The Legend of Spyro, The Guardian's Legacy

Chapter 19: Write your own destiny

Spyro was still open-mouthed and incredulous at the sight of Ignitus. We did not want to disturb him, because after a few seconds Ignitus said in a quiet voice:

"Have no fear Spyro, I am not a ghost, I really am here."

"Ignitus!" Spyro said, his face full of tears, "You're alive! I'm so glad ..."

"What? How? When? Why?" said Sparx, who was very perplexed.

Flame also had tears in her eyes, because at the mention of the Chronicler's name, he quickly knew that it was really her father, the one he never knew.

"Father!" Flame said, also with tears of happiness, "I finally know you! I always wanted to see you ..."

"I'm glad to see my two sons reunited at last" said Ignitus, and hugged them with great happiness.

"But how...?" Spyro began.

"When you and Cynder defeated Malefor and rebuilt the world, a new era began. Then, I was called by the previous Chronicler, from beyond, to be the new Chronicler of this age."

"So, will you come back to us and to Mom?" Flame asked.

"I'm sorry, Flame," Ignitus apologized, "The main task of a Chronicler is to record the events that occur each day, and as such, he cannot leave the White Island."

Spyro and Flame were disappointed by that answer. However, seeing a small glimmer of hope, Spyro asked:

"So can we come visit you?"

"Of course, I would be very happy to receive you" answered Ignitus "and the doors will always be open for you".

After the family reunion, each of us introduces ourselves. Then we had to explain our situation.

"I know about your problem young people" Ignitus said calmly, "so I will help you."

Ignitus looked in the direction of some books. Immediately, one of them flew towards us and opened in front of Ignitus. After reading a few pages, Ignitus told us:

"Cynder is trapped in a cage made by the apes, within the realm of convexity. But Simian doesn't really want her."

"So why did she take Cynder? And how did she get into the realm of convexity? I thought it was sealed" Flame said.

"Because as Cynder's powers were able to make her enter there once, they used them to do it again. Also, when restoring the world, a rift was opened in various dimensions, those cracks and the portal to the realm of convexity must be closed again; otherwise Malefor could come back again. "

"But, when he used Cynder, Malefor needed the energy of the guardians" said Edel, "my father told me: that's why she kidnapped you."

"Right, me and the other guardians were kidnapped so that Cynder could use our powers to return to the dark master" Ignitus stated, "However, it took an extraordinary time to charge the ice, earth and electricity crystals. When he charged the fire crystal, it did not get enough energy, because Spyro managed to save me in time "

"Yes, I remember" Spyro said, remembering how he had reached Cynder's castle and rescued Ignitus before fully charging the crystal.

"Because of that, Malefor used the energy that emanated from his mountain to obtain the remaining power. However, I am no longer among the guardians, so they will not insist on repeating it again unless there is a fire guardian. Also. After the last war, Malefor was left quite weakened in his prison. Because of this, Simian seeks a power that equals the guardians and Malefor himself ... "

"He wants ... Spyro!" I said deducing the enemy's plan, "That's why he took Cynder, because he knows he will go for her!"

"It was to be imagined ..." said Sparx.
