Alright, everyone, time for the final chapter! You know, this is always the hardest part, the chapter that closes the story. I always have a lot of trouble with that one last chapter for some reason. Though in this case, I'm free to leave some loose ends for the sequel. Also, the song in this chapter was written entirely by me, but I really don't own anything else except my OCs.

Just for those who haven't seen yet, "A New Dawn Side Story: Broken Wings" is up and its first chapter takes place before this chapter. Reading it is not absolutely needed to understand this chapter, but will help explain some things which aren't completely explained here and address some things. Anyway, here's the final chapter! Enjoy!

A New Dawn

Spyro concentrated harder on his slowly building inner flame and gave a burst of fire breath, lighting a dummy in the training room aflame. "Nice job, bud. But it seems a bit weak," chimed in Sparx, watching from nearby.

Spyro gave a nod. "I know, but at this point; I'm just glad my powers are coming back quicker this time," he replied, concentrating and summoning another dummy in a flash of green magic. "A month is a lot faster than last time."

Sparx nodded with a chuckle. "And this time you didn't even need the Chronicler giving you fainting fits."

"I think we're all glad for that," said Spyro, giving a smirk before blasting the dummy with a stronger gale of flames.

Sparx looked away from Spyro and blinked. "Hey, what's with the claw marks?" he asked, referring to a series of claw marks carved into a nearby wall, as if someone had been slashing away at it.

Spyro blinked. "I don't know… They weren't there last night," he replied, looking at them in confusion. "Same number of claws as a dragon… Cyros was in here before we were, maybe she did it while training…" he continued, still a bit confused as to why, but given what the poor girl had been through; the fact she was training at all was a good sign in his book.

"Are you sure there's not a monster or something?" asked Sparx, looking around worriedly. "It might try to eat me!"

Spyro rolled his eyes before turning back to his own training. As he'd feared, his powers had been depleted by his Convexity Fury and he'd spent the last month, give or take a few days, training to get them back. He summoned another dummy and prepared to try a Fire Bomb, but the door opened suddenly and in ran Demi. "Demi?" asked Spyro, turning from his training. "What's going on?"

"Is there a monster on the loose?" asked the now paranoid Sparx, eyes darting around suspiciously.

Demi blinked. "No…" she replied in a confused tone. She then turned to Spyro. "Your egg is getting ready to hatch!"

Spyro's eyes widened in surprise. "Really?" he asked, but ran off in excitement before she could respond.

"Hey! Wait for me!" yelled Sparx, flying right after him, leaving Demi in the dust.

Cynder stood waiting next to her adopted egg patiently as it set in it's rightful place at the Dragon Temple. Already a great many of the eggs had hatched and some tiny newborn dragons now wandered the temple with their families, some frolicking around this very room at the time under watchful eyes. And that's not all that had changed. Cynder peeked over to two of her friends nearby.

Ember stood next to Pyrus, watching some baby Fire Dragons playing around with a little ball. "They're so cute!" she said, smiling brightly at the infants.

Pyrus nodded, giving a warm smile of his own. "They are," he said, for some reason finding his face getting hot at the thought.

Ember pet one of the babies on the head lightly, then turned to Pyrus. "So, how is your mom doing?" she asked, curiosity in her voice.

"Oh, she's doing good," replied Pyrus, glad for the diversion. Why did the baby dragons they were watching make him get hot under the scales around Ember? Heck, why did just being around Ember do that? Not that it was unpleasant just… He just couldn't understand it. He just felt… Weird, around her, but a good kind of weird. "The therapy is really helping her a lot, though she worries a bit for the Naga back home. I keep telling her I'm sure Kage and Khione can take care of things while we're all here," he continued, thinking back to the Naga and his long time home of Serpent's Edge.

Ember nodded thoughtfully. "Well… I'm really glad you're here…" she replied with a bit of shyness, sneaking her way a little closer to him, rubbing against his side a little.

Pyrus blinked, his face once more getting hot… But he didn't fight it. He leaned back against her as well, though he had no idea why. Ok, maybe not no idea, but he still didn't quite understand how he felt. And Delilah had said to spend as much time with Ember before that wacky Kitsune just disappeared to somewhere two days ago to… Wherever it was a dimension jumping Kitsune disappeared to. Knowing Delilah, she'd pop up when they least expected it.

Cynder smiled as she saw Pyrus lean in as Ember leaned against him. Ember looked her way for a moment and Cynder gave a wink and mouthed "go for it" in response. Honestly, by now the Black Dragoness was certain Pyrus was the only dragon who couldn't see he and Ember were in love. Heck, even Ember's parents and Deadlock seemed to realize it, but hadn't yet said anything. Delilah and Sparx… Well they were betting on which of the two Fire Dragons would ask the other first.

Ember felt warmth spread through her cheeks as she looked back to Pyrus after Cynder's slight hint. She was right, Ember couldn't think of many better times to tell Pyrus before something interrupted them and spoiled the moment… Again, probably Sparx. "Pyrus… Can I tell you something?" she asked in a meek little voice.

Pyrus blinked, looking back at her. "Of course, what is it?" he replied, showing a little confusion as she once again used that shy voice she spoke only to him in.

Ember felt herself get even hotter under the scales but fought back the butterflies in her stomach. "When we're together I feel… Really good. I just feel so warm and fuzzy…" she admitted, feeling her face getting hotter as she spoke. "D-do you feel that way?"

Pyrus blinked, having not expected that. But when he thought about it… "Yeah… I think so… You're always there for me and I don't like being apart from you for long… You're right, it just feels really good when we're together…" he admitted, heat rising in his own face as well for reasons he was actually beginning to understand now.

Ember nodded slowly. "Yeah… Pyrus… Will you, if you don't mind that is… Will you… Maybe go on a date with me?" she asked quickly, cringing at the last part in preparation of rejection. Since having her crush on Spyro revealed to be one sided over a month ago and having her heart broken because of it, that was the single biggest roadblock to her asking Pyrus out. Even if she was reasonably sure he felt the same about her, a blow like that didn't just fade away into nothingness just like that.

To her surprise, Pyrus nuzzled her softly. "Sure…" replied the Naga Prince, surprising himself as much as Ember, his cheeks and hers getting really hot now. "I'd love that…" he continued, giving a small smile and nuzzling her again, this time Ember returned it.

Cynder gave a smile at the scene. She felt happy for Ember. After having her heart shattered before, seeing her with someone who truly cared about her was wonderful. Cynder then turned at the sound of footsteps to see a sight even weeks later she found sad. Cyros walked up to her with a brown cloak covering her back to hide the stumps where her wings had once been. The wounds had sealed, but no one questioned why she didn't want her amputated wings to be shown to the world. "Good morning, Cyros," said Cynder, trying not to let her eyes fall on Cyros' back out of respect. Though she did notice the Ice Dragoness had her guitar with her, the magical jewel having been removed for the time being. Cynder didn't know if that was because the Guardians didn't trust her with it or if Cyros didn't trust herself with it, either where possible.

"Hello, Cynder," replied the Ice Dragoness, seeming no mentally worse for the ware. "It's good to see you again."

Cynder nodded, giving a small smile. "Same here," she continued, then gave a worried look. "How are you doing?"

Cyros gave a sigh. "I don't know…" replied the Ice Dragoness, a bit of sorrow in her voice. "Losing my wings… I know I told mom and Pyrus it was worth it to have our family together again, and it really is, but…" she continued, taking a moment to regain her composure, still having too much pride to let herself break down in front of Cynder. "Not being able to fly is like… I can't even begin tell you what it's like…" she admitted, lowering her head in sorrow, struggling to keep from crying. "At least the therapy sessions are helping…" she admitted, a little embarrassed at mentioning she of all dragons had to take therapy.

Cynder gave a nervous look. "Yeah, I guess that's a good thing…" she replied. Cyros had taken counseling of her own accord when Deadlock had come to get her own. Both were benefiting well from it under an Earth Dragon named Dr. Galen, a well respected therapist. Deadlock had willingly had herself confined to a tower in the temple during her treatment, out of fear she might suffer a relapse and harm someone. Cynder could understand that. She also understood why Cyros would be embarrassed. While she'd reformed a lot, Cyros still had a bit of an ego at times. Cynder couldn't help thinking it was a natural Ice Dragon trait to be a bit egotistical. "Still, at least Cyril isn't writing you off to be Ice Guardian because of it," she added, trying to cheer Cyros up in any way she could. The loss of Cyros' wings had made it far more difficult for her to take the birthright that belonged to her as the sole surviving Ice Dragon from that Year of the Dragon. Even if the Guardians felt sorry for Cyros, not being able to fly was a large strike against her due to how much dragon fighting style required it. Still, her act of self-sacrifice had made them continue considering her because that was a trait a Guardian needed to have.

"I know…" said Cyros, showing a bit of guilt in her tone. "I don't know if I should be glad… I know how much I gave up… But I still don't know if I deserve to be the Ice Guardian after all I've done… I still don't really forgive myself, you know?"

Cynder put a paw on Cyros' shoulder, giving her a sincere, kindly look. "Cyros, I know how that part feels. I felt like that for the longest time… I still feel like that sometimes. But just consider accepting it if they ask you, alright? I know it's hard, but if you let the opportunity go by just because of this, you may never forgive yourself for that."

Cyros nodded slowly. "I know… I'll think about it…" she said in a solemn, halfhearted tone.

Cynder decided to change the subject. "Well… Your brother finally has a girlfriend," she explained, pointing to Ember and Pyrus, who stood side by side, watching the baby dragons frolic and making sure they didn't get hurt, but occasionally seeking a small nuzzle here and there.

Cyros smirked. "About time," she stated, looking to her brother and Ember. "Took him long enough to figure out Ember loved him."

Cynder nodded. She then heard the small squeak of a baby dragon and blinked, looking down at Cyros' feet were a tiny little Electric Dragon jump energetically around Cyros' legs, much to Cynder's surprise. The infant was definitely female in her body structure, built similar to Ember only of course much tinier. She was a vibrant yellow in color with a pair of light blue horns that curled up behind her head, a row of small spines running down her back. Neither the horns nor the spines had grown in fully just yet and were simply little blue nubs. Her tail had a small point, but nothing to show what would grow for a natural weapon. Her wings were undeveloped at the moment, very small in proportion to her body like all newborn dragons, but Cynder could see the same light blue color making up the frames with the vibrant yellow making up the wing membranes. Cynder couldn't help but smile at the little one's face, which was very friendly looking and had a big smile on it. Her big eyes had blue irises and at present were staring right at Cynder cheerfully. The little infant stood next to Cyros' ankle, but was no taller than it.

"Uh, Cyros, look down…" said Cynder.

Cyros blinked, peeking down at her legs before giving a sigh as she saw the infant. "Gosh darn it! I thought I left you with the Guardians while I went to talk to Cynder!"

Cynder cocked her head in confusion at the fact Cyros actually identified the baby. "Cyros… Did you adopt a baby?" she asked in a surprised tone, having never imagined that from Cyros of all dragons.

Cyros chuckled and shook her head, a smile on her face as she reached down to reassure the little dragoness she wasn't mad with her. "Nah. Her parents where killed in Empress Tyrania's attack on the Dragon Temple, so the Guardians were watching her egg since no one had adopted her yet," Cyros recounted, giving a rather somber look, then got a bit of a smile as the baby made a funny face to cheer her up. "Little scamp saw me the moment she hatched and now she won't leave me alone," she said, giving a real smile as the baby stretched to nuzzle her. "She's like a cat, you think you've gotten away from her and boom! She's right in front of you… Somehow…" she said, a hint of confusion in her voice. "So I decided to just let her follow me around; she's not hurting anyone… And I guess she is kind of cute…"

Cynder found this smile contagious and smiled in return. Seeing Cyros smile like this felt good. It was quite honestly the happiest she'd seen her… Well, ever. She guessed having someone who didn't know or care she was missing her wings keeping her company was probably a bit of a relief to the poor Dragoness. Cynder looked down at the little baby. "She is adorable. What's her name?"

"Volt," explained Cyros, lifting her head so the child could see Cynder. Little Volt waved cheerfully with a happy cry, unable to talk just yet.

Cynder chuckled at the cheerful little child. "Glad to meet you, Volt."

Cyros laughed as Volt bounced around excitably at Cynder's reply. "Yeah, she likes to make everyone around her as happy as she can… Comes in handy when you've got as much to cry about as me," she stated, petting little Volt on the head. "Anyway, how about you? When's your egg due to hatch?"

"Today," replied Cynder, smiling down at her egg. "It's began to scratch at the shell, Volteer said that means it will probably hatch some time today."

Cyros put her head to the little egg, hearing tiny scrapes from inside. "Yeah, I can hear it…"

Spyro suddenly dashed into the room, coming to a stop with Sparx on his heels. "Demi told me! Is the egg really going to hatch today?" he asked, excitement clear in his voice and tone as he panted from running all the way here.

Cynder nodded. "Yeah, it should," she replied, nuzzling her excited mate as Demi joined them. "Spyro, this is Volt. She's with Cyros" she said, pointing to the tiny Electric Dragoness to try and get Spyro to calm down some.

Spyro blinked, looking down at Volt, who greeted him just about the same way she'd greeted Cynder, with a cheerful cry and a wave. Likewise, Spyro couldn't help giving a small chuckle. "Why hello there," he said, watching the little infant hop about, looking at everyone excitably.

Sparx looked at Cyros. "You… You got a kid? How did-"

"She's not my kid, just a little orphan who's following me around like a baby duckling," said Cyros in response before smiling down at the child and petting her little head lightly. "Long story… And if you make one quip about me being a bad guy, I'm going to hurt you. Cynder has already told me how you badmouthed her over it. And don't say one word about my wings, got it?"

"Yikes! I wasn't going to!" replied Sparx, flying back in surprise. He then looked to Cynder. "So I'm finally gonna be an uncle, right?"

Cynder nodded. "Yes, Sparx, you will."

Demi smiled, looking to Cyros and little Volt as Terrador joined them, wearing an ornate golden necklace with an earthy green colored jewel. This was the symbol of a Dragon Elder, the position Terrador now occupied with Demi his successor in place. "The birth of your first child is a wonderful thing, young dragons," said the old Earth Dragon with a smile to Spyro and Cynder. "And remember, you've most certainly earned the this."

Spyro and Cynder both gave a happy nod in response. "We know, Terrador," said Spyro in a happy tone with a smile. "It really means a lot to us that-"

Spyro was interrupted as a swirling blue portal burst open a few feet away from Ember and Pyrus, causing everyone to jump in surprise. That surprise quickly faded as a certain five tailed fox walked through the portal seconds later. A new surprise came from the fact she had a pink party hat on her head and was covered in multicolored confetti for some reason. "Hello everyone," she stated, her tone not denoting anything odd about her entrance.

"See, told you she was from another dimension," said Sparx in a smug tone with his arms crossed.

Cynder blinked. "I… I guess you did…" she stated, surprise clear in her voice. "She really is isn't she?" she said, just staring in shock.

"Hi…" said Pyrus a little startled. "How was the… Multiverse wandering?"

"Good, just came from a three day party celebrating the defeat of the embodiment of disharmony," explained Delilah, once more in a really causal tone. "My best friend throws the best parties, but three days straight may have been a bit muc-" she started, before someone on the other side of the portal tugged one of her tails lightly. "Hang on a second," she said, poking her head back through the vortex. "Yeah?… Oh, I'm going to watch my friend's egg hatch…" she explained, the group on this side of the portal only hearing her half of the conversation. She poked her head out and looked over her shoulder. "It is hatching today, right?"

"Yeah… It should be," replied Spyro, watching the occurrence with wide-eyes like everyone else except for Sparx.

Delilah nodded, poking her head back through the portal. "So yeah, it's hatching today and I need to be there… Oh, they're dragons… No, not like your world's, ones in this world are much smaller and nicer… No, I don't think so. I doubt they want a Pegasus from another universe to be there to watch it happen… No, no need to be sorry, it's just a private matter with family and friends; you didn't know… Huh? What?… Oh, I don't know, let me ask," she continued, pulling her head back through the portal and looking to Spyro and Cynder. "Do you mind going to my friends' universe when the baby is old enough and having a party to celebrate? My best friend really wants to throw one for you… Well, she likes throwing parties for everything, but birthdays are important to her. It'll be really fun! And it's safe, I promise! They already defeated the main villain for this year!"

Cynder blinked in confusion, looking to Spyro. "Uh… Should we?"

"I say we should," said Sparx, flying up next to them. "Come on! How often are we going to have a party thrown for us in another universe?"

Spyro gave it some thought, then nodded with an amused smile. "He has a point… And besides, after hearing Delilah talk about that world all the time, I would like to see it myself."

Cynder looked to Delilah. "Sure, we'd love to, but only when the baby is old enough."

Delilah nodded, poking her head back through the portal. "Yeah, they'd love to, when it gets big enough… Yeah, like always; no cupcakes, thanks for asking, Pinkie… Alright, see you gals later!" she called, pulling out and finally closing the portal. "Sorry about that," she said, walking over. "Friendship is a big thing over there."

"It's fine," said Ember, walking over to Delilah. They were used to Delilah… Well, doing things no one except her really understood. "Glad to see you again."

"I'm glad to you see you all too," replied the Kitsune simply as she shook off the confetti. "So, when should that little one hatch?" she asked, smiling… Then looking down as Volt gave her a happy little cry of greeting. "Aww, hi there! Aren't you adorable?" she gushed, looking down at Volt and giving her undivided attention to the infant. "Who's a cute little baby dragon? You are! Yes, you are!" she continued, causing little Volt to laugh happily.

That got a few chuckles from the surrounding dragons. "That's Volt," explained Cynder, unable to keep a straight face with the Kitsune's gushing over the tiny dragoness like she was and making funny faces for her.

"So, Demi, how's your father doing?" asked Spyro, looking to the new Earth Guardian-in-training.

"Oh, he's doing really well," said Demi in her default shy tone, as Delilah continued fooling around with Volt behind her. "He and the others have set up their village near the mountains, they've settled in and started farming and everything. Maybe you can visit them soon."

Spyro nodded with a smile. "That'd be great," he said, as Delilah transformed into various things to get Volt to laugh, presently making funny faces as a pink, fluffy haired pony with a trio of balloons on her flank, but always keeping her five tails, which she seemed incapable of changing.

Cynder nodded in agreement… Then heard a tiny crack. "Huh?" she asked, looking down as the top of the black egg began to crack. "Everyone! It's hatching!" she called, drawing everyone's attention, and Cyril and Volteer from the adjoining room. Unlike Terrador, they'd yet to be promoted to a Dragon Elder and lacked an ornate necklace signifying such. They wouldn't until they'd picked a successor from this new batch of dragons, or Cyril chose Cyros, if he did.

Volteer looked down at Volt as Delilah returned to her normal form. "Oh, there you are…" he muttered, looking to Cyros about to say something.

"No apologies necessary, I know what she's like," replied Cyros quickly, as if used to this situation. "No worries, let's just watch the egg hatch, ok?"

The room grew pretty much completely silent outside of little Volt trying to squeeze past the much larger dragons to get a view, at which point Cyros picked her up and set her on her back so she could see. The cracks spread until a little black snout poked out of the egg shell with a tiny squeak. Spyro and Cynder's hearts raced as the shell finally gave way to reveal the newborn inside. The infant was black scaled, but had a dark blue underbelly as opposed to Cynder's red. It's body shape was clearly female, more like Cynder's only much smaller and, like she had at that age, a much shorter neck. Cynder noticed the baby had similar markings to her own on her hips and head, indicating they were indeed natural markings, though the child's were too light to make out clearly at present. She had four horns on her head, two on top coming out the back of her head and one at each side of her jaw, which were white like Cynder's own, like Volt's were just little nubs at this young age, as where the white spikes down her back. The baby's undeveloped wings were tiny like Volt's, having a black frame with dark blue membranes. She had a very tiny barb extending from her tail tip, which had yet to fully grow into anything resembling a weapon. Her face was streamlined and had a tiny curve to the upper lip like Cynder's, but her face seemed overall more smooth in shape.

The child yawned cutely and looked around with big, turquoise eyes at the big dragons surrounding her. Cynder instantly nuzzled her child, wasting no time welcoming her baby into the world. "Hello, little one… We've waited so long for you to get here," she whispered, getting the baby to give a happy cry before Spyro joined in nuzzling the child. Both had happy tears in their eyes at seeing the precious child who they'd worked so hard to save finally hatch.

Spyro smiled as the child's tiny head nuzzled his snout. "That's right, we went through a lot to make sure you hatched alright… Now you're here," he said, unable to avoid crying with joy at the sight of his baby, Cynder joining him.

Sparx flew down, smiling at his "niece". "So… What are we naming her?"

Cynder and Spyro smiled simultaneously. "Nova," they both answered at the same time.

Little Nova looked at Sparx, sniffing him and then giving a happy squeak. "Hey there, I'm your uncle Sparx," he replied, smiling and softly petting the baby's snout. Despite being a baby dragon, she was still a good bit bigger than him. He looked over his shoulder to say something, only see Volt suddenly standing next to him, staring cutely at Nova. Sparx let out a startled scream and flew back in surprise. "When did you- How did you- You weren't there two seconds ago!" he exclaimed, startled by Volt pretty much appearing out of nowhere.

"Yeah, she does that… All the time…" said Cyros with a confused, but slightly entertained tone. With everyone concentrating on Nova, no one had seen how Volt had gotten there and Cyros hadn't felt Volt leave her back at all. "I have no idea how, but she does it."

Sparx sighed, then looked to Delilah. "Let me guess, you've seen this before?"

Delilah nodded. "Yep, my best friend does it all the time."

"Why am I not surprised?" said Sparx with a sigh.

Volt walked over to Nova, who was only a little smaller than her by virtue of her more petite body type. The two newborns started playing soon enough, tumbling over each other with cute, playful cries. Cynder smiled with Spyro as Delilah went into another fit of gushing over how adorable the babies were. "Looks like Nova has already made a friend…" said Cynder, smiling brightly with joy in her eyes at watching her daughter already having a friend only mere seconds after hatching, using her paw to make sure the two children didn't fall off the pedestal in their playing. She couldn't help getting a bigger smile as she caught a smile forming on Cyros' face out of the corner of her eye.

Spyro nodded softly, giving a smile at this. "A good a way as any to be born."

As the two infants tired out quickly, Cynder pulled Nova close to her and Spyro, the two nuzzling their newborn lovingly. Little Nova gave a contented sigh and cuddled close to them.

"Maybe it's because I just came from a dimension where spontaneously bursting into song is normal, but this moment could use some music, don't you think?" asked Delilah, smiling as she watched everything transpire.

Sparx blinked. "There are worlds like that?"

Delilah nodded. "Yeah… Why does that surprise you? We've had like eight musical numbers in this story!"

"Yeah, but most of them were from the ice princess over there," said Sparx, pointing that out. "Wait… How did you know how many there were?"

Cyros took her guitar out. "Well I did write a little something last night… I guess I could play it if you want me too," she replied, though gave Sparx an angry glare for his "ice princess" comment.

Cynder hugged Nova close to her and Spyro so the infant would feel safe.. "Of course, Cyros, go ahead."

Cyros cleared her throat and slowly began to play lightly, a calm soothing melody.

"Darkness had fallen over all

Everything had been taken from me

A way out I could never see

And into darkness I began to fall…

The darkness took me as its pawn

It had it's hold on my heart

I was lost and knew not where to start

I refused to wake up at the new dawn…

All hope had been taken from my sight

I didn't know what could be done

I believed the darkness had won

I saw no reason to stand and fight

The darkness used me as its pawn

It had it's hold on my heart

I felt I was beaten from the start

I kept sleeping through the new dawn…

But someone caught me by the hand

They pulled me out of the darkness' embrace

They freed me out of my own disgrace

They lifted me up and helped me stand

The darkness used me as its pawn

It had it's hold on my heart

Alone I couldn't find where to start

I refused to look at the new dawn…

I didn't think anyone else cared anymore

But I've seen the error of my ways

And now the light is here to stay

Things will be better than ever before.

The darkness used me as its pawn

It had it's hold on my heart

But with help, I know where to start

I start to awake to the new dawn…

I have a long way to go, that much is true

For my sins I must still atone

But I no longer have to do it alone

My friends will help me start anew

The darkness used me as its pawn

It had it's hold on my heart

But I've been given a new start

I now peek at the new dawn…

The darkness used me as its pawn

It had it's hold on my heart

But never again will it have its start

Now I can't wait for a new dawn…" sung Cyros, her voice soothing and clear as she let Volt cuddle up to her.

Cynder smiled as she listened to Cyros' melody, her and Spyro letting their adopted daughter curl up next to them, slowly but surely falling asleep. "… I can't wait either…" whispered Cynder, smiling down at her child.

Ignitus stood, looking down at the stand before him as, in a burst of light, a new book took form before him, this one black with blue highlights running through it. He opened it to reveal a picture of Nova's hatching surrounded by all those who were present. Ignitus gave a small smile looking down at the picture of his newborn granddaughter. "Another book is written as a new life dawns," he said, watching as the magic that had created this book continued to write words on the first page around the picture. "And so little Nova's first moments are spent surrounded by her loving family and new friends."

Ignitus leafed through the book, only a few pictures or writing showing that which may lay ahead for the young Black Dragoness. "I see bits of your future already forming, young one… But even these things are not carved in stone and you can rewrite them if you so choose," he stated, smiling lightly. "That's the wonderful thing about seeing a new dawn… The day that follows is always what we make of it…"

"And I'm sure the dawn of Nova's life is the herald of a wonderful day…" said Ignitus. "And I can't wait to see that day take shape…" he said, turning back to the first page and watching the letters continue to form on the blank first pages of the book around the picture of the newborn Nova and her loving family and friends…

And we're done! My most popular fanfic thus far, and probably my longest, is now complete. I kind of wanted Deadlock and Drake to show up, but I figured the dragons letting Apes and the former Big Bad with the children would be unrealistic and I had no where to fit in Ember's family here, but they're around somewhere. Thanks to everyone for all the support and reviews! Thanks to everyone who faved and alerted this story! It means a lot! This fic wouldn't have been half as good without you guys! It's been a long time since we first began, and we're finally finished...with THIS story.

Hopefully, if all goes as planned, the trailer for the sequel will be up at the same time this chapter is posted. It'll be called "The Legend Of Spyro: The Falling Darkness", and I'll be updating that with the new chapters as I make them, for now it'll just be a trailer to give you something to watch so you can keep updated. Anyway, thanks to everyone once again! I hope you enjoyed this story as much as I enjoyed writing it!
