It was early in the morning as Aaron awoke to the call of the Elders. He lifted his head and looked out onto the balcony to see Ignitus and Cyrll both standing there waiting for him. He quickly jumped out of the bed and ran over to them before leaping onto Ignitus' back. Once he was settled and ready to go, they took off to the east.

As they flew over the land Aaron couldn't help but look down amazed upon the scenery which displayed in front of his view. All the fields filled with new colorful flowers or herbs. The sun shinning on the right stuff to send a rainbow of reflections at him and the flying dragons, but what amazed him the most was the view of the ocean he could see at that height. He could see the ocean before but not too well but now as he is lifted higher then the balcony's lever and more out towards the ocean; the view was magnificent. The waves crashing against the beach sending rays of reflections at him, all beautiful, but they flew right overt it and continued out towards the sea sending Aaron the idea of the Chronicler living on a island some where out there waiting to be discovered or found. Ignitus and Cyrll kept on flying more out to sea enjoying the sea breeze passing by their wing, the fresh sea scent washing over their nose, and lastly the beautiful view of the ocean. It was a at least an hour or so before they stop flying strait and just hovered above a empty space of the ocean, waiting for something.

"Why did we stop? I don't see an island that Chronicler could be on." Ignitus and Cyrll didn't answer him but kept waiting. Aaron was about to ask again when his answer started to appear. From out of the bottom of the sea an island started to slowly rise. It wasn't long before the whole island was floating out of the sea showing off the trees and plants which survived even after being drowned in water. Both of the dragons saw this and started to fly down towards the island. Upon reaching it they found a clear area and landed safely. Aaron jumped off Ignitus' back while the two dragons looked around. Aaron too started to explore seeing that there were no animals, plenty of plants, and a lot of statues. As they explore a mysterious voice spoke to all of them, and scared Aaron.

"Ah Ignitus and Cyrll, it's good to see you. What brings you to my island?" Aaron was looking around desperately trying to find the source of this voice.

"We came to seek knowledge about a creature." Cyrll answered.

"You mean the mysterious one named Aaron correct?" Aaron kept looking everywhere trying to find who was speaking.

"How do you know my name?" Aaron asked still looking around.

"I know almost everything that happens in this realm young one. You can stop looking as you will meet me soon, once you pass the test." Both Ignitus and Cyrll went wide eyed as they looked at Aaron.

"Chronicler, how is he going to past the test? He cannot control the elements so he can not pass the doors or the guardian." Ignitus pointed out as he talked with the Chronicler which Aaron gave up looking for seeing as he would meet him later.

"I am sorry Ignitus, but the only way he will be able to get here is if he passes the test. He doesn't have to take them. It's his choice so he can back out if he wants to." Aaron thought for a second as both Ignitus and Cyrll turned around to look at him.

"Aaron, you will have to" Ignitus was cut of as Aaron walked past him and stepped onto a platform.

"Where do I go to take this test?" He asked.

"Aaron you can't pass the test! You need to elements in order to pass." Cyrll said as he tried to talk Aaron out of trying to pass the test. He didn't listen as he waited for the Chronicler to answer.

"Just walk on the path ahead, and for your disability to use the elements I will allow you to pass all doors and to wield one weapon of your choice." Aaron nodded as he walked ahead leaving behind both Ignitus and Cyrll wondering if he would pass the test.

As he walked forward he passed a door which closed right behind him, he didn't pay it much mind as he kept walking forward to find several weapons displayed out in front of him. There was a short one handed sword, a long two handed sword, a long one handed sword, a pole, a spear, and lastly a pair of short twin blades. He thought it over for a bit before taking up the one handed long sword, but right after he picked it up the others disappeared. Even though that happened he was quite happy with the weapon he had now, so he continued on the path. He walked for several minutes not seeing a single thing when out of no where a statue appeared along the forest path, but he kept on walking past it in till he spun around with the sword held strong, slicing the statue in half. The statue fell with a dying moan. Aaron knew something was about to happen and seeing that was the sign, he knew he needed the weapon for something and he found that reason, to protect himself from the statue warriors. From then on he knew he had to watch for any statues which might come alive, but there was more then that to fight. As he made his way along the path more and more statue warriors block his path but he quickly passed through them with the sword in hand. Yet as he continued on a new threat made it self appear, a rock guardian. He prepared himself as he watched the guardian with careful eyes. The creature had seen him and went after him, and Aaron knew there was surely more to come.

Let's drive away from Aaron and go to our awakening hero Spyro. He had just gotten up and looked around. At first he was confused but instantly remembered about last night. He jumped up and looked over to Cynder's bed to see her sound asleep with a smile on her face. He sighed at the relief that she was still there, and she seemed very happy. This though made him think, and he remembered what he said to her last night. He thought a bit more about it, but he couldn't figure out why he said all that, and what this strange feeling is he felt for her. He looked over to her again and smiled. She seemed so beautiful when things were peaceful, everything seemed to be good. Even in the worst of times when he was with Cynder, just looking over to her seemed to make things a bit better, but now seeing her happy almost brought a tear into his eyes. He quickly wiped away a tear and looked back at her once more. He couldn't get enough of her beautiful smile, but once she groaned and slowly stood up, he looked away from her to avoid her seeing him staring at her again. She

stretched as she sat up, and looked over to Spyro with that smile still on her face.

"Good morning." She said and Spyro could hear the happiness in her voice.

"Good morning." He said as he looked at her with a smile. "How are you feeling today?" She could hear a bit of depression in his voice she it went away when she smiled a bit more.

"I'm feeling much better then yesterday." She looked at him and something flashed into her mind. "Hey Spyro?"

"Yeah Cynder."

"Did you really mean what you said last night?" Both their smiles disappeared and Spyro rubbed the back of his head thinking while looking away embarrassed.

"I do. I don't see any reason I would lie to you. I meant it when I said that I wouldn't know what to do if you left." He looked back at her with a smile. She was already smiling but seeing him smiled made her happier.

"Did you mean that part about Malefor doing good though?" She looked down and he thought for a second.

"I mean that...I mean...How can I say this? I mean if none of this was to happen I never

would have met you."

"But then no one would have died and you would have met someone better then me." He was shocked at her words but he quickly responded back.

"No I wouldn't have. I would probably have a bunch of girls gawking and flirting with me whiles you in the corner away from everyone else, preventing us from meeting. Cynder I not saying I'm glad people are dead but the past is dead just like them, all we can do about it is just bury it and look onto the future, but I hope my future includes you still living here, forgiving yourself and accepting that everything will be ok." She looked up at him, smile across her face, and tears rolling down her checks. She quickly hugged him and he hugged back.

"Thank you Spyro. Thank you for finally making me see, and let in the light. All there is to do now is live my life and forgive myself." He smiled more but back away about, still holding on to her soft scaled body, but far enough so he could see her eyes.

"There's still to deal with the Hunters and Malefor." Her smile disappeared and she nodded.

"I know but they are still at least a day away according to Hunter." He nodded.

"Well Aaron said he would deal with them but will he be able to?" Cynder thought for a second.

"I honestly have to say, I don't know. Humans have never been seen here so it's hard to tell if their weapons would hurt, let alone scratch him." He nodded.

"Well what do we do now about this?"

"Just wait. That's all I can say, but let's wait on the balcony." Spyro smiled as they both walked, side by side, down to the balcony. When they entered his room they expected to see Aaron but he wasn't there. They wondered on where he was but put it asides as they reached the balcony, letting the breeze slide over their scales.

Back to Aaron~

He had just gotten done dealing with the enemies when he finally reached his destination, the Chronicler's lair. He walked pass the big open door into the main part of the lair where a big never ending hour glass stood in the middle. To him it stood out saying he was the Chronicler, but who was he to judge. He looked around to try and find the Chronicler and Elders but couldn't see them. What he could see though was a big glowing pad in the middle of the room. He was curious and walked over to it but before he could get closer a voice spoke to him. This voice was almost feminine, unlike the Chronicler.

"If you wish to meet the Chronicler, you have to fight me!" Aaron stood ready but to his surprise, nothing came out." Step on the pad, and the fight will begin." He cocked an eyebrow but shrugged as he took a step closer, but before his foot could take the last step to stepping on the pad he heard the Elders rush into the room.

"Aaron wait! You can't fight that thing without powers!" Ignitus yelled.

"You need the elements to beat the guardian dragon! You don't have to do this! We will talk to the Chronicler and when we are done we will come and get you!" Cyrll added on but to his and Ignitus' surprise, Aaron just shook his head.

"No! I want to learn about this mark with you two and if this is the only way then let's say it is practice to get me ready to fight the Hunters." Before Ignitus and Cyrll could stop him he took his last step and hit the pad transporting him into a big black like realm, only standing on a thick piece of glass. He looked around sword still in his hand, ready to slice any enemy that may come but nothing. There's was nothing on the arena like disc with him. He shrugged and turn around just in time to see a pair of wings float out of the ground. He took a step back and held up his weapon but it disappeared in his hands leaving him with out a sword. He knew this was bad as the creature still rose. First the wings came completely out in a dark shade of blue, then the head with a snarl on its face, and the rest came after with the skin shredding nails and the sword like end on its tail. It looked at him and he looked its' dark blue body but shortly after it changed to a red color. It changed from red to green then to yellow before randomly picking green again. From that he could tell it was an element and from the shape he could also tell it was a dragon. He sighed as he ran towards it, and it stopped him with a slash of its' tail knocking back a few feet before landing. It hit him across the chest and he knew that was bad, if this thing opened the gash he might as well be dead. He quickly stood up to see it running straight towards him with much speed. He jumped out of the way but the dragon stopped and slashed at him with its claws. He ducked but jumped as it swung its' tail again. He did a back flip out of there in time to see the dragon do a three-sixty degree spin in the air with its' tail hanging out. He was lucky to be away enough to dodge it's menacing tail. When he landed he looked up to see it charging at him once again, he jumped to the side to reveal its path, a direct run off the edge. As it fell he could hear it roar as it fell lower and lower in till he couldn't hear it anymore. He clapped his hands a few times together before heading towards the middle of the arena. He looked up; ready to leave when a thought hit him.

"Didn't that thing have wings?!" He turned in time to see it flying right behind him and before it could grab him with its teeth he jumped and landed on its back. This mad it go crazy as it kept thrashing back and forth with a few reach backs to try and bite, to get him off. It tried flying, flipping, nearly about everything besides die with him, but it tried one last time to bite him. When she threw its neck back to bite Aaron took the opportunity and grabbed its head, right below the jaw before jumping down. When he jumped down he planned on snapping its neck right away but some how it manage to stay alive, Aaron thought it was unbeatable before he noticed the skin was now red and when he noticed that something flashed through him. Power swept through him for a second before he heard the spin chilling crack come from its neck. It fell with a thud, almost on him. He looked at the creature to make sure it was dead, but when he saw that the skin had lost its color and turned a dull black he knew it was dead. He smiled as he walked away, sure to this time that the creature was dead and not floating behind him, but to make sure he did turn around to see it still laying there making him feel better. He turned his attention back to the middle and looked up to see noting but black. He was about to ask what was going to happen next when a platform appeared under his feet making him teleport into the Chronicler's lair once again. He appeared to see the Elders there with big smiles on there faces, but he noticed that there was another dragon. His scales were of a grayish color, but he was old battered clothes with a sash to the side of his hips which seemed to carry multiple scrolls and around his neck seemed to lay a crystal necklace. Aaron looked up to meet the gaze of the Chronicler but his attention was drawn away to the beard under the Chronicler's jaw.

"Welcome Aaron." He said in a booming but kind voice." I see you made it past my elemental guardian dragon. Most impressive how you managed to pass her." Aaron shot back in surprise.

"It was a girl?" The Chronicler chuckled at his question but nodded.

"Yes. I made her appearance to match that of Cynder's when she was corrupted." Aaron nodded and looked at the Elders.

"Most amazing how you managed to kill the dragon. It took all of us Elders to do it, and you did it in half the time."

"I have to agree with Cyrll. What you did was amazing Aaron. You are certainly ready for those hunters." Aaron smiled.

"But that raises a question Ignitus." Chronicler responded.

"What question it that?" Ignitus asked.

"How did he do it? I made sure that you could only kill her if you have the elements, but he does not and yet somehow he managed to break her neck something I again made sure was not possible." This made them all think but Chronicler disrupted their thinking.

"This will be for another time. For now let me see that mark Ignitus has told me about Aaron." Aaron nodded and raised his right hand before turning it over and opening his palm to reveal the dragon shaped mark. Chronicler looked over it for some time while thoughts ran through his head. It was for several minutes as he though in till he finally lifted his head and turned his attention to one of the many books which hung in the book cases right behind him. He lifted his paw up and swung it over to himself, and soon a book was opening itself right in front of him. Aaron walked over to besides Chronicler and peered inside the book to see many markings, but none were of his. He lifted his head with disappointment and looked at the many books, but one caught his attention. It seemed to have a faint glow, but a glow that he could see. He lifted his hand and went towards it but for some reason he swung his arm, moving the book, and slamming it against the wall surprising everyone, even Aaron was shocked at what he did. Chronicler looked at the book before looking at him with a puzzled look.

"Did you do that young one?" He asked Aaron.

"Yeah, and I'm sorry I did that. I had no idea I could..." Chronicler silenced him with a wave of his paw.

"There is nothing to be sorry about. When something like this happens, it means that something in that book is important to the person." He responded as he waved the book Aaron had slammed over to himself. He opened the book and started turning pages in till...

"Stop. This page is glowing." Chronicler smiled as he knew this was the right page. He looked at the page to see that he was correct. This was what they were looking for.

"The mark of charms." Everyone looked closer when Chronicler said that and to their surprise, there it was, Aaron's mark, and right on the page next to the words "Mark of charms".

"What does this mean Chronicler?" Cyrll asked.

"It means our little human friend here has been charmed." Everyone took their attention and turned it towards Aaron while he looked at the mark on his hand.

"But which charm is it for?" Ignitus asked and Chronicler shook his head.

It's hard to tell Ignitus. Each species is different with this. For us dragons it could mean the charm of illusion, but for a mole it could be the charm of strength."

"So there's no way of telling." Everyone looked at Chronicler.

"No, there isn't."

"What if we break the charm?" Cyrll asked but looked down when Chronicler shook his head.

"We do not know of which charm it is, and if we try and break the wrong one, we may kill him." Everyone at this point was thinking, just how were they going to know what charm it was, and how to break it. Finally, after an hour they all gave up.

"There's got to be someway." Aaron responded when he notice the others giving up.

"I do not see of a way young one. The only one who would know is the caster." This made Ignitus and Cyrll look at each other for a moment.

"And that someone might be Malefor." Both of them replied.

"It can't be. I would have notice if he was the one who charmed him." Chronicler replied.

"Well I know how important it is but we should head back to the temple. The others must be worried." Cyrll pointed out.

"We should be heading back. Thank you Chronicler for all you have told us, this will surely help us." Chronicler nodded as he lead Ignitus, Cyrll, and Aaron towards the giant hour glass in the middle of the room.

"You can leave through here if you want." Chronicler pointed towards the hour glass as it slowly disappeared to be replaced by a picture of the Temple." Though you will have to fly from a distance. I don't want any enemies seeing the portal and have a chance to get through it at the temple." The elders nodded as Aaron jumped on Cyrll's back.

"We understand, and thank you Chronicler." Chronicler nodded at Aaron's reply ands watched as all three of them jumped through the portal.

They reappeared out of the other side of the portal and immediately started to fly towards the temple. It wasn't too long a flight as they flew over the balcony. Aaron looked over Cyrll's back and saw the balcony, but to his surprise; he also saw Spyro and Cynder sitting together. He tried to wave down to them but they paid no attention to him. When he saw this he tried to look closer and saw both of their head slowly moving closer together, and he knew what was going to happen. He tried to lean down to get a better look but his hand slipped from one of Cyrll's spine and he came plummeting down towards the balcony. He started to scream and this caught everyone off guard as they all looked towards him. He desperately tried to do anything to save him but he could find nothing to save him, and he was pretty sure Ignitus and Cyrll weren't fast enough to catch him and that Cynder and Spyro wouldn't be strong enough to slow him down without crashing with him. All he could do was stare straight down and watch as the ground grew closer and closer. When he was about ten feet from the ground, something took over him as he made a little ring with his hands, take a big breath, and blow. The next thing any of them noticed was a big ice ramp sloping down at the right angle that it would catch Aaron and slid him into safety. The only thing they didn't notice was that the ice ramp was not going to slide him into safety, but slid him into the wall. The next thing they Spyro and Cynder notice was Ignitus and Cyrll disappearing over the temple, and a big huge bang sound coming from Spyro's room. They both turned around to see Aaron against the wall, holding onto his right arm and he rolled around in pain. Both Spyro and Cynder ran towards him, completely ignoring the ice ramp, and helped him sit up off the floor.

"Aaron, are you ok!?" Spyro asked while Cynder looked back outside towards the ice ramp.

"No, I smashed my right arm into the wall." Aaron replied as he continued to hold onto his arm.

"Better then being splattered again the balcony floor." Cynder responded while Aaron nodded.

"Yeah I know. If it wasn't for Spyro" Spyro cut Aaron off.

‘Wait, I didn't do that." Both Aaron and Cynder looked at him.

"Well it must have been Cyrll then." Cynder remarked and both Aaron and Spyro nodded. Just then all four elders came rushing in.

"Aaron, Aare you ok?!" Ignitus yelled as he came rushing through the doors.

"Yeah I'm fine, just smashed my arm into the wall."

"Thank the ancestors, when I saw that ice ramp Spyro shot up I knew you would" Aaron quickly cut him off by lifting his hand.

"Hold on. You mean you didn't use your ice ability to put that ice ramp up?!" Cyrll only shook his head.

"No, from my point of view I would have surely hit you and that would have made things worse. I'm positive that Spyro was the one who put the ramp up." All of the Elders looked towards Spyro to see him shake his head.

"I didn't. I don't think I would have been able to." They all looked at each other with a puzzled look while Ignitus went out on the balcony and melted the ice ramp.

"If it wasn't Spyro or Cyrll, then who?" Cynder asked and they all shrugged.

"The only ones I can think of is either the other Purple dragon Malefor, or somehow Aaron himself." Everyone looked towards Aaron who was shacking his head.

"It can't be. I'm a human and humans can't control the elements like dragons can, and don't you think if I was able to control ice I would remember doing that a few minutes ago" Everyone went quiet for a minute while ideas and thoughts ran through their heads. They kept going through possible answers but none of the seemed to fit into the situation.

"Well I give up." Aaron said and everyone agreed with him.

"Well I bet we will find the answer tomorrow after some well needed rest." Everyone agreed with Volteer's suggestion as well.

The Elders left leaving Spyro, Cynder, and Aaron alone in Spyro's room and a memory hit Aaron making him grin as he looked towards Spyro and Cynder.

"I saw what you two were doing." They both looked at him with blushes on their faces.

"Well were we just sitting down, talking, waiting for you and the others to get back in till you came plummeting down." Cynder responded quickly.

"Oh no. There was more going on." They blush even more as they knew he saw them before he fell.

"What did you see exactly?" Spyro asked.

"You two were about to kiss." They looked towards each other and quickly turned away while blushing furiously.

"We were not!" They both said.

"Yes you were!" Aaron quickly replied back. This argument went on and on as they kept saying the same thing back to each other in till Cynder finally gave up.

"I'm going to bed before we argue the night away." Aaron laughed as he knew he won the fight, at least against Cynder but there was still Spyro.

"Come on admit it. You two were about to kiss her." He only nodded and this surprised Aaron.

"I was, but I was really nervous and I didn't know what was going to happen. We're we really about this kiss?" This only shock Aaron.

"Well from my point of view, yes." Spyro only blushed."You need to try and kiss her again."

"I don't think I can." Again Spyro's response shocked Aaron.

"Why do you say that?" Aaron asked and Spyro looked away this time then down at the floor.

"I'm nervous."

"About?"

"All the things that could go wrong. I do something wrong during the kiss, I say something wrong, or I just..."

"Just what Spyro." Spyro looked towards him with tears in his eyes.

"Or I just somehow ruin our friendship." He looked down and Aaron could see the tears fall off his face and fall onto the ground.

"Spyro, if anything thing is to happen is that this will strengthen it. I know Cynder wants to do it too, but I bet she feel the same way about what could go wrong." Spyro looked up at Aaron with a small smile.

"Are you sure?" Aaron nodded.

"Positive!" Spyro started to smile more but then a thought hit him making him look back down.

"But what is I do something wrong?" This made Aaron think. He had never had a girlfriend to his knowledge but even if he somehow did he wouldn't be able to remember her or any of the times he may have kissed her.

"I'm sure everything will be ok if you play it cool. Just relax and I bet the next time will be better."

"I don't think there will be a next time in till everything is settled out, because the elders will be training out none stop and that won't give me or Cynder any free time." Aaron only smiled.

"You really want this to happen don't you?"

"Yes. There's a feeling that I can't explain that I feel for her and the only way I think I can express it is with a kiss." This made Aaron smile more.

"That's love, and a kiss is a great way to express it."

"Oh, but still in till me and Cynder can somehow have free time I don't see it happening in till after Malefor is killed."

"Unless I can help."

"But how?" Spyro looked at Aaron as a wicked grin spread across his face.

"We'll talk about this tomorrow, for now let's get some sleep."

"No please Aaron, tell me!" Aaron only shook his head.

"Let me sleep on it ok. I promise you I will think of a way or that at least you will." Aaron turned towards the balcony and walked off leaving Spyro alone to think to himself. It wasn't long before Spyro himself climbed into his bead and fell straight to sleep; only leaving Aaron wide awake as he kept on building his plan. Yet he was only going to reveal it...in time.
