Here is Chapter 14! ENJOY!

"NO! NOBODY IS KILLING MY FATHER!" Spyro yelled as Malefor stepped towards Ignitus.

Spyro jumped in between Malefor and Ignitus.

"GET OUT OF MY WAY!" Malefor yelled to Spyro as he knocked him sideways with his paw.

He then stepped towards Ignitus, who stood his ground.

"Your time has come Guardian." Malefor announced.

"Then give it to me." Ignitus replied coldly.

Malefor raised his paw to kill Ignitus, and the fire Guardian braced himself for the deadly blow, but it never came. Ignitus opened his eyes to find that there was a long piece of ice, with poison lacing it, going through Malefor's body.

"SPYRO!" Cynder yelled when she realized what had happened.

Spyro was six paces away, and breathing heavily. Malefor looked over to him, and then collapsed.

Malefor was dead.

Cynder was completely shocked. "Spyro… You killed… You killed Malefor?"

He nodded slowly, in complete disbelief himself, then collapsed. Then Cynder collapsed.

"What?" Ignitus couldn't believe the sight before him. Malefor dead at his feet, and Spyro and Cynder a few paces away, both unconscious. "No! Spyro! Don't die! PLEASE MY SON, BE ALRIGHT!"

Their dark scales began lightening, and the dark aura around them disappeared. After a few moments Spyro woke up, and instantly leapt into Ignitus' arms.

"I'm sorry Ignitus, I'm so sorry." Spyro said. Ignitus looked down at him, and found tears spilling out of Spyro's eyes.

"Spyro-"

"No, you can't forgive me. I killed the other Guardians!" Spyro yelled.

"Spyro. Calm down." Ignitus soothed. "After you calm down we can talk."

"Ok." Spyro said before taking a deep breath to calm his nerves. "Ok.. I'm ready." He said after a few moments.

"Alright. Tell me everything that happened since you left to find Cynder."

"Alright." Spyro said, took another deep breath, and began his story as he remained in Ignitus' arms.

After an hour of talking, Spyro realized he was forgetting something.

"Wait! Where is Cynder?!" Spyro asked worriedly. "Did she wake up?!"

"No my son, she did not." Ignitus replied as he looked over to Cynder's unconscious body.

Spyro jumped out of Ignitus' arms, and leapt towards Cynder.

"CYNDER!" He yelled as he got to her. "Cynder, my darling, are you alright?"

He leaned down, and nudged her with his head. But nothing happened.

"I know what I have to do." Spyro said, then laid down next to Cynder, his stomach to hers. He wrapped his wings around her, and then his body began to glow a brilliant purple. Ignitus couldn't see what was going on, but he knew it was important. After a few minutes of the glowing, the light dissipated, revealing a surprising sight. There, next to Spyro, wasn't a black dragoness, but a purple one instead. Ignitus was completely speechless.

Cynder slowly opened her eyes, and saw Spyro in front of her. She instantly threw her arms around him.

"I'm sorry Spyro." She said with her faced buried in his chest.

"Why are you sorry?"

"Because I almost gave up. While I was out, I found myself in a strange room… In that room there were two doors. One black, and one white. I knew what was down each, and I almost gave up and chose the wrong one. But then I heard your voice. I heard your voice and followed it, I followed it down the white door, back to you."

"What did my voice say?"

"It asked me to come back to you. It said that you couldn't live without me… it said 'I love you Cynder'."

"So you got my message?" Spyro said and then bust out laughing.

Cynder joined in, and then saw a paw that she didn't recognize.

"Wait. Whose paw is-" She then realized that it was her paw. She looked down at her body and saw only purple, no black. "I'm purple?"

"I guess so." Spyro answered with a chuckle.

"But… Why?"

"Well. While you were unconscious, I had a feeling that you weren't going to make it. So I gave some of my power to you, and I guess that turned you purple."

"Ok.." Cynder said before trying to stand up, but she fell back down.

"Cynder? What's wrong?" Spyro asked her.

Cynder began to blush. "Well… I was corrupted before I learned to stand up. I guess I never really learned how."

Spyro laughed. "Well then, I'll help you!"

"Thank you Spyro."

Spyro helped Cynder up, and then looked to Ignitus as the purple dragoness leaned on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry Ignitus." Spyro said sadly. "I hope you can forgive us."

"My son, you were under Malefor's influence." Ignitus told him. "You did kill the other Guardians, but you weren't in full control of your actions."

"Thank you Ignitus." Cynder said for them both.

"Don't thank me yet. We still need to get through the rest of the grublins." Ignitus told her.

"That's easy." Spyro bragged, then manipulated the light around him, making him seem corrupted again.

"NO! SPYRO!" Ignitus yelled thinking the worst.

"Wait Ignitus. It's still me." Spyro said calming Ignitus.

"Oh."

"Umm… Spyro?"

"Yeah Cynder?"

"We are gonna have to figure out a different plan."

"Why?"

Cynder blushed really hard this time. "I can't use my elements."

"Oh." Spyro said. "So you're back to square one huh?"

"Appears so." She said.

"Well hop on my back and act unconscious. If you don't mind."

"Ok." Cynder said as she was helped by Ignitus up onto Spyro's back.

"Spyro, what are you going to do?" Ignitus asked.

"You'll see." Spyro said as he changed Cynder's scale color.

Spyro then walked through the door, with Cynder on his back. He didn't see the grublin army, but he knew Malefor probably just told them to wait around the corner. He rounded the corner, and was attacked by a few grublins that were waiting to give anyone that came by a sneak attack. He quickly killed them and acted angry.

"WHAT WAS THAT?!" He yelled to the rest of the army. "WHO GAVE YOU THE ORDER TO DO THAT?!"

One of the grublins made a gurgling sound, and Spyro had no idea what it said, so he guessed.

"NOBODY?!" He screamed angrily.

The grublin nodded.

Before Spyro could say anything else, the floor underneath the grublins opened up, and every last one of them fell into the bottomless pit.

"What happened?" Ignitus asked as he came out of the store room. "Where did they all go?"

"Well, this giant pit thing appeared, and all of the grublins fell into it. Then the pit closed back up." Spyro replied.

Cynder opened her eyes, and laughed a little. "You're a pretty good actor, my love."

"Ahem." Ignitus reminded Cynder of his presence.

"Oh! Ignitus! I'm sorry. I didn't see you there!"

"That's quite alright, Cynder." Ignitus said.

"So what do we do now?" Cynder asked. "Malefor has been defeated. There isn't any more evil."

"Rebuild I guess…" Spyro said. "Make amends."

"Well nobody has to know that you were on Malefor's side. You will only need to rebuild your trust with me." Ignitus said. "Although, Hunter may know already."

"What?! Why would he know?" Spyro asked.

"Hunter must have been what was in that bush." Cynder said.

"Oh.. Yeah probably." Spyro said.

"Thank you Ignitus." Cynder said as she turned to face him. "For everything."

"You're quite welcome Cynder."

Cynder quickly relearned how to walk, and fly. After that Spyro helped her learn the elements, starting with the four basic elements, then the dark elements. After a week of learning how to use her elements to their fullest, she helped rebuild the temple, for it had been almost completely destroyed during the attack. Hunter returned half way through the rebuilding, and Ignitus explained the whole situation to him. After hearing the whole story, Hunter thought it was reasonable to give Spyro his trust, although he made sure to watch his back around the two formerly corrupted dragons. A few years later, they turned eighteen, became mates, and had a little black hatchling a short time after. They built themselves a small home in the Valley of Avalar, and began a new life there.

Ten years later

"Coal?!" Cynder yelled. "Where are you?!"

Coal left the shadows behind Cynder. "Right here Mom!" He yelled.

Cynder whirled around. "AHH! Oh. DON'T DO THAT!"

"Mom you should be able to tell where I am. You have the shadow element too, remember?" Coal said.

"Be nice to your Mother, Coal." Spyro said as he walked into his home. "She can take away your desert."

"Hmm. Maybe I will." Cynder said with a smirk.

"Wait! I'm sorry! Please don't!"

Spyro and Cynder bust out laughing.

"Hey! That's not funny!" Coal yelled.

"Alright, alright. We're stopping." Spyro said as he slowly came out of his fit. "Hey Coal, come with me, I gotta show you something."

"And where might you be going?" Cynder asked Spyro.

"We talked about this earlier, remember?"

"Oh! Yeah!" Cynder remarked. "Now I remember. Have fun!"

"Thanks, Mom!"
