I did not read this question so obviously like everyone else did.
Instead I read it as, "What do you think was the reason that the writers of the story left Spyro and Cynder out of the Chronicler's book?"
Now that's a question. It could be they left it open for expansion. Maybe they wanted to mess with us. The popular (and lame) suggestion is that the writers messed up and didn't know what the heck they were doing. But I think they did. It's very possible future LoS were thought of, and anyone who barks, "But it was a trilogy...!" is ignorant. Terminator, Indiana Jones, Star Trek, Die Hard--all examples of movie sagas that weren't limited to a trilogy basis. I believe that if DotD had been more successful than it was, a game to continue the Spyro-Cynder story would have continued. There are several people that are curious to how that would have gone. I know I am.
I'm curious too. One big question I want answered is if Spyro heard Cynder say "I love you" before the Earth exploded.
Here's a thought:
Sometimes the cutscenes have dialog in them, but they are more narrative as to indicate the phrase is out of place, like Ignitus' narrative at the beginning. Maybe Cynder eventually would have said, "I love you," to Spyro, but it wasn't actually seconds before the re-consolidation of the planet. Instead, maybe it was later during future adventures Cynder would have with Spyro that she confessed her love to him. Remember, we don't actually see Cynder say those words at that time, we only hear them. This would make more sense, since the "I love you" phrase is probably the most out-of-place statement in the entire game.
Perhaps the writers were preparing for an open-ended storyline and planned on having Cynder start a more romantic relationship with Spyro. But after it was determined that this would be the end of LoS, they hastily ended the storyline with what they eventually wanted to add anyway-a romantic element. They couldn't change the sequence after Malofor's defeat because it would rewrite the entire level, so they just threw in the romantic element and tried to tie it in with the extended ending. The result--confused and upset fans that try to put the pieces together of what was thought a very carefully thought out ending but was really thrown together at the very last second.
