The Days Ahead

As Spyro opened his eyes from his peaceful slumber, the first thing he notices is Cynder's angelic face close to his. Concern and worry can clearly be seen on her face.

"Thank the ancestors. Are you okay Spyro?" She asks.

"Yeah, I'm fine Cynder. Why is it that I'm always the last one to wake up?" He says in reply.

"I don't know. That is pretty strange. But now that your awake, can you tell us where we are?" Cynder asked.

All they see around them is a void of pitch black. "He can't, but I can." Said a man clothed in black robes, holding a book as thick as twelve encyclopedia's.

"Who are you, and second, where are we?" Spyro asked.

"Why, you're in the Dark Realms, where Malefor himself once resided. Now, thanks to you two, he is but a memory." He replied.

"Wait. The Dark Realms. Does that mean were…" Before Cynder could finish, the man cut her off in mid- sentence.

"No. You aren't dead, but close. If you were dead, you would have been sent to Heaven. I am here to give you two a choice. Normally, this would be the Chronicler's job, since I can only deal with non-dragon species. But the ancestor's must really be desperate. Now you both must choose between the chance to either live on with your lives, or pass on to the other side to be judged." He said.

"How are you able to do that?" Cynder asked, a little curious as to how this is accomplished.

"

It is my sole responsibility to read the names of those in my book aloud and send them to be judged, or given a second chance at life. However, hardly anyone gets second chances anymore. So for the very few who do, I offer them a gift. My personal services." He said.

"You still haven't told us who you are?" They both ask in unison.

"I am the Grim Reader, but you may call me Spade."
