Chapter 23 Aftermath

(Winter)

3 days had passed since Burn died. Its been a hard time on every one. But we all managed to pull threw it. But I took it harder then anyone. After all I loved him. And now he's gone.

For the past few days I walked around War-fang helping clean up the destruction from the war. We may have held at the gate but there was a few that got past. And a bit of damage was done.

All the Dragons that were under control either changed to a knew element or became human again and went back home. It took only 2 days for the human world to separate from ours.

Before it separated I did a count. We had more dragons then ever before. There were even a few humans who stayed here Which I didn't mind although others were a little uneasy about it.

You'd be to if you were around during the human conflict. It was one of the worst wars that we ever went threw. I am willing to bet some dragons still hold a grudge against humans for it.

Today was supposed to be a good they though but it wasn't. The night before our eggs started shaking so I knew they were coming. I called every one to our house the next day to wait for the hatching.

We all waited out side together for the first time in three days. Spyro and Cynder never left each others side and I can always see them kiss each others cheek here and there.

I was happy for them They finally were able to show the love that they feel for each other to one another. Corbin was there as well but he didn't go by Corbin any more. The whole day after Burn's funeral He went on a made killing spree in the woods.

A dragon was hurt and a few humans died but we managed to calm him down. But Corbin was now a darkness Dragon. He went bye his old name Shadow now but this time he was on our side.

Its funny every time I think about it. Corbin was the whole reason this started up again. I should be made at him but Im not because I knew Malefor had him under his control.

It was something I never wanted to risk seeing ever again. He and Cynder had a lot in common but never spoke of what they did. I also noticed A new dragon named Violet started staying Close to Shadow.

After a while he explained how She was a human but after a few days was captured by Malefor. He She fought off corruption only to be kept as a prisoner. She lost her sister to darkness and still hasn't found her.

It seemed she was way into Shadow but I never said anything about it. I was just glad we were together. Willow who was new part way threw stayed in War-fang now. It was good to see that.

He was the reason I was still alive. Burn had to pull the crystal out my neck leaving a bad gash but Willow had patched it up as soon as we got back to War-fang. I owed him for that.

The guardians had to nurse a few injuries for a few days. No one told Spyro but they were ambushed when they found me and Willow. Cyril was hurt the worst he was still resting recovering from his wounds.

Terrador did come thou. At least one of the guardians was well enough to come to see me for my children's birth. And that made me smile just to know that he did show up.

After a every one showed up we went inside and watched as the two eggs started cracking. I watched as the red egg slowly spread while the white egg was already covered in cracks.

It didn't take long before the white egg cracked open Showing a small little snow dragon. I looked at her with a smile as she let out a cute little sneeze. I laughed when she shook freezing.

"Do you know what your going to call her" Spyro's brother Sparx asked. "Her names is Frost." I said. I smiled and nuzzled her little cheek and I felt he lick my muzzled which made me giggle.

I looked at the red egg and watched as it came open and a red dragon with the same scale pattern as Burn came out. I just smiled. "He looks just like his father." Terrador said.

I nodded. "But his dad had a name for him already." I said. "His name is Spark." I said. I nuzzled him to. I brought the two little dragons close to me as they laid down smiling.

"They look very healthy Winter Congratulations on being a mother." Terrador said. "Thank you Terrador. I just wish burn was still alive to see this." I said. I could feel a tear come down my face.

Cynder came placing a paw on paw on my shoulder. "Im sure he would be very proud for you both Winter. I know he would be very pleased with there names and how they turned out." Cynder said.

I nodded. "Spyro, Cynder. The humans have a custom its were they name whom ever they wish to take care of there kids should something happen." I said. "Oh what is it Winter." Spyro asked.

"I want you both to be the god parents. You both are fitting for the part." I said. "We would be honored to Winter." Spyro said. I looked at Cynder and I could feel myself still crying.

I laid down beside my now sleeping little dragons smiling. Burn may be gone but I got him in his kids. It made me happy to know that they are here. I Looked at every one.

"Thank you all for coming. I think it best to let the little ones sleep." I said. But as I said it Frost got up and started or struggled walking to Spyro. He seemed to smile at that.

He bend his head down and she nuzzled his muzzle and I laughed. "Winter better be careful I think you have competition." I said. We all laughed at that and Spyro put Frost back in her bed by my side.

"Take care Winter we still need to go rebuild but I am happy that this war ended so they wouldn't have to grow up in a dangerous time." Spyro said. I just nodded.

-3rd person view-

Yes every one was still sad after the 3 days but they had to live on. Had things happened differently they all would be dead. Winter was left in her home sleeping with her new borns.

Spyro and Cynder looked at each other and kissed before walking into there homes. Flame and Ember were in the city center helping rebuild from the attack. Willow went back to the temple to try to learn more about this cities history.

Shadow was walking around with Violet showing her around and when she wasn't looking he blush every time. and as the sun started setting in the center of town next to the statue of the 8 little dragons from the human conflict stood 3 statues.

Each of them of one of the dead hero's In the Center stood Burn with his chest held high. And on each side of him stood storm with her eyes looking at the horizon and Crunch with his paw on a boulder.

They stood in the very center of town for every one to see and for every one to remember that the war came with a great cost one that was to high a price. But they are still remembered as the hero's of War-Fang.
