*The trio was walking down the path. Spyro and Cynder were wearing their backpacks and Sparx was sitting on Spyro's head. Cynders tail was bandaged up because of the big fight with the beast. Spyro looked at it while they were walking*
Spyro: Cynder are you sure your ok?
*Cynder nuzzled him affectionately*
Cynder: Of course I am….
Sparx: Yeah! Spyro stop being a worry wart….. besides we are nearly to Mom and Dad's place! ….and Dad is a bigger worry wart then you are.
*Spyro rolled his eyes as Cynder giggled*
Spyro: I hope they won't be too mad... it's been three years...
Cynder: Their your sons... What do they have to be mad about? They'll be thrilled to see you...
Sparxs: Mom, sure... .Dad? *Sparxs shudders a little.* Oh god the lectures...
Spyro: His lectures aren't that bad...
Sparxs: Was for me...
Cynder: No surprise there...
*Spyro, Cynder, and Sparx kept on walking down the trail until Spyro and Sparx got to a very familiar place*
Spyro: Here we are!
Sparx: Home sweet home…..
*Cynder looked at their home and smiled*
Cynder: So where are you parents?
Sparx: Don't know
Spyro: Mom? Dad!?
*Near there home was a tree, which was hollowed out. It was where Spyro and Sparxs use to sleep. Spyro and Sparks were surprised to see that the tree had been worked on. Spyro and Sparxs both suspected their parents had worked on their house while they had been gone for three years.*
Spyro: *Spyro looked around the tree.* Mom... Dad?
Sparxs: *Sparxs was searching the top of the tree.* Pops...? Mother?
Cynder: *Cynder was looking around the surrounding area, from a sitting position.* ...
*Spyro, Cynder, and Sparx then saw two adult dragons flies one red and one blue pulling a dead butterfly on a leaf towards the tree.*
Spyro: Mom! Dad!
*The pink dragon fly looked up with a big gasp as well as the blue one*
Nina: Spyro….? Sparx!?
*Nina flew up to the two hugging Sparx and hugging Spyros neck at the same time*
Flash: Three years boys and you never wrote
Sparx: Oh.. Come on Dad! At least I kept Spyro safe….
Flash: ... *Flash tried to look serious, but the more he tired, the bigger his smile gopt.* My boys... have grown! *Flash then came in with his own tight hug.*
Spyro/Sparxs: Eheheheh...
Nina:Awe, this is such a surprise! ...Oh? *Nina loosed her hug when she saw Cynder in the corner of her eye,* Oh my... Look...
Flash: Huh? *Flash turned from Spyro and Sparxs.*
Cynder: *Cynder looked nervous, she was using her index claw to draw circles in the sand as she was blushing to Spyro's parents. She was very shy towards them.* ...H... Hi...
Nina: It looks like... Spyro brought a girl home...
*Sparx face palmed*
Sparx: Yes... Yes, He did….
*Nina flew closer to Cynder*
Nina: Awww. Spyro…. she's gorgeous!
*Cynder blushed*
Cynder: T-thank you m-ma'am
Nina: Call me Nina... what's your name, before you start calling me mom of course!
Cynder: Cynder….
Nina: Nice to meet you Cynder
Flash: *Flash crossed his arms and sized up Spyro. He was happy to see Spyro so strong.* Man! My boy has Grown! ... So Proud...
Cynder: *Cynder was shy, she still had to look away.* He is... really quite a gentleman too...
Sparxs: And he still gets into trouble...
Spyro: *Spyro glares at his brother.* Oh come on!
Nina: Well, I'm glad to see you all so happy...
*Flash and Nina gesture Spyro, Cynder, and Sparxs towards the house.*
Flash: So... Do you two have any wild stories to tell us?
Spyro/Sparxs: Plenty!
*Spyro, Cynder, Sparx, Nina, and Flash all were in a circle while Spyro and Cynder told their stories*
Nina: Cynder…... I'm so sorry about everything you went through….
Cynder: W-wait your not concerned?
Nina: Concerned about what?
Cynder: Well, being with Spyro.
Nina: Why would we? None of that was your fault.
Flash: Indeed.
Sparx: I wouldn't say that Spikey can be quite wild
*Spyro rolled his eyes*
Spyro: *Spyro snaped his teeth at Sparxs quickly.* I said no jokes!
Sparxs: Oh, sorry dude...
Nina: From what I heard... All three of you... went through so much,... War... Sadness... and a lot of hardship...
Flash: And I will tell all three of you, since you're all a part of the family...
Cynder: I'm... a part of...
Flash: No matter who is against you... Your Family will never betray you...
Sparxs: ...
Spyro: Yeah...
Cynder: ... Y-... Yea...
*It was silent for a second.*
Cynder: I'm sorry... *Cynder started to tear up.* I'm sorry... *Cynder quickly exits the tree.*
*Spyro quickly followed her*
Spyro: Hey... You ok?
*It sounded like Cynder was crying. Spyro walked up to her side and sat next to her*
Cynder: *Smiled*
*Spyro was surprised to see her smile*
Spyro: *Spyro slowly sits by her. Cynder sat there silently. Spyro couldn't read her emotions.* ... Cynder... Are you okay? *Cynder turned her head even further away.*
*Spyro wrapped his wing around her*
Cynder: I'm sorry it's just... I-I never expected this...
*Spyro nuzzled her*
*Spyro and Cynder started nuzzling each other's neck affectonately. Spyro's family tried to give them this moment as they paid attention from inside.*
Cynder: I don't want to lose this…. *Cynder felt Spyro's neck for a moment, before memories started to creep in. She held Spyro's paw tightly. She spoke to Spyro privately through a whisper.* I... don't... want to lose you...
Spyro: *Spyro hugged her shoulders gently. Causing Cynder to shiver a bit as Spyro pulled her close wrapping his tail around hers.* What... do you mean?
Cynder: I... I don't... *Cynder lifted up Spyro's chin with hers.* I don't want to lose you... or my new family... Not to the darkness... not to anyone...
*Spyro looked at Cynder*
Spyro: I promise that won't happen
*Nina flew over*
Nina: Don't worry sweetie you won't lose us and we won't lose you
*Nina hugged Cynder neck*
Flash: How long do you guys suppose you'll be staying with us? *Flash and Sparxs slowly joined them outside.* Hey, why don't I set some traps... and maybe we'll get some meat for you guys for dinner... Huh?
Spyro: Oh... uh... is it alright if we stay a little while? We feel at home here….
Flash: That's a silly question son... of course you can...
*Spyro and Cynder stare at each other, both of them blushed as they thought about the future.*
Spyro: What do you say...? Want to stay here awhile...?
Cynder: I'd love to
*Spyro smiles and nuzzled her neck.*
Sparx: Wait!
*Everyone looked at Sparx.*
Sparx: So that's how you get all those sheep!
*Everyone started laughing*
[Flash and Nina's home, Mid Night.]
Spyro: *Spyro yawns as he exits the tree that everyone had returned to. Everyone was asleep, Spyro had noticed Cynder had exited the tree as well.* ...
Cynder: *Cynder was a distance away from the house. She looked deep in thought, or upset, for she was slumped against a small tree near the water*
Spyro: *Spyro silently approached her.* ...
Spyro: Cynder? Are you alright?
*Cynder jumped back in surprise and almost fell in but Spyro was able to reach out and catch her, pulling her back. There faces were really close together*
Spyro: Are you ok?
Cynder: Y-Yeah *She blushed.*
Spyro: You seem... a little nervous... *Spyro looked around for a moment, before looking at her closely.* ... Are you... Are you not wanting to stay? Or was it... because of... *Spyro had to look away.* Last night...
Cynder: I-I don't know... Remember when we were fighting that monster...?
Spyro: Yeah…..? why?
*Cynder looked at him*
Cynder: I can't get that image out of my head as you stabbed its heart...
Spyro: Wait... *Spyro lost his grip to Cynder's shoulder.* I thought... you defeated the beast,...
Cynder: Wait... You don't remember?
Spyro: No... not exactly... just... a feeling... *Spyro began to trail off.* But it doesn't matter! I'll be here to protect you...
Cynder: *Cynder looked down.* But... that's just it... *Cynder reached over and pressed her paw against his chest.* I don't... think you can handle... much more stress...
Spyro: You don't think I... can?
Cynder: I think... you just tried... and face it Spyro... War has paid its toll on both of us... *Cynder leaned in close to Spyro.*
Spyro: …. *the wo fell silent and stared into the night sky.*
Cynder: Let's stay here... and let's stay at peace... and never leave each other...
Spyro: *Spyro held Cynder hand*
Alright….. *Spyro nodded*
*Cynder smiled at him and laid her head on his shoulder*
Spyro: Wanna head inside?
*Cynder didn't respond*
Spyro: Cynder?
*He realized Cynder was already fast asleep.*
[In the morning]
Flash: Alriiiight! *Flash chimed as he stirred a pot of stew, it had a roast of solid meat cubes.*
Cynder: *Cynder sniffed the air gently as she sat on a log with Spyro.* Man, Oh! Man! Doesn't that smell good!
Spyro: Dad spoiled me as a kid with his stew...
Sparxs: *Sparxs had his own butterfly stew as he hovered by Spyro and Cynder.* It's why I call you a fat dragon!
Nina: *Nina called from the tree house.* Don't make fun of your brother if his girlfriend is going to be living with us!
Spyro: *Spyro turned red.* M-Mom... Don't say it like that...
Cynder: Don't worry mom, I feel much more than just his girlfriend.
Spyro: Don't just call her MOM!
*Cynder gave Spyro a quick kiss on the cheek*
Cynder: You're cute when you're frustrated.
*Spyro blushes more*
Nina: Awww! That's so sweet.
Sparxs: Oh god, this trip is turning into a nightmare! *Sparxs the raises a hand up.* I vote they get their own tree!
Flash: Hmm...
Spyro: Oh brother...
Cynder: *Cynder just giggled.* ...
[Afternoon, near the River by the house]
Cynder: Wow... this place... I see why you call it home...
Spyro: In the past... I didn't know about dragons... this was all I knew...
Cynder: *Cynder was watching fireflies fly around them.* ... It must have been so nice...
Spyro: It still is...
Spyro: Despite….. How nice it is…. I'm still glad I left.
*Cynder looked at him*
Cynder: How come…..?
*Spyro smiled*
Spyro: Cause I wouldn't have met you…. or the guardians
Cynder: ... Yeah... I guess that's the best way to look at... how things turned out... Things turned out to be so peaceful after the war… *Cynder cuddled her head into Spyro's chest.* Ooooh... This feels like a dream...
Spyro: Keep dreaming it... becauses you're not dreaming... This is real….. I'm here... with you... We're going to live here together,...
Cynder: Teehee….. Sparxs would see "EW" ...
Spyro: Eheheh... Yeah...
Cynder: *Cynder closed her eyes,* If this is a dream... I don't want to wake up...
*Spyro wrapped both his wings around her hugging her*
Spyro: Then your wish is my command…..
*Thier tails would wrap around each other, tightly.*
Cynder: So stay with me... we'll be at peace... filled with love...
Spyro: Yeah...
?: Is that what you truly believe...?
*A thick fog appeared around the swamp. Spyro and Cynder saw a dark dragon across the river. It was Necron.*
Spyro: It's you...
Necron: Do you truly... believe that?
Cynder: Wha...What?
Necron: *Necron slowly dipped himself in the river, and began to walk through it. Approaching Spyro and Cynder meancenessly.*
*Fish and other life in the river slowly rose to the surface. As poison began to spread across the river. The fish died as Necron passed by them.*
Spyro: What do you want Necron?
Necron: You know exactly what….. Spyro…...
*Necrons growls*
Necron: I don't want to do this... but you're too dangerous…
Spyro: You're the one accusing me mister... *Spyro slowly got up.*
Cynder: Spyro, no don't... *Cynder tried to stand and hug Spyro, trying to hold him back.* You can't do this...
Necron: Yes, Spyro... Don't do this... we don't want to release that pit of evil inside you... *Necron reached their side of the beach causing Spyro and Cynder to back up, in slight fear.* ... Your sick dragon... You're a bomb waiting to explode...
Cynder: What do you mean?
Necron: I don't need to explain anything.
Cynder: Spyro is not a time bomb!
*Necron didn't say anything*
Necron: So you want proof... *Necron slowly inched closer to Spyro. He sized him up.*
Spyro: *Spyro took Cynder's paws off his shoulder, and stepped her back. All Spyro could do at this moment was stare at him, square in his bright green eyes.* ...
*Without warning Necron punched Spyro square in the jaw.*
*To Cynder the whole thing went in slow motion as Spyro fell to the ground*
Cynder: What the hell!?
*Cynder started to move towards Spyro but Necron pushed her away*
Necron: Stay back!
*Spyro got up*
Necron: I'm sorry about this but I have to do this
*Necron swung his claws at him*
Necron: RAH!
*Spyro braced himself for the pain but felt nothing. As he opened his eyes a tear fell. Cynder was in front of him and took the claw from Necron*
Cynder: GAH!
*Spyro felt something in him... something snapped...*
Spyro: *Spyro's eyes opened up like gates. For tears slowly fell from his eyes. He smiled sadly.* You... hehe...
*Spyros scales started to turn more darker*
Spyro: Have chosen death…
Necron: Umph... *Necron grunted as he spread his wings and hopped into the air. He hovered himself over the river.* And you... have chosen a dark path Spyro... one that will lead to Hollows City's demise...
Cynder: Hollow City...? *Cynder then turned her attention back to Spyro. Whose body was covered in dark scales. However, to Cynder there was still hope. Some of his scales were still purple. To her, Spyro was still struggling inside.*
Necron: I can't allow my home to fall to you dragon...
Spyro: *Spyro bared his teeth.* I will protect her... Heh... Nothing will stop me... Your demise was your choice you demon,... *The dark aura started to get thicker.* You attacked Cynder... Cynder is pure... she is love... I will separate good and evil ... PROPERLY!
*Spyro dashed at Necron.*
Cynder: Spyro! DON'T!
*Spyro tackled him down into the water.*
Spyro: GRAAHH!
*Spyro started to push Necrons head below the water trying to drown him*
Spyro: *Spyro's voice echoed through the water.* Lets see how you last
Cynder: SPYRO!
*All of a sudden Spyro felt weaker, his muscles started to feel sore.*
Spyro: What the-
*All of a sudden Necron overpowered Spyro and pushed him down*
Necron: Nice try.
Spyro: *Spyro was too angry to simply lose here. Spyro's mouth started to pour out purple flames that started to charge, even in the water.* GRRRR!
*Necron sensed the power that Spyro was producing from his mouth.*
Necron: TSK! *Necron kicked off the purple dragon and used his own wings to shoot himself safely away from Spyro and the river.*
*With a BZZZZT! Spyro's dark convexity blast shot out of the river.*
Necron: *Necron watched the river calm down with a heavy splash of falling water.* Huh... Hm? *Spyro was already on the other side of the river.*
Spyro: You're just slippery...
Cynder: *Cynder rushed to Spyro's side. However, once Cynder saw Spyro's evil smile. She froze.* ...Sp... Spyro...?
*Spyro gave her a glare*
Spyro: Stay out of this...
*Cynder started to back away out of pure shock and fear.*
Necron: Hmmmm…...
*Spyro shot a dozen icicles at Necron which he easily dodged*
Spyro: STAY STILL!
Necron: I think not…..
Spyro: *Spyro took three strides and he was in the air, soaring straight for Necron.* Then I'll come to you!
Necron: *Necron sidestepped to the right.* Hmph...
Spyro: GR! *Spyro spun a kick, but Necron merely tucked up an arm and blocked with ease.*
Necron: A purple dragon... filled with hate... Just like Malefor:
Spyro: *Spyro shivered with hatred.* SHUT... UP! *Spyro threw four punches, each one was swung so hard, there was a swoosh sound next to Necrons ear. Necron had easily danced and weaved around Spyro.*
*Necron grabbed Spyros arms and threw him back in the river which Spyro was able to stop himself using his wings*
Spyro: Thought you could get me with tha-
*Spyro was interrupted by Necron tackling him and sending him down to the lake*
Spyro: WHY YOU!
Necron: This is our savior?
*Necron punched him*
Spyro: GAH!
Necron: You were supposed to protect us now!? Look at you!
Spyro: Hehe...
*Necron didn't understand why he was laughing*
Necron: Why are you laughing?
*Spyro grabbed his neck*
Necron: Urk!
*Spyro used his ice element to make his hands colder and colder as he slowly choked Necron*
Necron: *Nercon grabbed Spyro's head and slammed it against the rocks in the bed of the river, as Spyro and Necron fought to stay above water.*
Spyro: GRR! *Dazed Spyro still held on,*
Necron: *Necron continued to bash Spyro into the rock next to them,* GRRRRR!
Cynder: SPYRO!
*Cynder tackled Necron*
Cynder: LEAVE HIM ALONE!
*Cynder used her fear element on him completely dazing him*
Necron: Ugh…! What the? *Necron started to see double or triple, his vision was blurry and dark. Cynder danced around Necron's movements.*
*Cynder clawed his chest as Necron screamed in agony*
Cynder: Leave!
*Cynder grabbed his neck with her fangs and threw him onto the opposite side of shore*
Necron: KRAAAK! *Necron roared as he rolled across the sand. The sand stuck to his blood on his chest, causing him to look really bloody and dirty.* ...Tsk... Gah... *Necron felt his chest, soaking his hand his own blood.* ... Dang tough girl...
Spyro: *Spyro gasps as he comes out of the river once again.* It's... NOT OVER!
Cynder: *Cynder however, hooked around his arms.* Spyro! You have got to stop...!
Spyro: Not yet! Not YET!
Cynder: Why!
Spyro: He hurt you!
Necron: Hmph...
*Spyro and Cynder continue to silently shuggle in the river.*
Cynder: Spyro, please...
*Spyro kept trying to move towards Necron*
Cynder: Spyro!
*Spyro looked back at Cynder*
Cynder: Please! ….Just stop…...
*A small tear falls*
*Spyro looked back at Necron then looked at Cynder.*
Cynder: Spyro,... Please?
*Spyro took in a deep sad breath and his scales started to go back to normal*
Necron: *Necron limped to his feet.*
Spyro: *Spyro's eye was twitching mad.* ...I... I want to stop him... *Spyro's nose started to bleed, and so did one of his eye.* ... Cynder... isn't... safe...
*Spyro slowly faints.*
Cynder: *As the two dragons float in the river. Cynder kept Spyro above water, as she patted his face.* ... Spyro...? Spyro!?
Necron: I guess I made myself clear...
*Necron started to leave, but before he reached the thicker trees, he turned to face Cynder one more time.*
Cynder: *Cynder glared at Necron with hatred.*
Necron: Oh! … and little Cynder... Your Father... gives his regards...
