I really need to get this one finished so I can get started on my main one.

Back in Business

The walk up there was eventful to say the least. We were not getting as much as two feet without running into a crowd of moles or dragons or both.

"I hate all these crowds" Spyro remarked as we made our way to the temple that was on the far side of the city.

"Couldn't we just fly to the temple" Cynder remarked

I looked up at the sky and could feel the strong winds that we blowing.

"Can't wind is too strong right now. You two could end up being blown off to the side of a building." I replied as we made our way to the city center which had the hero statue.

The statue was just the same as I saw it the last time I was here. The citizen must have taken great care of the statue as it sparkled in the midday sun. We skirted around the statue and proceeded to the temple.

The temple had been fully restored since the last time I was here and to my opinion, it got an upgrade. There were now banners that were colored with the four elements that were trained at the temple and I also notice that they used white marble for some new additions instead of the slandered brown marble.

It was also a lot bigger then I remember.

Before I knew it, what looked like the entire population of Warfang was around us. I heard various things from various people.

"Can I have your autograph?"

"Will you be my mate?"

"Can you train my son?"

I also heard people offering gifts of gold or other trinkets which I respectfully declined.

We started to walk up the steps of the temple. I was surprise that the guardians did not notice the noise earlier. I surmised that they might be busy. I was just glad that no one was allowed into the temple unless they had a meeting with the guardians…or what was left of them anyway.

We went inside and I notice how clean the place was. I remember the last time I was here, the place was overgrown with vines and other foliage and now that was all gone. The room we were in had three corridors that went north, east, and west.

I started to think where the guardian chamber was. I can remember helping with the temple reconstruction but that was a long time ago. I was afraid that we might be lost until I heard a voice that I only heard once before.

"Hay Sora your back." I turned my head and it was none other than Flame. He was much older then I remembered but he still had his go-lucky attitude.

"Flame what are you doing here?" I asked confused.

"I am one of the groundskeeper at the temple. It's an honest job and the pays good." He replied and then turned his attention to Spyro and Cynder.

So I guess the rumors are true. The heroes have returned to Warfang. It is such an honor to meet you two." Flame said and then went into a sort of half bow of respect.

"Thanks" Spyro replied, glad that someone was not treating them like celebrities, "Hay could you tell us where the guardians are at?"

"Sure it's down that hall at the very end." Flame replied as he pointed to the north hall.

"Thank you" Cynder replied as we made our way down the north hall.

I notice that the hall was lined with various torches that were unit at the time. There were also a couple of doors that were closed at the time. I was a bit curious as to where they lead to but I had bigger things I needed to do.

It was then that I notice a door starting to open. I tensed up for a seconded before I saw a dragon that I saved twice so far in her life.

It was Ember.

She still had her heart shape necklace that I remember her having and everything else was also the same except for the fact that she looked older.

"Oh Sora is that you." She said shocked

"Ember…I thought you would remember the guy who saved your life." I replied in a half joking way.

"Sorry, I have just been busy of late. The guardians have hired me as a messenger. It an honest job and all but it can be tiring." She let out a sigh of depression that I quickly caught on.

"What's wrong?" I asked

"I just wish I had a mate for myself. That guy you killed a couple days ago was my last chance at a mate but he became too attach to me and I had to dump him." She said in a depressed tone. It was then that she notices Spyro and Cynder standing behind me.

She let out a gasp of surprise and said "I…I'm sorry I didn't notice you sooner heroes of Warfang."

Spyro gave a small smile and said "It no problem. I was glad that we were able to listen into a conversation without someone gawking at us." His smile faltered when he notice the way Ember was looking at him, in a sort of flirting way "Are you okay?" he asked

Ember let out a shocked look like she was broken out of a trance and said "I…I just never realized…how cute you were Spyro." She said and gave a little giggle.

I notice Spyro blush a little but before I could say anything Cynder said "Well we really should be going now." she said in a final voice.

Ember then said "Yeah…I really have to go now, I have a message to deliver anyway" And then made her way down the hall. I notice that she was swinging her behind back and forth but I did not stare.

"Well…shall we be going now." I replied and made our way to the guardian chamber.

And so ends chapter ten. I came really close on making this an M rated story but I tried to keep T to keep with the KH theme. Next chapter will have a little surprise.
