Chapter 2: Accepting the Past

Cynder was now fully awake; her body was poised and ready to fight anyone she saw. She noticed where she was after a couple of minutes looking around the room, dark grey and brown stoned walls with a small arched window to the left side of the room; she then took a deep breath and calmed her body down from her fighting stance.

"Cynder, are you ok?" I asked her in a smooth tone, "No I'm not ok!" she shouted "What the hell happened to me? And where am I?" "Allow me to explain Cynder." Ignitus said looking at Cynder with a happy smile on his old and kind hearted face.

"You've been asleep for the last few days in here after Spyro rescued you from the collapsing dimension of Convexity.

He then brought you here and put you in this room as he wanted to make sure you were ok after everything you have been through the last few weeks." "Also" Spyro then said swiftly speaking over Ignitus.

"I realised Cynder your not a monster or a terror of the skies like people say, you're a dragon / dragoness just like me. No matter what you've done; it doesn't matter now I forgive you; we all forgive you."

Cynder's face as I looked at it from across the room was deeply saddened and then her glistening emerald like eyes began to go watery as she started to cry.

"Spyro, Ignitus I'm so sorry for everything that I've done whilst I was corrupted. All the life's I ruined and took! I feel just sick and livid with myself for all my mistakes, but thanks for forgiving me I don't deserve it to be honest."

"Yes you do!" Spyro said in a loud and aggressive tone "Don't you dare speak like yourself like that again!"

I could see Spyro he wasn't mad at me for what I had done whilst under Malefor's influence, but for me not forgiving myself.

"Spyro, Ignitus your right what has happened to me was unfortunate and I hate what I have done, whilst I was corrupted but. I... I... can't keep living in the past anymore I want to move on and be good and fight on your side instead of the side of evil!"

"That's the attitude young dragon" Ignitus said, " I'm glad your back to normal and not corrupted by Malefor he is the monster of these realms and is the real terror of the skies!

We all then walked out of Cynder's room and met with the other guardians, Cyril the cold and glacial guardian of ice, Volteer the highly talkative, electrifying guardian of electricity and finally the hard headed and tough guardian of earth Terrador.

"Cynder is now ok and she has finally forgiven herself for what she had done whilst being under the influence of Malefor and his vial corruption" said Ignitus to his 3 comrades. Spyro then spoke to everyone, "I'm glad that you Cynder are free and safe and back where you belong."

"Thanks Spyro!" said Cynder in a cheerful tone. "I'm also glad that I'm alive to see you here and to see all of you again.

I hope in time you can all forgive me for not managing to stop Malefor's soul from escaping from the Convexity Portal." "Wait what?" Said Cynder in a frightful tone. Everyone's eyes now firmly focused on Spyro as he continued to speak.

"I saw his soul escape through the portal before we all went through it. I honestly was waiting for the right moment to tell you guys sorry!"

"Don't be sorry Spyro you've done nothing wrong! But are you sure young warrior; that it was in fact Malefor?" Terrador said in a stern deep voice, "Yes Terrador I'm sure!"

"Ignitus what does that mean for us all? And will I be corrupted again?" said Cynder crying with her emerald eyes. She had them closed with multiple tears drenching down her face like a waterfall.

"Cynder I failed you once by letting them take your Dragon egg and not saving all of the others from death. Nothing's going to happen to you this time I promise you that. Don't worry my dear ok?" "Ok! Ignitus thank you!"

"As for Malefor I'm not sure if he has returned but if he has we will stand together and fight this evil from our land and make sure never hurts anyone ever again!"

I could tell by my father figures body Language, what he just said he meant and believed every word he had told to us and I believed it to.

"Amazingly correct as usual Ignitus" Volteer said really quickly like he was in a race with himself to speak. That's Volteer for you though I thought to myself. "Young dragons I think we should all go to sleep and get some rest for tomorrow.

Cynder & Spyro I'll see you both in the morning I wish to teach you teach you both a new technique." Said Cyril speaking finally, "Ok!" both me and Cynder shouted firmly.

I then went to my room with Sparx; he went up to his nest in the top right hand corner of the ceiling of my room.

Before I went to sleep I had the strangest feeling something big and spectacular would possibly happen.

The only bit I was unsure of was the spectacular part going to be bad or good for us? I looked out my small window to the left of my bed I could see all the stars out and the celestial moons dominating the sky by their colossal physique. As quickly as I was at the window I was in my bed deep asleep and snoring soundly into the land of sweet dreams.

"Spyro..." I heard a faint voice in the distance as I travelled through the eternal and vast black landscape; there was no sky no moon or sun, and no ground just jet black as far as my eyes could see. "I need to warn you he has returned.

Evil is rising Spyro and only you can stop it.

"Wait, who are you and what do you mean?" I Sid in a jumpy voice. "You'll see in due time purple dragon, you'll see in due time." At that moment I awoke screaming at the top of my lungs. "What was that I thought?" "Only time will tell I guess!" I thought to myself.
