It has been 199 years and 11 months since the destruction of Malefor's world eater and his disappearance and today was the 200 year celebration of Spyro and Cynder who won and revived the world. Spyro was now the king of Warfang and Cynder was the Queen and in addition to that Spyro was the ruler of the Dragon Temple and Cynder was the trainer for the royal dragon guards in Warfang. Spyro was currently looking at all the fledging dragons who were wanting to join in as future guardians as well as the trainees who were already members. "Now as you all know since the arrival of my wife and your Queen Cynder the law in which those of the Poison, Wind, Fear, and Shadow can't become guardians has been lifted as such we have four new guardian teachers." Said Spyro as four large dragons came out along with the Lightning, Fire, Earth, and Ice guardians. "I would like you all to meet Shade the Guardian of Shadows, Rafflesia the Guardian of Poison, Toronado the Guardian of Wind, and Shriek the Guardian of Fear, they are all new to the guardians and as such they will be taking on only a few apprentices while Cyril, Ember, Terrador, and Volteer take on the regular amount." Said Spyro as he stared at them and nodded as he began dividing them all up based on their abilities and powers with the guardians.

Meanwhile Cynder was in the Barracks looking over the fresh meat soldiers. "Now you all know me, you most likely know what I have done in my past, and as such you should know I am do not allow slackers or wimps in my training so if you do not think you can cut it back out now but if you wish to become royal guards then you are in the right place." Said Cynder as she examined them all. She began them all off with a routine drill. They had to navigate a obstacle course, take down their foe, and rescue a helpless hatchling within a certain timeframe or they'd fail and have to be punished. As she watched them all train she heard something and told her second in command to watch over the system as she went to investigate. She found a basket sitting outside the Baracks with a note. She picked it up and read it. "Dear Queen Cynder, I am a lone father and I am afraid my only egg is not safe in my care so I ask that you and King Spyro give my child a better life than I ever could." She said aloud as she read the note. She then looked at the basket and removed the blanket and saw that there was a pink and blue egg. "Well I'm not sure I'm ready for this but I'll ask Spyro when he returns." Said Cynder as she took it to their room in the castle of Warfang.

Far, far, far, away from Warfang deep where Malefor's castle once stood a large crystal began beating as if something was happening. The beating continued until the crystal cracked almost like it was an egg. After half an hour of this the crystal shattered in a powerful explosion sending thousands of crystal fragments flying. In the crater of the explosion laid a large unconscious female dragon. She began to slowly come around as her golden eyes snapped open. She then growled as she stretched she expected to see her father standing there having woken her up however when she didn't see anyone except monkey bones and the castle destroyed she began looking for clues about what happened. She found her fathers history stone orb and used it finding out everything that had happened and she snarled at what she discovered. "Oh so she thinks she can betray us and get away with it, hehe, too bad dear sister you'd be wrong." She said as she stomped on the orb shattering it revealing a small crystal dragon skull accessory that connects to the top of the dragon muzzle. "Watch out Warfang, Darkness is coming and the storm is relentless."
