This takes place after season three of Skylanders

Previously: Spyro and Cynder have just come back from a major battle at the hands of the evil Darkness. The Darkness gained the upper hand when he corrupted Spyro into his dark form with Spyro having no control. Cynder entered his mind with help from Sprocket's new invention. She helped Spyro take control and the tide was turned. He redirected the shots to destroy the weapons. It came down to a magic vs. magic battle with Spyro and Cynder fighting against the Darkness, Strykore, and Kaos. They won and in result, they were both knocked unconscious. They woke to hear news of a peace treaty for a two month postponement of war. They are now enjoying life at the war-free academy. What happens next? Read On!

The Realm of Dragons

Spyro was taking a nice walk with Cynder after a few more days of resting after one of Spyro's biggest battles. They had been battling and had almost died from power drain. There had recently been a peace treaty for no fighting for two months. Spyro was relieved that he finally was going to get some rest. He was even happier that he got to spend it with Cynder. See, not too long ago, they had confessed their love for each other in their first battle against the Darkness. Their relationship was a secret to everyone except Eon and his team.

They came to the most serene place in the Realm of Dragons. It overlooked a pristine lake and had several dragons living on it's banks. Spyro loved this place. He was reminded how he had never had a true family up until a few months ago. He smiled and Cynder noticed. "You must like this place a lot Spyro. What was it like not having a family?" she asked. Spyro's face darkened a little. "Well, before I became obsessed with finding my ancestors, I always felt empty inside, like...say...a machine without a vital piece of information." he replied with a forced smile on his face with every syllable darkening his tone.

Cynder felt bad for reminding Sypro of his days before he had a family. "I'm sorry for saying that, it just came to me." she apologized. Spyro held her close. "No, don't be sorry. I've had that on my mind for a while. Sharing it with someone has calmed my mind. I thank you for that." he said. Cynder relaxed at Spyro's words. "You know, this place is far better than the best place in the Underworld." she said. Spyro smiled. "That is one of the main reasons I brought you here." he said.

Little did he know that Stealth Elf was listening from the bushes nearby. She now had her suspicions confirmed of Spyro and Cynder's relationship. She teleported back to her house and saw the others there. Eruptor was cooking lunch while Jet Vac and Pop Fizz were reclining on a nearby couch. Sprocket was out working on something with the Tech Master. "Guys, I need to tell you something about our friend Spyro." she said. Immediately they told her not to say anything since they didn't want Stealth Elf and Spyro to fight again.

She ignored them and said, "I found out that Spyro has a relationship with Cynder. That is why he was so disturbed.". The others said nothing and went back to what they were doing before. Eruptor looked at Stealth Elf with a look that said So what? . "Well good for him, I mean, he is coming up to his 16th birthday in a few weeks." Eruptor said. (If you think my aging is wrong, think about it. He was 12 when he started being a Skylander. In the last episode of season three, Pop said they had been fighting evil for 3 years. 12+3=15). Stealth Elf was confused at her friends' ignoration of this discovery.

Meanwhile Spyro was completely unaware of Stealth Elf's overhearing. He sat with Cynder for a long time until it was time for lunch. "Want to come with my family for lunch at the Undead Utopia Diner? Spyro asked Cynder. Cynder was glad to go and agreed. They went there and it was amazing. The entire place was made out of what looked like bones. The inner walls were decorated with patterns of skulls. They ate together and were full by 1:00 pm. They decided to go on a watch on the entire Skylands on Spyro's ship.

They both were happy that all was fine in the Skylands. They watched their friends playing Flyball. He rested and went out of his way to say hello to his friends. His former teammates were playing SheepBall. He dropped in to see how they were doing. "Hey guys! How are you all doing?" he shouted from about 10 meters above. Eruptor smiled at the sight of his old friend talking to him again. "We're fine, you too?". "Couldn't have been better!" Spyro replied.

He said hello to everyone and went back on his ship with Cynder. The way he acted around her irritated Stealth Elf for some reason. She then saw an entire new arrival of some Skylanders, such as Head Rush and Flameslinger. Spyro greeted them and they greeted him back because they had heard of his past missions and victories. They also greeted Cynder with great respect as well. Stealth Elf was jealous ever since Spyro came back from his training. He was almost the best at everything. She even could not win a race like she used to.

Spyro was seeing other Skylanders come and made houses for all of them. They thanked him and went off to their new homes. He went back to his ship and went to the beach after picking up his team. They went surfing and rested in the sun. Spyro opened a umbrella since Cynder was kind of sensitive from being in a single beam of light for too long since she had grown up in the Cadaverous Crypts. He liked to rest alongside his team. He spent the rest of the day at the beach.

Stealth Elf was fixated on being better at Spyro at something. She tried to beat his time on the course but couldn't beat him due to his Dragon Time. She went to bed and desperately wanted to best Spyro at something.

Tomorrow she trained her hardest. She saw Spyro and Cynder coming in to train. She looked at them train in perfect unison. Spyro worked on his Dragon Time and Cynder worked on directing lightning shots through different enemies so she could knock out more with one shot. She gave up on training for the day. She went back to her house feeling dejected. She was still great friends with Spyro, she just wanted to be the best at something.

Spyro was doing his best. He trained harder and harder so he could be ready for a surprise attack. He felt more alive being around Cynder and felt like the war was a thing of the past. Unfortunately he was reminded every day that there was a war to be fought. He fought so hard, he wished that someday that this war would be over. He wanted to spend an entire life of peace, not have evil-doers attack you every second of every day.

He realized he hadn't heart from Malefor and Cynder's mother in quite some time. He pulled up a little spherical object and a projection popped up. The gigantic Malefor picked up on the other end. "Hi Spyro, hi Cynder, what did you contact me for?" he said. Spyro smiled and said, "We just wanted to check in on how you are doing.". Malefor smiled and Cynder's mother came into view. Cynder was overjoyed to speak to her mother. Spyro had revived her a few months back and they had been best friends ever since.

"How are you doing?" Cynder asked her mother. Her mother smiled. "We have been contemplating how to stop the Darkness's armies from regenerating." she replied. They held a conversation for a few more minutes before finally ending. They went off to do their own thing. Cynder went off to catch up on DVR, and Spyro went to check on Blackout. Recently Blackout was worried about how he was in a great relationship with Spotlight.

Ever since Spyro and Cynder had revealed her feelings for each other he had become more aware of his own relationship. He felt as if his relationship with Spotlight was like a glass sculpture, easy to break and had to be taken great care of. Spyro took notice of this and said that Spotlight and Blackout's relationship was not at all glass. It was as strong as steel. Blackout was relieved when he said Spotlight liked him too.

Spyro gave a few pointers of how to handle their relationship. Blackout wanted to tell Spotlight how he really felt about her, but he wanted to do it without being in a large battle. He reluctantly told Spyro about how he felt. Spyro smiled and said, "If you really want to, go to that mountain way over in the Realm of Dragons. There is the most serene place in the Skylanders. Blackout followed his advice and brought Spotlight up there.

Spotlight grinned when she saw the magnificent view. They sat down and overlooked the magnificent valley. Blackout looked over and said to Spotlight, "I brought you up here for a special reason Spotlight.". She looked at him like she knew what he was going to say. "I always feel that there is something more to our relationship. What I am trying to say is, I love you Spotlight." Blackout said. Spotlight was quiet for a moment. She took her wing and wrapped it around Blackout.

"I always felt the same way about you Blackout. I was always afraid you didn't feel the same way." She said slowly. Blackout sprouted a huge smile on his face. "Well now that we've told each other, why don't we tell Spyro and Cynder? They are the ones who deserve to hear it most." suggested Blackout. They flew back to the house as normal as possible considering they had just confessed for each other. They found Spyro and Cynder in the house.

Spyro was happy to see them. "Hey Blackout, have a nice time out?" he said as he gave a small smirk. Blackout smiled back. "The best one of my life." he replied. Spyro had only one thing to say. "Congratulations you two. You finally found love for each other. And you didn't need a big battle to do it.". They talked some more and there were several rounds of congratulations. They all fell asleep soon enough as it was getting late.
