Spyro questioned Ignitus of what was he talking about, but Ignitus told him that doesn’t concern him now and sent Spyro to Munitions Forge, where Terrador, the Guardian Of Earth, was held. Ignitus hypothesized that Cynder was trying to gain all the Guardians’ elemental powers to open a portal that must never be opened. Once there, the god of the Shrine, the Stone Sentinel, awakened and engaged Spyro in battle, which the purple dragon emerged victorious.Īfter Spyro and Cyril went back to the Temple, he taught Spyro the secrets of ice and discussed with the other Guardians more about Cynder’s possible plans. When Spyro was near the shrine where Cyril was held, he and Sparx witnessed Cynder fly off without noticing them and they continue their way to the shrine. Ignitus expected that Cynder may be planning to do something with the Guardians’ powers, but he doesn’t know what for, so Ignitus sent Spyro to Tall Plains, home of the Attlawa tribe, to find Cyril, the Guardian of Ice. When Spyro and Volteer returned to the Temple, Volteer trained Spyro the art of electricity and explained to Ignitus that he lost some of his electric powers inside a crystal Cynder stored. There, he faced the Ice King, and saved Volteer. First, he flew to Dante’s Freezer to find Volteer, the Guardian of Electricity. Spyro convinced Ignitus to lead him to the Temple, and was able to drive Cynder’s forces out, after which Ignitus told Spyro more about their war against the Dark Armies, offered Spyro some training in the art of fire, and then sent Spyro off to rescue three other Dragon Guardians from Cynder’s forces. Spyro was pursued by hostile forces, but eventually came into contact with a distraught Ignitus, who although pleased that Spyro was alive, feared that with the Dragon Temple under occupation by the Apes, led by a large black dragon named Cynder, their war was already lost. Sparx, though reluctant at first, decided to follow along. Spyro decided to leave the Swamp in search of his true home. Upon returning to their home, he was told by his foster parents, Flash and Nina, that he was not a dragonfly, but a stranger from a distant, war-torn land. Spyro dealt with the remaining Apes and freed Sparx from his ‘lantern’ cage. Spyro, furious, unconsciously used his Fire breath on the leader, who promptly retreated report back to someone called Cynder.

The leader didn’t take the insult very well and was about to kill Sparx. Spyro disposed most of the group when Sparx gave the leader a sarcastic insult. On one fateful day when Spyro and Sparx were playing hide ‘n’ seek, a group of Apes attacked the duo and Sparx was captured in the process. Upon hatching, Spyro was adopted into the dragonfly family and raised as one of their own alongside Sparx, a young dragonfly who was born the same day.

Spyro’s egg drifted down the river and was soon discovered by a family of dragonflies, Nina and Flash. Ignitus, the Guardian of Fire, rescued the purple dragon’s egg, and left it to drift down the Silver River into a Swamp, hoping for the best. During Spyro’s incubation, the Dragon Temple was attacked by the forces of the Dark Master, who was intent on destroying all the dragon eggs to prevent Spyro’s birth. For instance, when Spyro was telling Cynder to follow his lead, she immediately responded in an indignant tone, "Why should you lead?".Spyro is a rare purple dragon born once every ten generations, said to bring hope to the world. Despite her damsel-in-distress role in the previous two games, Cynder is far from passive and doesn't enjoy such roles of frail and weak heroines. She is cunning, intelligent, witty, resourceful, brave, spirited, determined, independent, and isn't afraid to speak her mind. It is interesting to note that Cynder appears to have greater reserves of magic than Spyro, despite the latter being a purple dragon (who are renowned for their enormous elemental and magical potential), though this may due to the fact she was exposed to the dark magic of a fallen purple dragon. Aether is also one of the abilities that was unwillingly bestowed upon her by Malefor. She has the ability to use Poison, Fear, Wind, and Shadow as her breath attacks, which were given to her in Dawn of the Dragon.
