Chapter 3 back to Warfang
"How?..... How?..... How could you do this to me?!"
"after everything we went trough together!"
"you didn't really believed that promise did you?"
"I can't believe you would betray me, you monster!"
"I didn't betray you."
"I never really meant it to begin with"
"I... I.... I... I don't believe that!"
"well I don't care if you believe it or not it's time to get down to business"
"NO Please I beg you Please Don't!"
"NOOOO!"
Cynder shot up from her dream panting heavily.
She looked beside her and saw Spyro twitching a little in his sleep from her sudden movement.
"Wow that was some nightmare" she thought.
The voice that she heard in her dream somehow sounded vaguely familiar to her but she could place it.
"It was probably just a bad dream because of all the trouble we have been through" she thought. "I should just forget about it"
Because of the nightmare she was ready and awake so she decided not to try a feeble attempt to get back to sleep again and go for a flight.
As she exited the cave, she felt the warmth of the rising sun against black scales
She took a deep breath of the fresh air before taking to the skies
She flew besides the face of the cliff where they slept so she couldn't get lost.
she doubted she could even get lost in her own home but she just wanted to make sure she would get back before Spyro woke up.
After having flown besides the face of the cliff for about 15 minutes she decided to fly back and wait for Spyro to wake up
As she slowly flew back to the cave something on a ledge caught her eye.
It was a large flower with large red petals, a blue stalk and green sepals
"isn't that a pruritus flower" she remembered reading about it in a book once during her short spending at the dragon temple
Suddenly a mischievous thought arose to her.
She carefully plucked the flower and gently carried it back to the cave
As gently and silently as she could she landed in the cave without waking Spyro up or more importantly, without shaking the flower she held in her left paw
She snuck up to Spyro until she was about a meter away from him
Making sure she always pointed it forward she tapped with the flower in the air towards Spyro, realising a cloud of tiny pollen in the sky which quickly dwindled down on the mighty purple dragon.
Spyro cried out and his eyes shot open as he felt an terrible itching al over his body.
Cynder fell on her back laughing as she watched him scratching every single part of his body.
After the Itching disappeared he turned to Cynder with an angry look on his face
"Cynder!" Spyro exclaimed "What did you do?"
"I pollinated you with the pollen from a pruritus flower" Cynder answered wiping the tears from her eyes
"I have read that they itched like hell and I just wanted to investigate just how much" Cynder said with a large smirk on her face
"Why you little-" Spyro smirked and longed at her and the two wrestled for a good twenty minutes
"I promise get you back for that stunt Cynder." Spyro said after they had stopped wrestling
"Oh I'm sure you will" Cynder said with a very sarcastic tone in her voice.
"Just you wait and see" he said with a fake ominous tone
After they had plucked a few berries and Cynder had caught a rabbit they settled down for a good breakfast.
When they had finished eating their meal they started to continue on their journey back towards Warfang.
After just a few hours of flying they saw the great walls of the dragon city.
"well here we are" said Cynder
"yeah are you ready?" asked Spyro
"Well you are about to find out" Cynder replied
They flew closer to the walls and made eye contact with the sentry on watch duty.
The sentry gasped at the sight of the two hero's and quickly rushed back to his command post to inform his chief
"Celsus! Celsus" the mole said panting
"what is it Renord?" the chief asked wondering why the mole was so excited
The chief was a medium sized fire dragon of around middle age. He had large black spikes down his back and a couple orange decoration across his body.
"They are here! They have returned" Renord shouted barely able to contain his excitement
"Are you talking about the great heroes!" Celsus asked also starting to get excited
"yes they are at the gates!" Renord replied
"well go and let them in" Celsus ordered
"I will inform the Guardians about their arrival"
With that Celsus shot out of the room and flew as fast as he could towards the dragon citadel to inform the Guardians.
Meanwhile. Spyro and Cynder where waiting patiently at the gates.
After a few minutes the gates opened.
Spyro and Cynder where overwhelmed by a crowd of hundreds of moles, cheetahs' and dragons.
They had to wrestle a way through the crowd while shaking so many paws that they had trouble keeping there balance
They were very relived to see the three remaining Guardians appearing and toning down the crowd.
Cynder took a deep breath, happy being able to breath again.
"I see you have returned" Terrador said with a calm but clearly happy tone
"of course we have" Spyro said while pushing away a overexcited mole with his wing.
"Maybe we should get inside it is a bit noisy hear if you ask me" Cyril suggested with his normal arrogant tone.
"Good idea" Cynder said desperate to get out of the crowd
After the guardian managed to free the two young dragons from there screaming fans they began walking towards the citadel
"Spyro! You're alive!" a voice shouted
Spyro looked and saw his glowing foster brother speeding towards him
"Sparx I'm glad to see you again"
Sparx was so excited however that he didn't stop and smacked against Spyro's nose and fell on the ground
"Sparx, you okay?" Spyro asked as he looked down on his brother
"urg yeah I'm okay" Sparx groaned as he got back up in the air
"It's good to see you again Spyro" he said when he was back up
"I did promise you that I would look after him didn't I" Cynder reminded him
"you sure did Cynder" Sparx said in a soft tone "Thank you for that"
"um no problem" Cynder said a bit surprised by his kind words
"but don't think that I won't keep an eye on you!" Sparx said sharply pointing a punishing finger towards her
"Maybe you could continue your discussion when we reach the dragon citadel" Cyril commented with a suggestive look on his face.
After the five dragons had entered the citadel that they started walking towards the main hall.
The dragon citadel was a tall building made out of brown/yellow stones just like the rest of the city it was heavily decorated with many statues and gargoyles it also had thick walls, small walls and many other obstacles to allow it to function as a shelter during a battle.
The inside of the Citadel was almost stunning, it was lushly decorated with mosaic in many shapes and had many refined architectures including milled pillars, painted ceiling and decorated windows
"wow this place is beautiful" Cynder thought; careful not to say it out loud. She was glad that they were able to defeat the golem so that it couldn't have destroyed this breath taking place
The main hall was a very simple room compared with the rest of the building.
It was a great round chamber with a beige ceiling and a yellow/orange checkered stone floor. Unlike the rest of the building it didn't have any decorations
When they had settled down Spyro and Cynder started to tell the guardians about what had happened with the dark master, about Ignitus and about the mysterious black dragoness
When they were finished everyone was silent for a few moments
"I see" Terrador said breaking the silence
"He did already tell me he wouldn't return"
"But it's still a great loss for all of us"
He didn't mention his name but it was obvious he was talking about Ignitus
"It was war Terrador" Cyril spoke
"you of al dragon's should know that war is just a synonym for murder and destruction"
"you are right about that Cyril" said Terrador
"but what impresses me the most the most is what Spyro did" Volteer said hoping to break the negative atmosphere
"With such a young body and a limited electrification, geographical and thermal energy he managed to defeat the worst enemy that has ever walked this earth"
Cyril slapped Volteer with his tail annoyed by his long sentence and difficult words
"well I managed to do it because I wasn't alone" Spyro said smiling at Cynder
"we did it together" Cynder said as if she could read Spyro's mind
"indeed you did" Terrador said
"but what's even more unbelievable is that Spyro managed to save and restore the entire planet without any instruction or lesson" Volteer said
Cyril once tried to slap Volteer but Volteer blocked it with his tail
"You didn't really believe I would allow you spank me twice now did you daddy?" Volteer said with his most childlike and innocent tone
Cyril looked away a bit embarrassed by Volteers hatchling like response but Volteer didn't seem embarrassed at all
Cynder, Sparx and Spyro suppressed a laugh and Cynder noticed that Terrador did as well
"anyway" Cyril said after regaining his posture
"what about that mysterious black dragoness?"
"I don't know who she was or why she reacted pretty fierce" Spyro said
"Or why she looks so much like my evil form?" Cynder added
"It is all very strange indeed" Terrador said
"your evil form was a creation of evil and wasn't natural."
"wait a second!" Cynder exclaimed
"are you saying that my evil form isn't my natural adult form?" Cynder asked with a look of hope on her face
"It was artificially created by Malafor but it seemed to have had a lasting impact on you so I can't be sure" Terrador anwered
Cynder didn't know what to make of it but she decided it actually didn't really matter
"but if Cynders evil form was not natural how can there be another one?" Sparx pointed out
"Does it mean Malafor could have created even more evil black dragons other then just that mysterious dragoness and Cynder?"
Cynder, Spyro and the guardians were horrified by the thought of what Sparx just brought up
"hey I'm just connecting the dots here" Sparx said nervously after seeing everyone's dreadful faces
"But if she was created to fight for him them why was she battling those wyvern" Cynder pointed out when they had recovered from the shocking thought.
Theories and arguments about the mysterious black dragoness went back and forth in the chamber until Terrador called it quits
"I see we are not going to figure out who that dragoness is so it is pointless to discuss it even more until we have more information"
"I argee with you Terrador and besides, we have also other matters to attend to" Volteer said doing his best not to use surplus words.
"indeed we have" said Cyril looking smiling this time at Volteer
"like what? didn't we win?" Sparx asked
"young Sparx, the dark master's army was an army of billions. There are likely thousands if not millions of his soldiers still alive and the army is still a very real threat" Terrador explained as if he was lecturing a child
"so you are saying that there will be more fighting?" asked Spyro catching everyone by surprise
"well yes of course there will" Terrador said a bit surprised by Spyro's ignorant question
"I just had hoped that we could live in peace and wouldn't have to fight all the time"
"young dragon war is not something that's fought and won" Terrador began now understanding the purple dragon's question
"A war starts because of the hatred different creatures feel for each other"
"And even after it ends the winner won't have peace in their lifetime" Volteer ended knowing the speech by hearth
"but the dark army has retreated underground and we can't get to them" Cyril said with an aggravated look.
"well if we can't get to them then it's no use worrying about it" Sparx said with a cheerful voice.
The dragons gave Sparx an annoyed look but Terrador stepped in
"the dragonfly has a very good point there"
"he has?" asked Cynder
"I have" asked Sparx just as surprised
"yes it makes no sense to worry about it now. Now is the time to celebrate our victory over the dark master"
With that the dragons ended their talk. Terrador weaved to the young dragons to follow him as he led them towards the room the guardians had prepared for them
"this is where you will sleep" Terrador said pointing towards a large wooden door with a low doorknob to allow the quadrupedal dragons to use iteasily
After opening the door Spyro and Cynder walked into their new room
It was a medium sized room with a dark green floor and with light green walls. On the other side of the room was a pile of straw covered by a sheet that served as a bed (the guardians knew Spyro and Cynder didn't have a thing for luxury). The bed was against a large window that folded into itself and had a balcony, it was clearly meant as an aerial entrance. On one side was a large bookcase stacked with all kinds of thick books for study. On the other side was a large box for personal possessions and beside it was a storage shelf with a lot of items on it.
"what are those things? and what are they for?" Spyro asked Terrador pointing at the items on the shelf
"those are your toys to play with of course" he said suppressing a laugh
"Toys! We are not hatchlings!" Cynder exclaimed
"We will see about that in due time" Terrador said with a smirk
After Terrador left, Spyro and Cynder put the armour they collected on their journey in the box and settled down on their bed; tired from the busy day.
"why do you think they gave us those toys?" Cynder asked Spyro trying not to bring about a serious topic
"I don't know, they did treat us as adults during our talk in the main hall I also don't get it" Spyro replied just as puzzled but clearly not offended like Cynder
"well when we put you next to those guardians you are hatchling's" Sparx said
"Good point there Sparx" Spyro said.
"wow! That's the third time in one day, a new record!" Cynder said with a large smirk on her face
"hey! There have been days I have made more then three good points" Sparx shouted
"Sure? Cause I surely can't think of one" Spyro said taking adventage of Sparx very untactful response
Sparx noticed that Spyro and Cynder were very tired so he let the insult go by
Spyro and Cynder laid down and got to sleep they where soon joined by Sparx who laid down and secured himself between Spyro's back spikes
This time Cynder didn't have any nightmares she just dreamed about a wonderful new day in the dragon city with her beloved purple dragon
