Description Spyro peered over the valley that rested before him, his eyes scanning buildings and structures that may be several hundred years old, if not thousands of years old. Behind him, Cynder gazed longingly, only having heard stories of this place.

"So this is Arcantheus, the ancient dragon capital," Cynder said lowly, her eyes refusing to part from the endless sea of buildings.

"Yes, it is." A reluctant, yet firm voice answered her muse from behind her. A young dragon, who bore many names over his long lifespan joined the others in his eternal gaze upon the city. Spyro turned to him.

"You... grew up here, didn't you Malefor?" 

Malefor, the young drake who stood last in their party nodded in reply to Spyro. "I did. I trained here too."

Cynder's head finally parted from the expanse, turning to the former and now much, much younger Dark Master. "What happened to this place?"

"I burned it. All of it."

Goooooood this is a story I haven't looked at in years. For those who haven't watched my stuff since... well the beginning there's a VERY old Spyro fanfiction called The Malefor Chronicles I wrote based on the idea if after Spyro defeated the Dark Master, he returned as a young dragon much like Cynder had at the end of ANB. What if he had no recollection of his deeds, and was instead forced to face his sins, not as the former Dark Master, but as a young optimist who had once carried the hopes of an entire world... His memories of that era, of those events... might just be the key to solving a much greater mystery.

I never finished that story, only getting about halfway through it before I kind of got distracted by another Spyro fanfiction (THAT I ALSO NEVER FINISHED LOL ;o; )

This painting represents a future scene that went unwritten, after Malefor's memories came back and he bore the brunt of his deeds the trio of dragons, Spyro, Cynder and Malefor had to journey across the lands, visiting places to jog Malefor's memories and to find someone important to him. Here lays the old capital of the dragon empire, a proud nation that once existed in the time of Malefor. This very same city was the place where the empire died at the hieght of the Dark Master's power. Now, Malefor must face those ashes... and all those dead dragons...

There are more paintings and drawings I made of concepts for future unwritten chapters in this story, thought I'd share some of them for those who... well remotely care XD; If you never read it and care to deal with..... TERRIBLE WRITING (like really Im almost afraid to reread these stories) Then... here.... you go.... >>>>: www.deviantart.com/newlegend1/…

I agree that the writing was a bit chaotic, but once you understood the organization of the writing it is actually very well written and honestly I think one of the most unique and original fanfic’s that has ever been written on the Spyro community. It would truly be an honor if you do decide to resume work on the story and finish it. Trust me, I can wait a very long time for an update and I think many other people would agree. This story has so many ways how it can go that I spent over five months thinking about all the different possibility's.

It truly is one of my all time favorite fanfics and deserves to be finished if not for the sake of completion, but for all the dedicated fans that have, to this day, still comment on the story on how good it is and hoping to see another chapter eventually. I myself was deeply saddened when I realized that the story might never be finished. I most certainly believe that a lot more people would read this story had it not been buried under tons of other stories that have been more recently updated.

So don’t you go around and underestimate your own work just because it’s old and some of your early works. Sure, there are a few mistakes here and there, but everyone makes mistakes sometimes. The best thing to do is to learn and improve upon these mistakes until you are writing like a pro. So please, do consider resuming work on this story for I, and many others would be eternally grateful to have our curiosity finally Sated, and for all the future viewers who enjoy reading a complete story from start to finish.
Thank you for your time
A dedicated fan

Agreed, I think it would be good if you worked on it again too. I remember reading the original story about when you released ch6 or so and found the sci-fi meets magic element quite interesting That is your choice however.

I have no idea, I am pretty certain I clicked new comment when I made it, but who knows? It probably just a website glitch, sorry about that.

I've thought a lot about returning to it, and The Journey Home to finally put those stories to bed. So many ideas, unfulfilled...

Do what I do. Don't. Give. Up. Doesn't matter how long, don't give up. It's like with Metroid Prime 4. Doesn't matter that they have to restart production from the beginning, as long as it becomes a reality I don't care how long it takes.

People say they want things now, but they really don't want it immediately. They're just impatient.
