Spyro was laying his head on a pillar until someone scared him. "You! Bell ringer! What are you doing down here?" This made Spyro knock over a candlestick. Ember noticed this. "Haven't you caused enough trouble already?" "Wait. I-I want to talk to you." Ember said chasing Spyro up to the balcony. "Look, he's got a friend with him." said Bianca. "Yeah. Maybe today wasn't a total loss after all." said Sparx. "A vision of loveliness." said Hunter. "The one in the pink ain't bad either." said Sparx.
Spyro's friends congratulated him. "Way to go, Spyro!" said Sparx. "Congratulations!" said Hunter. "We knew you had it in ya." said Bianca. "Got the girls chasin' ya already." said Sparx. "Actually, I-" Spyro started. "You mustn't run too fast, or she'll get away." Hunter interrupted. "Yes, I-I know. That's what I-" Spyro said. "Give her some slack, then reel her in. Then give her some slack, then reel her in. Then give her some slack-" Sparx said. Then Bianca bonked Sparx right on the head. "Knock it off, Sparx. She's a dragon, not a mackerel." She said.
Ember finally caught up with Spyro as his friends turned back to stone. "Here you are. I was afraid I'd lost you." She said. "Yes. Well, I, uh- I have chores to do. I-It was nice...seeing...you...again." Spyro said. Then he groaned and ran off. "No, wait!" Ember said. Zoe looked at the statue of Sparx. He came alive and made kissing noises at her. "Huh?" She wondered as Sparx turned back to stone again.
"I'm really sorry about this afternoon. I had no idea who you were. I would never in my life have pulled you...up...on...the...stage." Ember said as she saw Spyro's model city and his glass mobiles. "What is this place?" She asked. "This is where I live." Spyro said. "Did you make all these things yourself?" Ember asked. "Most of them." Spyro answered. "This is beautiful. If I could do this, you wouldn't find me dancing in the streets for coins." Ember said. "But you're a wonderful dancer." Spyro said.
"It keeps bread on the table, anyway. What's this?" Ember wondered as she saw something covered in a cloth. "Oh! No, please! I-I-I'm not finished. I still have to paint them." Spyro said as Ember uncovered two figures. "It's the blacksmith and the baker!" Ember said excitedly. Zoe saw some sheep figures and started zapping them. "You're a surprising creature, Spyro. Not to mention lucky. All this room to yourself." Ember said to him.
"Well, it's not just me. There's the gargoyles and, of course, the bells. Would you like to see them?" Spyro asked. "Yes, of course. Wouldn't we, Zoe?" Ember said to her as Zoe zapped the last sheep. "Follow me. I'll introduce you." Spyro said. "I never knew there were so many." Ember said looking around. "That's Little Sophia. And Jeane-Marie, Anne-Marie, Louise-Marie. Triplets, you know." said Spyro. "And who's this?" Ember asked looking at a large bell. "Big Marie." said Spyro.
"Hello!" Ember said as she went underneath the bell and it echoed and resonated. "She likes you. Would you like to see more?" asked Spyro. "How about it, Zoe?" She asked her. Zoe zapped her wand and she got spooked as the zapping resonated in the bell. "We'd love to." Ember said. "Good. I've saved the best for last." Spyro said as he led Ember and Zoe up to the highest balcony. It was a spectacular view. "Oh! I bet the king himself doesn't have a view like this. I could stay up here forever." Ember said.
"Y-You could, you know." said Spyro. "No, I couldn't." Ember said. "Oh, yes, you have sanctuary." Spyro said. "But not freedom. 'Dragons don't do well inside stone walls.'" Ember pointed out. "But y-y-you're not like other dragons. They are...evil." Spyro said. "Who told you that?" Ember asked. "My master, Ripto. He raised me." Spyro said. "How can such a cruel creature have raised someone like you?" Ember wondered.
"Cruel? Oh, no. He saved my life. He took me in when no one else would. I am a monster, you know." Spyro said. "He told you that?" asked Ember. "Look at me." Spyro said. Then Ember had an idea. "Give me your paw." Ember said. "What?" Spyro asked. "Just let me see it." Ember said. She started reading his paw. "Hmm. A long lifeline. Oh, and this one means you're shy. Hmm. Hmm, mmm, mmm. Well, that's funny." Ember said. "What?" Spyro asked. "I don't see any-" Ember started. "Any what?" Spyro wondered.
"Monster Lines. Not a single one. Now you look at me. Do you think I'm evil?" Ember asked as she let out her paw. "No! No, no. You are kind and good and-and-" Spyro started. "And a dragon. And maybe Ripto's wrong about the both of us." Ember said. "What did she say?" Sparx asked. "Ripto's nose is long, and he wears a truss." Bianca said. "Ha! Told ya! Pay up." Sparx said. "Oh, dear." Hunter said handing Sparx a coin. "Chump." Sparx said taking the coin.
Spyro decided to help Ember and Zoe escape the temple. "You helped me. Now I will help you." Spyro said. "But there's no way out. There're Rhynocs at every door." Ember pointed out. "We won't use a door." said Spyro. "You mean, climb down?" Ember wondered. "Sure. You carry her. I carry you." Spyro said referring to Zoe. "Okay. Come on Zoe." Ember said. Zoe then grabbed on to Ember's horn.
"Ready?" Spyro asked. "Yes." Ember answered. "Don't be afraid." Spyro said. "I'm not afraid." Ember said. Spyro then hung over the edge of the balcony. "Now I'm afraid." Ember said. "The trick is not to look down." Spyro said. Then Zoe suddenly looked down, and she yelled as she clung tightly to Ember's horn. "You've done this before?" Ember asked. "No." Spyro said. Spyro then started climbing down the outskirts of the temple.
"Wow, you're quite an acrobat." Ember said. "Thank you." Spyro said. Then suddenly the tile they're standing on comes loose and they're sliding on it. They jump off before it takes off into the air. The Rhynocs heard a noise and went to investigate. "Check the alley!" "This way!" They finally made their way to the bottom. They hid by a statue until the coast was clear. "I hope I didn't scare you." Spyro said. "Not for an instant." Ember said. Zoe just groaned.
"I'll never forget you, Ember." Spyro said. "Come with me." Ember said. "What?" Spyro wondered. "To the Court of Miracles. Leave this place." She said. "Oh, no. I'm never going back out there again. You saw what happened today. No. This is where I belong." Spyro said. "All right, then I'll come to see you." Ember said. "Here? But the Rhynocs and Ripto!" Spyro said. "I'll come after sunset." Ember said.
"But at sunset, I ring the evening mass, and after that I clean the cloisters. And then I ring the vespers, and-" Ember kissed his cheek. "Whatever's good for you." Spyro finished. "If you ever need sanctuary, this will show you the way." Ember said handing him a necklace. "But how?" Spyro asked. "Just remember: When you wear this necklace draw, you hold the realms in your paw." Ember said as Spyro hid the necklace under his wing. "Ember! They're coming back!" Zoe said. Then Ember and Spyro noticed the Rhynocs.
"Hurry. You must go." Spyro said. Then Ember and Zoe made their way to the ground and made their way to the Court. "Check the alley." "Yes, sir. No one here, sir." "No one here, sir." "Check the street." They said. Spyro smiled cause he was happy to help Ember then he started flying up back to the balcony. When he got there, Bandit was waiting for him. "Hi, there. I'm looking for the pink dragon. Have you seen her?" He asked.
Spyro growled and charged at Bandit. "Whoa, whoa! Easy!" Bandit said. "No soldiers! Sanctuary! Get out!" Spyro said as he kept charging. "Wait! All I want is to-" Bandit started but Spyro wouldn't listen. "Go!" He said. "I mean her no harm." Bandit said. "Go!" Spyro growled as he continued to charge at Bandit but he stopped Spyro by grabbing one of his horns as Spyro grabbed his bandanna with his claws.
"You tell her for me, I didn't mean to trap her here. But it was the only way I could save her life. Will you tell her that? Will you?" Bandit asked. "If you go. Now." Spyro said. "I'll go. Now will you...put me down, please?" Bandit asked. As he noticed his boots weren't touching the floor. Spyro put him down. Then he started to leave, but he turned around. "Oh, and one more thing. Tell Ember...she's very lucky." Bandit said. "Why?" Spyro asked. "To have a friend like you." Bandit said as he exited. Spyro wondered about this.
