You can turn painful situations around through laughter. If you can find humor in anything, even poverty, you can survive it.

Brian's POV
"Calm yourself young dragon, Calm your mind and clear it of fear and regret." Ignitus' voice spoke through my head. Calm? How am I supposed to be calm when the Dark Master has returned? IN THE MIDDLE of another war with the mercs might I add!
However I respect Ignitus and will trust in his judgment.
Once more I found myself in Ignitus' study. . . I take that back.
I was in some sort of a ruined storeroom filled with damaged books and scrolls floating about in a sea of dust. When I tried to explore further I walked into some sort of an energy wall preventing me from going further.
"Ignitus sir?" I called out, no reply. Might as well try the door out. Leaning onto the oakwood doors I pushed with all my strength. Slowly the doors opened with their hinges moving for the first time in who knows how long.
Only to find a wall on the other side. I echoed to see if I could find a way out, It was right in front of me. The wall was stronger than the others, that meant it was placed there later to seal this room off.
"Try to seal THIS off." I chuckled as I fired an energy blast.
The wall crumbled away to reveal Ignitus' study, with a very startled dragon looking at me.
"Ignites sir, you might want to have a look back here, A lot of old stuff behind those doors." I explained as I climbed over the rubble.
"So this is what the dark master hid from our knowledge all those hundreds of years ago," Ignitus spoke in awe as we searched the new areas, "I knew that when you "removed" most of the Dark Master's power you would be influenced by it Brian, but to reverse his deeds, this is a most intriguing change."
"So you're saying that because I outwitted Malefor out of his power, which is now inside me. I can now expose or even reverse everything he's done?" I asked, my mind began swarming with thoughts on how I could now heal the dragon realms from the darkness. Which in turn would weaken Malefor's remaining dark power into nonexistence. Easy victory, and I'd probably cure a plague or two in the process. Not bad all things considered.
"That appears to be the case young dragon, IF you can prevent Malefor from taking his power back from you." Ignites answered. I started laughing at the memory of various things happening to the dark master when he was still in my head.
"I doubt he'll try sir, even though I'd wish he would." I replied as Ignitus gave me a shocked expression.
"I wish that because last time I, ah, humiliated him by putting him in a baby diaper." I explained.
"YOU DID WHAT!?" Ignitus exploded in laughter to the point where the room around us began to shake.
"Young dragon, I will most certainly add that to yours, and his book, a fitting change in his dark, grim, and bloody tale of lust and darkness." Ignitus laughed as I felt myself going back to the real world.
I awoke smiling, proud of the fact that I raised the chronicler's spirits
Spyro's POV
"Alright Mate, you've had this coming for a long time Dix, and now you're gonna get it." Jim said full of confidence as he jumped one of Dixon's checker pieces taking it of the board proudly. Dixon just rolled his eyes as he pulled off a triple jump to the back of the board.
"Ah, not again" Jim mumbled as he kinged Dixon's piece.
The rangers were all doing different kinds of games including Poker and checkers in the city plaza. After word got around that it was a human that stopped the ape's attack, the people of warfang no longer saw them as the same kind of humans we were at war with. Spike and Forge were trying to tell jokes to each other but it really didn't work out since they only knew jokes that they learned together.
I myself was just enjoying a walk through the park when I saw a mole trying to push a large barrel with little success, I decided to help him out with an ice ramp. It was about then I started to smell smoke, and I heard the fire bell start ringing. I took flight in order to see where the fire was.
It was on the edge of town, thick black smoke rising from the blaze. The moles and cheetahs formed a fire brigade as Ice dragons made an ice wall around the fire to contain the flames from spreading. The rangers joined the brigade as I helped with my ice.
"Why isn't the water putting out the fire?" A cheetah shouted as the blaze still roared. "What is this place?" Dixon asked one of the moles.
"A wherehouse, why?" The mole asked back.
"What was IN the warehouse? Any chemicals? paints? anything like that?" Dixon continued.
"Yeah, we just received a shipment of lantern oil the other day, did that start the fire?" The mole asked worried.
"Doesn't matter now." Dixon replied as he turned around and addressed everyone fighting the fire.
"Everyone stop! we've got an oil fire on our hands, Water will only make it spread! What we need to do is create a box of ice around it and suffocate it. MOVE!" Dixon ordered and everyone did as they were told.
It took about an hour after the ice barrier was in place before the fire died. A mole took a pick out and started to pick through trying to get a better look at the damage. I tapped Dixon on the shoulder. "Is that a good idea?" I asked him pointing at the mole.
"Don't do that!" Dixon yelled, too late. the mole broke through and the fire flashed over no longer starved for air. I instantly sealed the hole with ice but, well, too late that little fresh air started the fire all over again.
