Chapter 1

20 years ago

Avalar valley

The sun in Avalar shined brightly as a large purple dragon wearily stood upright, feeling bruised and broken, he barely had the strength to stand upright as his thoughts became aloud.

"Oh, my head..." the purple dragon began to collect his thoughts as he saw a black dragoness lying beside him.

"Cynder!" The dragon rushed over to her and rolled her onto her back, all he saw were closed eyes, then a weary voice started to speak.

"Spyro...did we win?" Cynder mumbled as Spyro gave a delighted nod, and he helped her up.

"You scared me Cynder...I thought I'd lost you" Spyro spoke with a concerned tone as the dragoness gave him a coy smile.

"Well, Spyro you can't lose me, not after all we've been through, besides the snake charms keep us together anyway" Cynder giggled as Spyro gave her a hug.

"Well, I wouldn't rather be stuck with anyone else, you know Cynder...what you said back in Malefor's lair..." Spyro trailed off as Cynder gave a slight look of confusion.

"About..." Cynder gave him a questioning look.

"You know, you said you...loved me..." Spyro jogged Cynder's memory as she also remembered it.

"Oh...that...so do you feel the same way?" Cynder asked as the purple dragon gave her a look...and smiled.

"You know I do..." Spyro chuckled as he gave Cynder a kiss on the cheek, and Cynder couldn't help but blush.

"Spyro!" Cynder spoke with a slight nervousness in her tone.

"Well, now that's out of the way, I feel we should head back to Warfang, the others will want to know we survived" Spyro explained as he spread his wings, Cynder did the same as they took flight.

"I can only imagine what Sparx is gonna say..." Cynder chuckled nervously, the dragonfly and her hadn't necessarily been close to each other, considering he didn't trust her since Convexity, she was hoping he wasn't too harsh on her for scaring the death out of him with the two didn't return.

"Yes...one can only imagine..." Spyro chuckled as the two returned towards the city, and expected the crowd they would receive.

Present day

Warfang

"Come on...come on!!" A firery orange dragon stood outside a large house in the city, as he practiced his fire techniques.

"Oh Ash...saying come on isn't going to help" a magenta dragoness stepped outside to watch Ash as he practiced his fire some more.

"Easy for you to say Nina, at least Mom has the time to teach you about your elements, my father is so busy with the Guardians, he doesn't even get the chance to teach me!" Ash retorted as Nina giggled slightly at her brother's attitude.

"Well, for one thing, saying come on isn't going to get that fire breath of yours going, just concentrate...and find your inner spark" Nina encouraged Ash as he closed his eyes and mumbled to himself "find your inner spark..."

Immediately his eyes lit up orange as a burst of flame came from his mouth.

"Huh! I did it! Mom! Come out here!" Ash called for his mother, and low and behold Cynder appeared out of the entrance.

"What is it, honey?" Cynder knelt down as Ash demonstrated his fire breath.

"I did it, all in my own!" Ash let his rush of pride show as he straightened himself in front of Cynder.

"Oh Ash, congratulations, your father is gonna be so proud of you when he hears about this" Cynder smiled as Ash looked upward in confusion.

"Where is father?" Ash asked as Cynder explained.

"Just finishing up some duties with Cyril, he'll be back shortly" Cynder replied as she turned to Nina.

"Now, Nina, I want you to be good tonight, okay? Stay safe" Cynder instructed Nina as Ash turned to his mother.

"What's going on?" Ash asked as Cynder and Nina turned to face him.

"Oh, Nina's going out tonight with some friends of hers" Cynder answered as Ash glanced at Nina with confusion, who were these friends? That was the question Ash wanted answered, there were times he could get a little protective of Nina, they may be twins, but he felt more like the older brother in the family.

"Oh, that's fine then, who are they?" Ash asked as Cynder looked at Nina and beckoned her to answer.

"Just some friends of mine, there are no boys, if your wondering" Nina reassured her brother, Ash was also a little protective in terms of dating, he didn't want any no good dragons hitting on his sister.

"Alright, I think you should rest up, Ash, and get yourself cleaned up, your father will be here any minute, and I want you looking your best when you tell him the news" Cynder instructed her son as the three dragons entered the house.

"Friends, I hope it's just friends..." Ash's thoughts blurred through his head as he sat there in the shower, Nina was good at not giving the highest explanations, and no one cared about it, but he didn't want Nina dating a dragon who didn't respect her, of course, he himself never had any loves in his life...other than grilled lamb for dinner, but he didn't want Nina getting swept off into something that she couldn't back out of before it was too late.

"She deserves only the best, at least by her standards" Ash grumbled slightly as he stepped out of the shower and grabbed a nearby towel to dry himself, he knew better than to interfere with Nina, his dad had tried to when she was 2, and he received a slightly bleeding muzzle, from that point forward, it was one of the few moments of their early years that Ash could fully remember, he then also remembered how special he was.

"I'm the son of the purple dragon, the dragon who defeated Malefor" Ash heard the story from Cynder many times, how his father, Spyro, saved the world by defeating the evil dragon Malefor, and then Cynder confessed her love for him, that part always made Ash cringe slightly, considering he never felt that way, it didn't surprise him when his mother would say "when you find a dragoness you truly love, you'll know how it feels" and Ash still hadn't found that dragones. Ash finally stepped out of the wash room as he heard the door open and a familiar voice say "Cynder! I'm home!" "Dad!"
