Cynder flew Spyro all the way to the Cheetah Village. She was a bit winded, but she would be fine. Spyro however, needed medical attention… again.
When she landed, Prowlus was already out to greet her. However rudely he was about it.
'What now?'
'There's been another development, and it's not good.'
'Oh?'
'Now what I'm gonna say is undoubtedly odd, but it's the truth. Warfang has fallen to corrupt leaders.'
'...That's it?'
'What do you mean that's it?'
'I knew that would happen. Stay away from politics.'
'I just wonder how he got to such a position if he was corrupt like that?'
'News flash, politicians lie!'
'Well, that's not the worst of it. Me, Sparx, Hunter, and you are all wanted for war crimes and espionage.'
'What? Well, you I could understand.'
'Agreed.'
'But me? Hunter? That annoying Dragonfly? Espionage?'
Cynder nods.
'They even tried to arrest Spyro for hiding me. They don't even trust the one who saved the planet.'
'Hm. I see. Well I suppose birds of a feather gotta stick together. You and Spyro are welcome here, so long as you cause no trouble.'
'Oh yeah, I need your Doctor again. I think Spyro may have had another heart attack.'
'What do you mean another?'
'I'll explain later, get the Doctor.'
Prowlus nods.
(Time Change... 30 minutes later...)
'... and now I'm here telling you what happened.'
'Ok I'm all caught up.'
'Ah perfect timing.'
They turn around and find the Doctor.
'Ah Doctor, how is he?'
'Prowlus I've told you, please call me Maxis, you too Cynder. Anyways, Spyro is find. The scar tissue didn't tear, he must've just expended his energy again. He needs a good, LONG rest. Extra emphasis on long. From what I've heard he hasn't spent a great deal of time resting. Partially due to Cynder and her hormones.'
Cynder blushes through her scales.
'Seriously how do you blush through your scales?'
'I don't know.'
'Anyways, Spyro should wake up soon.'
'I'm kinda concerned. He's had his chest cut open 3 times since he saved the world. Why isn't it leaving a scar?'
'It is, but the initial cut I made in between 2 lines of scales. That cut has been used both of the following times and his scales cover it quite nicely.'
'Well Doctor, *Maxis clears his throat obviously* fine fine fine. Well MAXIS, you have performed well again. We are grateful that you are with us.'
'Thanks Prowlus. Now if you'll excuse me, I have an appointment coming up soon and I need to clear the space of Dragon blood. Again.'
Maxis turns around and goes back into the tent, later he reappears and hands a still unconscious Spyro to Cynder before returning to the tent.
'Oh Spyro, you just can't make life boring can you?'
(Scene Change... Unknown Location... POV Change... Spyro...)
Ugh. Where am I?
'Awaken my son. We must talk.'
'Igni I mean, father?'
The Chronicler's Chambers appears and Ignitus with them.
'Spyro, you've become such a fine young Dragon. I couldn't be more proud of you.'
'Thank you father, but I doubt you called me here just to say hello.'
'Alright, muzzle to the grindstone, I like that. I want to speak with you about a few things. First of all, I want you to know, that you and Cynder really ARE the last Dragons of breeding age.'
I groan.
'Oh don't give me that. Cynder's gonna be doing all the work. *Ignitus puffs smoke* Trust me Spyro, you are not making much of a sacrifice. Cynder is. You better treat her right.'
'Yes sir.'
'Good. Now second, I want you to try and control your Dark Form. You can't keep letting it take over like that. Sooner or later, Cynder won't be there to pull you out. When that happens, there will be no way to save you. Understand?'
I nod.
'I do, but how do I go about summoning it?'
'Just think. Think about loss, about pain, about anger. Anything that makes you mad or upset. Convexity is the "Darkest" of the Dark Elements. Now I've always hated calling them Light and Dark Elements. They are not good or evil. They are called so because Light Elements feed off of "Light" emotions, whilst Dark Elements feed off of "Dark" emotions. The Light Elements feed off of love, happiness, friendship, etc. The Dark Elements feed off of anger, lust, and sadness. This does not make the Elements good or evil though. Just because something is dark, doesn't mean it is evil. You know this better than anyone.'
Cynder. She is a master of 4 Dark Elements, but she is good.
'I understand.'
'Good. Finally, I want to talk to you about the future.'
I raised an eyeridge.
'Spyro, listen very VERY carefully. Cynder is attempting to alter her supposedly inevitable fate. Higher powers tell me I cannot say whether she is succeeding or not, but I want to tell you to be supportive of her. She knows what could happen to her, and she needs you now more than ever. Especially considering she's to be a mother soon.'
I froze. Cynder was gonna be a mother?
'Yes my son. You and Cynder are soon to be parents.'
I had mixed emotions.
I was overjoyed that we were finally starting a family after what seemed like forever, but we were both still young, and we probably shouldn't be having children yet.
'I'll leave you to process this information.'
My dad started to fade away, along with his room.
'Oh, while I have you, I should tell you that Cynder decided to flea Warfang with you. You will wake up in the Cheetah Village in Avalar. You and Cynder are now fugitives.'
I nodded.
'Stay safe my son.'
He vanished.
