I agree with the whole love thing. I mean it would be really nice for Spyro to get children. I could imagine Spyro and Cynder next to each with loads of little black and dark purplish tiny dragons just running round them! Ahhh cute! smilie

I agree with Spyro LUVA. You are jumping the gun a little. I myself have not noticed any strong indicter of anything more than friends either. And consider this... wouldn't YOU be "shocked" too if you saw your friend get knocked over the head or sad that your new-found friend is leaving and you don't want them to go. Your putting "friendship" and "love" to close together. I believe their MAY be potential later on, perhaps in the new game, from the last two, no... not enough has happened (in my opinion) to say that.

Question: how do we know they love eachother? They were enemies for most of ANB, and they were apart for most of TEN. Yeah Spyro saved her life twice but they haven't been through enough emotional/personal stuff together to be in love if you ask me. Yeah Cynder is guilty about her past, and Spyro forgives her, but something more should happen before we can determine if they fall in love.

Its obvisous that Spyro loves Cynder. Rewmember when she left...
'i dont want u to go' and he was shocked when she was knocked out by gaul. we know that cynder and spyro are in love, and it would be great if they had offspring.

Sorry about being off topic but when the US get the game can you keep your mouth shut and don't say anything about the game because it will spoil it for the Aussies (like me) and the UK because they will have to wait till Novemver. So can you PLEASE don't say anything! You will spoil it for me and for the UK if you do!

I hope no one dies! ive seen the message boards saying cynder hunter or ignitus will die! stop saying that! I dont like the idea of anyone going up in smoke, not even the dark master!

Yeh. Spyro loves Cynder, Cynder loves Spyro, they should tell eachover! But thats what happens when people r in love. they get all shy and floppy. Look at Brian from the Magic Roundabout! smilie
