Spyro - DoD - Ep. 3-2

Episode 3 -  Part 2: Changes and Secret Relations


Present

"You know what, Hunter." Spyro whispered as he looked at him. "I am scared. For the first time in my life I am scared. These new powers still scare me even though I have had them for two weeks now. What am I going to do?"  Spyro looked back down at the table and Hunter put his paw on Spyro's left shoulder.


"Spyro, I think it is time to tell them the truth of what happened to you at Dragon Shores."  Spyro looked at Hunter and then looked down the table at his gathered friends. He then looked back at Hunter and nodded yes.

Avalar - Summer Palace - Day Earlier...


A faun stood in a large clearing outside the palace walls. She was putting on a performance for her two friends, a bunny and cheetah. I hope I don't mess up.She thought to herself as she begun...


Hunter and Bianca, her two friends watched as she excuted a complex combination of magical rountines and agile flips through ice rings she made with her magic. As she did her moves she thought back to what she had seen and heard earlier.Ember loves my dragon. That little pink powder puff thinks she can take what is rightfully mine. I'll show her just how wrong she is. No one takes what is mine. NOBODY!As she thought this she finished her routine and looked at her small audience. Hunter and Bianca smiled at her as she bowed and walked over to them. "How did I do, guys?"


Hunter stood up and helped Bianca to her feet before patting Elora on the shoulder. "Excellent! You did excellent, Elora. I am sure Spyro will be very happy to see you." Elora frowned and dropped her head and Hunter cleared his throat. "Ah, maybe I shouldn't have said that. I know how you feel about Spyro. Ember..."


Elora growled. "What about that pink powderpuff of a dragoness? Say it! What about her?" Hunter frowned and started to back away but Elora grabbed him and held on tight. "WHAT... ABOUT... HER?!"


"Can't... breath... here... u... are... choking... me." Hunter gasped as Elora held on to him tightly and shook him like a wet rag. "Blacking... out... very... soon."


"Elora, stop it! You are hurting Hunter." Bianca said as she touched her friend's tense shoulder. "Let's talk about the problem instead of killing my soon to be husband. Okay!"  Elora looked at Bianca and sighed letting go of Hunter in the process. "Hunter, darling, are you okay."


Hunter coughed and gasped as he slowly took deep breaths to keep from passing out from the temporary lack of air. He gave her a thumbs up as he kept taking deep breaths. Elora dropped her head in shame as she said, "I am sorry, Hunter, I had no right to do that to you. You were only trying to help me." Having caught his breath Hunter looked at Elora and smiled.


"It's okay, I know how you feel. I shouldn't have brought up Ember and your feelings about Spyro."  Elora nodded and help her friend to his feet. Once up he looked over Bianca and nodded. "Ready to head to the Dragon Realms?"  Elora and Bianca nodded as he checked his carrying bag. "Uh oh, I think we are missing someone."


"No we aren't, Sparx said that he was going to go ahead and meet us there. Besides, I think Spyro will very surprised to see us waiting for him in Nestor's home. Speaking of Nestor, Elora, where is he and the other Elder Dragons?


"I believe they are in a meeting. You do know that Elder Red is missing from his jar in the Professor's lab, don't you?"  Hunter and Bianca looked at each other and frowned at this revealtion.


"No, we hadn't heard that he had escaped from his jar. Elora, how could he? I mean he was so tiny that even Sparx and his dragonfly buddies could beat his but."  Bianca said as Hunter laughed at the picture that formed in his head.


"No one knows because it happened during the night and the lab wasn't disturbed. It was as if someone..."


Hunter frowned and looked at Bianca and nodded. "As if someone portaled into the lab, took Red from his container and then left the same way they came in. Is that what you were going to say, Elora?" Elora looked at Hunter and Bianca and nodded.


"Wait a minute, what are you saying, Hunter? Who do you think could have done that?"  She asked and Hunter turned and started to held for the nearest Avalarian Portal. "Hunter, wait! What is it? What's wrong?"


"I'll tell you later, Elora. Right now we have to get to the Dragon Realms. Spyro has to be told this at once. This might be the first sign of a much bigger problem. I hope not but then again... I think its better to be safe then sorry."  Hunter said as he turned and started walking toward the nearest portal. "Well, come on guys. Let's go!"  Elora and Bianca followed and together they left for the Dragon Realms.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unfortunately, they didn't notice a Black Dragoness watching them from the shadows as she opened a black portal. "Foolish, young ones, you have no idea what awaits you. Enjoy your last days of freedom, because soon.... very soon you will lose that freedom forever. Soon we, Shadow Dragons will rule all realms."  Ryua said with a laugh as she stepped through a black portal. A second later, the black portal vanished leaving only a small trace of dark energy that a young white dragon picked up.


The young male Cloud Runner frowned as he flew overhead. "I must tell father of this development. The Shadow Dragons are on the move again and fear that what they are planning this time might be something none of us can handle. I only hope that my father has luck in finding this Dragon of Destiny."  He said as he closed his eyes feeling the energies around him. As he focused he turned his large slender body to where the energies were the highest. He opened his eyes, gestured with his clawed paw and a white portal opened. He looked around Avalar one last time and then he entered the portal closing it behind him as he did.
----------------------------------


Next Morning...


Spyro and his friends were all gather around the long dining table in the kitchen eating breakfast and passing notes and knowledge around about last night and the events that had happened two weeks back on Dragon Shores. Hunter, Bianca and Elora told Spyro what they had learned about his change and that had been nothing. During their meal, Tobin, a young green Peace Keeper dragon who was best friends with Spryo, showed up and took a seat at the table. Hunter was just finishing his recount of the events that happened on Avalar as Tobin sat down and joined them.


"So after that happened we came here to wait on you, Spyro. Oh, by the way we found Sparx and he wasn't too happy when we saw him. He said that you forgot to go pick him up at Dragonfly Falls in your hurry to get back here."  Sparx flew out of Hunter's new jacket pocket and gave Spyro a look that said, 'You are so dead, pal!'


Spyro noticed his dragonfly's look and rubbed the back of his head with his right paw in embarrassment. "He he, sorry about that, Sparx. I really am. I didn't mean to forget you like that I just.... Okay, maybe this will show you how sorry I am. I got these this morning for you." Spyro opened his left paw to reveal five butterflies and seeing this Sparx smiled and began chasing them chomping them down one by one. As soon as he finished he started fluttering around Spyro kissing and hugging him as he did.


"Thanks, for the breakfast, partner."  Sparx buzzed.


"Your welcome, buddy."  Spyro said with a smile before he turned his attention away to look at Hunter and Bianca. "Now, let me get this straight, Red is free. When did this happend?"


"It happened two weeks ago." Blink said as Spyro and the others looked at him.


"Two weeks ago, I was fighting Reeco on the beach at Dragon Shores. I even died there and came back somehow. This must have happened during the fight. Blink, was there anyone nearby who heard anything?"


"Excuse me, I hate to cut into this important conversation," Tobin said as he gave Spyro a serious look. "but, we have a major problem. Me and Amanda did as you asked, Spyro. We went back to Dragon Shores and checked the location where Reeco appeared."


Spyro frowned and nodded. "Hold on, Blink we'll get back to what you were saying soon enough. Well, Tobin what did you guys find out?"  Tobin frowned and pulled out a data displaying device.


"You won't like it, but we found out this..." He turned on the device and a holographic 3d map appeared in front of everyone at the table displaying the Trans-Realm Portal Network. "From what we learned, Spyro, me and Amanda were able to pinpoint where Reeco came from. It is the Shadow Realms." Tobin touched the holographic display with a claw. The display changed and showed dark lines. "These dark lines are part of a secret Shadow Dragon portal network. See anything strange?"


Spryo looked at the map and then at Tobin. "That location is the exact same exit point at Dragon Shores as the normal portal system link. But how is this possible?"


Tobin touched the image again and as he did it changed showing the network lines changing directions over and over. "This is the current portal feed we have. This is what the portal network looks like currently. Me and Amanda checked the magical database and learned that the portals have been mulfunctioning for the last five plus years."


"Five years!"  Hunter said as he rubbed his chin in thought. "Wait a minute, five years ago was around the time Red was banished from the Dragon Elder Council. Am I right?"


Tobin smiled. "Yes, you are indeed correct, my friend. Red was tossed out five years ago because of his Dark Gem research. The other elders, including my father, Titan, and Ember, your father Nestor thought he was risking the safety of all the clans so they had the research stopped."


"Let me guess, Red didn't take the announcement that he was to stop all Dark Gem research so well."  Ember said as she looked at Tobin.


"Your assumption would be correct, Ember, Red didn't take it well. In fact, from what I remember, since I was present in the council chambers at the time, Red called the elders, 'Old fools who only wanted the clans to live forever in the past and never advance into the future.'"


"Was that all Red said, Tobin?"  Spyro asked as his friend sat back in his chair.


Tobin smiled and said, "No, Spyro, Red said some other things that made my father get up from his chair and knock his lights out. That was the funny part seeing Red bad mouthing the other elders and getting knock out cold. My father asked the council to forgive his rash behaviour but Red was acting like the stuck jerk he had always been and that he was doing everyone a favor by removing the jerk from the table. Red was then dragged out of the council which kinda proved to be ironic because he was later voted out of the Elder Council by every single Elder, including my father who had rather a big grin on his face as he cast the final deciding vote."


"Ouch, that had to hurt. Tobin, are you absolutely sure that every elder voted against him?"  Spyro asked. Tobin nodded. "Voted out with unnamious vote by your own peers has got to really suck big time. Was Red present to hear the vote be given?"


"No, not exactly, Red was still out cold on a big couch in the main hall. Like I said before, Spyro, my father knocked him out. Trust me when Titan knocks you out you stay out for a while. Also, Red has a glass jaw and even your mother Sandra aka Mrs. Shoutfire, Ember, could have knocked that loud mouth excuse for a dragon elder out cold for a few hours. I have to admit though it was funny seeing Red's expression when he woke up and saw all the other elders standing around him."


"Let me guess my mother gave Red the 'bad news'. Right?"


"Yep, leave it to our old teacher to give Red a send off he probably never has forgotten."  Tobin said with a grin. "Man, your mother sure knows how to rub salt into a wound. She told Red that due to his arrogance he had been voted off the council. Red had snapped and slapped your mother in the face.


Ember frowned. "He did that? Oh, boy, he really screwed up bad."


"What do you mean, Ember?" Blink asked. Spyro groaned and Tobin, Flame and Ember all laughed at their friends obvious discomfort.


"What she means, Blink, is that no one hits her mama and gets away with it. Sandra has a rather nasty temper when you make her angry. Believe me when I say I know that what Red did was definitely the wrong action."  Spyro said as he fidgeted nervously in his chair.


"Yeah, Spyro knows that because he always was getting his scaly but whipped by Sandra nearly every single school day. I am surprise he still has a tail considering how many times he got it kicked by her. In fact, all of us ran betting pools every single day to see what trouble Spyro would cause on that particular day to get a but kicking from Mrs. Shoutfire. She earned that name from yelling at Spyro everyday. She was relentless. In fact, I remember she kept telling Spyro that no matter how long it took she was going to beat some common sense into his hard head. Apparently, it didn't..."  Flame said with a grin.


"Okay!" Spyro said as he cleared his throat, "I think we have strolled too far down memory lane and now we need to come back to the present and discuss our current problem."  Spyro turned and looked at Hunter and his other laughing friends. "Stop laughing at my past. There is nothing funny about getting a beating from that..." Spyro shivered as he thought of his old teacher. "Woman! She was brutal but she did have a point I do act reckless at times and for that I have paid the price many times."  All of Spyro's dragon friends looked at him with wide eyes and mouths. "WHAT?!"


"Oh nothing, we were just surprised to hear the great Guardian Dragon himself admit he regretted the times he acted reckless." Tobin said with a grin on his face. Spyro frowned and pointed to the holographic display. Tobin laughed and said, as he cleared his throat, "Okay, let's get back on track. Like I was saying before we took a slight trip down memory lane."  Flame giggled and was promptly slapped gently in the back of the head by Spyro. "Red got K'Oed by Sandra and she and some of the other female elders tossed his but out the door. Although, in my opinion, it looked more like they first kicked him where the lights don't shine before tossing him out because I recall hearing him later groaning in pain outside."  As Tobin said that all the males in the room groaned in phantom pain as they thought about that. The females in the room just smiled at the obvious discomfort. "Okay, after that happened, my father had some of the other Peace Keepers keep an eye on Red. Good thing he did because we learned where Red was getting his supply of dark gems from."  Tobin tapped the holographic display point with a talon that read: Shadow Realm.


Everyone in the room went quiet for awhile. "But if that is true, how did he get the dark gems by the portal guards. I mean the guards would have seen Red or a shadow dragon coming and going."  Blink said as everyone looked at him. "Well, wouldn't they?"


"Unfortunately, Blink, they wouldn't have because Red didn't use the main network. He used the Shadow Dragon's dark network. Remember what Tobin told us earlier about the network malfunctioning. I remember during the time we were fighting Red that all us had to use your uncle's gadgets as substitute Realm travel devices. By the way, tell your uncle that the rolling ball transport was fun but it gave me a headache. Anyway, I believe that the main network was being hijacked by Reeco and other Shadow Dragons for their plans."  Spyro said.


"But when we stepped in and defeated Red it must have thrown a major wrench into their plans so they gave up on those original plans and moved on to their back up plans."  Hunter said. "It makes perfect sense. I wouldn't be surprised if Reeco had back up plans."


"But what was their original plans anyway?"  Blink asked as he looked around the table at his friends.


"I believe that Reeco was using Red just like Red was using Gnasty Gnorc and his other lackeys to do his dirty work for him. Tobin, can you display a graphic animation of all the Dragon Realm portals at the time of Red's take over attempt?"  Ember asked and Tobin nodded as he touched the display bringing up a series of past maps. Then he created an animated overlay chart and map. The data on the screen began to move as five years of network tracking data combined into an animated representation of the changes the portal network had gone through over the last four years. Everyone quietly watched as network links seem to change course and link up with Shadow Dragon's network.


"Bingo, I think we have figured it out."  Spyro said as he pointed at the connections. "Look at the all the links. All those places are the same locations that were corrupted by the dark gems three years ago. It seems that the Shadow Dragons were trying to expand the borders of the Shadow Realm itself."


"But what would that accomplish, Spyro?" Elora asked.


"It would accomplish alot, Elora. Reeco, I believe, was trying to take over the portal network." Spyro said as he point to the Shadow Realm portal connections. "They were doing alot more then just hijacking our network... They were trying to take it completely over."


"But the mystery still remains, Spyro. Why were they trying to take it over?"  Blink asked.


Flame rubbed his chin and frowned as a unsettling thought came into his mind. "I think I know. It is all quite simple. Reeco wants to invade our Realm. The hints are all right here in front of us. Red being used as a pawn, the network connections being manipulated, and the fact that Reeco knew who you were, Spyro. It all adds up to the same thing. He has been planning this invasion of his for many years. Hell, he may even have been the source of many dragons disappearing over the years."


Tobin frowned as he growled, "Flame is indeed correct, Spyro. Many dragons who were very knowledgable on the history and knowledge of the ancient Vanguard Guardian Clan have been disappearing over the years. Some have been returned but their memories are either mixed up or totally blank."


Spyro groaned and rubbed his head. "There is that name again. I have heard of the Vanguard Clan but aren't they just an ancient myth." Tobin looked at Spyro and shook his head.


"Spyro, the Vanguard Guardians were one of the most powerful magic using dragon clans that have ever existed. They built the Trans-Realm Portal Network, for petes sake! Even now their power still flows through the network keeping it alive and working. Without them we wouldn't even be here. They are the ones found this realm years before the Sorceress..." At the mentioning of her old boss, Bianca growled and tensed up. Hunter rubbed her shoulders and she calmed down.


"Sorry, to interrupt you, Tobin, but everytime I hear her name I just want to strangle her. To think I once served someone so vile as her makes me want to cry. I was blind back then. I didn't understand what kinda person she was but I do now and I swear that I will never again work for someone like her."


"Okay, as I was saying, the evil witch from the Forgotten Realm banished us here thinking it was a wasteland we would die in. But thanks to the Vanguard Clan we survived. That Clan had made contact with many races including humans, but during the Dragon Wars that happened before the Banishment, the portals to the human world were forever broken to protect that world from the Shadow Dragons. In fact, the Vanguard found the Shadow Realm and built an incredible Trans-Realm traveling city known as Vanguard Command."  Hearing that name, Elora eyes opened wide.


"I can't believe it, I once read something about a magical floating city that appeared on Avalar during one of our warring periods centuries ago. The inhabitants of that city were dragons and they called themselves the Vanguard. They helped bring peace to our world and then they left. But before they left they promised that they would always be around to help us if we needed their help ever again. After that they created a network portal from Avalar to the other Realms. Over time they became nothing more then a myth that my people spoke of with great respect. Until now I hadn't believed that there was any truth to ancient myth." Spyro seem to smile as a thought came to him.


"Well, Elora, the myth is true and my clan has an ancient mural that proves it. Anyway, I believe that since the Vanguard traveled to many different realms and worlds in Vanguard Command the knowledge of their existence is known by many races and clans. In fact, Blink how did your uncle get here?"


"My uncle found some old info that spoke of the Dragon Realms. Along with that info was bits and pieces of ancient knowledge on how create portals between realms. My uncle deciphered what he could and left the rest back at his lab in the Forgotten Realms. He tried to come here directly to find the dragon clans to help fight Ripto."  Spyro smiled at the mention of  'Shorty' the second villian he had fought after defeating Gnasty Gnorc the first time. "Instead, my uncle ended up on Avalar and because the Avalarians remembered the Vanguard dragons my uncle used the knowledge he had gained from deciphering the ancient Vanguard text to try and bring a dragon from the Dragon Realms instead of going there himself."


Spyro smiled and said, "And that dragon just happened to be me. I was on my way to Dragon Shores for a well earned vacation. Ember and Flame had already gone ahead of me and I was going there to join then when the portal changed directions sending me and Sparx to Avalar where I met you guys."  Blink nodded and smiled.


"All because of an accident made by my uncle you got to meet Hunter and Elora as well as the rest of us. As for the knowledge my uncle left behind in the Forgotten Realms I believe Agent 9 is still researching that info right now. Spyro, maybe we should pay him a visit sometime in the near future."


"Good idea, but first there is so much info to go through. We have to do some history research and figure out how the past links to present because it will be those links that will shed some light on our possible future. Now, that we have talked about the Vanguard for the last couple hours and still haven't gotten anywhere let's move on to other present matters. Blink, as you were saying earlier."


Blink thought back to the question for a moment before he said, "Yes, I think Moneybags heard something. He did say that the power in his shop was going on and off so he went outside to check the power generator to see what was wrong. He had checked and found nothing wrong so he had started to head back in but he ran into someone."


Hunter scratched his chin as they all started to think about what Blink was saying. "Okay," Ember said, "You say that Money-bags ran into someone. Who was it?"


"Moneybags told my uncle that he didn't know. The only thing he did know was it was a female, she was tall, and she had black scales. I think we can safely say she was a dragon and considering the fact that there are no black dragons in the Dragon Realms we can also say she wasn't from around here. I willing to bet she was a Shadow Dragon considering all the info we have heard so far. I bet she was the one who broke Red out."


"In case you young ones are curious: her name is Ryua, and she is the younger sister of Reeco, who you know is the young leader of the Shadow Dragon Warrior Clan. I hope that answers your questions." said a very deep and familiar male voice. They all turned and saw Nestor, the Artisan Dragon elder and leader standing in the doorway with a smile on his face. "Hi, young ones. Has anything unusal happened while me and Sandra have been gone. Ember, do you have anything to report."


"Actually, we have discovered a secret Shadow Dragon plot." Ember said with a smile as everyone nodded in agreement.


Nestor smiled. "Good work, everyone. Keep it up."  He looked at Spryo and gestured to him to come with him as he slowly turned and walked out of the dinning room. "Spyro, I need to tell you something in private."


"Ok,"  Spyro said as he followed Nestor out of the kitchen dinning hall and down the hall way that led to his office.


Nestor's Office


Nestor led Spyro into his office and took a seat behind his large desk. "Take a seat, Spyro. What I have to tell you will take a while."


"Actually, Nestor, I want to go talk to Moneybags and the Professor about our so called black dragon problem. Whatever it is you have to tell me it can wait until later."  Spyro said as he started for the door. Nestor frowned waved his paw and the door locked. "Oh come on, Nestor. Surely what you have to tell me isn't that important that it can't wait until later!"


"Spyro, in all the years that I have known you you have been a smart ass with a tough guy atittude. You never listen to us elders when we say don't do something or go anywhere. You just take it upon yourself to do whatever the hell you want to do and....


"Excuse me, Nestor but if I did whatever you old ones wanted me to do without question Gnasty Gnorc would be ruler of the Dragon Realms right now and all of us, including me, would be statues in either his garden, dining room or... he would have shattered us into a million pieces by now. So please don't go there because you know that it was because of my disobedience that we are all still here. Besides I am sure you heard what we said about the Vanguard and the Shadow Dragons. Nestor, I fought their leader at Dragon Shores..."


"And you died and were reborn. Yes, I know, Spyro."  Nestor said calmly making Spyro's eyes open wide in surpise. Nestor smiled. "Nice to see that even an old dragon like me can still surprise a young dragon like you."


"But... but..., how did you find out?" Spyro asked as he thought about it for two seconds and then looked around for Sparx. "Okay, Sparx, come out wherever you are because I know it was you who told Nestor." Sparx buzzed and showed up with a 'I am sorry I told' expression on his face. Spyro frowned and looked at his dragonfly. "Traitor!"


"I am sorry, Spyro, I was angry with you and Nestor was nearby so I told him what I knew."  Spyro smiled and patted his friend gently.


"I deserved it, Sparx, for mistreating my lifetime partner and friend."  He said as he sat down in front of Nestor desk. "Okay, Nestor, you have my attention. What do you want to tell me that is so important that you couldn't wait until later to tell me?" Once Spyro has asked his question he watch as Nestor's smile faded to be replaced with a seriously sad expression. "What's wrong, Nestor?"


"Spyro, you need to know something about Flame."


"What is it, Nestor?"  Nestor hesitated and Spyro frowned as impatience began to make him feel irritated. "Well... Come on, Nestor tell me before you forget. I swear your memory is getting worst as the years pass. Well..."


Nestor sighed and calmly said, "Spyro, Flame is your younger brother." After Nestor said that Spyro just looked at him with a silent unreadable expression. "Well, Spyro, say something!"


"What do you mean, Nestor?" Spyro asked as he looked over at the elder dragon in shock at the revelation that had just been dropped on him like a fire bomb.


"You heard me perfectly well, Spyro." Nestor said in calm tone. "Flame is your younger brother."


"And you are just telling me this now! What the...!" Spyro said as he seemed to lose control of his voice and stood up, turned and walk over to the closed door. Once he got there he ripped the door open with pure dragon strength. Nestor frowned and got up to follow Spyro. He could tell that Spyro was not happy about the truth being withheld for so many years from him but if only he gave him the chance to explain why then maybe the coming fight could be avoided altogether.


"Spyro, wait!"  Nestor said as he walked after him as quickly as his old legs could take him. Spyro turned around with nostrils flared and smoke billowed out as his anger seemed to grow in front of the elder. This growth caused his newly awakened powers to flare up in him. The gold arm bands flashed white as Spyro's paws started to glow.


"Stay the hell away from me, Nestor! I trusted you and you kept this secret from me. I bet you know who my parents are too. Well, answer me!" Spyro screamed as he glared at him. Nestor frowned and dropped his head slightly.


"Yes, Spyro, I know who your parents are and that they are still alive. I am sorry I didn't tell you the truth about you and Flame being brothers. I was trying to protect him and you from those who would try and hurt one or both of you. Please, Spyro, forgive me."  Nestor said sadly as he looked into Spyro's glowing purple eyes.


For a few minutes no one said or did anything. After enough time had passed, Spyro had roared in anger and pain. Nestor and everyone else who was present appeared in the hall to see what was going on. Spyro looked at his friends standing in the kitchen doorway and then he turned to Nestor with his fangs bared in an angry snarl. "Go to hell!"  He growled and as he did, his glowing eyes changed from purple to gold and he sent a wave of energy flying knocking Nestor off his feet and sliding him down the hallway into Mrs. Shoutfire who was knocked into the wall putting a dent in it. Spyro's temper seemed to drain from as he looked at his paws in shock. "What- have- I- done!"  He looked over at Nestor and Mrs. Shoutfire aka Sandra as tears started to fall from his eyes. He noticed that his eyes had changed gold again thanks to his anger. Bianca was right, my emotions are what trigger my change. I have to learn how to control these feelings or someone I care about might get hurt or worst killed.  "Nestor- Sandra- please forgive me! I didn't mean to...."  After Spyro's shock silenced him he turned and ran out the front door taking flight as he did.


"SPYRO... WAIT!" Nestor yelled as Sandra helped him back to his feet. Nestor's facial expression took on one of total sadness as he looked at his mate. "Sandra... what have I done?"


Sandra only closed her eyes and shook her head. "No, Nestor," She whispered as she opened her eyes and looked at him with an equal expression of sadness. "What have we done...?"
