~Chapter 1: Spyro's Fatherly Instincts~

"I wish that she'd cheer up," Jilas said to Cynder, "She's been down like that since...you know."

"It'll take time," Cynder replied, trying to lift Jilas' spirits up.

"It's been a year though," Jilas said as she looked outside at Dax, who was laying next to the black gem cluster with tears in her eyes, "How much time would it take for her to get over Nightshade's death?"

"He was like a father to her," Cynder answered, "It will probably take a long time."

"This would also be the second time in her life that she was abandoned," Ignitus said as he came through the corridor, listening in on the conversation, "Nightshade was her adopted father, so she was abandoned once before."

"Personally, I think that she's lucky," Cynder said, "At least she had someone to raise her. I never had the chance to even have a childhood. Malefor turned me into his puppet, a monster. He made me do...terrible and cruel things. And I remember...the whole...time, there was...still that part...of me that...just wanted...my..." Cynder was unable to finish her statement as she broke into tears, crying.

Ignitus draped a wing over Cynder and brought her into a hug as he gently stroked her head to try to comfort her, "I know," Ignitus said softly, "That's all over now."

Spyro arrived when he heard Cynder crying. He was carrying a tray with meats, fruits, and water on it. He was going to take it out to Dax. She has been doing very little and barely ever left the gem cluster. So Spyro has been taking care of her and making sure that she doesn't starve herself and keep her company.

"What's wrong, Cynder?" Spyro asked.

"She was just having a bad memory," Ignitus said.

"Was she thinking about what she's done when she was under Malefor's mind control?"

"No. This time it was more like what was done to her and what she had to go through."

Spyro was now torn between the desire to comfort Cynder, and his desire to comfort Dax. He made up his mind and decided to go to Dax, but not without making sure Ignitus would comfort Cynder.

Spyro went outside to Dax and sat down next to her. He set down the tray of food and water, "Come on, Dax. It's time to eat."

Dax reluctantly began to eat an apple, but not much else, "I miss him," She whimpered quietly.

This caught Spyro's attention since she never spoke during these moments. He shook off the feeling and draped a wing over Dax and pulled her into a hug, "I know," he said in a gentle tone, "I know."

Ignitus, Cynder, and Jilas were looking out the window. They were watching Spyro taking care of Dax. Cynder still had tears in her eyes from earlier, but she was feeling better, "Watching Spyro like this is fascinating," Jilas said.

"Yes it is, little one," Ignitus said, "He does quite well in taking care of Dax in such a fatherly manner. It's as if he decided to take on Nightshade's roll of Dax' adoptive father."

"But why would he act as her father?" Cynder wondered, "Wouldn't he expect you to take on the roll of her father?"

"That's why it's so fascinating," Ignitus replied, "Because I do not have an answer for that. But perhaps he's come to that age of maturity. Perhaps his parental instincts are activated and he, like Nightshade, has taken her in as his own."

Cynder looked up at Ignitus with curiosity in her eyes, "Do you really think that Spyro feels that he is her father figure?"

"Like I said, I can't be sure," Igntitus said, "But it appears so."

Cynder looked at Spyro with admiration. She was thinking about Spyro actually being a father. She also thought that he was acting very much like the father that she wished she had. This thought brought tears back in her eyes.
