I have decided that I will postpone the HTTYD story since some of you haven't seen the third movie yet. Instead I will finish this one first before going to it. Even though I want to write a HTTYD story, I don't know what to write it about. I would welcome any suggestions and will give you credit if I use it, even partially.

Chapter 6: meeting

A cold breeze hit her as she stepped outside. The other dragoness had stopped and waited for Cynder.

"I've been told that you are the new general and that I must follow your orders as you will be second in command after our mistress."

"Wait, What? I'm the new general? Are you sure."

"Yes. Aurora gave us instructions to follow you."

This was better than she had thought, not just giving her extreme power, but she had also been given control over the army. A commotion started ahead and several lihzahrds ran towards it, swords in hand. At her word, one of them turned to look at her and told her that a couple of dragons must have got loose and were fighting some other lihzahrds. Curious , Cynder followed with them to the fight. The other dragoness behind her.

Something purple flew past her, a lihzahrd in its claws. Cynder's heart skipped a beat as Spyro stood up after dispatching his foe.

"Cynder," that one word, uttered in a low whisper sent tingles down her back.

The orange dragoness beside her growled and looked at the purple dragon, a deep rumbling emanating from her stomach.

"Stop, don't hurt him."

The growl stopped and the dragoness sat down, totally fine with the orders.

A feminine scream sounded from around the corner.

Spyro's gazing eyes blinked and he bounded back around. Cynder followed him and found him slash his tail across the last assailant who had struck another female dragon. The dragons blue scales guarding her left foreleg had been opened by a sword.

"Eira are you ok?"

Something snapped, maybe it was seeing Spyro help the other dragon onto her feet, or maybe it was the soft, gentle way he worried over her. Jealousy overwhelmed her and the dark aether thought for control again.

This time, her heart did not fight back.

Under the influence of the evil magic, Cynder whispered to the dragoness beside her.

"Kill them."

With a single leap, the dragon ran at the purple and blue dragons. Spyro turned and just managed to dodge a vicious swipe. He didn't dodge the tail that followed and was thrown off his feet. With a loud thump, Spyro landed a few feet from her.

Spyro looked up at her imploringly, "Cynder, what happened to you? what have they done?"

The orange dragon stalked towards the blue one, a tail swipe at the legs knocked her over. Eira lay helpless as a claw was raised for the killing blow.

"Cynder, this is not you, your scales aren't this dark."

Cynder looked at Spyro, her heart as hard a stone as the dark aether blocked her out of her body. Just before the orange dragoness could strike, she halted her.

"What they have done is make me stronger and leader of our invincible army. Soon we shall have hundreds of powerful dragonesses from the dark aether and we will reign supreme over this world."

"Dark aether, no this can't be happening. Cynder you have to snap out of it, it's evil and it's consuming you, making you do things you would usually hate."

Something pushed its way into her mind, the time when she had felt so guilty after meeting the shaman in the valley of avalar. How Spyro had comforted her afterwards. Spyro's eyes gazed at her, hoping that she would fight the dark aether. Then his eyes changed as the dark aether pushed away the thoughts. Too weak to resist, Cynder could only watch out of eyes she couldn't control.

"I don't hate to be a ruler."

Cynder told the orange dragon to go and finish Eira. With a desperate attempt, Eira managed to move just enough that the claws only grazed her underbelly. Eira roared in pain.

"No! Cynder I would never be able to hurt you, I don't know how you suddenly changed into a evil form but I still won't be able to hurt you."

As the claws went up again for the actual killing blow Spyro opened his maw and sent out a blast of aether, it hit the other dragoness in the side and sent her flying. In mid flight however, the scales turned lighter and what landed on the ground was not the same possessed dragon from before.

Roaring in frustration, Cynder leaped at the purple dragon on the ground, her tail striking his wing that had been raised in defence.

"Im sorry Cynder but I have to hurt you now in order to save you."

"Same me from what?"

Another dark dragoness came from behind her, running to aid her general. Spyro opened his maw again and sent another blast of aether at the other dragon. It to fell over and changed colour.

"Cynder, this will probably hurt but it should be able to cleanse you like the other dragons."

Cynder struck out again, her tail cutting across his flank. Spyro looked at her and shot aether at her. Cynder raised her wing to block it but it pushed through and sent her flying backwards. She landed on her wing awkwardly and cried out. Spyro slowly limped over to her and looked down at her with happiness in his eyes. She looked back at him and found that she moved it. Not the dark aether anymore, her.

"I'm sorry Spyro, I couldn't control it. Seeing you with the other dragoness broke the one thing that had kept me fighting the dark aether."

"Don't worry, we're safe now."

"Actually we aren't," Eira came to stand beside Cynder, blood dripped from the gashes on her body.

Spyro hauled Cynder to her feet and asked Eira, "what do you mean, all we have to fight is Aurora which we should be able to do with five dragons."

"In this state, we probably won't even make it to her. We need to rest and heal."

A dispirited 'oh' was all Spyro thought about it.

"Over their mistress."

A malevolent voice pointed towards them.

"Ahhhh, something has disturbed my general," Aurora purred.

Cynder turned in fear as Aurora, accompanied by a dark blue dragoness strided towards them.

"Um Eira?" Cynder's voice wavered, "we made it to her I think, but we may not be able to beat her."

"Stick together and we shall be able." The determination and courage in her encouraged hers to come forth as well.

The orange dragoness started to stir on the ground. She would be in no condition to fight as well as the other one still motionless. The two dragonesses still conscious moved towards Spyro. He draped one wing over each of them and pulled them tight.

Cynder, Eira, this May be the last time I could say this so I will, the time I've had with both of you have been great, from fighting apes and saving the world; to lying in a hole waiting for the wind to ease. Your both courageous dragons and I would not have chosen any others to fight alongside me."

This would be the final fight, Cynder knew it. They were outmatched here and nothing could really save them. But they would go down fighting.

"Spyro, I will fight by you."

Eira echoed her statement. Together, the three of them stared at the two powerful enemies.

"Any last words?" Sneered Aurora.

So, instead of making this a overly long chapter, I've decided (with some advice from fans) to make the last chapter the final fight. I think this chapter may not make too much sense at the end like how Aurora had found them and whatnot, let's just say it was her sixth sense. Anyway, if you want to read the ending, go to the next chapter (once I write it) and I hope you have been enjoying the story so far (if you made it). Also, whose perspective should i do the final fight on? Cynder, Spyro, Eira or maybe Aurora (plz dont choose that it will be really hard).
