Only Time Will Tell

Alia and I flew to the Temple, talking about names for our child. We couldn't decide it. We landed, and once we greeted Spyro and Cynder, we got down to business.

"So, about yesterday…" I begin.

"Riapsed was a challenge like we thought, but when we teamed up, our combined strength was enough to completely overwhelm him. Still, there's something odd about him and his army." Spyro said, beginning to think.

"Well, while you were fighting him, I said I went to deal with the army. "I did, but I also wounded an ape warrior and interrogated him" I continued.

"Really? What did you learn?" Cynder asked.

"He first wouldn't budge, so I had to convince him."

Spyro chuckled, and Cynder banged him on his head, waiting for me to finish.

"Anyway, he said the name of the army was Galaheim of Alanorain, and I looked at a map of the Realms, and it doesn't exist. I demanded he tell me where that is and he said it was from another dimension. Before I could ask how to get there, he'd died from his wounds." I concluded with a scared look on my face.

Everyone looked as bad as I did. I saw Terrador standing nearby, listening. He walked over to our group.

"We must speak of this privately. I know of that dimension."

We went into a completely new room. It was large enough to fit many adult dragons. Colored green and lined with books, and ancient drawings of the guardians and other dragons. We sat down, and Terrador began.

"Yes, the city of Alanorain is found in another dimension. I've read a book in the past that predicted of other dimensions. It somehow knew this city's name. It also stated that these dimensions have dragons like us. Of course, these are just predictions. Still, I fear our new enemies want this dimension and the other, and they have millions of their forces here and there."

"So what do we do? Travel there? To another unknown dimension?" Alia spoke up."

"Meh, why not? New places to see and an adventure to save two worlds. Who wouldn't want that? How do we get there?" I say.

"The Galaheim Army has a way to get there and back. We need to find their base on this world to get to the other dimension. However, we cannot journey now, as enemies are much stronger there than here. Besides, there are young dragons on the way" Terrador says, eyeing us.

"Maybe our kids may be a help in a decade or so, and we could bring them along…."

"WHAT!" Alia and Cynder scream.

"Are you insane? We do not want to bring our kids to that place!" Alia nearly blew fire.

I decided to remain quiet. Despite Alia refusing, I knew we should bring our kids to the dimension, because it's a guarantee they will be very powerful, and we'll need all the help we can get.

"Well, let's train for next few years, and then we will find a way to the new dimension" Spyro decided.

"Agreed. I wish you the best of luck, young dragons." Terrador said, leaving the room.

"I guess we should get started huh?" I say.

"Good, because our lives depend on it" Cynder says as she and Spyro leave me and Alia alone.

"Well, have you decided what to name our kid?" I ask my mate.

"I like names that start with A, but I won't know what to name it."

"Hmmmm" I think.

One month later.

We all gathered around as the egg started to shake. Nobody could contain their excitement. We were at my cave, and everyone was here.

"Finally!" Spyro says. "We've waited a month, now he will finally be here!"

"Yes, now quiet!" Cynder said.

The egg began to crack, and finally a dragon popped out. He was red, with a yellowish underbelly. He had tiny claws, teeth, and wings. Alia picked him up, while I nearly lost it.

"Hell yeah! It's a boy! And he looks exactly like his mother! This is amazing!"

"Asyree, calm down! We don't need to scare him!" Alia tells me.

I calmed down and looked at my son. He opened his eyes and Alia gave him to me, and I held him close. The little dragon grabbed my nose, and seemed to love me instantly. I promised myself that I'd never leave my son, and that I'd protect him as my parents did me.

"Wow" I say. "He already likes us. I'll be the best father I can be, even though I have the job of saving two entire dimensions." I joked.

Everyone laughed, confident I'd keep my promise.

"So, what's his name then?" Alio asked.

"We thought about it the day after the city was invaded. We decided if it was a boy, Alian, or Ali. For a girl, it would've been Liania" Alia says.

"Great, well we can only wait for our egg to hatch." Cynder said, holding her own egg close.

"Well, we'll see you later-WHAT THE-"

Spyro's cuss was interrupted by his own egg beginning to hatch.

"Well that was convenient." I say, watching Cynder put down the egg as it continued to hatch. After a minute or so, it opened and out popped a purple dragon.

"Called it" Spyro muttered.

The dragon, who was male, looked exactly like Spyro in every way, excluding the horns. The only difference was because of his mother being Cynder, he had a darker scale tone than Spyro. The first thing he did was laugh, at what I don't know. Spyro picked his son up, not hiding his pure joy.

"Hey there little guy" he says in a baby voice, holding the yawning hatchling up. "My name's Spyro and-"

He looks at us, and we were smirking right back at him.

"You. Heard. Nothing" Spyro threatened us.

"We won't tell" Cynder reassures him while looking at her son.

"I might" I tease, smirking evilly.

"Don't you do it" Spyro warned.

"Sooooooo, what are you gonna name him?" Alia interrupted our standoff.

"I was thinking Cyrus, or Cy" Cynder decided.

"Perfect" Spyro agreed, nuzzling his mate.

"Well, this was certainly fun" Cyril spoke up "but we Guardians must be heading off." The arrogant ice dragon concluding as the Guardians bid us farewell.

"I must be leaving too. I got a hot date with another fire dragon." Alio said. "Congratulations to all of you" he said leaving the cave.

Spyro and Cynder were staying the night with us, not wanting to leave just yet.

…..

I was watching the moonlight alone while everyone was asleep. I couldn't believe it. We saved our friends again, and now I have a son named Ali. I sighed contently and stared at the moon again. I wasn't alone.

"What are you doing out here alone?" Alia says to me.

I turn around and see her holding our son, who was snoring quietly.

"I'm just glad things are okay. I know that we delayed mass destruction for years to come, despite our enemies who are slowly building up a planet of an army. Spyro and Cynder now have Cy with them. You can't see anything wrong."

Alia sat next to me and rested on my arm, like she did when we'd met only months ago.

"I can't wait to start raising Ali" she said.

"Neither can I, but for now, let's just enjoy our first night as parents."

"Of course."

And that's what we did.
