2 Worlds, 2 Spyros ch1

~Chapter 1: The Upcoming Anniversary~

It has been over a year since the fall of the dark master, Malefor. His defeat was at the paws of the legendary purple dragon, Spyro, and the ex-terror of the skies, the black dragoness, Cynder.

Spyro and Cynder were staying at the dragon temple with the guardians. The ice guardian, Cyril, the electric guardian, Volteer, and the earth guardian and leader, Terrador. But the temple had an ominous emptiness without the fire guardian, Ignitus, who has sacrificed his own life to ensure Spyro and Cynder safe passage through the belt of fire to destroy Malefor.

It was mid-day and it was peaceful outside without the threat of the dark master. But inside the temple, things weren't so peaceful. Spyro and Cynder were arguing with Terrador, "No! There's no way!" Spyro snapped, arguing with Terrador in the main corridor, "And there is nothing you can say or do that can change our minds!"

"But the two of you can't stay locked up in the temple for the rest of your lives," Terrador returned the argue, "Think of how much you'd be missing out on."

"Well out there we'd be missing out on our lives anyway," Spyro said, "And we have two reasons why. The first reason is my fame. I wouldn't be able to go anywhere without a thousand dragons crowding around me wanting my autograph and things like that."

"And the second reason is my infamy," Cynder added with her head hung low, "I wouldn't be able to go anywhere without being criticized or ridiculed." Cynder was now beginning to cry, "I've even gotten death threats! The only reason noone has tried to kill me yet is because of Spyro!" Cynder then began to sob. Spyro wrapped his wing around her to comfort her.

Then Volteer joined in, "What if we were to construct the two of you your own place of residence?" Volteer said with his quick-tongued speech.

"Then instead of being locked away in the temple, we'd be locked away some place else instead," Spyro commented.

"That is why we've built it in the Valley of Avalar," Terrador said, stepping back in.

"Yeah. It is much more secluded there," Spyro said, thinking over the idea, "And the Avalarians wouldn't be all over us like the citizens of Warfang would be. And very peace..."

"Wait, what did you say?" Cynder asked Terrador while interrupting Spyro. The wording that Terrador used caught her attention.

"That's right, Cynder," Terrador replied, "Your new home is already being built."

"We know that the announcement of your upcoming celebration is a little premature," The long winded Volteer said, "But the construction of your new home is our anniversary gift to you."

Spyro and Cynder had almost forgotten about their anniversary that was coming up in a week. It has been almost a year since they went through the ritual of bonding, "Oh, thank you!" Cynder said with a smile before kissing Terrador on the cheek, "That's so sweet of you!"

"You should be thanking Hunter for much of the planning," Terrador said as he returned the smile, "He is the one who chose the location and has done most of the construction."

"I haven't seen Cyril around much lately. Is he involved with the construction as well?" Spyro asked, "And how soon can we see it?"

"Yes. Cyril has been supervising the construction of your home," Terrador answered.

"And knowing the all 'high and mighty' egomaniac that he is, that's probably all that he's been doing," Spoke a golden dragonfly that came through a door that Spyro and Cynder knew all too well.

"Sparx!" Spyro said as he walked over to his foster brother, "When did you get here?"

"Well, I heard through the grapevine that there was going to be a party," Sparx said, "So I came here to make sure that the evil she-dragon doesn't ruin it," Sparx added, teasing Cynder.

"I've told you several times before to STOP CALLING HER THAT!" Spyro snapped at his brother to defend Cynder's honor.

"Woah, calm down, bro," Sparx said as he backed off and held his arms up in defense, "I was only joking."

"Yeah, Spyro," Cynder said, "He's just an annoying little glow-stick after all." Cynder then gave Spyro a peck on the cheek, which made his heart melt. Then he returned the favor with a more heartfelt kiss.

Cynder and Sparx have settled their differences long ago and have even become somewhat like friends. They still teased each other, but only in a playful manor. But it still bothered Spyro when Sparx called Cynder 'evil she-dragon'.

"It should be alright if we go see your new home," Terrador said, "So let's be on our way."

Suddenly, there was a growling heard from out of nowhere, "Uh...can we have something to eat before we go?" Cynder asked.

Spyro had a confused look on his face, "But Cynder, we just had lunch," he said.

"I know," Cynder said embarrassed, "But I'm still hungry."

"Fine," Terrador said, "After Cynder eats, we can be on our way."

After eating a second lunch, the two guardians and Spyro and Cynder left for the Valley of Avalar to see their new home. Sparx on the other hand had left to go visit his parents.
