Sorry for the long wait, I wanted to take some time off and write, hope you'll forgive me, any way here's chapter eight, this part of the story will tell of Ember's anger and furry on her follower Prowlus, while Cynder seeks off back to her Master's side and leaving Spyro with a note. Also Inferno and Sapphire will be in this chapter, but Onyx won't return not till chapter 10, but any way on with story.
Before I forget, my oc's Lightning, Venus, and Keeper will be featured in this chapter and so on; Lightning will be somewhat of a in and out character in this story, he will play a much larger role in the sequel. As for Venus, her role in this story will be to help Fire and Cynder win Light's and Spyro's heart, and Keeper, well he's just an annoying character in the story, that's all.
Also before I forget, somebody asked me "who's the main bad guy in this story", it is Ember and her gang, the other bad guys such as Darkness Steel and Shadow are "not" in the story, Shadow will be in the third sequal just so you know. As for Malefor and his group they are in the story, but there won't be any chapters on them, sorry.
All Spyro related characters belong to Activision and their company. The OCs characters such as Light, Scarlett, Lightning, Fire, Venus, and Keeper belong to me and only me.
Inferno and Sapphire belong to author and friend Neo Dragon X.
Next Chapter: Where's Cynder Gone To, Light.
Ember's Anger, Cynder's Goodbye
"What do you mean his castle just disappeared! Did it walk on two legs and say bye?" Ember said to Prowlus angrily.
"I was going to say yes." Prowlus said to her.
"Don't be a smartass, Prowlus! So far Flame is doing a better job then you and Hunter have done so far." Ember said to him.
"Flame doing a better job than me, that's a laugh." Prowlus said to her while laughing. As he laughed, Ember brought up her right paw and pointed her claws at him which started to grow a bright light within them. As Prowlus stopped laughing he saw Ember pointing her right paw and claws at him which were growing with a bright light, so Prowlus decided to ask her what she's doing.
"Why are you pointing your claws at me, Mistress Ember?" Prowlus asked her.
"So I can teach you the meaning of pain and the failure of not finding Light's castle!" Ember said to Prowlus angry. With that Ember shot a spell of lightning from her claws at Prowlus which was shocking and killing him, the shocking went on for about two minutes until Ember brought her right paw down and looked at Prowlus. For Prowlus, he did not move or talk instead was falling backwards and hit the floor with a loud thump. Ember smiled, until a sharp pain went through her body and caused her to bring her right paw to her chest and grab it lightly.
"Why in the hell would Light put side effects in his spells for, must not want evil beings like me to use them, what a clever dragon Light is, always making sure nobody use's them." As she was holding her chest with her right paw, the door to her office opened and in came was Flame, as he walked in he shut the door with his red tail, and turned his head forward to see that Prowlus was on the floor and not moving, and saw Ember holding her chest with her right paw. As he walked forward he stopped, and spoke to Ember.
"Something wrong Ember?" Ember looked up and saw Flame there with a small smile on his red muzzle.
"The lightning spell I used on Prowlus has a side effect." Ember said to Flame weakly. Flame turned his head and looked at Prowlus dead burned body.
"That explains why Prowlus is dead. Let me guess he made a smartass comment about me? Did it he."Flame asked Ember softly.
"He did, oh well one less cheetah to worry about any way. Now then, Flame did you capture an ape from Gaul like I order you to do?" Ember asked Flame weakly. Flame turned his head and looked back at Ember with a smile on his face.
"Oh I did, the dirty thing tried attacking me with his sword, but I beat him and brought him here, just like you asked me to do, Mistress Ember." Flame said to her while smiling.
"Good, did you question him?" Ember asked Flame weakly.
"Oh I did, but he was giving me short answers though, but I asked him what was Gual planning?" Flame said to her.
"What did he say?" Ember asked.
"He said that Gaul is bringing back the Dark Master when the eternal night happens this year and is planning on attacking the dragon temple soon." Flame said to her.
"Hmm, not good for us though." Ember said to herself.
"Why is that, Mistress Ember?" Flame asked.
"Well if Malefor returns, he might blow up our plans for killing Cynder and capturing Spyro, and something in my head tells me he'll put us as his servants, but I have no plans of working with him or Cynder, so that means were going to have a change in plans then." Ember said to herself. Ember brought her right paw down as the side effect was waved off.
"So what's the new plan then?" Flame asked her.
"I think its best we go into hiding for the time being, so Gaul doesn't know what were planning on him and Spyro and Cynder as well." Ember said to him.
"What about Hunter?" Flame asked.
"Tell him to go back to his village in Avalar and stay there for three years, oh before I forget tell him that Prowlus is dead, he'll probably enjoy hearing that." Ember said to Flame.
"Okay will do, what about the eternal night that Gaul is planning?" Flame asked her.
"We'll let Spyro and the guardians handily it for now, as for us we're going into hiding for the time being." Ember said to him.
"What about Light and his gang?" Flame asked Ember.
"Let them fight Gaul and the Dark Master, besides I'm pretty sure Malefor will want his revenge on Light any way. After all Light did defeat Malefor three times in the past, so I'm pretty sure that Malefor will defeat and kill Light this time." Ember said to him evilly.
"What makes you so sure that Light can't defeat him a fourth time? If Light defeated him three times in the past, I'm pretty sure he can do it a fourth and final time. Besides aren't Light and Malefor like archenemies or something?" Flame said to her in a normal tone of voice.
"No, Light will be defeated this time, and if Malefor can't do it then I'll do it for him by myself! Also Light and Malefor aren't archenemies." Ember said to Flame evilly.
"Then who's Light's archenemy then, Ember?" Flame asked.
"Shadow the darkness dragon; he's Light's archenemy and rival. Was also part of the group known as The Ten Elements, before he went and killed all eight of them?" Ember said to Flame.
"You said "eight" were killed by Shadow, so Shadow would be one of the Ten Elements, but who could be the last one be?" Flame said to Ember.
"The last one of the Ten Elements happens to be, Light the dragon. He and Shadow are the only two left of the group, and are the most strongest and smartness of the group. Now, can we stop talking about this and move!" Ember said angrily to Flame.
"Okay, you don't have to be a bitch and yell. What about the ape that I capture." Flame said to her.
"Don't ever call me a bitch again or I'll cut your dragonhood off in front of your eyes! How's that sound, Flame! As for the ape, leave him let the guards deal with him." Ember said angrily to him.
"Okay, I'll shut up and stop talking." Flame said to her in a fake sad voice.
"Good, now let's get going before the King of Warfang sends the guards after us." Ember said to Flame while getting off her chair and walking towards the door, while Flame looked at Prowlus's dead burn body.
"What about him?" Flame asked Ember while pointing a claw at Prowlus dead body. Ember looked over her back at Prowlus's body and then looked at Flame with a smile on her face.
"Leave him; let the guards deal with his body. Besides bringing Prowlus's body with us will be a waste of time and will draw attention to us from Warfang's guards, so it's best to leave his body be. Now let's get going, Hunter's waiting for us at the entrance, the sooner we leave, the better!" Ember said to Flame while opening the door. With that Flame walked towards the door and walked with Ember out the door way into the hallway, Flame then closed and locked the door shut, so nobody could get in. After, Flame turned towards Ember and walked down the dark hallways together to find Hunter and leave.
Cut to Cynder
While everybody in Light's castle was sleeping peaceful, Cynder was having a horrible nightmare and couldn't get out it. Sweat was everywhere on Cynder's body, and Cynder was moving around and saying words in her nightmare, "don't kill him" and "Leave him alone". When Spyro's tail touched her red stomach, she then woke up and was gasping for air, as she was calming down from her horrible nightmare, she turned her head left and saw Spyro was sleeping peaceful. This made her smile, so she reached out to him with her left paw and stroked Spyro's head like cat. As she stroked his purple head, Spyro signed and smiled in his sleep, he then whispered some words from his sleep.
"I love you, Cynder." Cynder smiled and had a tear run down her muzzle, so she whispered back as well.
"I love you to, Spyro." Spyro then smiled even wider in his sleep, he then curled up into ball and snored. Cynder then leaned down and kissed Spyro on the cheek for a minute, but brought up her muzzle and smiled a little. Cynder then got off bed the quietly and looked around Spyro's room for a desk. As she looked left, she found the desk and even had paper on it with a feather as the pen. So she then walked towards the desk quietly as she can. As she reached the desk, she sat on her hind legs with her tail wrapped around her, she brought her right paw down and grabbed the feather pen and started writing a letter for Spyro, telling him why she left. As she writing the letter, Cynder had tears running down her muzzle like water fall and couldn't stop crying either. You see the horrible nightmare that she had, was Spyro dying by the hands of The Dark Master, and she couldn't protect him from the dream. Also the dream that Cynder had, was telling her things and thoughts, when Cynder listen to "these" thoughts, she told herself if she went back to work under the Dark Master, she could protect Spyro from him, but there was one down side to her plan. Her evil herself could come back any time and retake her body again, but if it does happen.
"I'll deal with it!" Cynder said to herself angrily while tears ran down her muzzle. As Cynder finished writing the letter, she turned towards the bed and walked towards Spyro. As she reached him, Spyro was sleeping on his side and was snoring was a little, so she brought down her right paw and had put the letter under his pillow. She then brought her right paw back and cried more tears.
"I'm sorry Spyro, but I can't let the Dark Master kill you. You're the only lover I've had, and I'll protect you from Malefor the best way I can, so please wait and I'll be with you when this is all over." She whispered to him, with that Cynder walked quietly toward the door and opened the door with her right paw. As the door opened, Cynder looked left and right down the hallways making sure nobody was there, seeing that nobody was there, Cynder walked into the hallway and closed the door with her tail quietly, with the door closed Cynder turned left and walked down the hallway to get to the stairs that lead outside. After walking down the hallway, she reached the stairs and quickly ran down them. As she ran down them, she didn't know that Inferno was standing in the living room door way and was watching and looking at her questionable.
"Wonder where she's going at a time like this? Best stay still and watch what happens?" Inferno said to himself. Cynder had opened the big doors and whispered some words to herself.
"Don't worry Spyro, I promise I'll come back to your loving arms again." Cynder then walked out the big doors and shut them quietly. Inferno then understood what was going with Cynder, she was returning to the Dark Master to protect from harm.
"She most love Spyro very much in order to protect him, but going back to Malefor was the wrong idea for her. Malefor might even put more darkness into her mind and soul, and then she'll never come back to us, never. But other than that, she has some nice legs and a nice looking ass too. Spyro, you're one lucky son of a bitch. Oh, well my loss." Inferno said to himself while smiling. With that Inferno turned around and walked back to Sapphire and slept on the floor by her side.
Cut To Lightning the light dragon
Lightning was looking into the pool of visions with his eyes closed and was looking where Cynder had taken off to. As he looked into the pool of visions, a red dragoness walks toward him and sit beside him with a smile on her face.
"What is it you want, Venus?" Lightning asked her in a cold tone. Venus looked at him and smiled.
"Any luck where Cynder's going to, Lightning?" Venus asked Lightning nicely. Lightning then thought to himself.
"She really knows how to push my buttons, doesn't she?" Lightning then signed and told her.
"Cynder just left Light's castle for some reason and I don't know why." Lightning said to her coldly.
"That's odd of her to do that." Venus said to Lightning sadly. Lightning then looked at her and smiled a little bit.
"Oh, why's that?" Lightning asked her.
"Well if Cynder left Light's castle for some "odd" reason, in order for her to leave Spyro and the others, then she must've had one bad dream or the darkness in her soul must have caused it, but that's my opinion. What do you think, Lightning?" Venus said to him.
"Hmm, those are good questions, Venus. But whatever caused Cynder to leave is the real question." Lightning said to her in a normal tone of voice.
"Something tells me it was the dream that caused Cynder to leave." Venus said to herself while wrapping her red tail around her body.
"Why would you say that, Venus?" Lightning asked her.
"Because if the dream that Cynder was having, it must've been the death of someone very close to her." Venus said to Lightning softly.
"Spyro." Lightning said to himself.
"What about, Spyro?" Venus asked him softly.
"Spyro, my little brother is the only one who is very close to Cynder. So someone is sending Cynder images or dreams of Spyro's death. Somebody must really want Cynder to stay away from Spyro." Lightning said to himself. As Venus was about to speak, a cheetah walked in and had smile on his face.
"Oh, hi my lord, I've brought the food you order for me to get." Keeper said to Lightning nicely.
"That's good. Now, go put it away." Lightning said to him coldly.
"Me, make Venus do it, she does nothing around here!" Keeper yelled at Venus while pointing his furred claw at her.
"I said now, Keeper!" Lightning yelled at him coldly. With that Keeper turned around and walked out of the room while talking to himself.
"His always on her side, just because Venus family was killed by Gaul's ape army doesn't make her special. Once she leaves, it will be me and my lord only." With that Keeper walked down the hallways and went toward the kitchen to put the food away. Lightning then looked at Venus and spoke to her.
"You were about to say something to me, mind telling?" Venus looked at Lightning with her pink eyes and smiled at him.
"You don't think Ember and her gang would send those images of Spyro's death in Cynder's dream, do you?" she said to him softly. Lightning walked turned a small table that had small darts and grabbed one with his right paw while turning and facing Venus.
"No, Ember wouldn't do that." Lightning said to Venus while looking at the dart in his right paw.
"Why not, she's the one that wants Cynder dead!" Venus said to Lightning.
"Yes, that maybe true, Venus. But remember to Venus, Ember doesn't have the power or the ability to send death images of the future, that power only belongs to the Chronicler himself. A weak little fire dragoness like Ember, couldn't even control the power right. That leaves only one dragon left." Lightning said to Venus, while he stared at the wall with a picture of a dark purple dragon in it.
"You're not talking about?" Venus said to him.
"Yes, the one who sent those dreams and images? Is Malefor the Dark Master!" Lightning said to Venus angrily. With that Lightning threw the dart at the picture of Malefor on the wall and the glass shattered into millions of pieces and landed on the hard floor. Venus looked behind her and saw that the dart had hit the head of Malefor in the picture. Venus looked back at Lightning and saw that he was still a little angry and decide to wait.
"I hope he stays in that purple prison and dies, and if he does come back. I'll break every bone in his body and kill him without mercy or remorse!" Lightning said to himself. Lightning then sat down on his hind legs and wrapped his white scaled tail around and signed. With this Venus made her move, she moved forward to Lightning and stopped until they were face to face, Lightning saw this and asked her about it.
"What is it you want, Venus?" Venus then made her move and moved her red muzzle under Lightning's head and nuzzled into his neck. This of course caused Lightning to blush a little and he couldn't hind it seeing how his scales are white. Never the less, Lightning was enjoying the contact between him and Venus, her light red scales were warm and were warming up his scales. Lightning then gave in and nuzzled her head with his muzzle which made Venus smile and purr a little. As they sat their nuzzling each other, Lightning was thinking to himself.
"If only I could tell her my true feelings for her, then she would stop nuzzling the other males for their affection and would be with me. Sometimes I think she doesn't find me handsome or hot, she just looks at me like a brother or friend would do. If she does go for another male, I'll deal with the pain and heartache and move on with my life, but still it pains me to see her with other dragon that won't treated her right, but that's her choice and decision to make, not mine. Like Light said to me, "If she doesn't love you, then just move on and never look back. The past will only bring pain and heartache to you, move forward to a better and promising future, there you should find the one you love one day." When the time comes for Venus to choose between me and the other male, I'll be ready, and If she does choose me then I'll be happy for the rest of my life, but if she doesn't choose me and go's off with the other dragon, then I'll move on and never look back, that I promise!" As Lightning was still nuzzling Venus, she started to thinking to herself.
"I do like Lightning, he is handsome, kind, silent, caring, and smart, but he's still a light dragon and I've heard stories of how light dragons would give up their lives to save others including their own family and mate, then after they die, the mates of the light dragons would find other dragons take them as their mate and father the younglings. I don't want that to happen to me, if I did become mates with Lightning, he'll die and save my life, then I'd be all alone in the world without a mate by my side and I would have to move on in my life. I know Lightning loves me deeply, but I just don't share the same feelings as him as he does for me. I'm sorry Lightning, but I just can't love you, I'm so sorry. I hope my best friend in Warfang is still waiting there for me, because I'm still waiting for him." As both Lightning and Venus nuzzled each other some more, Scarlett the dragoness was in the hallway and had heard everything in their minds and had a sad face on her red muzzle, her eyes were half closed and she signed to herself while thinking.
"Venus, that maybe true, but Lightning is not going anywhere or dying any time soon. What you don't know Venus that Light and Lightning are stronger than you think they are. It would take 20 purple dragons to take those two down, and Venus I hope you make the right choice that day." With that Scarlett walked the hallway and leaving Lightning and Venus to themselves, Scarlett then thought to herself while walking the hallway.
"So Cynder left Light's castle, so the darkness within her is stronger than I thought, there's only one way to destroy the darkness within Cynder. Light must purify her soul and mind from Malefor's control and darkness, and then she's free from control and can live a normal life." Scarlett then was outside and had spread her large wings out and then jumped into the air and started flying towards Light's castle home.
