Chapter II: 10 hours to the wedding. Dragon Temple: 0700hrs (Seven o'clock a.m.)
The preparations for the big wedding are underway, and all seems to be going well, despite there being only 10 hours left. Masks are being hung all over the central room of the new Dragon Temple, perfect since the theme is a Masquerade.
"Alright people! There's only 10 hours left! We've got to get all of these masks up and get everything finished!" says the voice of Sparx, Spyro's step-brother and best man.
"Geez, Sparx, calm down a little!" says another voice that is only seen for a few seconds, but it noticeable as Ember, Spyro's old girlfriend. "By the way, have you seen Flame recently?
"No, he's been missing for 3 days! Something is very wrong here, but don't let Spyro know, it'll just freak him out more than he already is!" Sparx replies
"Got it." Ember tells the annoying dragonfly.
As this is going on, we change scenes and arrive at Spyro's dormitory room, whatever you practically call it. "Okay, I think I have everything covered. Now let me go over my checklist again." Spyro says as he starts to either mentally freak out or go over his checklist. "Okay, all I'm missing is a wedding present for Cynder. Now what could work?" He says as he starts to look around the room, until his eyes fall on what we're assuming to be the very same wall his sword was up against the previous night, spying the perfect gift sitting right there. "Perfect!" He exclaims.
We don't get to see what he's wrapping up for a wedding present, but instead we arrive outside the room in the Dragon Temple we started. As we start to get a focus of who is walking in, one of the figures stands out. It's Enchanting Ace, Malefor's demon, starting her mission. "Now, which of these gullible fools will I start with?" she asks herself, wondering who she'll draw under her power to get to Spyro. Just as she says this, she notices another dragon walking through the room. "Perfect" she says as the mysterious dragon leaves, she follows him.
A few seconds later, we arrive at wherever that dragon Enchanting Ace followed and the next thing we know, the two are talking. "Okay, I have no idea what you're trying to do, but get away from me!" the dragon says, scared out of his mind. "Look, kid, all I want is some information, where is the Purple Dragon?" she asks, a very simple question, but her manner of asking is creeping the other dragon out. "Look, I honestly don't know! Now get away from me!" the dragons says, slowly trying to run away. "Come back here!" Enchanting Ace says, using her tail like a bladed whip, if you've ever seen Scorpion from Mortal Kombat, you know what this looks like, and snags the dragon. "Please! Let me go! I don't know where he is!" the dragon says, really scared out of his mind now. "I think you will tell me, and now!" She says as she draws the dragon's face towards hers, and kisses him. Yes I know that sound's strange, but work with me here.
Suddenly, the dragon's eyes go almost blank as she lets him go. "Now, will you cooperate a bit with me?" she asks "Yes, mistress" the obviously hypnotized dragon tells the succubus. "Excellent, now where is the Purple Dragon?" she asks the enslaved dragon. "He's on the other side of the building, most likely in his chambers." The mesmerized dragon says, unaware of what he's saying. "Thank you." She says as she notices the dragon's element. "Hmm… Earth Elemental. I could use you. After I leave, go to Twilight Falls. There is a secret cave near the top of it. Enter the cave and when you see an Elemental Star on the cavern floor, do not stop any form of containment emerging from the Earth Point. Do you understand?" she asks. "Yes, mistress" the mesmerized Earth Dragon says as he leaves. "Excellent. Not exactly in the plan, but Lord Malefor will be pleased none the less." She says as she leaves.
Okay, this is going in a strange direction, isn't it? Yes, Spyro and Cynder agreed to have a masquerade themed wedding. And yes, Enchanting Ace can lure a dragon into her power by kissing them. Actually, it's a reference to something, and if anybody can figure it out, I will be extremely surprised considering I don't think anybody will be able to figure it out! Anyways, to see if Enchanting Ace will complete her mission, tune in next chapter. Same Time, Same Channel!
