1Year after the defeat of the Dark Master...
Cynder woke up in a small but cozy cave somewhere in the middle of the mushroom forest. Cynder got up with a yawn as she slowly stretched her legs and back. She watched Spyro as he still lie there in an apparent dream as he slowly swished his tail back and forth with a smile on his face. Cynder giggled and turned to go out of the cave to go and find something for them to eat for breakfast.
As Cynder flew for a while enjoying the morning air on under her wings. She spotted some large schools of fish swimming in the river below. She timed her dive just right and just as she was about to go in for the kill a purple blur tackled her in midair and sent her flying into to river. When she re-surfaced she saw Spyro hovering over the water with a silly grin on his face and began to laugh.
"So", he said, "decided to go off hunting without me again I see".
Cynder could do nothing but laugh as she said,"well maybe if you didn't sleep so much I wouldn't have to go hunting for the both of us".
With that Spyro tackled her back into the water. They wrestled until they needed air. As they went back to the surface that school of fish that Cynder spotted earlier swam by. Both Spyro and Cynder looked at each other and gave each other a competitive grin. And just like that they bolted off after the school hoping to catch a big one.
Meanwhile back at the Dragon Temple....
"It has been one year to date since the world was on the brink of utter destruction", said Cyril the Ice Guardian. "and it has been one year since we have seen or heard from Spyro or Cynder and you are telling me that they are alive!?"
"They must be", said Ignitis the once fire guardian and now Chronicler. "If they were dead it would have shown in their books, but there is nothing, so the only logical explanation it that they are alive and still out there somewhere"
. "But where would they be?", said Terrador the Earth Guardian. "If they were alive they would have come back to the temple".
"Maybe they just wanted a vacation", said Sparx the Dragonfly. "I know fighting baddies has worn me down".
The two dragons looked at one another and rolled their eyes but then Ignitis butted in, "maybe Sparx is right" he said. "I am?!", said Sparx, "uh, uh, I mean of course I am".
But Cyril said, "That's all well and good but why wouldn't they inform us of their well being". "That I cannot say for certain", said Ignitis," but I do know that nothing says that they are dead, so they must be out there...somewhere...."
Back over to Spyro and Cynder...
After a quick hunt the two dragons ate their catch and headed back for the cave to take a nap. After about an hour or so Spyro awoke and decided to stretch his wings a bit.
As he flew around he started to think about Ignitis and the other Guardians. He often felt that he should go back to the temple with Cynder, it had been a whole year after all, but for some unknown reason he had decided against it. For some reason all he wanted to do was stick around Cynder. He couldn't explain it if he tried, but he just didn't want to be with anyone but her. And on top of his confusion he found it hard to speak with her at times. He wanted to be with her and yet he didn't know what to do when he was. "Maybe it was time to go back to the temple" Spyro thought to him self. And with that he flew back to the cave to find Cynder still sleeping.
He nudged her with his paw. She stirred a bit and finally sat up.
"What's up?" she said rubbing her eyes.
"Well", said Spyro, "I've been thinking, and I decided that we should probably go back to the temple soon."
Cynder was a bit surprised but not too surprised for she knew that one of these days he would want to go back to the temple.
"Why?" she said.
"It has been a year since the fall of the Dark Master, and for all our friends know we could be dead." Said Spyro, "that and I have some questions that need answering." Well, thought Cynder, maybe it is time to get back.
"Okay" Said Cynder "we should be heading back after all this time."
Secretly she didn't want this time to end for she adored Spyro. The alone time was like being in heaven to her, but she noticed that sometimes she just can't speak to him. It was like someone was tying up her stomach in knots. Although he didn't know what was happening, she knew that she wanted to be with him, and maybe this was the perfect chance to figure out what was going on with her.
So they decided to set off in the morning for the dragon temple. Little did they know that not all was the same at the temple. Things have changed since a year ago and there are some new people that will play a big part of a very special home coming.
