After teleporting to the Dragon Lands, Twilight quickly sent for Ember to help Cynder. After getting her into a comfortable position ten minutes later, Ember began telling Cynder when to push and when to rest. The process took up to two hours for Cynder to fully push her egg out, which was longer than she and Spyro had anticipated. Cynder was feeling both relief and intense soreness from pushing the egg out, but Spyro gave her spirit gems as she needed them. Ember came back after cleaning off the egg and she seemed to be struggling to carry it because Spyro saw that she had beads of sweat forming between her horns. What came as a shock to both him and Cynder was the egg's MASSIVE size. It was two feet long from end to end and had a side to side diameter of 18 inches. Its shell was a pretty black and purple marbled color.
"That's bigger than we thought.", Cynder exclaimed.
"You never know dear. Maybe we are having a very big hatchling.", said Spyro in an equally puzzled tone.
Ember went to get her scepter and used it to analyze the egg. What she saw in the crystal made her eyes light up in shock, but she quickly settled down.
"What is it?", asked Spyro eagerly.
"Twins.", said Ember with a smile.
"REALLY?", asked Cynder as she popped her head up.
"OH MY GOSH!", yelped Spyro.
"CONGRATULATIONS!!", cried Twilight.

Spyro and Cynder returned home to their realm later that day. Celestia and Luna wished them well in raising their upcoming children as they stepped through the portal and carried the egg with them.
"My goodness, your egg is HUGE.", said Terrador.
"Yes, a big one for sure.", said Cyril.
"What could this possibly mean?", asked Volteer.
"Welcome home, both of you. I see that you have laid your egg, and that it is very big.", said Ignitus as he entered the temple.
"Dragon Lord Ember said that we are having TWINS!", said Cynder.
"WOW!", said all four of the guardians.
The egg began to shake loudly one night after two weeks and awakened Spyro and Cynder. In the dim glow from the moonlight entering their cave, they watched as the egg shook harder and harder until it cracked and suddenly shattered, sending shards everywhere and releasing the two little hatchlings inside, a boy and a girl. After the little ones took their first breaths, Spyro and Cynder began nuzzling them. Their son had translucent black scales which had a purple hue when sunlight hit them, and they named him Shadowstar. Their daughter was named Moonflame and she had marbled scales with a pretty swirled pattern of purple and black. They grew up fast and quickly learned their breath powers, which they had inherited two of each from Spyro and Cynder.
Moonflame's powers consisted of white fire, strong wind gusts when she flapped her wings hard, a poison mist which would spread over a large distance at an astounding speed, and a strong blast of earth that would be shot at a speed similar to that of a sneeze. Shadowstar's breath powers consisted of a purple electricity that could electrify a lake with even the slightest amount of energy, a super-cooled ice vapor that would freeze its victims as if in a crystal similar to when Spyro had used a time fury to protect himself, Cynder, and Sparx after defeating Gaul, a shadow mist that could black out an area as big as the temple for over 30 minutes, and a fear-inducing cloud that could shift the slightest of dreams into terrible nightmares. Spyro and Cynder were proud of their children and they all lived happily for eternity now that Malefor was no longer a threat.
