As the sun rose over the land that morning, everyone saw the beauty of mother Earth. Once again the first one to awaken was Pyro. His eyes slowly opened and as he awoke he took a look around him. The morning dew of the grass was giving of small shimmers of light. The lake nearby was shining as the morning sun reflected upon its surface.
Pyro let a light warm smile go across his face. He then got up and stretched out his body like a cat. He then let out a big yawn showing his razor sharp fangs. He then cracked his neck and started to walk through the morning grass. He then looked back at the group. They were all sleeping soundly.
He then turned his attention to his mate, Star. She was curled up in a ball and her tail was in front of her face. Pyro looked at her and thought, 'She's so cute when she sleeps like that.' He then went into the woods and disappeared.
Later on everyone else began to wake up. Star uncurled herself and stretched herself out. She then looked around and noticed that Pyro was gone. She then asked, "Does anyone know where Pyro went?" Everyone began to look around and they all noticed that he was gone.
Sparx yawned and said, "He went off earlier with a smile on his face. I'm sure he'll be back sooner or later." Star let out a sigh of relief and sat down. Tremor then sat next to her and asked, "You really worry about him don't you?" She blushed as she nodded to the earth dragon.
Candice bumped Tremor with her head and said, "Tremor don't embarrass her like that." "It was just a question. I didn't mean to embarrass her" he said while grabbing his arm.
Star then said, "Candice its fine. I've got nothing to be embarrassed about. I love Pyro and I don't ever want anything to happen to him." Hearing this Ember smiled and said, "I guess it's our job to make sure the guys stay out of trouble." With that all the girls laughed together leaving the guys to make sour faces.
Flame then said, "Dragoness." "I know right." Spyro said in response. Tremor walked over to them and said, "I guess my dad was right. Girls are trouble, but we in the end we need them." The guys all nodded in agreement. They then heard Pyro's voice, "Donfth forget they veed us ftoo."
They all turned around to see Pyro with vines in his mouth. Star walked up to him and asked, "And where have you been?" Pyro spit out the vines and said, "I was just grabbing breakfast. No need to bite my head off." With one big pull Pyro yanked all his kills through the bushes and trees.
The groups' jaws dropped as they saw the banquet Pyro presented before them. There were 3 sheep, 2 big cat fish, an alligator with burn marks across its scales, a net with eggs in it, and finally a warthog with its tusks yanked out.
The guys mouths watered as they saw all the food Pyro had brought to them. Pyro then looked into the tree and saw Sparx. He then said, "Oh yeah, Hey Sparx look what I got!" Sparx shifted his view and saw Pyro with a net full of butterflies. He flew down and snatched as he said, "Have I told you how much I love you man." Pyro rolled his eyes and let everyone have at the prey.
Pyro yanked the eggs of the pile and went over to a pile of rocks. While Flame and Spyro were cooking the carcasses, Pyro was putting the rocks together and smashing down a soldier helmet.
He had smashed the helmet into a frying pan. He arranged the rocks like and lit a fire beneath them. He then started cooking. Spyro and the others started watching with curiosity. Pyro started cracking eggs and putting them inside his self-made pan. He looked over his shoulder to see the others watching him; he decided it was time to show off.
He through the three of the eggs in the air with his left paw and waited. In a split second he used his tail blade to slash the eggs open and knock the shells into the dirt. He then wrapped his tail around the pans handle (which was a stick) and started chopping up some of the plants he brought back with his claws.
He then brought the pan over and sprinkled a strange powder over the eggs. He was using his claws to repeatedly move and chop the eggs. He then through the pan over his head and breathed a stream of fire on it. This made the pan float for a few seconds. When he ceased his fire he caught the pan and sprinkled a different powder on them. Pyro had made scrambled eggs.
He then grabbed three bowls he had made out of other helmets and put the eggs inside. He then brought the food to everyone and put it in front of them. He then said, "Okay eat up!" Star was the first to try this new food. As she took that first bite her eyes widened. She then yelled, "This is amazing!" She then put her snout in the helmet bowl and started devouring the eggs. Everyone else then tried the eggs and made the same look. They then started attacking the eggs in the same manor. When they had finished eating everything they were on their way.
While the group was walking, Flame found himself deep in thought. Ember could see that he had something on his mind that he had been thinking about. She moved closer and asked, "Hey Flame, what's on your mind?" He looked at her and said, "Something's been on my mind about that fight Pyro had with Gaul."
Flame then walked up and got beside Pyro and asked, "Hey, I was wondering... where did that power you used come from?" Pyro shrugged and said, "I don't know. It felt like it came from deep inside me, but it wasn't my natural energy." Flame then asked, "Okay well... how come you didn't use your full power in that fight. You didn't use nova mode or your elemental master thing."
Sparx then flew down and said, "Maybe he didn't want to hurt his ally. I think he was holding back purpose." Everyone shot Sparx a glare as he finished his comment.
Pyro sighed and said, "First of all, to answer your previous question Flame. If I had used my full power in that fight Gaul would have used against all of us with those swords of his. Plus in my elemental master form I double in size. I figured the bigger I was the more he'd end up slicing me."
Flame thought it over and thought he was right. Pyro then continued, "Secondly, if I were working with Gaul I wouldn't have taken such a beating and I wouldn't have cut his arm off." Sparx had a irritated look at being proven wrong. He was still going to watch Pyro like a hawk (kind of like how hawks watch him when their hungry).
As they kept walking Tremor caught the scent of something. He sniffed the ground and his eyes shot wide. He then yelled, "Guys hold up! Look at this!" Everyone came back to see what he was talking about. In the dirt was an ape, human, and grublin footprints. Stella then looked over a hill and saw moving smoke heading right in their direction.
She then yelled, "Their coming back, we have to get out of here!" Candice looked around and said, "There's no where to go, we're completely exposed out here!" Spyro looked around frantically trying to find a place for them to hide. He then spotted a cave in the side of a cliff. He then yelled, "Everyone in there, quick!"
The group followed him without hesitation. Pyro then turned around to see that the search party had spotted them. Pyro then yelled ahead, "We have to hurry, their after us!" Everyone entered the cave with Pyro coming in last. He then turned around and shot a fire-ball at the mouth of the cave sealing it."
Spyro then looked around and asked, "Is everyone here?" Pyro looked and saw that everyone was accounted for. "Looks like we all made it." Sparx then said, "Well we're stuck in here, now what?" Pyro looked deeper into the cave and said, "I'm sure we'll find a way out if we keep going." Everyone followed Pyro into the cave and made sure to keep an eye out.
Sparx then flew up ahead and saw something. He then said, "Hey guys, check this out!" Everyone came and saw what he was talking about. There was a stone wall with large painting drawn on it. The picture was of 4 silver dragons standing side by side. Sparx then said, "No not that, THAT." Hearing the dragonfly's words everyone looked down and received a shock.
Below the silver dragons was a purple dragon on one side and another silver dragon beside him. Pyro then said, "That's the first king of the dragon city, Titanus." Hearing that Spyro then said, "Then that must be the first purple dragon." Spyro then thought, 'So Malefor was telling the truth. There were others before him.' Spyro then eyed the silver dragon and the purple dragon. He then said, "They look exactly the same. Except their color of course." Stella then looked to the side to see more pictures. She then said, "There are more over here!"
The picture of the two dragons split up and were opposite sides of the wall. The purple dragon ancestry on the left, and the kings ancestry on the right.
Everyone kept walking down the ancient hallways of stone and kept looking at the pictures. Finally Spyro stopped at a picture he knew all to well, Malefor. It looked like the same picture in the ruins of Warfang he saw. Spyro glared at the picture before following the others.
Stella then noticed that Pyro had stopped at a picture down the hall. He was looking at a picture of a golden dragon that looked very similar to him. She then asked, "Do you know him?" He nodded and said, "That's my grandfather, Maximus." After the statement Pyro moved down to another picure and sat down. Spyro had caught up and noticed that Pyro had a sad look on his face. Spyro then looked up to see a picture of a large red dragon and a blue dragoness.
He then asked, "Who are they?" Pyro sighed and said, "Those are my parents." Spyro looked shocked and looked at them. He then said, "I know they are proud of you Pyro." He laughed and said, "I know my mother is, but I just wish my dad was still here. But I know he'll always be with me." Spyro smiled at hearing those words.
He then heard Sparx's voice say, "Uh, Spyro, Pyro… you better come take a look at this." The two dragons came down through the tunnel and met up with the others. They both noticed the shocked looks on their faces. On the right side was Pyro's parents caring for him as a hatchling, but that wasn't what had then shocked. Both dragons looked to the left and saw what everyone was staring at. On the wall was a picture of Spyro's purple egg and his parents. Spyro's jaw dropped as he saw it. On the wall was a picture of Ignitus and white dragoness. Those were Spyro's parents.
Spyro then looked down and said, "Ignitus is my father. So that must be my mother." Pyro saw the look on Spyro's face (it was the same one he had on a second ago). Cynder moved over and hugged him as she said, "Don't worry Spyro, if she's alive we'll find her." Spyro smiled half heartedly and nodded.
The dragons then continued down the hall as they saw Pyro and Spyro's pictures on the wall. The pictures showed all of their battles in the past. Spyro's battles against Cynder, Gaul, and Malefor were seen. While Pyro's battles against Sterns, the Uralta, and Jones were seen on the other side.
As they past throughout the next tunnel they saw a picture of Spyro and Pyro at their current age standing side by side. They then saw a message written between the two dragons. They decided to read it.
Spyro: When the darkness returns to engulf the light
Pyro: And plunge the world into endless night
Spyro: New heroes will rise and the dark threat they will meet
Pyro: Learning new skills to earn the peace the seek.
Spyro: They will learn of the power that cannot be taught
Pyro: The power of the 'Celestials' that has long been forgot
Spyro: The purple dragon with four elements of light
Pyro: The dragon king with a mighty fire blazing bright
Both: When the darkness lets their fury burn, they will be defeated by the brothers that have returned.
Pyro and Spyro looked at one another. Pyro then remembered the picture of the silver dragons, Titanus, and the purple dragon. Spyro also remembered the time lines they saw leading up to this.
Both dragons then said, "We're brothers." Everyone's jaws dropped (Sparx fainted on the ground). Spyro then said, "Our ancestor's were both born of those silver dragons." Pyro then said, "And our time lines both lead to this moment. We were destined to meet again and battle this evil together." Spyro smiled as he said, "So that's just what were going to do, all of us."
It was then Candice noticed something beneath both their pictures. She then asked, "What are those things?" Pyro turned around and saw what she was looking at. He then said, "There switches, and if there are two of them, that means we have to pull them at the same time." Spyro stood on his hind legs and grabbed the switch in his jaws. Pyro did the same and got ready to pull. Candice then counted, "1… 2… 3!" Both dragon pulled at the same time and unlocked the gate.
The wall then started rising sliding up and revealed the next room. Everyone's eyes then widened as they saw what was inside. In the next room were floating clear crystals. Pyro walked in and said, "These are the same crystals I flooded with my ancestral energy." Flame followed his statement and said, "And the same ones that were in Gaul's swords." Ethan counted the gems and said, "Hey there's one for each of us, no wait there are 3 extras."
Candice then said, "We better take them, we don't when these will come in handy." Everyone nodded and went to the crystals. Each of them grabbed one, while Pyro grabbed the two extras. Once the crystals were put away they continued deeper into the cave. As they walked they finally found the way out of the cave. As they reached the exit they came to see they were at the top of a mountain.
Pyro then turned to Tremor and asked, "Do you think you can get us down there?" Tremor laughed and said, "No problem." He then smashed his front paws down and created earth ledges that everyone could jump on. As they made their way down Spyro began to remember where they were. He then said, "Guys were past the forbidden forest. The oceans only a small walk away. Once we get there it's only about a 3 or 4 hour flight to the chronicler." Pyro smiled and said, "Finally we're getting somewhere. Let's go guys!"
Everyone got down the mountain and rested at the bottom. They then walked through the forest and finally made it to the ocean. Stella then asked, "How long till we reach the chronicler from here?" Spyro then guessed and said, "If we start flying now we should be there by nightfall. Let's go."
The group of dragons took off into the sky and flew across the ocean. They were finally on their way to the chronicler. Hopefully he'll spread some light on things.
