door and walked down the hallway and towards the temples doors that lead outside, but just before they reached the doors Volteer stood in their way wanting to engage in conversation.

"Hello there boy." Volteer spoke up, not wanting them to pass until he had told them what he needed to say. "Spyro we still have to discuss the "Bad" News that we did not get a chance to talk about yesterday, after that little outburst you had". Volteer looked at Spyro with a slightly saddened expression.

"I know, I'm sorry Volteer I just lost control…. I promise it won't happen again, and can we talk about the bad news a little later today? Me and Cynder are going hunting for food, since we haven't eaten since yesterday after sunrise." He looked down slightly ashamed at how badly his outburst really was yesterday.

"Hmmmm… okay be here by sundown, this time please be punctual do you understand young Dragon?" Volteer said sternly. They both nodded in agreement and headed out the door.

"I've never really seen Volteer that serious before…" Cynder said as she walked beside Spyro towards the gates of Warfang. Slightly worried as to why Volteer was acting like he did.

"Yeah I know.. it's without a doubt… Odd" Spyro Confirmed quite unsure what to think about the yellow dragons behavior. "He's normally so talkative and happy; it's not like him to be so stern and down." Said the purple Dragon as they both took off into the sky and headed towards the woods that were right outside the city of Warfang. Feeling the warm sun shine against both their scales as they flew through the sky.

They both landed right in the middle of the forest, slowly wandering through it trying to spot any prey they could find for lunch.

"How about some sheep?" Cynder asked excitedly as her mouth began to water. Spyro turned to look at her and nodded his head. "Sure that sounds tasty!" He exclaimed, as they both continues to walk through the forest they spotted two sheep completely unaware of the two dragons lurking nearby.

Spyro jumped up into the ear and emitted two zaps of electricity from his maw to stun the two sheep while Cynder used her shadow powers to go underground and slice the sheep into 3 pieces each. The three pieces landed on the grass and Spyro used his fire element to burn the wool of the sheep and slowly roast them as well.

"That was a success." Cynder said as she giggle softly and started to chew on her sheep slowly chowing down and quenching her hunger.

"Yeah it was!" Spyro practically shouted as he completely devoured his sheep not even wanting to savor the flavor and just trying to get the food down to his stomach.

The black dragoness emitted a small laugh as she watched Her Purple companion Devour his food "Slow down Spyro you don't want to choke on your food now do you?" She asked as she covered her teeth with her paw trying to hold back more giggles.

They continued to eat in peace and after they were done they headed back towards the temple slowly, enjoying the flight there as the cool air breeze brushed along their scales. They looked to the right to see the sun start setting and sped up trying not to be late again.

"Hey Cynder…?" Spyro said barely above a whisper. As she turned to look at him

"Yeah what is it Purple boy?" She answered in a playful tone as she circled around him slowly, her scales shining as the sun hit them perfectly.

Spyro was in awe just staring at her once more. 'Wow…. She is beautiful…' he thought as he just remember the question he wanted to ask her. "Oh… C-Cynder would you like to… g-go out with me t-tomorrow to the shops inside the city?" He stuttered, very nervous and slightly blushing.

She turned to look at him slightly confused by his question. "Uhhh… Spyro don't we spend every day together? Why would this be any different?" She asked as they landed right in front of the temple.

He blushed even more now that he had to explain what he had meant. "Err… I meant like go out… as in like a-a-a d-date?..." He looked down very embarrassed. Gulping as he nervously awaited an answer from her.

She nudged him softly with her muzzle to bring his attention to her, smiling as she said. "I'd Love to Spyro" She hugged him softly and he let out a sigh of relief, holding in his excitement as not to shout out of happiness. 'YES!' He thought as they both entered the temple right on time.

They both stood in front of Terrador who said. "Spyro we need to talk to you alone about this?" Spyro nodded and escorted Cynder to his room, and led her to his bed. "I'll be right back Cynder, okay?" She nodded slightly worried about why she has been left out of the conversation. "Okay Spyro… but can you tell me what they were talking about once they're done…?" He just nodded and nuzzled her softly. "Of course I will Cynder… Don't you worry…" He said trying to calm her nerves down.

She sighed happily as he nuzzled her and smiled brightly "Okay… I will wait for you" She whispered and laid down to close her eyes slowly. He left her and went to meet the guardians at the pool of visions.

"Spyro we have a very important matter to discuss" Said Cyril as he saw Spyro enter the pool of visions. Spyro nodded and waited for them to explain what has them on edge so much the past few days.

"Spyro we don't exactly know what it is but we fear that there is something dark that looms here, we had a vision in the pool of visions and it was of a new evil Dragon emerging from the shadows one almost as fearful as Malefor… There is only one Dragon we know that is like that Spyro" Terrador said as he slowly looked down to avert his gaze from the Purple Dragon, ashamed to even think of the Dragon who it could possibly be.

Spyro clenched his claws in the ground and felt his muscles tense up. 'There's only one Dragon I know that's like this….' He thought but asked them just incase he might be wrong. "Who… is it?" He asked afraid of the answer he would receive.

They all looked down in shame when Terrador whispered the one name Spyro would never want to be mentioned in a conversation like this. "Cynder…."
