After being beat up, Josiah went to his room to clean himself up. Just after he finished, he was called to a meeting, and when he got there, he found everyone else there, waiting.
Josiah looked amazing with his brilliant yellow scales shining in the light (coming from the window). "You washed up fast," commented Stardust.
"Of course I did!"
"This meeting wasn't called to watch you two fight, it was called because another piece of Rebecca's memory has returned to her," said Terrador.
"Yes Terrador, my mistake," Stardust responded immediately, but not without a glance at Josiah that told him that he wouldn't get away next time. Josiah made himself not look at her.
Later, in the meeting
… "And there is a great evil that I have defeated so many times but never permanently. His name is Conner. He is rising again," Rebecca said.
Spyro and Cynder looked at each other wide-eyed. They had completely forgotten about the evil that Rebecca once spoke of. Probably why she brought it up again. But the two were frightened.
"Is he worse than Malefor?" Spyro finally decided to ask.
"Malefor?" Rebecca questioned.
"You.. don't know who he is?" asked Cynder in return. She thought that since Rebecca hadn't said anything about not knowing about it in their first meeting, she knew who he was.
"No."
"Then perhaps it's time you learned," said Terrador.
The story of Spyro and Cynder was then told.
"Wow! You two were very brave," Rebecca commented.
"Yes they were," Cyril agreed.
Both Spyro and Cynder blushed. "Oh it was nothing really.." Spyro said modestly.
"Oh, but it was everything!" Terrador spoke up.
"He's right. We wouldn't be here if it weren't for you," added Volteer.
Spyro just blushed some more.
"I'm curious.. What year is it?" asked Rebecca.
"It's 4023; why do you ask?" said Volteer.
Rebecca twitched and fainted.
That afternoon, Rebecca awoke in her bed and saw someone standing near her. She made it out to be Volteer.
"Oh, you're up!" he cried as she lifted her head.
"Yeah, I am," she replied, unspazzed.
"Whatever caused you to pass out like that? We had to decided to have a break after it happened, so that we could continue when you came to," Volteer told her.
"3028.." She mumbled in return.
"3028..?" Volteer questioned.
"The year I was thrown aside as though I was nothing. Beaten and battered. Meant never to wake again. 1000 years."
"But that's not possible!" Volteer objected. "No creature can live that long!"
"I wasn't living, Volteer!" Rebecca cried. Her shout was beginning to draw the others. "I was gone! If Spyro and Cynder had not found me, then no-one would have! I was dead! But somehow I am alive now, and we do not continue to live unless there is a purpose to it! I am not finding this purpose! Instead I'm having pointless conferences with you!" she yelled.
"I-I'm sorry! I did not mean to waste your time! Why don't you just go find this guy on your own?" Volteer yelled back.
"Why don't I?" Rebecca shouted. With that Volteer burst out of the open door.
Then Rebecca set her angry gaze on the drawn crowd. "What are you looking at?" she roared, causing the crowd to immediately run to their rooms.
Rebecca looked out her window. 'Soon, I will go. Now, I will re-teach myself to fly,' she thought.
But this would not be as easy as she believed.
