Spyro's Legacy I: One Life to Live
Chapter 10
First Light
Sarah snapped awake "It is time."
Sarah slowly got up to her feet and obeyed, fearful of another attack. "Quicker! This ain't no tea party! Out the door all ready!"
She bolted over to the door and quickly made her way out of the room. Panic filled voices echoed from distant halls.
"Hurry to the end of the hallway."
She sprinted to the end of the hall and made her way out of that door. The early morning sun shone directly into her eyes. A bright yellow hue covered the entire landscape before her.
"Fly directly towards it! As fast as you can!"
Sarah ascended into the sky and began to fly blindly towards the morning sun. Her wings flapped rapidly as she was taken farther and farther away from the temple.

"Well my friends" Spyro started looking from one guardian to the other as the had assembled around "I guess we have something to take care of."
"Agreed." Replied Terrador. His ancient body had been through much more torment. Typically dragon's would bond themselves with nature long before his stage of life. Aches, pains, a dulled immune system all weighed down upon him at this point. But there was not a possible way of keeping him away from the battle field. "If I do not have a use on the field of battle then my life no longer has a point, Spyro. Until I die on the field of battle I have some sort of a use."He had said long ago. Spyro knew better now.
Adar, The light blue ice guardian shivered. His crystal eyes calmed down ever slightly but the rest of him trembled violently.
Nate, A middle aged yellow dragon stood beside Spyro. The Guardian of Electricity didn't show any emotion. Though he himself had never been in any battles before, as a "Seer" he had experienced many first hand anyhow through memories of the dead and living. In a way he had more experiance than any other guardian. Chances were that he might have even lived this one all ready.
"Nothing to worry about this battle you guys." He said a-matter-of-factly. "I think it is a diversion. Spyro your censers can see far beyond all of us, Is there anything out of the ordinary out there?"
Spyro scanned the entire area within his ability. Lot's of frightened young dragons were huddled in a room with a few very calm moles. A temple guard stood guard at the entrance of that room. A few messengers flew off at the fringe of his vision towards Warfang and a young female dragon flew off into the distance in fear. "Sarah" Spyro realised. "Hopefully she'll be back."
"I really hope she will be. I don't think she'd beable to make it out there on her own yet." Cynder chimed in
"Yeah"
"Nothing out of the ordinary." Spyro reported
"Really?" Nate asked squinting in puzzelment.
Spyro quickly checked again with the same result. "Nothing"
"Huh"
They all turned back around to the quickly aproaching enemy. Their dark features becoming more precise.
Their bodies were all black. Their under belly being a different shade of black. As reported they were not consumed as all of the other dark dragons that they had seen before. Four dragons in all there were.
Terrador turned to them. "Each of us take one of them. Cynder you hover above us all. Offer as much assistance as you can.
"All right."
"Well" Spyro said stretching out his wings. "They have been flying more than us obviously. Let's take this battle to them.
Everybody agreed and they all took off.

Sarah continued to fly towards the sun. "Are they still with me?" She though to her self as they had drawn silent.
"Yeah! And don't you even think about disobeying us again!" it scolded "If you do you will definitely regret it."
"All right, all right,"
"They are looking now"one of the voices said to the other hushidly. Low enough that Sarah could not comprehend what was said.
"Huh?" she asked.
"We are going to kill you no matter what you know! You will never get away from our grip. If you disobey us you will only get a slower and more painful death. You might as well throw away all chances of escape and accept your new rule in life."
Sarah now knew for sure that they would eventually killed her. She began to accept her role just as they had asked her ironicaly.

Cynder, Spyro and the guardians stopped in front of the stopped line of dark dragons. Cynder above them.
One of the dark dragon's nodded towards the others and they all moved towards the guardians. Cynder dropped a shot of poison onto the one that moved towards Terrador. It shrieked and looked up towards Cynder. He stopped and looked at her oddly. Cynder realized what was going on and winked at him.
He didn't have time to respond though as Terrador hit him in the left wing with an earth ball. The shot ripped a hole through his wing and he was sent in a downward spiral to the ground.
Cynder shifted her attention to Adar's attacker. He had frozen the tips of it's wings and penetrated it in the stomach with an ice shard.
Cynder shrieked at it in a fear attack. It hesitated for a moment and Adar sliced his claw's across it's face.
Nate hit his enemy with a lightning bolt while Nate was struck by a few claws. Blood dripped from his face Cynder blew the dark dragon away from Nate. Nate moved into the draft and dropped his horns into his enemy's chest. Cynder relented the gust and Nate turned around and zapped Adar's enemy. Adar tail slapped the enemy and his body went limp.
Cynder turned towards Spyro and Terrador. The only remaining dark dragon launched a bright green ball towards Terrador. It hit him in the neck. Spyro wasted no time and engulfed he enemy in a ball of fire. The dragon's burn covered body stopped and flopped to the ground.
Terrador folded over on himself. Spyro quickly moved over to the Earth Guardian.
"Take me back to the temple." Terrador said weakly.
