Lenith’s voice echoed in Xiuhcoatl’s head, “Give up what you hold, that she needs. Give her your heart and soul, give her what she deserves and what is no longer hers to own.” Xiuhcoatl looked into Saphira’s eyes as they began to lose color. He kissed her lips softly, he slowly broke the kiss as his lips trembled, “I know… what I can do, I think I know.” His body began to glow blue as it moved onto Saphira and she slowly began to breathe again. The ground around them froze as he kept giving her his soul.
Lenith’s voice echoed in his head again, “Purple dragons are special, they have the ability to master many elements. Hybrid dragons such and Vritra, have two souls. You can offer it to bring another life that is only dying or recently deceased. You may no longer have the power of ice but you may keep the one you love.” Xiuhcoatl smiled as he kept crying, he rested his head on her chest, “Please let this be enough. It’s what I was told to do… don’t leave me now… she said it would work. Please be right Lenith.”
Saphira spoke in a weak voice, “Xiuh… was I dead?” He nodded, “Yes, but… I was able to… bring you back thanks to Lenith.” She smiled as she lay on the floor unable to move, “I can’t move.” Lenith appeared in front of everyone, “Thanks to you all Malefor has been defeated. Saphira rest easy for now, you have done much more than any other dragon of Yor could have done. It will take time for you to recover but you will be on your feet in no time. You have all done well, your sacrifices were not in vane. In a few years all will become clear. I shall see you all then, rest well for now.”
Lenith disappeared as quickly as she appeared and the others gathered around Xiuhcoatl and Saphira. “I’m glad you’re alive Saphira… I don’t know how Xiuhcoatl would’ve handled it if you died,” Cynder said as she rested her head on Spyro. The group decided to rest for a while after their long battle.
Hours later Crimson awoke to see themselves at the beach of the White Isle. He got up and looked around to see everyone starting to wake up, “How did we get here?” “Tiamat and I brought you back,” Ignitus said. He was standing a few feet away from them with Tiamat by his side. “You will all be happy to hear you are all alive and defeated Malefor, for now.”
Tiamat made her way to the group and stood in front of Cynder, “How are you all feeling?” Krystal sat up, “I feel a little tired still.” Everyone nodded agreeing with Krystal. They had given the fight their all and were exhausted from their long battle. “You will be happy to know that you will not have to worry about Malefor or anything for a few years. I will just leave you with that, I am going inside to rest.” Tiamat smiled as she turned away and walked into the library.
Spyro looked around, then to Ignitus, “My mother… she didn’t make it did she?” Ignitus shook his head, “I am sorry Spyro, but she sacrificed herself to help you defeat Malefor. But look around, you are all together and you have your daughter that you may stay by and raise. She is quite a bit to handle but she is a joy to be with.” Belinda ran up to Spyro and jumped on his back, “You’re back daddy. I knew you would come back with mommy and everyone.”
Cynder smiled and kissed her daughter on the cheek, “Yes we’re back honey, we won’t ever leave you again.”
Two months passed, everyone was happy at the White Isle. Crimson and Xiuhcoatl became closer and Crimson enjoyed picking on him from time to time. Cynder, Krystal and Saphira became very close friends and often laughed at the boys. Spyro was also with Xiuhcoatl and Crimson, they were all like a family should be. Ignitus and Tiamat constantly watched over them as they watched the six grow up they way they should have all along, in peace. Belinda also became attached to everyone, calling Crimson and Xiuhcoatl her uncles and Krystal and Saphira her aunts.
One day though…
“Xiuhcoatl, Crimson… Krystal and I have something to show you,” Saphira called out as the two girls waited on the beach with Cynder. Cynder was lying on her back while Belinda was sleeping on her chest, the little one is a heavy sleeper.
Spyro, Crimson and Xiuhcoatl walked over curiously. “What’s up… why did you call us over?” Crimson asked as he pushed Xiuhcoatl into the sand. Xiuhcoatl looked up and spit sand out of his mouth, “Very mature, aren’t you supposed to be the older one?”
Krystal and Saphira giggled as they looked at each other then back at the boys. They moved their tails in front of them each holding an egg. “Better get mature fast you two, you’re both going to be fathers,” Krystal said while the girls began to laugh.
Crimson and Xiuhcoatl turned their heads slowly to look at each other, “Fathers?” they both said simultaneously. Spyro laughed and put a wing over each of them, “Congratulations, we’re all a real family now, four fathers, four mothers, four kids.” Cynder looked to Spyro, “Very funny, just because we live with my parents doesn’t make me a kid.” Spyro chuckled, “But you’re still their kid.”
“Fathers, we’re going to be fathers!” The brothers yelled again as Belinda woke up laughing. “Uncle Xiuh and Uncle Crim are funny mom.” “Yes they are honey, and you’re going to have a girl and boy to grow up with, won’t that be fun?” Cynder asked while nuzzling her daughter. “Yes mom it will,” Belinda said innocently.
Everyone laughed at the brothers as they stared at the eggs in panic. This is the end of our story for now, may our heroes rest easy, for as Lenith, Tiamat and Ignitus said, Malefor is only gone for now. But what will be their fate in the future? Only time will tell.
This is it, the ending of Legend of Shadows.

As promised I will begin immediatly on the sequal so for all of you that have been around since the beginning, thank your for your support. If it wasn't for you all I would have never actually gotten this far with the story and had this much fun with it. A big thanks to :iconsaphira44: for keeping me going at the story when I felt unsure of myself. Once again thank you to all of you that kept commenting me, giving me encouraging comments. I really feel like I accomplished something here. Also a huge thanks to Sierra for remodeling Spyro, giving him a great origin story and Cynder as well as all the other characters Ignitus, Hunter, Cyril, Terrador, Volteer and a great job on Sparx. If it wasn't for their great trilogy I would have never been motivated to get back into writing. They helped me remember why I loved writing so much. Games are so much more than they are, story is something that is overlooked so many times and needs to be paid more attention to.

Once again thanks to all the fans, and Sierra especially for the Legend of Spyro trilogy.

The story was amazing except for the part where Cynder was supposedly having a crush on this other dragon even though they ended up with their correct partners so it ends well and I stand by what Cynder said before that she had no feelings for him and either way that probably wouldn't have worked out relationship wise anyway so they probably would have found the correct lovers one way or another.
