I also thought that way about the ending and at the end Cynder tells Spyro that she loves him so I think they belong with eachother. smilie

As far as I'm concerned, what I got from the ending is, spyro and cynder were let go from the chain, lived after spyro saved the planet (thank god), and the two of them decided they would stay together even without the chain. That's what I got
from the ending.

They left the ending for fans to decide, I suppose.

It would be weird if Malefor was Spyro's father.

ok, so, herez wat i dun get: spyro had bubble breath in ETD, right? so, in AHT, how did he get water instead? i guess da bubbles lost all their air? smilie? and THEN, in the legend series, he just randomly got earth, instead of water. srry for long comment, just had to say it...
