James had done something to Jacy (evil) and made her run away, which left me, Perrin, and Kenji to defend Spyro, his family and the guardians. Somehow, I had unleashed my nature fury, which created a large oasis in the middle of this desert. Several red and green crystals appeared too, we quickly smashed them and felt our vitality return as the shards melted and bonded with our bodies, imparting their energy to us. I turned to the others to see a large winged thing approaching. It appeared to be a guivre, a close relative to the wyvern, but stronger as it has poison breath, they are extremly dull however, having the intelligence of a mouse. While fighting on the ground, I watched as it picked up a weakened pink dragoness and took off with her. I finished the group attacking me and took off after them.

I quickly closed on them, the guivre saw me and tried to evade me, but I was too fast for it, I climbed high into the air. It looked back and not seeing me, believed it had lost me and resumed normal flight. Then I dropped out of the sky and latched onto it's wings with my wing claws. It's wings were pinned to it's side and we plummeted. I tore at his legs until he released his captive, but not before he gave a sceam into her face, dousing her with it's toxix breath. "NO!" I yelled and bit it's throat and snapped it's neck. I then dove after the dragon.

I caught her just before we hit the ground. I laid her in the sand. She was coughing and her eyes had filmed over. She wouldn't last until we got her to Cynder, I had to do something here. I got several seeds out of my bag and grew them into several plants which I ground up into a powerful antidote. I hoped it would work on guivre breath. I mixed it with the runny nectar of another plant to make a potion for her.

I turned back and gasped, her scales had turned a shade of white, she was almost gone. I carefully poured the drink into her mouth and covered her mouth and nose until she swallowed. After a minute of nervous anticipation, her color returned to normal and her eyes cleared. When she looked at me, I saw her eyes and my heart skipped a beat. Being a human, I never thought I'd say this, but she was the most beatutiful dragon I'd ever seen. When I tried to talk, my mouth wouldn't cooperate. "Are-are you o-ok? That guivre got good you pretty. I mean, you pretty. I mean it got you good." I had an embarrased smile on my face.

The dragoness was trying not to laugh at my blunder and were it not for her pink scales, I would have sworn she was blushing. "I'm fine." She said Thank you for rescueing me, my names Selena."

"Ryan." I said I noticed Selena looking me over. "Is something wrong?"

"Your paws, they look just like James's" she said.

"Uhh, yeah." I said, looking down at my paws. "All us dragon-humans have them." (we've got to think of a better term than that.) I thought.

"You're a human too?!" She said increduously.

"Yep, there are five of us. Anyway, are you strong enough to fly?"

She got up shakily and jumped into the air, she wasn't strong enough though and fell to the ground. She landed on her feet and started to fall over before I caught her. Our faces were extremely close. We looked at each other, I could see every feature of every scale and noticed she was definitly blushing this time. So was I for that matter. We moved away to a more comforatable distance. "Maybe we should walk" I suggested. So we turned back to the oasis and headed back.

I had taked control of Jacy's body and led her far out into the desert. Once far away from the battle, I left her body and turned to face her. "You'll pay for that!" She screamed and launched black lightning at me. I dematerialized and the lightning wen't right through me. (She'll never learn.) I thought and tried a new move, I flew at her and loosed a stream of shadow flames from my mouth, they enveloped Jacy and when they cleared, she was temporaraly paralyzed, took advantage of this to hit her with a blast of light that sent her into the sand and knocked her out. I left her there and headed back to the battle.

Halfway there, I saw an oasis where the castle was. (dang, a lot can happen when your away.) I thought. I flew over the jungle and saw enemys being attacked by jungle creatures. Then I found a group that was approaching My family from behind. "Not a chance." I muttered as I swooped in and grabbed on of them and took off again, raising the alarm to the rest, who began firing shortbows at me, I dematerialized and let them hit my captive before I dropped him and launched a ball of light into the group. It exploded, killing the rest.

I landed back at the castle just as the rest of the forces were retreating, running into the desert in all directions. "Is everyone ok?" I asked.

"Not everyone." Terrador said, walking up to me. "Selena was carried off by some creature and your green friend took off after her." I tried to extend my mind to se if they were ok, but after a certain distance, All I got was huge amounts of oxytocin. (a love horomone) I simled "They're alright." I said.

Terrador gave me a funny look. "How do you know?"

"Let's just say I've picked up a few things since You guys vanished."

After a while Ryan and Selena walked into the room and Cynder ran over to them, Spyro not far behind. "Selena, Are you ok?" Cynder asked.

"Yeah, When Ryan hurt that thing, it poisoned me, but Ryan was able to make an antidote. Then he shared enough of his energy with me that I could get back." Cynder and Spyro looked relieved.

I reached out with my mind and found Jacy (good) and called her back. Then I turned to Spyro and the others. "Well, I think it's time for introductions." I generated a hovering ball of light that floated in front of each person as I introduced them. "For those who don't know, This is Spyro, Cynder, Their children: Fever, Selena and Zoulu, Icera, Cynders mother, Sei, her brother, Spyder, who is engaged to Fever, And the guardians Terrador and Cyril."

"And these are my friends, who are actually human, like me." This got surprised reactions from everyone but Selena. "This is Ryan. His Element is called "Nature" and lets him control plants, as you saw. This is my wife, Perrin." I gave her a quick kiss on the cheeck before moving on. "This is my cousin, Kenji. He can control fire and wind, as well as some special magic and a weapon called a keyblade, which you've seen." I felt Jacy's presence just out of sight. "And this is Jacy." I said as she flew into veiw and landed next to me.

Spyro leapt at her roaring and tried to take her head, but I blocked him with a wall of shadow. "Guys, relax! She's on our side now."

Spyro turned to me glaring. "How can you say that when she attacked us not five minutes ago?!"

"That was the Jacy from this time period, This is Jacy from your future." To prove that I wasn't crazy, I threw a rock into the air and stopped time. "In our time, we arrived too late to save you, so using dragon time we trveled to the past. Jacy's my sister and I trust her. All I can say for now is she was under the control of someone much stronger than Malefor, but we broke his hold on her." I let time reume and the rock fell to the stone floor with a clack.

Spyro's expression had changed to confusion. "But how can you use dragon time and that sheild thing?"

"Like I told Terrador, I've picked up a few things. I think I'll need training from Cynder now too. I'll explain everything in a couple of weeks when we get back to the temple."

"But it won't take but a few days to get back." Icera said.

"For you, yes. But we have to return to our own time. Speaking of which, is everyone ready to go?"

Everyone said yes exept Ryan. "Actually James, I'd like to stay here and get to know someone."

I thought for a minute about the risks of leaving him in the past. As long as he didn't come in contact with anyone who knew him or himself before the Ryan from this time travels to the past, it should be fine. I told him about the risks and what he would have to do to avoid them, then from their point of veiw, Jacy, Parrin, Kenji and myself vanished into thin air as I activated dragon time.
