The Legend of Spyro, The Guardian's Legacy

Epilogue: A New Beginning (Part 3)

(1 hour later. Temple's training room)

"Hello Spyro, nice to see you friend" I said to the adult purple dragon in front of me. At his side, was a small black dragon, "So, you are Nina, right?"

"Yes sir" he said shyly.

"Don't be shy, little girl. Just call me Jhonny "I replied, then I turned to my son" Drago, this is your teammate, Nina. Nina, this is my son, Drago"

Drago and Nina met, but it seems that they got along very well.

"Nice to meet you, Nina" said my little one, "I'm Drago"

"A pleasure, Drago" said Nina.

Just at that moment, another red dragon arrived with a smaller one, which was an exact copy of his father.

"Hello brother! Hello Jhonny!" Flame said, "I'm glad I was on time. This is my little one, Ash"

The three smaller dragons reunited and Drago introduced himself to Ash.

(Later ... on the temple platform)

Drago, Nina and Ash were flying slightly with their eyes closed. In that state, they unconsciously flapped their wings.

"I am doing it right?" Nina asked, still with his eyes closed.

"And how do I do it?" Ash asked.

Drago opened his eyes and realized that they were flying slightly in the air.

"If you have opened your eyes," I told them, "Don't lose the concentration that brought you there. Rising without seeing may seem easy, but you must continue with your eyes open and stay in the air "

Ash and Nina opened their eyes. Then, I taught them how to descend gently.

"Well done" I said, "Well I think now we could continue with ..."

At that moment, Cyril (who was already a little older) appeared on the scene.

"Jhonny, you have to come with me, you can bring the little ones with you, if you wish"

"What's wrong Master Cyril?" I asked surprised.

"It is the egg, it will hatch" explained the dragon.

We all returned to the dragon temple's dormitory. Spyro, Cynder, and Edel were already there: gathered around the light-blue egg.

"Jhonny, I'm glad you arrived" said Edel. Then, she turned to Drago and said, "Your little brother is going to be born, Drago"

"Hey... Jhonny, Edel" said Spyro looking at the egg, "The egg is hatching!"

Everyone, including the little ones, sat and watched with excitement as the egg cracked a bit more and then a little paw with claws came out of the shell. Edel, Drago and I leaned closer to get a better look. We looked at each other excitedly as the egg continued to crack.

But suddenly it stopped and the little paw came back in.

"Hmm?" I said confused and approached carefully, but then there was a loud sneeze and the egg cracked and an icy breeze hit me on the nose.

I sneezed to other side, releasing some fire at the same time. Nina and Cynder tried not to laugh when they saw that.

"Fortunately, it was not so serious" I said already recovered, "but now I know that she looks like her mother"

Edel laughed.

"Mom, dad" said Drago, "look."

At that moment, we saw was a small dragon looking at us with its big eyes as it tried to get out of what was left of its egg. After a few seconds, she succeeded, and Edel moved closer to inspect the newborn better.

"It's a girl" she declared, "Come over Drago, come meet your new little sister"

She was definitely just like her mother, with the same beautiful eyes as Edel, and the colors of her horns. Furthermore, it was clear that it was from the element of ice, for its scales shone like small glaciers. The little dragon sniffed Drago to catch his scent and then smiled, just like her mother and me.

"Congratulations to the parents" said Terrador, entering the room, "I am glad to see the birth of the new generations."

"Thank you Terrador" I said.

Terrador sat with us.

"I'm glad to see the ice dragon bloodline flourish again" Cyril said, then looked at Drago and added: "Don't worry Drago, you too will be a mighty fire dragon like your father"

I was proud of that last comment, as was my son.

"Does she have a name?" Spyro asked, looking at the newborn.

"Well, since she looks more like her mother, it's up to her to decide" I said.

"Umm, what do you think of Aurora?" She said, "Like those northern and southern lights that you once told me about?"

"Aurora ... I like it," said Drago.

"Me too," I stated.

"Well it's decided" Cyril declared, "The little girl's name is Aurora."

"Welcome to dragons' realms, little Aurora" Terrador said. We stared at the newborn for what seemed like hours, but it was only a few seconds.

"Excuse me, everyone, but could you come out so Aurora can eat and rest?" Edel said after a while.

We all nod and left the room.

(Later, that day...)

Spyro and I were talking on the terrace of the temple.

"Thank you very much for taking care of and teaching Nina, Jhonny" he said, "You are an excellent guardian"

"I still owe you for making me believe that I could be," I replied, "I'm the one who should thank you"

Spyro looked to the horizon where the sun was going to set in just an hour. I looked at Spyro's face and I noticed that he seemed concerned.

"You're worried about what happens nine more generations from now, aren't you?" I told.

"Yes, I am" he said, "the next purple dragon will be born and I am afraid it will be like Malefor"

"My friend, you need not fear. Come look"

I guided Spyro to the training room, where Drago, Ash, and Nina were playing.

"Tell me" I said to Spyro, "What do you see there?"

"My daughter playing with her best friends" Spyro replied.

"Well, I see hope. The hope that if the future looks dark, there will be a light that will always oppose and fight against that darkness. Because you have confidence in Nina, right?"

"Yes"

"Well, she will also have confidence in the generations that come after her. That gives hope. Every era has problems, but I'm sure they will solve it together "

Spyro looked at me for a few seconds and then said:

"And you thought you were not wise, right?"

"It's not about being wise, it's about being optimistic, buddy" I laughed.

Spyro and I high-fived as good friends that we were.

(That night)

Edel and I went to sleep. Edel was hugging little Aurora and I was hugging Drago. All together as one big happy family.

"This is my home ..." I thought and fell asleep.}

THE END ... Or is it just the beginning?
