"I-I'm flying! No way!" Spyro exclaimed.

"See? I told you." said Ignitus.

"I still don"t get it. This totally defies the laws of physics." Sparx said.

"Very funny, Sparx..." said Spyro. "So what's this place called again, Ignitus? Dante's Freezer?"

"Yes. Dante's Freezer is a desolate arctic expanse that's littered with the machinery of war... Soldiers, frozen forever in the posture of destruction. You must find Volteer, before he's lost forever."

"Okay, I will!"

"But how come you won't come with us, old man?" said Sparx, trying to delay the trip.

"I wish I could... but alas, I must stay and guard the temple. We wouldn't want Cynder's forces moving in again."

"Oh... I didn't think of that..." said Sparx.

"Spyro... do not forget... if you encounter Cynder..."

"Run, don't fight, I got it. You've already told me that, Ignitus. Don't worry so much, I'll be fine."

"Alright, young dragon... but still, be careful."

"I will."

Spyro and Sparx then flew off. Even after they were out of sight, Ignitus stood and looked a while longer in the direction they had gone.

"The temple... isn't the only reason..." Ignitus thought to himself. "I wish I could have gone with them... but my body is no longer as strong as my will... I would have only been a hindrance to him. If only I was in better condition... but it cannot be helped. All I can do now is believe in him, and hope he returns home soon..."

He turned around, walking back into the temple.

"...stay safe, young dragon..."
Well, here we have what would have happened right after the scene where Ignitus teaches Spyro how to fly.

First of all, I wanna make it clear, with this, I am not implying that Ignitus is weak. We have seen that he is quite strong in battle, in the games. However, I think we also noticed that he tires quickly. "As I get older, it takes longer to recover.". If he had gone with Spyro, first there would've been the flight all the way to Dante's Freezer(it would've taken a considerable amount of effort from him), and then there would've been the infinite hordes of monkeys. He knew he wouldn't have been able to cope with all of this completely well, and realized that he would've only slowed Spyro down if he had gone with him. So all he can do is hope that Spyro returns safely.

I get a strange feeling this fic may be a bit too similar to Ignitus 03 O.o... oh well.

Anyway, hope this came out right; I'm never sure if my story is good or not, honestly. I only realize the next day after I post it, when it's too late to do anything if it's not good XD.

I always get the feeling I forget to put something in the author's comments O.o...
