5 months have past since Cynder was released from Malefor's control. She had practically been adopted by Terrador and Viola. The yellow dragoness nearly hugging her to death while gushing how cute she was, when she saw her purified form, thankfully she was saved by Crystal.

As of today they were visiting Azulong City one of the many cities that was able to escape and hide from Malefor's troops thanks to a rune that make the city invisible. The Guardians were going to a meeting that would be going to take place over the next four weeks to discuss with other species and tribes about what do after Gaul and his apes had retreated, since Cynder was purified and wasn't able to finish releasing Malefor. They all had just got their rooms in the hotel they would be staying in and it was about time for the meeting. Sparx had returned to the swamp for the time being.

"Are you sure you two don't want to come with us to the meeting?" Viola asked Spyro and Cynder with concern as they walked to the temple. "Viola, let the kids go and explore while we are here, besides they've been cooped up in the temple for months" Terrador said to his mate, while Ignitus and Crystal nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry Viola, we'll be fine and besides if we need you we know where to go." Spyro reassured the guardians as they stopped in the market where different species ranging from elves to dragons were selling goods. "I know I know, it's just that meetings like these make me nervous. Just promise to be safe will you?" Viola asked as she looked at the two young dragons, mainly at Cynder who had a sad expression on her face.

Since, they had arrived they could hear others whispering about her when she was corrupted and all the things she did. "Have some faith in them Viola. Now we might be a while plus the fact that some of the other species will take some time to get here today their will mostly be preparations for the next meeting. With that said, here are your lunches for the day and some money just in case anything peeks your interest." Crystal said as she dug into her bags and pulled out two bags filled with gems and two cases filled with food.

"Well, we'll see you two after the meeting and here is your key just in case we are out too late." Ignitus gave them the key and the guardians left to enter the temple.

(Later)

To say that the day had been going pretty bad would be an understatement. Throughout the day they had gone to stands for Spyro the sellers seemed to drop the prices, while for Cynder they seemed to raise the prices. Though them they didn't raise them to high, most likely since Spyro was there and they saw the two of them walking with the guardians. The only one that treated Cynder both kind and fairly was a grizzly bear by the name of Kuma G. Moneybags, which did shock her.

"hehehe, what with the shocked look kiddo?" Kuma asked her when he saw her expression "You're not acting like everybody else. Don't you know who I am?" she asked still shocked at how nice he was being "Yup, you're a little dragon that's exploring the city. And unlike everyone else here I can tell the difference a puppet and a puppeteer."

Now Cynder is sitting in under a tree with Spyro in the park. Both were relaxing after walking around *grrrrooowwwll* their stomachs rumbled at the same time. "I'll go get us something to eat" Spyro said as he got up and went to check for a food stand. Once he left Cynder decided to take a nap until he returned. "Aaaahhhh" *thump* "Ouch, what the..." Cynder began to say before she saw what fell on her, or more accurately who fell on her, a pink dragoness around her and Spyro's age covered in leaves. "Ooowwww. Sorry about that, I didn't expect someone to be sleeping under this tree" the pink dragoness said as she got off Cynder.

"It's fine, no harm done. I should have looked around before I began to fall asleep" Cynder said as she got up from the ground. "I'm Ember by the way. Who are you Are you new here?" the pink dragoness now known as Ember asked with a smile on her face "Cynder and no I'm just here for the meeting" Cynder answered a bit put off by how calm Ember was around her.

"Are you sure you want to be around me with my reputation?" Cynder asked as she caught a group of parents whispering off to the side of the park looking at them. "What do you mean?" Ember asked tilting her head to the side confused before realizing what Cynder was talking about "Nope" she said simply with a smile on her face. For the second time today Cynder was left shocked.

'She needs you, don't let her fall like we did' Cynder heard a voice in the back of her head one that sounded similar to her own. "So, what do you say?" Ember asked Cynder causing her to remember the situation she was in and quickly responded "Oh, sorry about that I was...thinking about something I need to do later. So what were you saying?". "I was asking if you wanted to be friends." Ember replied with a smile, yet Cynder payed closer attention to Ember this time and saw a feeling she knew all to well, the feeling of loneliness. "Yes, I would like that Ember" Cynder said with attempted smile of her own "REALLY, you mean it?" Ember asked both with glee and a bit of hope as f she thought it was a joke. "Yes, Ember I mean it. I would really like to be your friend." Cynder said making Ember tackle her in a hug.

"So, what did I miss while I was gone?" they heard a voice behind them.

Turning around they saw Spyro standing with a bag of donuts "Hi, I'm Ember Cynder's new friend". "Well then, I guess that makes you my friend too. Nice to meet you Ember, I'm Spyro." he said with a smile causing Ember to blush a bit.

(Hours Later)

The three of them had been talking and joking until Ember let out a yawn making her look up to see the sun was setting. "I better get home before my parents get worried" Ember said as she got up from the ground "What are parents?" Cynder asked getting up, causing Spyro to cringe a bit remembering that unlike him and Ember, Cynder grew about under Malefor's dark influence. Ember turned towards Cynder with a smile they made both her and Spyro blush "Parents are the dragons that take care and love you." "Yeah, like my Ignitus and Cyrstal take care of me." Spyro said as he also got up and stretched.

Hearing this caused Cynder to remember what Viola and Terrador have done for her since she came to the Temple and began living with the four guardians. Whenever she needed something that was out of her reach Terrador would help her and then there were the times she would have constant nightmare about still being under Malefor's control Viola would always rush into her room waking her up to calm her down. Once she stopped screaming she would always sing her a song to help her go back to sleep and lay there until they both went to sleep. Viola would even try to cook breakfast from time to time though one of the other guardians would stop her before she burned the food. Cynder knew Viola wasn't infertile.

When they were about to have dinner one night Cynder caught Viola why she was being nice to her even after what she did Viola smiled to her and said "It's because I want to see you happy. Now come on let's get to the kitchen, I want you try my new recipe, you'll definitely love it.".

Coming out of her day dreaming Cynder saw Ember heading home "See you tomorrow Ember" Cynder said as she and Spyro began to head to the hotel "See you tomorrow" Ember responded with hope. And with that the three departed.

(At the hotel)

When they got to the hotel they saw the guardians were already back. After they ate dinner everyone began to head to bed with Spyro sleeping between Ignitus and Crystal. Viola was getting to fall asleep when Cynder came to her side "Do you mind if I sleep with you?". Cynder usually would want to sleep by herself, though even though Viola was shocked she smiled and and rose her left wing up to which Cynder laid down close to her. "Goodnight mom, I love you" Cynder said as she succumb to the wish of the sand-man.

Viola was one again shocked and at the same time extremely overjoyed since, all she ever wanted from the young dragoness was for her to be happy and open up to her. Viola was in now way infertile but since she was drain of most of her magic, which Viola would never blame Cynder for, it would be sometime before she could have kids again.

Viola looked down at a sleeping Cynder with the same motherly gaze she has always given her. Leaning down she nuzzled Cynder, who subconsciously nuzzled back "I love you too, sweet dreams my child" Viola said as she began to fall asleep herself.

Moments later Terrador came into the room and smiled seeing Cynder cuddle under his mate's wing. Moving over to join them he laid down with Cynder in the middle of him and Viola covering them both with his much larger wing and began to rest his head. Looking forward to the wall in front of his he could see their shadows and there staring at Cynder were the white pupil-less eyes of Dark Cynder, noticing she was being watched she turned her eyes towards Terrador who was unfazed by her. "It's alright, we will protect her. We will always be here for the both of you." Terrador said in a fatherly tone looking to Cynder and back to the shadow who nodded and began to shrink until the shadow was gone.

And with that the green guardian began to fall asleep. That night for the first time Cynder didn't have any nightmares nor would she ever from this point on since she would now sleep next to her mother and father, Viola and Terrador.
