You call upstairs for Cynder.
Cyder comes downstairs. You show her the map Cynder looks at the map and nods, "I know this place. The Crystal of Power is hidden deep within the Crystal Caves. But be warned, Spyro, the caves are treacherous. The walls are lined with sharp crystals, and the floors are covered in slippery ice. You'll need to be careful to avoid traps and pitfalls." She points to a location on the map, "This is the entrance to the caves. But you'll need to solve a puzzle to unlock the door." She informs.
"Well what are we waiting for you let's go? Come on Cynder let's go!"
Cynder grins, "Attitude like that will take us far, Spyro! Let's gear up and head out. We've got a crystal to find and a puzzle to solve."
You both set off towards the Crystal Caves, ready for whatever challenges lie ahead. As you approach the entrance, you see that the door is covered in intricate carvings. Cynder examines them closely, "This is the puzzle. We need to press the right sequence of buttons to unlock the door."
You start to press the buttons in a random order.
Cynder looks at you skeptically, "Spyro, I don't think that's the best idea. We need to figure out the correct sequence or we might trigger a trap."
But you're feeling lucky, so you continue pressing the buttons in a random order. The sound of grinding stone fills the air, and the ground starts shaking. Cynder's eyes widen, "Spyro, I think you've triggered a trap! We need to get out of here, now!"
"Don't worry we can fly, remember?" You say in a nonchalant tone.
Cynder's eyes light up with relief, "Right, Spyro! We can fly! Let's get out of here before it's too late!" You both spread your wings and take to the air, flying away from the trap just in time. The ground collapses behind you, and you hear the sound of rocks tumbling down. Cynder breathes a sigh of relief, "Thanks for remembering our flying skills, Spyro. That was close!"
You both fly back to the entrance, ready to try again.
" What if we press the buttons in order from biggest to smallest?"
Cynder looks at the buttons and nods, "That's a good idea, Spyro. Let's try pressing them in order from largest to smallest."
You both examine the buttons closely, and then you start pressing them in the correct order. The sound of clicking mechanisms fills the air, and the ground stops shaking. Cynder grins, "Well done, Spyro! I think we did it."
The door creaks open, revealing a dimly lit passageway.You unleash a fireball, illuminating the dark corridor. The flames dance across the walls, casting flickering shadows.
Cynder shields her eyes from the brightness, "Thanks for the light, Spyro. But maybe tone it down a notch?"
You adjust your flame, casting a warm glow over the corridor. The passageway stretches out before you, lined with glittering crystals. Suddenly, you hear a faint whispering in your ear. "Spyro, beware the guardians of the crystal."
You venture deeper into the corridor, the whispering growing louder. Cynder stays close, her eyes scanning the shadows. Suddenly, two massive crystal guardians emerge from the darkness, their facets glinting menacingly. They block your path, their voices booming in unison, "Halt, Spyro! You shall not pass!"
Cynder steps forward, "We mean no harm. We seek the Crystal of Power to restore balance to the Skylands." The guardians regard her coolly, "Prove your worth, then. Solve our riddle."You ask what their riddle is.
The guardians nod in unison, "Here is our riddle: What can be broken, but never held? What can be given, but never sold?" They regard you expectantly, "Answer correctly, Spyro, and you may pass."
Cynder whispers to you, "Think carefully, Spyro. This riddle sounds tricky." You take a moment to ponder the riddle.
"One's heart" you exclaim.
The guardians nod in unison, "Correct, Spyro! A heart can be broken, but it can never be physically held in one's hands. A heart can be given through love and affection, but it can never be sold like a commodity." They regard you with newfound respect, "You have proven your wisdom, Spyro. You may pass and claim the Crystal of Power." The guardians step aside, revealing a pedestal with the crystal glowing brightly.
You reach for the Crystal of Power, and as your claws touch it, you feel a surge of energy and magic flow through you. The crystal begins to glow even brighter, and you feel your powers growing stronger.
Cynder cheers, "You did it, Spyro! You retrieved the Crystal of Power!"
The guardians nod in approval, "Well done, Spyro. You have proven yourself worthy of wielding the crystal's power. Use it wisely."
You hold the Crystal of Power aloft, and its energy begins to radiate outward, filling the air with a warm, magical glow. The crystal's power starts to restore balance to the Crystal Islands, and you can see the effects immediately. The islands' colors become more vibrant, and the skies clear of the dark magic that had threatened to consume them.
Cynder smiles, "It's working, Spyro! The Crystal of Power is restoring balance to the islands."
The guardians nod in approval, "Well done, Spyro. You have saved the Crystal Islands."
"Time to head back home, Spyro. Our work here is done." Says Cynder.
You both say goodbye to the guardians and begin your journey back to the Skylanders' academy. As you fly over the Crystal Islands, you see the inhabitants emerging from their homes, smiling and waving at you. They're grateful for your help in restoring balance to their islands. When you arrive back at the house, Master Eon greets you warmly, "Well done, Spyro. You've saved the Crystal Islands and proven yourself a true hero."
"Thank you Eon, but I couldn't have done it without Cynder".
Master Eon smiles, "You both make a great team, Spyro and Cynder. Your friendship and teamwork are an inspiration to us all."
Cynder blushes at the praise, "Thanks, Master Eon. We make a good team because we trust each other." You nod in agreement, "That's true. We know each other's strengths and weaknesses, and we work together to overcome any challenges."
Master Eon nods, "That's the spirit of the Skylanders. Together, we can achieve anything."
