"Alright Ignitus, Alister's been fed so you can continue the story now." Spyro announced as he and Cynder walked back into the reading room, Alister riding on Cynder's back.

"Did you bring me anything to eat?" Ignitus asked. Spyro caught off guard by this just stood there. "Oh I'm only kidding."

"Oh okay." Spyro sighed. "But next time I promise I'll bring you something." He added as he and Cynder lied down.

"Alright let's start. Ignitus said opening the book.

Chapter Fifteen

Malefor looked behind Moon and saw a white dragoness with a light green underbelly and wing membrane; green frills ran down from the top of her head to the bottom of her neck, they also covered the tip of her tail; she had wavy white horns edged with gray; she had three wavy green marks on each of her cheeks, and a green pattern on her left thigh that looked like a tornado; at the base of her tail was pink scarring that looked like she had been bit there, hard. When the dragoness saw Malefor she glared at him with her purple eyes.

Moon turned around. "Oh hey." She said cheerily waving her tail to beckon her over. "Airovia this is-"

"I already know this idiot." The white dragoness hissed.

"Yeah Moon there's no need to introduce us, I already know this looser." Malefor said sticking his tongue out at the dragoness.

"I'm no looser, you're a cheater." Airovia growled. Malefor knew she was referring to the temple's annual training tournament, which was when each guardian would choose their best student from each age group to face off against each other. To everybody's surprise Perma picked Malefor for the fifteen year old tournament. He easily beat the thunder, and earth dragons, and had a bit of difficulty beating Indigo in the semifinals, but in the finals he had to fight Airovia. The fight was long and hard but in the end he got on top of her and bit down on the base of her tail and wouldn't let go until she surrendered, but because she was too stubborn to give in quickly he wound up permanently scarring her.

"I didn't cheat." Malefor growled. "The rules were to make your opponent surrender on incapacitate them, and since no matter how many times I hit you in the head you didn't black out I had to make you give up."

"I was talking about when your mother electrocuted me to help you win." Airovia spat.

"Everybody knows that that's a lie!" Malefor exclaimed shoving his face right up to Airovia's. "My mom would never do something so wrong!"

"Then explain the jolt of electricity that stopped me from getting away from you before you jumped on me!" Airovia growled.

"Maybe that never happened and you're just-" Malefor was interrupted by Airovia pressing her lips to his in a sudden kiss. Malefor pulled away. "What do you think you're doing?"

"Oh come on Malefor, you never noticed that I liked you?" Airovia asked rolling her eyes. "I have ever since you defeated me; I've tried to ignore it but every time I see your annoying face I can't think straight and I just find myself mindlessly staring at you, wanting to be with you but not wanting to admit it; I just couldn't resist kissing you when you were so close to my lips."

"Awe that's so cute, it's even like you've marked her as yours." Moon said pointing her tail at Airovia's scars.

"That would work both ways then." Airovia said giving a wicked smile.

"Shut up Airovia." Malefor growled.

"What does that mean?" Moon asked Airovia.

"Just this." She said pushing Malefor off his paws and onto his back.

"What are you doing, get your paws off me!" Malefor exclaimed as Airovia sat down between his hind legs. She wrapped her tail around his left hind paw and pulled back revealing his inner thigh where a long scar was hidden.

"See this scar; I gave it to him during the same fight." Airovia explained sliding her paw across it.

When she did Malefor felt an odd, but enjoyable sensation travel through his body. "Woh do that again." He said looking at Airovia excitedly.

"Alright." Airovia smiled rubbing her paw along it slowly and softly. This time an electrical current could be seen traveling up his body to his chest where it scattered all over quickly disappearing.

"Wow!" Moon exclaimed. "But I thought you were a fire dragon."

"No he's an ice dragon." Airovia said shocked.

"Actually I'm both and more." Malefor said. He opened his mouth and shot a large ice crystal into the air; as it started falling back down Malefor released a stream of fire melting it and covering them all in warm water; finally he let loose an electrical current electrocuting all three of them. "Maybe that last part wasn't such a good idea." He coughed looking at Moon and Airovia to see them staring at him in utter shock.

"Did you just use ice, fire, and electricity?" Airovia asked.

"I told you I could use fire." Malefor said giving a cocky smile.

"How did you do that?" Moon asked.

"I don't really know; I just felt them felt them mingling around in my chest and had to let them out." Malefor said rolling to his paws.

"That is the coolest thing ever!" Moon exclaimed bright eyed. "Can we see more?"

"Sure I guess." Malefor agreed. He opened his mouth and let out a stream of fire and kept it going till it had dried the three of them.

"Now do electricity." Moon said excitedly. Malefor opened his mouth and let out a surge of electricity letting it fly around in multiple directions. "Now ice." Malefor shot ice shards into the ground.

"That's amazing!" Airovia gasped. "But how did it happen?"

"Maybe it had to do with when you rubbed my scar." Malefor suggested. "You could've released some kind of tension."

"Or maybe you two just have some sparks between the two of you." Moon teased making Airovia blush.

"I doubt it." Malefor said coming off rude.

"And why not?" Airovia asked insulted.

"Because I already have a dragoness I like." Malefor said.
"If you're talking about Fey she's just a stuck up idiot." Airovia scoffed.

"You mean the pink dragoness we saw yesterday; yeah she's mean." Moon agreed.

"You know what I don't have to stand here and listen to you insult her, I'm going home for dinner." Malefor grumbled. That's when he remembered he needed a 'friend' to bring home. "Either of you want to come?" He asked awkwardly.

"The first date and you're already taking us to your place?" Moon asked sending her and Airovia into a fit of giggling. "What's next; you gonna ask us to be your mates?" She asked making them giggle more.

"Yeah, and besides you haven't even told us who you like more me, or Moon?" Airovia asked making both of them become vary serious looking.

"Uhhh… ummm…" Malefor stuttered making both the girls burst out in full blown laughter. "This is going to be one long night."

"Okay we need to stop for a bit." Cynder said pulling Alister close to her." It's somebody's nap time."

"Cynder I think you do this on purpose." Spyro sighed.

Cynder gave a mischievous smile. "Spyro you know how grouchy he gets without his nap." She said.

"Well please hurry I'm an old dragon with nothing better to do than read to the young." Ignitus said.

"I can't choose how long he stays awake but look he's already tired." Cynder said as Alister let out a long yawn. "He'll be out in no time."
