Cynder and Spyro akwardly walked together to the palace. Spyro carried Rose while Cynder carried Virtue. They were walking up the cobblestone path which felt longer than it looked. "I shouldn't have said anything, Spyro. I'm sorry."

Spyro sighed. "You don't have to apologize, Cynder. You told me what needed to be said. I don't really know what I should do. Ember was everything to me. She was nice, caring, beautiful..."

"She was your mate," said Cynder. "And you loved her." Spyro nodded and Cynder turned her head. "I won't try to get you to like me, Spyro. You already have so many things to handle, and I don't want to be a burden."

"You're not a burden, Cynder. You're my friend." They both reached the front door and waited while two gaurds opened them. Spyro allowed Cynder to go in first. They were in a gigantic throne room with a large decorative table in the center. Sitting on the golden throne with velvet cushions was the rainbow-colored queen. Spyro and Cynder both bowed while she got up and walked down the steps on two legs.

"Welcome to my palace!" she said. "Please have a seat!" Spyro and Cynder both sat at the dining table. Celia jumped up and landed in the main chair. She took a sip of her wine and set it down. "Well, you've been here for a month. How do you feel?"

"This place is great, Your Majesty. My daughters seem to love this place."

"I feel kind of weird here. I feel as if I'm playing a no blinking game with myself and losing," said Cynder.

"Not the first time I've heard that," said Celia.

"Huh?" asked Spyro.

"So, it's time I told you why you are here," said the queen.

"What do you mean?" asked Spyro.

"I am in need of assistance. You see, my realm is a place of Chaos and Madness. What do you think the opposite of that is?"

"Sanity?" asked Cynder.

"Traniquility?" Spyro suggested.

Celia shook her head. "Order. Every hundred millenia, my realm is under attack by the Realm of Order. They dispise anything that has to do with Chaos." She snapped her fingers. "Glomp!"

Glomp came in with a large tray of food.

"Dig in!" He set the food infront of the three and went back to the kitchen.

"Come on, try it!" said Celia. She took a bite of chicken. "Mmm."

Cynder poked at an octopus on her plate. "Hmm." She picked it up and scarfed it down. Her eyes bulged in amazement. "Wow! That's good!" She immediately started eating everything on her plate...

Spyro cleaned Ember's vomit off the floor with a hot towel. He smiled as she came out of his bathroom showinh her pearly white teeth. "Sorry about that, Spyro. I wasn't expecting that to happen."

He put down the towel and kissed her. "It's okay, Ember. It's kinda my fault."

"I feel kinda tired after that little bit of fun. I never expected you to be so big, Spyro." She retreated to Spyro's bed and got under the covers. "Thank you, Spyro."

Spyro leaned in to kiss her again. "I'll be back in a while. I'm going hunting."

"Hurry back." Ember watched Spyro fly out the window and smiled. "He's so loving. I can't believe how much my life has changed." She closed her eyes and took a nap...

Cynder was collapsed on the table with a bulging gut. "So... yummy..."

Spyro and Celia watched her with disbelief. "So... As I was saying... The Lord of Order is attempting to attack my realm once again. His armies grow stronger with each invasion. I have defeated him time and time again, but I fear he'll be too powerful to take on without assistance this time. So sent a distress signal to the world of Drac. I'm asking for your help."

Spyro got up. "You're asking me to help? Ahh, come on! I thought I was free from all this duty crap!"

Celia laughed. "I'm not like those others. They expected you to do everything while they kick back, but in this war, you will fight along side my army."

Spyro sighed in relief. "Okay. As long as I'm not the only one." He looked at his children, who were happilly sharing a ground up turkey. "Just how big of a threat is the Lord of Order?"

"He makes Malefor look like fodder."

"Wow. So will my girls be safe?"

"You may want to take them away from the village when the invasion begins. Also, you can go home once it's over. The portal is only one-way during distress, but it can be used to exit at peace time."

Cynder belched. "Someone... get me to... the bathroom. I need to shit... really bad."

Celia whistled and two dragons carried Cynder away. "Alright. As soon as she's done, I'll give you both a special gift."

Ember woke up a few hours later and yawned. She look out the window to see the sun slowly setting. "I guess Spyro isn't back yet." She threw the covers off and strecthed out. "Too bad. I was hoping for more... Hmm..." She curiously looked down in between her legs at her slightly wet pussy. She craned her neck down and began licking herself slowly. She couldn't hold back a soft groan from the pleasure. She was cut off when she heard a strange crash. "Huh? What was that?" She got up and looked around. The sound came again, making her shake. She was grateful for leaving the bed, because the third crash caused a chunk of the ceiling to fall and rush it. "Ahhh! Spyro, help!" She ran out from the room and down the hallway in fear.

Three hours passed. Spyro and Celia were playing poker while waiting for Cynder. They could hear her from the bathroom. "Ohhh! Oh, dear Ancestors, it burns! It's like lava! I think the toilet's clogged!"

"Two pairs," said Spyro.

"Full house."
