Didn't think I'd get the next chapter out this quickly, but I did a full 4200-word chapter in one sitting, so here's this chapter! Bit shorter than normal, but there are only a few in Purple Legacy that are this short. I hope you enjoy, as always, and if possible, leave a review. I love seeing what people make out of these chapters.

"Freeze! Rubblerust! I found a book that might help!" Cynder called.

The two dragons quickly ran to Cynder's side, and Freeze gasped when she saw the name of the book. "Glimpses of the Future! This could help a lot!" Freeze exclaimed.

"If Cynder is experiencing glimpses of the future," Rubblerust said.

Cynder rounded on him. "You wanted to join me and Freeze! If you're not willing to be helpful, then you can leave!" she snapped. "Plus, this book, as stated by the name, is about dreaming about the future. This may determine whether or not my nightmares are a warning!"

Rubblerust rolled his eyes as he walked away from the shelf and towards the reading area and sat down, with Cynder and Freeze following him with a shrug. Cynder sat in between Freeze and Rubblerust so they could both look as well, and she searched through the table of contents for something interesting.

After about fifteen minutes, they found something. "'The ability to dream of the future is something that not every dragon experiences. Most of the time, a dragon who gains this ability only gains it for a small amount of time before they lose it. But I, Earthshaker, have been the third dragon in history to have had this ability my whole life, and I have had many dreams about events way down the future. I believe the ancestors want me to warn future generations about some happenings, and there's one event in particular that I want to bring most of my attention to. I go into more detail into it on page 135,'" Cynder read, looking at Freeze and Rubblerust. "Do you think we should check out that page? For some reason, it seems to be kind of important to me. I don't know why."

"Why not? It wouldn't hurt to take a look," Freeze said, shrugging. "Earthshaker thinks it's important."

Cynder looked at Rubblerust, wanting his opinion before she went on. Rubblerust hesitated before drawing in a deep breath and speaking. "Cyril told me once in our history classes that Earthshaker was one of the greatest guardians of all time, with his future sight. I originally dismissed it as myth, just like your dreams, Cynder," he explained. "But now the dots seem to be connecting. This book, written by Earthshaker himself, pretty much confirms the fact that he had future sight. I think we should see what Earthshaker's main concerns are about."

Cynder and Freeze both nodded in agreement, and Cynder turned slowly to the page that Earthshaker mentioned. The title read 'The War of Eternal Darkness'. Cynder immediately began to shake with concern as she read the title. She began to read the content of the chapter out loud.

"'Just a few nights ago I had one of the worst dreams I've ever had. A massacre, unlike any I've ever seen before. A dark purple figure was leading a bunch of smaller dragons, with dominantly black scales, complete with green stripes. There were several splotches of green liquid splattered all over the ground, and these strange dragons seemed to be absorbing the puddles of liquid to increase their attack power. They seemed to spit out the same green substance, that took dragons down almost instantly. There were also a few other dragons, black in colour as well, but with dark purple markings down their limbs and on their chests and foreheads. They were merciless fighters, fit with crooked, jagged fangs and long, curved claws.'"

She stopped reading. Cynder looked at Freeze and Rubblerust with a shocked look, only registering now that her heart was beating frantically against her chest. "That doesn't sound good," Cynder murmured. "Green liquid. It sounds like poison. Poison dragons maybe? I saw a few in my recent nightmare, and they were black with green stripes."

"Keep reading, Cynder," Freeze urged. "This could be extremely important. I for one want to know more of what this Earthshaker knows."

Cynder turned back to the book and continued reading. "'I saw a dark purple, almost black dragoness among the defenders of the city that was under attack. Her name was Cynder, if I remember hearing it correctly. She seemed to be mourning as she fought the onslaught of attackers until I saw what she must have been mourning over. Three viciously mauled bodies, drenched in blood from burns, cuts or bites. I don't know if she was close with them or not, or whether she was mourning because more dragons had fallen. I'd seen her past in an earlier dream I'd had. And when she spoke, it sounded like she knew something like this would happen. Then I felt it within the dragoness. She'd dreamt of this moment. She had future sight.'"

Cynder paused, not wanting to continue as tears brimmed in her eyes with fear; her name had been directly used, and Earthshaker knew of her past. But she pressed on, going onto the next paragraph. "'It was tonight when I dreamt of the dark coloured dragoness Cynder again. She was with probably the strangest fire dragon I'd seen. Bright red scales, with bronze horns and underbelly, and innocent violet eyes. I could sense familiarity between them. Cynder seemed oblivious to it, but they had met before. It was the strangest thing I'd ever seen. However, Cynder seemed reluctant to trust this dragon. I don't know why.'"

"You're doing great, Cynder. You're almost done, read on," Freeze encouraged Cynder, who was quaking so heavily it was now visible.

The dark purple dragoness drew a shuddering breath, and with a shaky voice, she read the last paragraph. "'Lastly, I want to write out to the future, as I have with my past visions. Whoever is reading this in the future, this will be a dark time. If everyone works together, I believe you can all make it through this. Work together and be there for one another, no matter if you like each other or not. Persevere, as this seems like one of the darkest times this world will ever go through. And if Cynder's reading this, I want you to trust your friends with your life. They are probably the best strength you will ever have in times like this. Friends and family are important in dark times like this. And I please ask you to pull through. No matter how bad this hell will be, you can make it through this. I believe in you.'"

Cynder stared at the page with tears in her eyes for a long, long time. She didn't even turn to look at Freeze or Rubblerust sitting beside her, but they both had a paw on her shoulders, comforting her. "It's true. It's all true," Cynder muttered under some time. "Those dreams are warnings of what's to come. I… have… future sight…"

"Um… sorry to break the moment, but we really need to tell the guardians this," Rubblerust said, his voice filled with concern.

Cynder closed the book and looked at Rubblerust. After a few moments, she answered, "Yeah. I agree."

Cynder went to pick up the book, but Freeze stopped her. "Before we do that, I wanted to say that you did great. You were really brave reading that," she said.

The dark purple dragoness smiled and nodded, before picking up the book and leaving to go see the guardians. Cynder didn't have to walk out of the library as Cyril's voice piped up from beside her. "Cynder. Are you alright?" he asked.

Cynder hadn't noticed, but the tear streams were still evident on her cheeks. Freeze and Rubblerust walked up behind her and pushed her on. "We found something concerning Cynder's dreams that was… really big," Freeze explained.

Cyril's eyes widened. "What is it? Is it in the book?" he asked.

As if answering 'yes', Cynder placed the book in front of Cyril, who pushed the book he was reading aside, taking a careful look at the title and author of the book Cynder had handed him. "I've read this before. Probably about a hundred and fifty years ago, but I've read it." Cyril said with surprise.

Without speaking, Cynder opened to the page where Earthshaker addressed her and told Cyril to read the page to himself. She saw Cyril's surprise as he read through the page, eyes widening and expression filling with concern and shock. When he finished, he just stared at the page. "This… This explains a lot," he started, his voice croaky. "But now I know where I remembered your name from. Upon your first attack as Terror of the Skies, when you told us your identity, your name, I recognised it. I didn't know where, at the time, but I remembered it from this book. And as a matter of fact, so did the others, Ignitus included. They had all read this book. It was one of the books we had to study during our guardian training."

"It connects so many dots," Rubblerust piped up, and Cyril muttered and nodded with agreement.

"I… I need to take this to Terrador and Volteer. This is something they definitely need to look at," Cyril said. "Good find, you guys. And Cynder, go and rest. Upon reading that, my heart tells me that this War of Eternal Darkness is dawning. You need to be prepared. And I agree with Earthshaker's final comment there. I believe in you. And I'm sure your friends, as well as Spyro, do as well."

"Thanks, Cyril," Cynder said, smiling. "I guess I'll see you all later."

And with that, Cynder left the library. She spent the rest of the day playing with Forzen, while Spyro was doing some more training in the training arena, which was where Spyro seemed to spend most of his time nowadays, leaving Forzen being cared for by his friends' parents while Spyro was training and Cynder doing research or getting some sleep. She wondered if it was good for Forzen to be growing up like this, but she didn't see any change in his behaviour. He was a good-hearted little hatchling and was always happy. Within the two weeks Forzen had been alive, he had only ever cried a few times, but the number hadn't exceeded five, which was odd for a hatchling of his age; normally an outburst of tears happened at least once every day. But Cynder remembered what Spyro said about him upon naming him. He was strong. That probably allowed him to make it through the day with a smile.

I only hope that I could be like that, Cynder thought.

We've got something big getting close. This isn't going to be good, and trust me, when this War of Eternal Darkness begins, all hell will break loose.

Anyway, review time! To 'StoryWriter2015', I'm glad you're enjoying the story. Yeah, your assumptions are pretty close. It's not that much of a secret on what's going to happen. I'm not going to tell you which one of your opinions is the closest, but you're close.

To 'Derick Lindsey', Electrika is an interesting character to say the least. I had a lot of fun writing her scenes in this story, and she becomes a main plot point at one point in the story, and it was great writing that part. As for the fire dragon, I've written most of his scenes in Demonised now (he'll be a recurring character in the series) and I think I've written his scenes well. I really don't want to give anything else away so I'm going to shut up now. Glad you're enjoying this fanfic, and trust me, after writing 49 chapters of this thing, you're going to be in for a really enjoyable ride.

See yuz all later don't know when the next chapter will be out bye.
