Cynder woke up early and decided to go on a morning flight.
"Sparx! Can you pay attention." Sparx zipping side to side, looking in every direction that he believed to be possible.
"Sorry Hunter, just a lot on my mind." Sparx was truly worried about Spyro. Hunter had never seen such concern coming from Sparx. The Dragonfly have always been on the lighter side, even in bad situations.
"Apology accepted. Look over there." Sparx began to squint and eventually spotted a Black Dragoness flying around a lake.
"Well let's go then."
"Wait Sparx, we need to make sure that Spyro or Cynder aren't forced to do anything or are in danger, we can get close, just be quiet."
"Right I forgot it's Cynder she might be hiding Spyro, torturing him." A chill quickly ran down the spine of Sparx. Hunter looked back at the Dragonfly.
"You seem to over-exaggerate." Hunter along with Sparx made their way towards the lake Cynder was flying around while being careful to not be seen.
Cynder eventually flew back into the cave to see Spyro already awake. Spyro raising his head to spot the Black Dragoness landing within the cave.
"There you are Cynder. Where'd you go?"
"I just flew around a little. You ready to get going?"
"Yeah, let's get going, the sooner we get there better." Spyro stretched out and soon began flapping his wings. "Alright let's get going, if we go now we'll get there before nightfall."
"Spyro, one more thing."
"What's up?" Cynder quickly tapped Spyro on his snout.
"You're it!" Cynder took off flying away before Spyro could react.
"Hey no fair!"
"Hunter, can you see them."
"Yes, look over there," Hunter was pointing almost directly in front of him while hiding within a bush. "Be quiet, and don't move, they are flying in our direction." Cynder flew with the speed of lightning above Hunter and Sparx. Just behind Cynder was Spyro.
"Come get me Spyro, if you dare." Cynder looked back at Spyro with a smile on her face.
"I knew it, Cynder was keeping Spyro hostage, he must have just gotten free." Sparx was looking at Hunter proud of himself, believing to be correct.
"Or they are just playing a game."
"Oh, come one, come get me if you dare. That sounds like something a dark wizard would say." In the distance both Sparx and Hunter heard Spyro as well as Cynder laughing. Hunter felt a grin cross his face, and looked at Sparx. "Oh, get the grin out of here."
"It appears that they are already going to the Dragon city, we may want to move quickly if we wish to catch up."
Both Cynder and Spyro have spent much of their day flying. Both beginning to grow tired from the long flight.
"Hey Cynder, you wanna stop somewhere and rest for a few minutes?" Spyro looking at Cynder, panting heavily.
"Yeah that would be great." Cynder also growing tired from the extensive flight. The two Dragons found a river located within a forest, the two stopped there to rest. Spyro oddly recognized the area, though he couldn't tell from where.
"Have we ever been here before. For some reason if feels familiar." The Purple Dragon looking at Cynder. The Black Dragoness raised her head from the river where she was drinking.
"No not that I remember. It does look familiar for me too though." The two pondering to where they may have been, neither being able to identify the location. "So, about how much farther is the city?"
"If I were to take a guess based off how long we've been flying it is probably another two hours."
"This trip just keeps on getting better and- "The Dragons heard something moving within a bush. Both backed up, ready to attack. To their surprise, they saw a Cheetah go through the bush, it was Hunter. The two Dragons instantly let their guard down, happy to see a friend. Spyro quickly rushed over to greet Hunter.
"It's great to see you Hunter! Glad to know that you're ok." Spyro appeared to be very excited.
"And the same goes for you to Spyro, and Cynder." Cynder walked up to the Cheetah next to Spyro. "From what I've seen I'm you two are going to the Dragon City."
"Wait, how did you know where we were going, have you been watching us?" Cynder looking upon the Cheetahs eyes.
"My apologies, we had to make sure that you two weren't in danger." Spyro looked at the Cheetah with slight confusion.
"Hold on, we?" No sooner than Spyro said this a Dragonfly appeared to be flying towards them looking down panting.
"Hunter, can you slow down, I never took ninja classes unlike you." Sparx looked up to see a Purple Dragon. "Spyro!"
"Sparx!" The two brothers quickly rushed to each other, Sparx hugged Spyro on his snout.
"Next time you go out to save the world I'm not leaving you to do it alone."
"Noted." Spyro very happy to see his brother. Cynder as well as Hunter looked at the brothers smiling to see them reunite. Sparx took his attention from Spyro and looked at Cynder.
"Thank you Cynder." The Dragoness was puzzled by what the Dragonfly meant.
"For what?"
"You stuck by your promise, you took care of my little brother." Spyro looked at the Dragonfly.
"Little?" They all laughed, even Hunter.
"But anyway Cynder, I know I was tough on you before, but now you're good in my book." The Black Dragoness felt a smile across her face.
"Thank you, Sparx."
"But do all of you know what the most important thing out of all of this is?" They all looked at the Dragonfly wondering what would come from his lips. "Something important happened and my voice hasn't changed again!" A chuckle escaped from Spyro and Cynder's mouth. Spyro again looking at his brother.
"You know I never really did understand that." Spyro turned his head to Hunter. "So how are things in Warfang?"
"The city has seen great improvement. When you two defeated the Dark Master we no longer had to worry about the attacks. The city has prospered since." Spyro was glad to know that all was well at the city.
"How are the Guardians?"
"They are doing fine. They've been eager awaiting for your return." The Cheetah appeared to have realized to have forgotten something. "I almost forgot, where is Ignitus?" Spyro and Cynder looked at the Cheetah with a hint of sadness across their face. "I understand. May the Guardian rest in peace with the ancestors. That does raise a problem though." The two Dragons looked up to the Cheetah expecting unwelcome news. "I will tell you at the city, but we need to get going now if we want to get there before nightfall. I know of another route that we can take that would get us there in a little over an hour."
Spyro along with Sparx spent much of their time talking amongst each other. Eventually Sparx fell asleep on Hunter's shoulder. Not long after they first reunited that day, they could all see Warfang in the distance. All the damage previously done by the forces of Malefor were repaired, the wall along with its defense weapons were in pristine condition. Much of the city even appeared to be newly constructed.
"Wow, the city is doing really well." The Purple Dragon exclaimed aloud. Spyro and Cynder began to whisper among each other. "We're going to go on ahead to speak with the Guardians." The cheetah looked at Spyro.
"I understand, we will see you soon." Spyro along with Cynder took off soaring across the lands to the great city. They were both amazed by how the city had looked. When they were previously at the city they spent much of their time fighting rather than to appreciate the city.
"Wow this place looks way better then what I remember." Spyro looking at the Black Dragoness to his side.
"Well, it really didn't help that we were fighting most of the time that we were here."
"Point made." The two Dragons were focused on going to the main temple. The moles pointed their weapons at the Dragons, not realizing who they were over a distance until a mole named Mason called out to his fellow moles.
"Hold fire, it's the saviors of the planet! Hold fire!" The moles took their sights off the Dragons as they passed over the wall. "Welcome back!" Mason called as they passed. The two Dragons recognized the mole and smiled to see that him along with his comrades were alive and well. Spyro and Cynder reached the entrance to the Temple. Both entered a large building and went down a large hall until the Dragons reached the door that lead to the Guardian chamber. They shot a quick glance at each other, and opened the door. Inside was a circular room and to the back of the room there were four separate flags, each representing a specific element. In front of the flag each of the Guardians that represented that element sat. All looked up when they heard the doors open, to see the Purple Dragon, along with the Black Dragoness. Each of the guardians had a smile on their face.
"Welcome back," all the guardians said in unison. Terrador was the first to stand, then all the others. The young Dragons began to take a bow to the Elder Guardians, but before they could, both saw the Elder Guardians bow themselves.
"It is good to see that you two have returned." Terrador's voice echoed throughout the halls.
"Indeed, it is undeniably splendid to perceive that your reappearance has come deprived of any damages to yourself." Spyro heard a buzz of wings behind him.
"I swear when are you going to learn the language." Sparx looked ahead of Spyro at the Lightning Guardian. There seemed to be a slight laugh that came from Cyril and Terrador.
"You two saved this planet, we all thank you." Terrador's dominant voice continued to echo throughout the halls. The ice guardian appeared to be somewhat concerned.
"I know that you only just got back, but I must ask, where is Ignitus." Cynder stepped forward with a face of sadness.
"Ignitus," Cynder sighed, "Ignitus died getting us through the belt of fire." The news came as a great shock to the guardians.
"May he rest in peace with the ancestors." The guardians all said in unison. The room became silent for a few moments until Terrador broke the silence.
"That raises another issue. With the death of Ignitus, another must take his place." Cynder clocked her head sideways.
"Are you asking Spyro to become the Fire Guardian?" Cynder looking upon Terrador. Volteer opened his mouth to speak.
"While Spyro would make an excellent Fire Guardian, he uses all four elements. The Fire Guardian must be specialized into the element of Flame."
"Finally, he says something that's understandable." Sparx mumbled under his breath.
"But there aren't any other Dragons. They all died during the war with Malefor and his apes." Spyro looking intimately at the Lighting Guardian.
"That is what we thought, but I decided to do some research myself, and I believe that there may be other Dragons, they simply went into hiding. From what I can tell they developed their own cities or colonies." Hunter entered the room, but no one noticed over the conversation. Terrador looked to his side facing the Lightning Guardian.
"And how could we discover where they could possibly be?" Volteer turned his attention to the Cheetah in the back of the room.
"Hunter, can you please step forward." Hunter did as he was asked until he was in the middle of the room, between Cynder and Spyro. "You can use your hawks to identify any other Dragons, or am I mistaken?"
"They can, I will send them out right away."
"We appreciate it." Hunter quickly rushed out of the building. Cyril turned his attention to the Young Dragons.
"One last question. Where have you two been? We haven't heard from you since you set out to defeat Malefor." Spyro appeared to look nervous, turning his head to Cyril.
"Well- "Cynder quickly saved Spyro from embarrassing himself.
"We don't mean to be rude, but we haven't eaten anything for the past two days trying to get here. Do you mind if we were to talk about this tomorrow?" Terrador looked at the young Dragoness.
"Of course. Mason will escort you to the dining area, and then to your rooms." Spyro looked at the Green Dragon.
"Our rooms?" Sparx let out a chuckle.
"Spyro never had his own room back at home. He would just sleep outside mine." Sparx let out another laugh. The Purple Dragon looked at his brother.
"You haven't changed at all have you?"
"I'm the same old Sparx you've grown to know and love." Cynder rolled her eyes.
"That's great," Cynder said with a sarcastic tone to her voice. This caused the everyone in the room to laugh. A mole entered the room. "You called for me guardians." The mole had his eyes on the Purple and Black Dragons.
"Please escort Spyro and Cynder to the dining area, and to their rooms."
"Understood." Mason walked to the Dragons. "Hello, my name is- "Spyro interrupted Mason before he could finish his sentence.
"You don't need to introduce yourself Mason. We've already met, remember?" The Mole smiled.
"Glad to know that you haven't forgotten." The three were just about to leave the building, until Terrador called out.
"Good night young Dragons, we will see you tomorrow." The doors closed leaving the guardians in their chamber.
"Hey Spyro, I'll be heading to bed early."
"Alright Sparx see you tomorrow." The Dragon fly buzzed off to a different section of the Temple.
The two Dragons were walking next to eachother, they turned their head to speak with one with one another.
"Do you really think they'll find more Dragons." Cynder looking at Spyro waiting for an answer.
"I really hope so, it would be great to know that there's more to our kind than just us, and to know that that at least not as many Dragons died. We'll just have to wait and see."
"I suppose so."
Spyro moved next to Mason to speak with him. "So how have things been since we defeated the Dark Master."
"We haven't had any attacks; the city has prospered. Truly I believe this city has never seen such prosperity." Spyro and Cynder were both happy to see how well the city was doing. They all quickly took a left to see a large room with tables and seats. Not many were eating do to it being so late. Spyro and Cynder helped themselves to legs of lamb. Once both Dragons finished their meal they walked back to the door that led to the hallway where Mason was waiting. The Dragons were led to a spiral staircase going up. They walked up the tower's stairs until they nearly reached the top. Mason looked at Cynder.
"This is your room."
"Thank you, Mason. Real quick, where is Spyro's room?"
"His would be just above yours, at the top of the tower."
"Thank you, Mason. Goodnight!"
"Good night." Mason was put in a very good mood to see the two Dragons so excited to be in the city again. Mason and Spyro walked up the stairs for a short period of time reaching the top of the tower.
"This is your room."
"Thank you, Mason. Goodnight." Spyro began to enter his room until he heard a voice behind him.
"Goodnight Master Spyro." Spyro quickly looked back to see the mole gone.
"Master?" Spyro quickly moved on and entered his room to see it to be quite large. "Wow." Spyro was excited himself to have a room. There was just about nothing in the room aside for a fireplace and a pile of pillows, with Sparx asleep on one of the pillows. Spyro noticed that there appeared to be a balcony. Spyro walked over to it, but suddenly something shot into his room through Spyro's balcony. Instantly Spyro jumped back unsheathing his teeth and claws. He walked closer to whatever entered his room, it was Cynder. Spyro instantly relaxed seeing who it was.
"Did I scare you?" Cynder was laughing.
"Yeah just a bit. Why aren't you asleep?"
"Well, I forgot to tell you goodnight so I thought to jump up here." Cynder walked by close to the Purple Dragon brushing herself against him. Cynder whispered into his ear, "goodnight." She then quickly pressed her lips against Spyro's. Spyro's cheeks instantly turned red, not moving a muscle. A giggle escaped from Cynder's lips before she jumped from Spyro's balcony into her own. Spyro still not moving, after several moments he moved to the pile of pillows to lay his head on. As his eyelids began to droop down Sparx raised his head from the pillow he was on.
"You two seem to be getting along well."
