"WAIT!" two voice's shouted, causing Cynder and Flarena turned around, and saw Flame and Ember come into view.
"Where do you think you two are going?" Ember asked, worry in her blue eyes.
"To find a dragon called Tom. It's the same dragon that attacked me, Flarena, Carrol, and Spyro." Cynder said turning around.
"You two? Alone?!" Flame said worried, concern and shock in his red eyes.
"Shouldn't you take a Council Member with you?" Ember asked, walking closer to them.
"I am a Council Member." Flarena said, a slight snarl on her lips...she still didn't take to well to Ember.
"No, not like that. I mean an adult Council member, Like Terrador, Volteer, Cyril. Heck, maybe even the Chronicler!" Ember said, panicked about them being on their own.
"Ember, Flame, listen, me and Flarena know what this dragon is like. He'll do anything to win, and we know how he attacks. He's cheap, will use any form to win, and he can probably transform into Malefor. He's a follower of Malefor so we don't want anyone else going with us. Two dragon's death is better than several, we don't want more death's than necessary." Cynder said, her emerald green eyes showing determination.
"But-!" Ember was cut off but Flame, who tapped her shoulder.
"Ember let them do this. All we can do is stay here, and pray to the Ancestor's that they will be alright." Flame said, his eyes showing understanding.
"Alright, but be careful." Ember said to the two dragonesses.
"We will. Oh, Flame, Ember." Flarena said getting their attention.
"Help nurse Spyro and Carrol back to health, please. We won't be around to do that, so take our place." Flarena said, worry for her two friends evident.
"Okay, but you better come back. Both of you!" Ember said, seriousness in her voice.
"So don't go getting yourself killed." Flame said, and Ember stepped on his foot, causing him to yelp in pain.
"Don't worry, we'll do our best to come back." Flarena said as her and Cynder left.
With Tom: The black dragon sighed to himself, bored out of his mind. Nothing interesting was happening, but that changed when, suddenly, a small group of grublin's appeared.
"Do you bring any interesting new's?" the black dragon, known as Tom asked the group.
"Yes, apparently two dragonesses are heading this way." a grublin said, his voice out of breath.
"Two dragonesses? Show me!" Tom said and the crystal in the grublin's head showed a scene of a black dragoness and red dragoness flying from the temple.
"Flarena and Cynder? Well, this is interesting. Stop them at all cost's, even if they are coming this way to join me, stop them. Give them a challenge." Tom said, and they nodded as they left.
"I highly doubt they're coming to join me, but if they are, then FINALLY! I will have the two best dragonesses by my side. Heck, I could even make them my mate's." Tom said with a wicked laugh.
"Of course, I'd make them my mates when I'm older. I'm still a kid after all." Tom said and laid back down.
Next day: Cynder and Flarena landed in the shade of a tree, and growled. Where were these fire balls coming from? They moved behind another tree, as the tree they were just behind caught on fire. They saw a red male dragon shooting fire balls at them, and they avoided another one shot at them.
"Cynder, you go around from behind, while I distract his attention. Okay?" Flarena said to Cynder.
"Okay, just don't get killed." Cynder said as she ran to the left, and Flarena toward the dragon.
The dragon didn't notice the diversion, so he shot fire balls at Flarena, unknown Cynder was behind him. That was until he was pushed down by Cynder, his fire breathing stopping, and Flarena with Cynder keeping him down.
"What is your problem?! Here we are passing by, and you attack us after we've done nothing to you!" Flarena said.
"You attacking my village is a problem." the dragon said looking at Cynder.
"Your dark power's nearly killed me and my wife." he said, growling menacingly.
Cynder backed up off of him, and Flarena stood protective in front of her. Flarena would not take someone hurting her friend, and she bared her fangs at the adult fire dragon before her.
"Cynders' changed, and by order of the Council I forbid you to attack me further." Flarena said, her red eyes showing protectiveness.
The dragon huffed at her, and then two other's came out. A adult female green dragon, and a smaller green and red dragon.
"Honey, what's going on?" the female said then saw Cynder and gasped.
"What is she doing here?" the female said and covered her child with her wings, causing Cynder looked down upset, and Flarena growled at them.
"SHE HAS CHANGED SO SHUT UP!" Flarena shouted at them.
"Spyro saved her from the darkness. She is no longer evil! Why can't you all understand that?!" Flarena said making the male sigh.
"As a demon, she destroyed our village, and nearly killed Nara." the male said, bringing his wife, Nara closer to him.
"She was being controlled by Malefor, understand that!" Flarena ordered, she was tired of all this judgement.
"I didn't mean to hurt any of you. I wasn't in my right mind. I'm sorry for the damage I've caused." Cynder said bowing.
The male and female both sighed as Nara uncovered her child. The small green dragon looked at Flarena and Cynder. She walked toward Cynder as Cynder looked at the baby girl, and the young dragoness rubbed up against Cynders' fore-leg's. Cynder stared in shock at the young dragoness and then looked at Flarena.
"Is that your hatchling?" Flarena asked, turning to the adult's.
"Yes, she's the only offspring we have, and her name is Ferena. If you really are of the council, and you have changed Cynder, I don't mind you being around her." the adult male said.
"Oh Cartor, calm down. I really don't think they'd hurt her. Ferena has a way of knowing who's good and who's bad. She'll cry around bad dragon's/dragonesses, and rub up against good dragon's/dragonesses." Nara said, a knowing smile on her face.
"Alright." Cartor, the adult said and laid down.
"She's so young and beautiful." Cynder said in awe at the baby girl.
"I agree there." Flarena said leaning her head down and Ferena rubbed against Flarenas' snout making Flarena giggle.
