Bianca went towards them and tried hard to remember how Spyro spoke.

"Hi there, ladies"-she said, knowing it sounded really awkward.

The two dragonesses rushed towards the one both thought was their loved one and hugged her really hard.

"You came back for me, my hero?"-said Ember just to piss off Cynder.

"Oh, Spyro, you don't know how much I missed you! You should have seen me as I gave your captor a beating"-said Cynder.

Bianca didn't know how to react at the two dragonesses' statements, so she just played along them.

"We must go towards the Sorceress' lair and beat her. You two must help me"-said Bianca.

Ember nodded. Cynder would have noticed how strange Spyro's statement was if she wasn't so angry with Ember, who was still hugging Spyro. She wondered how Spyro could let her hug him that way.

"Spyro is mine, you bastard!"-said Cynder.

Bianca saw that both dragonesses were just about to fight again and said something just to calm them up until they reached the Sorceress' lair.

"Shut up you both!"-she said. "We're not discussing who am I of, but we must save the world now. So stay silent and let's beat that nasty sorceress!"

Ember looked at Cynder with victory eyes. Cynder knew that moment something wrong was going on. Then she remembered.

"You're still under Ember's enchantment!"-she said. "I will save you, Spyro!"

And saying this, she threw a shadow attack to Ember, what she received and hit her hard.

Bianca's blood froze when she heard the word "enchantment", and she realized Cynder could notice who she was. She had to disappear. She went quickly to help Ember and looked at Cynder with reproving eyes.

"What have you done!" -said Bianca. "She is no sorceress. She is not guilty of anything! I am who I am, don't you get it?"

Cynder stepped back feeling really uncomfortable. Was this true? Has Spyro changed once for all? He certainly was a little different, but definitely he didn't seem bewitched. Did he not love her more? Cynder's eyes watered and she started to cry waterfalls. As Spyro's eyes weren't changing, she thought she had to leave him alone. Ember won. She felt really defeated but it was his decision. She felt her dark side awakening once more.

"No"-she thought. "I've lost. I have to let him go"

The pain in her heart was getting greater and greater. Her heart's dark side that had been mostly dormant for long time was pushing to break the wall Spyro had risen to cage it long time ago. Cynder tried to trap it longer, but it was too hard. No. It was useless.

"Get away, Cynder"-said Bianca looking at her frowning. "And don't ever come back"

Cynder could feel how something inside her broke as she heard the one who she thought was her purple dragon's statement. Her heart was divided into two. Her good side was being swollen now that Spyro had told her to leave from his life. She wanted to minimize his words, but Spyro meant everything to her.

Finally, before her whole good part of the heart was swollen, she rushed far away inside the castle not to kill them both –though she knew this retreat was not going to last forever. Her return would be unforgettable.

Sparx was getting really tired of flying so fast evading Spyro's bites and knew one moment or another he would have to let go.

Suddenly, he saw a small hole and he just went inside. Luckily, it was really deep. Spyro put his claw inside it and he couldn't reach his best friend. It was impossible. Sparx was safe –by now.

They stood like that for an hour until Spyro heard The Sorceress' call. He left with his work undone and Sparx sighed in relief.

After fifteen minutes or so, he dared to check out if everything was ok in the outside. When he was sure the coast was clear, he flew soundless to Elora's chamber.

He entered it careful not to be seen, and saw she was crying helplessly. When Sparx knew there was no danger for him there, he remembered the technique he had been taught a long time ago and opened the cage as careful as an expert. When Elora heard those sounds, she covered herself with her arms.

"Don't panic, Elora"-said Sparx. "I'm here to save you"

Elora saw his hero and hugged him really hard. As Sparx was a tiny dragonfly, he really suffered the act of affection.

"Thank you so much, Sparx"-she said. "I will always be grateful to you"

"No need to, strong faun"-said Sparx recovering from the hug. "But I still wonder why they didn't harm you".

"I guess she just used me to make Spyro suffer."-answered Elora. "As you may see, they thought I was his girlfriend. What the Sorceress and all her henchmen didn't know was that it was the Spyro from my dimension the one who had a certain crush for me. *But the Sorceress confuses the Spyro from this Dimension with the Spyro you know*. Now Spyro is her slave, she saw killing me as a waste of time."

Sparx heard all of her speech as if they were not still in imminent danger and said:

"Yeah, that's cool but, Can we escape now? I've got the feeling that we're just about to be trapped again"

"Sure, Sparx"-said Elora.

Both rushed with the highest stealth possible in the direction they thought was the castle's next exit. They knew they had to do something to save Spyro, but what? He was the hero. Now that he was gone, everything seemed helplessly lost.

I hope you liked this chapter. Where the asterisks (*) are, I really meant to write "But the Sorceress didn't read Spyro and the Dimensional Paradox", but I found it too out of place. However, I believe it would have be fun to read that. Whatever. This update was really fast! See ya later!
