The Legend of Spyro: Dark Days

Chapter 1

Spyro and Cynder were soaring through the air above Avalon, it had been three weeks since they had defeated Malefore and they were enjoying the peace. Spyro dived at Cynder and tapped her on the back with his tail.

"Tag, you're it!" Spyro laughed and soared past her. Cynder giggled and took off after him.

"I'm gonna get you for that Spyro" she giggled.

"Catch me if you can slowpoke" Spyro said. Cynder put on an extra burst of speed and crashed into Spyro and they fell out of the sky. Spyro flapped his wings, trying to regain his balance but he had fallen too far too fast and the dragons' slammed into the ground. They rolled in a heap of wings, tails and heads as they rolled down the hill they had landed on and they finally came to a stop with Cynder on top of Spyro. Cynder looked around still dizzy until she heard Spyro's voice.

"Um Cynder can't breath" Spyro managed to choke out. Cynder gasped and got off him.

"Sorry, I'm really sorry" she said.

"No problem" Spyro said getting to his paws. Suddenly Spyro's head shot up and he looked over in the bushes.

"Did you hear that?" Spyro asked Cynder.

"Hear what?" Cynder cocked her head.

"I heard a noise from over in the bushes" Spyro said. He took a step forward and Cynder followed close behind.

"It sounded like. . ." Spyro began. Cynder took a few more steps towards the bushes.

"BOO!" Spyro roared suddenly spinning around to face Cynder. Cynder screamed and jumped back, tripping over a tree root and landing in a heap on the floor. Spyro fell over he was laughing so hard and tears were coming from his eyes. Cynder stood up and thwacked him over the head with her tail blade, but he still kept laughing for another five minutes. When he finally stopped laughing and stood up he turned to face Cynder who was scowling at him.

"I got you good, you should've seen your face, it was priceless" Spyro said, laughing again.

"Ugh Spyro you are such a dick!" Cynder shouted at him, hitting him again, this time harder. Spyro flew off and Cynder chased after him still furious at his trick on her. Little did they know back in the Dragon Kingdom a pair of red eyes were watching them through a magic looking glass.

"Soon I will avenge my master, soon you will suffer the pain you caused him" it said. Then it began laughing insanely.

Spyro spent the rest of the day trying to get Cynder to forgive him for his joke, but she just ignored him, even when he made her favourite dinner she still refused to speak to him. When it was time for them to sleep Cynder just walked away from Spyro when he lay down next to her. That night Spyro dreamed of a large white room with bookshelves filling the large room.

Spyro wandered through the vast room and looking down each of the rows, he came to a stop once he reached a large door. He pushed it open with his muzzle and walked inside and on the far side of the room sat a large dragon that looked familiar to Spyro. The dragon turned his head to face Spyro and he smiled at the small dragon.

"Hello Spyro, it's good to see you again" he said.

"Ignitus!" Spyro said. "Is that really you?"

"How have you been young dragon?" Ignitus asked. Spyro ran over to the old dragon and nuzzled his chin.

"I'm so glad to see you again, I've missed you so much" Spyro said.

"And I you, my how you've grown in such a short time" Ignitus said.

"What happened to you Ignitus?" Spyro asked.

"When I sacrificed myself in the Belt of Fire, my spirit was saved and I was chosen to be the new Chronicler" Ignitus said "And when you defeated Malefore and restored the world the Chronicler's job was done, so I was given the title and responsibilities of the Chronicler and here I am"

"So why are you here?" Spyro asked.

"I have come to warn you of a great danger that is to come, you see when you defeated Malefore and restored the planet his newest servant had been exposed to the beam of Convexity and transformed as you and Cynder were, but since no one was there to guide the dark energy she absorbed too much of it, and as a result she has become more powerful then Malefore himself. Spyro you are needed in the Dragon Kingdom, but if you are to defeat the danger you will need even more power then you already have, you must harness the power of your dark side if you are to defeat the threat" Suddenly the room began to fade away, as did Ignitus. Spyro looked around and turned back to Ignitus.

"Wait don't go, I still have questions to ask you!" Spyro called out "Please wait!"

"Spyro" a voice called.

"Huh" Spyro said looking for the source of the voice.

"Spyro" it said, louder now. Spyro began to panic, the white room had totally vanished and he was alone in the darkness.

"Spyro!" Cynder shouted "Spyro!" Spyro shot up panting and scared, he looked around and saw he was in the cave he and Cynder had moved into.

"Finally, I thought you'd never wake up" Cynder sighed, but then her eyes widened "Spyro, what's wrong?" Spyro shook his head and placed a paw on his nose and what he saw nearly made him scream. It was his arm.

It was black and smoking.
