Spyro's Legacy I: One Life to Live
Chapter 3
Adolescent Naiveté
"I thought you said that there would be fighting." complained on of the young-lings in the back of the small group of about twenty.
Spyro and Cynder shook their heads. "If all you guys want to do is fight, that's al..." Spyro started but then tailed off realizing what he was about to say. The impact of time had taken hold of Spyro. Death had taken grip of all of the Guardians that had been prior to the Night of Eternal Darkness. Volteer, Cyril, and Terrador had slowly been replaced by Adar, Nafe, and Welgor.
The new generations each came and with each hundred year cycle of birth they would came a century and a generation closer to the appearance of the new purple dragon. Another ordinary dragon harnessed by the dark side of the emotional spectrum.
The Shadow's grew longer. More banishment's, more crime, more punishment, more everything.
The celestial moons edging ever closer to the opposite sides of the planet meant that the time between the nights of Eternal Darkness neared their midpoint. Not within Spyro's life time would another one of those come but still darkness came over the land like a sickness. Spyro had been considering to quit teaching the young-lings to harness dark energy but the former Chronicler's words still had great power over him.
The brutal image of the millions of dead on that field of broken dreams. Those in front of him even surely were in that picture some where. Himself and Cynder also. Not one thing, not one dragon depended upon this but rather all of them.
Cynder quickly sensed his state and put him under her wing. Nothing else was needed. He returned to his task.
"I'm sorry." He said.
The group raised their heads to him. "Please continue." said one in the front.
Spyro acknowledged and did just that.

That next morning I awoke to Cynder shrieking "Wake-up!"
I sprung onto my feet and immedietly saw the problem.
My mouth dropped and my heart rate sprung forward. My mind froze from the shock even as it drew ever in towards us.
Well you had to know I was going to do that sooner or later! In any case please review and let me know if you see any problems...
