The harsh sun of Avalar stared down on the land. Small animals scurried from tree to tree. Trying to find some descent shade. Each day the ground split opend more and more, exposing tree roots to the sun. The river was drying out more day in and day out. The local's of the area started to concern. If the river dried out, the plants wouldn't get any water and without vegetation, the creatures relying on it to live, would either leave or starve.
It was now three months since Cynder and Spyro had visited Avalar. The gardens spread round Warfang were drying up at a increasing rate. The ice dragons were doing all they could in water, but they only ended up with a few clenching drops. Cyril leaded the ice dragons back to the new temple. Construction was going at snail speed. The hot weather made it merley impossible to work.
" How are the herbs and plants coping? Did they get more water today?"
" No. We tried all we could, it just evaperates once it reaches the dirt."
" What about outside Warfang?"
Cyril shok his head. " Its worse. We had to send out our strongest ice dragons yesterday, the heat started a fire, it took them three hours to contain it. They can't take much more of this heat!"
Terrdor looked down at the city. " Is it all like this?"
" We hope there are still areas that are still green and we -" Cyril was interupted by Gaia and Cellia flying in yelling out. " Everyone needs to see this!" As everyone alighted on the cliff, they could only see the swamp. " Turn around." Everyones eyes grew wide at the sight.
" Oh no."

thanks

Nice.

thanks, been trying to get a better versoin though, i like urs too!

good more now want to see wat happens wat is it want more *explodes*

Chapter Two: Ten days until distruction

What was once lush green forest and hills was now nothing but dust. It streached out as far as they could see, until it faded into the distance. The harsh winds blew the dust around, making dust tronados.
" This is bad, worse than we first thought. The outline popuation, how are they coping?"
" Not good. Most have them had enetered area's they'd never dare enter." The thought of no food made everyone quiver. " If we don't get rain soon, i can't imagene what will happen."
" Nor can I. The last time something as drastic as this happend, was over two million years ago." Terrador looked around. " Where is Volteer?"
" He leaded another group of ice dragons earlier today. He has not returned since."
" We need to be giving the last living plants in Warfang as much water as possible." Cyril noded.
" I need more help. I can't do it alone." Terrador noded.
" Spyro, Cellia go with Cyril and help replemish the plants. Its the only living vegetation we know of around this area."

It was three hours of melting ice crystals before they had finish up for the day. The colors of twilight appeared in the sky. Ranging between the golds and greys. Night generally brings dampness. But at night, the heat was worse.
" Day is bad enough, but a sleepless night?!" Faie was fatigued and needed sleep.
" Cynder, come look at this."
" What is it?"
" Its a........... rain cloud!" Cynder got excited at the thought of rain.
" Saphira, did you hear that? RAIN!!!"
" I did, i am overwhelmed!" Saphira took to the air, did three loop the loops and landed by Cynder. Purring wildley.
" What's going on out here?" Coal stood up and went over to everyone else.
" RAIN! Rain is what!" She pointed her wing up to the cloud forming above. The tempreture suddenly dropped and drops of water started hitting the ground and the creatures bathing in it.
" This is amazing! no time to waste! capture some of tat water just in case!"
The ground slipped underneath their feet. But they didn't mind.
" This is a amazing event after such a long drought."
" Yes it is, but it dosen't mean its over."

Awesome.

i double ^

Chapter Three: Nine days until distruction

It was early morning and still raining. Some of the night it hailed. And others just rain. The sound of thunder made everyone wake up.
" Thunder, how long will this last?"
" It is unknowen. To much rain won't do any good after such a drought. Little rain every now and then would do better."
" TERRADOR! Bad news, i went to the local Cheetah tribe in Avalar, they had to evacuate." Terrador looked a Cellia sideways.
" It flooded. The river got too much water. Theres not much left of Avalar." There was a moment of silence amoung everyone.
" I-is everyone alright?" Cellia shook her head.
" Hunter was swept away trying to make sure everyone got to safety on higher ground." The silence grew even more.
" What about the village just outside Avalar?"
" Everyone there escaped. Though most ended up with bruses, cuts or broken limbs. Everyone in Avalar was brought here, but we don't if Warfang would hold up to a flood big enough to reach here." Everyone kept silent, but there was releif in most.
" This is not what we need. First drought and now this!" Saphira walked over to Cynder.
" Think Faie hates this more."

The day was spent searching the land for anyone in need of help. But there was no sign of Hunter. The day seemed fast in many ways, though the cold froze them at certain points.
" Cynder! Over here!" Coal and Faie were standing next to the cliff overlooking the land.
" This isn't fate. This is a warning. The worst is yet to come." Coal looked at Cynder.
" I don't know if this got to your head, but it is the start of something."

tanks!

Cool!

Chapter Four: Eight days until distruction

The wind howled through the night. The trees whispered when it blew through.
" Uh, the other night i was sweating to the point where i couldn't sleep, and last night i was freezing to the point where i couldn't sleep!" Faie collasped on the ground and jumped back up when she felt a very cold chill. She looked around. A blanket of snow covered most of the valley. Every lake, river and pond was frozen solid. Ember walked over to Faie chuckled.
" Don't know why you're complaining, i was toasty warm all night. Well, whatever toast or toasty is." Faie shook her head.
" Your element is fire Ember, your natural instinct is that when you get cold, the fire warms you up. Lucky."
" Don't believe it. One day its boiling hot and next cool, and now......... FREEZING!"
" Yes, it is almost like four seasons in a couple of days." Cynder walked over and smiled.
" Well this is a good sign." Faies eyes widened and twitched slightly.
" GOOD!? You call this GOOD! How can it be good!"
" Well, for what i know, after it snows, you know that it will be a sunny day afterwards*"
" Oh.......... Th-that is good news."

Sure enough just after mid-day, the sun pushed its way through the clouds. Though it did not make it any warmer. Everyone knew touching the snow, moving it, would make anything underneath die. So they had to leave it.
" Today has been a slow day, although the weather should come right......... Hopefully."
" Cyril, where is Spyro?"
" He went and helped Volteer search for any others who need help and Hunter. I need some help searching tomorrow too. So anyone willing to help, will be appriciated."
" We'll help." Coal, Faie and Cynder nodded.
" Besides, it'll be good to get away from the temple for a while." Cyril nodded.
" Meet me here at dawn, no later."
They nodded and flew down into Warfang....

*: Fact: This is only what i know, but here in NZ, when we get snow, if it dosen't last long you know it'll be a nice fine day. Oh yeah, and after Earthquakes.

thanks....

Chapter Fiver: Seven days until distruction

Coal waited at the top of the cliff as Cynder and Faie joined her.
" Where's Cyril?"
" He's......... There!" Coal pointed down to the front wall of Warfang and darted down and landed quitely on the wall.
" Are you all ready?" Coal looked at Faie and Cynder as they nodded.
" Yep, lets go! But, one thing, how long will we be gone?" Cyril looked over at the hills where the sun was rising.
" A couple of days at the most." Coal nodded and readied her wings for flight.
" Alright! Lets go!"

It was the afternoon and the heat of the sun was disapearing into a nice cool breeze. Coal, Faie and Cynder were sent off to another part of Avalar for searching. They were to meet back up with Cyril in three to four days. The area they had to search would be enormus and would be why it would be at least half a week before they meet back with Cyril. Coal used her element to help her grow three trees, weave them together to make a hut. And when they moved all she needed to do was use her element to take the trees back down to seeds so they could take it anywhere no problem.
" Faie! Where's Faie?"
" She went fishing down to the stream, i should go check on her." Cynder was almost to turn around when she saw Faie behind her with a woven bag full of fish.
" What, you don't think i can handle some fishing." Coal winsed at Faie. She had fish in the bag that were most difficult to catch.
" Faie, you didn't use electricity, did you."
" No! Only on a few....." Faie pointed at the three biggest fish in the bag."
" Oh- never mind. It'll keep us alive anyway."
It was just after dark and all the stars were visible. They shined like little fireflies in the sky.
" You know, the sky is actually really dark blue? Its a fact." Coal looked at Faie and gigled.
" Yeah, i know Faie, its late. We'll be up early, we need some rest."
" See you at dawn, i geuss?" Coal nodded and headed inside.....

Thanks Bolt!
Heres another.
Chapter Six: Six days until distruction

Saphira tumbled in the air playing with her sisters catching moths just before dawn. The heat of the night was unpredictable. One minute it was hot. And next, freezing cold.
" Wake up you guys! We've got a day full of searching!" Faie growled and slothly got up.
" Come on! No one else is around. Just one little sleep in!" Coal shook her head.
" We promised. Now come on Cynder! We're waiting....... Cynder?"
" Coal, i'm right behind you. I've been standing here for a few minutes now." Coal gigled at herself and looked at the rising sun.
" No time to waste. We need to get looking. The faster we start, the earlier we can rest." She took down the trees and put the seeds in her bag and flew off after the others.
" We should fly west. Cynder looked at Saphira.
" Why?"
" Something seems very wrong over in that direction." Cynder nodded and flew over to Coal.
" I think we should go west."
" What for?"
" Its one place that Cyril or us weren't going to search. I think we should." Coal nodded and told Faie the new plan.

They had been flying in the same direction for at least fifteen minutes. There was nothing starnge that they could see.
" Cynder, we'd better turn back. There is nothing strange or anyone out here that needs our help."
" Ok."
Saphira, we're going back. Theres nothing here."
" Agreed."
As they started turning around they could hear the faintest humming sound. They all stayed suspended in the air looking for signs of where the sound was coming from. Soon it grew louder and louder into a high pitched hum. They looked across and saw something strange. Whatever it was, it was making the humming sound. It came closer and became brighter. It hit them and went straight through. Everything went dark and they all fell to the ground below......

Thank you my friend

Nice!

Chapter Seven: Five days until distruction

Faie woke up with a fright. Her wing was slumped to the ground. A sharp pain circulated her wing. She held back the pain and draged her wing along as she walked.
" Coal....... Cynder...."
Silence.
She was alone and walking through the dark.
" I, can't be alone?" There were no noises that Faie knew. In fact, there was no noises at all.
She charged up an electric ball and threw it into the dark. She watched it continue until it disapered into the distance.
She walked onward into darkness. Wary she was alone. She stoped suddenly, surrounded by little glowing lights. She wasn't afraid of them. She felt something hit the side of her cheek. It felt like nothing she'd felt before. She could feel more starting to hit her all over until she was covered in nothing but light. Everything went dark and she felt lightness.....

Faie opened her eyes. Cynder and Coal were with her this time.
" Where are we?" Coal slowly got up. Dazed.
" I-I don't know. But something strange just happend...." Coal looked over at Faie.
" Faie......... Your wing..." Faie nodded and slowly lifted it up.
" Its not to bad, it'll be healed by tomorrow, electric dragons are fast healers." Coal nodded and looked around at the clearing. She could hear a waterfall crashing into a river close by.
" Well, i think we should make camp here, Faie can't continue like that.... And it is getting late."
Coal used her element and again grew the trees and weaved them together to make a good covering.
" Its going to rain, we'd best have something to eat before it dose."
Saphira and her sisters waddled inside the shelter, each of them turned and looked outside and tucked their front legs in and partly closed their eyes and started purring contentley.....

Nice...

thank you both

Chapter Eight: Four days until destruction

It was early morning. A cold crisp breeze weaved its way through into the shelter. Coal shivered as it passed through. She opened her eyes and looked around. The three Cre mihas were huddled up in the back corner. Eyes wide, hissing and jumping at every noise. Coal walked outside. It was still. There wasn't a breeze or a bird flying by. It was almost ghostly. Coal shivered again, but this time, she felt very uncomfortable. She felt as though she needed to fly away, but from what?
" Cynder......_ Faie, come here for a second."
" Coal!"
" Just get out here!" Faie and Cynder sleepily made their way out and stood next to Coal.
" Something's not right."
" Coal, what's not right is been up this early. SLEEP!!!" Coal looked over at Faie and rolled her eyes.
A black could of birds flew past. The pull was stronger this time. She had to dig her claws in to stop herself.
" We need to get out of here, NOW!" Faie looked at Coal and laughed.
" There isn't anything wrong and nothing is going to happen."
As the last word left her mouth a deep rumble broke the silence. Faie's eyes widend.
" Please tell me that was one of your's stomachs...." Coal and Cynder shook their heads.
" Guys i think we shou-" Before Coal had a chance to finish, they were all thrown to the ground. Coal looked around. She looked over to the rising sun. One minute she could see it, the next, she was looking at sky.
" Cynder, Faie! FLY!!!" All the dragons took flight and the three Cre mihas followed close behind. Once they were in the air, hovering just above the tree tops, they looked back down and saw something that made them cringe. The ground was lifting up and dropping down. Like a green sea. They noticed the ground started to open in places, the odd tree getting swallowed into the dark.
It lasted a minute at the most, the longest of their lives.
" I'm not landing again,I'm perfectly fine living in the air." Coal shook her head and alighted on the ground. Cynder looked at the openings in the ground.
" Earthquake.?"
" Yes, there'll be more." Faie eventually flew down and landed by Coal.
" How many more?" Coal shrugged.
" I-I don't know." Saphira and her sisters sat by Coal.
" We need to get back to Warfang, no doubt Cyril has already gone back, and who knows what state Warfang will be in."
A cracking noise broke the silence as the ground crumbled underneath their feet. None of them had time to escape. It went dark as they felt themselves falling.....

Christchurch/New Zealand
22/2/11
Had a 6.3 magnitude earthquake hit just before 1.00pm
It was recorded 5kms deep.
My thoughts are with the many people who were in Christchurch when it hit.
It is New Zealand's darkest moment....

thanks

Missed a bit. Good chapter.

Chapter nine: Two days until distruction

“Cynder, Coal, Faie!” Voices echoed through Cynder's head, but she couldn't open her eyes. “There, they're down there!” Someone yelled. The sound of crumbling dirt was all around as they eased closer to them, and as Cynder fell into a chroniclers dream...

Cynder woke up finding herself in a archway, leading into a temple she'd never seen before. The temple was slightly covered in moss and flare flowers. In the centre of the temple, sat no dragon, or training area, but a pool, larger than the one at the temple of Warfang, there seemed something odd about the color, like the spirit gems. “Where am I?” Cynder's voice shattered the ghostly silence around her. “Do not be frightened.” A voice replied. “Who are you, why am I here!?” Cynder looked around for anywhere the voice could be coming from. “I am the Chronicler, you are the only person I can warn about apocoliptic event, Cynder.” Cynder froze. “M-me? She fumbled the words out. “Yes, you Cynder.” The voice again replied. There seemed something farmillair about the voice that time, then it dawned on her. “Hold on, Ignitus?”

Chapter ten: Two days until distruction

Cynder couldn't believe the fact Ignitus was the Chronicler, especially when the voice replied; “Yes Cynder, I'm the Chronicler.” But there were many more thoughts that ran like a jogging course round her head. And the first one blurted out without warning. “Isn't this purple dragon stuff, y'know, summon Spyro here?” There was a airy silence, like silence itself had vanished away. “Well?” Cynder said, slowly growing impaitent. “I tried, but I couldn't pick up any trace of Spyro.”
“So he's dead.”
“No - I didn't have anymore time to waste, not much time is left.” Cynder was trying to piece everything together, but it didn't add up. “What do you mean, not much time is left.”
“We're wasting time, look into the pool, it will answer all your questions.” Cynder suddenly felt as if she was alone. Curious for answers, she stepped closer to the pool and look down into the swriling spirit gem colored pool...
