I think that Cynder and spyro have to run away, and cynder and spyro are about to confront eachother about their love, when this new boy dragon comes along (Inferno) and he says that he's ignitus nephew and Cynder falls for him instead!
Tell me what u think of it! smilie

thats amazing purple thats a great thought but 1 problem even if u do come up with an idea for a TLOS game they still wont accept it i know that and i dont like the idea of spyro running away i think it should be that spyro goes after malifor with cynder and have the gurdians come and babysit the egg and when spyro a and cynder get home they find that their egg hatched into nina if u ever saw her on you tube and then again have ember and flame in it 2 so it would be like the old spyro and the new 1 mixed together that would be really cool and ember and flame would be having a baby 2 and but they didnt know until the end well that was my summary of my spyro game

my idea was spyro and cynder were grown up and they were hiding in a cave in the swamp and the guardians had been looking for them for a year and there final place to look was the swamp so they found them and spyro didnt reconize ignitus because he was the chronicler and they said that malefor (spirit) had come looking for them for revenge and spyro said he was tired of fighting and flew off and cynder chased after him after she told the guardians a secret (she was going to have an egg)

thats what ive got so far and if you have any ideas to add on tell me or ill probrably have more to tomorrow.

That's not because they plan to. That's all a coincidence. For Insomniac, it's because after 3 games they ran out of ideas. For LoS, they closed the entire story.

well usaly they make 3 spyro games per company for example the first 3 spyro games are made by the same company and the TLOS games are made by the same company and there is 3

It wouldn't really excite me. I'd just be wondering how they could possibly continue the story. Otherwise, it's a Spyro game.

The only new Spyro game is Skylanders. LoS is dead and gone.
