-As Spyro and Cynder returned to the Temple, they found Whirlwind and Ember waiting for them. "So where is everyone?" asked Spyro.
"They're at the Great Hall. Come on, they're expecting us" said Whirlwind and then Spyro and Cynder then followed them to the Great Hall. Ember walks back towards Spyro and said "So is the village safe?".
"Yeah, we took care of the bad guys" said Spyro.
"What's the village called?" said Ember.
"Naribi. Why'd you ask?" said Spyro who is curious in why Ember asked that question.
"Because I knew someone in the village. I just want to make sure she's alright. Have you seen her?" said Ember.
"Not really, but I'm sure she's safe now" said Spyro.
"Thanks anyway...and Spyro?" said Ember.
"Hmm?" said Spyro.
"I'm sorry about before" said Ember.
"What are you talking about?" said Spyro curiously.
"About when I was upset over you, and I fought Cynder and when I tried to win you over and-" said Ember.
"Ember, we've been over this before. I forgive you. You don't need to be sorry again" said Spyro.
"I know, but I still felt guilty after what I did" said Ember.
"Like I told you before, I only see you as a friend or a sister. My heart belongs to Cynder. Noone else" said Spyro.
"Well, at least we are friends" said Ember smiling.
"Yeah, friends" said Spyro smiling back.
"We're here" said Cynder as they entered the great hall. The five saw Volteer, Cyril, Terrador and some mole captains.
"Good your here. How is the viilage?" terrador said looking at spyro and cynder. "The village is safe Terrador." they told terrador.
He nodded and turned to everyone else in the room and reminded everyone of the apes that attacked the city and then turned back to Spyro and Cynder and asked about the apes attack, Spyro responed, "Large groups. Heavily armored. Mostly consisted as higher classes. Now using bows and arrows. Now call me crazy, Terrador, but they seem to be normal now, like of they were no longer cursed by Malefor" said spyro.
"Yeah, weren't they like skeletons before?" asked Sparx.
"Yeah, we encountered them before when they were cursed" said Spyro.
"Hmm, large groups. Bows and arrows. Armored. No longer cursed. You certain?" said terrador.
"I am certain indeed," said spyro.
"It seems that the Apes have returned. And they are better prepared with better equipment" said Volteer.
"It's more than that, Volteer. We'd already know that the Apes were disbanded years ago. Which was when Malefor was released three years ago, and he has cursed them for their own treachery over their own greed. So it's obvious that the Apes weren't part of the Dark Master's forces anymore. But now they have came back after being gone for so long. But if it is the sign of their return, it would mean that they are now being led by someone. But now the question is who?" said cyril
"I agree with Cyril. Cynder was defeated and freed by Spyro. And Spyro killed their Ape King, Gaul. So who would lead them now?" said volteer.
"Should we investigate?" asked Spyro
"It doesn't matter now, Spyro. They are not a threat to us for now. However, we will need to be cautious now that they have returned. You will need to improve your patrols at the Temple each night for now on. If they planned to do another raid at the Temple, we will need to be ready for them. We cannot let another raid happen again after what has happened before" said terrador.
"Consider it done." said volteer. Then he turned to Spyro and the others and said "Let's go". Everyone then started leaving.
