We awoke in mine and Cynder's room the next day. We had been too tired to look around but now I did. The room was in fact the same room from our childhood but with several differences. The bed was bigger to allow all three of us to sleep on it, the shelves now had a lot more books so we had something to do, the box that once held little toys was now filled with armor, and there was something in the corner. I approached the corner and found a dark crystal like the ones in mom's cave. "Hey Cynder look what dad left us." I said as I woke up Cynder. "What did he leave us?" asked Cynder. I pointed to the crystal and Cynder immediately recognized it. "Why would dad leave us a communication crystal?" Cynder asked as Mysty awoke and cleared out her teeth of poison, when she slept her teeth slowly filled with poison. "What is a communication crystal?" asked Mysty. "It is a modified dark crystal that allows two dragons from different parts of the world communicate." I said. "What is it doing here?" asked Mysty. "I think dad wants us to use dark magic to allow it to communicate with his essence while in the well of souls." I said. "Well we shouldn't keep dad waiting." Cynder said jokingly, though she knew that I was going to activate the crystal. "Ok lets activate this thing then." I said. Me and Cynder walked up to the crystal and placed our paws on it as we started chanting for a moment. When our chanting was finished the crystal started to glow dark purple. "I am surprised that you two actually activated this crystal." dad said. "Well we where wishing to speak to someone other than the only other dragon in here so you left us with no choice." I said, The real reason was instinct. "May I speak with the one you call Mysty?" dad asked, me and Cynder stepped to the side and let Mysty talk. "Alright dark master what do you want." Mysty said. dad mumbled something that I couldn't here but Mysty could. "Are you crazy we're not old enough to feel that way." Mysty said. "I can look into the future and it will happen just remember what I said." dad said. "Why give me information that could end your life in the future?" Mysty asked. "While I may be evil I still have a heart and still want my family to be happy, so if I have to possibly give up a plan I will." dad said. "Fine and I will let you talk to your children now." Mysty said annoyed, I knew I wasn't getting answers out of her. "What did you want dad." Cynder said. "I simply wanted you to know that I know that you have feelings for Spyro." dad whispered, I had already known that. "I do not." Cynder said mockingly, she wasn't going to deny it but she also wasn't going to say that it was true. "Well that doesn't matter right now so I will talk to you again after my return." dad said as the crystal faded out.
After a few minutes an ape walked in. "Have you three spoken with master yet?" the ape asked. "Yes we have so Why are you asking." I said. "Gual wishes to speak with you three." the ape said. "Oh great we get to talk to that idiot again." Cynder said. After a few minutes we arrived at Gaul's throne room. "First off expect this daily." Gual said. "I understand why you brought Cynder and Inferno here but why me." said Mysty. "Because you will hinder master from controlling everything but for some reason he wants you alive." Gual said angrily. "Ok with that out of our way, Why have you brought us into this room." I said. "To give you a choice. Join us once again or die." Gual said. "I don't think your master would wish for us to be dead." Cynder said. "Why not?" asked Gual. "Because he is our father." I said. "What!" screamed Gual. "Don't believe us then perhaps you will believe them." Cynder said as me and Cynder gave our evil selves control. "It is true little whelp." I said as Evil Inferno gave back control. "No it can't be." Gual managed to say while he was frozen from surprise. "You know, we could escape right now but we do wish to see how all this plays out." I said. I think we broke Gual because I have never seen an ape this frozen. I said. I wish we literally broke him but oh well. Cynder said. "Well I still have one more thing with you three so guards rake them to where I want." Gual said. The guards blind-folded us and started bringing us to some place. After a while the blind-folds came off and we found ourselves in a large arena. "Not this again." I said as a young but evil dragoness came through the doors. "What is this place?" asked Mysty. "The arena that we were taken to so that we could be forced to kill off prisoners but I don't feel fazed by having to kill a dragoness so young." I said. It took us less than two minutes to kill the dragoness and walk back to our room. "Wow I think that you two need to take a break from killing anything." Mysty said. "We'll work on that later but for now I think that we're going to just rest." I said. After that we just went to sleep, all of us where worn out from that battle since we had barely rested. As I laid down I felt the pull of time as I was pulled through it. "What was that about?" I asked. "No need to be afraid Inferno." Shard said. "I am not afraid but why did you drag me through time." I said. "To teach you the power of the guardian of the purple dragon as it might come in handy one day." Shard said. "Ok I guess." I said. "Close your eyes and focus on the world around you." Shard said, I did just that. "Now focus on the timeline and rip a hole within it." Shard said. I focused as I felt instinct take over. I ripped open time as I shot my eyes open and unfolded my wing. I large black-hole opened above me as I targeted the dummies that had appeared and watched them get sucked into the black-hole. "Good now repair the timeline to stop the black-hole." Shard said. I did just that and quickly closed the black hole. "Thanks." I said as I felt time pull me back in, the attack had left me almost completely drained so I knew to use it only in emergencies..
A/N: I hope that you all like this chapter though it may seem like a filler. I wonder what Malefor said to Mysty. (Post in a review what you think he said.) Inferno has learned one of the hidden powers of the guardian of the purple dragon so I can't wait for him to use that in combat.
