A/N: Hey slapstick here. Well Spyro has a long lost brother. To him one was enough. So this is a big change for everyone, especially Shun. Well let's get started.

Chapter 7

Everyone was quiet as Ignitus just delivered a huge bomb shell. To think Spyro and Shun are long lost brothers. They just looked at each other with disbelief. They soon slowly started to see the similarities. Their faces did look kind of alike, and their horns were pretty close to being similar. However, it wasn't the physical features that they noticed. What stood out more than any thing were their eyes. Their eyes may be different colors, with Shun's being green and Spyro's being purple, but what they saw in them was all to familiar. What they saw was family. That's what was so familiar to them.

Soon a little smile appeared on Shun's face. Since he lost his parents he thought that he had no family left, but standing in front of him was his little brother. Though as quick as the smile appeared it quickly disappeared. He soon realized something he wishes he hadn't. Ignitus, a dragon that Shun has known and respected his whole life, had kept a secret that big from him.

The Silence was too much so Sparx broke it.

"So wait if these two are brothers by birth, then does that make Shun is like my half foster brother or something?"

"No Sparx," replied Ignitus, "since Shun was adopted by your parents he is in no way related to you"

"Right…" said Sparx, "so if their brothers how com they weren't together?"

Ignitus looked over at Shun and saw that he was upset over all of this.

"During the attack on the temple my job was to get you, Spyro, out safely" said Ignitus, "I sent you floating down the river on a mushroom like boat. After you were safe I headed back to the temple. The other guardians were able to escape, but most of the eggs had been destroyed. Shun, you were sleeping in the nursery when it happened. They dragged you out and was about to kill you. I got you out safely. I then took you to small dragon village unknown to the enemy."

Shun was now furious

"Why didn't you tell me about this after my parents died?" asked Shun in an angry way

"I'm sorry Shun," said Ignitus, "I wanted to tell so much, but you've grown so accustom to your current life. I didn't want to change it."

"You changed my life when you decided to separate us"

Outraged, Shun ran out of the room.

"Shun wait!" called Spyro as he was getting ready to run after his older brother.

"Let him go Spyro" said Ignitus, "its better if he's alone to cool down and clear his head. He'll be fine, but in the mean time I think I should give you the grand tour. Come with me"

Ignitus went the other direction Shun went. Spyro was hesitant at first but he soon followed Ignitus with Sparx right behind him.

A few hours have since the start of the tour. The sun was beginning to set as Spyro, Ignitus, and Sparx had completed their tour and was out on the balcony. They looked at and saw the destruction the apes have made. As they saw that some of the land that surrounded the temple was completely burnt. Trees cut down and bodies littered the ground.

"What happened here?" asked Sparx, "I've scene happier scenes at a funeral"

"This is what Cynder and her armies have done to our home" said Ignitus, "her conquest has laid waste to our lands and everyone one else's."

"Can you be any less joyful?" asked Sparx

"It's kind of hard to find joy in your home being destroyed" said Ignitus in an angry tone

"Sparx enough" said Spyro trying to Sparx quiet

"Any way" continued Ignitus, "with your help, Spyro, we will be able to stop Cynder and her armies from wreaking any more havoc"

"I don't know Ignitus," doubted Spyro, "I may be a special dragon but I don't have the experience that you and Shun have. I don't know if I can do it"

"You can Spyro. You managed to give me hope again. Your confidence shows me that if you believe in yourself everything will work out."

"Ok"

"Also it's not like your going to do this alone. You still got me and Shun"

"What about me?" asked Sparx a little jealous

"Yes you too Sparx" said Ignitus

The sun was now completely set, and the celestial moons where rising

"Come," said Ignitus, "Let's get some rest. We need to get up early tomorrow"

"Ah why?" asked Sparx upset, "I was hoping to get a nice long sleep"

"Because tomorrow Spyro begins his training with fire"

"Man I don't want to get up early"

"Sparx no one's making you get up early" said Spyro

"Good cause I wasn't planning on it" said Sparx

They soon left the balcony and made their way to the sleeping chambers. Ignitus lay in an area by the door. Spyro lie next to Ignitus and Sparx found a large vine hanging on the wall. He grabs some moss as a blanket and quickly goes to sleep.

"He's a fast sleeper isn't he?" asked Ignitus

"Yeah," replied Spyro, however, he wasn't really paying attention. He was looking at the door hoping that someone would come. Ignitus looked over at Spyro curiously.

"Something wrong?" asked Ignitus

"Shun has been gone along time. I'm going to go look for him"

"Don't worry Spyro"

"But"

"He's probably just exploring the temple. Like I said this is all a big shock to him. He just needs some time to take it all in. I assure you he'll be back"

"Ok"

"Get some sleep Spyro" said Ignitus, "tomorrow will be a big day for you." He then placed his head down and slowly drifted to sleep.

Spyro soon followed his advice and drifted off to sleep as well, but it didn't last long.

With in an hour Spyro heard something that caused him to wake up. He looked around the moon lit room to see that the sound he heard was the door, on the opposite side of the room, opening and closing. He then saw Shun walking to the area in front of him and laid down. With in minutes he was asleep. Spyro later followed.

It was now early in the morning as the sun's rays peeked into the room. Spyro opened his eyes. He got up and stretched. As he looked around he saw that Sparx and Ignitus were still sleeping. When he looked over to where Shun was he noticed that he wasn't there. Spyro left to go in search of his brother.

Spyro's search soon led him to a room that leads outside to the balcony. This was nothing to special; just place that has an enormous statue of a dragon in it. However, standing at the base of the statue was Shun.

"Hey" called Spyro

Shun looked over a little surprised but happy

"Hey" he replied back with a smile

"What are you doing here by yourself?" asked Spyro as he sat next to Shun

"Nothing really…hey sorry about how I acted earlier. I shouldn't have been so rude to you"

"It's ok I understand"

"Thanks"

"So you're my big brother huh?"

"Yeah…that came a bit of a shock"

"I know what you mean. I felt the same way when I found out"

"What was your life like?"

Shun wanted to know everything about Spyro and vise versa. They spent about an hour or two getting to know each other. Spyro told Shun what it was like living in a swamp and having Sparx for a brother. Shun told Spyro what his life was like in a dragon village. Even though Spyro felt closer to Shun he knew that he still didn't know everything about him. He knew that Shun was still holding something back, but before he could ask they were interrupted. Ignitus had entered the room. He looked down at the two young dragons.

"Oh…you're already here" said Ignitus

"Already where?" asked Spyro

"Why the training room of course" answered Ignitus

"Not to be rude but…yawn…how is this a training room? There's kind of a giant statue in the way" said Sparx coming from behind Ignitus. He was still very tired.

"The statue goes down with the pull of a lever wall. I just have to pull it" with that Ignitus went to the other side of the room to press the button

"I thought you were sleeping in Sparx?" asked Spyro

"I thought I was too," replied Sparx, "but Mr. Early Bird here woke me and said we need to find you two"

Ignitus pulled the lever and the statue began to descend into the ground. With the statue gone the room was now large enough for training.

"Let us begin" said Ignitus
