Getting close to half way i think. we'll see how it progresses :)

Learning

Cynder and Spyro both walked into the guardians chamber after leaving Flame and Winfil to go to there room. There was a look of great concern on both dragons faces as they walked in to find three of the guardians watching them intently. Both dragons sat on pedestals facing the large dragons.

" What was that out there." Terrador said furiously and the other guardians take a step back at his ferocity. Spyro hung his head with pain in his face.

" I'm sorry, it was my fault. I shouldn't have lost control like that-"

" No you shouldn't have. Do you know you nearly killed three dragons this evening. So you know the consequences for this." The green earth guardian spat. Spyro nodded and Cynder shook her head with surprise.

" He was only doing it to stop Ember and the others from killing me." All three of the guardians eyes grew wide.

" Kill you." Cyril asked and beckoned her to continue.

" Well they thought that I was really still evil." She chuckled a little at this. " I didn't fight back when they proceeded to attack me. They beat me until I was on my last line until Spyro came and interfered. If he hadn't done that then I wouldn't be here." She finished with flat stare to the three. The guardians all murmured to each other before Cyril stepped down and walked over to them.

" We believe you and don't hold it against you. But Spyro's dark form is to strong and we're just lucky you could get him out of it. " He glanced back to the others who nodded once. " We think it would be best if Spyro learns to control his dark form. Maybe even be able to use it-"

" Wow, wow. I couldn't control it there so why let him come out again." Spyro cut in.

" Ah yes you refer to your other side as him. Well his name is Oryps." Cyril said. " And yes, to control this other form we need him to come out again." The ice dragon finished. Spyro stared at Cyril dumbfounded it what he heard and then to the other guardians who looked down. Spyro looked to Cynder then back to Cyril.

" What if we can't control him. He would destroy everything-"

" That is why this should be down in the training grounds with Cynder close by. It seams she is the cure to turn you back I think. Seeing as you both are linked somehow it would prove logical for this to occur." Cyril had his knowledge cap on. Spyro gave a mild humph then turned and smiled at Cynder who returned a small giggle. Terrador seeing this turned to Volteer and whispered with a grin.

" Just like old times huh. Better not keep them apart." The green dragon sniggered. Volteer kept watching Cyril who was pacing between the two dragons.

" Master Cyril. The four young dragons you requested to be healed are in the hospital wing awake and ready for your questioning." A small medical mole said at the large doors. Cyril nodded and turned back to Terrador and Volteer.

" Perhaps we should be of then."

" Yes. We need to learn more on what occurred." Volteer agreed.

" Then its agreed. The three of us will go to the hospital wing and you two." He said looking at Spyro and Cynder. " You both had better get some sleep. Its late and I'm sure Cyril will want you both in top form for the beginning of your training tomorrow."

" Sure thing then." Spyro nodded and turned for the door. Cynder came up alongside them and they left with Spyro putting a wing over the dragoness and smiling softly.

" Ah, young love." Cyril chuckled.

Spyro and Cynder both walked to their rooms. Sparx wasn't in Warfang anymore. He had been ordered by Terrador to retrieve some of Spyro's close belongings in there home of the swamp. Spyro laid down on his bed with a smile on his face. First of all he new that he and Cynder finally new they loved each other and secondly he had kissed her. He let his mind take him back to that moment. He remembered her scent and the taste of her and shivered. The thought occurred to him that he hadn't drank anything so technically Cynder was still on his lips. He chuckled lightly and put a paw up to them.

" If only." He said to himself.

" If only what." Came a voice from the balcony. He spun round to see Cynder standing there. She had her body half turned in a very alluring fashion.

" Uh, N-nothing." Spyro stammered. Cynder giggled a little and walked slowly over to him, her scent filling his nose and making him wobble. Cynder gazed at the purple dragon and had very strong urges but was trying her hardest to suppress them. Cynder walked past Spyro letting her tail skiff his snout. Spyro shook his head with wide eyes but quickly composed himself and looked at Cynder who was looking at his shelf.

" Listen. I know why you're here." the purple dragon said. " You're here because you don't want to have bad dreams aren't you." Cynder turned and put her head on Spyro's shoulder.

" Oh well. You caught me." She said in mock defeat. Spyro pulled away from her and laid down on his bed. Cynder watched as he took one of his two pillows and put it to the side of his one for her. I little warmth was building up inside her and she was finding it increasingly difficult to control herself.

" What's mine is yours then." He said with a smile. Cynder blushed as she slowly pranced up to the purple dragon and laid down next to him. She felt him behind her and pushed a little closer snuggling with the purple dragon. Spyro felt his heart flutter as he was this close to the dragoness. Cynder took both Spyro's arms and put them around herself and Spyro draped one of his wings over her. Cynder, now feeling more confident, let her tail coil round Spyro's and she shuffled closer until there bodies were touching. The black dragoness felt the heat from Spyros body and moved her head and placed on his chest. Spyro lent down and softly kissed her on the cheek and put his head down to fall asleep.

Once Cynder was sure the purple dragon was asleep she nudged again closer. There bodies were already touching so her moving again made them touch everywhere. Cynder felt the muscle in Spyro's arms as they were around her cuddling the dragoness. She felt herself wanting to do other stuff but she bit her tongue. She was to young to try any of that stuff and she wondered if Spyro would go along. She settled with how far she had gotten and felt good to be in the arms of Spyro. She cooed happily and put her head down.

Spyro woke up in a room he was not familiar with. He still had sleep in his eyes so he couldn't see very well.

" Hello." He said but no answer. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes and finally getting a good look at the room. He could see there was books lining the wall and there was a large pedestal with a the liquid he could use to gaze into the future or past. What the made him realise where he was, was when he spotted the large hour glass in the room. He was in the chroniclers chamber

" Chronicler. Are, are you there." Asked Spyro timidly. He suddenly caught sight of the blue dragon behind the hour glass and he started for him. Chronicler I need-" But he was stopped in his tracks when he realised who he was speaking to. His eyes growing wide.

" Ig…ig….ig." He couldn't finish.

" Its good to see you Spyro." Ignitus smiled at the purple dragon.

" Ignitus!" Spyro laughed in both shock and happiness for the fire guardian was alive. " How are you here. Where's the chronicler-" Ignitus held up a hand to stop Spyro.

" There will be time for questions another time. But for now we have to focus on you and Oryps." As soon as Ignitus said the name, Spyro began to growl.

" I wish he wasn't a part of me." He spat. Ignitus closed his eyes deep in thought.

" Spyro you must understand. Oryps isn't a split personality or anything like another you. Oryps is the result of you not being able to control your powers. For example when you do learn to control this power you will be able to jump in and out of the form and Oryps will be nowhere." the blue dragon said.

" So your saying that if I learn to control the power. I could use it whenever I want without interruption from Oryps."

" Exactly." Ignitus agreed.

" But just one thing. I don't know how to get into the form let alone start to control it." Spyro said a little put out. Ignitus nodded and leant down. He mumbled something that Spyro didn't catch. Suddenly he was back in his room with Cynder screaming from her room. He sprang up and shot over to her room to meet a horrifying scene. Standing there in his loves room with his claws through her was the one he feared most. The one he felt anger for and couldn't control this anger.

" I think this might be enough punishment for you." the dragon said.

" MALEFOR!" Spyro screamed and his scales turned black and his world faded as Oryps took over him. " I will kill you." Came the warped voice of dark Spyro. He charged at the dragon and jumped into him clawing at his thought but he went straight through him and landed back in the chroniclers room. Oryps looked about not knowing where he was then Ignitus walked out. The feeling of gratefulness for Ignitus being alive flushed through the dragons body as his scales turned back to purple and Spyro took control again.

" Why cant I control it. No matter what I try he takes over." Spyro said in defeat.

" That is why you must link yourself to your normal form by using something you love dearly." Ignitus said and a book floated over to him and opened to show a picture of a dragoness.

" Cynder." He said blushing a little.

" She is the one I can detect that your heart will always do anything for. If you can learn to harness that will to do anything for her and retain that while you change. You will stay in full control, and once you do it for the first time. You wont have to do it again because it will kill the manifestation we call Oryps."

" So Oryps isn't a real dragon then Ignitus."

" No. He is the physical being of your powers. You haven't learnt to control them yet so they grew a consciousness of there own." Ignitus finished and sat on his haunches watching Spyro's reaction.

" So all I have to do is keep thinking of Cynder as I turn dark and I will stay fully aware and in control." Said Spyro summing up Ignitus's words. The chronicler nodded once. " Well that shouldn't be so hard, after all I have a good mind. Go on then Ignitus, do it again." Spyro said prancing around happy that he new how to control it. Ignitus nodded again and Spyro found the room around him dissolve and be replaced with scene that shocked him that Ignitus could conjure up such a thing. He was looking at Cynder who was in a cage. Blooded and bruised far beyond what had happened to her in the forest. He felt his gut wrench and closed his eyes thinking of nothing but Cynder.

" I will kill you and you're precious Cynder." came the voice of Malefor. Spyro tensed as he waited for the darkness to come. He had to learn to control it while he was with the chronicler. He waited. And waited but nothing was happening. His eyes snapped open to see Cynder being grabbed by the head with Malefor's talons. He looked at himself and he was still royal purple and not changing. He began to get angry with himself.

" So you're just going to stand there then. Fine" Malefor laughed. Spyro was fuming that his dark side wasn't showing itself. He saw Malefor's hand start to press Cynder's head and she began to scream. He new this wasn't real but it was just cruel to watch it.

" Ignitus!" He screamed for him to stop the event. He closed his eyes and the snapping of the fire and Cynder's screams cut off. His eyes flew open and he was standing in front of the chronicler again.

" Why!" He said stamping a paw into the ground. " Why didn't he come. Everything was the same as last time nearly. Cynder was in danger by Malefor but still no sign of him. Why." the purple dragon yelled again. Ignitus bent down and it was the first time Spyro noticed that he wasn't a young dragon but nearly an elderly one.

" Young Spyro. You still have much to learn. There was one incredible diffrence in the scene I made for you there than the last one-"

" Yeah a change of scenery. that's it." Spyro interrupted. Ignitus shook his head.

" Spyro there was one huge difference there that showed me that I can't teach you here at all."

" What."

" You knew." Was all Ignitus said. Spyro pondered over it for a moment before he realised what he meant.

" I knew it wasn't real and that you were here all the time."

" Yes." The chronicler said bobbing his head slowly.

" Then who will teach me-"

" Spyro that is something you must decide in Warfang with my fellow guardians. I cannot teach you like the past chronicler taught you you're elements. You have to harness this by experiencing extreme emotion to bring out the transformation before you can attempt to start to control it." He said with a small sound of defeat. " But that will have to wait until you untangle yourself." Ignitus sniggered as he looked down into a book. Spyro rounded on the book to see what he was laughing at and blushed vibrant red. He was looking at himself sleeping with Cynder, only. The black dragoness had put both her legs and arms around him. Spyro had his tail rapped around Cynder's and one of his wings was draped over Cynder. Spyro himself was slightly on top of Cynder as well which made him so embarrassed he had to look away.

" I'm sorry you had to see that." Spyro huffed, his voice full embarrassment. Ignitus barked a loud laugh.

" Spyro if I remember correctly I was caught in a lot worse positions than you and Cynder are in before. I only pray it doesn't happen to you."

" Wait what positions." Spyro asked but found the room disappear from around him and come into total darkness. He felt his body pitch and turn sideways before coming to a halt on solid ground with the addition of several other things touching him. He groggily opened his eyes and the light was pouring in causing his eyes to water. He realised that he was not really on top of Cynder but only she had her legs more under him than over giving the illusion.

" Mm." Cynder moaned as she began to awake. Her eyes slid open the tiniest of bits and she snapped them shut again. Spyro seen this and moved the wing draped over her body up until I blocked the sun to her face.

" Good morning my sleeping beauty." Spyro laughed a little at what words came first to his mind to call her. Cynder poked her head out from under the wing with a soft smile on her.

" And a very good morning to you honey." She said playing along with the act.

" Right we shouldn't call each other honey and sleeping beauty until we're married huh." Spyro said chuckling.

" Heh, yeah but until then. You're always going to be known as mine." She said kissing him. Spyro leant down and kissed her. There kiss was a long and passionate one before Cynder realised how she was holding Spyro and burned red as she recoiled her tail and arms and moving away slightly.

" Sorry." She mouthed.

" Its alright. If its any consolation, I kinda liked it." Spyro admitted but then felt shock as he remembered that Ignitus could watch him closely enough to hear every word.. Cynder giggled a little and both of them rose stretching out there stiffness from sleeping.

" Breakfast then." Cynder said and walked past him letting her body brush against his chest. Spyro looked up as if to look at something.

" Don't you dare be laughing in there Ignitus." He said as he hopped along to catch up to Cynder.

" Oh hopefully its fried sheep or something. I'm starving after yesterday." Cynder said keeping a high pace.

Flame sat on the rocks overlooking the city feeling depressed and sad. He couldn't explain himself in words but he new he had to somehow. He loved Ember but what she done to Cynder made him hurt deep down. He has started to think of Cynder in a sisterly fashion but Ember was still the one he wanted. He puffed out his chest and let the words come to his mouth.

( Coldplay-Fix you)

" When you try your best but you don't succeed."

He thought of trying to get Ember to notice him but to no avail.

" When you get what you want but not what you need."

He thought of being friends with Ember but not in a Romaic relationship.

" When you feel so tired but you can't sleep."

He remembered all the nights he sat up awake thinking about Ember and his life.

" Stuck in reverse. And the tears come streaming down you're face."

Two tears came down Flames face as he felt the pain and sadness.

" When you lose something you can't replace."

He seen his mother and father in his mind who were now gone.

" When you love someone but it goes to waste."

Ember floated into his mind as more tears came down his face.

" Stuck in reverse. Lights will guide you home. And ignite your bones, and I will try, to fix you.

And high up above or down bellow.

When you're to loved to let it go.

But if you never try you'll never know.

Just what your worth.

Lights will guide you home, and ignite you're bones, and I will try to fix you."

He let a smile creep onto his face before pushing his head back and bellowing the last part.

" Tears stream, down you're face. When you lose something you cannot replace. Tears stream, down you're face and Aaaah. Tears stream down your face, I promise you that I will learn from my mistakes. Tears stream down you're face and aaahhh.

Lights will guide you home, and ignite you're bones, and I will try to fix you.

Two last tears floated down to the ground as his two friends both now enemies and he had to choose one of them.
