Ayyyy, whassup peeps. So you're probably wondering who Cynder's father was, if Adrianna here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/39989807/ Is her mother.

Welp, here's your answer! Like Aetheria, Vrakdon is an Elemental God, that of the shadow element.

----
One of the elemental gods since the beginning of time, Vrakdon was born as the living embodiment of true darkness. Powerful, demanding and feared by many. The other elemental gods would grow weary of him time to time, as he was known to have enacted rather...violent or even promiscuous events throughout time.

The shadow god had an insatiable lust for battle and sex, having either secretly partake in many brutal battles, hidden in plain sight, or implanting his seed to many dragonesses, which would help further grow the shadow dragon lineage across the years. Despite the warnings of the other gods and goddesses, none of Vrakdon's actions had any real effect of upsetting the balance of the universe.

One such dragoness Vrakdon had mated with was a shadow dragoness named Adrianna, who he had grown a fascination over thanks to her skill in battle and her charming, stimulating beauty. Of course, having done the deed with her, he left her that night, wanting to continue his ongoing path of lust and battle. However, his fascination of Adrianna would grow into passion, as during the war started by the Dark Master Malefor, Vrakdon would once again lay his eyes upon Adrianna...wounded, unconscious body in the Concurrent Skies, having just escaped from Malefor's clutches.

Seeing the dragoness he had previously mated with heavily wounded, a wave of emotions hit the elemental god, emotions that he had not felt in...forever. He unfortunately could not interfere directly with the events that would occur, as it would upset the balance of the universe. The least Vrakdon could do was heal the black dragoness he would begin to truly love, though he would not stay for long as scouts from Warfang would discover Adrianna and bring her back to the city. Pleased and relieved now knowing that Adrianna would be alive, he returned to the shadows, watching over Adrianna, and would then become aware of their daughter, Cynder, one of the heroes who defeated the Dark Master Malefor, and mate of Spyro, son of Aetheria, the Aether Goddess, and Ignitus, The Former Fire Guardian now Chronicler.

Though he continues to scour across the Dragon Realms for more battles to fight and mate with many other dragonesses, he would return to watch over his now beloved Adrianna, hoping that one day he would have the courage to come fact to face with her once again.
