"CYNDER Nooo!" I had caught up with her after running around in the temple to finally find her in her room. As soon as I opened the door I saw tears in her eyes and her tail blade at her throat. I quickly got in front of her and held her tail blade. As she tried to push it closer to her neck I created resistance for her not pull further.
"Cynder please stop, Im not about to see almost 3 years be wasted by you doing this."
It had been 33 months since the defeat of Malefor, (seems really short when you say it by months.) Remembering that day always brought me joy.
Flashback…
As soon as I opened my eyes a burning sensation went right through them. Quickly shutting my eyes to stop the pain from going on any longer. I felt grass on my back, what a feeling that was because on the crystal I was standing on. Calmness and a little breeze came around my body. Turning as slowly as possible onto my stomach was kind of hard but I got it done. Opening my eyes by the second to let them get used to the brightness. Once I was able to notice everything around me the thought and Memories of Malefor plunged my mind. The realization hit me like a train and I was starting to get frantic, "How am I alive, What is going on, Where's Cynder?" every question I had did not get answered.
Trying everything I could to calm down was a struggle, I never realized what it was like to have Questions that couldn't be answered right away. Looking around I saw beautiful blue skies, Tall lengthy trees, Green grass and just the sound of nothing helped me stay calm for a little longer. Just looking around I couldn't believe the one thing I finally had, Peace. I didn't think it would ever come ad me being able to live in a world with peace but it seems to be happening. Moaning started to get me out of my daze as I looked a little to my right I suddenly had my eyes locked on her. I as fast as possible got up and looked down at her. Pain catching my body from how much pain I was in. WIncing at it but did my best to sit down beside her I saw her. Breathing at a slow pace and twitching in her sleep.
As I kept looking down at her, the memory of what we thought were are final moments on this earth together. As is kept staring her words hit my mind, Maybe she thought I didn't hear but because of her I had the motivation to go forward and do everything I could at that moment, it seemed to have worked. I poundered and what to do, should I tell her or leave her be. I wanted to tell her but did she only saying that because she thought we were both going to die. I felt in my heart she needed an answer. Turns out I wouldn't have to wait long to tell her.
I could tell she was starting to open her eyes, I felt as I needed to sooth her.
"It's okay Cynder, it will take time."
"Sp..Spyro, is th..that you?" she was shivering and scared I could tell just by touching her body.
"It's fine Cynder, it's me, it will take time but just take it slow. We have all day."
I could tell she was struggling, the pain and hardships we've gone through must finally be catching up to both of us. It seemed to be taking less time for her, she was staring to fully open her eyes and try to stand up.
"Cyn, don't get up. Your in a lot of pain so just stay down, there is no rush."
"I'm just confused Spyro, what is going on, are we dead or are we alive. And more importantly is how, I don't get it. How are we even here?" It was hard for her but I thought of something to cheer her up,
"Will, if you feel pain then you're alive, it's as simple as that." She gave me a sly smile and she tried to stand up again but I hurried and put me wing around her back and brought her back down to the ground. "Cyn please just stay down, I don't want to see you in more pain then you already are."
"Spyro, i'm fine really I am."
"I'll be the one to make that call but right now your staying where you are."
For hours we were like this, my wing around her back, us laying in the grass just letting the breeze flow past us. This was what I wanted, for me to live with her in peace. I felt I needed to give her the answer
"Cyn?"
"Why are you calling me that?, i don't mind it just want to know why."
"Because i fell that you need a nice nickname, not the other one." I just looked into her eyes, it made me feel calm, there's nothing more I ever wanted.
"Cyn? Do you want an answer?"
She just looked at me a little confused. Was she scared or didn't know what to say. "Cyn? Do you want an answer?"
"Spy..Spyro, I don't know what your talking about." It wasn't hard to see the hesitation from her body language or words. I know she said it so I had to say it to her.
"Cyn i'm being honest here, do you want an answer. I know what you said in the core so I want to know if you need an answer."
It took her awhile just to say something, I thought she meant it."Spy.. you can't, It wouldn't work, you can't love me, what do I have to offer me, there's plenty out there so why me?" I didn't know what to say, I was shocked to hear those words from her.
"Cyn, because your the only one i've meet, because you stayed with me, because you said it to me so I feel I should return the favor."
"Spy but what happens when no one accepts me, once we return then we are out in the open, I don't see how it can work."
"It will work because I don't care, Cyn you have gone your whole life with nothing but misery so I want to give you something know one else can give you. Cynder, I love you and I know you love me back so will you accept it."
After my words I could see she had tears going down your eyes, As quickly as I could I embraced her in a hug standing on my back legs. I did my best to calm her down, to just see her smile.
"Spyro, please just tell me everything will be alright?"
"It will be Cyn, It will be."
Present
Looking at Cynder now just didn't make sense, It's almost our 3rd anniversary and she pulls THIS. did I not do enough for her, did everything I do mean nothing to her.
"Cyn STOP please, you don't have to do this. I'm not about to let you waste almost 3 years of my life when we can spend more together. You mean everything to me and that feeling won't stop. Just calm down and everything will be fine."
"Spyro I don't know how much more of this I can take, everyday im bullied and harrassed and it's been like this since we got here. It's happened more than once where I come crying to my room and everytime you bring me back. How much more of this can happen, why can't it just Stop." Her eyes are about to fall out for how much tears are in her eyes. She just wouldn't stay calm, she felt tense as I was still holding her tail.
"SO this will make everything better. What about me Cyn, all the time and effort I've put into you to make you happy, I love you Cyn and i want you to stay here with me or i'll never forgive myself. I've done so much for you and I will keep doing it just to have you with me, Please just calm down and bring your tail down."
"Spyro I don't know how long I can keep doing this, constantly im put down and rejected. Everyday I only see you for a couple of hours and the rest of the time others won't Shut the HELL up. What more do you want from me Spyro, i've done all I can but I just don't see the point anymore." She started to bring her tail to her neck but I was still holding on for my life to not let this happen. Even with all my force she started to get closer and closer every second. "Please SPYRO let me end this, you don't need someone like me, you can find better just let me put me out of my misery."
"CYN I will not allow you to do this to yourself, you are all I have, I have nothing without you. I don't have any friends but I don't need any, all I need is the love of my life. Everyday all i do is train and read, I do nothing else for the time i'm not with you. Don't you get it Cyn you all I have and I don't want to lose you."
"See Spyro, i'm only a hinderase to you, I held you back of making friends and living a normal life. All you have done is comfort me because of what I did. You don't need me."
"Yes I do need you Cyn, have you not heard me this whole time. Your all I have and your all i'll ever want to have. You are the stars of my life and all I need is you."
"BUT WHAT HAVE I OFFERED YOU, WHAT HAVE I DONE FOR YOU TO MAKE YOU WANT TO LOVE ME, TO COMFORT ME, TO LIVE WITH ME. I'M A SHAME TO THE DRAGONS SO WHY DO YOU WANT TO HAVE ME IN YOUR LIFE?" I could tell she needed something to tell her otherwise, will thinking I could feel her pull her tail closer but this time I slammed it into the floor and held it there, I heard her cry in pain but she needed to stop.
"CYN THIS NEEDS TO STOP NOW, I DON'T WANT YOU TO LEAVE AND WILL NEVER WANT YOU TO LEAVE, FOR 2 SECONDS DON'T YOU DARE BRING THAT TAIL TO YOUR NECK AND LET ME SHOW YOU SOMETHING." I looked into her eyes, she was scared and hurt. I kept hold and just waited, nothing happen while looking into her eyes but I could tell she didn't know what to do. As is slowly let go of her tail she just looked at me and just hung her head low. As I fully let go I kept looking at her to make sure she didn't move that tail. After a couple of seconds and nothing happened I quietly spoke. "Please Cyn i will be back in a minute to grab something and when I come back I don't want to see you on the floor, you need to see what I have, Please Cyn for everything i've done for you do this for me please." I was going to wait till I hear an answer. After a couple of minutes she finally spoke.
"Ok Spyro, please she me it, i'm so confused and scared, I don't know what's going on but for everything you have done for me you deserve something in return."
Ok that the end of this 2 part story, I understand my past and description isn't as detailed as some would like but it's the best I can do but I will improve on it later down the road. The reason I was gone for so long was because I was thinking of ideas but I also started school plus the hockey season. I've had a lot to do. I understand this is kind of self promotion but I did start a hockey Youtube channel under the name DaddyZads so if you just want to watch hockey and listen to music then please check it out. I will get the second part done as soon as I can but hope you enjoyed!
