A:N: Sorry to everyone folks, forgot he woke up in the past when he was fighting the Griffin. Well Dustin will now stay there, I may send Cynder and Spyro back later. Also I still have one new OC to introduce.

Cynder stood there. For a few more seconds letting it all soak in. They were in the same room, the structuring of it was the same. Any cracks were gone there was now a roof, the outer walls that made the dome were now all intact, the panels that served as switches were in perfect condition. The candles flickered giving everything an intimate feel. It was dark and gothic, no fairytale lovers embrace.

This room was expertly done, perfect to a detail, viewed in a multitude of ways. Blood red material flowed down in the outer part of the dome. Pillars sprouted from a ground that could not be seen through unruly mist.

She stepped towards the curtain of water that served as a door. She heard Spyro turn around and jump up to the outer tier of the room. There were two drinking fountains near the curtain of water, the panels that Dustin had activated were turned on here. Sand flowed down from a reserve somewhere in the roof, it glowed, that's what amazed most, the sand glowed. The room was beautiful, but that sand just caught her attention like money does a business man.

"There is a door over here Cynder, it should be big enough for us to get out." Spyro said. "I don't think were getting through that door there."

Cynder looked at the curtain of water, she knew that it was not wide enough for either her or Spyro to get out of completely. She looked back towards the centre where Dustin now was.

"Where are we?" Cynder asked, she was sure that her earlier assumption that it was simply the past and not actually a different place was correct, she still needed to be sure.

"We are on the island of time, as I have told you already. These rooms allow people to travel through time. I am not sure how they work completely but they take me back to the time I need to be in. I am not sure if they could be used to go to different time's, or if they just stay on set time's in specific time-lines." Dustin said.

"So the only difference is the time, not the place?" Spyro inquired.

"Yes." Dustin said absent mindedly.

"SPYRO? CYNDER?" a voice called out. All three went on guard and looked for the voice. Spyro visibly relaxed and smiled, a second later Cynder realised why, she saw the annoying little Sparx. Even though the foster brother of Spyro had grown on her. She still fantasied what roasted dragonfly would taste like at times.

"Sparx." Spyro said. With Sparx flying down from the roof, he had chosen well for his hiding spot. The candles that glowed matched with his aura of light, mixed with his small size it made it easy for him to hide unnoticed there. "What were you doing hiding up there? And how did you get here in the first place?"

"Well to answer your first question, Mr. Purple. I was chased in here by some creatures that looked like apes... these ones seemed smarter though, and I don't really know where here is. I was flying along then all of a sudden I was being chased by those... things." Sparx said. All rather comically.

"What no sudden change of scenery, just happened that smoothly?" Cynder asked. She knew that it was probably I good thing on Sparx's behalf that that was exactly what had happened. But she knew that if that had happened, then it could have happened like that with others, and the less that had come through was probably better. "Do you think it will be able to come into this time? Through the portal I mean."

Spyro looked at her, worry was etched on his face, he was thinking the same thing as Cynder even if the Dahaka alone couldn't get into the room they just had. The dome wouldn't hold Cynder(1) for long and with the ability to chose between the form of dragon and Dahaka. It made one enemy that was made a force that was not to be reckoned with lightly.

"It may be able to, the Dahaka has never tried to come through the portal before, maybe with it's transformation, it may try, but I am not sure how it would react. It is a guardian of the timeline. Each timeline has it's own Dahaka, as such, it probably will not be able to stray from it's own timeline." Dustin said, "but I do not know for sure... and with you joined to it, the timeline for it may change."

"Just hold on a sec, what are we talking about." Sparx said, waving his arms and a look of comical confusion on his face.

"We weren't the only ones to come through the to this time Sparx, Malefor managed to get through, and so did a version of Cynder when she was being controlled by him." Spyro said calmly, coldly.

"WOHHHHH we killed Malefor he's back!" Sparx screamed, Dustin cringed at the loudness of the voice, Cynder couldn't blame him. The hysteric high pitched Sparx was rather annoying and hey, who would expect such volume from a dragonfly.

"Well bad news he's dead again." Cynder said matter-of-factly.

"Okay... NOW I'M REALLY BLOODY *********(please by all means put your own desirable choice of words in here.)************ CONFUSED" Sparx screamed this time Dustin actually covered his ears, Cynder had used fear to many times to back down from any type of noise know. All noise was the same once broken down, some of it could be measured in waves of frequency that made it's pitch or you couldn't it was that simple.

"Well now Sparx. I'm insulted." Cynder said. A small smile twisting her mouth. "We said Malefor dies I'm still out there."

Even Sparx wasn't bereft of enough common sense to think that it would be an easy battle. Although they could win if it was truly only her Cynder entertained herself in a rather dark thought of ripping apart the creature that was trapped, maybe thousands of years ahead of them, in the dome of water earth and metal.

"Also to add to that I have merged with this worlds greatest foes, which also wants to kill us." Cynder added to her story she knew the small Sparx would be rather... well to be honest completely mind fucked by how she phrased the events that had happened that day. Spyro, to Cynder's delight did not intervene, but actually had a spark of mischief in his eye.

"So a previously mind controlled you is out there trying to kill us?" Sparx said.

"When did you get smart?" Cynder asked sarcastically, Sparx having had ruined her entertainment.

"Nearly, Cynder(1) amalgamated with the same thing that killed Malefor." Spyro said half-heartedly knowing to that there fun was now over. "And if it can kill Malefor as easy as it did, I don't want to think how much of a chance we would stand against it."

Sparx promptly fainted, Cynder felt a small twang of sympathy for the small glowing dragonfly. Usually dragonfly's led simple lives, Sparx on the other hand had all out went for an adventure of a lifetime with Spyro.

Spyro and Cynder looked at each other than at Dustin. Cynder jumped and crouched baring all her teeth and growled at the same time. She heard Spyro do the same thing. Something had managed to sneak up behind them and was currently holding a bow and arrow pointed at their general direction.

Dustin looked at them for a split second then turned to face the offender. He quickly disarmed them. Then he did something none of them expected he stepped back from the intruder and cried.

"Forgive me!" is all he said.

Okay so not to subtle ending, I kinda did not plan this ending to the chapter but it just popped up in my mind at the last second. Sorry to anyone who may actually read this for the lateness of the update but without reviews I just don't get motivated to write.

So who wants to have a stab at who this mysterious person is? I'll give you a hint: even I don't know. :D

oh and no-one messaged or reviewed for the Beta request so once more any one wants to have a go for me message me and I will talk.
