Chapter 27-(Meeting a New Family Member)

Spyro woke up and looked to see if Cynder was anywhere near him. She was. She was still sleeping next to him, her head was on his chest. "Hey Cynder, you still asleep?" asked Spyro. "No not really, I spend the entire night listening to you heart beating. Such a steady beat." "Thank you darling, your heart also beats steadily." Spyro got up and kissed Cynder on her forehead. She kissed him back on the side. They were together now, and nothing was going to separate them. Cynder got up and yawned. "Maybe you should sleep some more Cynder." said Spyro. "I did, guess I didn't sleep enough." giggled Cynder. Spyro also laughed. Spyro stretched out long and hard, for he was all cramped up after what he had to do yesterday. "Spyro, do you think we should tell the others that we are, you know, together now?" asked Cynder. "Cynder, they will know when they will see us. Besides your sister knows, and so does Mark." "I guess your right. Let's go eat something, I am starving." "Ladies first" said Spyro. "Thank you" smiled Cynder.

They met up with the others and the rest found out that Spyro and Cynder were dating. Elva hugged them both and kissed them both. She was happy that her son, Spyro was finally dating. Ignitus was proud, but Sparx was a little worried. "Hey Spyro, are you sure you want to be dating her? There are other girls like her except you know with brighter colors." "Sparx you still scared about Cynder. Don't worry, she won't be evil like she was before. Plus there are no other girls for me to find. Cynder is the one." said Spyro. "Alright I see how it is. You guys love each other and nothing will break that bond between you two." "For once Sparx you are right" said Spyro with a smile.

Cynder and Spyro were walking together. As they were walking through, they heard other dragons gasping ans saying "Are Spyro and Cynder really dating?" Cynder didn't care if the other dragons hated her for what she was before, all she cared about was Spyro. Spyro didn't care about what the other females were saying about them two dating. He did care about what the guys were saying about Cynder. But when ever Spyro and Cynder came near them, the guys were quite or left them to be.

News spread quickly around the Palace about them two dating. Some of the dragons thought it was nice that they were dating. Others thought that Spyro was a fool and that he was going to fall for Cynder's evil spells and traps. Spyro didn't care what they said. He wanted to make some new friends and let everyone know that Cynder ain't who they think she is.

It was then when they heard some screaming going on. They heard someone screaming in the gardens. Spyro, Cynder and the others rushed to see what was going on. They saw in the middle of the Garden a male ice dragon was holding a knife to a female fire dragon throat. "NOBODY COME ANY CLOSER OTHER WISE SHE IS DEAD!!" yelled the male. "Spyro do something!" pleaded Cynder. Spyro thought of an idea but to the corner of his eye, he saw Mark standing on the roof with his AN50 sniper rifle. "You might as well forget about me doing anything. Mark is going to shoot." Cynder looked around and tried finding Mark, she couldn't see him anywhere. "Where is he?" "On the roof with that sniper rifle." Spyro pointed out to Cynder where Mark was and they both saw Mark load up his rifle and took aim. He wasn't shooting yet.

'Now is the good time for me to calm this guy down.' thought Spyro. Spyro made his way through the crowd and into the garden. "DON'T COME ANY CLOSER!!" yelled the male ice dragon. "PLEASE HELP ME!!" yelled the female fire dragon. She was crying and struggling. "Hey calm down. What is the problem?" asked Spyro. "IT IS NONE OF YOUR BUISNESS!! GET BACK OR SHE IS DEAD!!" "You really sure you want to do this? What did she do to you that makes you want to kill her?" "She cheated on me for some other dragon. YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE LEFT ME FOR SOMEONE ELSE!!" yelled the ice dragon. "Your funeral" said Spyro. "Why would you say that?!" asked the ice dragon. "Look up on that roof way over there." Spyro pointed out and they all saw Mark with his Sniper rifle aiming at the Ice dragon. The female fire dragon bit the ice dragon's hand and ran to Spyro. "AHHHH YOU &!! YOU ARE SO DEAD!!" The Ice dragon charged at them both with the knife, then a gunshot was heard. The ice dragon fell down dead. He was shot through head. 'Headshot.' thought Mark.

Spyro then saw Mark leave the rooftop and then he turned his attention to the female fire dragon that was crying in his arms. "Hey, are you alright?" "Y-y-yes I am. Thank you, Spyro." Cynder then came. "Everyone all right?" "Yes we are all fine, except for this ice dragon." They looked at him and saw blood pouring out, staining the beautiful flowers. Cynder then took the female dragon and was taking her away. "Don't worry, everything will be alright." The female fire dragon was still crying. She was trembling and scared. Spyro then looked at the ice dragon once more and left. 'At least I know have a new friend that I saved from death.' he thought.

Spyro met up with Cynder and the female fire dragon. He saw Mark measuring the fire dragon's blood pressure, pulse, breathing, everything. Making sure she was alright. "How is she?" asked Spyro. "Blood pressure is back to normal, pulse is a little fast but still good. Couple of bruises and scratches. She will be fine. Good thing you made the ice dragon turn and look at me. The wind up there was crazy and I could've shot the fire dragon instead. I got to hand it to ya, you know how to take care of Hostage Situations like that." said Mark with a smile. "Thanks, but couldn't you have like not kill the ice dragon?" "Listen if you have someone with a knife, about to kill someone, then he runs at you with the knife, what are you going to do? Stand there and take the stab, or take him out?" "Take him out?" said Spyro. "Good answer."

Spyro looked at the female dragon that was in shock. "Hey, what is your name?" The female dragon looked at Spyro. "My name is Ember. I thank you both for saving me." said Ember. "Don't thank me, thank Spyro." "Ember, I must say that is such a nice name" said Cynder. "Yes it is, my mother gave it to me. My father must be worried about what has just happened to me." "Who is your father?" asked Spyro. "My father's name is Ignitus." Spyro was blown away. "Ignitus is your father?" said Mark who was for once shocked. "Yes he is, why what's wrong?" "Ignitus is my godfather!" said Spyro. "My father is your godfather?! How sweet of him, then that makes me and you cousins!" Ember giggled and she hugged Spyro. "Wow this is so surprising. I found out who my parents are, I find out who is my cousin, then I learn that the dragon that I am dating with has a sister and is married, which makes them my brother and sister-in-laws once I marry Cynder, and I also know that I have a godfather." said Spyro. "Well I guess you are going to have one big happy family after all of this fighting and war is over." said Mark. "Yeah I guess so, but first let's go to Ignitus and tell him about what has just happened to his daughter, my cousin." said Spyro. He looked at Ember and she smiled. They all left and looked for Ignitus.
