The Power of the Light Gems

Smoke sobbed and sobbed in the professor's lab. Ember and Spyro tried to comfort him, but Smoke only turned away. Through tear filled eyes, his gaze turned onto a Light Gem, shining brightly in the moonlight. It spoke to him in a soft voice. He realised Ember 2's soul was communicating to him through a Light Gem. He snapped into reality again and grabbed the Light Gem. Spyro and Ember watched, as Smoke stared into the hazy, beautiful face of Ember 2, listening to her speaking.

"My soul remains good, Smoke Icefire. You can use this Light Gem to turn me back to what I was. I know you love me Smoke, but my heart is torn between you and Burn. But deep down inside, I have feelings for you," Ember 2 managed to say, before fading into the light.

Smoke smiled triumphantly. He turned to his companions.

"Come on you guys, we have to rescue Ember 2!" he persisted.

"But how?" questioned Ember.

"Ember 2's still in that machine right. Maybe, using that machine, we could reverse it by the use of a Light Gem, instead of a Dark Gem."

"That is brilliant!" chorused Spyro and Ember.

They were about to go out of the door when a very guilty looking Flame stopped them.

"What have you told them!" snarled Spyro.

"Nothing," squeaked Flame, his eyes growing wide with fear.

"Aw, come on Flame. You're not the type to keep secrets," said Smoke.

"Okay. I only told Burn this was all a set up. He didn't take it too well."

"Why you…" growled Smoke pouncing on Flame. Spyro and Ember pulled him off.

"Stop Smoke! We know you're angry, but Flame can help us. He can lead us to the cave again, he could also be an inside man," Ember spoke, smoothly.

"Yeah, more like inside idiot," muttered Smoke.

"Alright, I'll let Flame live. But if he screw's up again, I have the permeation to kill him!" Smoke snarled.

The dragons began to walk away and Flame stuck his tongue out at Smoke.

They are teenagers at the moment, very young teenagers. Hope you liked this chapter!
