" Right then guy's I'm off to bed then. Can't stand holding these eyelids open." Winfil said then let out a large yawn. Spyro and Cynder laid next to each other while Flame was measuring how long his tail blade was now.

" See you guy's tomorrow then." And with that the green dragon flew off.

" Do you guys want to hang about here much longer. I mean my red scales can't take the cold much longer." Flame moaned as he leaned against the fountain.

" I'm a dragoness and I'm fine. Mann up a little."

" You're able to take heat from Spyro because you're that close to him." Flame snorted.

" Hey, I'm not complaining that she's that close to me. Just putting that out there." Spyro chuckled a little. Cynder looked at him with a incredulous look on her and had him backtracking while sniggering. " I mean it is cold so I also need the heat as much as she does. Heh, isn't that right Cyn."

" Oh I don't know honey. Seeing as Flame is a fire dragon he might be warmer." Cynder chuckled lightly at Spyro's face when he turned serious. Cynder nudged a little closer to him and cooed happily. Spyro smiled to himself. They all gazed at the sky where the dragon constellation was. Flame started to grow tired as well when the moon nearly reached its peak.

" I'm going." The fire dragon mouthed noticing Cynder starting to nod off. Spyro turned his head carefully not to disturb Cynder and nodded his head with a smile.

" See you tomorrow." He mouthed back and walked off. Spyro watched him leave then looked down to Cynder. He smiled to himself.

" Cynder. Cyndy, wake up." The purple dragon said softly while rubbing her cheek. Cynder's eyes creaked open and she moaned a little. " Lets get you to bed then." He said scooping her up in his front paws as he took off into the black sky. Cynder dug her head into Spyro's chest as he flew over the city. There were no lights on in the houses bellow.

" Should I drop her of in her bedroom or take her to mine." Spyro said to himself quietly. As if to answer him Cynder grabbed one of his arms and smiled. " My bedroom then." Spyro whispered and landed at his balcony. Cynder who was groggy was set down onto her feet and she immediately walked over to the purple dragons bed and fell down. Spyro smiled to himself.

" Come to bed Spy." The black dragoness managed to blurt as sleep tried to overpower her. Spyro became the obedient puppy that he was around her and laid down next to her. Cynder then wrapped herself around him and pulled one of his wings over her and breathed deeply. Her Emerald green eyes were still visible as she began to move her head closer to the purple dragon.

" You know the moons are in full tonight. They look so perfect don't they." Cynder said leaning her on Spyro's while looking out the window.

" Meh. It isn't really that nice. Y'know why" Spyro chuckled. Cynder turned to him with a sceptical look and Spyro sniggered.

" Because I have you here in comparison." He said blushing then leaning closer to her.

" Y'know I was only faking a little so we could come here." She giggled a little and moved a leg round Spyro's waist. " I love you, so much and that will never change."

" As I you Cynder. And I always will." He stopped and kissed her. Cynder's kiss however became more of a lustful kiss rather than a normal one. She began to slide herself slowly under the purple dragon and continued to kiss him. She traced his spine all the way down to his waist. ' Will he do it. Will he go that far.' Cynder thought and a smile spread across her face under Spyro's lips. She carried on caressing herself slowly down under his body. Spyro new her game but didn't stop her. He was quite enjoying himself to say the least.

"Spyro…. I want you. I always have and, I'll never stop." Cynder said starting to pant heavily. Spyro looked at her deep in thought. He new he wanted to as well but they were both young . Heck they were both still just under the age line by at least eight cycles of the sun. He sighed and Cynder new what was coming.

" Cynder I.." Cynder put a paw on his mouth to stop him. A little hurt in her but she hid it well.

" I know. We're to young. doesn't matter as long as I get to stay in you're arms."

" Ho, you can stay in them for as long as you like."

" Good because long is a very long time." She giggled a little and slid out from underneath the purple dragon to his side but kept very close and kept several limbs and her tail around him. They both stared into each others eyes until they were both overcome with sleep and fell away.

" C'mon sleepy head." Cynder said softly and kissed the purple dragon on the cheek. Spyro opened his eyes to see Cynder gazing at him still laying down. " We have an early session with Cyril again today."

" Aw, do we really." Spyro moaned as he got up and went to the window.

" We need to try and get this nailed otherwise Cyril will have us out there every day."

" Heh, Well he can try."

" C'mon, Winfil and Flame are going to come today as well apparently. They told me so after yesterday's session."

" Oh. Uh ok then. Of we go then." The purple dragon said and kissed Cynder on the cheek again and they both went to the hall to get breakfast.

Star sat watching Ember and Ornis help Earn up off of his bed. He still had a broken limb that the crystals hadn't healed properly. The hospital wing was colder than usual.

" Damn leg. Should be better soon though." Earn moaned as he looked over his hind leg. Star came up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder.

" If there's anything you need. Just ask one of us."

" Yea man. Me and Ember would love to help and I'm sure Star thinks the same." Ornis chuckled. Earn looked at the three of them. He felt safe and happy looking at his friends. Star on the other hand was looking at Earn. For an earth dragon, he wasn't that big or moody. In-fact she thought he was quite emotional sometimes for a male.

" Guy's are you still not mad at that bitch!" Ember nearly yelled at the rest of them. Ornis jumping from a little freight and Star and Earn snorting and looking away.

" I hate to be the bringer of bad news Ember but, I think you might be wrong about her. I mean surly she would have made a move by now and she hasn't." Ornis stated

" So what happens when she does show she is evil and kills nearly everyone. Will you just say ' it was a mistake and you should have listened to me' or not."

" No Ember. Girl to girl. I think you're still jealous of Cynder." Star retorted. In reality all of the dragons were feeling a little bitter to the pink dragoness for getting them into this shape. And for to try and kill a dragoness that might not be evil like she says.

" Ornis. You're father, what would he say about you." Ember spat. Ornis cringed a little at the memories of his father and how he died. He then thought of how his father had taught him to treat every life with respect and be forgiving. ' he wouldn't want me to hurt her for something she couldn't control.' he thought.

" My father would be disgusted with my actions of I were to harm Cynder. After all if there's anything iv learned over the years, its that everyone deserves a second chance. Most of all Cynder." And with that Ornis stormed out the ward. Star and Earn watched with a small smile tugging at both dragons faces. Ember on the other hand was red with anger and fuming. She caught the other dragons smiling out the corner of her eye and growled.

" And I suppose you both are going the same way as that coward. Fine then, I'll deal with her myself if I have to." Ember yelled and flew out an open window. Earn and Star watched the window were she left.

" She's quite adamant about the dragoness isn't she." Star sighed.

" yeah you're correct there."

" What do you think…about the whole Cynder thing."

" I don't know." Earn moaned. " Fair enough she has done evil stuff but again, that was when she was under the dark masters control and now that she's free then surly there's nothing to worry about."

" Yeah I think kindoff the same. I don't agree with Ember when she says Cynder needs to die but what about Ornis. He lost his father to her and even though he said he wouldn't harm her. I'm not sure."

" I don't think we need to worry about him. He's a good guy-"

" But what if he does something." Star looked to the ground and Earn watched her. He inadvertently let his eyes wonder her body. She was a fairly slim but well built dragoness. Earn was now starting to develop an attraction to the yellow dragoness. He let his eyes travel down her body, down to her waist and then her tail. Without warning though, she came and hopped up onto the bed with him and dug her head into his neck.

" I'm sorry I didn't save you. I'm sorry I wasn't fast enough." Star sniffed as a little tear came down her cheek. Earn chuckled a little and slowly put his arm around her, all the while being a little nervous.

" Its ok. You did everything you could and look. I'm right here aren't I." Earn said softly. Star raised her head from his neck to look into his eyes. They were a little watery from her tears but she seen that Earn was staring at her lovingly. She put her head back down and cuddled him. Earn however was feeling that he was truly lucky at the moment. He had a beautiful dragoness on top of him cuddling into his neck and he had his arms around her.

" C'mon Spyro we need to do this." Cynder said as she mock punched the purple dragon on the shoulder.

" Yeah I know. I just feel like I'm never going to get it for a long time."

" You need to keep you're sights set high or you'll never get it done. Now, become dark." Cynder commanded. Spyro stepped back a little from Cynder. Flame and Winfil watched with intent as the purple dragon closed his eyes. Spyro made himself think of Cynder getting hurt and him not being able to help her. He felt the rage and sadness of the sights that were getting produced in his head. He felt like a cold cover was being slowly placed over him and tugging him. He new this was the beginning of the transformation and soon he felt all his scales start to change as dark energy coursed through him. The transformation was not going to be able to stop now so the purple dragon now focused his mind on Cynder so he could stay in control. He felt his eyes tingle under his eyelids and he new they were completely white now. But it was then he felt the weight of Oryps's power fall onto him. He tried desperately to stay standing and he started to roar.

' You're not going to win. Face it.' Came the voice of Oryps and another wave of power struck the strings of his will power and sent him tumbling. He felt darkness take over him as he slipped away and Oryps took control. Spyro hadn't moved an inch while the battle finished inside Spyro's head. The dark energy floating up from his body and he grinned.

" Spyro." Cynder said as a question to weather or not it was the purple dragon in control. A low dark chuckle came from Oryps as his eyes opened.

" Guess who guys. Elvis has left the building." Oryps laughed. Immediately the gaurds at all corners sprang into action and tried to grab the dark dragon. Oryps huffed and disappeared. He then re-appeared behind Cynder and he extended a long convexity dagger from his hand and grabbed her.

" WHAT!" Cynder screamed in surprise as Oryps grabbed her by the neck laughing.

" You're not going to stop me again. Say goodbye." He chuckled again and lifted the dagger and at the speed of lightening, it rushed for Cynder's heart.

" NO!" Everyone shouted at the same time as they watched in horror. But suddenly, Oryps's paw with the dagger in it stopped dead in its tracks.

" What's this." Oryps fumed at his arm which had stopped listening to him. Cynder seeing a resemblance to last times session turned to the dark dragon.

" You cant hurt me. Can you." Oryps growled again and lifted the dagger and slamming it towards her only for it to stop again in its tracks. This time however his body convulsed and he screamed dropping the dagger and grabbing his head.

" NO. I just got here." He yelled as his scales turned back to purple and his eyes became normal again and Oryps felt control slip away from him and Spyro became himself again. After a minute of silence the purple dragon sighed.

" No luck. Again." He hung his head in defeat.

" No it wasn't all bad. We discovered that you cant hurt me when Oryps is in control."

" What. He wont hurt you."

" Yeah. I found it weird as well." Cynder replied. Spyro looked at her realising that his darker half must have some reasoning within it towards her. He smiled to himself at this thought. He was quickly distracted though when he seen a white dragon walking in through the doors. Ornis. His face was covered in fear and sadness and he kept his eyes off of Spyro and Cynder. He walked slowly until he was ten meters away from the two and finally looked up.

" G-Guys. I'm." He stopped and looked to the ground again before looking back up straight at Cynder. " I'm sorry." He whispered as his voice lost him. Cynder sighed and walked up to him and put a paw on his shoulders. She new how hard this must be, after all. She had to face everyone after what she had done.

" We've all done things in our lives we regret." She said and to Spyro came up and smiled at him.

" You were told false things about her and you were only trying to protect the city and the dragons within it. I don't hold a grudge against you." The purple dragon made a face. " Well maybe just a little but that's to be expected." He chuckled lightly while Cynder scolded at him.

" You're not to blame. Ember is, she has been filling people minds with terrible things-"

" Thank you." Ornis said cutting her off. He brought his head up and his eyes were a little red and he was smiling softly. Cynder gave a smile back as did Spyro. Flame and Winfil came over and made peace with the wind dragon and they headed back to the middle of the grounds to do more training.

" So you're training to control you're dark form." Ornis asked Spyro.

" Bingo. I holds allot more power than I do when in this form….you'll see in a moment I think." Spyro chuckled darkly.

" You'll see." Flame said simply and he joined Winfil who was sitting a distance away.

" Should I join them over there Cynder."

" its up to you. I don't think it really matters anyway." As she said this Spyro started to enter his dark form. Ornis shuddered at the sight of the dragon that whipped the floor with him and the others with ease. He watched the purple dragons body shudder a little then come to a stop.

" This is getting annoying. I was trying to SLEEP!" Oryps shouted scaring the dragons. Cynder instantly jumped towards Oryps but he hit the ground sending a wave of wind knocking everyone back. He smiled but then stopped when his white eyes fell upon Ornis.

" You." He growled. His face warped into pure rage as he stared at him. " You will not survive this time." Oryps growled. The dark dragon flung his paws and wind swung around it powering up. He didn't smile when he clicked his fingers and disappeared. Suddenly he reappeared in front of the wind dragon and let loose a thundering ball of wind that sent him flying back the length of the grounds and started laughing.

" Beaten by your own element."

" No." Cynder shouted and planted herself in front of the dark dragon. " You will not hurt anyone, got that." She ordered.

" Ho and what makes you think you can tell me what to do sweet cheeks." Oryps scoffed. Cynder growled and moved closer to him.

" Because like it or not, I'm the one who can hurt you." She smiled then. " You've got so much power but oh wait, you cant use any of it on me." The black dragoness moved closer still until it was there snouts touching. " And I love you Spyro." She said and kissed the now astonished Oryps. As before, his black turned back to purple and his dark energy began to fade. Ornis however was only now getting up to his feet with the help of Flame.

" Took quite a hit there didn't ya." Said flame draping one of Ornis's arms around him to support him. Ornis chuckled a little before looking back at the now purple dragon. Spyro had sorrow in his eyes when he spotted him. He came straight to his side putting a hand under him to help him up as well.

" I'm so sorry. I didn't mean it.-" Spyro started.

" It's ok. I now you can't control him."

" If only I new he would react like that towards you." Spyro hung his head and Flame began to get a curious look on him.

" Wait why did he react like that. I mean does Oryps take preferences or what."

" No. not to my knowledge. The only thing I can think of my other half doing that is." The purple dragon stopped and snapped his head to Cynder. She stood looking at Spyro and the group of dragons now looking at her. " Its you. He likes you. that explains why he wont hurt you." Spyro chuckled. " Guess he really is my other half then."

" We'll get him soon enough. Just you wait." Cynder said reassuringly.

The mountains had a light dust of snow on them. The large flattened area with a cave to the middle of it however was buzzing. Over seventy wyvern were chatting amongst themselves and glancing to the city far below and in the distance. Inside, Verena was finalising plans with Corniss, the chief wyvern.

" My brothers are at full potential and await my order. What must I do you're highness." The large grey and red wyvern said. Verena looked at him as if she were annoyed making Corniss shrink back a little.

" My orders are simple." The yellow dragoness said while standing up and looking out the cave. " Send a quarter of you're army to the dragon city and find out its weak spots. Then after that report back to me."

" Yes you're highness."

" and one other thing. You better tell me that you're pears get on well with shadows." Verena smiled evilly. Corniss shivered at the mere mention of the shadows.

" The shadows are the dragons of neither the living or the dead aren't they." Corniss asked.

" And therefore can't die. You catch on quick for a wyvern." She flung a paw up and pointed out the cave. " Do not keep me waiting." She growled. Corniss bowed and left the cave quicker than usual and the yellow dragoness laid back down.

' Don't forget why you're doing this.' Came a voice. Verena merely nodded knowing that the voice was in her head. A single tear dropped from her eye as several wyvern took of from the ledge headed for Warfang
