(Dragon Temple)
Weeks have passed since Ducar visited the Dragon Realm and helped save the world from the evil Lord Thanatos. Inside the Dragon Temple, Spyro, Sparx, Ignitus, Terrador, Cyril, and Volteer were all asleep. Everyone except Cynder. The black dragoness still felt guilty for all the things she had done under the Dark Master's control, not to mention Lord Thanatos, and she felt that her destiny was somewhere out in the world for her find. Unable to get any sleep, Cynder got up and sneaked out into the temple gardens. However, she did not see Sparx watching her leave. As soon as she was gone, Sparx left to go find Spyro.
Spyro was sound asleep outside the Dragon Temple, resting on the balcony where the stars dazzled the night sky with it's mystical light show. As he slept, Spyro began having a dream.
(Spyro's dream)
In his dream, Spyro saw a large mountain towering over him. He then saw a colossal purple column of darkness beam down into a large opening at the top of the mountain.
"My master returns."
"We're too late!"
"DESTROY THEM, CYNDER, MY PET. SHOW THEM THE TRUE MEANING OF FEAR."
Spyro soon found himself in the World of Convexity with Sparx and Ducar as they faced off against Cynder who was back to being a large, evil dragoness.
The purple dragon began levitating in the air and crosses his paws, charging with purple energy. When his attack was fully charged, Spyro thrusts his body out and unleashes a powerful fury attack at Cynder, sending multiple shockwaves throughout the endless void. Cynder fell onto the ground flat on her stomach and was defeated.
"She is just like me." Spyro says
While Cynder laid down on the ground, Lord Thanatos walks down the steps of the altar.
"IMPRESSIVE. YOU HAVE FOUGHT WELL AGAINST MY PET, CYNDER. BUT NOW YOU WILL ANSWER TO ME." Lord Thanatos says
Lord Thanatos stretches his right-hand toward Cynder and absorbs the darkness that had once corrupted Cynder into his body, adding it's dark power to his own. Soon, his entire body began to glow with a dark blue aura and spark with dark blue electricity.
"WITH CYNDER'S POWER IN MY POSSESSION, I SHALL BRING THIS WORLD TO IT'S KNEES." Lord Thanatos says
With all the power of darkness surging through his body, Lord Thanatos spreads his arms out and raises them up toward the sky, causing dark blue lightning bolts to arc out from his body in all directions throughout the World of Convexity. Then, the portal to Malefor's prison began to open, pulling everything towards it, including Ducar, Spyro, Sparx, and Cynder.
"Dudes, we've got to get out of here... now!" Sparx says
"We can't just leave her behind." Spyro says
"Spyro's right. We've got to save Cynder." Ducar says
"What? Save the beast that's been trying to kill us?" Sparx asks
"That wasn't her fault. She was being used by the Dark Master and Lord Thanatos!" Spyro says
Spyro watched as Cynder was swept off the ground and sucked into the portal. The purple dragon then watched Ducar run at full speed toward the portal and dive in after Cynder. Soon after, Ducar jumps out from the portal with Cynder unconscious in his arms, landing infront of Spyro and Sparx. Ducar sets Cynder down gently on the ground and held her down with his hands to avoid having her be sucked into the portal again.
"Spyro! Take Cynder and go! I'll deal with Lord Thanatos!" Ducar says
"No! I won't leave you here!" Spyro says
"I said go! Now!" Ducar shouts
Spyro was hesitant to leave Ducar behind, but he soon grabbed Cynder with his claws and flew away with Sparx following close behind. As he flew away, the purple dragon looked back to see Ducar fighting Lord Thanatos with his Keyblade. Then, Spyro heard a dark voice calling out his name. What he heard was the same exact voice that Ducar heard on their way toward the World of Convexity.
"S-S-S-SpYrO... S-S-S-SpYrO..."
Spyro was a bit concerned when he heard the voice calling out his name. However, he could not tell if it was the Dark Master's voice or whether it belonged to someone much worse.
(The Dragon Temple)
"S-s-s-Spyro.." A voice calls
Spyro opened his eyes upon hearing another voice calling him. The purple dragon looked infront of him and saw Sparx hovering infront of him.
"Hey, Spyro! Some night, huh? Beautiful." Sparx says
"What is it you want, Sparx?" Spyro asks
"Huh. Why do I want to want something? I'm just ready to begin the best day ever since that evil-psycho-she-dragon is gone." Sparx says
"What!? Cynder? What do you mean, Sparx?" Spyro asks
"Whoa! Calm down, big fella. Gosh, you're awfully tense. Hmm, haven't been sleeping much? You should listen to Volteer tell one of his stories. That'll put anyone to sleep." Sparx says
"Sparx... What happened?" Spyro asks
"Okay, you ready?" Sparx says
Sparx began telling Spyro about what happened just minutes ago.
"I got up to get some fresh air since I don't sleep much myself these days with ah... the female-of-fright hanging about, low and behold... there she was, sneaking out into the garden. Oooohhh. She gives me the creeps, dude. Hear my teeth." Sparx says
Sparx began chattering his teeth.
"Come on. We have to find her. It's dangerous for her to be outside the temple at night." Spyro says
Spyro began making his way toward the Dragon Temple to find Cynder, but Sparx flew up infront of him, making the purple dragon stop.
"It's dangerous for any of us to be outside at night. Besides, Ignitus said you have to wait 'til your powers return..." Sparx says
Sparx then whispers.
"Cause you're weak..." Sparx whispers with a snicker
"No time to argue. Come on." Spyro says
Spyro headed into the Dragon Temple while Sparx watched him go.
"Ah, you'd be helpless without me. I better come with you." Sparx says with a cough
With that said, Sparx began following Spyro into the Dragon Temple. The two soon came into a large chamber where all four of the Dragon Guardians were sleeping. Each of the large dragons were snoring rather loudly.
"Quiet. We mustn't wake them." Spyro whispers
"What?! I can't hear you over all this loud snoring!" Sparx shouts
Spyro quietly tip-toed past Terrador first, then Cyril, then Volteer, and then made it past Ignitus who was actually sleeping more quietly than the other three dragons. Once they made it past the Dragon Guardians, Spyro and Sparx began heading toward the gardens.
(Meanwhile)
Cynder was out in the gardens just outside the Dragon Temple. As Cynder traversed through the swampy, jungle terrain, she stopped, looked back at the Dragon Temple one last time for a few seconds, then continued on with her journey of self-discovery. Suddenly, a group of Flood Unversed emerged from the shadows and surrounded the black dragoness.
Not far from where Cynder was, a blue portal of light opened up and out stepped Shara in her Keyblade Armor. The portal of light closes and Shara's Keyblade Armor magically disappears in a flash of light. Shara looks around her surroundings and found herself in the jungle outside the Dragon Temple. She soon saw something up ahead and ventured forth to investigate. She was both amazed and shocked by what she saw. She saw a black dragoness surrounded by Unversed.
"Unversed!" Shara exclaims
One of the Flood Unversed jumps toward Cynder for an attack. Shara summoned her Keyblade: Faithful Salvation in her right-hand in a flash of light and jumped toward the Unversed, leaping over the black dragoness. With one fluid strike, Shara struck down the Unversed with a jumping attack. Shara lands infront of Cynder, protecting her from the Unversed.
"Stay back! Let me handle this." Shara says looking back at Cynder
Shara drew her Keyblade to her right-side and held it with both hands as she prepared to fight against the Unversed. Cynder notices Shara's Keyblade in her hands and her eyes widened with surprise.
"A Keyblade! She's a Keyblade Wielder! Just like Ducar!" Cynder gasps
One Flood leaps toward Shara with it's claws ready, but she jumps into the air and casts down the Unversed with a downward slash. Two more Flood try to attack Shara at the same time, but Shara jumps into the air and spins around, swinging her Keyblade at both of the Unversed, taking them both out with a single slash. More Unversed emerge from the shadows and surround Shara. Shara takes her Keyblade in both her hands, holds it infront of her face, then raises it into the air, summoning a large pillar of blue light that shines down on her, creating a wide shockwave that knocks away the Unversed, destroying them in the process.
After all the Unversed were defeated, Cynder approaches Shara.
"That was amazing. Thank you for saving me." Cynder says
"No trouble at all. My name is Shara."
"It's nice to meet you, Shara. I'm Cynder."
"Cynder, what were you doing out here by yourself?" Shara asks
"I was leaving the Dragon Temple to find my place in the world." Cynder says
Cynder looks down at the ground shamefully.
"I don't belong here. Not after what I have done." Cynder says
"From what I hear, you must have had a troubled past." Shara says
"I did." Cynder says
"I'm sorry to hear that, Cynder." Shara says
Shara kneels down to Cynder and places her right-hand on her left-shoulder.
"But you have my full support." Shara says
Cynder looks up at Shara with a slight smile forming on her face.
"Thanks, Shara." Cynder says
"Cynder, might I ask you something?" Shara asks
"Sure. What is it?" Cynder says
"You wouldn't happen to know a boy named Ventus or two men named Terra or Ducar, would you?" Shara asks
"No. I haven't heard anyone named Ventus or Terra. But I do know about a brave warrior named Ducar." Cynder says
Shara was surprised when she heard Cynder mention Ducar.
"Really? That's great. But how do you know about Ducar?" Shara asks
"He helped save me." Cynder says
"Do you know where he is now?" Shara asks
"No. I don't. Last I saw him was weeks ago." Cynder says
"Oh. I see. I must have just missed him." Shara says
"You wouldn't happen to be Ducar's wife, would you?" Cynder asks
"Yes, I am. Did he tell you about me?" Shara asks
"Yep. Ducar told me all about you and your son, Devon. But he seemed really sad. He said that he succumbed to the darkness in his heart. I can almost imagine how he feels." Cynder says
Shara was shocked to hear that Ducar had succumbed to the darkness inside him.
"No." Shara gasps
"Before he left, he said he had his own journey to complete. I'm sure he went off looking for you." Cynder says
Shara nods in understanding, then she stood silently as she prayed for Ducar to remain strong.
"Ducar, please stay strong for me. And for your son." Shara thought to herself
"So, Shara, you're a Keyblade Wielder too?" Cynder asks
"Yes. But how do you know about the Keyblade?" Shara asks
"The Guardians say that our ancestors spoke of mighty, powerful warriors called Keyblade Wielders that possess magical powers." Cynder explains
"I never knew the Keyblade was so well known. Well, thank you, Cynder. for telling me everything." Shara says
"It's the least I could do. But, Shara, why are you here?" Cynder says
"I was sent to look for my friends, Ventus, Terra, and of course my husband, Ducar." Shara says
Shara looks up at the stars in the night sky, wondering where her friend, Aqua was.
"My friend, Aqua, is out there somewhere helping me search for them." Shara says
Shara looks back down at Cynder.
"I was also sent to make sure that the worlds are safe. But after what I just saw, the Unversed are in this world. My duty is to fight off the Unversed and search for my friends, my husband, and a man named Xehanort." Shara says
"Xehanort? I've never heard anyone by that name." Cynder says
"Then he's not here and neither is my husband." Shara says
"Cynder!" A voice calls out
Shara and Cynder look behind them and see Spyro and Sparx approach them. When the duo reached Cynder, Spyro and Sparx instantly noticed Shara.
"Cynder? Is this-" Spyro asks
"Yes, Spyro. This is Ducar's wife, Shara." Cynder says
"Looks like my husband spoke a lot about me." Shara says
"He-he did. It's finally nice to meet you, Shara. I'm Spyro and this is my brother, Sparx."
"Hello beautiful. I can see why Ducar is your lover boy." Sparx says
Shara blushed a little bit to Sparx' comment.
"Ducar told us a lot about you and your son. He said that you were both very special to him." Spyro says
"That's good to know." Shara says
"Cynder, what are you doing out here? It's dangerous." Spyro says
"You shouldn't have followed me, Spyro." Cynder says
"That's good enough for me. See ya!" Sparx says
"Please, don't make this harder for me than it already is." Cynder says
"I'm just trying to understand." Spyro says
"I'm leaving, Spyro, I don't belong here. After all I've done, after all I've put you and Ducar through, I can't stay." Cynder says
"Cynder, nobody blames you for what happened." Spyro says
"I do. Speak for yourself." Sparx says
"Sparx." Spyro says
"No. Sparx is right. And everyday that goes by, I'm reminded of it. Spyro, your place is here, your destiny is here. But mine is somewhere out there for me to find." Cynder says
"Cynder, I don't want you to go." Spyro says
"Me neither. But if you feel you must go, Cynder, I won't hold you back. Good luck. I'm sure you'll find your place in the world." Shara says
"Thanks, Shara. It was nice to finally meet you." Cynder says
Cynder soon turns her attention to Spyro.
"Cynder..." Spyro says
"Good-bye, Spyro." Cynder says
Having said that, Cynder takes her leave as Shara and Spyro watch her go.
"Right. Can we get some sleep now? I've been only sort of half-sleeping, with one eye open for weeks now, alternating eyes of course, it lessens the strain, but I tell ya, it's taken a toll." Sparx says
Sparx' right-eye started to twitch.
"Hey, was this twitch always there?" Sparx asks
Shara and Sparx looked over at Spyro and saw that he was feeling dizzy.
"Spyro? You okay, buddy?" Sparx asks
Suddenly, Spyro falls down on his left-side and falls unconscious.
"Spyro!" Shara cries out
Shara kneels down to Spyro to check up on him.
"Hey... I want to sleep too, but I didn't mean now! Let's at least get inside. It's-It's dark out man, and I don't like it. Hello? Anyone home? Yoo-hoo!?" Sparx says
Suddenly, Shara also began to feel dizzy. She places her right-hand on her forehead while her vision started to get blurry. The dizziness soon overwhelmed her and she falls down on her back, slipping into unconsciousness next to Spyro.
"Aw, c'mon. Not you too. C'mon, guys. You're scaring me now." Sparx says
(Elsewhere)
Shara slowly regained consciousness and she sat upright on the ground. She looked around and found herself in a vast environment with floating platforms. Soon, Spyro regained consciousness and he stood up on all four paws.
"Spyro, you alright?" Shara asks
"Yeah. But where are we?" Spyro says
Suddenly, Shara and Spyro heard a mysterious voice speaking to them.
"Do not be frightened, young dragon and young Keyblade Wielder. You are not alone." The voice says
"Who are you and where are we?" Shara asks
"What is this place?" Spyro asks
"I have summoned you both here so that you might be warned. The Celestial Moons are counting down and time is running out." The voice says
Suddenly, Shara and Spyro began hearing multiple dark voices talking in all directions.
"Make it stop!" Spyro says
In a flash of light, everything that was floating in mid-air instantly stopped moving.
"How did that happen?" Spyro asks
"The Purple Dragon can wield many abilities that others cannot, including time itself. Much like how the Keyblade Wielder can wield abilities that others cannot. Learn to master this ability and you will be able to see things almost before they happen. But... use this gift sparingly, only when circumstances demand. Manipulation of time is not to be done without the utmost care." The voice says
Shara and Spyro look across from where they were and saw that a trail of floating platforms led further into the dreamscape. They jump across the platforms until they come across a large broken building with a red glowing central platform.
"You seemed to have abandoned you're true calling. It is your destiny to harness the powers of the elements. Yet, you possess not." The voice says
"I haven't been able to use my abilities for some time now." Spyro says
"Yes. Right now, your powers lay dormant within you. Let's see if we might not awaken them." The voice says
Spyro steps onto the red glowing platform and closes his eyes.
"Clear your mind, Spyro, and feel the fire that flows through your veins. Allow it's heat to consume you, and breathe with it. Now, rise up, and unleash the firestorm within you!" The voice says
Spyro rises up on his hind legs and hovers in mid-air. Fire began to swirl around the purple dragon, leaving trails of flames. Within moments, Spyro opens his eyes and unleashes a powerful wave of fire.
"Excellent, Spyro. You're a natural. But now that a primal fire rages inside you, show me you have command of it." The voice says
Shara and Spyro look toward an open doorway infront of them which was blocked off by a wall of fire. The fiery wall disappears, allowing the two heroes to proceed further into the dreamscape. The Keyblade Master and the purple dragon walked through the doorway and came upon a ledge which turned out to be a dead end. As they stood there on the ledge, four platforms floated up from the endless abyss below and hovered infront of the two heroes, providing them a path toward another large floating platform up ahead. Shara and Spyro both jumped from platform to platform, making their way up.
When they reached the larger platform, four Stone Trolls stepped down from their pedestals and faced the two heroes armed with stone axes and stone shields. Spyro stepped forward and put his Fire Breath to the test against the Stone Trolls.
One of the Stone Trolls swinged it's axe down on Spyro, but the purple dragon jumps back and blasts it with a fireball. Another Stone Troll tried to attack Spyro with it's axe, but the purple dragon jumps back and unleashes a stream of fire from his mouth, burning the Stone Troll to a crisp. The third Stone Troll tried to ram into Spyro with it's shield, but he jumps over to the right and rams his horns into it's side, knocking it away. Then, Spyro charges at the final Stone Troll with his body enveloped in flames and rams his horns into it, sending the troll flying off the platform.
Four more Stone Trolls stepped down from their pedestals and approached the two heroes. Spyro rises up on his hind legs and hovers in mid-air. Fire began to swirl around the purple dragon, leaving trails of flames. Within moments, Spyro opens his eyes and unleashes a powerful wave of fire, decimating the trolls.
Once the Stone Trolls were dealt with, Shara and Spyro moved on toward the next platform. There, they heard the mysterious voice speaking to them again.
"You have done well, Spyro. Now, let us see if the Keyblade Wielder can master the element of fire." The voice says
Four Stone Trolls stepped down from their pedestals and approached the two heroes. Shara steps forward and summons her Keyblade into her right-hand. She grabs hold of her Keyblade with both hands and held it close to her right-side.
While the Stone Trolls approached her, Shara held her Keyblade close to her face and closed her eyes. Her body began to emit a bright red aura and flames started to engulf both her body and his Keyblade. Just as the Stone Trolls reached her, Shara opened her eyes which briefly had fire burning inside them. She swung her Keyblade around her body, causing flames to swirl around her. She soon swung her Keyblade with a right slash, sending a wall of fire toward the Stone Trolls, making them stagger back.
Shara rushes forward at one of the Stone Trolls with her body cloaked in flames and strikes it with a left slash, slicing the troll in half. One of the Stone Trolls tries to strike Shara with it's axe, but she jumps back into the air and tosses her flaming Keyblade with a twirl. Her Keyblade slices through the Stone Troll with a clean hit across the stomach, then it flies back around like a boomerang and takes out another troll with a slice across it's back just before Shara catches it in her hand. Shara lands back down on the ground with only one Stone Troll left to deal with. Shara aims her Keyblade at the Stone Troll and launches three fireballs from the tip of her Keyblade. Each of the fireballs hit their mark and the Stone Troll disintegrates.
Shara and Spyro moved on to the next platform. There, they encounter four more Stone Trolls that stepped down from their pedestals and approached them. Shara held her Keyblade infront of her face and she began to levitate in mid-air. Shara was encased in a ball of fire and multiple streams of fire began swirling around her entire body. With the fiery power of fire flowing through her body, Shara crosses his arms, then thrusts them out, causing a powerful shockwave of fire to explode from her body, decimating the Stone Trolls in the explosion.
Afterwards, Spyro and Shara come across a building with two dragon statues standing outside. Inside was a chamber that had four different symbols and colors on the walls. In the center of the room was a pool of water. Spyro and Shara walk up to the pool and look into it.
"You have both done well... and now it is time for you to return. But be careful, the enemy approaches." The voice says
"What enemy?" Shara asks
"Wait! You still haven't told us who you are!" Spyro says
"You shall know me as the Chronicler. I am an eternal friend of the Inheritor. Seek me out..." The voice says
"The Inheritor?" Shara asks feeling baffled
Shara and Spyro both saw a tree in the pool just before their vision was blinded by a bright light.
(The Dragon Realms)
Sparx hovered over Shara and Spyro, trying to wake them both up.
"Hello? Anyone home?" Sparx says
Shara woke up and sat upright. She held her head with her right-hand and rose up to her feet. Then, Spyro woke up and he stood up on his feet. The Keyblade Master and the purple dragon both shook their heads, then looked at Sparx.
"Something is happening, Sparx. I'm not sure if we can explain it." Spyro says
"No kidding, while you two were catatonic, this whole place has been hooting and howling. Listen." Sparx says
The trio listened carefully and they heard loud screeches in the air.
"What is that?" Shara asks
Suddenly, Shara, Spyro and Sparx were knocked back by an explosion caused by a Dreadwing who dropped an explosive boulder near them. The trio looked up and saw several Dreadwings in the night sky above them, carrying explosives.
"The temple is under attack! The others are still sleeping! We have to get back!" Spyro exclaims
"Are you crazy? You wanna run towards the danger?" Sparx says
"We're gonna have to find another way in. C'mon." Spyro says
"Right behind you." Shara says
"Ugh. I liked you both better when you were sleeping." Sparx says
Shara, Spyro, and Sparx began making their way toward the Dragon Temple, cutting through the jungle. Eventually, they reach the Dragon Temple and head inside. Just as they enter the main chamber where the Dragon Guardians were once sleeping, a group of Flood Unversed emerged from the shadows and stood infront of them. Shara summoned her Keyblade into her hands and got into battle stance alongside Spyro who rears back and stands alongside her.
One Flood tries to attack Shara with it's claws, but she strikes the Unversed with an uppercut from her Keyblade, knocking it into the air. From there, Shara leaps up and smacks the Unversed back down into the ground with a downward slash from her Keyblade. The Keyblade Master lands crouched down on the ground. She looks ahead of her and saw two more Flood attacking her. Shara knocks away the first Unversed with a roundhouse kick, then takes out the second Unversed with a cartwheel kick.
Spyro charges at a Flood and rams into it with his horns, sending the Unversed flying into a nearby wall. Two Flood try to attack Spyro at the same time, but the purple dragon unleashes a stream of fire upon the Unversed, engulfing them in flames.
Four Floods leap forward at Shara for an attack, intending to strike her all at once. Shara jumps up and performs a spinning attack, swinging her Keyblade at the Unversed, taking them all out with a single swipe. Two more Flood try to attack Shara, but she swings her Keyblade with a right slash, launching an orb of light at the two Unversed. Upon impact, the orb of light explodes in a flash of light, disintegrating both of the Unversed.
Six more Unversed emerged from the shadows and surrounded Shara, forming a circle around her. Shara just stood where she was and held her Keyblade vertically up to her face, keeping a calm exterior. Shara's entire body began to glow with pure light which emitted a bright blue glow. Just as the Unversed moved to attack her, Shara opened her eyes which briefly flashed with a blue light. She raises her Keyblade into the air with both hands and performed a magical spinning attack with trails of light and blue wisps swirling around her. The attack sucked in all of the Unversed and destroyed them.
Spyro and Sparx both looked at Shara in amazement, seeing that she was just as powerful as her husband was.
"Okay, I don't know who's cooler. Shara or Ducar. Aw, who am I kidding? They're both awesome!" Sparx says
After fighting their way through the Unversed, they reach the outside balcony. Further down the walkway, Shara and Spyro both see Ignitus fighting off both the Unversed and the Apes as they surrounded him.
Ignitus rams his head into an ape, sending it flying off the balcony. Four more apes tried to attack Ignitus all at once, but the large dragon unleashes a stream of fire at the apes, burning them to a crisp. He then knocks away an ape with a swipe of his right-claw. A Wild Bruiser Unversed tries to attack Ignitus, but he shoots a fire blast at the Unversed, taking it out with one shot. Four Wild Bruisers emerge from the shadows infront of Ignitus and they all charge at him. Ignitus jumps into the air, dodging the Unversed. While in the air, Ignitus shoots a fireball down at the Unversed, blasting them into oblivion. He lands back onto the balcony and two more Wild Bruisers appear infront of him. Ignitus smacks two Unversed away with a swipe of his tail. More Unversed appear behind Ignitus and attempt to attack him while his back was turned. Ignitus quickly turns around and smacks a Wild Bruiser away with his tail. The Unversed tried to attack Ignitus from all sides, but the large dragon breathes a stream of fire toward the Unversed on the left, then over to the ones on the right, and toward the ones infront of him. Still more Unversed began to appear infront of Ignitus, making the large dragon move back.
"Ignitus!" Spyro cries out
Ignitus looks up toward Spyro.
"Get down here, young dragon! We need your help!" Ignitus says
Ignitus soon notices Shara standing next to Spyro.
"By our ancestors... Could it be?" Ignitus says
While Ignitus was distracted, the Unversed and the Apes pile up on the large dragon, beating him constantly. Shara and Spyro jump down to help Ignitus and the vile creatures turn their attention toward them. Ignitus rises back onto his feet and used his Fire Fury, unleashing a powerful fiery shockwave which decimated all the Unversed and the Apes.
Just when they thought it was over, a large, armored Unversed appears in the air in a flash of darkness above the heroes. This Unversed was known as The Iron Imprisoner. The large Unversed raised it's large, black hammer over it's head and swings it down on the heroes. Shara, Spyro, and Ignitus were knocked back by the force of the hammer as it smashes down infront of them. Shara falls down flat on her stomach while Spyro and Ignitus were sent further away from her, landing on the walkway. Spyro recovers from the attack and saw that Shara was still down on the ground. The purple dragon rushes to her aid, but a wall of dark blue flames suddenly cut off his path from Shara.
"Shara!" Spyro cries out
Shara looked up and saw the dark fire wall that had trapped her on the balcony. She then turns around and saw the Iron Imprisoner towering over her. Shara quickly rose onto her feet, summoned her Keyblade into her hands, and got into battle stance as she prepared to face off against the large Unversed. Spyro, Sparx, and Ignitus could only watch helplessly from the other side of the dark fire wall as Shara faced the Iron Imprisoner alone.
The Iron Imprisoner stuck first by swinging it's hammer down at Shara who backflips away from the Unversed, dodging the hammer as it smashes down on the ground. Shara leaps toward the Iron Imprisoner and strikes with a jumping attack that hits five times. The Iron Imprisoner retaliates by spinning around swinging it's hammer, sending a multiple fire blasts at Shara. The female Keyblade Master stood firm and held her Keyblade above her head with both hands, creating a spherical blue barrier of light that encases her and protects her from the flames. Afterwards, the barrier shatters, sending shards of light flying at the large Unversed, hitting it in numerous places. Each of the shards of light detonate in a series of small explosions, dishing out some damage to the Unversed.
The Iron Imprisoner sinks into the ground and it's shadow heads straight for Shara. Before the Iron Imprisoner could attack, Shara jumps back and teleports away just as the Iron Imprisoner bursts out of the ground. She soon reappears in the air above the Iron Imprisoner and dives down on the large Unversed, summoning a large pillar of light that beams down on the Unversed. Shara teleports down to the ground and tosses her Keyblade with a right-toss, sending the Keyblade flying toward the Unversed. The Keyblade shines with a blue light as it soars toward the Unversed. Within moments, the Keyblade lands a direct hit at the chest of the Iron Imprisoner, leaving it weakened and dazed by the attack.
While the Unversed was stunned, Shara aims her Keyblade at the Iron Imprisoner and fires a salvo of rainbow-colored orbs at the Unversed. The Iron Imprisoner was hit multiple times by the orbs, being struck in numerous places. The Iron Imprisoner disintegrates in a blaze of dark blue flames and the fight was finished.
The wall of dark fire that had trapped Shara dims down and disappears, allowing her to head on over to Spyro, Sparx and Ignitus.
"Is everyone alright?" Ignitus asks
Ignitus looks around and notices that Cynder wasn't with Shara and Spyro.
"Where's Cynder?" Ignitus asks
Shara, Spyro, and Sparx look at each other, then look back at Ignitus.
(Moments later)
Shara, Spyro, Sparx, Ignitus, Terrador, Cyril, and Volteer met up in the Dragon Temple within the main chamber near the Pool of Visions.
"Ah. You must be Shara. Ducar's wife. Your husband spoke much of you." Ignitus says
"So I've heard. It's nice to meet you, Ignitus." Shara says
"I'm certain that someday in time, we'll meet your son, Devon." Ignitus says
"I feel the same way." Shara says
"From what I saw, you must be a Keyblade Wielder, correct?" Ignitus asks
"Yes. I am." Shara says
"We are very grateful to you, Shara, for helping us defend the Dragon Temple." Ignitus says
"Yes. You're skills with the Keyblade are encouraging." Cyril says
"Both you and your husband." Terrador says
"Thanks, Cyril. Thanks, Terrador. It's a shame to hear that my husband had succumbed to the darkness in his heart, but I believe he will succeed in defeating it. I have faith in my him." Shara says
The group turned their attention to the Pool of Visions to see if they could find out where Cynder had gone.
"See anything, Ignitus?" Spyro asks
"No... I can't see where Cynder has gone... Just darkness." Ignitus says
"Wait. Cynder, darkness, aren't they the same thing?" Sparx asks
Suddenly, Ignitus sees something in the Pool of Visions.
"What's this? Something is coming into focus." Ignitus says
In the pool, Ignitus saw a vision of Shara and Spyro standing infront of a great tree.
"This is peculiar. I see you and Shara standing at the base of a great tree. Admist a lake of mist and gloom." Ignitus says
"A tree! We've seen that tree! Me and Shara. In our dreams. Only to me, they usually feel more like nightmares." Spyro says
"Young dragon, you've been keeping secrets. What is it that you see in these dreams?" Ignitus says
"I'm sorry, Ignitus. I thought they would go away, but they only get worse." Spyro says
"Relax, Spyro. Think." Ignitus says
Spyro closes his eyes and tries to remember what he saw in his dreams.
"I see... a mountain draped in shadow. A face of stone beneath two moons... and darkness." Spyro says
"The Mountain of Malefor." Terrador says
"There was another, but it was more like I was seeing into the past and the future all at once. And there was a voice calling himself The Chronicler. That's when we saw the tree." Spyro says
"Impossible." Terrador says
"The Chronicler?" Cyril asks baffled
"He also mentioned of another being called The Inheritor." Spyro says
"The Inheritor?" Ignitus asks
"I don't believe it, either. I've not heard either of those names in ages." Volteer says
"Nor has anyone. But there is no way that Spyro or Shara could have known. And this Inheritor. This is fascinating." Ignitus says
"Who is the Chronicler?" Spyro asks
"The Chronicler is an ancient dragon of immeasurable wisdom. The Inheritor however is new to me. Though I've only heard stories. In fact, I've had my doubts as to legitimacy of the tales. Yet now, I am left to wonder." Ignitus says
"As are we all. But if it is true, it is unsettling that the reemergence of the Chronicler would coincide with an attack on the temple. Not to mention these other visions that Spyro and Shara are having." Terrador says
"Yes...very. Tales of the Chronicler are often interwoven with tales of doom. Though I am uncertain about the Inheritor." Ignitus says
"Oh, goodie! I was afraid we might have to spend the rest of the night without anymore doom." Sparx says sarcastically
(Moments later)
Shara, Spyro, Sparx, and the four Dragon Guardians head outside onto the balcony and they all look up toward two moons, both of which were different in color. One was a purple color while the other was turquoise. From the way it looked, it seemed that the two moons would align with each other.
"It was only a matter of time, Ignitus. We've all felt it. A great evil is on the horizon." Volteer says
"Perhaps, but we mustn't rush to judgment. This evening has brought about many unexplained things." Ignitus says
"We may not have time, Ignitus. The celestial moons are almost at an eclipse, this we know for certain. We must prepare for the worst. The Night of Eternal Darkness draws nigh." Cyril says
"Your instincts, though faint of heart, are true. We are no longer safe here. This recent attack is likely the first of many. The forces of the Ape King and Lord Thanatos now know of Spyro and Shara's existence and they will not rest until they witness their demise." Terrador says
"Lord Thanatos?" Shara asks
"From what Ducar has told us, Lord Thanatos is an evil, powerful being that controls fearsome, unimaginable power. We assumed he had perished when the World of Convexity collapsed in on itself, but apparently he somehow managed to survive. Knowing him, he is probably the one in control of the Ape King and his forces. And with the Night of Eternal Darkness approaching, there is no doubt that Lord Thanatos will become even more powerful." Terrador says
"I'm afraid Terrador is right. As uncertain as things are, none of us can remain idle and watch as our worst fears unfold before us." Ignitus says
Ignitus looks left at Volteer.
"Volteer, you and Cyril must go to the mainland to learn what news you can." Ignitus says
Ignitus looks right at Terrador.
"Terrador, make haste to the Shattered Vale and warn the inhabitants of that region that darkness is spreading in Malefor. I shall stay and search for Cynder. These are dangerous times for a dragon to be wandering about. Especially with Lord Thanatos and his dark creatures on the move. I fear what might happen if he finds her first. May our ancestors look after us and keep us safe... in these dark times." Ignitus says
"What should we do, Ignitus?" Shara asks
Ignitus looks down at Shara and Spyro.
"Shara, you and Spyro must travel by another path and seek out the tree from your dream. If the stories of the Chronicler and the Inheritor are true, there may be hope for us yet. And I think I know where to begin." Ignitus says
(Moments later)
Shara, Spyro, Sparx, Terrador, Cyril and Volteer set out with their given tasks.
"There is an Ancient Grove within the forest at the end of the Silver River. It is a secret place untouched by civilization. The waters there are poisonous, as well as the creatures who are nurtured by it but you shouldn't encounter any real danger except for the Unversed. Trust your instincts. I shall be waiting for you both here at the temple when your task is complete." Ignitus says
Author's Note: It's now Shara's turn to visit the Dragon Realms! Shara meets Cynder and saves her from the Unversed. Then, she meets Spyro and Sparx. Cynder leaves and both Shara and Spyro enter the dreamscape where they hear the voice of the Chronicler. Soon after, the Dragon Temple is attacked by the Unversed and the Apes, but Shara and Spyro manage to help the Dragon Guardians fend them off. They then explain to Ignitus, Terrador, Cyril, and Volteer about what happened in their dream, about hearing the Chronicler's voice who spoke of the Inheritor. Hold the phone! The Inheritor?! How does he come into this? Seems the Inheritor is quite famous. Anyway, with the Eternal Night of Darkness approaching, Shara and Spyro set out in search for the Chronicler, and supposedly the Inheritor in the Ancient Grove, thus beginning their journey together. Let's see how this turns out. Let me know what you guys think. No flames please. Hope you guys like and don't forget to review!
