Spyro: Dark Descendants pt.35

Gravel returned to the village just as the last of the villagers had finished packing. The moles of the village, led by Blink wearing a black suit with a helmet and an air tank attached to it, had each chosen a dragon to ride on. As Blink sat on Spyro's back he asked "you do know I have fresh-airophobia, right?"
"No, that's a little weird." Spyro replied.
"Yeah, I can't be in the fresh air for long, which I why my uncle invented this suit for me. The tank is filled with air from underground. It's a real life saver."
"Spyro, it's time to leave." Icis said.
"Right, guardians, lead the way. I will stay back with Cynder to help her if she needs it."
The guardians nodded and took to the sky with the villagers closely behind. Cynder had trouble getting into the air but when she did she was flying with ease. They flew for a good couple of hours before they reached the coast. "Spyro, I want to rest for a bit before e cross the ocean." Cynder said as she started to slow down.
"Alright, take care of them Flame." Spyro said as he too slowed down.
"I will, don't take too long." Flame said as he continued to lead the way.
Spyro and Cynder found a clearing in the forest to lie down. As they landed blink and the mole on Cynders' back jumped off and ran into the forest to find some food. "I can't wait to see Sparxs' reaction to our egg." Spyro said.
"Yeah, I can't believe I'm saying this but I have missed that little pest." Cynder said.
Spyro chuckled and said I'm sure he will be a good uncle and be a big help when it hatches.
"Just be careful what he teaches it."
"Don't worry, he knows his place."
The two moles returned with a few dead birds. "Sorry, but this was all we could shoot down." Apologized the other mole.
"It's alright, could you guys also go underground and find some crystals? I sense some around here." Spyro asked.
"Gladly." Blink said as they began to burrow leaving the dragon couple alone again.
After a few moments of silence Cynder asked "Spyro, is it really a good idea to bring our child to Warfang where wars will likely continue to break out?"
"…I never really thought about that." Spyro said. "Hm, I guess it would be best if we raised our child somewhere safe, but I also want it to be raised with other dragons, unlike you and I had."
"You're right, it needs to be around others if we want to raise it well. I guess Warfang is the best place." Cynder agreed.
"Then lets finish up our birds and get going, I really want to get to Warfang before the egg comes out." Spyro said as he engulfed his bird.
Cynder giggled and ate hers quickly. A few seconds later the moles returned to the surface with some red crystals in their hands. After Cynder absorbed the energy they took to the sky again.

At Cynders castle Evil Cynder was peparing the portal to go activate the well of souls, again. When it opened she turned to Ciqala and said "Get everyone to the ell of souls and await my return."
"Certainly mistress." Ciqala said with a bow.
Before flying away she turned to a blue dragon she had chained to a pillar and said "you will be the first to die when my love returns." Then flew off.

The guardians led the village to Warfang but stopped when they saw its condition. The city was still intact but most of it was on fire. Fearing that there ere still some apes Flame said to Icis "wait here with the villagers where it is safe until we get back." As the four guardians flew to Warfang.
The main gate was torn down with moles frantically trying to repair it. As the four guardians walked through Gravel asked the nearest mole "are the apes gone?"
"Yyyyes they are." Stammered the mole.
"What's the situation?" Glacia asked.
"Only a couple dozen dragons and moles dead, many more wounded." Replied a much calmer mole.
"Where are the guardians?" Statica asked.
"We have not seen them ever since that black dragoness went up there." Another mole replied.
"Did you see her leave?" Flame asked.
"Yes, with four black crystals and a giant ape killing everything in its path."
"Quickly, to the council chamber!" Statica said as they flew off.
Upon arriving at the chamber Flame was the first to enter. "Mom!" he shouted as he ran to his mother.
He checked to see if she was breathing as the other young guardians did the same with the others. After Flame found a pulse Infernes woke up. "Flame… is that you?" she asked weakly.
"Yes mom, it's me." He replied.
"What happened here?" Gravel asked as Terrador were awakening as well.
"Cynder… did this." Terrador said as he tried to stand up.
"No, that isn't the Cynder you knew, it as the one that Spyro defeated twelve years ago." Infernes said.
"But how is that possible? The only way that could happen is if she was corrupted again." Cyril said.
"It was Demetrius' doing, he also killed Spyro." Infernes said.
"Enough with Spyro dying, I can't take it anymore!" Sparx shouted from his cage.
"Relax Sparx, Spyro is alive." Flame said as he released the dragonfly.
"Really?! Then where is he?"
"He will be here soon enough, but right now the city needs our help." Gravel said.
