"Cynder!" Spyro exclaimed jolting awake. He looked around and saw that he was back in his house lying in the white basket. Lyreice was sitting next to him, smiling.
"You just meet the cat and you're already dreaming about her." She meowed curling her tail around her paws in amusement. "It must be cat love."
"Where is she?" Spyro asked getting to his paws.
"If you mean Cynder she left saying something about needing to find her father, whatever that is." Lyreice meowed.
"Oh. What else did she say?" Spyro asked.
"Just some nonsense about you blowing fire and saving her from some strange cats." Lyreice explained. "Obviously she was disoriented from you squishing her."
"What do you mean I squished her?" Spyro asked not remembering squishing anybody.
"Well that's a long story and mom told me to tell her the moment you woke up." She explained. "The only reason she's not here right now is because Leo 'fell' down the stairs."
"Do you mean…"
"Finish that question and I'll count you as my accomplice." Lyreice meowed.
"At least tell me how I got back in the house." Spyro sighed.
"That's easy." Lyreice purred. "Your girlfriend jumped the wall."
"I mean it Lyreice." Spyro meowed.
"So do I." Lyreice meowed jumping out of the basket.
"How could she jump the wall?" Spyro asked jumping out of the basket and following Lyreice.
"I don't know how she did it I just saw her." Lyreice meowed walking toward the house's main entrance and the stairway.
"So you really pushed Leo down the stairs?" Spyro asked.
"Now you're my accomplice." Lyreice meowed. "Mom needed something to focus her worries on, so I just gave her something."
When they reached the stars Lyreice kept on walking and Spyro couldn't see Leo or their mother anywhere. "I thought you said you pushed him down the stairs." Spyro meowed.
"I never said I pushed him down anything." Lyreice meowed. "And besides these aren't the only stairs in the house."
"You pushed him into the basement?" Spyro exclaimed. "But Leo hates the basement."
"I know, it's great, the only problem is that I'm going to be in so much trouble."
"What if he really got hurt?"
"That would be even better." Lyreice meowed, a sparkle in her eye.
"There's something wrong with you." Spyro sighed.
"Finally someone gets it." Lyreice meowed as they reached an open door that lead to the basement.
"I'm going to have a vary long talk with your sister about this." Meowed a voice coming up the stairs.
"Why bother, she won't listen." Another voice meowed.
"Hey Isis, Spyro's awake." Lyreice meowed.
"Who's Isis?" Spyro asked.
"Mom told Cynder that was her name.
"But you, young lady, will still call me mom." Isis meowed reaching the top of the stairs. Leo, close behind her, was glaring at Lyreice.
"But Isis sounds so much prettier than mom." Lyreice meowed.
"Tell you what; if you promise to never pick on your brothers again you can call me Isis." Isis proposed.
Lyreice seemed to be thinking it over. "Not worth it." She meowed after a while.
"And here I was hoping for some peace." Isis sighed. "Where's Cynder?"
"She left." Lyreice meowed rolling her eyes. "She said something about her father, what is a father anyways?"
"That's not important." Isis meowed. "Lyreice I want you to help Leo back to the basket."
"But mom." Both Lyreice and Leo meowed.
"Now." Isis meowed in her serious tone.
"Fine." Lyreice sighed. "Come on." She meowed, leading Leo out of the room.
"Alright Spyro, why were you outside on your own, and on the other side of the wall no less?" Isis asked turning to Spyro.
"I just felt like exploring." Spyro meowed not looking her in the eyes.
"Spyro I'm your mother, and I can tell when you're lying to me." Isis sighed. "So please tell me the truth."
"I can't." Spyro meowed. He hated doing this to his mom but something told him it was still not the right time.
"Yes you can, you just choose not to." Isis meowed. Spyro stayed silent. "Alright if it's so important I won't ask I'll just wait till you're ready to tell me." Spyro looked up to see that Isis was smiling. "I trust you'll do the right thing when the time comes."
"What does that mean?" Spyro asked.
"You'll understand later." Isis meowed turning around and walking toward the living room.
"OH mom, I have one more question." Spyro meowed. Isis looked back. "Where's my father?"
"Just like you, I feel that's a secret you're not ready for." Isis meowed leaving the room.
