Author's note: This is my first time writing in first person perspective, so please bear with me. I still need a name for the Night Fury so all suggestions would be appreciated.

Spyro's POV

As Sparx, Cynder, and I flew to Warfang, I found myself thinking hard about that crater, It's size made it seem like a earth fury attack but the ground around it was scorched like a fire based attack. I was so deep in thought I Didn't notice Sparx standing on my snout shouting.

"Spyro! Earth to Spyro! Earth to Spyro! Come in!" He could really be annoying at times. But him sitting on my nose gave me an idea, I unexpectedly spin-dived scaring him. While he was complaining about how "not cool" it was Warfang came into view. Cynder and I climbed into the air hoping that we could get to the temple without gathering a crowd.

It almost worked

Soon enough a mob of cheetahs, moles, and dragon hatchlings stood outside the temple's gates. Thankfully, Volteer saw the commotion and let us in through his room. "We really need a back door in here." Volteer joked as we entered the meeting chamber. Cryil, Terrador, and even Hunter to my mild surprise were there. But what really surprised me was a light green dragoness in the room.

"Ah, Spyro, Cynder, Perfect timing. There's someone I'd like you two to meet." Terrador spoke in his deep voice as he gestured with his claw to the dragoness who decided to introduce herself.

"My name is Airel," (Author's note: Google translated "Mid air" to spanish for inspiration for her name, Neat little trick to name element based characters.) "And though I don't think I'm ready. I will be the guardian of the wind element." She explained. "Pleased to meet you even though we didn't come here to talk." Cynder explained what we found in detail while the guardians listened. "Can you show us the way Cynder? I believe we could understand it better if we were to see it in person." Cryil asked, I looked out a window at the horizon, It would be night time soon and we could get lost. But then I remembered that a air current follows a river from Warfang to the mountains, It was one of the reasons that we chose to make our home there. Apparently Cynder was thinking the same thing: "Not tonight but we'll meet you at the current near the past at dawn. Will that work?" "Yes, I know the current you're referring to, I'll get everyone there." Airel agreed, It seemed logical in my opinion that a wind dragon should know everything about air currents. Cynder and I took off from Volteer's deck again and made way to the river to catch a ride. Halfway home Cynder became lost in thought, Probably thinking about Airel and how she was the guardian of Cynder's only element that wasn't forced into her by Malefor. Even though she now uses them for good, those elements still haunted her. "Spyro, Can I try somthing?" Cynder asked me. And I was curious to say the least. "I don't see why not." I replied. I watched as Cynder"s claws glow green for a second showing that she was focusing her wind element. Suddenly the current got way stronger and we began to move at very high speeds. At first I was too surprised to enjoy it but when I leveled my wings out and felt that wind in my face it became very relaxing, and the fact that we were moving that fast made it fun at the same time.

"Like it?" Cynder giggled, "I can temporarily speed up the air currents with wind magic." She explained very proud of herself, And to be honest, I was very impressed. "This is incredible Cynder! now we can make it home in what? A fourth of the time?" Sparx praised her as we left the current and turned for home.

When we walked inside I went to the fireplace and lit it. Being a multi-elemental dragon DOES have it's perks. Cynder went over to the green crystals and replenished her magic. I walked over to the wicker bin Hunter had made as a gift and opened it. The smell of salmon filled my nostrils, Cynder's favorite. While I'd normally preferred trout, I was ready for a change tonight. After I had two salmon I decided to head outside and look at the constellations. When I found the dragon constellation I remembered when Terrador told me it appeared after the battle with Malefor. I wondered who it was supposed to be. I couldn't figure it out despite recognising the tail and wings until Cynder opened the door and the sound of a crackling fire hit my ears. "Ignitus!" I nearly shouted in realisation, Cynder ran over mistaking my actions. He was the closest thing either of us had for a father. I felt tears form in my eyes as I looked again. Why did he have to die! "Spyro, I-I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." Cynder spoke to me as tears formed in her eyes when she saw what I was looking at. Fatigue started to creep in as I retired to my bed, it was going to be a long day tomorrow. . .

Night Fury's POV

I awoke to another change in air pressure and after checking the egg, I walked out of the cave. There was only a little light left on the horizon as night set in. I took off and started scouting out sources of food. Several herds of what I believed to be deer gathered in a clearing near the river. Safety in numbers, and by moving into a clearing it became impassable for predators to sneak up on them. I'll give them credit, for a deer, that's smart. Except for the fact that they made it easier for me to attack from the air. But not now, I checked my echolocation and put a marker on a mental map in my head.

I moved on exploring the valley. Soon I found a village that I assumed to be the one Hunter came from, I decided to stay away, With the way that chief guy treated Cynder, a former, freed black dragon. I didn't want to put up with how he'd treat a black dragon that approached his village at night.

Out of being curious I climbed up towards the mountains and found a convenient air current. I used my echolocation, Ah what the heck I echoed, yeah a lot easier to say. ANYWAY I echoed and found something curious: on the side of one of the mountains was a cleared out bluff. Too fine to have happened naturally So I investigated. When I got within eyesight I discovered it was a home. And judging by construction style It was probably made to fit four adult dragons. It was tempting, but I refused to land. I started to quietly fly away when I heard someone call out "Ignitus." soon joined by a female voice saying "Spyro, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." They were probably still mourning over Ignitus's sacrifice. If only he knew- Wait, did the female voice say "Spyro"? I did a U-turn and did a flyby over the home. Just in time to see the purple dragons head inside. Man, I wish I had arms so I could hit myself in the head for being so thick. The rest of the night I searched for game and grabbed a deer on the way home. When I got back I put more wood on the fire and started eating. When I had my fill I went to lay down as it became morning. I set my head down and closed my eyes when I heard a cracking noise. It took me awhile but I learned that the egg was hatching. I watched as it shook and cracked until a tiny red claw broke through, followed by a tiny baby roar. The hatchling climbed out of it's egg, It was mostly red with a yellow underbelly. little yellow nubes were located about an inch apart and behind it's tiny orange eyes as well as down his spine and tail. If I didn't know better I would've said it was baby Spyro in the dragon equivalent of Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D's Goron tunic. It tried to climb out of the makeshift safety pen and get to the deer. I tore some meat off the bone and gave it to him, he ate it like he was watching me eat through the egg. I layed down again only to hear it start crying. I tried to ignore it but I finally gave in and picked him up out of the pen and set him down so I could lay down. he snuggled into me and fell asleep. Ah, the miracle of life. I swung my tail around so he couldn't get away and fell asleep.

I just hope he doesn't start calling me "Mommy"

Still need names for the hatching and Night fury, Please review and share this with you friends!
