Spyro's Legacy I: One Life to Live
Chapter 1
Second Chance
This is the first Chapter of a Trilogy. Yet it can also be read as a stand alone just as easily.
The world took shape around me once more. The dire situation that Cynder and I had been in a mere moments before had since past.
The night was new. The celestial moons shone bright upon my back as I stared into the black scales of Cynder. She was still despite the heaving of her chest. How the either of us got out of there was the only question that could have crossed my lips, but it wasn't going to. I swore to the ancestors that I'd make the most of this "second chance," and that I wouldn't waste a moment of it.
I had willingly sought to give my life to the cause of our posterity. Yet, here the world lie beneath me. Cold dew soaked my underside. Cynder lie underneath my head. The light of the moons reflected into my eyes from Cynder's silky scales.
Cynder had allowed the same fate to come to her simply to follow me into the next life. One reason or another though here we were, both as real and as living as before.
There must have been some sort of purpose for us left. There must be an even higher cause for the both of us. Like wise neither of us would be here. Each of our lives were at end. Darkness had taken our vision and here we were cast back into this world. Later I would scope that situation out. The days of my youth were still in front of me. It would not dwell on the matter until much later in my adult life.
For now though I lie in wonderment at the sparkling sky. The unusual random shapes of stars in the sky just the same as I remembered upon first glance as I turned over. Then I noticed a new grouping of stars. One of the which roughly out-lining that of a dragon.
I stared at it a great while, while Cynder slept beneath them. Us two together seemingly after our lives had passed before us.
I shifted my gaze slowly away from the sky and back to Cynder as she continued her peaceful slumber.
We knew nothing of where we were. How bad of a situation we were in. Our naivety would soon be that of our own down fall.
