Cynder woke up and looked out the window at the sky. She watched some birds fly by, and sighed. Some movement caught her eye and she looked down to see Michael, Trice, and Sarah talking in the main square, Sarah was holding a small sword, and was inspecting it thoroughly. They talked for a minute before Mary stepped out of the house. She walked up to them and talked for a bit, before taking off with Trice. Cynder got up, and looked over at the table they had in her room, she looked at the old set of jewelry, then craned her neck to admire the new ones. Her mother’s family sigil was the only thing Spyro had changed, and she thought it was perfect. She stepped out of the house and stretched, spreading her wings to full length, then settled back and walked up to Michael and Sarah.

“Hey” Sarah nuzzled her a little, then looked at her new jewelry “You’re wearing the sigil?”

“Spyro put it on them for me” Cynder explained “What’s with the sword.”

Sarah handed Michael the sword for him to explain.

“This is your mother’s, it is her first sword, I gave her this when she about the same age you were when Spyro rescued you. Her soul is trapped inside, I found it while looking through my old cellar.”

“She’s In there?” Cynder gasped

“Yep, and now we only have to find Fury.” Michael replied

Cynder stared intently at the sword, it showed no special sign. She looked up at Michael, and thanked him for working so hard to bring them back.

“Despite what Sarah thinks, she’s my daughter too.” Michael replied

Sarah rolled her eyes, but nodded admittingly. Michael put the sword in his inventory, then summoned a piece of paper.

“Another check off the list, but I need a lot more to reverse the spell.” He sighed

Spyro walked out of the house and Cynder told him what Michael had said. They talked about the spell itself for a while before Michael had to leave. They went back into the house to relax for a while, but only got two hours before four dragonflies burst through the door.

“Surprise, we heard you were back.” Nina exclaimed, landing on his nose

Flash set a strange bag down on the table before greeting Spyro.

“Hey son, how was your trip?”

“Good, we found the void dragon, and Cynder’s grandparents.” Spyro answered

“Ugh, so that explains all the look-alikes out there.” Sparx replied

Cynder shot him a look “Oh, you’re here too.”

“Of course.” Sparx shot back

“What’s that?” Spyro asked Flash

Nina brightened “We have big news, Spyro, meet your future brother or sister.”

She pulled the cover off of the bag to reveal a small green egg. It was glowing faintly, pulsing like a heartbeat. Spyro blanched and coughed.

“My, what?” He smiled

“Since you and Sparx had left the house, it was feeling kind of empty, so we decided to have another.” Nina explained

“Uhm, congratulations” Cynder mumbled, feeling embarrassed.

She tried to back away from the intimate moment between Spyro and his adoptive parents.

“Oh no you don’t missy, get back here, you’re family too.” Nina called sternly

Cynder blushed and walked back next to Spyro. She stared at the small green egg and smiled.

“It’s so small.” She spoke

Nina smiled back at her. “Yeah, Spyro’s was MUCH bigger than this”

They sat in silence for a while, before Sparx coughed and flew to the center of the group.

“In other news, were engaged!” He exclaimed

Spyro looked stunned, “Two hits in one day. Wow, congrats Sparx”

June flew up and smacked Sparx “You were supposed to wait for dinner.”

“Ow, the silence was too awkward.” He yelped

“Well, I for one am glad that there is somebody that can keep a handle on Sparx” Cynder laughed

“I am not a door; I shall not be handled!” Sparx yelled and flew out of the house with June chasing him.

Flash sighed “The whole dang trip” He grumbled

Flame poked his head through the door.

“Hey, you guys busy?” He asked

Spyro looked over to Flash and Nina, who were tired out.

“No, they need to rest after the trip, were free.” He said decidedly

Flash nodded appreciatively, then took the bag with the egg in it and flew into a guest room. Nina landed on Spyro’s muzzle and said goodnight, then flew after Flash. Cynder got up and stretched, and walked out of the house, Spyro stayed to make sure his adoptive family was settled in. Cynder noticed that Ember, Aura, Sam, Layla, and Camry were all waiting for them.

“Camry, Layla, I thought you went back home like everyone else after the party.” She said to them.

“We decided to stick around for a little while, the hatchlings are driving us nuts, and they probably were freaking out when mom and dad got back.” Camry replied

“So, what are we doing?” Cynder asked

“The Triad world fair arrived in Faun last week, and we wanted to go check it out before either we left or they did.” Flame told her

“What’s a fair?” Cynder asked

“A combination between a festival, a market, and a party. There is a bunch of food markets, some musicians are playing, and there is a bunch of cool stuff to look at.” Ember answered “There was one at Warfang once, but I only saw it one time before it stopped.”

Cynder looked down.

“It had nothing to do with you. The fair ran out of money and closed down; people weren’t visiting it much after the portals closed. Maybe they will start it back up again since there up again.” Ember told her.

Cynder smiled faintly, and Spyro walked out of the house. They told him where they were going and took off. Flame led the group for a while, before Trice caught up to them with speed. She smiled at the group and joined them. When they landed just outside the entrance, they noticed Michael was already there, waiting for them. He laughed at their confusion, and entered the fair. Spyro paid a stunned ticket vendor, and entered the fairgrounds. The sights were amazing, fun games and food stalls lined the sides of the path. The whole grounds were a maze, dozens of people were walking around, enjoying the fair. The group watched as children ran back and forth, laughing, their faces were filled with joy. Michael’s eyes were glowing a sharper shade of blue than normal; he could feel the pure joy in the air. Spyro went over to a stall and inspected its strange food items. He bought a couple apples dipped in caramelized sugar, and handed them out. Cynder looked at hers strangely, and took a bite, her eyes flashed as she realized that it was delicious. She quickly devoured the apple and smiled at Spyro. They kept walking through the fair, Spyro played one of the games, and won a fire core. He walked back to them with a confused look on his face.

“Cores for the main four elements are so easy to find that they are commonly given away as prizes.” Michael told him.

Spyro nodded, still confused, then jumped out of the way as a group of children barreled past them. They reached the main center of the fairgrounds, a big area filled with tables and banners. The group split off into pairs while Michael said he would wait at the center. Cynder gasped as she saw a black dragon related game and dragged Spyro to it. The stall keeper’s jaw dropped when she saw Cynder, and barely was able to function as she told Cynder how the game works.

“You have to touch the ball, and if you can make it turn darker, you win a little statue… of you” She stated

Cynder smiled, and touched the sun core, it instantly darkened, and stopped emitting light. She let go of the core and it turned back. The humor of this broke the keepers shock and she laughed.

“Well shoot, I didn’t expect that.” She wheezed

Spyro raised his eyebrows, and the keeper gave them a small statue of Cynder. She laughed and picked it up, amazed at the detail. She put the statue away and thanked the keeper then kept walking with Spyro. They passed stalls of all kinds, ate foods they have never even heard of, and watched as children of all species and ages laughing and playing. Spyro and Cynder noticed hundreds of courting couples, they were holding tails, or paws, and usually talking in hushed whispers. After a few hours of enjoying the fair, the group rejoined back at the center. Michael was waiting for them with Nebula, they both were staring trance-like at the night sky. It took them a minute to wake them from their trance, they both blinked and greeted the group. Michael nodded to them and vanished, Nebula smiled and looked at the group, and took flight. They followed him home, and landed back into the square. Michael was already there, and he looked up and smiled at someone in the shadows. The group gasped when a very dark, almost black, purple dragoness walked into the square and up to Michael. They nuzzled affectionately for a while; the purple dragoness rubbed hard against Michael’s neck. They parted and turned towards the group.

“Everybody, meet my mate, Beatrice.” Michael introduced her.

“Call me Bea” The purple dragoness spoke “Hello again, Spyro”

Cynder turned to her mate “You met her?”

“I did when I was wandering around Michael’s mind.” Spyro answered

“Word to the wise, don’t enter the mind of someone who has limitless forms.” Bea laughed

“I realize that now” Spyro replied

“So, you’re the famous mate of the Ultimate Guardian.” Ember spoke

“Famous?” Bea noticed Nebula. “Nebula! Hi! It’s been to long.”

“Hi” Nebula greeted.

Aura landed next to them, then noticed Bea.

“Mom!” She ran up and nuzzled the purple dragoness.

“Hi sweetie, I heard about your mate, where is he?” Bea nuzzled her back

Sam stepped out from behind a wall, and chuckled nervously

“Hi”

“Hello Sam, nice to meet you. Welcome to the family.” Bea replied

Onyx walked into the square to see the commotion, he saw Bea and froze.

“You, where have you been?” Bea yelled

“Um… Elsewhere?” He mumbled

She growled.

“Hey, no fighting in my district” Michael told them

“Where is Trice, and Junior?” Bea asked

“Trice is asleep at home, and Junior is god knows where in a different galaxy.” Michael rolled his eyes

Bea laughed “Of course they are, and how’s the hunt to bring my other daughters back?”

“I found Silver, but can’t find Fury.” Michael answered

Bea nodded

“Your purple?” Spyro asked

“It’s just my form, Michael is a void dragon, I’m a purple, it doesn’t really matter, it’s just a color I like. My magical color is purple.” Bea explained

They talked for a while, before Trice came out and nuzzled her mother.

“Good to see you in this form.” She spoke

“Good to see you awake.” Bea replied

Trice rolled their eyes. The group talked for a while, then it got late and everyone went to bed. Spyro curled around Cynder, and sneezed, causing Cynder to laugh.

“That was so graceful.” She chuckled

Spyro rolled his eyes

“So, you met Bea for real, she’s nice.” Cynder cuddled against him

“Yeah, she’s cool.”

“She seemed to have the same energy as Michael, like they blended perfectly”

“They’ve been together for trillions of years, what did you expect?”

“I think we’re like that”

“I think we’re close”

Spyro laughed and closed his eyes, and fell asleep. Cynder felt his breathing slow, and smiled to herself, following him.

Cynder woke with a start, Spyro wasn’t curled around her, she looked around and started to panic. She gasped and felt herself start to hyperventilate.

“Hey, hey, I’m right here, it’s okay.” Spyro told her.

Cynder looked at him and softened, she sighed and laid her head down

“You okay?” Spyro looked at her worriedly

“I just had a nightmare, I couldn’t find you, no matter where I looked.” She replied

“I’m here, I will always be here.” He nuzzled her

Cynder sighed “I know”

He curled back around her and nuzzled her neck for a while. After an hour, Michael knocked on their front door, and Spyro answered it.

“Are we going to Kanos?” Spyro asked

Michael nodded, and walked away. Spyro walked back into the bedroom and kissed Cynder.

“Time to go sweetie.”

Cynder groaned and stretched in her bed, smacking him with her wing. He laughed and grabbed her tail, she squealed as he pulled her out of the bed, then got up. He smiled when she gave him a withering look, and followed her out of the house. Michael, Mary, and Bea were already outside, waiting for them.

“It’s just the five of us this trip, it would be better if we didn’t crowd Jade” Michael told him “She’s a bit shy.”

“She’ll recognize Michael and me, and probably you as well.” Mary told Spyro.

Spyro watched as Michael stepped forward, and opened a portal. He walked through it, and the rest joined them. They walked into a spread-out city; houses dotted the landscape. Dark grey clouds were looming ominously overhead, threatening rain. Michael led them down a narrow path, they walked for a few hours before they stopped outside of a normal-looking house.

“She’s going to be surprised, and she might not want to talk with anyone.” Michael warned

Michael motioned for them to stay while he walked up to the door, he knocked once and stepped back. A bright green dragoness opened the door and gasped when she saw him, then closed the door. A green drake opened the door and gave Michael a confused look, then called her back. She stepped back out of the door and blushed, her head was held low.

“Hello there, we’ve been looking for you.” Michael smiled

Jade lifted her head “We?”

Mary stepped out from behind the bush they were standing behind, and walked up to her sister.

“Hey there, Sprout.” She smiled, then gasped “Are you pregnant?”

Jade blushed more. “Yeah, I’m going to have an egg in a few weeks.”

Mary nuzzled her. “Congrats sis, I’m happy for you.”

“What about you, did you have any kids?”

“I had three a couple years ago.” Mary answered

Jade recoiled, stunned, and smiled. “I’m an aunt?”

Mary looked confused, “You’ve been an aunt. Sam, James, and Fury all had kids.”

“Fury had a kid? I thought he died.” Jade looked down

“It was right before.” Mary replied and looked back at the bush.

Spyro stepped out and smiled faintly. Jade gasped, and stepped back in surprise. Then did a double take as Cynder stepped out with him.

“Silver? She laid too?” Jade spoke

“She did, at the same time as Rose. Jade, meet Spyro, and his mate, Cynder.” Mary introduced them.

“Are you guys from Faun?” The darker green dragon asked

Michael nodded.

Jade watched as Cynder shied at her gaze, hiding behind Spyro. They walked up to her and greeted her.

“Can we move there?” The green dragon replied

Jade shot him a confused look.

“What? We need somewhere better to raise the hatchling, there isn’t much here.” He told her “Hi everyone, I’m Peri by the way.”

“You’re welcome to take your old house back.” Michael told Jade

“Old house?” Peri turned to Jade

“I used to live in a house in Michael’s district” Jade explained “Before I left.”

“Why did you leave?” Cynder asked

“My father died and my mother left, so I wanted to disappear. I wanted a clean slate and a mew life.” Jade explained “So I settled here, found Peri, who is a duke, and stayed here.”

“You ignored a massive pile of letters, and somehow eluded sixty-five hunters.” Michael added

“That might have been my doing.” Peri replied “I sent them to the other side of the planet.”

“So, Sam and James had kids?” Jade asked

“Yeah, they had a total of six, they are living together on the other planet of this system.” Mary answered.

“Wow, I can’t believe this. How am I the last one to have kids?” Jade mumbled to herself.

Bea coughed

“Oh, Beatrice, it’s been so long. How have you been?” Jade looked over at her

“Fine, fine. I’ve just been in another dimension for the last couple hundred years.” Bea replied

Jade nodded, then looked around at the whole group.

“Well, it was nice seeing you guys…”

“What? They aren’t leaving, we need to discuss our move.” Peri interrupted her

Jade blushed, and looked back at the group. “I uhm, don’t really want to move.”

Michael sighed, and kneaded his forehead with his paw. “Your mother’s back at the palace.”

Jade snapped back, looking at him.

“She is?” She gasped

“Yep, wanting to see everyone, I wasn’t going to play that card but…” Michael droned on

Jade looked between Peri, Michael, and Spyro, before sighing.

“I guess we can move back then.” She spoke

Peri walked into the house to pack his things, they talked for a while before he walked back out with their things. Jade walked quietly, occasionally glancing at Spyro. He looked like a purple version of his father, and she was weirded out by it. They walked back into the center of the city and Bea opened a portal, her portals were purple instead of blue. They stepped through and Peri looked around, studying the houses. Jake stepped out of his and the kids followed, they rushed up and hugged their mother, asking all sorts of questions.

“Where, have you been? Who is that?” Storm asked

“This is your aunt, Jade.” Mary told them

They approached her wearily, she smiled at them and lowered her head. They giggled as she nuzzled them, each in turn. Then they ran off to play with some of the other children.

“Is the red one a sun dragon?” Jade asked

“Yes, Ray has a mutation, we’ve been having difficulty teaching him, but Aura has been helping us.” Mary replied

“Aura?” Jade replied

“Yes?” Aura stepped out from her house. “Oh, you must be Jade, you are hard to find, almost as hard as Onyx.”

“Onyx? What happened to him?”

“He saw something he didn’t like, and vanished, we just found him.” Michael answered

Looked around, watching the hustle and bustle of black and moon dragons in the square.

“Things have changed.” She replied

“Yep, that happens with time.” Michael rolled his eyes. “Your house is as you left it though.”
