OK, first off, if there is ever some disclaimers I need to put, then of course, I don't own the Spyro series. And before you read this, this will involve my fan character named Crevasse, which is explained in my account profile. And no, I'm not planning to start any relationship parts for a while. Well, for this chapter, at least. I don't know... it depends on what comes to my mind.

The Holy Dragoness of the Dark-Chapter 4
Fatal bonds, fairing bonds

No one was ever right...
No one was ever wrong...
There's only a disturbance here,
that disrupts every flow.

I do not want to meddle with this.
I have it, but I don't want it.
...I just hope that soon, the destined one will come, as I say again...
Please... help me...

Morning arrived. The creatures inside the realm were doing their usual morning doings... well, most of them. There were as of now, no signs of any darkness in the realm. It's just that someone isn't felt from here...

Crevasse was unexpectedly out of his cave for a while. He was walking towards a peaceful body of water that seemed to be his main bathing location. He knew that place very well, for the water is not just any clean water. This body of water, called the Lake of Serenihope, was given by even more powerful and wisdomic creatures from the past. Many believe that the great ancestor dragons were the ones who made this lake as what it is now. And so, the Hound-Dragon slowly goes into the lake, with eyes closed. It's as if this was also his meditating place, for the water here is as aura-tic as ever.

"Let the Wind, Fire, Ice, Lightning, Ultima, Darkness, Light, and Dragona be in our light today..." he said, while standing still in the middle of the lake and his eyes were still shut. But then he could feel a certain element coming from the lake below, and this made him uneasy. He was waiting for something to happen. "...but this cannot happen without order of the realm. Come out, and I shall purify you." he speaks again.

Almost instantly after this, he felt something unusually solid hit his body. He was startled at this and quickly opened his eyes and jumped backwards. There emerged the body of a pink dragon and a black dragon. "Cynder!" was all Crevasse can say. The pink dragon slowly woke up, because apparently she collapsed a bit from being underwater the whole night. "It's morning already!" was all the pink dragon can say. When the Hound-Dragon got a clearer vision of the pink dragon, he started a conversation; "...what are you doing here?"
"Wha...wha, who's there?"
"...don't play blind on me, my niece. I was supposed to visit you later afternoon."
"...Uncle Crevasse?!... I can't believe it..."
"Don't you dare think that I died already! I may be old, but I'm a dragon that refuses to die out."
"But Uncle, it's been more than 4 years before we met!"
"...whatever, I'll have to cut to the chase. What happened to the black dragon?"
"Well... it was quite weird. She found this pearl under this lake, then she just sort of lost her soul-"
"WHAT?!"
"I mean, I don't know exactly! All I know is this pearl she's holding is a bit dangerous. I think it has some dark power in it."
"I need to talk to her. It's best that you back now if you've had enough of the water already."
"Well, my consciousness said that I help her out. I just did what I think was supposed to be."
"...but talk about curfew or whatnot. Just go now Ember!"
"Why? Can't I help out?"
"...ah... eh... it depends. I'm not certain about what you have inside you."
"That's the point! I've heard about your doings lately, uncle, and I thought they were just stories made up! But right now, I wanna see what you're really doing. Besides, I don't have a specific home. I'm not a nomad dragon, you know!"
"...fine, come. Bring that black dragon along as we walk. This pearl you speak of, what does it have..."
... and so they travelled to the lair of the Hound-Dragon. Ember didn't appreciate his Uncle much, nor did she hated him. It was just a matter of her not knowing her own elderly.

When they arrived at the lair, Cynder suddenly woke up and went out of Ember's hands. "With darkness in me, I shall live!" was her sudden words, then she flaps her wings to balance and land silently on the floor. "You're awake! What happened?" the pink dragon immeadietly asked. "Well... it's nothing that you can understand of..." the black dragon replied. "Are you sure about that. Let me take a look at what you're holding." Crevasse suddenly butted in. "Old man! What are you... what am I doing here in your room?!" the black dragon shouted in utter confusion and a bit of anger. "Easy, easy! Don't you forget that you may be dangering something all the time... whatever, give me that pearl." the hound-dragon immeadietly commanded. "Wha... this? No way! This pearl is mine! I found it!"
"Do you really think I'm gonna steal it?"
"I won't want to let it slip out of my hand!"
"I'm just gonna borrow it for a while!"
"From how you look, you're not gonna return it."
"Cynder! What are you saying? It's true that I'm a dragon, I love gems, I PWNZORS gems! But this is a matter that I cannot slip out of. What you are holding is NOT a pearl!"
"...whatever you say old man. I'm never giving it to you."
"...stubborn, Cynder. Just stubborn."
Then suddenly, the pearl slipped out of the black dragon's hand. She was too busy arguing that she didn't have time to pick it up immeadietly, and the hound-dragon grasped it quickly. "Give that back!" Cynder immeadietly shouted. "Wait, will you?!" the hound-dragon shoutingly replied, trying to outmatch Cynder's impatience. Then suddenly, a red beam came out of Cynder's wing, and hit the pearl that was still in Crevasse's hand. "Let it go!" Cynder still impatiently shouting. The red beam 'awakened' the pearl, and thus for Crevasse, it saved the trouble of seeing what was inside. "...thanks for that. Now I can see what the problem with this one is." Crevasse softly said. Cynder, seeing what just happened, finally remained quiet and approached Crevasse. "...old man, do you know what this is?" the black dragon asked. "...If I'm right, this is the Shin pearl, which has been seeking for you ever since it exited." the hound-dragon said, completely forgetting Cynder's stubborness. The hound-dragon continues to speak: "...within this pearl lies the other part of the power that is still inside you. What's contained here is mostly the power of control, the power of purity, and the power of waves. A small fraction inside is empty, wherein a few souls may enter that emptyness of the pearl. That small fraction is weak and is easily emptied by simple strengths." the dragon explains. "...then what was happening bad to her?" the pink dragon suddenly spoke. "...it may be, that the one trying to occupy Cynder has hid in that pearl." Crevasse explains. "If it wasn't for you, I don't know what I am right now. Thank you... uh..." Cynder says to the pink dragon. "... Ember. Call me Ember, the golden apple of the realm!" the pink dragon joked. "Whatever, Ember. That's a common joke nowadays." Cynder replied. "And I assume your name is Cynder?" the pink dragon asked. "If you were listening then you would know." the black dragon replied. "... what a way of speaking!" the pink dragon had to complain. "...sorry, I don't know what's gotten into me, but this isn't the way I'm supposed to be treating you." Cynder replied. Then suddenly a jolt of lightning hit the pearl, and the 2 small dragons were startled at what happened, as they looked immeadietly at what Crevasse was doing. "Cynder... keep this with you always." Crevasse says to Cynder. The pearl was now not shining as much. "Wha... what did you do to m-" Cynder says with an unfinished sentence, as she quickly remembered about the abnormality of the pearl. "...keep this with you always, and you will be more safe. You never know when this will come in handy, but it's power is rightfully yours." says the hound-dragon, as he hands over the pearl back to Cynder. Cynder, putting on a blank face, just took the pearl and quickly hid it within her pouch-scales. "...now go. I will have to do something on my own." Crevasse commands. Without any doubt, the 2 left the lair. It seemed that they were bored while there.

Now they were walking towards the direction away from the lair. "And... where do you live?" the black dragon asked. Apparently, they were having a conversation that they were introducing each other. "Honestly, I don't know if the place I live on has a name, but it's just right around the corner of the Guardian Homes." the pink dragon replied. "Ah, near where I usually stay."
"...you live there?"
"Not really. It's just that that's the place where I feel most secure. The others treat me there as if I was part of them."
"It's the universal act, Cynder. You're living, like all of us. Who wouldn't want to make you part?"
"...that's the problem."
"Huh? What is?"
"...the problem with defiants. Defiants of this universal act are most suspectibly the ones who are causing havoc on us."
"...maybe so... So, what's there in the place where you stay at?"
"...maybe nothing of interest to you, Ember. But if you have time, you should visit too. Sometimes, it's fun being with the 4 guardians and the purple one..."
"The purple one?"
"...you know, the brave one who put out the darkness 1 year ago."
"You mean Spy-... wait, Spyro, was it... was it?!"
"What's making you so amazed?"
"Weirdly enough, he's been entering my mind for a long time now! I thought that he would be gone by now!"
"Don't say that, Ember. We don't want to jinx the events."
"...right. I'll keep quiet now... but... but I can't help but be excited. I wanted to know who this Spyro is for a long time now!"
"Great! Gives you another reason to come and visit."
Then suddenly, Spyro landed in front of the 2. Spyro was in big hesitation, as if something bad was going on. "What's happening?!" Cynder immeadietly asked. "It's something you wouldn't want to get involved with... I recommend you run, now!" Spyro exclaimed to Cynder before flying back forward beyond the nearby valley. "This doesn't look good... Ember! Go, now!" Cynder said. "What? But we'll need to talk more!..." the pink dragon said, worried. "This is a case that I recommend you don't handle... I'll stay..." Cynder replied. "... OK then... take care of yourself, Cynder!" Ember replied, and then quickly ran off of the scene.

Cynder then flied beyond the same valley that Spyro disappeared into. "What are you doing here?! You'll just get killed!" Spyro immeadietly said, surprised and tensed with the coming of the black dragon. There was a golem in the field... a large golem that was just a simple formation of rocks. Apparently, this golem was possessed. "...I can help... I can help." Cynder softly said. "What?!" Spyro loudly said, as the field was getting noisier because of the huge rock. Without them noticing, the Golem slams it's hand onto the ground, and made a concentrated shockwave of the ground, concentrated on Cynder's feet. It's as if thhe golem suddenly changed it's priority to targetting Cynder. Cynder was thrown from the ground, towards the golem. Then the golem punched the black dragon, sending it back into the ground in front of the golem. "Cynder!" Spyro shouted. He charged quickly towards the golem, but the golem's structure was so hard that the horns of Spyro wasn't working. The golem was about to clutch Cynder in it's rocky fists. "NO! CYNDER!" Spyro continued to shout, recovering from the recoil of the charge.

Then suddenly, a large field of lightning engulfed the golem. Continous lightning strikes continued to disable the golem from doing anything, and eventually the golem was knocked out. "What happened?" Spyro said, panting. "Looks like I arrived at the perfect tense of the event." a voice said from behind. "Volteer! What are you doing out here?" Spyro just had to ask. "Oh, just thought I'd have a stroll in the internal parts of the universe that is considered our external structure and relax in a minty way the-..." Volteer says with an unfinished sentence, as Spyro suddenly input. "Never mind." was Spyro's input. Then a black soul came out of the golem. Spyro and Volteer just watched it, wondering what it was going to do. And then suddenly, it went into Cynder's body, who was battered and couldn't move, but Cynder's face and eyes were open and conscious. Cynder suddenly glowed a very red aura, and then a bit of screams of pain could be heard from her. "What's happening?! Cynder!" Spyro shouted in a very concern voice. Then as Spyro held her at her back, he felt blood flowing out of the black dragon's body. Then the 2 could hear the voice again. "Stop resisting now, Cynder. You're powerless without me. Compared, you are rightfully mine!" the voice is saying. Cynder struggled to speak. "...Sp...Spyro!... help... help... me!" Cynder struggles. Spyro held on tight to Cynder, looking for something to do to be able to get the soul out of her. "Go away... go away!" Spyro exclaimed. Then a silent yellow dragon was approaching the two. "Spyro... exhale the cold on her." Volteer said. "What? Why?" Spyro asked, while panicing. "Just execute it... I'll display to you." Volteer replied. Without any hesitation, Spyro made a few frozen fields on Cynder's body. Then Volteer readied a streak of lightning streaks on the spots where Spyro laid ice. Then as the lightning hit, Cynder was slowly regaining energy, and she was awakening with her own soul. "Argh! What is this?!" the voice said, and continued. "You may have been creative this time, but you're never going to eliminate me!" the black soul said, then escaped the field. Cynder suddenly stood up straight and feeling fully energized. "Are you alright?!" Spyro immeadietly asked. "...I'm sorry Spyro... I should've listened to you..." Cynder replied, quite embarassed and concerned. "There's nothing to apologize about, Cynder. If it wasn't for you, we couldn't strike another one at the black void soul." Spyro tried to comfort her. Then the yellow dragon butted in. "You know... that unexpectedly... took out our minds..." he tiringly said, then the 3 suddenly fell unconscious simolatenously there.

Yes, I am lame once again. I couldn't think of a better plot! I have to write better, next time. I apologize for the long wait, life didn't allow me to contribute here.
