Alright! I hope that you liked the last chapter! Here is the next page in Spyro: A Black Dawn.

So everyone went their separate ways for the moment. The guardians and Zara going about their duties. Spyro and Sparx were in their room, listening to Cynder decipher the runes in the book.

"I still don't understand." Spyro said. "How did you know about this book?"

"Well." Sparx said hesitantly. "I was sleeping and she woke me up and told me to find it."

"Who's she?" Cynder said taking a break from translating.

Sparx mumbled something barley loud enough to hear.

"Pardon?" Cynder asked

Sparx hesitated. "It was Starlight."

"Starlight!" Spyro and Cynder shouted simultaneously.

"Whoa!" Sparx said flying behind a curtain. "Take it easy!"

"How can you trust her?" Spyro asked. "For all we know, I could be playing into Malefor's hands by learning these spells!"

"Hey!" Sparx said. "She was really sincere about it. And ... she was scared."

"Scared?" Cynder asked. "Why would she be scared?

"She said Malefor had someone she cared about." Sparx said slowly. "And I think that she was afraid for herself too."

"Only if she was truly betraying Malefor would she be afraid for her life Spyro." Cynder said gently as she walked towards the slightly angry purple dragon.

"Wait a second." Sparx said shocked. "You're on my side?"

"You gave me a chance." Cynder said. "Now I'm giving Starlight one."

Spyro sighed. "I'll give her a chance, for your sake Sparx."

"Thank you buddy!" Sparx said giving Spyro a hug.

Spyro and Cynder smiled at each other. Sparx wiped his eyes and flew a short distance away. "Now are we going to sit around hugging each other, or are you going to learn these new spells."

**********

Cain sat fuming in his room. How dare that purple dragon take his Cynder. She was the prettiest of all the young dragons, that made her the best. And only he deserved the best.

**********

Ember spied on the little...conversation going on between Spyro, Sparx, and that stupid black dragon. "So," Ember thought. "Starlight has been doing a little work on the side. I just came to get that book. But I picked up that nifty bit of information along the way. Wait until Master hears about this!"

With that last evil thought, Ember flew into the room. Pretending to pant, she said. "Please hurry!"

**********

Spyro, Cynder and Sparx turned to face Ember. She was breathing hard, like she had just flown faster than the wind to get here quickly.

"What do you want Ember?" Cynder asked maliciously.

"There's been an attack!" Ember said starting to cry. "Terrador and the rest of the guardians sent me to find you; since I can't use any breath power's myself."

"And I suppose the guardians want Spyro to go to the west wall and Cynder the east?" Sparx said thoroughly annoyed.

Ember winced. "No, they are to both report to the outer courtyard."

Spyro and Cynder glanced at each other, and then nodded. "We'll go, Sparx, stay here and watch the book."

Sparx nodded. Ember said "I'll stay and help."

Spyro didn't have time to argue, he and Cynder took off to the skies to reach the outer courtyard.

***********

Everything had been going along so perfectly with Ember's plan... except Spyro telling Sparx to watch the book.

"Darn!" Ember thought as she paced around. "I forgot about the stupid dragonfly. Guess I don't really have a choice now."

Sparx was looking out the window with his back turned on the pink dragoness. Ember looked around and saw an empty lamp sitting on the desk. (It was a lamp, but its design was like a bird cage) Ember quietly ran to the lamp and picked it up.

"I can't leave him here to warn everyone!" Ember thought angrily as she sneaked up behind Sparx.

"Hey Ember." Sparx said. Ember had to stop her advance. "I don't hear anything. The last time there was an army outside the gates, I couldn't hear myself think."

"Play along." Ember thought to herself."You're right. Do you think something is wrong?"

"I just don't like how quiet it is." Sparx said. "It's so quiet, I feel like something is sneaking up behind me."

"Eep!" Ember thought. In a panic, she did a magnificent leap forward, trapping Sparx in the lamp/cage.

"Hey!" Sparx shouted. "What are you doing?"

"Getting the book." Ember said. Ember ran and grabbed the book. He also took a bag that the dragons used for carrying things on long journeys. She quickly slipped the book into the bag, double checking to make sure that it was secure before turning to Sparx. Sparx recoiled in his makeshift cage. Ember leaped foreword and grabbed the prison in her mouth, than took off into the sky.

**********

Spyro and Cynder came to land in front of Terrador in the courtyard.

"What's wrong?" Cynder asked.

"Nothing, except having to organise extra guards around the city." Terrador said. "Why aren't you both reading that spell book?"

"Ember said we were being attacked." Spyro said. "She said you said to come and help."

"What?" Terrador said. "I never did such a thing."

"Oh no!" Cynder quietly said just loud enough for the three of them to hear. "The book!"

"This was just a distraction!" Spyro said the answer dawning on him.

"We must get to your room! Quickly!" Terrador said, turning to takeoff. Spyro and Cynder right behind him.

Hey! I am so sorry for the late update. There are only going to be MABYE six more chapters. (If I planned it right) Please read and review!
