"Okay Amethyst, one more time." the two dragons started to circle each other as they searched for an opening. They have been on their journey for about two days and Amethyst asked Spyro if they could do a little sparring practice. She mostly wanted to do this so she could unlock her fire abilities and Spyro knew this and agreed, hoping to help her out. So far the score was 2:1 with Spyro in the lead. But Amethyst was determined to catch up. Spyro was the first to make a move and lunged. Amethyst quickly rolled to the side and avoided the attack and charged, her head colliding with his side.

He staggered back a bit and looked up just in time to see Amethyst pounce on him, pinning him to the floor. He kicked her of with his hind legs and rolled back onto his feet. He then jumped up and unleashed a wave of fire. Amethyst dodged the attack by jumping to the side and lunged, tackling Spyro out of the air. They rolled around for a while until Spyro pinned his sister to the floor. She struggled for a while until just about out of nowhere she unleashed a wave of…pink fire?

Spyro yelped as he was partially engulfed and fell on his back. Before he could recover Amethyst pounced on him. "Ha…" she exclaimed triumphantly. "I got you…" Spyro tried a few times to remove her but it was no use.

"Ok, Ok you got me, can I get up now?" the purple dragoness smiled sweetly and released her brother from her hold. She trotted away triumphantly like she always does when she wins a fight, her head held high and a big smile on her face. Spyro smiled as he got to his feet as his sister started blowing random tufts of flame in the air. "Congratulations Ame," she stopped and looked at him with the widest smile he ever saw her make. It caused him to inwardly smile to himself. "Well Amethyst you have finally learned to use fire, what are you going to do next?" he joked in an 'announcer' type voice.

"Cut it out Spy," she giggled. "Come on we gotta keep moving. You said there was a town not too far from here, right?"

"Yeah, just a about a mile or so," he replied. "Think you can make it?" She nodded. Spyro grabbed their bag and started off towards the new town, where hopefully they can start a life.

Meanwhile a large dragoness was taking a walk outside in a large, dense forest. Her bright green scales seem to sparkle whenever the sun hit them. She had three ivory horns lined around her head and curved towards her back. She breathed in the fresh morning air and sighed deeply. It was beautiful, for now. 'How long must this go on?' she pondered to herself. She continued her walk through the forest until she spotted a group of dragons, around the age of nine and ten were just hanging out at the Settlement gates. Something then caught her eye; she looked over and saw a flash of purple. 'Could it be?' She rushed deeper into the Settlement as she pondered this some more.

"Spyro, hurry up." Amethyst shouted to her brother. Spyro was now practically trudging, feeling extremely exhausted. "Come on Spy, we're almost there."

"Alright, alright, keep your tail on." The purple dragon went into a light jog as more of their destination became clear. He finally reached the purple dragoness who seemed to be growing impatient.

"Took you long enough," was all she said before she started trotting off again. He sighed heavily as he continued his trek. After about thirty minutes, they finally reached their destination and the large wooden gates opened. When they got inside they saw several huts that they figured served as houses and a larger hut that had creatures of all different shapes and sizes entering and exiting. It was actually a simple yet beautiful place. The whole village looked peaceful, as if no one had a care in the world.

A red dragon by the gate spotted them and pointed them out to his friends. They casually walked over to the purple duo, who was too busy admiring the Settlement. They snapped out of their observations as one of them cleared his throat. "Well, boys look what we have here," the red dragon said. He was a blood red color with bright red eyes that shone with arrogance. He had two black horns that jutted straight from his head and an underbelly the same color. His build was like Spyro's but the purple dragon's had a bit more muscle. "Two purple dragons have just entered in the Settlement."

Spyro felt something was wrong here but he shrugged it off as paranoia and smiled at the dragon. "Hi my name's Spyro and this is my sister Amethyst." He greeted as he gestured toward the purple dragoness who ducked her head in greeting. The red dragon however just snorted, earning questionable looks from the two dragons.

"Well boys I think we should give these guys a proper greeting." He suddenly lunged foraward and struck Spyro in the face, sending him to the ground. From there the others joined in and one slashed Amethyst across the face. She cried out in pain and retaliated with a blast of pink flames. Her assailants backed off a bit, considering that some were ice and earth dragons. They quickly continued their assault as the purple dragoness tried her best to fend them off.

Meanwhile, Spyro was dodging swipe after swipe from the red dragon. Each blow got faster and faster as time went on until his paws seemed to be a blur. The purple dragon couldn't escape the merciless onslaught and was struck repeatedly. Although the hits weren't hard enough to do extreme damage it still hurt like heck. Spyro was ten struck in the face by a red tail and slid a few feet before stop on his back.

Amethyst wasn't doing any better. Left, right and center the others kept on coming and they were pummeling her with paws, tails, claws, even wings. After a few minutes of this the group backed off and saw the crumpled and beaten dragoness on the floor. Smiling at their work, they turned to see Spyro getting back up and the red dragon charge straight into him, knocking him back on the floor. Figuring the dragoness couldn't fight anymore they charged at the purple dragon, while he was occupied.

Spyro quickly turned around, just in time to see one of the dragons jump on him, pinning him to the floor. That was when the others; Scorch included; started attacking him while he lays helpless to defend himself. When he finally passed out from the excruciating pain, they turned and left, not caring about what they did.

The two dragons laid there, caving in to the dark abyss of unconsciousness.

The light green dragoness ran towards the Settlement gates as fast as her legs could take her, worrying for the sake of the new dragons. She dodged and weaved through the trees of the forest, panting for breath with each thundering step. At last she reached the gates to see the two dragons on the floor, all beaten and unconscious. She acted fast and quickly picked them up and hurriedly carried them back to her cave. 'Hang in there young ones,' she thought. 'I'll take care of you.'
