Spyro: RotI pt.4

Any citizens in Warfang that had been injured by the war quickly made their way to the healers, giving Ember more work than she could handle. "Katrina, I need you to search the city and find me someone that can help me treating these people." Ember asked as she tended to a young child that had broken his leg from falling debris.
"I'm on it!" Katrina said as she ran out the door to begin her search. She found Terrador talking to Gravel about how to fix the buildings. "Master Terrador, are there anymore healers in the city?" she asked upon reaching him.
"We had a healer named Messick, but he has retired. Why?" Terrador replied.
"Ember is overloaded at the hospital, there's too many wounded for her to deal with! Where can I find this Messick?"
"On the east side of the city, he lives in a house by himself, single story and white." Terrador told her.
"Thank you master Terrador." Katrina said with a bow before running off/
When Katrina had disappeared a mole ran up to Gravel. "Master Gravel, the apes we took captive have been saying they have a message for you!"
"Take me to them!" Gravel said as he followed the mole.
Katrina found the east side of the city and searched for the house fitting Terrador's description. When she found it she ran up to the door and quickly knocked on it. She was quickly answered by the door opening to reveal a white dragon with red stripes all over his body. "What do you want?" he asked.
"Sorry to disturb you at this late of hour, but are you by chance Messick?" Katrina asked.
"That I am, what is it you need?" he replied.
"I have been told that you are a healer dragon, am I correct?" she asked.
"I was, but I'm retired now." Messick said as he began to close the door.
"Wait, please, the hospital is overrun with patients and our healer can't get all of them!"
"Is that so? In that case, no!" Messick said as he slammed the door shut.
"Please! Ember can't take care of all of them!" Katrina begged.
What surprised her was that the door slowly began to open again. "Did you say Ember?" Messick asked.
"Indeed, our healer's name is Ember, why?"
Messick stood paralyzed before the young cheetah. 'It can't be her, she died a long time ago!' he thought to himself. When he came back to reality he looked down at Katrina and said "I will go aide her!"
He spread his wings and flew to the very familiar hospital, leaving Katrina behind. She sighed and said "more running I guess!" then bolted away.
Messick landed outside of the hospital to see a giant line stretching out of it. He walked past all of them and into the building to see it filled with patients awaiting assistance. He spotted the pink dragoness assisting a guard by bandaging his head. He walked up to her and asked "are you Ember?"
"That I am, if you are injured you need to go to the end of the line please."
Messick couldn't find the words to say next. 'It's impossible, she's here?' "Do you know who I am?" he asked.
Ember looked up to him and said "nope, haven't seen you before in my life. No please get in line like everyone else."
Messick's heart sank upon hearing this. 'It has been a long time, maybe she has forgotten?' "I'm sorry, I am a healer dragon as well, I have been summoned to assist you." Messick finally said.
"Well in that case I am overjoyed to have you here. Could you please start on the next group?" Ember asked as the next family stepped up to him.
Messick did as he was told and aided the next family. They slowly began to lower the line down to only a few dragons. After Ember finished tying the bandage on the last young dragoness she turned to Messick and said "thank you so much for helping me, it would have taken me forever to have gotten through that whole line. I owe you one… what's your name again?"
"… Messick, the name's Messick." He replied.
"Well, Messick, thank you for all of your help, I could always use it more often."
Ember was putting away all of her supplies and was preparing to leave when he said "so you don't know who I am?"
She again looked at him and said "I honestly cannot say that I have, sorry."
"Forgive me in asking, but who was your father?"
Ember thought deeply and said "I don't really know. He died in the war when I was very young. My adopted father never knew him."
"And your mother?"
"She died when I was still an egg. Why are you asking me all of these questions?"
"Because I knew your mother, she was my daughter."
Ember looked at him in shock. "You mean you're my… grandfather?" she asked as she walked closer.
"Indeed I am Ember, surprised?"
She nodded her head and asked "where have you been my whole life?"
"I've been busy a work here, in Warfang. Your mother, she didn't agree to the lifestyles here in the city, so she moved out into that village with your father, Scorch. For several years I hadn't seen her until a messenger dragon told me she had perished. I quickly went out to be there for her funeral when I saw your egg with your father. He offered me to take care of you, but I couldn't, he was your father after all.
"I stuck around until you hatched, but quickly left. The sight of you just reminded me too much of your mother it hurt. I made sure that Scorch was going to raise you properly before I left as well as made sure your name was Ember, like your mothers."
Tears began to form in Ember's eyes as she hugged her grandfather. "I thought my whole family was dead!"
"I'm sorry Ember, I just couldn't bring myself to see you." He said as he held her tightly.
Flame had been watching through the door silently the entire time. He smiled as they hugged and flew home awaiting her return.

Gravel was led to the dungeons where the criminal dragons and moles were held captive. The guide mole led him through the many tunnels until they ended up in a room with a cell containing three apes from the attack. Gravel walked up to them and asked "you wanted to speak to me?"
"Of course, you are the son of Boulder, are you not?" the lead ape asked.
Gravel's mind snapped at the mention of his father's name. "How do you know this?" he asked.
"Because it was your grandfather whom ordered the attack!"

Back at the white island the sun was beginning to rise over the coast and through Ignitus and Icis' window, waking them both. "Good morning Icis." Ignitus whispered.
"Morning Iggy!" Icis replied along with a kiss. When they released from their kiss Icis gasped and said "Iggy! What happened?"
Ignitus looked at himself and said "oh, I just changed back to being the chronicler. I can only do it for one night s I guess time's up."
"That's too bad, I wish last night lasted forever!" Icis said.
"As do I my love." he replied with a kiss. "I better go relieve Spyro of his work, he needs some quality time as…" he was unable to finish due to a loud knock on the door.
After Ignitus opened it he saw Cynder right outside. "Ignitus, one of them is hatching!"
