Here it is, chapter 1 of my sequel series to Spyro: Return of Darkness =D

Unfortunately, unlike my inadvertant lies during the last series, this one WILL be slow in production. Last time, by the time I started uploading, I had up to chapter 7 somewhat written out--this time, with time constraints I'm only a bit past 4.

In short: don't expect a fast turnout like Return of Darkness. I may get some chapters up quickly, but with my job and the post-holiday mess it's hard to find time to write, so expect delays.

BTW I do not own Spyro and Cynder, that's up to Sierra Entertainment and Krome Studios.

If you're under 18, I must ask you to leave.

Chapter 1 -- Time Has Passed

The reddened sun rose with a beautiful rainbow aura in the sky, casting its first rays on Spyro's purple eyelids. He blinked and slowly woke up, yawning and stretching with a smile as he felt the air filled with peace. As he sat by the river and let the sleep fall from his mind as he gazed at the multicolored clouds. Something stirred nearby, and he looked down at the black-and-red dragoness sleping peacefully by him. He smiled to himself and breathed deeply. Everything felt so good, even two years after he and Cynder had once again defeated the Dark Master. Spyro stretched again and walked a bit into the river, feeling the cool water wash by his paws and legs. He looked at his wavering reflection and sighed...he'd changed so much in the past two years. He was a good foot taller and three feet longer, if not more, than he'd been when they finally overcame the Dark Master last time...his purple muzzle was a tiny bit longer and more draconic now. The fins along his head and neck had grown longer, as had his curving gold horns. He stretched his red wings as far as he could and looked over them with a grin--they were no longer those shrimpy little wings that had somehow borne his weight in the air; now that were more like the wide, powerful wings of the four guardians in the Dragon Temple. He was still relatively slim, but over time he'd gained enormous strength, and looked a bit vainly at his solid gold-scaled chest in the water.

Cynder groaned sleepily and he looked back at her with a memory-laden smile. It was now apparent that Spyro was growing faster than she was, but she was still close behind him in size. Her black scales seemed almost darker now, while her ruby-red underbelly and wings seemed to have stolen the red from rainbows, they were so vivid. The three-piece pattern on her forehead was a brilliant gradient of purple-blue, and the three small silver scales below each eye glittered brightly in the rising sun. Her muzzle was lengthening along with the rest of her sleek body, but Spyro noticed a more gentle change about her. He'd been afraid more than once that she'd end up growing up into the sinuous, snake-like Cynder he'd defeated so long ago, but without the Dark Master's corruption poisoning her, her growth was more beautiful. Her horns were still short, and didn't show signs of becoming those long, sharp claws he remembered so well. The blades on her wing-joints weren't so sharp and evil-looking--they had a bit of a graceful curve to them now. Her face wasn't becoming that long, pointed, evil expression that burned in his mind when he thought of that fight; instead she was appearing more like a dragon than a winged snake of darkness. Spyro gazed at her slim but powerful physique...she was so stunningly gorgeous to him, he sometimes couldn't believe such a creature was his mate. On her right forearm was a small, gold-and-silver bracelet set with a clouded ruby that stood out brilliantly against her black scales, and Spyro sighed happily as he looked at it and remembered that night two years ago when they'd become one in the moonlight, right there where she was sleeping. Right there, they had become mates.

Spyro yawned and splashed the water with his tail absently as he looked at the sky. He heard Cynder yawn as her mind slowly kicked into gear, and he walked out of the water, shook his limbs off, and lay down by her and watched her wake up. Her emerald-green eyes slowly opened, and she smiled and yawned as the first thing she was was the loving smile and deep amethyst eyes of her purple mate next to her.

"Get a good sleep?" he asked, rubbing his cheek aganst hers as she lifted her head. His voice had deepened a tiny bit, and the others could no longer tell he was a young dragon when he spoke. Cynder return his nuzzle and sighed happily.

"With you here, how could I not?" she asked, kissing him. Her voice still had a breathy tone to it, but unlike when she'd been an adult under the Dark Master, her voice had a gentler, more melodious ring in it that Spyro just couldn't get enough of.

Spyro laughed to himself and put his wing over her. She snuggled up against him with a content smile, putting her head against his neck the way she always did. Because of the difference in their growth it was easier for her to lean against him like this now so he could lean his head against hers. "So, how's my beautiful dragoness this morning?"

Cynder giggled. "Same as always...madly in love with her purple dragon." She sensed something on his mind and looked up at him. "Ohhhh...you mean something else, don't you?"

He smirked; she was still able to read him without any difficulty. "Kind of."

She looked at the ground a little self-consciously. "Spyro, you sure you're ready to be a father now? Are we really ready to start a family?"

"Of course," he said softly, taking her chin his his paw and turning her face to his. "I have you by my side, don't I? And you have me."

She smiled and kissed him. "Sadly, Spyro, last night wasn't the night. I'm still ready, but I don't think the timing was right." She laughed sweetly as his eyes looked down. "Oh Spyro...two whole years and you're still so sensitive...by now you should be tougher than that!"

"I can be tough, you're just too sweet to be tough around." She laughed and kissed him again, recalling those very words from two years ago. Spyro wrapped his tail around hers and she sighed into his muzzle as he kissed her back. How he loved her sweet breath...the soft taste of her mouth...

Something popped into her mind and Spyro sensed excitement from her. She pulled away and looked at him with a gleam in her eye. "Remember Solar?"

"Ah, yes..." Spyro said, looking up at the sky as he remembered their icy friend from the parallel dragon world. "We haven't heard from him since he left...I hope he's found her."

"I know he's found Flare again," Cynder said, taking Spyro's paw in hers. "After all, he loves her to death, doesn't he?"

Spyro stiffened a bit at that phrase, and she realized what she'd said. "Oh, sorry...I didn't realize..."

"It's fine..."

She nuzzled her cheek against his. "Still can't forget that, can you?"

"Kinda hard not to forget something like that..."

She sighed. "But at least you did it for me, and in doing so you saved the entire realm."

He smiled at her...it was so hard for either of them to stay mad at the other for long. They'd had their arguments and spats over the past months, and had even physically fought each other a few times, but their anger rarely lasted more than a day. But Spyro still couldn't relieve himself of the pain of that selfless moment two years ago...that stroke that had hewn the Dark Master's power immeasurably. He sighed as she ran her paw along his foreleg. "Cynder...have you felt him nearby at all recently?"

"Sometimes in a dream...I know he's still out there, but I don't sense that same evil power he had back then. He's still angry at us, but then again, I'd be angry if someone killed me twice."

Spyro looked to the north, and she knew what he was thinking. "I just hope Solar's okay out there," Spyro said, shaking his head. "I really hope he found Flare."

"An ice dragon and a fire dragon..." Cynder said to herself, amused. "Guess it's not much different than me and you, is it?"

He grinned and wrapped his arm over her and pulled her next to him. "Got that right."

"Didn't we say we'd help him search for her?"

"Yes, but he went off because he wanted to find her on his own, remember?"

"Oh yeah..."

Spyro stood up and groaned, tensing his legs and neck. Cynder slowly stood up as she stretched and yawned, a small flame coming from her mouth as she exhaled loudly. "Come on, I think we should head back." Cynder nodded and with a powerful shove of their wings they shot skyward and flew back to the Dragon Temple. Terrador was sitting on the balcony, looking at the sky when the two younger dragons landed. The elder dragons hadn't changed much in two years, but Spyro and Cynder could tell they were winding down with age. Terrador sighed and turned to them.

"I hope you two had a good time out there...more disturbing news has reached us overnight."

Spyro's smiling face went serious as his eyes clouded over. "More news? What is it this time?"

"The Atllama of Tall Plains have predicted a strange recurrence of evil spreading...the Dark Master is far too weak still to do us any harm, so we have no idea what is behind this new darkness."

"But that's the old news!" Cynder said. "What's going on now?"

"Ignitus has seen something coming...something dark and evil that wishes to replenish the Dark Master's power." Cynder shuddered at the thought, and Spyro draped his wing over her and pulled her close to him. "No, Cynder, after that last battle, I don't think the Dark Master can use you to his advantage anymore. But Cane, leader of the Atllamas, has also seen the approach of this evil. We can't tell when or where it's coming..."

"So the peace ends..." Spyro sighed.

"Not quite yet," Cynder said, leaning against him. They followed Terrador inside, and Cynder watched as the huge statue in the main room of the Temple sank into the floor and Terrador coached Spyro's earth powers. There was a ledge along the wall of the room, and Cynder perched on it as she watched her purple mate blast the target dummies with earth blasts from his mouth. He was so handsome as he fought...she couldn't take her eyes off of him as he whipped a dummy into the air and slammed it back down into the group gathering below him. Spyro blasted them with a powerful earth bomb, sucking the dummies into a whirlwind and giving him the chance to knock the stuffing out of them.

Finally, his training was over, and Spyro joined Cynder as they walked to their room adjacent to the main room, the floor vibrating as the gigantic dragon statue rose back up into place. The two stood at the window of their room, looking out at the mushroom forest surrounding the Temple, Cynder as usual resting her head against Spyro's neck and Spyro reclining his head against hers. He felt a familiar excitement grow in her and chuckled.

"You wanna try for a family again?" he asked, wrapping his arm around her and giving her a little shake.

Cynder laughed. "I used to scare you with how well I read you, but you're scaring me now."

"So it's a yes?" he asked with a smirk.

She smiled slyly at him and planted her mouth on his. "You know the answer," she said when he pulled away with a grin. He followed her out through the window to their favorite spot by the river. As they flew, Cynder saw Spyro's dragonhood slowly emerge from his sheath, and she ducked underneath him and gave him a playful lick. He jerked and looked down at her.

"You really can't wait, can you?" he asked. "Come on, leave me alone, do you realize how hard it is to fly like this?"

"Okay, fine," she said pathetically, giving him huge, sad eyes. He laughed...he couldn't resist that face. Cynder folded her wings against her body and plummeted to the ground, coming to a graceful stop and rolling onto her side as Spyro landed atop a mushroom and looked down at her. She looked up at him enticingly, spreading her hind legs a bit to give him a better view of herself. "Come on, you know you want me," she said, and he laughed.

"I dunno...do I really?" he teased, but flew down to her, and she murred as she saw his long, thick purple-red erection ready for her.

"Oh yeah," she sighed, rolling onto her back for him. She looked up into his eyes and he brought her into a deep, passionate, loving kiss as he slowly edged himself over her, his throbbing meat aching as he excited her. He lowered his hips and smiled to himself when she gasped and shivered as he slowly rubbed his length on her glistening vagina. She looked at him with a desperate desire in her eyes. "Do it already," she moaned. Spyro pulled himself back and slowly entered her, sending a pulse of pleasure through her.

"Oooooooohhhhhh..." they both groaned at once as he continued to slowly push his cock into her, pleasure rippling through them as she stretched around him and squeezed him. He stayed inside her for a bit as they kissed each other, and moaned as he pulled out to start the rythym. Cynder's heat kicked in again, sending a powerful craving for him through her, and Spyro felt it as her juices softened her grip on his member even as she clenched around him.

"You're ready then?" he asked.

"Please...stop stalling..." she groaned. "I want you so badly it hurts..."

"Well then I'll ease the pain," he said softly and lustfully, and pushed into her. Her painful desire turned into instant pleasure and she moaned loudly, wrapping her arms around his neck as he slowly thrust in and out of her. She wrapped her tail around his and let him take over as he slowly sped up. She didn't need to tell him to go faster or harder; as the desire came to her mind he sensed it and readily complied until he was ramming himself into her and making both of them scream with each thrust. Spyro shuddered with a loud moan as his cock spurted his hot pre-cum into Cynder, and she shivered as she felt him coating her insides. Spyro locked his lips to hers and went all-out as they lost themselves to each other in ecstasy and love. As usual, they excited each other even more by sharing their flamebreath in each other's mouths, but Spyro tried something a bit different and used a few tiny sparks of electricity.

The new sensation sent Cynder over the edge and she flung her head back and screamed "SPYYROOO!!" as she climaxed, and the onslaught of her fluids around his member made him lose himself and he roared, shaking the ground with his voice as he finally released in her. Cynder shivered and moaned happily as she felt his hot waves of love gush into her. Spyro wanted her thoroughly satisfied and kept himself erect as long as possible, still thrusting in her even though his legs were wobbling from the intensity of his orgasm. She'd drained him last night, though, and eventually he stopped and pulled out of her.

Before he could lie down next to her, though, she whipped herself around underneath him and took hold of his still-visible meat and began sucking him off, indulging in the taste of both her juices and his. He moaned and shuddered as she licked him just the way she knew he liked it, and she grinned to herself as his softening member grew stiffer again in her mouth. She took as much of him into her muzzle as she could, rolling her tongue over his sticky shaft and savoring his flavor. She was growing aroused again, and Spyro smelled her leaking out of herself and decided to return the favor. He lay on his side without interrupting her and ran his tongue over her dripping sex, and she moaned and sucked on him harder as his tongue entered her and began cleaning her. His mouth played with her opening as his tongue wriggled inside her, and she groaned as her arousal increased swiftly. Before she could react, she came again, and Spyro grinned as he lapped up her juices as they leaked from her. She had just barely managed to keep from biting him or roasting him in her orgasm, and furiously rubbed and licked his member until he moaned loudly into her and filled her mouth with the last of his cum. She tried to contain it all, but even for it being a second time he still had too much for her. They lay there for a few seconds, panting in their afterglow before thoroughly licking each other clean and coming together in a deep, loving kiss. Cynder's heat had died off in the action, and Spyro sensed her question long before she could pull herself away from him to ask. They stared into each others' eyes before finally breaking the kiss and contenting themselves to cuddling by the riverside. Cynder knew he knew what was on her mind.

"Well, I think you're a father by now," she said, nudging him with a grin. He smiled and kissed her on the forehead as she snuggled up next to him.

"Well, you told me a while back that you wanted children...who better for a mother than my night-scaled dragoness?"

"And who better for a father than my purple dragon?" she asked, hugging him. He wrapped his wide red wing around her and grinned. She sensed the same question on his mind that was entering hers, and she caught his eyes. "I don't think we'll have to worry, Spyro. We don't know if that evil whatver-it-is is really coming or not, or how soon."

"I know...I just...I can't help but worry..."

"Oh Spyro...so concerned...I love that about you. But sometimes you worry just a little too much."

He chuckled and looked up at the sky. "I can't help but wonder, though...I keep feeling like something's coming...remember that day that Solar appeared? I was feeling his approach?"

"I remember..."

"I keep feeling that...it's been slowly getting stronger, but only VERY slowly. It's still there, though..."

Cynder yawned and Spyro slowly stood up. "Come on, let's clean up and get you to bed."

"Get US to bed," she corrected him. "C'mon, I know you're tired too."

"Okay, fine," Spyro said with a smile as she started giving him that sad, wide-eyed face again. He kissed her quickly. "You're just too sweet to say no to...at least easily." She giggled and waded into the river. Even though they had grown a bit, the water was still deep enough that their bodies were halfway submerged if they stood up, and Cynder sat on her haunches as Spyro slowly and lovingly washed her off, making sure he got every one of her soft black scales and every ruby scale of her underbelly as she leaned back to give herself to his care. When he was done she turned to him and he sat back as she returned the affection, washing off every one of his handsome purple scales. She loved the feel of his solid golden chest under her paws, and made sure his chest was the last thing she washed. When done she wrapped her arms around him, and he did the same to her and they sat there in a warm embrace, enjoying each others' love before Cynder shivered at the temperature of the water and Spyro helped her back onto dry land. They took off towards the Temple, lazily gliding and feeling the late-morning air pass over their drying scales. Volteer was taking off when they finally landed on the balcony, and Ignitus was sitting in the doorway watching his fellow guardian fly off.

"Where's Volteer going?" Cynder asked.

"He's gone to check on a disturbance at Dante's Freezer," Ignitus replied. "I trust you two have been enjoying yourselves?" he asked with a warm smile. They both nodded.

Cynder leaned up to Spyro and spoke in an audible whisper. "I think 'Grandpa' Ignitus will be in for a surprise," she said, looking sidelong at Ignitus. The fire elder looked down and grinned a bit sheepishly, and they laughed--it was a rare thing when Ignitus seemed embarrassed or uncomfortable like this.

The fire guardian cleared his throat. "So, I assume you two have decided to start a family now?"

"I do believe so," Spyro said, looking at Cynder with a smile.

"You do realize it takes a minimum of two months for eggs to develop?" he asked, and they nodded--he'd already gone over this with them a good year and a half ago.

"And another few months for them to hatch...I know," Cynder said, rolling her eyes. "You know, the way you keep reminding us, it almost seems as if you don't want little dragons running around here," she said jokingly.

Ignitus looked at the floor, and Spyro understood--Ignitus still hadn't gotten over the raid so many years ago...the raid Spyro and Cynder had been the sole unhatched survivors of. "Ignitus, don't worry...it's not the Year of the Dragon, Gaul's long gone, Cynder's my mate, and the Dark Master so far as we know isn't anywhere near strong enough to challenge us again."

"That's not what worries me, though," Ignitus replied, his face going grave again as he looked out over the land from the stairwell. "I have good news and bad news concerning this approaching evil..."

"Well, bad news first," Spyro said.

"The approaching evil is stronger than the Dark Master...in fact, it seems to be the Dark Master's master, to put it in other words."

Cynder looked at Spyro in shock, and met the same look in his purple eyes as he glanced down at her.

"Good news, though...it would seem that somehow, the evil is being held off, and it will take some time for the shadow to gain enough strength to enter our realm."

"You mean it's not here?" Cynder asked, confused.

"Yes. Solar came from a parallel world...this evil seems to be spread among the various REALMS--or dimensions, as Solar put it--and the parallel worlds within those realms. It cannot enter our world for some reason that I have not yet seen, but I believe that something--or someONE--is holding it off."

"Can't be Solar, can it?"

"No. I have seen Solar in the pool of visions...but I did not see whether or not he has found Flare."

They talked for a bit longer before Cynder yawned again and Spyro excused them and took her to their bedroom. Their large, expandable stone-frame bed lay there, waiting for them, and Spyro helped Cynder onto it before walking around and jumping up to his spot. He pulled the cream-white blanket over both of them, running his paw briefly along it and thinking of the generosity of the Atllama tribe in sending him and Cynder this gift. As was their custom, Spyro wrapped himself around Cynder, tucking her head between his chin and chest and holding her safe and warm against him as he spread his wing over her under the covers.

"Sleep well," he whispered to her, and she nestled against him and closed her eyes with a happy sigh.

Spyro and Cynder slept lightly until mid-afternoon, and headed outside to sit on the temple roof and sunned themselves for a bit. Spyro turned to Cynder and kissed her on the cheek as she lay next to him, and she giggled, her eyes still closed.

"What?"

"Nothing, just can't stay away from you."

"'Cuz I'm just that pretty, right?"

"Far more than pretty."

Cynder rolled onto ther side to face him. "You have something on your mind; I can feel it."

"You always do," he said with a smirk, then lay his head back as he looked up at the sky. "Just thinking about Solar and Flare..." He looked back at Cynder and opened his mouth to speak, but something caught his eyes and she turned around to see what he was looking at.

"Is that..." she asked, squinting and slowly getting up.

"Well, speak of the dragon!" Spyro said excitedly, and he and Cynder stood up as two specks grew swiftly as they approached--one white, one yellow-orange. A few seconds later they heard Solar call out, and they yelled their greetings to him. Solar landed on the roof by them and Cynder rushed up to him and hugged him. In the past two years, the tall white ice dragon hadn't grown much, but the single scale sweeping back from his forehead seemed longer and broader. When Cynder released him his ice-blue eyes turned to Spyro, and they pounded fists and punched each other in the shoulder lightly with happy grins.

"Long time no see!" Solar said. "I brought someone to see you guys like I said I would." He looked up and a yellow dragoness with deep-blue eyes and orange wingskins and underbelly flew down and softly landed on the roof beside him. She was a head shorter than her mate and had graceful fin-scales along her body that looked like curving tongues of flame, contrasting with Solar who only had a thin stripe of rippling fins along his neck and back. Around her neck ran a beautiful gold chain. "Spyro, Cynder, this is my mate, Flare. Flare, this is Spyro and Cynder."

Flare looked at Spyro with a warm grin. "I've already known these two for a while," she said, and Cynder and Spyro were a bit confused.

"Flare told me about the dreams she sent you, Spyro."

"OH!" Spyro said, suddenly remembering. "Yeah...sorry I never told you, Solar, but when you settled down Cynder and I knew you had found a way to communicate with her..."

Solar waved his paw dissmissively. "Ah pfffft, you're fine. I understand. So what's been going on recently? Anything new now that the land's been so peaceful?"

Spyro and Cynder looked at each other slyly. "Well," Cynder said, looking back up at Solar, "Spyro and I...we've kinda...well, let's just say we're planning to be parents sometime soon."

Solar and Flare looked at each other with the same expression and Flare looked at Cynder with another warm smile. "You're not alone," she said, looking down a bit but still keeping her eyes on them. "Solar and I have decided to crash with you guys for a bit as we wait until we know for sure."

"How long did it take you, Solar?" Spyro asked.

"Whaddaya mean? Family or finding her?"

"Finding her."

"Didn't take him very long, actually," Flare said with a giggle, leaning up and kissing Solar on the cheek. "Once he figured out I was far to the north he tracked me down. Only took him about a week after he left you guys."

"So what've you been doing for the past two years?" Cynder asked.

Solar blushed a bit. "Trying to get lucky, you could say."

Flare backed him up. "Guess in our excitement at seeing each other again and finding a new place to stay, our timing was never right. We lost track of time pretty quickly."

They all laughed and chatted happily until the sun set. Spyro and Cynder led Solar and Flare into the Temple and introduced Flare to the others, and then after some discussion between Solar, Flare, and the guardians, they set about finding a place for the two to stay. It didn't take long--Solar and Flare both insisted on sleeping on the balcony as Solar had done when he had stayed there two years ago. Spyro and Cynder eventually cuddled in their bed with heavy yawns.

"I'm so glad they're together again," Cynder said sleepily as Spyro wrapped his arms around her.

"After what he's been through, they deserve to be happy," Spyro said. After a few moments of just staying with other and enjoying their company, Cynder sighed and pushed away from Spyro a bit.

"Spyro...I don't know why but I'm worried...if we missed it this morning, it'll be another three months before we can try again..."

"You mean before we can be sure you'll be ready again. Ignitus said you can never really tell, even between your heats."

"Yes, but still...I mean, I was ready last night but nothing happened...what if today wasn't it either?"

Spyro hugged her tight and nuzzled her comfortingly, and she sighed happily against him. "Don't worry...I think we hit it today."

"I sure hope so...it's so painful when I'm ready...but you always make me feel so much better."

Spyro grinned and kissed her, and she lay her head on him with a content smile and he wrapped his wing over her as she fell asleep.

The next day dawned bright and a bit chilly but quickly warmed as the four dragons woke up. Ignitus and the other elders were still asleep as Spyro, Cynder, Solar, and Flare went for a casual cruise over the mushroom forest. Cynder and Flare stayed behind the two males, chatting between each other and laughing. Spyro and Solar kept stealing back-glances at their mates as they flew.

"Spyro, you got lucky with Cynder...you'd be the envy of all the other males here if there were any."

"I know," Spyro grinned, looking back at Cynder. "Y'know, Flare's pretty good-looking too...are all girls in Paralos that pretty?"

Solar blushed a bit with a half-smile. "Nah...in my opinion she's a goddess among them."

"You talkin' about us up there?" Flare asked, and Spyro and Solar hurriedly shook their heads, much to the amusement of the two dragonesses. "Boys," she said to Cynder with a roll of her eyes, and she and Cynder broke out laughing. Solar shook his head.

"I forgot how chatty and sociable girls can be," he groaned.

"Is this normal?" Spyro asked.

"Sub-average."

"Oh boy..."

"Yeah. It got really annoying in the military when new females came in. Took them forever to shut up."

Spyro laughed. "Was Flare ever in the military? She seems like it."

"You checkin' out my mate there, Spyro?"

"No, I got the best one in the world already."

"That's debatable," Solar said jokingly, but went on to answer Spyro's question. "No, Flare was never in the military. Her parents never approved of combat...stupid socialist peace-keepers, even after she was attacked multiple times and were told many times over that she needed to learn how to defend herself...I taught Flare what she knows of fighting but she's just not geared for combat. She can hold her own, but not for long. She loves me protecting her, though, so I guess it's all good."

After a while they encountered a grove of fruit trees, and descended and ate their fill. Flare walked around through the forest with Solar, marvelling at everything. Spyro and Cynder stayed by the river-side and cuddled with each other while they waited for the other two to return. Solar and Flare found them making small fireworks by spitting tiny fireballs over the river and trying to get them to collide before hitting the water.

On their way back to the Temple, Spyro suddenly stopped, and Cynder yelled as he began vibrating in pain.

"What's going on?!" Flare asked, afraid.

"It's happening again!!" Cynder shrieked, recognizing this from that night two years ago when Flare had, unknown to them at the time, been flung headlong between the parallel worlds. Spyro opened his eyes, seeing everything in red, and he roared in pain as his body began thrashing. All at once the air around them snapped and there was a bright flash near Spyro followed immediately by a pained, screaming yell from someone falling to the ground. Cynder caught Spyro as his wings gave out and Solar and Flare rushed down and caught whoever it was that had just passed between the dimensions. He was badly hurt and without a second thought as to who or what he was they rushed him to the Temple.
