"That's the K'ara I know" Kihei said

"Stone? What do you know about Ash?" Cynder asked

Makil watched and Isis looked at Stone with some evident worry

"He was a guardian in-training, Ignitus's student. He went missing during the battle to slow down the Destroyer." Stone said.

"Ignitus's what?!" Spyro exclaimed.

"Ignitus? Mhh, my father told me about him, he was the former leader of the Dragons before he died, wasn't he?" Jaeger asked, to be sure, though he looked back at Spyro, kinda surpised about his reaction.

((Since I'm Ignitus, would I be able to summon spyro into dreams, in the future of the RP?))

"But what does this mean? That dragons are turning on one another?" Kidrath said confused. He was sure that a student of a guardian wouldn't just turn their back for no reason.

Kumara arrived and heard the others. She stood opposite of Kidrath and tried not to make eye contact.

Occ: If you PM me or let me know before you do it

"He's the leader of the Guardians yes. And I don't know he went missing during the battle against the Destroyer. We assume he died." Stone said.

"Well, either that or he had a really wierd reason not showing up until now." Jaeger answered for himself, with a damped voice, rubbing over his chin fur with ne of his paws. "So the former leader of the Dragon Guardians is probably dead, and now his studend is attacking under the order of the purple Dragon's shadow as it seems. What can we make up of these facts?" He then asked, since he honestly got no Idea himself, this far more than the young Cheetah expected.

Cynder got the group's attention "Ash was like me when I was under Malefor's influence" She said

Isis looked around "Why is this happening now though?" She asked

Kihei landed next to Kumara and draped a wing on her

"Me and Cynder can conform that Ignitus is dead" Spyro said in a somber tone.

"Who?" Spyro asked the Earth Guardian.

"Well, now that we know, what do you think we should do about this?" Jaeger then asked, bringing himself back into the conversation again. Still maintaining his calm tone in the voice.

"Common sense, I mean about the appearances of Spyro's shadow, and that other Dragon named Ash. It's clear that they want to do us harm." Jaeger said, gesturing abit with his paws again.

"I don't like that Cheetah guy... even if he has a point, what do you think?" Sparx whispered in Spyros' ear, but since Cynder was nearby, she maybe would be able to hear him as well.

"He seems trustworthy enough" Spyro said to Sparx, "We still need to find Volteer and Cyril" he said

"So, who's the new Guardian Leader?" Cynder asked

"Wait, couldn't Spyro use Convexity on Ash like he did to Cynder?" Isis asked

Kidrath sighed, "Terrador just said that he is the new leader, Cynder, or weren't you paying attention? "

"I would have but they ambush me and done something to me..." Spyro said, "I think they were draining my energy"

"Oh, I didn't understand him, sorry" Cynder said

"That's horrible, imagine what evil they'll do with your power" Isis said

Kihei nudged Kumara "Talk to him K'ara" He whispered

"Hey, hey, calm down everybody, not everyne at once..." Jaeger said, trying to bring some oder into the conversation. "What about those Crystals, they seem like a source of power as well, Ash used one to vanish in the fight. Maybe there are more, that we could use?" He then said, looking from Spyro to Terrador, over to the others. "Or, at least, you dragons."

"What Crystal?" Stone asked, "There shouldn't be any Spirit Gems here" He said.

"These gems, what do they do for you dragons?" Guavor asked curiously. The ape made sure to sound like he didn't have an idea.

"Well... only thing I saw that he took out a purple colored gem.... then he simply vanished, just like that." Jaeger explained as best as possible, before shrugging.

"When did you get here" Stone said to Guavor, Spyro glares at the ape.

"Ahem, I've been the whole time, I just didn't want to get in the way of your conversation." Guavor gave his voice a tone of that of someone who was insulted.

"Dark Crystal or not, we need to find Ash and Dark Spyro" Makil said

Isis looked at her friends "We can look tomorrow, for now, lets focus on finding a place for the night" She said

Cynder nodded "I agree with Isis, we can look for them and the other Guardians tomorrow, we need to rest up and heal our wounds, whether their physical or emotional" She said

"How about food? I can go hunt, but I could use someone to help me bring back whatever I find." Jaeger said, looking at the dragons.

"Food actually sounds great, I still had nothing, I'm in!" Sparx said, but gave the Cheetah a wierd look as Jaeger answered him. "If you can keep your noise down for a few minutes..."

"We can help too." Ganter chimed up, and Nuevo and Careena nodded.

"We'll look for shelter" Isis said

Makil nodded and so did Cynder

"Fine by me. Wich direction you will be heading in, so we don't lose each other." Jaeger asked Isis, while waving at Icestorm and Ganter to come closer. "You two'll be enough."

"Ahh, I wanted to go." Nuevo pouted.

"Maybe another time, the others could use your help." Ganter replied.

"Later... Right now, we should go help find some shelter..." Kumara said as she nervously stood beside Cynder and Isis, "you gonna come Kihei?"
Kidrath walked away from the group, "I will patrol the area in case there is any danger."

Nuevo looked nervous after hearing Icestorm, "Uhh, Isis, I'll come too." He wasn't ready or willing to be away from both of his siblings.

"Ok Nuevo" Isis said "It will be ok buddy"

Kihei walked over and hugged Kumara "Of course" He said

"You coming Careena?" Cynder asked

"Alright... we should be back within two hours, if there is still something alive in here." Jaeger replied, and took his bow again, turning around and beginning to walk deeper into the forest again.

"Dad what are excatly are these "Dark Crystals"?" Stone asked Terrador

"The wildlifife sure will be panicked after all what happened here.... I am looking for other natural hunters." Jaeger answered Icestorm. "I am going to hunt for these big spiders, sadly I don't happen to know their name yet. It should be about time that they start ambushing creatures from the tree crones."

"But dad if they drain our power then how did Ash used it to get away from you?" Stone asked.

"For sure, their strategy is to simply pounce on their victims, since their fangs aren't venomous." Jaeger explained as he lead the dragons deeper into the forest. "most wildlife never looks up, that's why this strategy works. Simply keep an eye out on the trees. Some of them spread their legs even, wich from below in the shadow, just look like big branches."

"Come on everyone, lets find a place for the group to stay" Makil said as he started flying, Isis, Cynder, and Kihei followed, but Kihei stopped and waited for Kumara

Kumara flew behind them in thought. Im so stupid! I overreacted and now Kidrath probably hates me... I know he has had a tough past, but I didn't stop myself. How am I supposed to make it up to him? she thought.

Kidrath circled the area for a bit before landing in a thick tree. He was also in thought.

Jaeger wandered for a few minutes, then slowly came to a hold, a small, open clearing. Walking up to a tree, he gently runs one of his paws along the bark, before taking a closer look. What a rookie could easily mistake for resin, the cheetah saw that it was the remains of silk that covered the fingers of his paw. "Stay close." He mumbled to the dragons that followed him, as he took steps further into the clearing, while looking up into the treetops. He moved very slowly, though he wasn't even attempting to sneak.
