Cynder and Sunburn tried to make their way back towards the same place where they entered the world. In a world with many floating islands looking the same, it was very difficult to find the way back home if they were ever going to get home.

After that hard argument with Spyro and Whirlwind, Cynder couldn't help it that she was now totally heartbroken that Spyro she knew was long gone. A new Spyro had been born and boyfriend with a dragon that was a hybrid like Sunburn and Flashwing. She had grown to love Spyro that the news of a new Spyro had crippled her heart hard like a like a boulder smashing down on a victim.

After passing the sixtieth island, Cynder and Sunburn touched down with its settlement.

"Where are we?" complained Sunburn.

"You are in the lands of Skylands," said a metaled voice.

Sunburn turned and had his wings wreathed in great flames, only to see that flaming knight Ignitor standing there. "What are you doing here?" asked Sunburn.

"This island is where I amuse myself," said the metal knight. "But the question is: what are you doing here, on this island I entertain myself?"

"We're trying to find our way out of here," said Sunburn.

"Out of Skylands? If you're talking about that one portal that is well hidden behind some bushes, it is right above us."

Ignitor pointed upwards, pointing at a small floating island moving slowly like a snail.

"That is the way out of these lands," said Ignitor. "Tally so, in other words: good-bye, old friends of Spyro. Speaking of whom, did you guys see him last night?"

"No, why? Why would we see him of what he has done?"

"He's supposed to meeting me here right now, taking care of a dozen sheep."

"Well, that is his problem and we have a kingdom as our problem now. You can go search for that numskull on your own."

"Hey, don't talk about Spyro like that," said Cynder.

"Whoa, Cynder. When did you start becoming protective of the ex-prince of the Dragon Realms?"

"Since we were kids," said Cynder.

"Oh, come one, Cynder, at first you hated him and now you completely change your mind about him. Seriously, how do you feel for him?"

"I know that kind of feeling," stated the metal knight. "That dragon friend of yours is in love with Spyro. She loves him. She loves him. And she loves him."

"Stop joking around, you metal knight!"

"He isn't joking around, Sunburn," stated Cynder. "He's right."

Sunburn's eyes popped into a shocking look. "What? You love him, Cynder? What is wrong with love these days now?"

"I'll tell you what's wrong, phoenix?" shouted a female dragon voice.

Whirlwind came floating down from the sky, with Stealth Elf jumping from her back.

"Love is a forbidden bond that a dragon should never take. It makes them vulnerable, weak as an ant. That is what's wrong with love, phoenix. And for Spyro, you can have him. I broke up with him last night. Whatever came across his mind now, he is just no suitable for me. He will never be suitable for any female dragon."

"Hey," grunted Cynder.

"Don't even try," growled Whirlwind.

"Don't tempt me," said Cynder.

Both female hostiles started to get ready for an all-out brawl, ready to tear, ready for ripping each other to shreds.

"As a matter of fact, where is Spyro right now?" asked Stealth Elf, interrupting the girls. "I want him to see this so that—"

"You find that troublesome dragon around these parts of these islands," said a screechy voice.

The five creatures turned and saw a cheetah with a quiver and a bow walking towards them.

"Hunter," said Sunburn and Cynder, recognizing the cheetah and both ran up to him.

"What do you mean his not here?" asked Cynder.

Hunter chuckled and answered firmly: "The true king is going home, back to the Dragon Realms."

"Wait, cheetah," said the green elf, "You're saying that…"

"King Spyro is going back to his homelands to change his uncle to take his place as the true King of the Dragon Realms," said Hunter. "And that means, the hatchling Spyro has returned."

"But how did he…?" said Whirlwind.

"Sometimes those who are lost in a dark world find themselves in the world of light like Spyro who was lost and found himself going in the right place if they only take a leap of faith first. And after that leap comes the difficult part of all: facing their greatest fears they've been running from."

Cynder smiled with great hope, Sunburn had a small amount of relief of his former friend has been found, Stealth Elf and Whirlwind both found themselves with regret, and Ignitor showed nothing.

"Now there is one question we should be asking ourselves: who is with Spyro, the new king of the Dragon Realms?" asked Hunter, with a grin.
