(Would you look at that, it's the first chapter of 2020, let's hit the new year with a bang, shall we? Now, enjoy the story)
Chapter 1
The sun was blazing bright down on Spyro's scales as he lay bathed in it's rays, beside him was Cynder, the Dragoness he had pledged to love, it had been months since the incident with Moonwalker and the crystals, and they were just happy to be home, Spyro yawned and stretched, and gazed upon Cynder's form.
"She's so perfect in every way, there's nothing I wouldn't change" Spyro thought to himself as Cynder noticed his shift in position and joined him.
"Going so soon? Without me?" She asked in a seductive way, Spyro never knew how she did it so well, but she was practically able to get him into all kinds of trouble, but it probably wasn't anything he wouldn't do.
"Well, I was going to offer that you come with, but I guess my actions were your invitation" Spyro replied as Cynder stood up and they went to go find their friends, fortunately, they did, and it seemed as though they were all at peace...except Spyro.
"I just hope I can protect them all..." he thought to himself, he remembered the sight he witnessed, that other version of himself sacrificed his life to save everything he ever knew...and if he was being honest, the sight scarred him, he always had vivid nightmares of the incident, only instead, he was in the other Spyro's place, he could see his Cynder crying in tears, alone...and he couldn't move, it was the same experience everytime he had the nightmare. He didn't want to die alone, he wanted to be by Cynder's side, but his first priority was to protect the love of his life.
"So...what do you guys want to do today? I'm bored..." Flame sighed as Spyro shrugged.
"I don't know, it's your decision" he replied as Nero sat up and stretched.
"Well, I for one, want to get on with my day, so bye" he walked off, while Rhea made a sigh of irritance.
"Boys..." she grumbled as she pursued her brother, eventually Flame and Ember also both left, leaving only Spyro and Cynder.
"So, what do you want to do?" Spyro asked his girlfriend as she seemed a little inquisitive.
"I'm not sure..." suddenly the ground started rumbling as the two dragons lost their balance, and fell onto the ground, with Cynder landing on top of Spyro, suddenly, a large blue portal opened up beneath them.
"That doesn't look good..." Spyro trailed off as they suddenly both fell into the portal.
"Aaaaahhhh!!!" Spyro screamed as the two of them seemed to be falling in an endless pit, until finally an opening showed itself, and the two dragons fell through, and landed on the grass below, as they looked up, the portal disappeared.
"Ow..." Spyro groaned as he stood up wearily, and staggered a bit, then moved to help Cynder.
"Are you alright?" He asked her.
"I'm fine, what about you?" She asked in return as Spyro shrugged.
"I'll live...now, back to the important question: where are we?" He pointed out to Cynder as they both looked around.
"I'm not sure, but this place feels familiar..." Cynder trailed off as they saw some sort of structure.
"That's our best bet for finding some answers" Spyro told her as she agreed and the two of them walked on over towards the structure, eventually they reached the building and saw that it was an arch in the ground, the writing that was engraved into the wall was similar to the writing in the Artisan World. Both Spyro and Cynder stepped through and looked around, seeing tons of Dragons.
"This place feels familiar, but something's off..." Spyro pointed out as Cynder nodded in agreement, she eventually rested her eyes on a black Dragon, one that looked kinda like...her.
"Spyro, look" she drew his attention to the Dragon.
"Do you think we're in another universe?" She asked as Spyro shrugged.
"Don't know, but if we are, then chances are that Dragon is named Cynder, stay here" he instructed as he walked towards the Dragon. His gaze shifted between the other Dragons, and the one in front of him.
"Um...hello? You wouldn't happen to be Cynder?" Spyro asked nervously as the Dragon turned around, who was surprisingly broad.
"Yes, that'd be me, but you could call me Cynderon, now what can I do for you?" He asked as Spyro gulped, this was Cynder...but instead was a male, just as he was grasping this, his Cynder walked over.
"Spyro, is this Cynder?" She asked as Cynderon nodded.
"Cynderon at your service" the masculine form and voice took Cynder by surprise as she kept a long stare.
"What...the hell?" She said simply as Cynderon looked at Spyro.
"Say, you look like someone I know...Spyra! There are some odd Dragons over here!" Cynderon called out, causing Spyro to grow confused.
"Wait...did you say...Spyra?" He asked as a Purple Dragoness emerged from around the corner, causing Spyro's mouth to drop in utter shock.
"What were you babbling about, Cynderon? You interrupted my nap" Spyra groaned as Spyro was shaking his head in disbelief.
"Okay, I must be losing my mind or something..." Spyro held his head as Cynder coiled her tail around his.
"It's okay, we'll figure this out, but first..." she looked over at Spyra.
"Who are these Dragons? That Black one looks kinda like you, Cynderon" she pointed out as he agreed.
"and I noticed that Purple Dragon looks like you" Cynderon replied as Spyra seemed confused.
"Who are you?" She asked as Cynder helped Spyro walk up to them.
"Well, first off, this is gonna sound weird, but we're you...from a different timeline...I'm Spyro, and she's Cynder" Spyro introduced themselves as Spyra circled them.
"Your me, but a male...maybe that's why your so...attractive" she said seductively was Cynder growled.
"Back off..." Cynder said defensively as her tail gripped Spyro's much harder than before, Spyra merely shrugged as she walked back to Cynderon.
"What are we going to do about them?" She asked.
"I'm not sure, maybe we should take them to see Ignita" he replied as they looked at them.
"Come on, you two, we're getting some answers" Cynderon had them follow their Gender-swapped counterparts, it was then that Spyro looked over in confusion.
"Wait...did they say Ignita?"
