so... seems to me that we've come a long ways so far... but it seems that I am not going to hit 39 chapters with this story so... that may be a slight let down for me... meh oh well. I enjoy writing this story so I'm not complaining... well read this story and leave a review.
(Spyro's POV)
Learning to master our inner darkness was a hard task and we were failing horribly so. We were doing terrible and decided to take a break from it. We began to walk through the place we were in. The surroundings were not all that great but the sky here was beautiful. It was this beauty that kept the both of us calm. I was enjoying this time with Cynder for the fact that this was the only peaceful places left of the world. My thoughts began to wonder. I walked over to a column I used Fire and Earth breath on it so as to melt it.
The column melted and I lost track of what I was doing till suddenly my mind came back to me with the sound of a familiar voice.
"Spyro? Spyro what are you doing with the amulet on the ground?" the voice asked.
I shook my head and saw Cynder standing in front of me looking down at the ground. I looked down and there was an amulet on the ground.
"Cynder..." I began, "This amulet is for you."
I smiled as I lifted it from the ground and saw the gem that I had used. It was a Heart Stone, one of the most treasured gems amongst dragons for what it entailed.
"S-s-spyro... I-I don't know what to say." Cynder stammered but kept her composure.
"Don't say anything." I said as I placed the amulet around her neck. It formed perfect to her neck perfectly then the chain vanished leaving only the Heart Stone. The Heart Stone was a bright bright red ruby that shined in any kind of light and the one who held it was linked to the one who gave it. The two would know where their mate was no matter what. If only to offer comfort to one or the other.
"I love it Spyro." Cynder said before nuzzling the side of my face, "You do know what this means right?"
I smiled, "It means... I don't remember."
"That's just like you, Spyro, to forget one of the important lores. It means that we are destined to be mates no matter what happens." Cynder said with a fanged smile.
"I knew that." I said smiling back.
"Of course you did." Cynder retorted as she walked past me.
I turned and began to follow her and at this moment there was nothing that could cause this very moment to become terrible. It was at that moment that I say Cynder become surrounded in an aura of light. I rushed after her and tackled her to the ground and we were both teleported off to where ever the light would take us.
Upon regaining our vision we looked around and saw that we were on a floating island above a sea of clouds and a vast expanse of blue sky stretching out beyond. The sun was high in the sky here and the sight was rather beautiful that is till the clouds vanished and revealed the world below. NOW It was extravagantly beautiful. At that instant I knew that I would enjoy living in this kind of place but the problem was finding a way to get to this place.
Cynder and I began walking around this island and wound up figuring out that it was more than just an island but vast land mass. We explored much of the place till we came to a cliff edge that overlooked something of a valley with a river flowing towards a lake in the middle of it. It was nearing twilight and both of us remembered what Link had said about Twilight.
We both laid down on the edge and looked out at the valley below. As we looked at the beauty of the place Cynder nuzzled up closer to me. I drapped a wing across her back. Eventually, though, we both fell asleep.

*Cynder's POV*
After we had fallen asleep I found myself surrounded by a strange fog and Spyro was no where to be found. I looked around and could see nothing but the fog. Then a voice spoke out to me.
"Cynder... Do you know what convexity is?" A strange female voice said.
I looked around and I was instantly ready to defend or to attack.
"No I don't now show yourself." I said.
"Peace, Cynder... Convexity is the manifestation of Light and Dark combined. The dark taint of the Dark Master was able to draw upon the essence of the manifested darkness and as such turn other beings to it's will. However with a pure manifestation of darkness there has to be a pure manifestation of Light as well. That manifestation were the ancestral dragons. Now a new evil has appeared and as such a manifestation of Light MUST appear... Through you and the other eleven shall that manifestation come forth." The voice said.
I sat back and shook my head.
"If that is what Convexity is then why did it corrupt both me and Spyro?" I asked the voice.
"It corrupted because it was under the influence of malice." The voice responded.
Everything remained silent for a long time then.
"Just trust in yourself, in your friends, and in your mate... Dear child." The voice said.
I could feel heat rising to my face and stood up with a swift retort.
"He's not my mate..." I looked to the ground, "At least ... not yet."
The voice laughed, "The way the two of you are around each other you would be classed as mates... I approve"
For some reason those words seemed to lift a weight and a veil from my very being. I blinked and opened my eyes again, when I did the fog was gone. Looking around I saw nothing out of the ordinary other than a few rocks here and there. Suddenly I felt Spyro walk up beside me and bring me closer to him.
"Everything will be alright." Spyro said, "I'm with you... and they are with us as well."
I looked behind us, what I saw I could not explain. Standing there in front of a group were Samus, Link, and Ridley. Then there were six moth like alien creatures. Lastly there was a metal dragoness towering amongst them all. Samus stepped forward.
"You two are capable of this. Don't lose hope and trust each other. In the final moment I put all my trust into a dear friend of mine, Adam Malkovich, he sacrificed himself but in the end he lived on." She said.
Link stepped forward and smiled.
"Have faith and have courage together we stand as a formidable force against the dark hearted. With Courage, Wisdom, and Power we are all able to stand against any foe regardless of their size, and power. I put my faith in my own Courage and face each day as if I won't live to see the next." Link said just before Ridley stepped forward.
"You two together are far stronger than any of us alone. I doubt that an Omega Pirate would fair well against the combined efforts of you two. As one you two fight on and live. As one shall we bring true peace to this planet."
At that Ridley, Samus, and Link's images faded leaving the six moth like aliens and the metal dragoness.
The six aliens stepped forward.
"As our time from our planet draws on we are satisfied by a powerful light. The two of you emit this light and as such we are calmed by it but we also grow stronger with it... May the Light forever be your guide through the world." THe six faded and the metal dragoness remained.
"Spirit is the one thing that all powers need. Without spirit there is nothing more than a shell. With spirit there is a great warrior who become formidable towards their foes. Let not your path be deterred by troubles but let your own spirit guide you to the truth." The metal dragoness said before fading as well.
I looked at Spyro and then everything faded as I awoke and was surrounded by a great light. The light faded away and when I looked at myself I was not enshrouded by an aura of darkness but instead what surrounded me was a nimbus of white light.
Spyro awoke and saw the nimbus of light.
"C-Cynder? What's going on?" He asked.
"Spyro... I think I figured it out. How to turn Inner Darkness to Light..." I stated with a hint of excitement in my voice.
Spyro looked hopeful and also joyous at the same time. I wanted to hug and kiss him at that moment but I knew that we had something else that needed to be done before hand. We had to bring an end to the corruption of our world before it was reduced to nothing but ruins.
