Guys, there's somethings I would like to see in the reviews for this chap:

What rate do you give to Spyro and Cynder's personalities closeness to their original personalities in the game?

Do you miss "Sparx's" appearances in the fanfic? Or do you want him to have a slow death and then burn in hell for the rest of his afterlife (eternity)? O.o

And what rate do you give to the humor scenes in this fanfic? Or are they so bad that you even didn't notice that were humor scenes in this fanfic?

Remember to say anything more you may want to!

And as one last thing I wanted to say that I worked a little more on Grace drawing, so she will be updated on deviant art soon!

Now enough talking and enjoy chapter twenty!

Cynder was the first one to wake up in to following morning, it was some hours to mid day. Soon she woke up she checked on Spyro. He wasn't awake yet, but already looked back than the past day. After checking him she gazed to the others, they were all sleeping yet, and the just ashes lasted in the fireplace. Before awaking the others, Cynder tried to wake up Spyro. She knew that he could use more rest, but she wanted to know how was he.

"Spyro...are you awake?" She whispered close to his ear, but with no response.

"Spyro, you have to wake up!" She insisted, pulling him against her chest and shaking him lightly.

Finally, he grunted something, moved a bit and twitched his eyes.

"Spyro?" She asked, already hopefully while gazed at his face.

Spyro then sleepily opened his eyes. "Cynder?" He asked, but very sleepily.

Cynder then just hugged him tightly, and nuzzled his cheek with her muzzle. "Oh Spyro, we found you!"

"What happened?" He asked while gazed the surroundings confusedly.

"You were in a desert, unconscious! I saw you in the pool of visions and we ran after you!"

"A desert?" He gasped. "Did you saw me on the pool?"

"Yes, I'll explain that later... What do you feel?"

"I'm dizzy, hungry and thirsty. And I have a headache." He said putting a paw over his head.

"Oh my Spyro, you are dehydrated!" She gasped. "Come on, I'll help you to get up!" She got up and started to help him to get up to. The margin of the lake was just some steps from them.

Ember woke up while they talked, hearing Spyro's voice once again, talking to Cynder.

After some steps with Cynder, she laid him on the margin where he could easily drink from the lake.

"Thanks Cyn..." He said somewhat hardly.

"It's nothing Spy..." She said and got a little more calm by seeing him drinking. "I'll get something for you to eat."

Spyro just pointed his claw to the other side of the lake, and when Cynder looked to it sighted a deer, also drinking from it. She looked back to him and he just gave her a small smile while drank from the lake.

Cynder then walked away from Spyro, and prepared to hunt it.

She tried to get closer as she could to the animal, without harming it. Spyro just watched from some distance, while drank some water, Cynder approaching it. Showing ability, she leaped from behind and got its neck, killing it right before. Once killed, she brought the animal close to him and began to prepare it to be eaten.

Spyro took some time drinking. His mouth was more than dry, and his thirst looked like wasn't wanting to go away.

Soon when Cynder began to prepare the animal, Ember decided to get up and help her.

After saciating his thirsty, Spyro got back a little from the lake, and laid down over his side in the ground again. Cynder was preparing the deer just in front of him. After removing the furs and some skin, Cynder asked to Ember to burn that a little, and she did. Cynder then ripped a chunk of meat with her jaws, and offered it to Spyro. He smiled and took the chunk to eat. She kept feeding him until he was satisfied, and just then she started eating.

Grace also woke up while this. She checked the surroundings and saw Spyro resting, while Cynder and Ember were eating, and Amphars sleeping, so took to her the task to wake him. After getting up, stretching herself and greeting the others, she headed for him, who was laid over his side, and poked him with a paw in the chest.

"Hey, time to get up." She softly said close to him.

Amphars just mumbled and moved but did not open his eyes.

"Amphy...?" She called again.

This time he slowly opened his eyes and faced her, who was just ahead of him.

"Oh, hi Grace." He sleepily smiled.

"Hi sleeper." She teased and smiled back.

He just gave a small laugh and asked.

"Is everyone awake already?"

"Yes, I had to wake you up." She replied. "Did you sleep well?"

"I slept better some nights ago." He replied remembering the night they slept in the infirmary, and stretched himself while said.

"Yeah, I know." She smiled and gazed away.

Amphars started to get up then.

"Ah, did Spyro wake up?" He asked gazing at him, and then at the deer.

"Yes, I guess." She replied gazing at him, Cynder and Ember.

Amphars then took some steps to Ember and Cynder, and Grace followed him.

"Hi Ember, Cynder." He greeted, and they nodded their heads.

"Is Spyro better?" He asked.

"I'm now..." Spyro replied, raising her head from the ground.

"Oh, good to see you awake again!" Amphars smiled and gazed to Spyro.

"Thanks" Spyro giggled. "Now I just need some rest..." Spyro said and closed his eyes again.

Amphars just nodded his head, and gazed back to the deer.

"Oh Ember, you just ate the best part of it!"

She just laughed.

After a small while, everyone already had their meals, and not much left of the unlucky deer.

"So, what do we do now?" Amphars asked the others.

Cynder just stopped to think for a moment, and the other stayed quiet. Suddenly, Cynder remembered something.

"Grace, where's that book you found?"

"Oh, it's right there." She pointed to the place she slept. The book was still there.

"Could you have a check on it?" Cynder asked again.

"Yes, sure!" She replied and got up to take the book. She took it, and brought back them, then opened and started reading. Soon when she read the first page, she gazed at Cynder and said. "Oh, there's something wrong."

"What?" Cynder raised an eyebrow. "What's written?"

"Well, I can't read this, that's the problem." Grace replied.

"Where did you find this book?" Spyro curiously asked.

"It was with you when we found you in the desert." Grace said.

"While I was being held... I saw somethings. I saw a black dragoness, named "Night" reporting for an ape who she called master."

"So, she has a master..." Ember said.

"Do you think they left this book with you?" Grace asked.

"Could be." Spyro replied. "I also saw Flame, I talked to him, but he's still in a dark form. He didn't listen to me. And by what I heard, Night was like a reward or something for him."

"Oh...That girl is his prize? I would just flee from there if I were him."

Amphars and Grace just chuckled.

"And why did they take you after all?" Cynder questioned.

"I think they drained my powers Cynder... I saw a black crystal and it looked like was sucking my powers from me. It was all I saw, I think I passed more time asleep than awake."

"You past days there Spyro..." Cynder replied.

Spyro just opened his eyes wide, surprised.

Grace was still trying to read the book, flipping through it.

"Any success Grace?" Cynder asked.

"Not at all. I don't understand this...language."

"Let me see it." Cynder asked and raised a paw.

Grace just pulled it to her, and she started reading it.

"Yes, I also don't know this. That just great!"

"The guardians may know how to read this, I guess." Spyro replied.

"Then we need to take this back to Warfang." Cynder concluded.

Spyro just started to get up.

"Spyro, don't... I said we need to get this to Warfang, not that we need to take this there right now."

Spyro just nodded and laid down again.

"So...we...stay here and wait? I mean, we all?" Amphars asked.

"Do you have anything in mind?" Cynder raised an eyebrow.

Suddenly, Spyro heard something. It looked to be something moving in the bushes close to them. He raised his head from the ground and started hearing the silence, waiting for the noise to come again. Amphars also heard that, he raised a paw to Cynder and started gazing the bushes around. The others soon noticed that they have heard something and stayed quiet. Without losing time Amphars headed to the direction where he thought have heard the noise, paying attention to the bushes and to the noises. Soon he also started sniffing the air and he did felt a familiar smell, but at the same time unknown. He approached the bushes cautiously, but he noticed that something just ran from its cover.

"Hey!" He shouted and burst running after it, fast as he could.

The others gasped, and Grace ran after him, leaving Ember, Cynder and Spyro.

Whatever it was, was trying to lose Amphars very hard, but he got it's tail, even if he could barely see what it was. Finally, when he had an opportunity he tackled, and pinned it to the ground.

When he did so, he noticed that he had just pinned nothing less than a dragoness, a little older than him in age and in size, and totally unknown. And not just a dragoness, she was a pure lightning dragoness. Her eyes where a bright yellow.

"A dragoness?" He gasped, getting a little ashamed to pinning her to the ground like that.

"What are you doing? Get off me!" She growled and tried to shake him off her, not looking directly at him.

"Hey wait up a little. I'm trying to talk to you! Why did you ran from us?" He asked, trying to calm her but not releasing his grasp over her. When he said this, she stopped resisting and gazed at his face, and stayed quiet for a sec. She noticed that he really didn't want to hurt her.

Before she could think in an answer though, a shout was heard, and Amphars nearly froze. "Get of my sister!"

When he looked to it, saw a male dragon charging to him, younger than himself in age, and he just had enough time to think "Crap..."

The dragon rammed his ribs, making him lose his grasp on the dragoness and fall at his other side on the ground away from both.

"Liz! Are you okay?" He asked her, and she started getting up.

"Yes, I'm." She replied. "There was no need for that, I guess."

The headbutt on his side also made Amphars lost his breath for a small while. However he tried to get up, and don't show it.

"I wasn't going to hurt her!" He exclaimed defensively, panting lightly.

"What do you want?" He asked him.

"I wanted to talk to her, but she had to run away from me." He replied, getting a little angry.

"We don't know you... What are you doing here?" He continued.

"My friends are camping near here. We are from Warfang!"

Grace heard Amphars voice, and made her way between the trees to him. Finally she found him, panting a little, and the others at some distance, in a defensive instance.

"Amphars what happened?" She gazed at the others and worriedly asked. "Are you okay?"

"Yes, yes... Our friend here just rammed me because he thought I was going to hurt his sister."

The male on was going to say something, but his sister silenced him with a paw over his lips. "Enough, Flake."

Grace gazed Amphars's body, and saw no wound at all.

"Should we take them to the camp?" Grace asked him.

"Yes, I guess." He replied her, then looked to them. "Look, sorry for tackling you like that, but you didn't stop running from me. I didn't want to hurt you."

"It's okay." She nodded her head.

"We came from the city of Warfang, to rescue a friend in need. He's the why we are here. You should come with us."

"Why?" She questioned him.

"Because we are going back to the city. If you prefer living alone in the wilderness, then you can stay." Amphars replied, and turned to get back to the camp. Grace followed him right behind.

"We'll follow!" She called them.

Amphars then turned to gaze her. "Good, let's go then."

"I don't trust him!" Her brother whispered, not liking her idea very much.

She just ignored him, and followed Amphars and Grace. He followed her right behind.

A small while later and Amphars did the way back to the camp. Cynder and Ember sighted him getting out of the bushes, and Grace right behind him. When Ember was about to ask, the two others stepped out too.

Amphars approached his group, and called the two others.

The dragoness shyly stepped ahead, with her smaller brother at her side.

"Well, you don't have to fear us, we aren't apes." He teased.

"Yes." Ember giggled. "I'm Ember, nice to meet you."

"I'm Amphars, and she's Grace. There are Cynder and her mate Spyro." He pointed.

"I'm Liz, and he's my little brother Flake. Nice to meet you all." She said.

"Nice to meet you too." Amphars said and the others nodded. "I know we had not a good first impression, but we can still be friends." He teased again and she chuckled.

"That remember me something." Grace giggled.

"Yeah, me too." He smiled to her.

"Where are you from?" Cynder curiously asked.

"Oh, we live near here for some time now."

"In an underground cave?" Amphars asked with a smile.

"How did you knew?" She raised an eyebrow to him.

He gave a small laugh and replied. "Because I lived in one."

"I see." She smiled, then curiously gazed at Spyro. "Is he a purple dragon?"

"Yes, I'm." He smiled.

"I've heard about purple dragons before. You must be powerful." She continued.

"Thanks." He chuckled. "But I fear I'm without my powers right now." He replied laying his head back in the soft grass.

Cynder just gave him a small caress on his ribs.

"We have to deal with that Cynder. We can't stay here while they can be doing something bad, and Flame is still with them!"

"Yep, and there goes my good mood." Amphars sighed.

"I know Spyro, but you aren't in shape to do anything more than rest now." Cynder replied and continued caressing him.

He just gave a saddened sigh.

"Are you getting better?" She asked him.

"Yes, I guess." He replied.

Cynder then gazed to the dragoness and her brother.

"When Spyro feels better we'll move back to the dragon city. We have matters to solve after that, but you two can stay and live in the temple, and be trained by the guardians. It's much better than stay in the wilderness."

The dragons them started thinking about he offer, but without knowing Warfang, they felt insecure about taking the decision right now.

"We need to head back home, but we'll think about this. If we decide to go with you then we'll be back tomorrow morning, ready to go."

"Right. See you then."

They nodded their heads and parted.

When already in flight, heading back home, Flake asked his sister. "Are you really thinking in going with them, Liz?"

But she didn't reply, just kept looking forward, distracted.

"Sister?" He asked again and poked her. She snapped of her thoughts and looked back to him.

"What?"

"Do you want to go with them?" He raised an eyebrow.

"We can't stay here forever brother... We need to... live around other dragons, and... we could use some training." She replied while looking forward.

He just looked forward again, and didn't reply.

Back at the camp, the dragons prepared to wait a day for Spyro to get better. They passed part of the day talking about lesser things, and knowing better each other. It was a calm, and a little tedious afternoon. When it got later night, they made another fireplace, and hunted again to have dinner.

Cynder was the first one to lie down to sleep, together with Spyro. Ember laid alone, close to the fire, and Amphars could not ignore his eagerness to lie with Grace again. When he approached her she just gave him a smile and got more comfortable in the grass, and he laid down hugging her back closely and putting a wing over her body.
