It just felt right to experience this change with him. That after everything they sacrificed in order to save the world, Cynder and Spyro had earned getting to bask in the peace they made. Making their way down the mountain side, the bright sun warms dark scales. Stepping closer to her companion, the wind dragon tentatively nuzzles her cheek to vibrant purple scales. "I'm happy that we made it out of that mess, together."

It's still rather strange, having returned to the security of the temple in the wake of having survived everything. There was no greater adventure waiting for Cynder, no final enemy waiting to be slain. She simply had to return to the only place she could call a home, and rebuild a way of life the wind dragon has never experienced before. It took a great deal of effort on her part not to feel unequipped for such a task. "Right behind you," When Terrador had approached the young dragon, she wasn't sure what to expect. Even at a time of peace, the temple always seemed bustling with activity. "I don't think I've been down here before."

                As     the     pair     approached     their     destination,     marked     by     the     teal     banner     gently     flowing     at     the     end     of     the     hall,     the     earth     dragon     glanced     down     at     the     dragoness.     〝    Cynder,     you     will     ALWAYS     have     a     home     here.     You     have     a     place     amongst     the     guardians,     if     YOU     so     choose.    〞
