Description
A little interpretation on how things would be if it had gone the right way. Zirra wasn't feared or hated, and Malefor was born to his parents, not the Guardians. His name wouldn't be known as Malefor, for his parents would have named him Aladrae, and they all would live together as a family in the clans cave. Mesphito would be the dad who told silly jokes to make his family smile, and Zirra and Aladrae would be close, rough-housing siblings.Zirra wouldn't have created her elements or killed Mesphito. She wouldn't have left the clan and found her gold jewelry. Instead, Phonorius, thrilled at the aspect that Zirra was interested in all this jewelry and fancy wear, would decorate her daughter everyday in shiny sparkly ornaments. And Zirra, even though her favorite color was gold, wouldn't mind, since all Adalisks have a fondness for jewelry and regal decor to wear.
Aladrae and Zirra would have been the wonder of the century, since no one had seen their species in either a very long time or not at all. Together, they would have accomplished impossible feats, defeat every foe who challenged them, and be the ultimate guardians of the world. Zirra would discover she was an Adalisk through her books, and would set out on a journey to find one of the last three remaining books that tells of the Adalisk, Aladrae and her parents by her side.
And Mesphito and Phonorius, the parents of both an Adalisk and a purple dragon, would be the proudest parents in history.
Aladrae's powers and abilities wouldn't have gone to his head due to Zirra constantly pinning him down and winning their wrestling fights. Zirra would have kept him grounded, and with no room to admire himself, he would discover something that pleased him more than power. Using his abilities to help and protect others was much more rewarding and made his soul feel complete and filled with happiness greater than domination ever could.
Anywhere either Zirra or Aladrae went, their family would follow and be behind. They would do everything together as family.
Some questions you may have if you didn't read the wall of description:
Zirra's so big!!
Yes. I've mentioned time again that Adalisks grow to be bigger than dragons.
Where's Zirra's gold jewelry? Why she wearing that?
If Zirra never left the clan, she wouldn't have found the treasure room with the jewelry that caught her eye. Phonorius would dress her with all kinds of jewelry, and even though Zirra's favorite color is gold, she wouldn't have minded, since Adalisks have a great fondness for jewelry.
Is that Malefor?
Yes. Malefor would have been born to his parents instead of the Guardians. The darkness never would have corrupted him and gave him that darker look. And since every time he started to feel full of himself, he'd pick a pompous fight with Zirra and she'd pin him down easily every time. He was constantly humbled, and with no room to think of how powerful he was, he discovered that he enjoyed using his abilities to help others was much more fulfilling. His name also wouldn't have been Malefor. His parents would have gave him a different name.
Really? What would have been Malefor's name?
Aladrae. (Al-ah-dray)
How would Frillisean's life have been affected by this?
She would have married Pyron and become a mother. She would never have had to leave the clan and join the dragon army. She would have been just an ordinary dragoness.
Would Frillisean still have been friends with Zirra?
Yes, but they wouldn't have been as close, since Zirra would have many other friends as well.
Would Zirra have met Cynder?
The meeting of Cynder's parents happened due to the dark times of Malefor's rule. With no Malefor conquering the world, her parents wouldn't have met. They would have gone with other mates and Cynder wouldn't have been born.
Would Spyro have been born?
No. Spyro's birth came about with the ancestors breaking the law of the purple dragon being born once every ten generations in order to fight Malefor. If Malefor had not become evil, Spyro wouldn't have been created at that time. He would have been born many generations later.
How would Zirra learn she could create elements, and what elements would she create?
She'd still create the wind element, since she always loved flying and wanted the ability to have no limits in the air. And that would have been how she'd discover she could create elements. She'd be trying so hard to fight against the wind and command it that she would eventually breathe it one time.
She would also create the element of hypnotism. A Tremor plagues Malefor and she knew from her books that Tremors are vulnerable to hypnotism. And now since she knew that she could create elements, she would set to work mastering and breathing it. Which she does.
That's all I can think of right now. If you have any other questions regarding this picture and "What would have been" concept, feel free to ask in the comments and I'll add them up here if they're significant.
Please remember, this is JUST a "What would have been" concept. It is not what it will be or is going to happen. This idea just breezed passed my mind like most things seem to do nowadays, and I felt like drawing it out.

Cool. ou could make a story,like there is two alternate dimensions,one with the original story you wrote and one with the alternate version of this pick, and they could cross, and Aladraeand ZXirra of this world would know all that thney could have turned.

oohh Zirra looks so amazing and happy with them ^^

Whoa this really made me think if Malefor wasn't evil Spyro and Cynder would have never been.....it's that classic the villain creates the hero story again lol XD

I love how well thought out you've made the character's background, it isn't just randomly slapped together, you've sat down and really brain stormed their choices and consequences due to each of their personalities

Very interesting. I think its good how you made this, but I wish there were some downside it makes it seem too perfect. If we like this so much it makes us sad that it didn't happen, there should be something that draws us to the original story. My opinion of course- also that silver jewelry definitely does not work with Zirra no offense, I much prefer her gold ones over this. (I guess that is one reason, haha)

I suppose you could say that very thing is what could draw you to the other one. There's conflict, war, families torn apart and unfair crimes and death. But there's also character building. Frillisean was known as a great warrior, even had a statue of her built in the city. Not to mention the feats Zirra accomplished, along with Spyro. There was courage, brave deaths and hero's born.
It kinda ties in with the moral I want to teach with Zirra's Return. That the reason bad things happen is to create you.
Don't worry. The reason it isn't canon is because it is too good. Things that good don't happen. This was actually just for fun.

yeah. y'know, there was once a cartoon called dragon tales. ever hear of it?

Then Cynder would have also been born many generations later.

No. Spyro was sent from the ancestors. In a sense they had him and chose the parents to birth him. Cynder wouldn't have been born ever.

Well I think Cynder would have also been born...somehow

How would Zirra discover her Adelisk power?
I mean in the canon she discovers it when she kills Mesphito.
You say that she reads the book about it but that won't allow her to truly summon her powers and create elements.
A strange thing to me is that Zirra is traveling with her family like that. She always appears to be more of a loner, even if she doesn't have to be. She was always rather redrawn towards Frillisean and also now towards Cynder. I would think she would move out and try and discover it on her own. Even with a loving family. You have to leave your parents at one time or another.
That silver jewelry looks good on her btw.

Ah, that is a very good question. I forgot to think of it 
She would also create the element of hypnotism. A Tremor plagues Malefor and she knew from her books that Tremors are vulnerable to hypnotism. And now since she knew that she could create elements, she would set to work mastering and breathing it. Which she does.
Zirra was a loner because she was left alone for so long, her entire childhood actually, minus the times Frillisean would bug her, that being alone is all she knows and is comfortable with. Imagine if you spent so much time being alone and doing everything yourself when suddenly someone wants to be around you constantly and help you with everything. Zirra is uncomfortable with is because she doesn't trust anyone and prefers to do it herself. She's the only one who can do it right, so to speak. It will take some time for Zirra to get over things.
In the world of dragons, there's no jobs, big responsibility's or restrictions or one opinion. If they want to be together as family their whole lives, then that is something they chose. It's not to say they were constantly together. Sometimes Zirra or someone else would set out alone to do something, but they would come right back because they were happiest together and preferred it that way. They aren't humans. They take on the world in a very different sense. This world is a feral world where ours is a human world. Things would be different in code.
And thank you

wow. long reply.
I see. Interesting.
However I don't see how a Tremor can be hypnotized. In order for someone to be hypnotized you have to be self-conscious and also listen to what to other one has to say. You mostly describe them as monsters so I don't see how that would work.
I do mostly spend my time alone. However I prefer it. It just seemed to me that Zirra did so as well. She doesn't seem like she is seriously trying to befriend Frillisean. She mostly is very cold towards her and acts like she wants to be alone.
Okay, it's your creation. However it would be even less likely that they would stay together in a feral world than in a human one. Because in a feral sense parents always want their children out as fast as possible so that they have more time to generate more offspring. That's the feral way of doing things.
Am I going to far again?
It does clash but not in a bad way. The contrast looks nice.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hypnotism works on the weak minded. A Tremor is a master of hunting and killing, but not much else. The way they're being hypnotized is really basically someone controlling their mind altogether to get them to do something or go somewhere. They can't fight back because they don't think for themselves as independently as say, someone who can feel and care and know what's right and wrong.
Exactly. Frillisean was constantly bugging Zirra and Cynder is forced to be, in a way, stuck with her. She's trying to be more friendly, but again, all she really knows is being alone.
Feral, yes, but not THAT feral as in wild animals who operate by instincts. These guys care about their offspring and for one another. And Mesphito and Phonorius had a stroke of luck having Malefor, as I said in their bios that they were unable to have children for so long. And sometimes, families are good with the children they have, not too anxious to have more and more.
I sure their are some dragon families out there who are like that, but all I'm saying is that this family is different in that sense, and that can indeed happen. Not everyone is the same. Sometimes what people choose to do is strange, but if it's what they chose, then it's what they chose.

Well, unfortunately real hypnotism doesn't work that way. If they can't think for themselves and have real thoughts then you also can't influence them. They need to be able to understand what you are saying to them. What you're describing is more like mind control.
Man, I should go into this but I just can't help it.
Well, Zirra could also try more to search her out.
um, I hear you but what do you understand as feral then?
Guess you're right in that.
It just all seems a bit too perfect. A bit too good to be true.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ai, then it would be a different kind of hypnotism. They don't need to understand English to by hypnotized by the magics of this world. Yes, remember, this world is full of magic. Hypnotism is much stronger and easier and actually real.
That's just how Zirra is. She won't do something if she doesn't really want to. She doesn't follow moral codes, only ones she thinks are honorable. But heck, I'm talking way into the future. Basically she will do things her way and people may not agree with it because it won't be heroic or something, or not "role-modely" enough. Zirra's not black or white. She's grey.
Basically, instead of people fearing about making enough money, they worry about not getting eaten and being strong enough to stay alive. That's what I mean.
That's why it isn't canon.
👍: 0 ⏩: 3
so I guess she doesn't really like much?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I see you added my question to the list.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
yeah, reality shouldn't have anything to do with it.
Well, it's just that she acts like it is sad that she is so alone however she herself isn't really doing much to find friends.
I see.
one thing that also occurred to me is that you seem to be more mature in this now. In the previous one it was about Zirra helping Malefor do something he wasn't allowed to do. Now it has a much more mature theme to it.

Wow, this is awesome. Looks almost the same like in my world where Otoron never corrupted Malefor in the first place and he became the great hero. Very sweet
