Chapter 1: A Spyro Story

Hello everyone… this is liquid-boss. I hit quite a snag and forgot the password to my account…and my e-mail. –sigh- So I'll be posting this story again. Again, a reminder of Scott and Luke (My OCs) can only be used ONLY with my permission. As a side note, this does follow off Dotd but I made it like Cynder didn't admit loving to Spyro at the end of the game, and Ignitus didn't die, happy days! Now without further rambling, gets get reading ^^.

A Spyro Story

It has been a few weeks since Spyro and Cynder had defeated the Dark Master, Malefor and his dark army. Thanks to the duo, the dragon realm has been granted their most precious wish, to be able to live in peace without fear. Spyro and Cynder where still sleeping at the dragon temple. Cynder, as always, woke up first and stretched her wings, while completely outstretched, she heard and felt a few joins pop under the pressure before she smiled, now completely comfortable. "Another day of peace, sometimes I miss the action" she thought to herself. Whilst on that thought, another more purple thought popped into her head. "I wonder what Spyro is doing?", she thought to herself as she paced around the bed, getting her paws used to the weight after a night of well rest. Still on that thought, she jumped off her bed and went to see Spyro. But the dragon realm inhabitants have no idea how lucky they are to have such a luxury that was peace.

Meanwhile in a different realm

In an old city that has now been ravaged and swallowed by gang wars, crime and an endless struggle just to survive a day without falling victim to the many gangs that now practically rule this once grand, cultural city. Two human children have managed to survive this harsh environment and not join the countless men, women and children who have died in this pointless war of control, suppression and domination. These two humans, Scott who was fifteen, and his little brother Luke, who was only a mere ten years old, have managed to stay alive thanks to their skill in combat and advanced intellect, cutting them well above the average human teenager.

For the little one, Luke, he just wanted everyone to live in peace and harmony, and for him and his brother to be treated as equals, not to be treated like dirt or worthless trash. But even in his young years, he knew it was never going to happen, most of all he was worried about Scott, he doesn't want him to do something stupid that would end up killing him, he would say, but even after two years of being hunted down, they're still fighting on.

For the older boy, Scott, the only he was taught was the way of the battlefield, he was never loved, the only exception to that was his younger brother, Luke, because of this, Scott's heart quickly became cold and stone-like, he didn't love anyone else but his brother whom he swore he'll protect. The connection between him and its brother made Scott think he was the only one who knew how to truly take care of him. But with one simple mistake, that could have changed on one a very fateful day. But that day would also mark the turnaround for the human brothers.

One stormy day, Scott had decided to leave his brother alone as he tried to search for food, but this only resulted on the capture of Luke and his near execution by one of the more organised gangs, Dragon Sword. As soon as Scott heard of his brother's capture, he was filled with an immense rage for leaving his brother on his own, and for the Dragon Sword gang for taking his brother. Scott rushed to where Luke was being held.

Scott was fighting off the three gang members who had ambushed him as he came into their range. It was during this skirmish he saw another member walking over to Luke, who was now knocked out because of blood loss. Smiling evilly he cocked the gun he was holding and took aim at Luke.

"No, NOO!" Scott shouted, as he did a horizontal slice through the three gang members standing in his way with his sword, as he dismembered them, he pushed the falling bodies away from him, then reached into his knife holster that was strapped to his side, he took out a small but razor sharp blade with his two fingers, his pointing and index finger. "Stay the hell away from him!" he shouted as he threw his knife at the gun wielding member.

His knife made a whistling sound as it shot through the air, nearing its victim, the last remaining gang member. The knife pierced him and the blade had shattered his spinal cord, rendering him paralysed, the gang member screamed in pain and dropped to the floor, Scott ran up and kicked the gun away from his hands, and then looked down at the gang member, his eyes showing nothing but rage and anger.

He pushed the knife further into the gang member's back making him scream even more. Then, he took it out of the gang member slowly, and painfully, blood dripping from the gaping wound and the knife.

Scott leaned in close the gang member's ear and said, in a low, cold voice "don't ever hurt my brother again", he then grabbed the member's collar and with one hand he spun him around before letting him go, his body smashed though the thick double glazing glass, shards of glass piercing him and going into his wound.

Before the human fell to his death, he shouted "the master will find you!". Right after he finished his sentence, he landed in the raging water with a bone shattering splash. Scott slowly began losing his adrenaline and let out a long relived sigh before walking over to his half dead brother and said "you're not dying on me yet…". And with that, Scott pulled out a first aid kit and started patching up his little brother with his knowledge of first aid.

Back in the dragon realm

The famous purple dragon, Spyro, woke up from having a lovely dream about him and Cynder. Still smiling about, it he wiped the sleep out of his eyes with his paws jumped out of his bed. He groaned softly and stretched, then let out a content sigh as he felt much more comfortable. He walked to the door and placed his front paws on the thick wooden door, then pushed it open. He was about to walk out from the door to his room until he heard a familiar sound, he looked down and smiled "I think it's time for breakfast" he thought to himself. So with that he began walking out into the quiet corridor.

Little did he know that Cynder was running towards his room, just as he walked out of his room, the only thing they both seen was each others worried faces before Cynder crashed right into Spyro.

They rolled at least three times, before finally coming to a halt at the other end of the hall, Spyro and Cynder opened their eyes, only to realise that Cynder was on top of him.

As quickly as they fell, they untangled their limbs and got up. "I-I'm s-so sorry Spyro I didn't mean to do that" Cynder said looking down at her paws in utter embarrassment, her cheeks now a bright red.

"N-No it was my fault I should have been looking where I was going" Spyro had replied to her, and then there was an awkward pause. "Um, y-you want go get some b-breakfast with m-me? Spyro said with a stutter his cheeks behind to turn pink.

Cynder giggled softly and smiled, looking up at the shy purple dragon and nodded, "yeah I would like that". And with that they walked to the dinner hall, talking about their night while leaving the embarrassing bits out.

Spyro secretly had a crush for Cynder, but was too afraid to tell her, but he didn't know that Cynder felt the same way for him but was also too afraid to tell him.

After a few minutes of walking, Spyro and Cynder made it to the eating hall where a couple of other dragons that were eating as well. They all turned around and greeted the pair happily before returning to the morning meals.

Spyro sniffed the air for a smell of the food, "Something smells nice" Spyro said licking his lips, obviously hungry as his stomach growled for food.

"I know, I'll go see what it is", Cynder went towards to the food stand to see five big juicy pieces of meat, she bite into one and used the blade on her tail to grab another before she walked back, and gave one to Spyro.

"Here you go" she said turning around for Spyro to take from her tail. He blushed softly as he tried not to look down under her tail as he took the steak from her tail as quick as he could.

"O-Oh, t-hank you Cynder" Spyro said with a studder and they both hungrily tucked into their meal. Once they had finished eating Spyro said "hey Cynder, want to go out for a while get some air?".

"Yeah you need the exercise to work this meat off" Cynder smirked as she ran her tail lightly across his belly, causing him to blush as he twitched his eye. "O-Ok then let's go" Spyro said with a weak smile. And with that they went out and started to fly.

Back in the other realm

It's been two hours since the attack on Scott's brother. Scott had finished bandaging up all the wounds his little brother had inflicted to him when he was captured. He had a gash on his back three deep cuts on each of his arms going the whole way down to his hand and going up to his shoulder and more cuts and bruises over his body, "what the hell were they doing to you Luke…?" he thought to himself.

By the time Scott was done working on him Luke stirred and woke up. "Well hello there sleeping beauty" Scott smirked, Luke smiled weakly and tried to get up, he wobbled a bit and nearly fell if it weren't for Scott. Scott was there to keep him steady and upright.

Once he could stand up without help, Scott slowly let go and went to the entrance of the building they were in to see if more Dragon Sword members had arrived.

"Scott…?" Luke said while he slowly and painfully walked to his brother's side, "Yes?" Scott replied as he was checking through the warehouse entrance, being sure not to leave any area unchecked, "thank you, I mean it…I-I'm really thankful" Luke said while slowly limping his way towards his brother, Scott turned round and chuckled, "c'mon you softy, let's find somewhere for you to rest", so they started walking out of the warehouse where Scott's brother was held.

Sometime later, Scott and Luke managed to find a run-down house to stay for the night. Pulling out his knife, he opened the door and slowly, entered, ready to strike if he needed to, he found no threats and decided this was the place to stay, he went back out and beckoned for Luke to come in. "Well this place looks... cosy" Scott said while yawning.

"Um, Brother? can I ask you a question?" Luke asked with his head down, his body still recovering from the pain he went though back at the warehouse.

"Of course you can" Scott replied as he checked the worn down beds that were left in the house.

"Ok then, if you had one wish what you would wish for? Luke said as he leaned against the wall, watching his brother with the beds.

Scott stopped for a moment and thought, and then went back to fixing the beds, "I would wish that you and I could just arrive in a lovely place surrounded by good people who understand us". He stopped again and turned round to his brother "what would yours be?"

"Mine? I would wish that we could meet a dragon!" Luke shouted happily, Scott chuckled softly and ruffled his brother's hair.

"As long as it doesn't try and kill us then I'm happy", he said, taking off his long black coat which he would be using as a pillow.

Luke smiled happily and limped over to his brother then wrapped his arms around him, hugging him as tight as his wounds allowed. "Ok, ok let me make the beds now" Scott said whilst getting out of Luke's hug. But what they didn't know that little Luke's wish was about to come true, not by a genie but by a dragon itself.

So what do you think? Was it good? Please review me I will post another one as soon as I can. Thank you for reading.
