Well, final chapter I guess. I won't be doing a sequel. The next story I do is a HTTYD one about the third movie. Any fans of that come and read, any fans of dragons should also come and read, and any fans of just reading in general (while not understanding some of the meanings) should also come and read.

Chapter 7: fight

Bleeding heavily from the several gashes on her underbelly, Eira stood alongside her friend Spyro. The orange dragon had nearly killed her, only her last desperate attempt at avoiding had saved her, that and Spyro blasting it with something. The black dragoness, Cynder, came along Spyro's other flank. She had been the one to set the orange dragon onto her. Eira kind of understood that Cynder had been under a dark influence, but at the time, she didn't care. Cynder had ordered it to attack her so no matter what, in Eira's eyes Cynder was evil.

"So little dragons, what are you going to do?" Aurora sneered.

As much as Eira disliked Cynder, she hated Aurora. The drake was on a whole different level of evil, high enough to imprison dragonesses to harness their power at a later date.

Spyro took at defiant step forward, "we've faced worse you know, Cynder and I, we can take you down easily; you should just run away now, ave yourself while you still can."

A malevolent laugh resounded from Aurora.

"With my dragon army getting made and your dwindling strength, what have I got to fear?" Aurora turned to the dragon who had accompanied her, "go and kill them for me, they're starting to annoy me."

"Yes mistress."

The blue dragon stepped towards them, it's foot cracking rocks underneath its feet. Spyro took a deep breath, ready to use the purple bolts of energy that had seemed to have cured the corrupted dragons.

"Now Spyro, you can't just blast her with aether, fight her properly."

"Hey Aurora, why don't you fight me yourself?"

"Maybe some other time, I have to go and complete my army first."

A purple ray came out of Spyro's maw as he unleashed the aether. Something like a sigh came out of Aurora as the aether, heading towards the blue dragon, got deflected into the ground by wind.

"Cynder, help me."

Cynder also opened her maw to unleash her own aether. It connected with Spyro's and together they pushed it off the ground.

An astonished "how?" Was all they heard before the purple beam ran over the bark blue dragoness. It got flung backwards, the scales changing colour and hit the ground hard. Eira's companions shut off the aether. They both stood panting from the amount of energy used.

"Fine!" Screamed Aurora, "you get your wish, Spyro, I will fight you all myself."

Aurora launched herself at the purple dragon. He just got a wing in the way of a wicked tail swipe. Cynder ran to help and got blown away by a gust of wind. Aurora pounced at Spyro who rolled out off the way. He ran to Cynder's side.

Eira realised that she had been standing there doing nothing while Spyro was getting attacked. He had saved her life three times, now she would go and save his.

The drake was right behind Spyro and was catching up to him. Eira sent out a freezing breathe which froze Aurora's foot to the ground for a brief moment before shattering from the momentum of the moving drake. It did however put her off balance and she crashed into the ground, landing on her side.

Aurora's head came up and looked at her, hatred seething from the gaze. Spyro shocked her with his lightning breathe and the drake howled in more anger than pain. Getting up off the ground, she made her way to Eira. Eira ran sideways, trying to loop around Aurora to the safety of Spyro. Halfway around, her underbelly hurt terribly and a warm liquid seeped out of the freshly re-opened wounds. A strong wind buffeted her off her feet into a rock behind her. Pain flared along her back and head, a welcome darkness overcame her. A darkness, to take away the pain.

Cynder heard Spyro call out Eira's name. Aurora stalked towards her and she remembered before that the same thing had happened, with the orange dragoness.

It had happened under her orders.

The long gashes, the blood dripping from them, had been made by her, because she had told the nearly mindless beast to do it. Cynder could bear most feelings but guilt was not one of them. All her early years of life, she had been taken from her home and forced to do more evil and horrible things because of dark aether. Now it had caused a dragon that Spyro cared for to get hurt really badly and she new that all but Spyro would blame her for them even when she couldn't control herself. If Spyro cared for something, then she would care for it as well, not cause it and harm.

Spyro charged towards Aurora, head down and called out to her, "Go and see if Eira's not hurt too badly from the rock and take her somewhere safe."

Cynder rushed to see how bad Eira was hurt. The light blue dragonesses body moved slowly up and down, at least she was breathing.

Blood trickled down the cuts and onto the crimson ground.

The drake heard talons scraping rock and felt a heavy body hit her from the side, sending them both into a bush. Aurora stood up quickly to see Spyro doing the same. The dragon was determined, that much she could give. He had followed her all the way to this lair for the black dragoness, Cynder. She would love to see defeat in his eyes.

Her tail flicked out at Spyro who just avoided it. Spyro ran once again at her. This time she jumped into the air and flapped her wings. Spyro jumped into the air and followed her. She flew towards her cave and just before she got there Spyro rammed into her right wing. With a cry of pain she spiraled down, a hundred or so metres from her destination.

"You'll regret this young dragon, leave me now and I might spare your miserable life."

Spyro couldn't let her in for then she would bring out reinforcements which he could possibly not beat.

"You've hurt my friends. Things like that can't go unanswered."

Spyro ran at her again, ducking under a tail swipe and jumping high into the air. His tail came down onto nothing as she struck him out of the air with a claw. Luckily his tough scales stopped it from penetrating.

As Spyro struggled to stand, Aurora swung her tail at him, intending to finish him off. Spyro's wing came up to block it and he was sent skidding across the ground.

Spyro went to rise and fell back down, his energy depleted. Aurora turned around and walked towards her cave.

Spyro desperately called out, "you coward! Fight me!" To get her to stay away from summoning more enemies.

Unfortunately, she turned around suddenly, anger flaring in her eyes as she stomped over to end his life.

"Fine, I'll kill you now."

Her huge muscles tensed as she jumped into the air, doing a summersault to land on Spyro. Using his last strength, Spyro made a shell of stone around him. Aurora's tail came down hard and crumpled the stone to hit Spyro without halting.

Once the dust cleared, there was no sign of Spyro, just Aurora striding away with a triumphant smile on her mouth and a huge crater in the ground.

Finally, Aurora thought to herself. Finally I shall make my unstoppable army and become the queen of the world. She moved confidently into her lair, all was quiet. Her tail throbbed in pain at the pesky dragons attempt at protecting himself. Aurora rounded the corner to find bodies of lihzahrds strewn across the ground, and standing defiantly were around a hundred angry dragonesses with gleeful smiles at seeing her.

"Oh, this could stop me."

Cynder helped Eira to her feet and they started walking towards where Spyro and Aurora had flown. She had seen Spyro knock her out of the sky and her hopes had risen. Then a huge cloud of dust had sprung into the sky. Rocks and boulders lay around with clumps of bushes in between making it hard to navigate to where the flying was. A soft groan and a thud found Eira lying on the ground and Cynder asking if she was alright. Cynder watched as Eira seemed to shake her head slowly and point a trembling finger behind her. She looked in horror as a large crater, with a glittering purple object inside, lay in front of her. She had been distracted by Eira that she had missed it. Leaving Eira behind, Cynder rushed into the crater to find Spyro lying unmoving. Cynder put her ear to his chest.

He wasn't breathing.

"No! Spyro, you can't be dead, you can't."

Eira made her way to Cynder's side, yet Cynder barely registered it. Thoughts swirled around her head while her eyes dropped tears. The times when she had seen him look at death in the eye and come out unharmed. All the fights, all the pain that he had went through to be with her. Yet, evil never stopped and now, she would never be able to be with him. She wouldn't be able to live, Spyro had been there when she felt the others look at here in distaste, he had been there when she was alone in the world.

Cynder blinked back more tears. She would save them for later, right now, she had to save the world again.

"Cynder, Cynder, can you hear me?" The voice was the best thing she had ever heard, it was spyro's voice.

"Spyro your alive, I can't believe it." Cynder stepped back so that Spyro could stand, "do you need help standing?"

A long sigh, yet Spyro didn't move.

"Spyro?"

A ghostly form of Spyro appeared before her, a sad smile across his drooping muzzle.

"Cynder, I'm sorry but I am dead. But, when we were at the heart of the world just after Malefor's defeat, Ignitus spoke to me. He said that when a dragon dies, he doesn't truly leave this world. They stay and bind themselves with nature to offer hope for the future. Ignitus gave me his strength so that I may save the world," Spyro's form started to disappear, "now, it's your turn to save the world. Take my power and avenge me."

Spyro disappeared.

"Spyro, don't go, please. I can't live without you by my side."

Cynder's eyes opened, Eira stared at her, waving a paw in front of her face.

"Hello, Cynder? Are you awake?"

Perhaps it wasn't real, perhaps Spyro was still alive. Cynder stepped towards spyro's body when purple smoke billowed from him. It rose up into the air before coming straight towards Cynder. Cynder yelped and held her breath.

"Take my power," was this it?

Cynder pushed down her fears and breathed in the smoke. As it entered her body, her skin under her scales started to tingle and she felt better than ever.

"Cynder are you alright?"

"Yeah I'm alright, never better in fact."

"Good, because Aurora is at the cave mouth. "

Cynder looked up over the rim of the crater to see Aurora backing out slowly, wind blowing from her mouth at unseen creatures. Cynder ran towards her.

Aurora's tail slammed into the side of the wall and she jumped clear as the roof collapsed.

"Take that you stupid dragons!"

Dragons? Had she trapped the others in there? Anger welled up inside her. Not only had she killed Spyro, but she was going to kill the other dragonesses as well. Aurora turned just in time as Cynder bashed into her side, claws and tail slashing towards her. Aurora fell backwards and got to her feet.

"So, you want to join your purple friend then?"

Cynder just ran at her again, this time testing out how much power she had inherited from Spyro.

Flames spread across her scales as she barreled towards Aurora. She hit a startled drake with her head and flung her up. Aurora flapped her wings desperately to stay afloat. Cynder let out a spark of electricity which arced into the air and struck the drake. Cynder built up power as the stunned drake fell down. Before she hit the ground, Cynder jumped up in a huge twisting blizzard underneath Aurora. At the peak of her jump, she turned into a huge ball of stone and plummeted onto Aurora. Dirt shot up into the sky and slowly fell down.

Once it all fell, Cynder looked down smugly at the drake, nothing could have survived that.

"Was that your best?" Aurora purred from under her wings.

"How?" Cynder looked on in dread as Aurora stood up to show no sign of damage.

"Huh, do you really not no anything about us? Our scales are the strongest things ever known, and there resistant to all but the strongest magic."

Cynder took a step back, she had only one idea left.

"Then I guess I have to have the strongest magic."

Eira watched the fight, Cynder was destroying Aurora. Eira wished she knew how to summon the twisting blizzard, she would have to ask her after. The dirt blocked her vision but Cynder must have won, she had turned into rock and dropped onto the drake. Eira was so dering when Cynder was going to stride out of the dirt cloud triumphant when the dirt dropped to the ground. To Eira's horror, Aurora wasn't dead, in fact she looked like nothing had happened. A brief conversation passed between them before Aurora started to advance upon the smaller black dragon.

Cynder then ran opat the drake, fire covering her again. This time, once she hit Aurora, she went up, pushing the drake with her head.

Higher and higher they went, then the fire stopped and time seemed to slow down. A wave of orange fire spreaded out with Cynder at its center. The wave suddenly stopped and came back. As it reached Cynder, a huge implosion lit the sky. Instantly, Eira knew that both of them were dead, she could feel the heat from where she was. Strangely, the fire this time was purple, the same colour as the cloud that had gone into Cynder, the thing that had given her the power to defeat Aurora.

Maybe, it was that power going free with Cynder's death?

Well, this is an updated version of the old chapter I had hear. Any of you that read the first one and this one, I hope this one is better. Anyway, thanks for reading.

Now, I am going to write a HTTYD story next but don't have many ideas of my own and would appreciate it if any of you guys could recommend me one. Right now, I have request for Camicazi to be in it. If you have any characters you would like to read, tell me.

Epilogue:

Spyro felt his power return to him, Cynder had been able to defeat the drake. He was in the valley of Avalar, well not the real one, just for spirits. Spyro walked to the edge of his cave, he wished he could have seen her win, wished he could be with her again.

Sighing loudly, Spyro spoke out loud, he had been doing it lately since dying, "ahhh, Cynder, how I wish I could see you just one more time."

"Who says you can't," her voice sounded from behind him.

Spyro turned as Cynder jumped on top of him.

Spyro nuzzled her neck, stunned at her being here yet not caring.

"How are you here, ami dreaming again?"

"Nope, I may have died fighting Aurora."

"Wait, you died? Then-"

"But I saved the world still, she can't possibly take over the world as a pile of ashes."

"Cynder, I love you. I've told you multiple times but now we can be with each other forever."

"I love you too Spyro," Cynder got off of Spyro.

Spyro sat down beside her, draping his wing over her back. Cynder sat down and rested her head against Spyro.

Together, they watched the sun descend below the distant mountains.
