HEY GUYS! I AM BACK!

After being gone for almost 3 months and making another successful fic, which is "Legacy of Legends", I AM BACK WITH ANOTHER ONE! I hope you guys haven't forgotten about me throughout the entire time. Sorry for delaying this for a long time, I've been busy with finals and stuff. Sorry guys. Well, there's not much to say really, aside from one thing.

I FEED OFF REVIEWS! WITHOUT IT I DIE!

Well enough chit-chat from me. I think it's time I let you guys read the story for yourselves. But before that, here's a primer for you all. A refresher on the story so far. Feel free to skip it, if you feel like it.

Summary of Legacy of Legends

After the events of the incident at the volcano, Spyro and Cynder find themselves resting, glad to be alive. Deciding that they should get back to Warfang, they do so; however, night falls and they are forced to make a stop, making a campsite at the very place they were at before, with Hunter the Cheetah. This in turn, led them to meeting Zaze, an energetic, cheerful, friendly dragon that had the case of amnesia. Introductions were done, and soon after, Zaze was giving his purple friend advice on how to make his feelings known to his partner.

The next day, they arrive at Warfang, where they were greeted by the three remaining Guardians, along with Sparx the Dragonfly. Excitement soon stirred as the rekindling of hope appears in the form of Zaze. Apparently he was the first dragon they had seen, aside from themselves. The Guardians immediately call upon Hunter to aide them in finding the others.

One week later, Zaze and Cynder happen to make a bet, wherein if Hunter were to appear, bearing good news, the latter were to kiss Spyro. It ends in the favor of Zaze, as the cheetah appears bearing good news for all of them. As Cynder contemplated on how to accomplish her task, Hunter shares with them his findings. The Guardians are surprised to find that many dragons actually survived the war against the Dark Master. This in turn led them to planning a party; a celebration of sorts to welcome the new age of peace. As they get busy, Cynder leads Spyro away to do her consequence. Sparx and Zaze on the other hand talk with each other, the former informing the latter of the dragonfly's relationship with the purple dragon. Braving herself, Cynder attempts to spill her feelings to Spyro, but is interrupted when the purple dragon sees the new comers, flying from the distance.

Cynder stops and decides to just wait for her next chance, as greeting the newcomers was more important. This leads them to meet Pyre, a childhood friend of the Guardians, and somewhat acting leader of the colony that arrived. Later, Zaze finds himself alone and headed to the library. Coincidentally, Volteer was also there. However, Zaze happens to find the Guardian, crying, much to his surprise. Volteer later opens up to Zaze. It would seem that Pyre's mate, Flame's mother, was Volteer's ex. They had history. However, due to him being a Guardian candidate, he was forced to end the relationship. Now, he has resigned himself to no longer put himself out there, in fear of feeling the dread of losing someone. Zaze however puts him out of his depression, and helps the Guardian in gaining confidence. The two develop a close friendship. A little later on, Zaze finds his room messed up completely. He suspects and plans to confront a certain black dragoness about it, at the party later that night.

Much to his surprise however, Zaze was wrong with his hunch. It would seem that Cynder wasn't the one that had messed up his room, as she confirms it at the party. Zaze rethinks his hunch, as Flame steps in, claiming that Zaze and Cynder were together. Crushing the claim down, Cynder asks the red dragon if he has seen the purple dragon. Flame replies that he was last seen with a companion of his, by the name of Ember.

Cynder leaves, looking rather pissed. Flame and Zaze talk, the latter finding out that Pyre seems to want to have Flame find someone 'special'. The two slowly start to develop a good friendship. On the other side of things, Spyro and Ember are chatting and having an all around good time. However things take a turn to the interesting when the latter has a rather odd request. Ember asks Spyro for him to kiss her.

The next day, Zaze wakes up to find more clues in regards who messed up his room: dirt; with nothing much to go on, he proceeds onward with his day. He even sees Pyre leaving, off to find other surviving dragons. At the other side, Sparx is in for a shocker. Sparx, who has finally decided to let go of his indifference to Cynder, is surprised to hear that Spyro had kissed Ember. The dragoness had witnessed this herself and is now trying to dissect the situation.

Moving forward. Zaze and Flame later find some time to chat, with the latter wondering who they'll be learning under, since Ignitus was no longer around. The topic slowly drifts to Ember, where Flame accidentally spills the beans on him liking the dragoness. But due to certain circumstances, he is unable to be with her. Zaze decides to ask why. Meanwhile, Cynder decides to brave herself and confront Spyro, and ask him if he was in a relationship with Ember, due to the kiss she had seen.

Moving back, Flame tells Zaze the reason. Apparently, he believes that Ember has her sights on Spyro, missing him completely. As the latter comforts him by giving advice, they head into the Guardians' Room to find out that there is a competition being held, and the winner will be heralded as the new Fire Guardian. The two immediately head over to see the spectacle. However, they arrive rather late and miss the event altogether. Heading back, they bump into Ember who tells a piece of shocking news. Apparently, Flare, the victor of the competition thus will be the new Guardian, is a she.

Back with Cynder, the confrontation went rather smoothly and things went well. The two soon find out that they've been harbouring feelings from each other, and it just flowed like a river from there. There mate status is sealed with a kiss. As things went fine there, it also is also the same for Volteer. Apparently, Flare was an old companion of his from his distant past. The two take time to catch up with each other.

Going to Zaze and Flame, the former, wanting to help the latter, decides to prove a point. Wanting to prove that Spyro isn't who Ember was looking for, Zaze decides to take her on a date. Much to Flame's surprise, she accepts; point proven.

Terrador and Sparx on the other hand were chatting when the latter wonders how Terrador seems to know Flare. Terrador proceeds to clarify. All the stuff he knew came from Volteer. Apparently the two, Volteer and Flare, used to be partners. Guardian candidates were occasionally sent to do missions, ranging from simple delivery missions to rather complex and not to mention dangerous ones. Terrador was strong enough to hold his own ground, unlike Volteer. The chatting ends as the two parted. Sparx is later joined by Spyro and Zaze. The two are somewhat surprised to find Zaze "hanging out" with Ember, which Sparx translated to as "having a date" with her. The two give him their good lucks. As Zaze leaves, Spyro unwittingly spills the beans onto Sparx. The dragonfly soon finds out that the purple dragon has finally someone.

Ember wasn't fairing the same way however. Zaze breaks to her the news that he came to "hang out" and not to go on a date. Sad, but true; Zaze then decides to ask her if she had a thing for Spyro, his main motive for doing the meet up in the first place. Things get clarified as she states that he likes Spyro, yes, but not in a romantic sense. Zaze then decides to ask his next main question, and that was if she liked Flame. She replies rather vaguely, to which Zaze decides to push, stating to her that Flame actually liked her. However, before he could finish his sentence, a sudden and quite abrupt headache attack washes over him, making him lose consciousness on the spot.

He wakes up some time later, to find himself in a place none other than the Chronicler's Lair, at White Isle. There he is greeted by the new Chronicler, Ignitus. He is told that he has book dedicated to his life, same as everyone else. A thought comes across his mind. He asks if he may read his book, to read about his past life, thus solving his amnesia. He is turned down however, as only the Chronicler has the ability to read the books. He isn't allowed to tell him either, since the Chronicler is bound to an oath of secrecy. No Chronicler is ever allowed to meddle, serving only as the dragon that records Dragon History; such is the consequence for the amount of power. The only reason he appeared before Zaze, is because it was written as such in the electric dragon's book. The Chronicler then continues on, saying that Zaze is the dragon that will save the Dragon Realms from an impending danger. The dragon however, downright refuses, saying that Spyro is the more ideal dragon. Ignitus replies that Spyro isn't capable of doing so, under the circumstances he was in. With all that said and done, Ignitus sends Zaze off, no longer answering the questions of the confused dragon.

The next day, the newly minted Fire Guardian, Flare has her thoughts scattered, as she remembers what happened yesterday. Zaze had appeared before her and quite blatantly told her to just tell Volteer what she felt. The electric dragon had picked up on the subliminal messages and came to the conclusion that Flare liked Volteer. And he was right on the money. She tried to deny it but failed. She had feelings for the dragon. But she couldn't bring herself to tell him, since he was still clearly recovering from the death of his ex.

On the brighter side, Zaze, Flame, Ember and Cynder found themselves entering the Training Dojo. The two males, under a bet, wanted to spar with each other to find out who was the better one. Spyro wasn't around since he had errands to do for Terrador. As Flame prepares himself for the fight, his mind wanders to what he had done yesterday.

He had asked the Guardians yesterday for advice as to what to do. Zaze had become his rival of sorts after all. In the end, he was given advice to settle the score with a sparring match. Victor gets all the spoils. The stuff their bets were made off. And that's why they were doing this match to begin with.

The match begins with the two going all out, to try and incapacitate the other. However things take a sudden twist when Zaze decides to give up, after getting knocked down by Flame. That was his agenda all along. He just took on the bet to give Flame the courage to speak to Ember. Zaze was indeed always the bridge, and never the crosser.

The victory celebration is soon stopped when Spyro appears. A quick chat and a minor slip up later, everyone is soon congratulating Spyro and Cynder, as the news of their relationship, officially, just got out. Moments later, Sparx arrives at the Training Dojo to find Spyro and Flame sparring. All of them sit along the sidelines, eagerly watching the exciting match. Things do get exciting, but not in a good way. Out of the blue, Spyro uses Convexity on Flame. Zaze, thinking quickly, uses his element to jumpstart his body, giving him the ability of lightning speed. This in turn saved Flame from a quick and painful death. They leave, heading immediately to the infirmary, leaving Spyro alone at the Training Dojo.

With Cyril's medical training, they are able to save Flame. Zaze's valiant effort however, had its consequences. Using his lighting speed technique leaves his body twitching afterwards, which was easily cured with a tonic given by Cyril. He remarks that they are running out of medical supplies, and is understaffed. Ember volunteers to take care of Flame in the meantime that Cyril is gone. And with that, Sparx, Cynder and Zaze leave the room, still shaken up by the event that happened.

Deciding to take a breather, Zaze wanders down the hall, heading to his room. He is, however, sidetracked when he happens to stumble into a room. It was unknown to him that he had actually entered the Grotto, where the Pool of Visions resided. Thinking the pool in the middle is for nothing, he leaves, until something actually happened. The pool caught his attention, and he peers into it, only to be bombarded with visions. Zaze sees Warfang, under siege once again, led by a dragon covered in black aura. As he regains his composure, the "dream" he had that involved the Chronicler rang in his ears; specifically, the mention of him being the saviour of the Dragon Realms. Later he confirms his horror, when he asks Volteer what the pool was for. It is then he realizes that what he saw is actually, the future.

But Zaze, being Zaze, decides to keep this to himself for now. He didn't want to outright blurt this sort of thing out in the open. They'd think he was crazy. And besides, maybe he was just seeing things. Changing the topic around, the electric dragon decides to have a chat with the Electric Guardian, wondering why he was in the library in the first place. However, due to a minor slip up, Volteer blurts out something he never thought he'd say himself. He mentions that he actually likes Flare. Things get clarified later on though, as the Guardian tells Zaze that he can't handle a relationship right now. He was still stricken with grief. He was clamming up and shunning everyone out. Zaze talks some sense into him, and succeeds. The Guardian decides to give himself a second chance, and plans on catching up with Flare.

At the infirmary on the other hand, things get happier as Flame finally recovers and wakes up. Ember gets him up to speed and does also another. She braves herself and asks him the question, if he actually liked her.

Outside, Flare stands, bored. She finished all her Guardian duties, and she was completely bored with nothing to do. Luckily though, Cyril arrives and invites her to go with him as he does some errands. The Ice Guardian then proceeds to go to the Gem Depot, a shop that sells the gems that populate the Dragon Realms; a distributor of sorts, with their supplies coming directly from the moles' mines. There Cyril manages to place the order they need, solving the lack of gems they have in the Temple. He, or they, gets this for free, because of an old agreement, dating way back to the time of the Ancestors, between the dragons and moles, as he explains to a puzzled Flare.

Listening to Zaze's advice, Volteer heads out and is soon wandering the streets of Warfang as well. There he bumps into a familiar face, Hunter, along with his eagle, Chase. Inevitably, he crosses paths with the dragon he was looking for, Flare. The two hit off, with the latter feeling happy that Volteer was back to his old, happy, talkative' self again. The happy atmosphere also translated back to the infirmary as Ember nervously waited for Flame's response. The two soon find out that they've been having the same feelings for each other after all and seal the deal with a kiss.

An hour later, Volteer and Flare have been hanging out and overall having a great time. But all good things must come to an end. As they head back up the stairs, heading to the Temple, Volteer braves himself to ask her if she wants to start dating. He gets interrupted by none other than the dragon that Flare fought back at the Ascension Competition, Pyrus. He comes with an odd request. Seeing as learning from your mistakes is the best way to get experience, he asks Flare if she is willing to have him as a temporary student for the time being.

Meanwhile, Zaze is keeping Flame company as he hangs out with him at the infirmary. They talk and slowly drift into a specific topic of relationships. There Flame asks Zaze if he has found "someone", like he found Ember. The electric dragon replies nonchalantly, saying it's not worth his time. A few moments later, Ember and Cyril enter the room. They are informed that Spyro has been reprimanded quite badly for what he has done, and was now doing hard exercises given by Terrador. Later that night, Zaze encounters Spyro, who was looking worse than ever. He asks if he can apologize for him for what he has done. Zaze agrees and watch as the dragon grimaces, saying he's been having strong headaches as of late. Zaze could only watch as Spyro walk away, looking tired as ever.

The next day, news of Flare taking up an apprentice is beginning to spread around the Temple, and its effects were showing on a certain Guardian. Volteer walks around grouchy, trying to deny a blatant fact. He's downright jealous, and just wouldn't admit it. The other guardians however, have their own paws filled as they realize that a special time was beginning to near. It was time to give the "talk" to their fellow young dragons, since most of them haven't received it yet. At the Training Dojo, Pyrus, Flare, Flame and Ember are there, having their first class. Pyrus finally shows his motives as he tells Flare that he actually came because he wanted a rematch, since he lost back at the Ascension Competition; however, Volteer later stumbles upon the two, at the Training Dojo, in a rather…sexual position.

But Volteer just sees the ending of a rather epic fight. Earlier, Pyrus and Flare sparred, both equally giving it their all. But Pyrus won, and coincidentally lands atop of Flare. And in reality, Pyrus is mated and already has hatchlings. But Volteer fails to know that and has his heartbroken completely. Zaze could only comfort the old Guardian.

A little later, a bit of good news sweeps up, as news of Pyre's arrival is intercepted. His mission was a success and has found more dragons that had survived the entire incident. But on Volteer's side, the electric guardian was in pieces. Luckily for him though, Flare arrives in his room, and she clarifies what exactly happened back at the Training Dojo. With truths being spilled out, Volteer decides to spill his feelings for Flare as well, and wouldn't you know it, the two hit off quite nicely. Another successful relationship, brought out about by Zaze's matchmaking.

The next day, many more things happen. Zaze manages to find another piece of clue that he failed to realize before. A clue to case nearly long forgotten; said case was the one about who messed up his room around the time of the party. This time he got the clue of fire. It isn't much to go on, but he made a mental note about it. But the main event was the fact that Pyre had arrived, bringing about many more dragons into the Temple. Two of which, Zaze got to talk to. Alyssa, a healer, and Manuel her younger brother; Cyril actually sought out Alyssa, wondering if she wanted to work at the Temple, since they were understaffed. However, the response he got was a big slap to the face, shocking everyone completely. Apparently, he and Alyssa had history. The problem was, he couldn't remember it.

On the other side, Flame is fairing better than Cyril. He tells the news of him and Ember finally together, and his father receives it quite well, and even gives his well wishes. Cynder on the other hand is also on the same level, as he meets Manuel, and easily befriends him. But a little later, things get a bit out of hand, as tempers rise, as Cyril confronts Alyssa on her behaviour. That wasn't the only thing that was confronted. Zaze too had an encounter, as he sees his door ajar, and wonders if the culprit that had been messing up his room, would finally be caught by him, red handed.

His efforts are in vain as he finds the culprit nowhere in his room. What he does hear however shock him. He hears a scream, coming from outside. Without missing a beat, he jumps out the window and flies to the scene. There Zaze finds himself a dragoness frozen in ice. Manuel and Cynder later arrive to the scene, to help him rescue the poor dragoness.

After a rather near death situation later, they get her out of the ice and back to the infirmary. Her name is Latis, the apprentice of Alyssa. And apparently the one that had attacked her was a black dragon. With the excitement dying down, Zaze gets to snoop around and hears that the issue between Alyssa and Cyril aren't getting any better. In fact it's getting worse. Zaze decides to give the guardian some advice, and talk some sense into him. Later that night, Cyril follows Zaze's advices and talks to Alyssa calmly. That was when Alyssa finally tells the reason why she acted that way to Cyril. Apparently, she and Cyril did have history. They were together for a short time, and even mated. It meant the whole world to her. However, Cyril thought different. To him, it was just one of the many relationships he had as a playboy. And that was why Alyssa hated him. He didn't apologize to her. And now that she actually told him what he had done, he had the nerve to even ask her what was wrong with his actions. This earned Cyril another well placed slap to the face. Zaze hears about this later on from Alyssa, and decides to talk some sense into Cyril one more time.

The next day, he did so. But things got a bit out of hand. After a heated argument, Zaze ended up giving Cyril a punch to the face. But it never came. Latis had managed to stop him in time. However, she equally reprimanded Cyril, after hearing what the argument was about. And she topped it off by slapping Cyril across the face, before taking Zaze to the infirmary. He had developed a cough, and it needed to be treated, before it became worse.

Outside, Cyril is contemplating the recent events that transpired. He just got told off by two younger dragons. He needed to look at what he had done with his life. So he finds himself walking, walking and walking, contemplating if what he had done to Alyssa was truly a bad thing. He even walks into Pyre, who also talks some sense into him. But earlier however, things looked far bleak than Cyril's situation. Manuel and Flare find themselves looking at a dead body of a dragon in the Temple.

Spyro is immediately dispatched, and news of the situation spreads quickly. Cynder, Sparx, Flame, Ember, Latis, and Zaze arrive at the crime scene to find the body. Identified as Kastel, but cause of death was unknown. He was skewered by a metal spike, but that didn't kill him. It was mystery, and it was one that Zaze wanted to solve. Unfortunately though, suspicion falls upon Zaze, as he has no alibi whatsoever out of all of them. But with some thinking, and some time, Zaze deduces who had killed the poor dragon. It should be noted that Cyril by now tried to apologize to Alyssa, but the latter was too busy to talk. Their talk is put on hold.

Kastel's killer was a shocker too all of them.

The confrontation happens at the rooftop, with Zaze accompanied by Latis, stopping Spyro and Cynder from entering the Temple. The culprit was Spyro, but not Spyro. It turned out that Spyro is under the control of Darkness, but not his own darkness. And this darkness seems to know who Zaze is.

However, the Darkness wants Zaze out of the picture, for a reason he didn't disclose. The fight began but ended terribly. They were beaten; badly. Zaze watched in horror as the Dark Dragon tried to finish of Latis. Summoning all his strength, he attacked.

Attacked with the element of Convexity.

Cynder was shocked to see this, but it did the job. The Darkness that engulfed Spyro was gone and he was alive, but out cold. Zaze was in the same condition. The two immediately bring the two some medical attention.

So many questions raced through Cynder's head as she gently carried Zaze's body.

But one question stuck the most.

Who is Zaze the Dragon?

Chapter 1

One Week

All he could feel was nothingness.

He was floating in a black space, going in and out of reality. His memory flashed right before his eyes, giving him vague and hazy glimpses of what had happened before.

He remembered being carried gently on someone's back. A disembodied voice echoing in his ear, telling him everything was going to be alright. But everything felt bleak. His body, mind and practically every part of him ached for an unknown reason. He felt tired. He was slipping in and out of consciousness, the passage of time lost to him. At one point, he felt he was being carried. The next, he was lying on something soft and warm, worried voices echoing around him. Sleep felt good. The voices began to soften as he slowly zoned out. And before he knew it, he was fast asleep, in a deep calm sleep.

He didn't know when he had woken up. But the first thing he felt was something warm resting on his side. Zaze groaned as he came to. His body ached for lying so still. His throat felt dry and his stomach growled as it hungered for food. He opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was a familiar face.

"Zaze!" He was then immediately pulled into a somewhat crushing bear hug. The air in his lungs left him.
"I can't breathe..." he croaked.
The dragoness quickly let up. "Sorry about that."

Zaze coughed and groaned. He looked at Latis, who was wiping her cheeks.

"W-what happened? Were you crying…?"

Latis smiled at him and shook her head. "There was just…something in my eye."

Zaze smiled wryly at her. "Why do I feel like I've been struck by a boulder over and over again…?"

"That's because you injuries mimic it, that's why."

Zaze tried to sit up, to see who had talked, but was quickly, but gently, pushed back down by Latis. She shook her head. "No. You shouldn't push yourself."

"Oh Latis, Zaze can take care of himself," the owner of the voice showing herself. It was Alyssa, the resident medical dragon of the Temple. "How are you feeling Zaze?"

"Do I seriously have to answer that?" Zaze said, raising a somewhat annoyed brow.

"I can take that as an answer. No surprise though, you were badly injured. You were in a coma."

"I was!?" Zaze asked, completely taken aback. "How long was I out?"

"You were out for seven days," replied Latis.

Zaze blinked. He didn't know he was that injured. Immediately, a thought came to mind as the memories came flooding into him.

"How is—"

"Spyro's fine," Alyssa assured him. "He's in a coma like you were though."

She directed their attention to the bed beside Zaze. Right there, resting on the bed was the legendary purple dragon, Spyro. Sleeping peacefully beside him was Cynder. Zaze sighed with relief as he knew the others were safe. He was about to ask how he was, but a sound interrupted him. It was his stomach.

"Looks like someone's hungry," Alyssa said with a smile.

"Yeah…I kind of am." Zaze hadn't exactly eaten for seven days.

Latis looked at Alyssa. "I'll take him to the Dining Hall."

"You go do that. I have to attend to Spyro. If Zaze woke up now, he should be waking up soon too."

The two dragons walked down the halls of the Temple. The first thing noticed was the amount of the dragons in the Temple. As soon as they got out of the infirmary, which was relaxingly quiet, they entered the halls of the Temple, which was completely the opposite. Looking left and right, dragons of all colors were everywhere. Males were chatting with females. Some were carrying books, looking rather busy. Others were just downright laughing and having a goodtime. It was an atmosphere you'd normally see in school.

"Why are there so many dragons?" Zaze asked, as he walked close to Latis.

"Oh that's right. You've got a lot to learn Zaze," replied Latis, looking at him.

Zaze smiled. "Would you like to inform me?"

Latis smiled. "Well, while you were under, a lot has happened. For one thing, school officially started. As in, enrolment for students has begun, and the dragons you see here will probably end up being our classmates at some point."

Zaze nodded. "I see, but I don't get it. This is a Dragon Temple and all, but didn't we just get attack by a Dark Dragon?"

Latis shushed him quietly which he quickly understood. "I know that. Everyone who was in the Temple that day knows. But the Guardians opted to keep it all under wraps."

"Why?"

"Because we don't want to cause panic."

"Panic? Why would there be panic?"

"Because, don't you see? The dragon population is still recovering from the battle with the Dark Master, Malefor. And you know that Dark Dragons are associated with dragons like him. It's not that hard to suggest that maybe he's still alive and made the Dark Dragon that attacked us."

"Ah…I get it. Some may not believe us when we say it was actually Spyro that attacked or, more specifically, the darkness that existed in him."

"Yeah; but we have informed a few select individuals. Pyre and Chief Prowlus."

"Understandable."

"So yeah, keeping it under wraps, we continued on as normal, and to our surprise more and more dragons began to arrive. And before we knew it, enrolment began."

"And this is all happened while I was under?"

"Yes, while you two were under."

"I guess I missed a lot, huh?"

"You did."

The two soon arrived at the Dining Hall. The place was bustling with activity, as dragons were there, busy chatting and eating. None of which paid any heed to them whatsoever as they entered. Grabbing their food, they seated themselves at one of the free tables and Zaze finally got a taste of food, after a long time.

"Is that who I think it is…?"

"Wait…that's…"

"ZAZE!"

Zaze turned around to find a familiar red dragon. It was none other than his good friend, Flame, followed by an ice dragon by the name of Manuel. Flame immediately went up to Zaze, and hugged him. Manuel just proceeded to smile and look at him.

"They never told us you woke up already!" Flame said.

"You definitely look better than usual," said Manuel.

"Easy guys, he just got out of the infirmary. The way you're squeezing him, Flame, will probably end up with him going back there," said Latis.

Flame just smiled jokingly, letting go of Zaze who just stared at him.

"You know you're lucky," remarked Flame.

"Huh?"

"You are one lucky dragon for surviving an encounter with the Darkness. If Latis and the others didn't get you medical attention fast enough, you would have died," said Manuel.

"Speaking of Latis, has she told you yet that she didn't leave your side during your one week coma?" Flame said, looking at Latis. The dragoness immediately blinked, seeing Zaze turn to face her.

"You did?" Zaze asked. He didn't expect that from her.

Latis smiled sheepishly. "Well, that was part of my duty, being a medical dragon and all. I had to make sure you were safe, along with Spyro."

"Thanks for that, Latis," he replied.

"So Zaze, did you hear, classes are going to start?" Manuel asked.

"I did…and I'm not really looking forward to it," he replied.

"Why not?" asked Flame.

Zaze sighed, and dropped the piece of fruit he was eating. "Well, why do we have to study?"

"What do you mean?" Latis asked.

Zaze elaborated. "I mean, why do we have to study? All we need to know is to learn how to hunt, to fly, and to master our elements to survive. What's the point of learning other stuff, like history and stuff?"

"Well Zaze," a voice answered. "The main reason why we dragons should go to school is for us to learn. Learn all the stuff you said, and then some. It is important for us to know dragon history, as it is a sign of respect to our ancestors, and to prevent ourselves from making the same mistakes that they did."

The four dragons turned around, to find the Guardian of Electricity, Volteer, smirking at them.

"Volteer!" Zaze exclaimed, looking up at him.

"Nice to see you too, Zaze; I do hope you're feeling better now."

"I'm peachy," he replied.

"Since you know that school is back on track, I do assume you also know of the current status of your lodging?"

"Lodging? What do you mean?" Zaze asked.

"I guess not," said Volteer. "Well Zaze, due to the sheer amount of students enrolling, we had to group them for lodging."

Zaze just stared at him, not really understanding it. "He means we'll be rooming with each other for the duration of our stay here. Some can choose to live here throughout their entire time studying whilst others can leave after their classes." said Flame.

"Oh! I get it," said Zaze. "Who will be my roommates?"

"Spyro," replied Manuel. "I for one will be rooming with Flame."

"And I will be rooming with Cynder and Ember," replied Latis.

"Wow, we all seem to be together, isn't this supposed to be like random?" Zaze asked, turning to Latis.

"It is actually," said Volteer, lowering his voice. "But a little bias never hurt anyone."

Later, Zaze and Latis walked down the corridor and into the Temple Grounds. The place was surprisingly quiet, with only a few dragons hanging about. It was definitely peaceful here, compared to the indoors.

"You wanted to talk?" Zaze asked. Earlier, after they ate, Latis had asked Zaze to go somewhere private.

"Yes," Latis said, turning around to face him. The two stopped under the shade of a tree. "You remember what happened back at the rooftop?"

"The fight?" Zaze asked.

His brain was working fine now, and he could easily access the memory. And there were a lot of them. With just one word, images began to flash in his head: Spyro turning dark, becoming the Dark Dragon that they fought; The Dark Dragon seemingly knowing who he was; them fighting it out with all they've got; and even the image of Latis' face as death nearly grabbed her by the claws. The last one seemed to be engraved in Zaze's head. He never ever wanted to see Latis in that situation again.

"Yes, the fight. Listen Zaze, do you remember what you did to beat the Dark Dragon?" she asked.

"Uh…" The memory was hazy, but it was there. "I remember using a strong element…I think it was…"

"Convexity," said Latis. The word seemed to hang in the air ominously. Zaze looked discomforted.

"Was it really…?" Zaze asked, trying to wrap his head around it. Of course any dragon would have a hard time trying to understand it. No other dragon, aside from the Purple Dragon and, for a special case, Cynder, was able to use Convexity.

"I saw it myself. If I hadn't, I wouldn't have believe Cynder when she told me a while later. Don't worry Zaze, we haven't told anyone yet. That's why no one seems to be asking you about it. The only dragons that know about your…secret, is me and Cynder."

"Thank you…" said Zaze.

"Do you know how you did it?" asked Latis.

"No…not really; I just…I just wanted to save you…badly. I didn't want you to die. I don't want anyone to die because of me." Latis blinked, hearing Zaze. "And I just kind of…pushed myself I suppose."

"Well Zaze, thank you. Without you, I wouldn't be here right now." Zaze smiled. "Does this jog your memory somehow?"

"No…still nothing. I still don't remember who I am. And my new found…ability, doesn't help either."

"Speaking of which, I don't think you should use your new ability as much."

"Why?"

"I think that's the main reason why you were in a coma. Our analysis shows that your body had internal damage. And we both know that all we got from that fight were external injuries: Cuts, wounds and bruises, nothing more. I think your body can't handle the element."

"I'll make a mental note of that," said Zaze. "I guess I'll only use it, when I really have to use it."

"Okay, that's a promise then. I can't really say for sure what'll happen to you if you do it again," said Latis.

"Yeah…maybe it'll be worse than being in a coma."

Latis looked to the side when she saw someone approaching them. It was clearly evident as to who it was, when everyone else that was at the area stopped doing what they were doing, and turned their heads. It was none other than Spyro and Cynder, the purple dragon leaning on Cynder for support. Zaze smiled as the two stood in front of them.

"Well you definitely look better," said Zaze.

"I can say the same for you," said Spyro.

"How are you feeling Spyro? Especially after being in a coma just a few moments earlier." Latis asked.

"Peachy," replied Spyro. "I feel like I've been hit by a boulder."

"What are you doing up and about walking anyway?" she asked him.

"I told him to wait until he was better, but he insisted," said Cynder.

"I came here to thank you Zaze, and say sorry to you Latis," said Spyro.

"Thank me? For what?" Zaze asked.

"My memories are hazy, but there here. I saw what I did to you guys," said Spyro. "Which is why I am saying sorry to you Latis; I promise I won't ever do that again."

"I understand Spyro, you weren't yourself," said Latis.
"Yeah Spyro, no big deal," said Zaze.

"Especially you Zaze. Cynder has informed me to keep this between the four of us; you know, you being able to use you know what," he said.

Zaze just chuckled nervously. "Even I myself don't know how I did it."

"Nobody does," said Cynder. "But it's helpful to know that it's there."

"I'm guessing you probably know what's going to happen now right?" asked Zaze.

"I'm excited actually. I've never been to school."

"Good for you," said Zaze. "By the way Spyro, do you snore?"

"No Zaze, I don't. Do you?" Spyro counter-asked, already being filled in with the whole lodging situation.

"No."

"Then were all going to be fine then. This should be interesting."
