Chapter 3: Remember

Spyro lifted his wings ready to fly but was interrupted by Sparx.

"You're not going after her are you?" Sparx asked.

"Well I can't just let her leave. And besides, if we can get the Skurvywing to the Guardians they'll probably know what to do with it."

Spyro took off and flew after Cynder. She was flying a bit clumsily due her anger and shock. Spyro took this opportunity to gain up on her.

"Cynder! Stop!" Spyro called after her.

"Get lost!" she yelled back.

Cynder tried to speed up but the baby Skurvywing was slowing her down. Spyro knew that she wouldn't listen to reason, so he sped up to her and tried to grab the Skurvywing. Cynder saw Spyro from the corner of her eye and barrel rolled to the right. Spyro tried to reach for it again but she barrel rolled to the left. This sequence kept happening until the baby Skurvywing slipped out of Cynder's claws and started hurtling to the ground. Cynder dived immidately after it and Spyro followed. Cynder almost caught it but Spyro came in the way and grabbed it. The Skurvywing struggled to get out of Spyro's grasp but it failed. Spyro started to head back to the temple, but the Skurvywing blasted a fireball at him and he let go of it. Cynder caught it and flew quickly away from the swamp. When Spyro recovered he only caught a glimpse of her in the distance. He sighed and stayed hovering in the air while Sparx, who was watching the whole thing, went up to him.

"Wow, even the little monster hates you. You do make a lot of fans," he stated sarcastically.

"C'mon let's go. We've got to tell the others."

Tempest dived down into a mountain range after she escaped The Fellmuth. She stayed low until she found her old nesting place and landed. She sighed as she saw the ruins of it. The nesting place was a large cave which had many tunnels which led inside the mountains. She started to search frantically. She could only pick up the stench of the dead bodies of some carcasses. She followed a route to an opening at the back of the caves. She sighed and lay down.

Spyro came back feeling defeated and hurt. He landed clumsily and hurried inside to the training room. Luckily he found Ignitus in the training room.

"Why are you in such a hurry little one?" Ignitus asked.

"It's- It's Cynder," he replied trying to catch his breath.

"Why? What happened?"

"She ran away...with a... with a Skurvywing."

"A Skurvywing?"

"Yeah, the weird Dreadwing look-a-like with a red mane etc," Sparx commented.

"It was a rhetorical question."

"We don't know where she went," Spyro began "So we were hoping that you could see where she went with the Pool of Visions."

Ignitus sighed, and then said "Very well then. But if she doesn't want to come back then there is nothing we can do."

"Oh come on. If she wants to run off with a featherless chicken I say let her," Sparx said.

Ignitus and Spyro both glared at him.

"What?"

*****

Cynder landed in a nearby cave due to her getting to weary from flying. She looked down at the Skurvywing and couldn't help but smile.

"Hmm. I don't really know if it's a boy or a girl so I should give it a name," she thought out loud "Maybe....Ember?"

The Skurvywing snorted.

"You don't like it. Okay how about...flame? Smoke? Soot?"

The Skurvywing snorted to all of them.

"You threw a fireball at Spyro last time, so...okay what about....Fireball!"

The Skurvywing squealed at the name.

"You like that, huh? Okay Fireball it is."

Fireball sniffed the air for a moment then said "Momma."

Cynder blinked for a while when she thought she heard Fireball talk.

"Momma," Fireball repeated.

Cynder shook her heard and was sure now.

"I'm not your mother," she said even though she thought it was cute.

But Cynder knew what Fireball meant when she looked up to see a bigger, larger and more feriouscous Skurvywing. Her eyes widened as the Skurvywing came forward.

"What are you doing to my little one?" the Skurvywing asked.

"Nothing...I just- I just brought him here," she replied.

"You're not one of them are you?"

"Who are 'they'?"

"Those pirates who tried to capture me."

"Why in the world would I work with ape-" she started but cut off her sentence as she remembered that she had worked with apes.

"Either way I can't be sure if I can trust you. Especially with my son."

"Fireball's a he then?"

"Fireball? You've named him."

"Well I did have to act like his mother for the past two days. I have a right to name him. At least I don't leave him out in the cold where he could be killed," Cynder said a bit crossly.

"I did not leave him on purpose."

"Then what's your excuse?"

"I had to protect him from those... pirates."

"Is that so?"

"Yes. You see I was being chased by some Skurvywings that were already controlled by those demons. I remembered that my little one was still in these caves and had to rescue him. I went to grab him and hurriedly fly out of cave and away from the mountain range. I managed to gain a good distance away from the Skurvywings but the pirates started firing their cannons..." she trailed off.

"Then what happened?"

"Many cannonballs hit me and I was getting to weak to fly. I managed to drop off my Skurvywing at a nearby sort of palace."

"You mean the temple," Cynder corrected.

"Yes. I dropped him off in a bush so that they couldn't find him and hurried off to hide somewhere."

"Did you get captured then?"

"Yes, they caught up with me and tied me up like a dog on a leash. They tried to get me to make an alliance with them by torturing me and forcing me to fight when I was tired. Luckily those stupid chimps had the roof open in their arena and I managed to escape. For now at least."

"Oh wow. That's so sad."

"I'm not called Tempest for nothing. I come in storm the place and walk out."

Cynder giggled at her comment and said "I've been taken by those apes as well."

"Oh you have?"

"Yes. They took me when I was just an egg and controlled me to be their general without giving me right to chose."

"Hmm, are you the one called Cynder?"

"Yes..." Cynder said quietly.

Tempest laughed at the answer.

"What's so funny?" Cynder asked.

"They said that you were a huge monster who'd kill you the minute she found you," she replied and then laughed again.

"Well I was. But this dragon saved me."

"What happened?"

Cynder sighed. She didn't want to talk about her past then finally said "Well I stole the elemental powers of four guardian dragons and sealed it in a crystal. I then used the crystal to open a portal to the Convexity. Once in there I put the crystal in a portal which sealed the Dark Master. But then the legendary purple dragon came to challenge me to a fight. I lost the fight and returned to my normal form. I was told by the purple dragon that I was saved by him before the Convexity imploded."

Cynder sighed again when she thought about what Spyro did for her and how she treated him just a while ago.

"Hmm, what an interesting story. I guess we both have something in common."

"Yeah I guess."

Just then Spyro came flying into the cave with Sparx.

"Cynder," Spyro said "We've been worried sick about you. Where've you been?"

"I don't need to be monitored like a baby," she replied.

"Is he the one who saved you?" Tempest questioned.

"Yes," Cynder confirmed.

"Well then you should go back with him."

"But-"

"You are in his debt so you should at least listen to him."

"But what about Fireball?"

"We'll be safe. You should go."

Cynder sighed and gave in. She looked at Fireball for one last time and turned and walked to Spyro.

"Let's go," she said and took off with Spyro and Sparx following behind.

Tempest looked up at the two dragons. I have a feeling we will meet again young one she thought.
