Cynder laughed behind them

Spyro chuckled "She's excited"

"Her mother has always interested her. In the same way and for the same reasons as you are interested in your father." Michael replied

Spyro nodded "I understand why they are so hateful towards regular dragons, but why restrict their children from mating with them."

"They consider themselves pure beings, and want to remain pure"

"That's odd"

"It really is, but there is nothing I can do to change their minds. They were horrified to learn I had raised Silver and claimed her as my daughter. They were a lot worse when they had found out she had mated to a purple dragon." Michael chuckled "Like mother like daughter"

Spyro blushed "What about me?"

"They will be angry, very angry. But you are under my protection, as was silver. Now I don't say this because it's a bit weird, but you are my grandchildren. Since you share no genes, it just makes it weird, but both of your mothers bared the mark of my name, and the gifts that came with it."

"They were sisters"

"They were raised together, so yeah, they called each other sisters."

"You once said they kind of hoped that we would be together."

"They did, because that's what they hoped. They knew they couldn't force something like that."

"Oh, so that was something between four best friends?"

"Yeah, it's just a hope that most parents have occasionally."

The road had led them into a forest, Michael walked up to a tree, then tapped on it with his claw. It opened with a loud crack, exposing a hidden portal.

"You have no idea how long it took me to find this." Michael chuckled

They walked through the portal into a different wood, with a different path. They kept walking.

"So why did they move all the way out here? Why not just isolate themselves in a special part of the city?"

"Because they want peace, uninterrupted peace for a massive collection of powerful dragons is impossible. They, you, attract danger at least once in your life."

Eventually they reached a large gate, it was closed and locked tightly. Michael knocked on the door, and Cynder gasped as a dragon statue started moving and changed into a scaled black dragoness.

"You have returned, you shouldn't have." The dragoness spoke

"Hello Guardian, you knew I would be returning. You knew I would not stop this time." Michael told her

"You will not enter here" The Guardian replied

"Are you sure? I am the rarest of you all."

"This has never mattered"

"Either you will let us in, or I will knock the gates down."

"Us" She looked at the rest of them, then gasped as her eyes fell on Cynder. "Sarah? But no, that's not possible. Could it be, are you Silver?"

Cynder looked stunned "No, I'm her daughter"

"Has it been so long?" The Guardian sighed.

"Yes" Michael answered "You will let us in"

"I will let one of you in."

Nebula stepped into view. The Guardian gasped again

"You, you are a star dragon."

"Yep, and you will let all of us in." Nebula replied

The Guardian looked between the powerful god, the purple dragon, and the black dragoness. Then they could hear a bell ring once from inside the village. The door opened and an elder dragon stepped through.

"What is it" He said, and froze when he saw the group. He noticed Cynder, and his jaw dropped. "You"

"Not Silver, her daughter." The Guardian told him.

"And she is with, not only Michael, but a purple dragon as well, and a star dragon, and two normal dragons?" The elder looked around the group

"Yep, and he is demanding entrance." The Guardian sighed "They will enter, with or without your permission.

The elder sighed "Then do come in"

The group walked into the village, and Cynder gasped as over a hundred black dragons looked back at her. There were also a few star dragons, and a few moon dragons as well. They all stared at her, and whispered with one another. Cynder hung next to Spyro, and the group walked to the center of the village. There was a large building with a photo of a black dragon on it. Two old black dragons excited, and gasped at Cynder.

"Are you our granddaughter?" The male one asked

"Great granddaughter. Hi, I'm Cynder" She answered

The female gasped "Hi there, I'm Nara, and this is Vox, we are Sarah's parents."

"And you look a lot like her." Vox told her

"Is she here?" Michael asked

"She is, but she has petrified herself" He answered

"Where is she?" Michael replied

"Behind you"

Cynder gasped and stared at the statue behind them, she walked up to it and stared at it intently.

"Just tap it, and she will wake, being her descendant." Nara told her

Cynder reached out and delicately touched the statue. It exploded, sending small bits of rocks flying. Sarah shook herself off and stepped down from the pedestal. She growled at her parents, baring all of her fangs.

"How did you" She froze, looking over at Cynder

"Silver?" She asked

"Nope, sorry, I'm her daughter, Cynder."

Sarah looked stunned, then shook her head, she leapt forward and started nuzzling Cynder. She kept going, despite Cynder's fierce blushing. After a couple of minutes, Sarah stepped back, and turned to Michael.

"You did it." She said "Where is Silver?"

Michael sighed "Her mate got corrupted, and he used a spell that removed their souls from their bodies and trapped them, we are trying to bring them back."

Sarah looked down "I guess that couldn't have been stopped."

"I tried, but the king of elemental dragons sent me away." Michael replied

She perked back up "But you're here now!"

"Yeah, it only took me bringing your granddaughter, a star dragon, and a purple dragon." Michael chuckled

"Oh right, Vox, Nara, Sarah, meet Spyro, my mate." Cynder introduced them

"YOUR MATE?" Vox yelled "HOW DARE YOU COME HERE BONDED WITH HIM?"

Nara shook her head "You bring more shame to your family."

Sarah growled "You will leave her alone."

"Speaking of mates, Sarah, we found Carl, you can leave here." Michael told her

Shock rippled through Sarah, she looked stunned at Michael, and saw the truth in his eyes. She burst into tears.

"Where is he?" She cried

Michael snapped his claws, and a portal opened behind them. Sarah watched with tears in her eyes as a blue dragon stepped through it. She darted towards him and grabbed him he gasped and kissed her. Vox and Nara were scowling.

"How dare you bring not one, but two violations here." Vox growled.

"I'm looking for Onyx, you will tell me where he is, and if he isn't here, we will leave, ALL of us." Michael ordered

"No, Sarah will stay, and Cynder will too." Nara growled as well.

Sarah and Carl ignored the growling dragons, and turned their attention to Cynder.

"Carl, meet Cynder, our granddaughter." Sarah said to him

Carl gasped, and together they started nuzzling Cynder. She mumbled and shied but they kept their affection. Spyro was standing nearby when Sarah turned to him.

"And her mate, Spyro." She grabbed him and pulled him into the huddle.

The four nuzzled each other for a while, then seperated.

"I'm very glad to meet you Cynder." Carl told her. "Welcome to the family Spyro."

Michael walked up to them. "Sarah, it's time to unbind you. Trice, I need you to go look for the void dragon. It seems like Vox and Nara aren't going to be helpful. Flame, Ember, go with her."

Sarah walked up to Michael and lifted her head to expose a strange necklace.

"You can not break the binding" Vox growled

"Yes, I can, I am an ethereal god." Michael replied

Michael brought his tailblade to her necklace, and sliced through it, the parts fell to the ground with a clatter. The two elders gasped, and shrank back.

"But, that's not possible." Nara exclaimed.

Sarah grabbed Cynder and pulled her to the edge of the center. All of the dragons had formed just outside the entrance.

"Hi everyone" Sarah spoke to them.

They all cheered, clearly happy to see her.

"Everyone, meet my granddaughter, Cynder, and her mate, Spyro"

More cheers

Cynder shied away "Hi... Hello"

"So many introductions" Spyro whispered in her ear

She nodded, looking at the crowd. Michael walked up to them, and looked out at the crowd.

"Society is no longer what it once was. Black dragons, star dragons, and moon dragons live freely and without discrimination throughout all ML territories. You no longer have to stay isolated here." He shouted

"So, Cynder isn't hated?" A dragon called back

"Cynder was corrupted, she is hated on one planet because of the acts she did while under the control of another." Michael admitted

Sarah gasped "With Silver trapped, and Michael petrified, who did this to you."

"Malefor, my father, who was also corrupted." Cynder whispered

"Your father?" Sarah recoiled "Corruption can cause very evil things."

"He was a purple dragon" Cynder added

Sarah glanced at Spyro, who was talking with a group of young dragons.

"He saved me" Cynder told her "He cured me of my corruption and defeated Malefor"

Sarah smiled "I cannot judge, I mated with someone that I wasn't supposed too. So did your mother apparently, and they do not approve of you and him." She motioned to Vox and Nara

"Well, they can't do anything about it." Cynder replied

"They can try." Sarah sighed

"He's the king of elemental dragons, I'm the queen" Cynder smirked

Sarah's eyes went wide "That changes things."

Vox and Nara walked up to Michael.

"We are not done talking." Vox stated

"Really? I thought we got the point across." Michael replied

Michael motioned for the rest of the group to follow, and they walked back to the front of the big building.

"First, it is in our laws that the descendants of the great family must remain here. Second, our laws also decree that any dragon not of the village must leave." Nara told them

"So, everybody except for Cynder and Nebula are required to leave immediately. Cynder must stay, but Nebula holds the right to leave if she wishes." Vox added

Spyro laughed "You think I would leave here without my mate. HA, that's not happening."

Michael looked at the two elders. "You stand before the king of the ML and the king of elemental dragons. You are trying to bind the queen of elemental dragons without her permission. I choose to let Sarah remain here until I could find her descendant, or her mate. Now after we have searched the village, we all will leave."

Michael sighed "I should have just smashed and grabbed, a quick break in, have Cynder wake Sarah, unbind her, search the village, and poof, gone without anybody realizing. My respect of your family inclined me to let you meet your descendant, but I regret it now."

"Your code dictates that you will follow our laws. Sarah, Silver, and Cynder have violated our laws by mating without the approval of the head of the family, and are required to remain here as punishment. We will let her mate return once a decade in hopes of a clutch." Vox replied

"I will not leave here without Cynder!" Spyro shouted

"Hush, you have no say here, you waste of purple scales" Vox hissed

"Hey!" Cynder yelled "You will not speak to him in this way."

Spyro stepped in front of Cynder, his head was low and he was baring his teeth.

"Be warned, purple, if you attack us, we will not hesitate to kill you." Vox growled

Spyro smiled maliciously "How do you know it is not I that will kill you"

Spyro's eyes flashed as he charged his fire element.

Nara nudged Vox "We shall not fight him; it is unbecoming to fight such trash."

Vox lifted his head and sighed "You're right."

"Purple, you will not speak to us, you will not talk, nor involve yourself in matters that do not apply to you." Nara turned to him

"You address a king; I will talk when and where I want." Spyro replied, exciting his battle stance.

"Your kingship does not apply to us." Vox snorted "We do not acknowledge you."

Cynder stepped back, and Sarah walked up next to her.

"You will not hold us here any longer, we possess our right to leave." She stated

"You have no rights until you become head of the family." Nara sighed "Three generations ruined."

"Michael, you are hereby ordered to leave, take your daughter, and this trash, with you." Vox demanded

Michael laughed "Now it's my turn"

He walked up to the elders; his eyes turned from blue to black as he charged his eldritch magic.

"You have no ability to stop me, I am more powerful than the useless spells you cast on the village, I am giving all of it's people one chance to leave with me. EVERYBODY WILL BE GIVEN A CHOICE. People may leave as they wish and any attempt to stop me will be considered an attack, and will be treated accordingly." Michael roared

The two dragons looked unfazed "Your eldritch magic has no affect on us." Nara spoke

Michael's eyes flashed red for a second, then he laughed "You think I was trying."

He stopped laughing abruptly, and stared at the dragons. Suddenly, they had fear in their eyes. Michael kept boring down on them, and their legs started shaking, their wings shuddered. Michael's eyes continued to stare hard at the two black elders. After a few minutes, the two dragons collapsed, unconscious. Michael returned to his ethereal state, and looked around. Cynder, Spyro and Sarah stared frozen at Michael, stunned.

"Your magic can affect black dragons?" Sarah asked

"It can affect eldritch dragons; nothing can stop raw power." Michael replied

Michael turned and walked towards the crowd.

"Your elders have kept your own people trapped here because of who they chose to mate, we will no longer allow such separations to continue. The willful separation of mates is a violation of the Moral Code, and if it continues, I will be forced to take control of the territory, and remove all people from this village. I am giving you one chance, right now, to leave. You will receive travel to the capital of this planet, and you can choose your path from there. You may also choose to take a portal to Faun, as I will open one. You have two weeks before I depart. Also, if any of you have any information about the whereabouts of the void dragon, we would appreciate your assistance. Once again, in two weeks I will leave, and anyone wishing to come with me will be protected. Pack your things and be ready for departure, I will not wait for you."

The crowd gasped and murmured to each other. Another dragon called out.

"What if we want to stay?"

"That's fine, it is your choice." Michael replied

The crowd murmured more.

"Oh, and if you want to talk to Cynder or Spyro during this time, they will be staying here as well." Michael added

The crowd nodded and dispersed; they went back to what they had been doing. A couple of dragons the same age as Spyro and Cynder approached them.

"Your Sarah's granddaughter?" One of them asked "It's nice to meet you, I'm Star, this is Mark, Daria, and Liam."

Cynder nodded "Hi"

"What's it like at that city, what was it? Faun!" Liam asked

"It's great, it's a massive city with thousands of dragons living in it. It's broken into sections called districts, and there are all kinds of dragons." Cynder answered

"Is what Michael said true? Are black dragons free?" Star replied

"As free and equal as every other dragon." Cynder told them

"And you're not attacked by countless crowds and asked to do tons of stuff with your powers?" Mark asked shyly

"Well, were crowned, so we are usually mobbed with fans and reporters, but that won't happen to you, unless your royalty." Cynder responded

"Well, I am royalty, so I should stay right?" Star lowered her head

"I'm not saying that, it just means you would stay in the royal district." Cynder told her

Star looked up at her. "My parents died a few years ago, I only have these three here."

"I'm sorry" Cynder replied

"Don't be, you never got to meet your parents. I'm sorry for bringing it up." She perked up. "Maybe we can all leave and forget about this place."

"Nope" Mark replied shyly "My parents would never let me."

"You get your choice." Cynder told him

"I know, but my parents will try to stop me if I leave." Mark looked down "Just go without me, I'll stay."

"We can help you" Spyro offered

"No, I don't want to cause any trouble." Mark stepped back.

"How will we live in Faun; we won't have anywhere to sleep." Daria asked

"Michael can get you housing, and jobs." Spyro answered

The six dragons talked for a while, then the sun fell, and they went to their homes, Spyro and Cynder followed Michael to an old abandoned house and settled in for the night.
