Spyro meets Spyro

What's up? It's Stephanie time! If you thought the last chapter was sad, imagine being in Artisan Spyro's position. Well, there's just one more chapter to go after this!

Old Life, New Life

Artisan Spyro found himself in a large twisted corridor, with Gnasty Gnorc standing at the end. The gnorc ran for his life, but A. Spyro chased him down. He breathed fire on him and chased him through another corridor with the path slowly retracting. He reached the end to find Gnasty begging for his life, he ignored his cries and flamed him again, the gnorc fell dead to the floor. "You're toast, Gnorc! Hehehe....."

"Ahhh!" A. Spyro woke to find himself in one of the guest rooms in L. Spyro's cabin. It was still dark out. "Damn it. I'm sorry, Gnasty Gnorc. You deserved better," he said to himself. He threw the heavy quilt off himself, got off the pile of hay, and made his way to the living room. It has been five days since they battled Gnasty Gnorc, which means it's been six days since they came to this world. In the living room, he saw A. Hunter standing ready next to the eggs. Ever since what happened, the heroes took turns guarding the eggs. "Okay, Hunter, you can get some sleep now."

"Thanks, Man. I'm beat." He saw the troubled look on A. Spyro's face. "Hey, Spyro, you okay?" A. Spyro didn't answer. "You had that dream again, didn't you?" A. Spyro only nodded. "Wanna talk about it?"

"*sigh* I guess so. I was dreaming about the first time I fought Gnasty Gnorc." His voice was filled with regret. "Hunter, it wasn't a battle, it wasn't even a hunt, it was a slaughter! He was running for his life and I chased him down. He tried destroying the path between us, but I wouldn't let him go. As... as I delivered the killing blow, I... taunted him, and then I laughed at him! He was right, we were cruel to him, Hunter."

"Listen, Spyro. Gnasty had a second chance at life, and he was able to die happy. You've made up for it."

"DON'T BE STUPID HUNTER!! I'm a monster!"

"Shhh! You'll wake everyone up."

"It's too late for that." Cynder had entered the living room followed by L. Spyro and the Artisan visitors. "His screaming from the nightmare woke us up."

"Sorry, it's just that I feel so guilty for what I did to Gnasty."

Bianca rubbed the sleep from her eyes and said. "Spyro, this can be a lesson for the future. We're going home tomorrow, then we can tell the dragons what happened. They'll learn from their mis-"

She was cut off by the sound of rustling and cracking. L. Spyro quickly reacted. "Cynder, does that sound mean what I think it does?!"

"I think so! They're hatching!!"

Everyone gathered around the eggs as they began shaking and rattling. The red egg with magenta stripes violently shook and then a young dragon erupted out of it. He had red scales around his body, his wings, horns, and underbelly were magenta colored, his build and horn shape were much like his father's except that he had Cynder's scythe shaped tail blade, and he had red eyes. As he moved around, he kept biting at the cushion he was resting on. "He's beautiful," said L. Spyro. "We have to think of a name. Hmm, he's a fire dragon and he has a feisty nature. What about... Inferno?" Cynder nodded at his suggestion.

The black egg with golden stripes moved around lazily for a while and then a young dragoness carefully worked her way out. She had black scales across her body, her wings and underbelly were a gold color, she looked just like her mother except her wings were shaped like L. Spyro's, and she had green eyes. She looked nervously up at the crowd surrounding her and she curled up into a ball, she was filled with fear. "Oh my God, she's gorgeous," said Cynder. "Okay, I have the perfect name. She's a shadow dragon and she's very shy. We'll call her Umbra!" L. Spyro showed his approval by licking Cynder on the neck, she loved when he did that.

"Ooh ooh! Can I name the next one?" Asked L. Sparx.

"Okay, but make it a good name," said Cynder.

The yellow egg began spinning as it shook, suddenly a young energetic dragoness popped out. This young dragon had the most variety in her appearance: she had yellow scales, her wings and under belly were a magenta color, she had Cynder's build, her wings were shaped like L. Spyro's but they were bladed like Cynder's, she had her father's spade shaped tail blade, her muzzle looked like L. Spyro's, she had nine ivory horns like Cynder's but they were strong and sturdy like L. Spyro's horns, and she had purple eyes. The little dragon could not contain herself and she began running around her parents (causing them to laugh) until she tired herself out and fell asleep. "Wow, it's tough thinking about a name. Give me a sec, she's an electric dragon and she's unbelievably hyper." L. Sparx thought for a moment. "Hmm, how about Dizzy?!"

The two new parents thought about it for a few minutes, then at the same time said, "It's a perfect name, Sparx."

In all the excitement, Ember had fainted and Bianca cried tears of joy. Even Moneybags was happy at the sight. A. Spyro walked up to L. Spyro and Cynder, who were carrying their children in their forelegs. "Congratulations, you two."

"Thanks, Artisan me. And thanks again for helping me at the volcano."

"I'm just glad we got to see 'em before we left," said Flame.

The newborn dragons all yawned, causing Cynder to yawn as well. "Come on, let's all get back to bed. We have a big day tomorrow."
