Okay, I know it's been a long time sense the last update. Get off my back already.

Ember sat crying in the training room of the temple, practically hysterical over the fact that she almost died. She leaned against the dragon statue in the fetal position. "What's going on? What's happening in this crazy place?"
"Ember?" Ember looked up to see Nala hovering in front of her. "What's wrong, Ember? Are you okay?"
"Hi, Nala. I'm not okay. The ceiling of my bedroom collapsed and almost crushed me. I think someone wants me dead."
"Why would anyone want you dead?" Ember gave Nala a 'think about it, dumbass' look. "Good point. Listen, Ember, I don't know what's going on, but all I can tell you is to stay with Spyro no matter what. He'll protect you. You know he will."
"Hey, what's going on here?" Spyro had just come in with a dead boar in his claws. "Ember, what happened?"
"Ember thinks someone's trying to kill her," said Nala. "The ceiling collapsed and almost crushed her."
"What!" Spyro sat down with Ember and held her paw. "Are you alright, Ember? Are you hurt?"
The pink dragon couldn't help but smile at the fact that Spyro was concerned for her safety. "I'll be okay, Spyro. Really. But I'm worried someone's trying to harm me so they can harm you. Spyro, we should move into another room, but let's not tell anyone where. I just want us to have a random room where no one will think to search for us. This way we'll be safe for sure."
Spyro nodded and turned to Nala. "Nala, please leave us for now. We need to talk privately."
"Sure thing." Nala flew out the door, accidently knocking over a lamp on her way.
Spyro leaned in and kissed Ember on the lips. "Come with me, Ember. I know where we can go. It's an old part of the temple that no one ever goes to anymore." Ember got up with Spyro and followed him through the temple."
Meanwhile, Cynder wandered through Warfang with a bottle of booze in her paw. She was completely drunk off her ass. The depressed black dragon bumped into a shy-looking mole who was just standing at a corner. She turned to the mole and drunkenly stated, "Hey, asshole, watch where I'm going! What you think you own the streets? Move out of the way when someone's coming!" She continued to yell at people who stared at her. "What the fuck are looking at? There's nothng to see here! Mind your own fucking business!"
Spyro and Ember walked through the old part od the temple, covered in vines and moss from the years of neglect. Spyro lead Ember to a small door next to a collapsed tree trunk. "Ember, some of the rooms in here still have beds, but this is the only one that's still in good condition. We can live in here until we find out what's going on. I hope-" Spyro was interupted by having Ember place her lips to his. He returned the kiss and massaged her cheek in his paw.
Ember pulled away for breath and nuzzled his chest. "Spyro, do you remember what I said this morning?"
"About you not being ready?"
She nodded. "I think I am ready." She looked into his eyes. It wasn't lust in her eyes, it was a mixture of love and worry. "What happened with the ceiling, it made me realise that life is impossibly short, and you never know when it'll end. Spyro, I don't want to wait for something I may not be able to do later."
"Don't speak like that, Ember. It makes me worry."
"Spyro, please listen, I don't want to die without sharing my love with you. I want us to start a family, Spyro. I don't want to regret missing out on the most improtant part of life." She leaned in and licked his cheek. "Please, make me your mate."
Spyro looked into his love's eyes. She was right. No one knows when their time will come. He knew it wouldn't be right to deny her request. He brought his lips to hers and they made out furiously, inching towards the door to their new room.
