As the two were getting closer to the ground, Ryu took a sharp turn up and through the trees. Thomas did it too but came up to late. "No!" and smacked into the ground and then came into a slamming stop by a tree. Ryu took the chance and flew away. Thomas was beyond angry and roared loudly. Ryu heard him and felt good but then, started to cry at the loss of his fathers death. It was so sudden that Reuben died, but he died protecting his family. "I will avenge you dad...I promise..." ryu though in his mind. Almost an hour or so later, Cynder and Sparxs made it to the island where Spyro was born on. They flew over the mushroom swamp and soon saw the temple. "Ah...This bring's back memories, especially with Spyro." cynder said as she overlooked the swamp and temple.
"Yeah, it dose...Heh, it was such a long time since me and him actually played together here." sparxs replied.
"Even if you still think your all high and mighty huh?" cynder giggled.
"Hey!"Cynder laughed and dove down to the temple balcony. Not far behind was Ryu who saw them and sped up to catch them. He soon got there and landed as well, but went off to go lay down. Cynder looked back and walked to him. She nuzzled him. "You alright sweety?" she asked. But she felt that his face was a little wet and saw his eyes. She immediately got worried, "Ryu...W-where is your father?..." she asked almost scared. Ryu just stood silent and shook his head. Cynder gasped and covered her mouth. "No...No...No..." cynder said,on the verge of tears. She kept shaking her head in disbelief. "Are you sure he is?...He may s-still be alive...He could be hurt..." cynder tried to convince herself but she burst into tears. Ryu hugged and nuzzled her. They held each other. Sparxs left the room to give them privacy. "Im such an idiot!" sparxs said to himself and punched the wall. Sparxs felt absolutely guilty, because it was his fault Reuben died today. He knew that he would be followed back to where Cynder was and he knew that Thomas would follow but he paid no attention. He lead Thomas straight to them. After awhile once things with Cynder and Ryu cooled down, Sparxs went to them. "Hey guys. I need to leave so I can tell Spyro what was going on. Ok?" sparxs explained.
"Yes,please go. He needs to know, but try to take it easy with him ok..." cynder replied.
"I will Cynder."
"And if Thomas should find this place, where do we go?" ryu asked.
"Head west and through the swamp. It will take you to my village. My Mom will help." sparxs said and went outside.
"Thank you so much Sparxs." thanked cynder.
"Your welcome." he said then flew away and off to warfang. He needed to hurry and get back and tell Spyro before Thomas dose or it will take a turn for the worse. But back at Warfang, Spyro was already getting ready to leave, at least until Draco stepped in the way. "No. You are not allowed to leave until Thomas returns. You will stay." draco ordered. Spyro growled and narrowed his eyes. "I dont take orders from you Draco. Anyone else but you."
"Enough!" terrador yelled. "Spyro you must stay until Thomas arrives. You are still considered a traitor for letting Cynder escape. Now I know that there is bad blood being stirred up between you two but dont act like a hatchling."
"Yes you must obey. He is a guardian, but its true. You need to stay. Besides, we could use some of your help around here." volteer added. Spyro sighed and bowed to Terrador and Volteer. "Of course Master Guardians." spyro spoke before leaving the room. After the guardians found out that Cyril and Thomas raped Cynder, they couldn't do anything to Thomas. He was a Elder dragon and guardian. And in the case of Cynder killing Cyril, a guardian, is a far worse crime then rape. If she was still evil and had an army when she killed Cyril, it meant war. But luckily she isn't. Ember saw Spyro walking down the hall and she ran to him, "Hey Spyro! You leaving already?" she asked.
"No.." he replied with a sigh.
"Oh ok. Cause I thought you were going to go see that murderous bitch, Cynder." ember smirked. Spyro stopped immediately after what she said and looked at the ground. "Spyro, I still don't understand why you save her? Shes not your friend, she is evil and always have been. She was going to be killed but nope. You had to save her. Your just as much of a traitor as she i-" but ember was cut off when spyro slammed his tail into her head, sending her flying into the wall. He walked away. The guardians left the room and they saw what happened, same with Flame as he came by. "Ember!" The guardians ran to her as she picked herself up. "Ember, are you alright?" terrador asked.
"Yeah, but im going to get Spyro for that" she huffed and walked right past everyone and after spyro. "Something is going on with Spyro, what do you think it is Terrador?" volteer asked.
"Im sure..." he replied. The group followed Spyro and soon, they saw Ember walking to Spyro was was in the mess hall about to eat. Ember approached him and snatched his food away. "Here, let me help you warm up your food." she said as she breathed a burning flame on his food and charred it. She set it down in front of him and chuckled. Spyro got up and headed for the door. Before he did, he stopped right next to Ember, placing his head next to hers. "Ember. You better stop messing with me. Stop saying any comments about Cynder, cause if you do...I will not hesitate to kill you. Understood?" he threatened. She nodded slowly then he walked off. The guardians and Flame got out of the way for him. Flame gulped. Draco turned to Ember and asked, "Ember?...Are you ok?" She said nothing but walk out of the room silently. They saw that she was shaking. "Flame...I need you to try and talk to Spyro please. Calm him down if you can." terrador asked.
"I will. I know he'll listen to me. I hope.." flame looked down.
"Now now Flame. Im sure he will. Now go on" volteer spoke convincingly. Flame nodded and ran after Spyro. SPyro was leaving the temple. The diffrent dragons that walked past him were either afraid or angry because of the choice he made. Some actually think that he sided with Cynder. But one dragon stepped in his way. "Hey there Spyro, where are you going?"
"Please get out of my way." spyro said irritably.
"Hmm..No I dont think I should. But you should move, somewhere where no one can ever see your face ever again. You may be the purple dragon." the dragon said and shoved spyro back. "But you are a traitor to us all. Cynder killed a guardian and she is still evil. She may even attack any of us!" he yelled. Other dragons cheered a bit for his words. A couple more dragons stood in Spyros way. "Yeah! You are a traitor!" More dragons started surrounding Spyro and his eye started to twitch a bit. The first dragon that approached Spyro looked at him straight in the eye and almost jumped as he saw a flash of Spyro's dark form. Spyro popped his neck and sighed heavily. Later as Flame caught up, he heard screaming and crying. "No...Spyro you better not have.." he thought. As he came apon the entrance, he saw many dragons on the ground bleeding, bruised, burnt or knocked out. He saw a dragoness crying over one. "Miss, whats wrong?" he asked.
"Spyro killed him!" she cried. It was the same dragon that approached Spyro in the first place. Flame ran outisde to see dragons in the skies. They were trying to look for Spyro. Flame took to the air and began searching too but he saw Spyro barely. He went down into an alley way. Flame flew after him and stopped at the edge off the alley. "Spyro? Come on out." flame said. He saw Spyro leap up and climbed up the wall of the building and up to the roof. Flame took to the air and stopped him before he could fly away. "Spyro stop!"
"Flame, leave me alone...Please." spyro said as he looked down.
"No, I hurt those other dragon...I even killed one but I didn't want to. They got in my way! They started talking about Cynder an-" Flame hugged him tightly and licked his neck. "Spyro, I know you didn't mean it...I completely understand. You just need to come back to the temple and explain yourself." Spyro nodded and kissed Flame. He kissed back deeply and passionately. Spyro has been getting pushed around all day ever since he came back. But Ember and dragons like the one he killed, were defiantly against him. And Draco was not helping either...so much bad blood was being stirred in Warfang...
