Ember's sons grew into two, strong, young dragons. Evic's baby sister and niece sat next to them with their mother. Ember said to her sons, "I'd like to inform my sons that we now have a ledgable female. Who will get to have her after my passing, I don't know. That will depend on dedication. Evic, you better step up your game if you want to compare to your brother."

Evic spoke bluntly to his mother, avoiding eye contact. "I don't want to."

Ember was struck with surprise. "Excuse me?"

Evic began to cry like a child. "Mother, you're hopelessly confused. There is something hereditary wrong in this. You've doomed yourself to this dank cell. You've doomed me to insestiry genes. I also am disgusted by the fact you went as far as to kill my uncle - my father, and my sister - my cousin."

"Shut up!" Ember roared then swiped her son clean across his cheek, as her uncle did with her upon birth. "You're father is my dad! Not Koneb!"

Evic let the blood trickle off his face and onto the cave floor. "His name is Koneb... All my life I had never heard my father's name. Don't you think that's wrong? You are wrong, mother. I don't want anything to do with you or the things you've tried to teach me..." He then approached the side of the cliff.

Ember exploded with demonic power. "I'LL KILL YOU, YOU BASTARD!"

Looking back at his mom, Evic asked, "Me and how many others? My dad, your brother? My sister? Spyro's brother, Sparx?"

The memories of her many victims flushed her focus. Crying hysterically, she asked her son, "How do you know that name?"

"Spyro's daughter, Star, told me everything her father told her..." Answered Evic. "About Flick, Flame, Sparx, the lake you poisioned... You've done some ghastly things, Ember. And I want less than nothing to do with the life you've made for me and yourself." He then turned and flew away from the cave he used to call home.

Ember stood alone with her only remaining son and baby daughter. Litus spoke, "Sad sod, my brother. May he rot in the fires of Hell."

Ember suddenly spoke in the normal voice she abandoned as a child... "May I rot in the fires of Hell."
