3 years after Dawn of the Dragon- New Year of the Dragon (Kinda like our New Year's Day)
Spyro and Cynder are about to celebrate the 32nd Year of the Dragon. Spyro has been made Fire Guardian due to Ignitus's death. Terrador is the leader of the guardians, due to age restrictions. Spyro and Cynder have been together ever since Malefor's death. The other Guardians know of Ignitus's demise, but no one knows he is the Chronicler. Sparx now has a job in the Dragon City of Warfang, he seeks out the other Guardians when meetings are called. Cynder still feels like its her fault over what happened while Malefor controlled her. Spyro is having very strange dreams about the past that aren't even recorded. Things get even worse on the Eve of the Year of the Dragon. To top things off, remnant Apes controlled by Drome, Gaul's son, are hell-bent on destroying the dragons.
2 days before the 32nd Year of the Dragon.
Sparx is flying through the streets of Warfang with a panicked look on his face early in the morning.
“Come on where is that house?” Sparx whispers to himself. A mole that overhears him points up saying “You know if you want to find it, why don't you just look at the city from the sky, that should help you find it.” Sparx, with a stupid look on his face, follows his advice and flys up.
“Ahhh.....HA there you are!” He says as he points at a high class building. Charging to the building's window, he looks inside. He sees Spyro and Cynder curled up together sound asleep in their bowl-shaped bed. “Oh figures, looks as if I wake them I'm gonna get burned, but if I don't, I'm gonna get smashed by Terrador.” Sparx said, “Well, better 3rd degree burns than to be a red and gold smear on the ground”
Reluctantly, he opens the window and flys inside. The room is very wide, with a few different assortments of ornaments on the walls, as in paintings, and a few scrolls lying on the ground due to Spyro's studying. The walls are a base of tan colored sandstone, in the middle, a large stone bowl about 8 feet in diameter, about 2 feet deep and filled with cushions. In the bowl, two dragons slept peacefully, one black, the other purple. Sparx flys up to the bowl with a reluctant look on his face. “Well, here goes” he said.
Meanwhile in Spyro's dream: All that can be seen is a dark room, with wall-mounted torches on the walls. The room itself seems to have an atmosphere of fear and hate in it. In the middle, you see a creature standing in the middle, the creature stands on two legs, and wears a silver-based armor with black stripes down the side; the creature has no scales, or fur, but skin of a light tan color. He is looking at a particularly shadowed portion of the room with a look of defeat on his face. In the area he is looking you can see a shape of a dragon looking at him, its eyes glowing blood red.
“It seems you are taking more time to create the 'weapons' you have promised me, tell me, does everything you promise take longer than expected.” The shadow said, his voice cold, unloved, as if his very soul was constructed by the demons of the dammed. “If so tell me this, is the reason why is because you are ignorant and cant carry out what he has promised to fulfill, or do you intend to delay what you do only to succeed your own goals, ANSWER ME!” The shadow demands.
The creature in the center flinches at his powerful speech, it is clear he serves this being. “Forgive me my lord, I did not intend to delay, its just the resources I need to create these two creatures are very scarce, and there is also giving them life so they can function correctly...” The creature said “Yes, that was one thing I decided to look into for you, and I think I may have found the solution to that problem.” said the shadowy figure.
The shadowed figure suddenly starts to move his hand, and plants it in the ground. As he raises it back up, a dark crystal rises up from the ground, he breaks a piece of and throws it at the creature in the center.
As the creature caught it, he flinched as a huge wave of power surged over him. “Yes this is exactly what I will need, thank you my lord, I shall repay you, and never fail you again.” He said as he examined the crystal closely.
“Yes, you better not fail me again Rayde, or you will be standing in your afterlife after you finish this task.” The shadowy figure declared.
“Yes, lord Kaze, you shall not be disappointed” said the creature referred to as Rayde. Rayde turns around and leaves the room with a determined look on his face.
“Spyro, wake up........SPYRO!!!!!” Sparx screams in Spyro's face. Spyro wakes up screaming, causing Sparx to scream, causing Cynder to wake up.
“Mmmmh.... whats all the yelling about?” Cydner asked while yawning. “My god Sparx you nearly gave me a heart attack!” Spyro said while trying his best to wake up.
“I could say the same buddy.” Sparx says “But we don't have time, you two have to get to the Elder Chamber, Terrador says its urgent.”
Spyro and Cynder's sleepyness seemed to go away instantly as they heard this news. “Do you know what its for Sparx?” Cynder asked him. “No idea.” Sparx replied. “Some help you are.” Replied Cynder jokingly. “No time for jokes Cynder, we gotta go now.” Spyro explained.
With that, they took off towards the center of the city, where a tall tower stood.
What was with that dream? Spyro thought, I may need to talk to Volteer about he, he seems to be the smart one.


Ch.2 Meeting:
Spyro, Cynder, and Sparx are flying towards the large tower in the middle of Warfang. Spyro is still thinking about that dream he had. Was it just a dream, or is there more too it? Wouldn't be the first time. I have been having the same dream for a few days now. Spyro said in his head.
“Spyro, whats on your mind, you look troubled by something. You didn't have that dream again did you?” Cynder asked with a hint of concern in her voice.
Spyro looked at Cynder and smiled, she could read him like a book. “Yeah, I did.” Spyro said. Cynder immediately replied, “You need to talk to someone about it, I just hope it doesn't affect us right now, I have had enough of fighting.”
Spyro looked at Cynder with a sympathetic look in his eyes, “I know Cynder, I am sick of it too, I just want to settle down with you and have a good life of no more fighting.” Spyro told her. Cynder flew up close to Spyro while flying so they were within a few inches of each other.
Ever since the fight with Malefor, Spyro swore never to fight unless it dangered the worlds very existence.
“You know,” Cynder said to Spyro, “you should talk to Volteer about your dreams, you know how he is, he is pretty much an expert on those things, then again, he's almost an expert on everything.” Cynder explained.
Spyro looks over at Cynder and smiled again. She really can read me like a book. He thought. “The only thing that Volteer cant figure out, is why Cyril thinks the Ice dragons were the best of the Dragon race.” Everyone laughed at this. Teasing the Guardians was one of their favorite pass times. If they said that in front of Cyril, they would get a two hour lecture on the history of the 'Ice Dragons of Yore', a topic thats more boring than watching grass grow.
“I am going to talk to Volteer about it, but not till after all the fuss is about.” Spyro said as they neared the tower. When they landed near the front door, there is a feline guard at the door.
“Ah, there you are, the Guardians are expecting you.” the feline said. Spyro looked at him and said “Thank you, Oak.” the feline referred to as Oak, bowed his head, as they entered the tower.
The inside of the tower consisted of a large spiral staircase running up the side with platforms running around the sides per level. Spyro, Cynder and Sparx all flew too the center level, (there are 3 levels total) where Terrador was waiting for them in front of two large wooden doors. “Good morning Spyro, Cynder, sleep well?” Terrador asked.
“We would have, if we didn't get a portable alarm clock that scares dragons out of their heads.” Cynder said mockingly. Sparx replied, “Yeah, Yeah, just the thanks I get for doing my job.” Spyro shakes his head and says to Sparx, “You know we are just messing with you right? Besides, at least you do your job well.” Terrador seemed to find this amusing and chuckled.
Terrador looked at the group and said, “Alright enough of the morning talk, we need to get down to business, the Elders, and governors are waiting.” Spyro, and Cynder nodded. The Elders are basically profits, and psychics intertwined in the legal system, they also control all Military branches. The governors are the leaders of small settlements and towns outside of Warfang, in this group, Chief Prowless is present, along with other Avalarnian leaders, Mole leaders, and a few others.
Spyro, Cynder, Sparx, and Terrador all enter the Elder Chamber. The inside was massive, a circular room about 40 feet in diameter with a large stone table in the center about 30 feet in diameter. A large Chandelier hanging in the center was the only source of light in the room, windows are not permitted in the Elder chamber due to eavesdroppers. Around the large table, 15 chairs were placed and 5 other cushions to seat the Dragon Guardians.
The other governors, consisted of Prowless of Avalar, Hunter his right hand, along with 2 other subordinates. There was also Devon, of the mole settlement of Fireground, and his 2 subordinates, and finally, to Spyro's surprise, Kane of the Atlawa, and his 2 subordinates. Apparently, the Atlawa tribes flourished over the years due to trade routes going through the Tall Plains.
Terrador looked around the room and said, “Sorry for the delay, now we can get on with this.” as everyone sat down, Spyro looked at the 5 figures in the back. They are the Elders, 2 are moles, 3 are feline. They all wear white cloaks shrouding their faces.
Terrador began, “Guardians, and Governors, we have been called here by the Elders, they will explain why.” Everyone looked in the direction of the Elders.
The Elder in the center, assumed to be the leader, is a feline. “Normally, we wouldn't call a meeting on account of the current situation, but we have encountered something that is very troubling.” The Elder explained
One of the Governors, Devon, apparently angered by this exclaimed, “Well then, what was the point of dragging us here at this dastardly hour, my cities markets aren't even open yet, I could be-” Cyril interrupting him said “Devon, it would be better if you still your tongue, the have not finished explaining yet.” Devon sat back down and waited for an explanation.
One of the Elders said to Cyril, “Thank you Guardian, now as I was saying.” He cleared his throat before continuing. “One of our scout teams haven't reported back to us, but thats not why you are called here, we sent a messenger to see why they haven't given us a report. The messenger is here now, he will explain the rest.” He said as he pointed to a very badly injured mole that no one noticed till now.
The mole had torn clothes, along with may scratches, and his arm in a sling. It is clear he went through a fight that he couldn't win. The mole said, “Well....as I got to the last known area where Scout 17 was at, I arrived to find the whole team brutally killed, as if a decisive war took place.” Everyone in the room, except the Elders, were confused, and shocked by this. Hunter stood anger in his eyes and asked to mole, “Do you know who did this, or did the enemies leave no trace.” Prowless looked at him and asked, “You seem to have a particular interest in the political meeting suddenly, what is it Hunter?”
Hunter looked down, “My younger brother, Archer, is in Scout 17.” He sat back down and said nothing else. Prowless looked at him, put a hand on his shoulder, and said “I'm sorry Hunter.”
The mole answered Hunter, “Yes actually, I did see the ones responsible, because they were waiting for me to arrive.” Everyone was now listening intently, especially Hunter. “The group that attacked Scout 17, was a group of rebel apes.” Kane stood and declared, “How, didn't Malefor curse them all to remain as only spirits?”
One of the Elders, a mole told Kane, “Yes indeed, but since Spyro and Cynder....” gesturing over to the two of them, “defeated Malefor, his spell over them lifted, it seems they want revenge.”
The injured mole continued, “All they told me was this, 'Drome sends his greetings' and then they...” He shivered as he couldn't continue, clutching his injured arm. The lead Elder said to the mole, “thank you, go to the medical wing and receive whatever treatment is necessary, you have earned it.” Everyone waited for the mole to leave before continuing.
The lead Elder said, “It is clear, we need to learn more about this 'Drome' before he can cause any more damage...” Cynder suddenly interrupted him, “I can provide most of your answers on Drome, he is Gaul's son.” Everyone looked at Cynder surprised, “Drome is as skilled as his father in terms of combat, and spellweaving, maybe more powerful, I'm not sure.”
The lead Elder said to Cynder, “Cynder, if you don't mind I would like to talk to you about this personally, we are all tired, and we will call another meeting when more comes up, do you accept?” Cynder looked directly at him, then Spyro as if asking what she should do. Spyro whispered to her, “you should probably answer his questions, not saying I want you away, but the last thing we need is another Gaul running around.” Cynder nodded and said to the Elder, “Yes.”
As the meeting was dismissed, Spyro and Cynder were talking before she had to leave to be questioned.
“I'll meet you back at the house when this is over, OK Cynder.” Spyro said to her passionately. Cynder said to him, “Don't forget, you still need to talk to Volteer about the dream.” Spyro looked at her and said, “Ya, I was just gonna do that.” He kissed her and held her in his arms for a moment. Cynder broke the embrace and said, “well, I should get to the chamber, best not to keep the Elders waiting.” She gave him one last kiss before leaving.
“What would I do without her.” Spyro said under his breath. Spyro then headed off to Volteer's room.

Chapter 3- Questions to Realization
Spyro turned away from the Elder Chamber, and headed to Volteer's room. As he was going there, he spotted Hunter, looking out a window. Spyro decided to try to talk to him, to see if he can make him feel better about his brother's death.
As Spyro flew next to him, Hunter looked at him and said in a depressed tone, “Spyro, how have you been, you want to talk about something?”
Spyro replied, “Actually, I came here to see how you are doing, Hunter.”
Hunter looked back out the window saying, “I would rather not talk about that right now, I still need time to take it in.” Hunter looked back at Spyro with a false smile. “But enough of that, tell me, how are you and Cynder doing?” Hunter asked.
Spyro gave Hunter a grin and replied, “We are doing great, the only thing really new, is that she is wanting to start a family, and I just don't know if I'm ready for that yet. I also don't want our child to be born in a world of war, or pain.”
Hunter kept on looking at Spyro, and finally said, “You speak like a real father, I understand how you feel about this Spyro, but its not my place to tell you what to do in this situation,” Hunter places his hand on Spyro's shoulder, “that decision is yours and Cynder's alone.”
Spyro smiled at his good friend, “Thank you Hunter, I..” Spyro started to say as Prowless walked in the room,
“Hunter, it is time for us to go, we have politics back at Avalar we must attend to.” chief Prowless said before noticing Spyro. “Ah, good to see you old friend.” he said as he bowed his head. Spyro bowed back. Hunter looked at Spyro and said, “Well I must be going, goodbye Spryo.”
As they said their farewells, Spyro continued to Volteer's room. After a few minutes, he arrived at a large set of wooden doors, with a lightning blot across the center. “Well, here goes.” Spyro said as he knocked on the door. After a moment, Spyro heard Volteer say, “Come in.” Spyro opened the door.
The inside of Volteer's room suited his personality, a large bookshelf on the side, packed with books Spyro couldn't even begin to understand. The walls were an Electric yellow, with a small Chandelier that seemed to glow with electric energy. (Which to Spyro's knowledge, it did). In the center, sat Volteer, looking right at Spyro. Volteer smiled and said, “Ah Spyro, how magnificent to see you again, that was a very interesting meeting this morning, I would like to study the Drome fellow myself, but there is no recorded knowledge of him, but enough of my sensuous babbling, what has brought you here?” Volteer asked in his usual jittery voice.
Spyro replied, “Well, I have a question, and you are the most likely person too answer it.” Volteer, pleased by the news, replied, “Yes of course young dragon, any questions you may have, I will answer to my best knowledge.”
Spyro then replied, “Thank you, Volteer. For the past few days, I have been having a strange dream over and over again.” Volteer looked at his quizzically and asked, “Interesting, why don't you elaborate on what your dream was about?”
Spyro then told him everything about the dream, from beginning to end. After he was done, Volteer had his eyes closed, deep in thought. After a long silence, Volteer finally said, “This is troubling indeed, what you may have seen is a possible premonition. Of the past, or future I cannot be certain. The Purple Dragon has always had some 'unique' abilities, most of which I haven't figured out yet. As for if these beings actually exist,” Volteer looked at his bookshelf, “I have never come across those names, or of the history of the Black Gems. You may look in the library if you wish, but I doubt you will find anything.” Volteer looked at Spyro. “For now, we don't know enough to make any accurate assumptions. If you have any more of these dreams, different then what they are now, you need to let me know. Other than that, I cant really help you.” Volteer finished.
Spyro looked at the yellow dragon and replied, “Thank you Volteer, any help to figure this out would be great.” Volteer nodded and said, “You should get some rest, you look very tired, did you have a rough morning?” Spyro smiled and said, “Kind of, I had an annoying, flying, yellow alarm clock wake me up.” before Volteer could say more, Spyro said, “Your right, I'm gonna go back to my house and see if I can get some sleep in before more trouble starts up.” With that, he left.
_______________________________
Meanwhile in the Elder Chamber
Cynder sat facing the lead Elder in the same room the meeting took place in. The Elder has asked Cynder to state any important facts about Drome before he should ask questions.
Cynder started by saying, “I don't really know much about Drome myself, when I last saw him, he was only in his early 20's, and was already as skilled as Gaul. Drome didn't use two large swords like Gaul, Drome uses a particular longsword with two blades on one hilt, he mainly called it a 'fang sword'.”
The Elder asked, “Is Drome as good a spellcaster as his father?”
Cynder replied, “He was equally as powerful, he may have gotten stronger over the years, he always wanted power.”
The Elder asked another question, “Did Drome ever serve the Dark Master?”
Cynder had to think for a minute before saying, “I don't think he was as loyal to him as Gaul was, but I think he used to follow him.”
The Elder nodded and said, “Thank you Cynder, you have given me enough information today. You can leave now.” Cynder bowed her head to the Elder and left the room.

Back at Spyro's and Cynder's place, Spyro is sound asleep, but he is tossing and turning a bit in his sleep.
In Spyro's dream:
Rayde is walking down a long and narrow hallway. 'why have the elders summoned me?' he thought as he entered a large circular room.
One of the Elders, a silver dragon, stood and said, “Rayde, it is good you came, we need to talk to you. You may not believe us but please, at least listen.”. Rayde only stared at them, and asked, “Why should I listen to you?” The Elder replied, “because of you don't you will be blinded by a false cause.” Rayde took this to effect and sat down. “You better not be wasting my time Jex, I have much to do.”
The other elders started whispering as they heard their leaders name, Jex however didn't seem affected by this. “We know what you have been doing these past few months for Kaze, and we know of his intentions.” Jex said.
Rayde immediately stood, and yelled “I know what he is doing, he is using my weapons to ensure peace over my race, the Humans, he promised me that if I created them for him, he could protect my people.”
Jex looked at him with disappointment and said, “No Rayde, you have been fooled.” Rayde looked startled by this statement. “The creation of the Golem, and the Destroyer by your hands, has another cause, but not the one you think. We had a spy in your area, and he has learned that Kaze has altered the Destroyer to do the unthinkable, to destroy this planet.” Rayde stared at him wide-eyed, and said, “Your lying, you have no proof.”
Jex only said, “Kaze has mislead you Rayde, he fooled you into not making weapons of peace, but weapons of destruction, and if we do not stop him, he will destroy everything.”
At that moment, one of the Elders collapsed to the ground holding his head. “Morris, what is wrong?” Jex asked the Elder. Morris only replied, “Golem....active......destroying......city..of.......Narris...”
Rayde immediately jumped off the table and said, “NARRIS!!! Thats where the last of my kind lives......I....I cant believe...” Rayde fell to his knees, Jex said to him, “You see what has happened, we need to get to Narris before it is too late, we have to stop Kaze.”
Rayde stood up, intense rage in his eyes, and said, “That bastard Kaze will pay for this with his life.
With that, Rayde raced out the door, and outside. Rayde suddenly closed his eyes and breathed in deep. He then raised his arms parallel to the ground. As he did, His silver armor sprouted two large wing-shaped crystals from his back. He smiled and took flight.


Chapter 4- Plans
Cynder is flying her way back to her and Spyro's house. I wonder what he found out from Volteer, I just hope these dreams don't become reality. Cynder thought as she entered the front door. Their house was basic, there is a living room, which only consisted of two cushions, and a small table. Then there is a staircase that leads up to their bedroom. “Spyro?” Cynder called out to him. No response came. He is probably asleep again. She thought shaking her head.
Cynder walked up the stairs, and entered the door; she looked at Spyro in the bowl and noticed he was sweating, and turning in his sleep. Oh great, he is probably having that dream again. She thought as she went over to wake him up.
She touched him on the shoulder, shaking him roughly as she called, “Spyro, wake up, open your eyes.” Spyro eventually shot his eyes open and looked around to see Cynder standing over him. “Bad dream again, huh?” Cynder asked him. Spyro nodded and replied, “Yeah, but this time, it was different.” Cynder looked at him with alarm, and curiosity. “What do you mean Spyro?” She asked him quizzically.
Over the next half an hour, Spyro explained every detail of his dream (as shown in Chapter 3). When he finished, Cynder sat wide-eyed staring at him.
Just then, they heard a knock on the window. They looked over and saw Sparx, with an equal look of confusion on his face as Cynder's. Spyro looked at his old friend and opened the window. Sparx immediately stated, “Sorry, I couldn't help but overhearing, I just thought that I could come visit you, since the job I've been given, I hardly have any free time.”
“Its OK Sparx, I intended to visit you too sooner or later, we haven't been spending much time together as usual.” Spyro said to Sparx. Cynder added, “I planned on going with Spyro. I haven't got a chance to thank you.” Sparx stared at her puzzled, “For what?” Sparx asked. “For waking us up, we would have been late if it wasn't for you.” Cynder replied smiling. Sparx smiled back and said, “What are friends for.”
Cynder turned her attention back to Spyro and asked, “So, you think this 'Rayde' guy created to Golem and the Destroyer, but that was probably hundreds of years ago.” Spyro nodded and said, “I know, I am going to ask Volteer about it and see what we could find. Sparx added in, “What do you think of this 'Kaze' guy, he definitely isn't the nicest guy, you think he could be Malefor's...like 32nd great grandfather?” Spyro replied, “I don't know, I intend to find out all I can.”
Cynder said eagerly, “Lets go see Volteer then, and Spyro, I want to talk to you when we are done.” Sparx gave Spyro a 'your so screwed now' look, Spyro just shrugged. They took off to the Central Tower again.
“Do you think this will have anything to do with us?” Cynder asked Spyro, concern in her eyes. Spyro looked back at her and sighed, “I don't know, but why would I be having these visions?” Spyro noticed Cynder looking depressed about his answer, “don't worry,” he added, “I wont let anything come in between us.” Cynder gave him a very happy grin, Spyro could only grin back.
They started to near the tower, when they noticed Volteer was already outside, walking on the outside balcony alone. Spyro, Cynder, and Sparx landed in front of him.
Volteer said, “Oh....you startled me young dragon, you know you shouldn't sneak up on people like that unless of course your in combat. What do you need?” he asked them.
Spyro started, “I know its only been about 2 hours since we last talked, but I had that dream again, but this time, it was different. Volteer, now fully alert asked Spyro, “Different you say....how?” out by the door everyone heard Cyril's voice saying, “Yes Spyro, I would like an explanation myself.” he said as he walk out onto the balcony. Terrador was following Cyril and said, “Yes, you need to explain yourself young dragon.”
Spyro looked down at realizing he never told the other Guardians. “I'm sorry,” Spyro apologized, “I thought I would tell you later.” Terrador raised a hand and said, “No need for apologies Spyro, but in the future, don't be so reluctant with us, now tell us about the dream.” Spyro nodded and told them everything about the dream, about Rayde, Kaze, the Golem, and the Destroyer.
After he finished, the Guardians sat in silence for a minute thinking. Volteer finally said, “This is certainly and interesting turn of events, learning who created those two vile creatures, and about this race, the Humans you called them Spyro?” Spyro nodded, Volteer continued, “I have never came across them in my studies, or in the library.” Cyril added, “Neither have I, how about you Terrador?” Terrador only stated, “I know nothing of the Humans, and this Rayde being the creator of the Golem and the Destroyer, and this Kaze, it is strange that there are no records of them in any library, this is fascinating.”
Cynder interrupted by saying, “Terrador, what does this mean?” Terrador looked at her and said, “I am not sure, we won't be able to find out what this means until we can find more details about these two.” Cyril followed by saying, “I agree Terrador, we must find more knowledge of these two figures before we can do anything. I will look in the library to see if there is anything we missed.” Volteer added, “I will join you, looking through all those books by yourself would take a long period of time.” Cyril nodded in response, and they both left the balcony to the library.
Terrador said to Sparx, “Sparx, I want you to go to the Valley of Avalar, and see of you can find any details there, I will look in my own collection of books to see if I can find something.” Sparx replied, “Alright, but fair warning, I was never good with books, just ask my reading teacher.” Spyro smiled as he remembered his reading teacher yelling at Sparx for forgetting his books in his room. “But I will do the best I can, when do I need to leave?” Sparx asked.
Terrador replied, “Let me get a paper saying that you have my permission to check in their restricted books, they won't let you in without one.” Sparx nodded in response, and said, “I'll just wait in you room then, see ya Spyro, Cynder.” he said as he took off.
Terrador shook his head and said, “At least he knows what he needs to do.” Terrador said as he started to leave. Cynder stopped him saying, “Hey Terrador, can I ask you something?” Terrador turned back around and said, “Yes what is it Cynder?”
Cynder looked up at him and asked, “Would you mind if me and Spyro took a small vacation?” Terrador looked surprised by this request. Cynder continued, “Ever since we got back from beating Malefor, we haven't had any time to relax, I'm not saying for a week, more like a few hours to a day.” Spyro was appalled by Cynder's request. She must have been planning this since this morning. Terrador smiled and said, “Under the circumstances, I would normally say 'no', but, since you two have been working hard since Malefor's defeat, I see no harm in a day off.” Both Spyro and Cynder smiled, Spyro said to Terrador, “Thank you, sir.” Terrador only shook his head and said, “Don't mention it, but don't be gone for a long time, one day would be enough, have fun you two.” Spyro and Cynder nodded, and Terrador went back inside.
Spyro looked at Cynder with a questioning look on his face and said, “Is that what you wanted to talk about?” Cynder only smiled, and replied, “No, I only wanted to know if you thought the Dragon Shores would be a good place to go.” Spyro laughed and said, “You have been planning this since this morning haven't you?” Cynder got a mischievous look and replied, “Maybe, politics really wears you out, you know?” Spyro nodded and kissed Cynder on the lips, after a long 2 minutes, Spyro said, “The Dragon Shores sounds like a great place to relax, when do you want to leave?” Cynder thought for a minute, and then said smiling, “How about today, it's not even noon yet, and Terrador said we have one day.” Cynder then kissed him again. Cynder, talking through his lips said, “Besides, I want to be here on New Year of the Dragon Eve.”
Spyro smiled and said to Cynder lovingly, “Of course we can leave today Cyn, this is going to be great. Finally we get some alone time.” Cynder smiled and hugged him saying, “Then we better get ready, we're burning daylight.” Cynder suddenly took off towards the south, where the Dragon Shores are at. Cynder looked back at him saying, “Come on Spyro, your wings suddenly break, lets go!” She called. Spyro laughed and took off, staying close behind Cynder as the flew toward the Dragon Shores.


Chapter 5- Sunset and Findings.
Spyro and Cynder were flying for about 2 hours before the Dragon Shores Continent became visible. Spyro noticed along the way, that large stone bridges were built to connect the large chunks of the planet. Thats probably how they get from place to place now. Spyro thought.
As they neared the Dragon Shores, Spyro and Cynder could smell the salty sea air, the scent relaxed them. Cynder said to Spyro, “Dont you find it strange that even though the planet is in large chunks, the water of the area remains there, rather then pouring out?” Spyro thought about this and replied, “Maybe it's like that because of the method I used to hold the planet together, or maybe the earth's magnetic field is holding it in place?” Cynder only shrugged and said, “Well, it doesn't matter to me, what would the Dragon Shores be without the sea?” she said. Spyro smiled and replied, “Probably the Dragon Desert.” Cynder laughed at this.
Spyro and Cynder got close enough to the Shores so that they could see the sea. The beach is considerably long, with sand as perfectly colored as it should be. The sea was a perfect shade of sea blue, and stretched as far as it could go, The Dragon Shores is the larges continent at this time. It seemed like the Dragon Shores was made as a vacation spot. The weather was perfect, not a single cloud, and as warm as a campfire on a warm summer evening (a relative 80-85 degrees).
As Spyro and Cynder landed, they saw someone they didn't expect to see, Kane of the Atlawa. He was with his troops and his two subordinates that they saw at the court meeting. Kane noticed the two of them and waved.
Spyro and Cynder both walked up to him. Kane greeted, “Hello Spyro, Cynder, what brings you here?” Cynder replied, “We are actually on a break, Terrador let us come here.” Kane nodded and said in a more darker tone to Cynder, “Yes, ever since what you and Malefor have done, most people would find a vacation relaxing.” Spyro, angered by the mentioning of Cynder working for Malefor replied, “You cant really blame her for that, she was controlled against her own will. Besides, without Cynder, I would have never defeated Malefor and-” Cynder interrupted him, “Spyro stop there is no need to argue.” Cynder turned to Kane and said, “Look, I'm not asking everyone to forgive what I have done, rather I am asking everyone to trust me as I am now, Malefor is dead and he has no control over me anymore.”
Kane looked back and said, “I suppose your right, forgive me, my mind is not always clear, sometimes I get ahead of myself.” Kane continued, “But enough of that, so you to are here on vacation huh? Lucky you, I have to pass through here to get back to Tall Plains, these continents are very annoying and take a while to travel through. Gah! Who am I to complain? Ever since the breakup of the planet trade routes have to go through Tall Plains, and because of that, our tribe has flourished enough to become the 3rd largest establishment in the world!” Spyro smiled and replied, “I guess some good came out of this war huh?” Kane laughed and said, “That it has, young dragon. By the way, where is that annoying mosquito friend of yours?”
Spyro replied, “Terrador sent him to Avalar to look for information on something.” Spyro didn't reveal all the details, due to that he didn't want his strange dreams to become common knowledge. Kane looked at him questionably and said, “We have some old records in our library also, if you need those, you can go there too. What is it your specifically looking for?” Spyro only shook his head and said, “Sorry Kane, I can't really tell you that.”
Kane only shook his head and said, “Well, I guess I have no part in it, but you can still look at our records if you would like.” Cynder replied, “You may need to talk to Terrador about that, he can set up a date for when someone can go look.” Kane replied, “Bah! I'm not going all the way back to Warfang for that, I may send a messenger though, we will see. Until then, I have to go, cant hang around chatting, duty calls. Goodbye for now.” Kane said as he took his leave. “See ya Kane.” Spyro replied, as well as Cynder.
As Spyro and Cynder walked toward the beach, Spyro growled, “He shouldn't have talked about your past, every time I-” Cynder clamped a paw over his mouth and said to him, “Spyro, don't worry about it, I know what I did was wrong and everyone has a right to hate me for it.” Spyro looked towards the ground and said, “Still, they shouldn't even be mad at you, you helped me defeat Malefor.” Cynder only smiled and said, “But thats in the past, lets think about now, like getting to that beach.”
Spyro nodded in reply. “Bet I could be you to the water?” Spyro asked Cynder playfully. Cynder replied cockily and said, “Oh, I don't know, you seem to be slower that usual.” Spyro was about to reply when Cynder took off running towards the beach.
Spyro started chasing her and shouted, “Hey thats not fair, you got a head start!” Cynder looked back and replied, “Whats wrong Spyro? Cant outrun a lady?” Spyro only laughed and ran harder, starting to catch up to her. Cynder started to run much faster too, but couldn't outrun him. Right as Spyro got close enough behind her, Cynder used her wind breath to knock up a bunch of sand in Spyro's path. Spyro ran straight through it, getting sand all over his face and nose. Spyro coughed and sputtered, when he got the sand out of his face, he saw Cynder sitting at the edge of the water. She said, “Looks like I win.”
Spyro laughed and said, “That you have.” and walked up to her. Spyro and Cynder sat on the edge of the water, staring out to the ocean. Cynder places her head on Spyro's shoulder. Spyro leans his head on hers. After a few minutes of gazing out to the ocean, Cynder whispered, “I love you Spyro.” Spyro smiled and replied, “I love you too Cynder.”
Cynder lifted her head and kissed Spyro. The kiss was long and passionate. After a while, Cynder pulled away and said, “What do I get for winning our little race?” she asked playfully. Spyro pondered on this for a minute then finally said, “That depends, what do you want?”
Cynder blushed and lowered her head, Spyro just looked at her. When she looked back up she said, “How about a child?” Spyro looked away with a resentful look on his face. Spyro looked back at Cynder and said, “Cynder, you know I don't want to bring a child into this world, it's not safe. I promise you, some day we will have our own child. I don't want him or her to have to be born in a world of fighting and war.” Spyro continued, “When this whole incident with Drome is over, and when I figure out what these dreams mean, and if they are dangerous, then we can start thinking about starting a family.”
Cynder looked away with a contempt look on her face. “Somehow I knew you would say that. You're right, I don't want our baby to be born in a world of war, not the lives we were born into.” Spyro held her close, holding her not only as a friend, but a mate and a lover.
The sun was getting close to setting, the sparkles on the oceans surface glittered like a thousand diamonds in a bright room full if mirrors. Cynder said to Spyro, “How about we watch the sunset together?” Spyro replied, “That sounds good to me” Together they lied down on the beach, curled up close to each other. As they watched the sun set, Spyro said to Cynder, “You know, this would be a good spot for us to sleep tonight.” Cynder replied, “I agree, this is very comfortable.”
Together they watched the sun set, as the luminous orange orb lowered over the sea of sparkling water, Spyro and Cynder never felt more at peace with the world then they are now. Then the sun set. Spyro yawned and said to Cynder, “Good night, Cyn, sleep well.” Cynder kissed him on the cheek and said, “You too, see ya in the morning.” And together they fell asleep under the night sky, the sound of the sea rushing up against the shore. The sound of the crickets chirping away. This is a peaceful night.

Meanwhile at Avalar's library
Sparx is looking at a book with a look of concentration on his face. On the table he is at, several large piles of books litter the table. Sparx eventually shuts the book, which is a bit bigger than him, and says, “No good, at this rate I wont find anything in here until the Year of the Dragon after this one. Assuming there is anything in here at all about Humans, or Narris.”
Sparx heard something walking towards him, he assumed it was the assistant that helped him find the books he could. As the figure came into Sparx's view, he realized it was Hunter. Hunter greeted Sparx by saying, “Good evening, Sparx. Looks like you found some reading material.” Sparx only sighed and said, “Yea hi Hunter. As for these books, they haven't helped me at all.”
Hunter said to Sparx, “Terrador told me about what your looking for, and I think I can help you.” Sparx looked up at Hunter and let him continue. “There is a room in this library that only government officials of Avalar can enter, under the circumstances, I convinced Prowless to allow me access to that room.” Sparx with a determined look on his face, said, “Alright lets check this place out, I feel like getting home for the New Year festival.” Hunter nodded and showed him the way.
When Hunter and Sparx got to the room's door, Hunter pulled out a small key from his pocket and opened the door. Sparx entered first, the room was fairly small, with only one desk in the center. There were only 3 bookshelves, each about 15 feet tall lined with books. Sparx said, “Great, now we have several hundred more to look through.” Hunter only shook his head and replied, “With me here, it shouldn't take as long, if there is anything on the Humans in this library, it would be here.”
As they looked through the books for the next hour, Sparx notices one book in top of the shelf. Sparx said to Hunter, “I'll get that one.” As Sparx dropped the book down to Hunter, Sparx noticed a strange indentation in the crack behind the shelf. He looked down in it and noticed there was a button. Sparx looked at it and said to himself, “I know I shouldn't press this, but what the heck.” Sparx pushed the button.
As soon as he did, one small portion of an empty wall moved aside, revealing a small staircase leading down. Hunter looked up at Sparx and said, “What did you do?” Sparx looked back at him and said, “I found a weird button back here and pressed it.” Hunter looked back at the staircase and said, “Might as well take a look, we may find hidden records.” and he walked down the stairs, soon followed by Sparx.
Sparx complained on the way down, “Honestly does it have to be so dark down here, and whats with this tunnel anyway? People are weird in the older days.” Hunter, seemingly oblivious to Sparx complaining said, “This is fascinating, they may have built this as a bunker against attacks.”
Eventually they entered a large, pitch-black room with a lit torch next to the doorway. Hunter picked up the torch, and noticed the walls had a trail of black powder on it, Hunter placed the torch on the powder, and it lit up the entire room. The room was medium sized, it looked as if though someone lived there before. A bed, and a desk was present. On the desk sat two things, a scroll and a small book.
Sparx walked over to the book, the cover read, 'History of Narris, the Last Human City.' Sparx exclaimed, “Well thats convenient.” He then looked over at the scroll, he tried to read it, but didn't understand the glyphs, Hunter couldn't read them either.
Hunter said to Sparx, “We may need to take this to Terrador, he could probably translate it.” Sparx agreed. Hunter then picked up the book and the scroll, and together, they headed out of the library and started towards Warfang, with the sun setting in the wake. Sparx thought to himself, I hope Spyro and Cynder are having a good time.


Chapter 6- Crystal
On the beach of the Dragon Shores, still late in the night, the only thing that can be seen on the beach is two dragons curled up asleep together. They appear to be sleeping peacefully, but on closer inspection Spyro seems to be having a nightmare.
Continuing where we left of:
Rayde is flying over a large lake close to the waters surface. He looks at himself in the water. Rayde is a white male, looks around 17 years old. Medium length brown hair, and brown eyes. He is about 6 ft. 2 in, athletic built. His armor is a bright sliver color, with a black strip running down each side. He also has two wings that look as though they are made of crystal, with a light shade of green. He also had a sword on his side with an unusually wide sheath.
Rayde smiled at his reflection, “still look the same after 3 years of working under Kaze.” He thought.
Rayde looked back up with a serious look on his face, “I hope I'm not to late” he said out loud. Narris, his home city and the last stronghold of the Human race, was under attack by Kaze, an dragon that Rayde has never seen in light, only in a shaded room.
Soon, Narris came into view. The city was on a large island, tall buildings with a taller tower in the center. The buildings were made of what looked like marble. Rayde's heart sank, he could see pillars of smoke, and most of the buildings were destroyed. A red glare could be seen symbolizing fire. And the large tower had a large piece missing from the side. As Rayde got closer, the large tower collapsed, falling to the ground.
“NO!” Rayde shouted. Seeing the building where his family lived enraged him. “It's obvious he used my Golem to do this, but where is it?” Rayde asked himself. His wings disappeared as Rayde landed in a large, ruined square. The town square was a horrible sight to witness, bodies of humans lay scattered. Rayde recognized some of them.
Suddenly a strange, weak voice called from a corner, “.....Rayde....is that....you?” Rayde looked toward the voice, and found the one thing he didn't, his father Kale. Kale was badly injured, it looked as though he had been crushed, he had a broken arm, as well as a broken leg; other injuries were not visible.
“DAD!” Rayde shouted as he ran over to him. Rayde held him and asked, “Who did this, who did this to our people?!” Kale looked at him and said, “A large beast made of rock and magma...... there was another....a....dragon, he slew everyone....I couldn't stop him-” He stopped as he coughed up blood and then continued, “Son...you must stop him......'cough'... for the sake of every living being on this planet, you have to stop him...” Rayde, tears in his eyes replied, “I will dad, don't worry our race will be avenged.” Kale said with his last few breaths, “Good......I....love....you.....” then he died.
Rayde gently placed his father's body down and stood up, “The time for mourning will be later, now I have to kill Kaze.” He said with overwhelming anger in his voice.
A cold voice seemed to come out of nowhere, “Awww, how heartbreaking, a father's last moment with his son. How.....amusing.” A cold laugh followed after that.
Rayde recognized this voice, “KAZE!” Rayde shouted, “Show yourself so I can finish you!”
A large, sharp rock flew out of one of the nearby buildings, Rayde noticed it and dodged it by doing a back flip. Rayde said towards the building the rock flew out of saying “You will have to do better than that to beat me.”
Kaze rounded the corner of the building saying, “Yes I believed so.” Rayde had never seen Kaze in the light. Kaze had black horns, a dark read underbelly, and purple scales on his body. Kaze was a purple dragon.
Rayde pulled his sword out of the sheath. Rayde's sword was strange, it had two blades coming out of one side of the hilt, a fang sword about 4 feet in length. Rayde held the sword over his head pointed towards Kaze, with his other hand out in front of him.
Kaze only laughed, “Do you truly think you can beat me, I am the first purple dragon in existence, I have mastered 9 out of the eleven elements, Fire, Ice, Electricity, Earth, Shadow, Poison, Fear, Wind, and Darkness. The only two I haven't mastered is light, and your element...”
Rayde smiled and said, “You not getting that secret out of me.” Rayde held his arm out in front of him, a large crystal in the shape of a shield pulled out of the ground and attached itself to Rayde's arm. Rayde then said, “Crystal element belongs to me, not you.”
Kaze smiled and replied, “Oh well, guess I will have to find out another way.” Kaze suddenly drew in his breath and unleashed a large ice stream from his mouth. Kaze planted one hand into the ground and rose it back up, a large crystal wall forming in front of him.

When Kaze stopped his icy onslaught, Rayde inhaled deeply curling his hands into fists, and rapidly punched the crystal wall. Small, sharp crystals procured out from the wall, heading straight for Kaze. Kaze inhaled again and used his wind breath to move the shards out of his path. Kaze missed one of them and it grazed his shoulder, leaving a deep gash.
Kaze only looked at it and said, “Hmmmm, this should be interesting.” Kaze lunged at Rayde, claws extended and mouth open. Rayde readied his sword, right as Kaze was upon him, Rayde hacked at Kaze's head. Kaze swerved out of the way, and swiped a claw at Rayde. Rayde blocked with his shield.
The fight continued of for a while like this, neither of them landing a blow on the other. Rayde finally saw a hole in Kaze's defense and slashed at his chest, leaving a large gash, Kaze grunted as Rayde bashed him with his shield sending him flying across the courtyard. Both warriors were sweating and panting heavily.
Kaze chuckled and said, “it seems we are on even footing, I guess I won't have to hold back anymore.”
Rayde shook his head and said, “I hoped it wouldn't have to come to this, but you leave me no choice.” Kaze looked puzzled and asked, “What do you mean?” Rayde chuckled and said, “There are a total of 12 elements, not 11.” Kaze looked shocked as Rayde continued, “The last element that only humans can control, is plasma.”
Kaze stared at him and said, “Plasma, how do I know your not lying?” Rayde sheathed his sword, and pulled a two handed sword hilt out from his armor. Rayde said, “Let me show you.” Rayde slammed the hilt into the ground so that it was perpendicular to the ground. After a few seconds, Rayde pulled up the hilt, revealing a large two-handed sword, the blade was ominous. Kaze noticed the blade had a strange pattern moving on it, the blade was a lighter black with water-like movements of red moving through it.
Kaze said with confidence in his voice, “Impressive.” Kaze started to glow with a black aura around him, Rayde knew what he was doing, Kaze was going into fury mode. Rayde jumped at Kaze, when he brought the sword down on him, Kaze used the aura to push him away, sending Rayde rolling on the ground. As he got to his feet, Rayde noticed that Kaze had changed, his scales were all black now, including his eyes.
Kaze looked at Rayde and said, “Behold the power of the darkest soul.” Rayde replied, “So this is your true power, doesn't look that scary to me.” Kaze bellowed, “SILENCE YOU FOOL! NOW YOU WILL DIE!” Kaze shot a stream of black energy out of his mouth. Rayde lunged his sword in front of him, a gray liquid shooting out of the blade's tip. The beams met in midair, staying still as neither could best the other. Kaze suddenly started to glow more and more, the black beam slowly edging towards him. Rayde said in his head, “Gods, hear me now, I need you to lend me your strength or this whole planet will fall to this madman.”
Rayde suddenly heard a voice in his head, his father's voice, “Hold steady and use the strength in your heart, that is all you will need.” Rayde couldn't figure out what he meant, the black beam slowly edging toward him made him think. “I failed” He said. He thought of his family, his friends, his father.
Rayde then suddenly felt a huge energy rush from his chest, he unleashed all of it at once pushing the black beam back towards Kaze. Kaze felt something he had never felt before, fear, as the plasma beam was rapidly approaching. Kaze couldn't stop it as the plasma struck him in the chest.
Kaze howled in pain, and was thrown through the buildings behind him till he landed on a beach. Kaze looked up to see Rayde standing over him. Kaze used all of his energy and was now back to normal color. Kaze in agony said, “How? How could you have beaten me?!? I am superior to you, your no more than a Human!”
Rayde replied, “You surrendered your entire being to power, power alone is strong, but not as strong as the bond of a family and ones heart.” Kaze only stared at him. Rayde said to him, “I built the Golem and the Destroyer to use only when necessary to keep peace, not as a tool of conquer. I plan to keep it that way, and now you die Kaze.” Rayde lunged his sword and stabbed Kaze in the heart.
Kaze opened his eyes in shock and pain. Rayde pulled the sword out, and Kaze fell over onto his side.
Kaze was dead.
Rayde cried out in agony over his family, and his race. Rayde is the last human alive.
As Rayde was walking away, he heard a strange sound back from Kaze's body, he turned around to see what looked like a spirit in the shape of Kaze's head enter his body.
Rayde suddenly felt a burning pressure all over his body, and he could hear Kaze laughing. “He must be trying to control me...” Rayde said. Rayde heard in his mind, “Thats right, and as soon as I take over your body, I will control every element.”
Rayde only had one option, an ancient crystal technic used in this situation, Sealing of the Heart. Rayde started to say the Incantation.
Gods of the gems that shine
hear my call of my design
Still this beast within my heart
by sealing that from which it should start
awaken me on journeys end
so that I can destroy this creature of bend.
SEALING OF THE HEARTS!
Rayde started to glow a golden-yellow color. As he looked down, he could see that a yellow crystal was slowly encasing his body.
Rayde heard Kaze ask, “What are you doing, What is this?!?” Rayde smiled and replied, “I am sealing us both, when we wake up, you will be dormant and I won't remember any of this. That is the way it will be.” The crystal was now up to Rayde's neck.
Rayde said one last time, “Goodbye Kaze, never again will you hurt anyone.”
The crystal went over his head, sealing him completely. Rayde had a peaceful look, only as if he was sleeping.


Chapter 7- Preparation
Eve of the 32nd Year of the Dragon.
Spyro woke with a sudden jolt. He looks around and notices he is still at Dragon Shores with Cynder, who has woken up due to Spyro. Cynder, concerned, asked, “Whats wrong Spyro? You didn't have another dream again did you?”
Spyro looked at her and nodded, “I think it would be better if the Elders hear about this when you hear about it.” Spyro said. Cynder looked at him puzzled. Not burrowing further she said, “Ok, I understand. We may need to get going then, Terrador will be expecting us back soon.” Spyro nodded and prepared to take off.
On the way back to Warfang, Spyro was lost in though. So Kaze is the very first purple dragon, and what was with those abilities Rayde used, plasma and crystal. Now, Rayde has sealed himself in able to keep Kaze dormant. This may involve me after all... Spyro thought.
Cynder looked over at him, knowing he is thinking about the dream. Cynder thought to herself, Lets just hope this isn't serious, not this close to the Year of the Dragon.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Meanwhile with Sparx and Hunter
Sparx and Hunter just got into Warfang. Sparx appeared exhausted, while Hunter was holding the book and the scroll they found in Avalar. Hunter looked at the book and asked Sparx, “Do you think there may be a secret study in all the ancient libraries throughout our world?” Sparx only shrugged in response.
Hunter shook his head, Guess he isn't the one to ask. He thought. Hunter told Sparx, “I am going to take this to the Guardians, you go rest for now.” Sparx nodded in agreement and headed off towards the tower, almost falling asleep on the way there.
Hunter took off running full speed towards the tower. As he was running, he noticed that many people were putting up decorations. Banners with dragons on them, traveling merchants setting up shops, stores with holiday discounts, all the works.
Hunter smiled, he knew the town would be bustling for the event. It is the same thing every year. Starting at 10 o'clock p.m., a firework is launched every half hour until midnight, then a huge fireworks display is shown.
Hunter thought about Archer, his brother killed in an ambush. Hunter smiled, a new year was always Archer's favorite holiday. He would spend hours on end making food trays, decorations, and party favors at Avalar every year. Hunter shrugged it off, “Now is not the time to be thinking about him.” He said as he neared the tower entrance.
The tower itself has some decorations prior to the event, banners, and signs, basic stuff. Hunter entered the tower to already find Terrador in the main lobby reading a book. Hunter approached him and said, “Good morning, Terrador, are you looking for information on Narris as well?” Terrador looked up at Hunter and replied, “Good morning also Hunter, and yes, I am. So far, I could only find out that it did exist, but was destroyed hundreds of years ago. By what it does not say.”
Hunter held the book of Narris up and said, “This may be useful, me and Sparx found it in a secret study in Avalar's Library.” He handed to book to Terrador. Terrador opened the first page, after a few minutes, he looked at Hunter and said, “This is incredible! This book will tell us how it was made, where, who lived in it, all the governors of it, and how it was destroyed. Did you find this, or did Sparx?”
Hunter smiled and said, “It was by Sparx's folly we managed to find this book. I believe there may be similar studies across all the ancient libraries in this world, do you think so?” Terrador pondered on this for a minute, finally replying, “It is possible, but it would be difficult to get the other governors permission to ransack their libraries for something that might not even be there.”
Hunter nodded in agreement and replied, “Yes, but if we explain our cause they may let us investigate.” Terrador pondered this for a moment, then said, “Maybe....but lets not do anything until after the event tonight. We all need to take a break now and then.”
Hunter looked around for a minute, then asked Terrador, “Where are Spyro and Cynder?” Terrador smiled and said, “They went on a small vacation, they should be back any-” Terrador was interrupted as Spyro and Cynder walked to him.
Terrador smiled and said, “Speaking of which, here they are now.” Spyro nodded and looked up at Hunter saying, “Nice to see you again Hunter, why are you here?” Hunter crossed his arms and replied, “Terrador sent me to help Sparx in Avalar's library. You may be interested to know that we found this book.” He said pointing at the book Terrador was holding. Hunter continued, “That book will give us much information on Narris, we found it in a secret part of the library.”
Spyro and Cynder looked surprised. Cynder said to Hunter, “We, you said. So Sparx actually helped you find it?” Hunter laughed and replied, “It is actually because of him we even found the study the book was in. All of us have some stroke of brilliance now and then.” Cynder nodded and said, “I suppose so.”
Spyro looked at Terrador and said, “You may want to know that I had another dream last night about Rayde, this may actually involve us more than we think.” Terrador looked back and said, “I will gather the other Guardians. You, Cynder, and Hunter, wait for us in my study where we wont be disturbed.” All three of them nodded and headed off to the study.
Terrador's study was more of a sitting room. Stone walls, a desk in the center, and a single bookshelf, along with quills and ink. There the trio waited for the Guardians to enter. The room was dead silent, no sound came from anywhere. After a few long minutes, the Guardians all entered the study.
Cyril was first to ask, “What happened this time? Is this a different dream, or a new one?” Spyro replied to the ice-blue dragon, “Yes, I know much more about what has happened.” Spyro then began to explain every small detail about the dream. Kaze being the first purple dragon, Rayde able to wield the element of Crystal and Plasma, about the Fang Sword and Plasma Sword Rayde used, and about how he froze himself in able to seal Kaze.
After he finished there was a long silence. After a few minutes Cynder finally said, “Wait....The sword that Rayde used, it sounds exactly like Drome's sword.” Everyone agreed with this fact. Hunter spoke next, “So Drome has some connection to Rayde? Or is it the other way around?” Volteer spoke next, “either way, we will not know until we confront him, the only other matter pressing is that if Drome has Rayde's sword can he be able to acquire the ability to use crystal?” Terrador followed, “I did not even know that crystal, or plasma for that matter were even elements.” Spyro finished, “We may be dealing with a power no one has seen in hundreds of years.”

Meanwhile in a desolate wasteland, the remnants of the Mountain of Malefor could still be seen. Near the top, a light could be seen. Looking out into the wasteland, there are hundreds of small camps set up, each one residing apes.
In a small meeting room within the mountain, a heated discussion can be heard. In this room, there are 4 apes. Each one fairly large in size wearing battle armor. In one corner, an ape is shaded and his face cannot be seen. All that can be seen is a glowing red gem in place of a left eye.
The discussion goes on, “We have to attack now if we are to gain the upper hand!” One of the apes said, “They are not expecting an attack on this cursed holiday, and when they see us attacking Warfang, their morale will diminish into nothing.” Two of the apes bellowed in agreement, but the one in the shade remained silent. The ape that made the speech looked at him and said, “What say you, are you in?”
The figure spoke in a low, but smooth voice, “Think about this, it is true they won't be expecting us on this day; although they are not fools. They will most likely have defenses set for the event. Not to mention that purple whelp and the traitor, Cynder.” The other ape was unconvinced, “No! We should attack now! We have the upper hand here, we would have a better chance if you didn't give them a heads up about us coming with that Scout 17 you gave our isolation to them on a silver platter!” the ape bellowed
The shaded ape spoke again, “That was my intention. You do not know what I have in store for these infinitesimal creatures. You suggest we kill the Purple Dragon, I have plans for him that will win us total power. You are far to hasty for your stature.” The other ape looked at him and said, “Then what do you suggest? That we let them prepare for us to come!? You of all people should be more than happy to kill that purple fool, he slew your father after all! What are your plans anyway? Why wont you tell us!”
The shaded ape leaned forward into the light, his face resembled Gaul, but this ape didn't have a claw scar on his face, rather a sword scar across his eye. He looked directly at the bellowing ape and said, “I cant have my plans floating around like common knowledge now can I? You would do well to still your tongue. My plans are to attack the day after. I plan to face the purple dragon head on, but not kill him. Rather to test his power.”
The other ape looked at him quizzically, “Your methods will kill us all. I say you are unfit to lead this army. I challenge you for your throne, and I will-” He was interrupted as a red beam shot out of the lead ape's eye. The beam went through his neck, severing his head from his body. The corpse fell flat on the floor. The other apes looked in astonishment at the body.
The lead ape then said, “This is what happens to anyone who challenges me. That fool did not know who he was dealing with, as for you two. I promise that I will bring our race power over the dragons. I know how to do so.” he said with an evil grin. The other two apes bowed their heads and said, “Yes, lord Drome.”
Drome headed to the balcony where he could see his army. All of the apes looked up at him and began chanting, “HAIL LORD DROME! HAIL LORD DROME!”
Drome looked down at his army smiling, he then said to himself, “I will not be the fool my father was. I know how to bring power to the apes, and it all starts with this.” He reached down his side and unsheathed his sword. The blade was about 4 feet in length, with two blades on one s
