Glimmer and Zephyr- Spynder kids by Vergolophus on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

My TLOS fanchildren for Spyro and Cynder.

Glimmer, fire elemental, and Zephyr, wind elemental, are the daughter and son of the duo that finally put an end to Malefor's reign.

Their births were a bit monumental-- this was the first time a purple dragon had ever been recorded to bear offspring, as Malefor never scored. And to make the situation even more complicated was Cynder being Aether Touched herself. Wielding multiple elements of her own along with Aether, she was technically another purple dragon if by artificial means. Guardians Terrador, Volteer, and Cyril were curious as to how such parentage would affect the children.

The answer was surprisingly simple. Spyro bore traits of Fire heritage while Cynder was Wind. Instead of the children being random elements, they were simply Fire and Wind themselves.

Spyro, having been raised by a hidden community of Dragonflies, offered names meaning 'light' and 'illumination' that were often given to young nymphs. Spyro's name in of itself is a derivative of Spark. Cynder in turn offered up a name that she had learned of when she took to her Wind heritage roots. A sharp sounding name, but the meaning is a gentle breeze; one that is nondestructive, one akin to a summer's day.

Glimmer is a spirited fire dragoness with her fire breath as hot as the sun and flickered intensely as if blown by harsh winds. Zephyr is a feisty wind dragon with large wings and an intense gust within him, warm as if it was steam rather than just a breeze. While they are standard elemental dragons, both carry a bit of purple sparkles and flares within their elemental magic and scales; as if a little bit of Spyro and Cynder's Aether and Dark Aether was forever etched onto their legacy.
