Meeting Lost Relatives

Spyro roamed the halls of the building. He was searching for the one dragoness that had eluded him all of his life. This was the dragoness that had admitted to loving him just before he pulled the world back together. Spyro cracked a smile as he continued his search.

Cynder was lieing on her bed in the room that she was staying at. Spyro had a room further down the hall, it was maybe six doors down. Cynder just lied on her bed, thinking about Spyro and what she had said to him that day three weeks ago, when she had admitted her love to him. That day she thought that they were going to die, the passion that she held inside had burst forth, not that she minded. She had always wanted to tell Spyro how she had felt, she had, it was just disappointing that he had not brought up the subject in three weeks.

Spyro walked through the mole city, not only looking for Cynder, but strangely a wood shop. He had not found either, so he rethought his earlier idea. Instead of just going and getting the wood first, he would pick out the location, he needed Cynder for that. Spyro flew back to the building, which was a hotel for dragons, and went inside. Once there he made his way upstairs to Cynder's room. It was there that he was going to confront her.

As Spyro reached the fifth floor his legs became wobbly. Sweat started to build on his body, his breath came in ragged gasps. Despite all of this he continued on, not wanting to miss Cynder. As he drew near her room his heart began to beat faster. His tail stood on end, ready to kill anyone that was foolish enough to step in front of him. Spyro wet his draconic lips before he brought his tail up to knock on Cynder's door.

As Spyro's tail drew near her door all sound seemed to drown out, time slowed down, the only sound that could be heard was that of his tail knocking on the wood.

Cynder was just rolling out of bed when she heard the sound of a knock on her door, the only strange part was the fact that this did not sound like regular knocks. They sounded as though they came from a tail blade. Cynder was intrigued as to who would want to see her. Without thinking about it Cynder asked,"Who is it?"

Spyro took a deep breath as he spoke,"C-C-Cynder, i-i-i-it's me. Spyro."

Cynder's heart immediately started to beat faster. Could it be true, could Spyro be outside of my door. I must speak with him before he runs off, she thought to herself. Cynder cleared her throat and said,"I will be out in a minute."

Spyro let out a sigh of relief, the sigh soon returned with worry. Now he had to find a way to spend time with Cynder. His mind soon came back to what he wanted to do for her, it all became clear within that one instant. He would let her pick the spot where she wanted to live for the rest of her days, he already had a spot in mind, he just needed her input on it.

Cynder cast about her room, searching for the one that she must always carry. The object she was searching for was a crimson red crystal, more commonly known as a life gem. She had learned to carry one with her where ever she went, she had found this out during the war. She found the gem hiding under the bed, covered by her sheets that lay strewn across the floor. Rather than waiting for later Cynder put the gem into her left bracer and set about making her bed. She made sure that is was as flat as possible, so that she could rest easy.

Once Cynder was content with how her bed and room looked she opened the door and came face to face with Spyro. Spyro's face deepened to a darker purple as he stepped back, Cynder thanked the ancestors that she had black scales, otherwise she would be red. Spyro stepped back allowing her room to step out and shut her door. She locked her door and looked at Spyro. She asked,"What is it that you needed me for?"

Spyro was at a loss for words, he wanted to talk to Cynder about what she had said the day that he had saved the world, he also wanted to thank her for her help. He wanted to tell her and ask her, he just felt that this was the wrong place to ask her. He instead thought about taking her to the spot that he had planned on, however that could also be ruled out. He could also take her to the temple. Rather than thinking about it too much Spyro asked,"Cynder, could I answer your question somewhere else other than here?"

Cynder thought about it and asked,"Sure, where is this other place?"

Without thinking first Spyro said,"Great, we are going to a place that I found during the war." Idiot. Cynder only smiled, not really sure why he had said what he had said. She would just go along with it and see where this place was.

Spyro started to head toward the stairs, Cynder was not far behind. It took her a moment to realize that Spyro had left, once she did however she doubled her speed and caught up to Spyro. She then kept a constant pace with him, being silent the entire time. Only Spyro knew of this special place, after today she would also know, but it was still hard to comprehend.

Cynder stopped as they reached the first floor. Spyro stopped as well and waited for Cynder, she had lost her gem somewhere on the staircase. Spyro watched as her eyes went wide and she started to panic. Spyro could not help but ask,"What is the matter?"

Cynder said,"I have lost my life gem."

Spyro chuckled,"Why are you so worried, I have one, if you need it you can use it."

Cynder stopped looking around the ground and asked,"Really?" Spyro only nodded his head as he stepped closer to her. Cynder could feel her body temperature rise, she felt her heart beat quicken. Spyro slowly stepped away and headed for the door that lead outside of the building, followed by Cynder.

Once they were outside Spyro took to the sky as did Cynder. He angled himself towards the leftern most point of Warfang, again followed by Cynder. Spyro could feel the wind as it tickled his wing membranes, the feeling was almost like when he was younger and Spark would rub against his back. He could also feel how the wind would push down on him as he pushed up, the feeling was like that of a boat rocking on a choppy sea.

Spyro could see their destination as they neared it. It was not into Spyro began his descent did Cynder realize where they were heading. Cynder could not help but smile as she gazed upon their destination.

She giggled as her paws touched the grass, the cool, crisp grass was wet to the touch. Spyro walked to where he was facing the open land, there he sat on his haunches, and gazed out over the land. From where they were they could see the open plain that sat before Warfang, beyond the plain they could see the distant mountain where they had defeated Malefor. The sun had just begun to set as Cynder sat beside him, without realizing it she started to coil her tail around his, as she did she also started to lean against Spyro. Spyro himself seemed to be enjoying the feeling, he never wanted it to end.

Spyro and Cynder gazed out over the land and watched the sunset. They felt serenity, for the area itself was serene. Cynder leaned in closer, as she did Spyro nudged her, asking her to move. As she did Spyro asked,"Cynder, can I ask you a question, other than this one?"

Cynder said,"Anything."

Spyro took in a breath of air and asked,"Cynder, what you said after we defeated Malefor, was it true, do you truly love me?"

Cynder did not have to think about her reply, instead of answering him with words Cynder leaned in towards Spyro. That was the answer Spyro needed to see, for he also leaned in closer to her. As they neared the other they closed their eyes and felt a deep and warm sensation blossom within them. It was a feeling that was new and alien to them. Their maws felt like they were on fire as their eyes were closed, each one resisted the urge to break apart and scratch their maw.

Spyro and Cynder broke apart and stared at each other with love in their eyes, each one able to read it plainly on the others face. Spyro and Cynder scooted closer together as they watched the sun disappear behind the distant mountain. Cynder whispered,"Spyro, I would love to wake up everyday and see this view, it would also be nice to go to bed every night seeing this sunset, it is beautiful. Spyro, I love you."

It was now the moment of truth for Spyro, he either said it or he didn't, he either loved her or not. "I love you too Cynder. There is no place that I would rather be, than right here, right now, by your side." Spyro smiled at Cynder who returned the gesture. Soon the light was gone and the lamps of Warfang began to light up, one by one until the whole city was illuminated in the flame of lanterns. The way that the lamps were arranged made the city look very serene and beautiful in the night. It was truly a sight to be hold.

Spyro and Cynder walked to the edge of the cliff, there they stood and watched the proceeds of the city. Spyro started to think about what Cynder had said, there was more than enough room for him to build what he was going to build. He turned to face Cynder and leaned forward, he pecked her on the cheek and said,"Cynder, I have some running around to do, but I will see you tomorrow." Cynder seemed a little disappointed that he was leaving her, but she also had some running around to do, she had to get something to eat for that night. A thought then accord to her.

"Spyro," she casually asked,"before you go and do your running around, would you like to have dinner with me?"

Spyro had to think, he really wanted to get started now, but he needed the supplies, or he could have dinner with Cynder, meaning spending more time with her, and he could still have time to work on the project. Deciding that it would be nice to have dinner with Cynder rather than just starting his project, he followed her as they glided down towards the city streets. As they glided Spyro asked,"Is there any place in particular that you wanted to eat at?"

Cynder shook her head and said,"I was hoping that we could walk around the city and see what they had to offer." Spyro gave her a quick nod of his head as their paws touched the cobble stone pavements of Warfang's streets. Spyro and Cynder began to walk and as they did they took note of all of the moles and their various jobs. Some were running a note from one to another, some were loading wagons, setting out for a journey or trade. Some even ran booths, selling trinkets and food. One street was a complete farmers market, designed for selling food, food other that fruit and vegetables. It was designed to incorporate meat.

As they continued their walk through the city they also took note of the various jobs that were available. Many moles that they passed praised Spyro, some saying,"Thank you for freeing us."

While others said,"Great work on a job well done." Most either ignored Cynder or she was shunned, seeming as though she played no part in stopping Malefor. This hurt her to the point that she had tears running down her face, she walked into an alley way and waited for her tears to subside. It took four steps for Spyro to realize that Cynder was not walking next to him. He retraced his steps and found Cynder in the alley way. There she sat, with streams of tears running down her face.

Spyro walked up to her and draped a wing over her, Cynder took the wing and felt comforted, cared for. She knew that she had made he right choice when she fell in love with Spyro. He would always be there for her, it was him that had freed her, it was him that tried to make her stay when she left the temple. It was Spyro that had freed her from Gaul, who she hated just as much as Malefor. True with her help Spyro was able to beat Malefor, but it was he who emerged triumphant, it was he who had saved the world so that they could live together in it.

As Spyro sat down next to her Cynder buried her face in Spyro's chest. Her crying soon subsided and she was able to once again fully face Spyro. Tears were still on her face as she looked at him. Spyro leaned over and licked her tears away from her face, trying his best to comfort her. He then stood back up on all fours and said,"Come, let us get some dinner together."

Cynder stood up and followed Spyro as they continued to walk, looking for a place to eat.

At the end of the farmers market they came across a three story tall building, its name was The Laughing Dragon. It said, Come in and enjoy the freshest meat, vegetables, and fruits around. Spyro looked at Cynder, she motioned with her head for them to continue. Spyro and Cynder both walked up to the front of the building and took the first step up on the four foot high stair case.

As Spyro and Cynder stepped inside the moles within the restaurant turned to look at the two. A single mole, a male judging by his clothes, walked up to them and said,"If you want to eat here you must go to the third floor, that is were the dragons eat."

Spyro nodded and thanked the mole, then together he and Cynder stepped back outside and flew up to the third floor. Upon reaching the third floor Spyro and Cynder immediately set about exploring with their eyes. They could see where all of the dragon were sitting, where they were talking, and where they were laughing. As they continued to stare they were mesmerized, how could the moles make such a fine establishment fit for dragons?

Spyro and Cynder were so busy in their thoughts that they failed to notice a waiter had walked up to them. He nudged Spyro who immediately turned to look at him. The waiter was a mole that was no higher than where his neck touched his body. The waiter said,"Sir a red dragon requests your presence, he asks you ti dine with him and his female companion."

Spyro nodded to the mole while saying,"Alright, then take us to him." With that said Spyro grabbed Cynder's tail with his own and began to walk in the same direction as the mole.

It was near the other side of the third floor that they stopped, there Spyro saw his old friend sitting in a table with four seats. He was a crimson red dragon with a golden underbelly, upon his head lie two horns that curled out in the same direction that his did. Sitting next to him was a girl that had always wanted to marry him, now looking as though she was happy to be with the crimson dragon. The female had bright pink scales with a golden underbelly, she also had two horns that wound their way up in the same way that Spyro's did.

The crimson dragon stood up and said,"Spyro, it's good to see you again." The dragon spread out his arms, inviting Spyro in for a hug. Spyro also spread his arms out, he took a step forward and enveloped the crimson dragon in his embrace.

One the two broke apart Spyro said,"It's good to see you too Flame." Both Flame and Spyro erupted in a torrent of laughter. Both Cynder and the pink dragoness walked up to one another.

The pink dragoness extended her right fore leg, whilst balancing on her remaining three legs. She said,"Cynder, I am sorry. I should have listened when Spyro said that he didn't love me. Friends?"

Cynder extended her left fore leg and said,"Friends. Oh, and Ember, I will still get you back for what you did three days ago." Ember only giggled as she nodded to Cynder. Both Spyro and Flame stopped to watch the two females talk, after they had they went back to their proper female. Spyro sat next to Cynder while Flame sat next to Ember.

Just as the four dragons sat down a human and a dragoness began to walk over towards the four. Along their way they grabbed a chair, one for each of them. Spyro stood up as he watched the two newcomers get closer. The human set the chair down and stepped forward, he then turned into his dragon form and said,"I heard that you were in town, it's good to see that your not dead Spyro." The dragon stepped forward and laid his left fore paw onto the back of Spyro's neck.

Spyro looked at him and said,"It's nice to see you too Gravidal." Both he and Gravidal shared a laugh, although everyone else at the table was confused as to who this dragon/human was, and who was with him. Spyro looked out across the table and noticed the questioning looks that came from the other three dragons. Spyro said,"Everyone, this is my brother Gravidal, this is his friend Lynthia." Lynthia and Gravidal both dipped their heads in a friendly gesture.

Cynder spoke,"It certianly is nice to meet you two, I just have to ask, where have you been all of this time, we could have used your help in the war."

Gravidal just chuckled,"Don't you remmeber that there was no more apes after you two were unfrozen?" Cynder just shook her head. Gravidal sighed and said,"This is going to be a long story."
