// Interlude: New Lessons 
// Story: Spyro: The Dragon Trio of Avalar 
// by Blackdrag-rose 
//------------------------------//

Spyro, Spike, and Ember spent a few days showing Elora and Hunter the rest of the Dragon Realms, as they were curious as to what the rest of the homeworlds looked like, where the Leaders were more than happy to let their new friends visit the lands that they watched over and meet some of the other dragons, just to see what the other clans did in comparison to the Artisans dragons. The Professor, on the other claw, had been taken to Nora on the first day and so far it seemed like the two of them were busy, discussing portals and seeing where they might be able to put the portal to Avalar, to allow the siblings, or anyone else that used it, to travel between the two lands, without having to go to Dragon Shores and then take the long way around the island. Spike knew that it was only a matter of time until the pair determined where to put the portal, so he didn't see the need to bother them at all, something that his siblings agreed with as they showed Elora and Hunter around the other lands, where they were joined by Sol, as he had only seen the land of the Beast Makers and the Artisans dragons since the news had gone out that the Phoenixes were coming out of hiding, showing them that he was also eager to see the other lands as well. The siblings were happy to see that both their new friends and their old friend got along so well, and that neither of them got annoyed by the other being there, so they simply used Marco's balloon, one of the larger ones, to leave their homeworld behind and headed for the other lands that the dragons called home, giving them time to answer any questions their friends might have.

Hunter was surprised and confused as to why they needed to use a hot air balloon to leave one of the homeworlds and head to one of the others, as he was used to the square portals that connected the lands of Avalar together and allowed near instant teleportation between the three lands that he and Elora helped watch over, where Spike explained that this was the way things worked and the dragons saw no need in linking the lands that way. He was sure that Nora could make some portals like that and link the homeworlds of the Dragon Realms in such a way, but that would put the Balloonists out of a job, one that they were good at, so it was possible that they would never have the fancy portals that their friend was used to using. Hunter also questioned why the dragons didn't just make a quicker form of transportation, similar to the planes and whatnot that he was used to using, where Marco explained that the dragons were only just starting to get into the various forms of technology and that it would be some time before they had anything like what the cheetah was talking about, and that the Machinists would be the ones to make something faster for him and the other Balloonists to use. Elora, on the other claw, nodded her head in understanding and said nothing as they moved from one homeworld to the next, showing the siblings that she was enjoying what was going on at the moment and that the break from her duties had been sorely needed, even though she would be returning to said duties when she and Hunter headed back to Avalar.

Interestingly enough Elora and Hunter enjoyed looking around the desert area of the Peace Keepers homeworld, and some of the other realms that were connected to it, such as Ice Cavern, something that caught the pair off guard when they saw the wonderful caverns that existed in this land, though Elora did understand the role that the caverns played for this land, even if Hunter was barely paying attention. Both of them were stunned by the beauty of the land that the Magic Crafters called home, especially since they were seeing the land in its more peaceful state and none of the other wizards were in the middle of trying to duel each other, though Spike did inform them that this was where he would be coming in the future for whatever training that Cosmos had for him, while Ember would be heading to the Peace Keepers land for her lessons with Titan. From there they made their way to the Beast Keepers homeworld, surprising the pair by the fact that the fourth land the dragons called home was an island that was also a massive swamp, though Marco didn't head down for a closer look, which was just fine with the pair as they moved over the tops of the trees, giving them a decent view of the land below them, even though Sol mentioned a few of the things he had seen over the years as they headed over the homeworld. Of course it wasn't long before they laid eyes on the land of the Dream Weavers, the floating land that was made up of a number of small islands that were close together, where Spyro, Spike, and Ember noticed that their friends were stunned by what they were seeing, even if there were a few dragons up and about, where Spike told them that there were two sects for the Dream Weavers, one that operated during the day and the other at night.

Elora quickly put together that it was that way so that the Dream Weavers that worked during the night, while the rest of the Dragon Realms were asleep, would have their dreams guarded by the members of their clan that were up during the day, where Spike nodded his head to show that she got it right, before she and Hunter turned their attention to the sixth and last homeworld they would be seeing, until Marco told them that the Machinists dragons weren't ready to show the other dragons what their land looked like and that they would be able to see it in the future.

Sure, that had made the pair a little annoyed since they had been eager to see if, and the siblings were surprised by the fact, but determined that it made sense due to the fact that the Machinists dragons only had a year to work on their new home and that they would likely complete their work in another year, maybe two, but they were also willing to show Elora and Hunter what the land looked like when the Machinists were ready to reveal it everyone else. As such Marco took them back to the Artisans homeworld and dropped them off as soon as they arrived, allowing him to tend to his hot air balloon while they headed into the central area of the land, where the six of them joined the rest of the dragons for the meal that had been prepared while they were gone. That gave the pair a chance to see the various types of food that all of the dragons enjoyed, even though their own personal interests had been maintained as well, showing them that the cooks actually listened to what had been said earlier, allowing them to enjoy themselves as they joined the siblings and the rest of the dragons that called this land home. Even the Professor was there, having arrived ahead of them thanks to Nora using her magic to teleport them back to this area, so he was able to enjoy himself for a time as well, while the dragons celebrated what Spyro, Spike, and Ember had done for Avalar, showing them that Nestor had explained the situation to the other dragons and they had prepared themselves accordingly, even if the siblings weren't surprised by what they were hearing, since the same thing had been true for what happened after Gnasty Gnorc had been stopped.

The other couple of days that Elora, Hunter, and the Professor spent in the Dragon Realms was spent seeing how the other clans operated and what the siblings did every day, even if they were still relaxing from their latest adventure and were readying themselves for the beginning of their new lessons, something that all three of them were looking forward to, since they had no idea what the Leaders had to teach them this time around.

Eventually a week went by and Elora declared that, while their time in the Dragon Realms had been exactly what they needed, it was time for her, Hunter, and the Professor to return to Avalar and resume their duties, but, at the same time, she promised that they would come back at some point in the future and visit the siblings, especially since she intended on bringing them some of Avalar's knowledge, since she knew Spike was interested in some of the realms. Spyro, Spike, and Ember, along with the rest of the Artisans dragons, bid the trio farewell as they headed through the portal that would take them back to their home, a portal that had been installed near the waterfall that rested off to the side in the main area of the Artisans homeworld, allowing them to head back to Avalar without having to go through Dragon Shores, just as Nora intended. Of course Nora had shown up to make sure the portal worked exactly as it intended and followed the trio as they walked through the new portal, though a few moments later she returned and declared that Elora, Hunter, and the Professor had made it back to their home without anything bad happening, to which the siblings nodded their heads before they returned to the last bit of relaxation they would be allowed to have, because when the next day arrived they would start their new training. Nestor knew the siblings were eager to start their training, just to see what sort of skills the other Leaders had to offer them this time around, but he knew that they would enjoy what was coming their way, just like what happened after they bested Gnasty Gnorc, and that they would be ready for whatever the future held for them, even if he knew what was coming.





When the morning of the next day arrived, and the siblings readied themselves for what the Leaders had to offer them this time around, Nora appeared and took Spike back to the area that his training was being held in, which left Spyro and Ember to follow Nestor as he took them to where Marco was waiting, as he was taking them back to the land of the Peace keepers. That was the way things had been since Spike first developed the great magical power that was making him one of the greatest wizards the dragons had ever seen, not that Spyro or Ember were annoyed by that since they were also well known to the rest of the clans, in their own ways to be exact, so they turned their minds towards what sort of lessons Titan had for them this time around. Spyro knew that Ember was going to be given some sort of combat training, just like she had been given in the past, and that it might center around the power she had quickly developed over the course of their adventure in Avalar, the Warrior's Armor ability as Titan called it, but even then he was interested in seeing what sort of training his sister would be going through. At the same time, however, he thought about the ability that he supposedly unlocked earlier, the Voice of a Leader, or Conqueror's Spirit, and wondered what sort of training he would have to go through to even unlock the ability to use that power on his own, instead of having it come out whenever it wanted, if he chose to believe the others and what they said anyway, even though he was sure they were telling the truth, which only made him think about the power as Marco took them to Titan's homeworld.

It took them the same amount of time that it usually took them to travel from their homeworld to Titan's land, which was less than an hour thanks to how lose the two islands were to each other, before Marco reached their destination and landed on the dock so Spyro and Ember could disembark and see what sort of training the Peace Keepers had for them, hence the reason they followed Titan the moment he showed up.

"Titan, I assume that you have everything ready for Spyro and Ember?" Nestor asked, because while he knew that the siblings didn't need him to be there, and walk them to the area that Titan had no doubt prepared for their lessons, he just wanted to be sure there was nothing Titan needed from him before leaving the two siblings to their training, which they were focused on at the moment.

"Yes, I made sure to get things set up once we came back home," Titan replied, indicating that he had prepared what he needed once the siblings had returned from Avalar, as they had been preoccupied by showing their friends around the lands that the dragons called home, while at the same time he headed for the area that Spyro had used to practice his new Hover technique, and later mastered it, since that was where he intended on training the siblings.

Spyro and Ember glanced at each other for a moment, knowing that they were in for quite a training session if the last ones were anything to go by, though as they followed Titan into the area that he would be teaching them in, one they both recognized immediately, they spotted Magnus, the large sumo dragon, Gunnar, the fierce looking warrior that was holding a pair of curved sword in his hands, and Trondo, who was bouncing his own dagger back and forth for a moment, standing in the area they would be training in.

"So, we're going to fight?" Ember inquired, because what she was seeing at the moment was that three Peace Keepers were getting ready for what seemed to be a fight or a brawl, but, since this was the area that she and Spyro had used as their training grounds since Gnasty Gnorc's defeat, she had to assume that the three dragons were here to fight her and test her reflexes or something, which was why she was walking towards the Peace Keepers.

"Not quite yet. First, I must tend to Spyro," Titan said, though he chuckled for a few seconds, as it was nice to see that Ember was so eager to see what sort of training she would be doing for the foreseeable future, before he shifted his gaze to Spyro, who was now standing alone since Nestor was back near the path that would take him back to the central area of his homeworld, so he could leave and tend to his own duties before coming back to pick up Spyro and Ember when their training was over, "Now, I know you have been wondering what sort of training you will be doing, and the answer is quite simple, even if you won't like it: you'll be spending a great deal of time meditating and focusing on the power that you have unlocked, as working on your willpower will allow you to tap into it again."

"Really? Is that it?" Spyro asked, where he had to stop himself from sounding disappointed why what he was hearing, as he had been hoping that Titan would tell him that in order to use the power he had supposedly gained during the end of the war, since he believed what Spike and Ember had said, was by trying to use the power repeatedly, until he gained a sense for what he needed to do.

"Those are the basic steps to learning how to wield this power, according to my predecessors," Titan remarked, but he couldn't fault Spyro for sounding a little disappointed, as he would have been the same way if he had learned that he had access to one of the rarest powers in the Dragon Realms and that to start learning how to harness that power he needed to spend some time meditating on said power, "but once you have reached a certain point, what I have no idea, you can start on trying to project your willpower on those that are around you."

"He's really got it then? Conqueror's Spirit?" Trondo inquired, though it was mostly because he was sure that the one that would have unlocked such a power would have been Ember and not Spyro, based upon how skills she was in her own right and the fact that she had already tapped into one of the skills that a Peace Keeper used in battle, but if Spyro had the rarest power of them all, like Titan had said, it would be worth helping him draw it out and harness it.

"That's right. We were in the middle of stopping a war and he used it to get the leaders of both factions to stand down, much to the amazement of our new friends," Ember said, where she smiled for a moment, as it had been a grand moment for such a thing to awaken, even if Spyro had no idea what had happened and only had both her word and Spike's word to go on, and she could tell, just by looking at the other Peace Keepers, that they believed what they had been told, even if Spyro hadn't shown off the skill to them yet.

Spyro sighed for a moment as he jumped up on some of the stones and made his way to the highest point, using his Hover move to reach that area, before he sat down and closed his eyes, as it appeared that he had no choice in the matter and that this was the only way for him to even figure out how to tap into his new power, leaving Titan and the others to what they would be doing in the next few moments.

"Now then, while Spyro is meditating, the four of us will be testing your Warrior's Armor and, at the same time, seeing how well you react to facing multiple enemies," Titan stated, where he and the other Peace Keepers readied themselves as their weapons shimmered, and Magnus' stomach area did the same thing, showing Ember that they could extend the skill that they had spend time perfecting to their weapons, making them even more dangerous in the process, "Don't worry, we won't be trying to wound you, like we would be trying to do if we were fighting you as a real enemy, but this will give you a chance your Warrior's Armor against ours and see how Peace Keepers actually fight when engaging our enemies."

"Bring it on!" Ember remarked, though even as she said that a shimmer raced over her body as she activated her own version of the skill, reinforcing her body like she had done when they were fighting the enemies back in Avalar, and gave the four dragons a chance to ready themselves by assuming their battle stances, before she raced forward and picked out who her first foe was going to be.

Trondo grinned for a moment as Ember picked him to be her first opponent, where he rushed to meet her and raised his hardened dagger as he moved to attack his foe, though as he did that Ember spun around and let the edge of her tail collide with the incoming attack, where their two Warrior's Armors came into contact with each other and shook the area around them, complete with dark yellow sparks dancing between the pair to show the others what was going on. A few seconds later Ember forced Trondo backwards and the collision was broken, where Trondo had to harden his chest as quick as he could, because what happened next was that Ember finished spinning around and then charged right into him, intending to force him away from her with the force of her head, now combined with the power of her skill. Titan had to admit something as he watched that, as Ember was like a prodigy when it came to fighting and she seemed to adapt the more she fought, because all it took was that one collision and she knew that when two Warrior's Armor collided the air around the two fighters shook and the one that lost the match was at a disadvantage for a few seconds, something Ember had seized without realizing it, or she did understand it and that was why she lashed out where she did, but he stood back for a moment as Magnus and Gunnar rushed into the area she was positioned in. Gunnar kept Ember busy for a moment or two, mostly to make sure she didn't notice what was going on behind her, before he moved out of the way as Magnus dropped himself on where Ember was standing, which wasn't a sumo move in Titan's eyes, and for a moment it almost seemed like he succeeded in crushing Ember into the ground, but Cinder was unharmed, the giveaway that the young dragon was up to something.

A few seconds later Titan watched as Magnus was lifted up into the air for a moment, where Ember had forced herself into a stance so she could use her front legs to catch the dragon and prevent him from pushing her deep into the ground, before she heaved him into the air and then jumped into the air as she spun around, allowing the side of her tail to come into contact with Magnus' side and knocked him over into one of the earth spikes that were nearby. Titan was, once more, impressed by what Ember was able to do, as he knew that it wasn't easy to stop Magnus and his weight like that, meaning she had either done something like this in the past or they were underestimating her, something that could very well be a possibility given what was happening in Avalar when he and the others learned where she and her siblings had been taken to, but that didn't stop him from readying himself. Gunnar noticed that as well and rushed at Ember while she was taking a second to recover from what Magnus had done, which included making sure her landing was good, where he swung his blades at her and forced her to roll around for a time as she dodged the incoming attacks, almost as if she was already running out of power for her skill and that she wanted to make the most of it. At least that was what Titan thought at first, but that was when Ember rolled under Gunnar's legs when he tried to attack her, forcing his blades into a rock that she had lead him to, before she leapt up once she was behind him and used her hardened tail to knock him away from where his weapons were stuck, showing the Peace Keepers that she meant business.

Titan raised his axe into the air as he neared Ember, as he took the opportunity that presented itself and rushed her while she was dealing with Gunnar, but as he lowered his hardened axe down on her, however, she turned around rather quickly and raised her front legs into the air, where lightning branched off from their Warrior's Armors coming into contact with each other, only this time they struggled against each other for a time, showing that Ember was strong when it came to using this skill, and it ended with the shockwave ending as he knocked Ember backwards.

"You are quite skilled with that power," Titan remarked, where he shifted his axe into his other hand for a second, as he had to stop his right hand from shaking after the collision of their powers, which just showed how strong Ember was at the moment, meaning that she was going to be one of the strongest users of this power when she finally mastered it in the future, "but you have a ways to go before you mater this power, hence the reason we're training with it right now, though we might need more Peace Keepers to do that, judging from what we've done so far."

"And, at the same time, your using the noise from my training to help Spyro out," Ember stated, to which she shook herself for a few seconds, as that was the first time she had been knocked back when using this skill in battle, showing that she had faced someone with a stronger Warrior's Armor than what she had, while at the same time revealing that she had figured out what sort of training Titan had in mind for Spyro, because if her brother could block out the sounds of what they were doing he would have a better chance of drawing out his power.

As Titan nodded his head, to show that Ember had hit the nail on the head, all of them paused for a moment as they felt a slight shudder pass through the air, where Magnus even rubbed his arm for a second, like it was cold, which was the instant he and Ember glanced over at Spyro, as it appeared that he was having a little success in drawing out the power he had awakened, as that feeling came from Conqueror's Spirit, there was no doubting that fact, though this only made him wonder how long it would take Spyro to actually start using it... and, of course, what happened after Spike started his new lessons with Cosmos and the other Magic Crafters.





Spike quickly found that the area he had been brought to was the same area that he had done his previous training with Cosmos, and whoever he brought in to assist in his lessons, to which he set his satchel aside for a moment, so it didn't get damaged by whatever training he would be going through for the foreseeable future, before he turned towards the open part of the area and found that Cosmos was definitely waiting for him, with Nora standing near him. Of course, as he did that, he noticed that there were a few other Magic Crafters in the area as well, keeping themselves hidden until he walked a certain distance into the training area, though he spotted Cyrus, Ajax, Cedric, Hexus, Lucas, and Altair standing near the pillars that were in the area. Based on what he knew that the Leaders had learned, about their adventure in Avalar, it was easy to assume that this was Cosmos' version of stepping up his training, going from one on one, and sometimes even two on one when Nora stepped in, and was pushing it closer to ten on one, no doubt to really give him a chance to see a few of the other spells the Magic Crafters had access to. As such he readied himself for whatever was going to come next, while at the same time Talon rested near the satchel so he didn't get in the way, though he refrained from accessing his magic at the moment, mostly to wait and see what Cosmos had to tell him, but he did keep an eye on the other dragons, just in case one of them made a move towards him.

"Now then, I know you are eager to see what sort of training we're going to be doing," Cosmos said, though as he said that the rest of the assembled Magic Crafters moved out from where they were standing and readied themselves for what they were going to be doing once he was done talking, while noticing that Spike was already waiting for all of them, even if he had no idea what they would be doing, "What we'll be doing is the same thing that we did before you and your siblings were called to Avalar to help them with their problems, meaning we'll be engaging in a magical battle between the eight of us and you, to see what your capable of and give you an idea of what sort of spells we have access to... even though I have the feeling you'll recognize some of these spells, since you can use Storm's Wrath."

"An incredibly powerful spell, and highly dangerous if things go wrong," Altair commented, which made sense due to the fact that he was one of the dragons that had mastered the art of manipulating the weather that was around him, so it was possible that he had worked on that spell once or twice in the past, before some lightning crackled around his hands as he glanced at Spike, showing that he was getting ready for their fight, "I am eager to see what you are capable of, and that's without the power of the advanced spell you used."

"Well then, I'm eager to see what you have to throw at me." Spike replied, though at the same time he readied his own magical energies as he glanced at the Magic Crafters that were around him at the moment, as he was waiting to see what they were going to do first, basically allowing them to make the first move so he could react accordingly, especially since he had no idea what sort of spells they were going to use against him.

The first thing that Spike noticed was that Cosmos waved his hand and that seemed to be the signal for the others to start the training session, which was where Altair raised his hands and loosed the lightning he had been preparing, where Spike had to roll out of the way to avoid the attack, but he did notice that, while the attack missed him, it did strike a new barrier that filled the area they were in, one that Nora seemed to be powering. Spike knew there was another reason for her to be here, to force him to not rely on the Substitution spell he had used when he trained against Cosmos, or the rest of the Teleportation spells he had access to, to which he pushed himself backwards as a pair of fireballs struck the area he had been in, showing that the Magic Crafters were going to pressure him and test him to the best of their ability. Those weren't the only spells the others were limited to, as Spike noticed that shards of ice were being sent in his direction and he had to force himself out of the area before he could be hit, even if he had to move again as more lightning came at him from some of the other dragons. Cosmos, on the other claw, stood there for a moment and watched what was going on, especially when Spike threw up a barrier to stop some of the spells from hitting him, before he waved his staff and loosed a burst of magical power at the shimmering shell that was protecting Spike, shattering the spell rather easily, though while that would have been followed by the young dragon using the Substitution spell to get out of the area, like in the past, this time Spike rushed to another part of the training area as he and the others focused on him.

For a moment Cosmos wondered if Spike was just going to keep running and do nothing to fight back, but that was when he shimmered for a moment and seemed to separate into several Mirror Images, causing him to raise an eyebrow for a second, as he wasn't expecting the young dragon to have developed this spell as well, even though he should have seen something like this coming due to the usage of Storm's Wrath, but all that meant was that he and the others had to be careful, since they had no idea which one was the real Spike.

That information didn't stop him and the other Magic Crafters from using their spells against Spike and his clones, as if they actually hit one of the clones that one would be knocked out and be reduced to nothing, allowing them to narrow down where Spike was located, while at the same time he noticed that all of the Spikes were in the middle of preparing their own spells. Cosmos had to admit that it was interesting to see Spike use this sort of spell, since he wasn't sure where the young dragon had even learned how to use the Mirror Images spell, and the others were even surprised by this fact as well, but when his next blast of lightning struck one of the clones he found out something that he wasn't expecting, as the clone continued moving, instead of being reduced to nothing. The other Magic Crafters seemed surprised by that as well, but that was when the clone that Cosmos had hit rushed towards him and dissolved into a temporary blinding flash that caused him to shield his eyes for a moment, but the moment he was able to open his eyes again a burst of Arcane Missiles slammed into his chest and knocked him backwards a bit, informing him of the fact that Spike was using the clones as a diversion so he could actually hit his foes while they were distracted. Of course the others noticed that and struck some of the other clones, but this time they threw up a barrier after doing so, protecting themselves from the blinding lights, which cancelled out what Spike was trying to do, and that also stopped the Arcane Missiles from hitting them, showing Spike that he was going to have to do better than that if he wanted to overpower any of them, which was going to be hard when the young dragon considered how strong his opponents were.

A few moments later the last of the clones were taken care of and Spike was the last one standing, though as he came to a stop for a second, allowing Ajax to loose some fireballs at him, that was the instant that Spike turned around and took a deep breath for a moment, which was when he loosed his flames at them, or at least that was what Cosmos and the others were expecting, even if the reality was that he used an ice breath to freeze the fireballs and let them crash to the ground around him, breaking them in seconds.

"Interesting, an icy breath," Lucas said, as none of them were expecting something like this when they agreed to help train Spike, but, at the same time, he knew that Spike wasn't to be underestimated and that they had to keep their guards up, so they filed this information away for later as they prepared themselves for any additional tricks that Spike might have for them, since they had no idea what else he had mastered during his latest adventure.

Cosmos nodded his head in agreement, because while all of them were surprised by this information, since he hadn't seen the ice breath or heard of it before this point in time, he knew that Spike was thinking of a plan that would help him overcome their tactics, so to prevent anything like that from happening he raised his staff and gathered a decent amount of magic energy, forming a sphere of energy that had the same color as the Arcane Missiles, an Arcane Orb, and loosed it at Spike... but in the following seconds Spike rolled out of the way, even though he hadn't seen the attack coming, before he came to a stop and focused on them, with a small red ring around his pupils.

"No way... is that what I think it is?" Nora commented, where she appeared beside Cosmos for a moment, despite the fact that she was focusing on Spike at the moment, something that the rest of the group was doing, as all of them were in the middle of trying to figure out what was going on and had likely come to the same conclusion that she had reached in a matter of seconds, even if it was hard to believe what she was seeing.

"Only one way to find out," Lucas said, which was the moment that he and the other Magic Crafters raised their hands and their staffs, clearly gathering their magic for a few seconds as they focused on Spike, before they loosed a number of smaller blasts that were designed to do next to no damage to whoever or whatever they hit, while giving them a chance to see if what they had seen was real or not.

For a second it seemed like Spike was doing nothing, though as the blasts neared him, however, the Magic Crafters watched as he moved and rolled out of the way of the incoming attacks, with the red ring in his eyes, and even the pair of blasts that came from behind were avoided as well, much to their surprise, but in that moment Cosmos nodded his head a little bit, confirming what Nora had just asked.

"There's no doubt about it, that's Eyes of the Seer, or Sage's Vision," Cosmos said, naming the third and final special ability that a dragon was able to use, but while it was a rare power in this day and age, sort of like the power that Spyro had unlocked, it was still more common than Conqueror's Spirit was, though at this point he wasn't surprised by this, not when he considered what Spyro and Ember were able to do, "the ability to briefly peer into the future, ranging from a few moments to a few minutes depending on one's skill, allowing the user to see incoming attacks and react accordingly, and that's only the basics... it is said that this is an observation power, but I have no idea what that might mean, which means we'll learn more about it as Spike uses his new skill."

Even as he said that, however, Cosmos had the feeling that Spike, much like Spyro, would unlock the true power of the new ability that he had unlocked and would impress the dragons of the Dragon Realms in the process, though that made him curious as to what the future held for the siblings, something that would make itself known in due time, meaning all they had to do was wait and see what happened next.
