A Change in Fate

Summary: When Spyro was fighting Cynder to free Ignitus, something different happened. When Cynder fleed, she captured Spyro as she left. Ignitus, in his weakened state, could not give chase. The only question now is, will Spyro be able to escape, and what plans does Cynder have for Spyro, or are they her choices at all.

Key:

"Talking".

'Thoughts'.

Chapter 1: Imprisoned

His eyes started to open, but his vision was blurry, so with a groan, he lifted his head and shooked it side to side, and looked around. For a moment he wandered how he got into what he guessed was a cell. There were stone walls on three sides of the room with iron bars at the fourth, with a iron cell door.

'Probably locked,' he thought. For a moment he briefly wandered who he was when it all came back to him. His home, his brother being attacked, him finding out who he was, all the way up to him fighting Cynder to save Ignitus. But after that, things was a bit fuzzy, he remembered being carried, Cynder cursing about something that failed, and then after that least he knew his name.

"Spyro," he said it just to be sure.

'Wait where's Sparx,' he thought suddenly and started looking around but there was no sign of him. 'Maybe he escaped, hopefully.' He thought grimly.

Now that he had his bearings. Spyro decided to see what he had on hand to fight with, but after many fruitless attempts, he came to realize that whoever imprisoned him did something to take away his elemental powers. With out those, he had near to no chance to escape. So, after finding nothing else to pass the time, Spyro decided to lay down.

After Spyro counted the scales on his tail for the hundredth time, he heard a noise of a door opening and what sound like a voice, female if he had to guess, say that the guards could stay out side. After that there were foot steps of a four leg creature. Spyro decided that he would face his capturer head on and stood to his full height and put on a face of defiance. But even preparing himself for anything to come, he did not expect what came.

The creature, who he now identified as a dragon, looked what he could only assume as a younger, less agresive Cynder, who looked to be his age, in which case was 12, almost 13. After taking a second look over the dragon, he realized that the dragon was female. Being surprised the way he was, he lost his stance for one of curiosity, with his head tilted to the side, struggling to comprehend what and who was in front of him. And as this was happening, the dragonness in front of him was having her own thoughts as she stood there.

Earlier, when the Dark Master somehow failed to return, although she was glad of this, meaning she would not have to deal with him yet personly, she was released from her restraints that held her in her 'Adult Form' as she called it, this of course was after she returned to her fortress to ring the Fire Guardian gone, as expected, she ordered some of the surviving apes to put the purple dragon, whose name she knew not, into the dungeons for later, and went to see what damage was done to the fortess. Once in her 'True Form', she decided to see if the purple dragon was awake, after all, she never wanted to hurt him. Which was why she took him with her so he would not interfere with anything else which would leave her to be forced to kill him later. In this way, he would be safe, not that she would tell anyone that, not that she could anyhow, seeing as the only one to talk to was apes, and she avoided them into her current form.

As she looked at him, she began to notice that his muscles under his scales, that were tensed for anything to come, loosened upon seeing her. She didn't know why but she liked the way his muscles rolled under his scales, she even liked his form, defiant yet gentle. She thought those thoughts out of her mind with a shake of her head and looked down slightly.

'No, I don't need to think those thoughts, and I definitely don't need to give the Dark Lord anything else to use against me,' she thought with anger towards herself. Looking back up, she saw that the purple dragon was still looking at her with that same weird expression. Getting annoyed by it she growled at him to get his attention.

Spyro was watching the dragonness as she shook her head and looked down, then to look back up and growled at him. Feeling embarrassed for staring, he looked away for a moment then looked back into the she-dragon's eyes and saw that they were the same green as Cynder's, he decided to say something first.

"This may seam rude but are you Cynder's daughter by any chance?" Spyro asked nervously.

The she-dragon only seamed to be amused by this.

"No, no I'm not," she replied with a small shake of her head, closing her eyes, along with a small smile.

"Then if not, who are you?" Spyro asked, now confused, tilting his hand back to the side.

At that, the she-dragon opened her eyes and looked up, and with a calming chuckle, replied once more.

"I am Cynder."

A/N: alright this is my first story but I feel confident in my abilities, so don't hate on me just yet for leaving a clif hanger on the first chapter. Now for all of you who had played the game before (which is more than likely) then you already about Cynder's true form, but in this time period, Spyro does not, so just stick with me. I will try to update a new chapter with in 7 days as will be the same for every chapter, so don't expect them to be too long, but I will try. Please read and review, and I don't care if you hate on me, (haters gonna hate), but if you see something I missed then tell me. Thank you for reading.
