As Spyro heard those three words from Cynder, his power exploded, engulfing the world. He could feel the lives of every living thing, including the one who loved him standing right beside him. But what caught his attention most of all was the feeling that Malefor was still alive in the dark crystals. Spyro knew he could do something about that, but his happiness towards Cynder's confession knew no bounds and he realised that if he'd endangered Malefor's life any further, he would become just like him. So instead of finishing what he'd started, he gave Malefor a second chance; in the form of an alternate reality.

Malefor awakens in a strange new world he doesn't recognise or particularly care for. Seeing only the sky, it is not the sky he envisioned. Having been fatally wounded somehow, perhaps during a fall, Malefor finds he is younger than before but the power still resonates as strongly within him. What kind of mischief will he get up to when he's fully healed?
