Song done by Avenged Sevenfold off of their City of Evil album. There's a second song planned for the final chapter. Good luck getting through this, it's sadder than anything I've ever written.
YOURS,
G.I
Seize the Day or die regretting the time you've lost
It's empty and cold without you here
Too many people to ache over
Spyro rushed through the temple with shear fear marked on his face.
It can't be true, he cried to himself, sliding around the corner and straight into his room. Not again. There on his bed was his dragoness, his mate Cynder. Her dark scales were fading slightly and her breathing was labored. She coughed and clinched her eyes shut from obvious pain. Flame and Ember were inside with her, holding their heads down in worry. "Cynder? What's wrong?" Ember never spoke. Instead, she turned to pick up a round object in her mouth, padding over to him after she obtained it. Tears were in the pink dragoness's eyes as she gently lowered the grey-shelled egg at its father's feet.
"I'm so sorry," Ember told him mournfully. "Go to her." With that said, she and Flame exited the room.
I see my vision burn
I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
The streets we traveled on will undergo a same lost past
Tears found their way from Spyro's eyes as he pressed himself to walk over to her bedside.
"Cyn," he murmured regretfully, placing his right paw on the top of the bed. "What is it? What's hurting you?" Cynder looked up weakly, her sapphire eyes losing her light.
"Spyro," she whimpered. "I...I feel...weak." Spyro leapt up onto her bed and nuzzled her tenderly. "I don't think it went well, Love." Her body trembled as her coughs began to grow more violent.
"Easy, Cyn," Spyro whispered, tears starting to flow. "I'm here for you. Just hang on for me. " She looked up and smiled, despite her ailments.
"She would have been beautiful, Spyro."
I found you here, now please just stay for awhile
I can move on with you around
I hand you my mortal life, but will it be forever?
I'd do anything for a smile, holding you till our time is done
We both know the day will come but I don't want to leave you
Spyro took a glance at the gray egg they had worked so hard to produce. It was all for nothing. Grey showed no life, no existence. Spyro took his glance back to his lover and softly licked her cheek.
"We can try again, Cyn," he told her confidently. "One day, we'll make it. If not, I don't care. I love you...nothing will change that." Cynder let out a subtle moan and struggled to lift up her head, licking his cheek tenderly.
"Do you remember the night we conceived?" she asked, obvious exhaustion inside her voice. Spyro shuttered in memory. "It was heaven, was it not?"
I see my vision burn
I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
A melody
A memory
Just one picture
"I'll never forget it," Spyro assured her. "There will be many times, Cyn. Nightly if you wish for it." She let out a soft giggle and lowered her head.
"I'm too tired, Spyro."
Seize the Day or die regretting the time you've lost
Its empty and cold without you here
Too many people to ache over
Spyro sighed worriedly and draped his wing over her.
"What's wrong, Cyn?" he asked. She looked up, hurt and fear inside her eyes.
"Spyro...I...don't think I'm...long for this world." She shut her eyes and coughed again. "I've failed you. I promised you children, but we know what the grey egg means. I failed...as your mate."
Newborn life replacing all of us, changing this fable we live in
No longer needed here so where do we go?
Will you take a journey tonight? Follow me past the walls of death
But girl, what if there is no eternal life?
"Don't you dare say that!" Spyro suddenly roared. "How could you say you failed? You gave me a reason to live, Cyn. I don't want you to give up over one..."
"It's been three," she solemnly corrected. "Three times, same color...same unhatched child." She fluttered her eyes open only to shut them once Spyro's lips connected with hers.
"Don't leave me, Cyn."
I see my vision burn
I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
A melody
A memory
Just one picture
"I...have to Spyro," she replied with tears in her eyes. "I can't keep doing this to myself." She coughed once more and groaned as her insides complained within her.
"No," he growled out. "Cynder, we've been together for far too long for me to take that answer. Fight it, Cyn! Fight it for me!"
Seize the Day or die regretting the time you've lost
Its empty and cold without you here
Too many people to ache over
Tears streamed down his face like a waterfall, splashing onto her dark scales.
"You can't leave me, Cynder. Who else would love me besides you? You're all I have. Ignitus is gone, Ember's with Flame. I'd be alone again. Don't you remember what you told me in the Burned Lands? Since that day, I've never been alone. Don't make it come back, Cyn." He slammed his lips against her cheek, kissing as his tears poured onto hers. "Fight for me. We'll keep trying. I don't care if we will never have a child. I care about you. Don't leave me!"
Trails in life
Questions of us existing here
Don't want to die alone, please tell me what we have is real?
Cynder growled as she took in a deep painful breath. Her eyes came open again, seeing the tears inside of Spyro's.
"I don't want to leave you," she whimpered. "I have no choice now." She took in a gasp as her eyes widened. "Please...stay...with...me."
So what if I never hold you?
Or kiss your lips again?
So I never want to leave you
And the memories
Of us to see
I beg don't leave me
Spryo was crying now, unashamed of his tears as he embraced his dragoness for the final time in her life. His head lowered down, kissing her lips to enjoy their warmth once more before they turned cold.
"Please," he screamed at her, shaking violently from the shock she was leaving. "Don't go, Cyn. I need you. I love you!"
"I...do...too, Spyro," she stuttered out breathlessly. "Forgive me, my love. I...I failed."
Seize the Day or die regretting the time you've lost
Its empty and cold without you here
Too many people to ache over
Trails in life
Questions of us existing here
Don't want to die alone, please tell me what we have is real?
He felt her final breath leave her; her sapphire eyes permanently closing behind her eyelids. His angel, his only mate had given up. Spyro grasped onto her shoulders with his claws, digging them into her flesh as he violently shook her.
"CYNDER!"
Silence...
You've lost me
No chance for one more day
Fallen away from you
No chance to get back home
To answer the question, she died of labor complications.
PEACE!
