Cynder`s Lonely Adventure
Chapter
1
The lonely wasteland
I woke up in a deserted wasteland, sand and hot air sweeping around me. I was dizzy as heck and something was wet under me, it was very uncomfortable. I closed my eyes concentrating on what had just happened, then I remembered, Spyro and I had attacked Malefor. I groaned and opened my eyes, a throbbing headache shattering my senses.
"What am I doing in a water pond?" I lifted my head and peered around, my vision slightly blurred.
"Spyro, we saved the world," I said with a calm sweet voice, expecting a reply. Nobody answered me and I suddenly realized that nobody was there, fear swept over me.
"Spyro!" I screamed with a frantic voice, but once again nobody answered me, the silence digging into me like a cruel twisted dagger.
"I guess I need to find him then," I groaned to myself slightly annoyed and painfully aware of the pain vibrating in my entire body. When I was about to stand I fell to the ground, a great pain cutting through my left leg, making me unable to catch my breath or move. I scrunched up my face and looked down, I saw a deep wound. Suddenly it hit me what the 'water pond' was, it was a pond of my own blood.
"Someone help, please!" I screamed in desperation in the wasteland, my voice eaching around me. No answer.
"Hmmm...I guess I need to try to walk, its a better option than starve to death," I thought stretching my front paw before me, preparing to heave myself up.
Suddenly a voice echoed from nowhere, "Oh, no you don't, you're not going anywhere, young dragoness." I peered up, my eyes blinking furiously against the sunlight, a form of a dragon slowly appeared in my vision.
"Oh great, now I need to fight someone with a damaged leg, can this day get any better," I groaned sarcastically as I laid in my great pond of blood.
"Ha-ha, I am not going to fight any one," the mysterious voice laughed, it sounded like a dragoness' voice.
"Then what are you doing here?" I asked the mysterious voice.
"I am here to aid you Miss Dragoness," the dragoness said, she stood right in the front of me. The dragoness was a gleaming white with bright red chest scales. Her horns were not much different from my own and the tail blade looked like a scythe, a deadly weapon. When I looked into the dragoness' purple eyes I saw her sadness that she seemed to tried to push away. I never asked about it, I didn't want to seems pushy and I had only just her. She was bringing a bowl of water balancing on her head and had some bandage and some red crystals in a smaller bowl in her right paw, the sight was slightly comical as she stumbled towards me. She started to wash my wound the she made some dust from the red crystals before she put on the bandage on my left leg, the pain immediately started to fade and I felt my strength returning.
"My name is Cynder. Its really kind of you to take care of a stranger like me," I commented as she wrapped the bandage around me foreleg.
"Oh no problem, Cynder, everything for those that need help. My name is Snowfla…," the dragoness paused as a tear slid down her face. I knew then that was something was wrong so I decided to try my luck and ask.
"Is something wrong?" I looked deeply into her purple eyes, the hurt in them seemed great. The dragoness quickly answered with a sob and rubbed away another tear that was threatening to come.
"It's nothing it had just been a hard day and, yeah, my name is Snowflake," she said in a slightly a nervous voice.
"Well, Snowflake, you're a great doctor, I feel a little better already! Is it any village near?" I asked her, as I slowly lifted started to lift from the pool of blood.
"Well there's a village about one mile from here." She still sounded nervous. Now my curiosity was burning inside me and I had totally forgotten Spyro was missing by that time. Snowflake helped me up from the large pond of blood and gave me some support to walk with her right wing as she stood to my right. When had walk for what felt like ten minutes I fell to the ground, exhausted and sweating, it was really hot. Snowflake urged me to carry on and after a five minute rest we started moving again. Twenty minutes later we were outside the city, tall trees on either side of the gate as vine twisted around the metal structure. I heard a many voice talking and I understood one them although I was still dizzy from the loss of so much blood.
"Snowflake who's your companion?" I looked up to the city gate seeing a shadow watching us, I gulped.
"Well, Mister, this is Cynder I found her a mile outside the city she has a really large wound at her left leg. She needs to get some sleep she is really tired. I nodded dumbly. The shadow looked down at me and then glanced at the wasteland.
"Oh come on, you know how cold it is outside here at nigth, she needs somewhere in here to sleep!" Snowflake argued, seeing him eyeing Cynder and the wasteland. "I had guessed we could try something new."
"Well I suppose so, but we cannot take excessive risks…" The voice said when he was stopped by Snowflake interrupting again.
"But we can't let her just laying outside to freeze or starve to death!" Snowflake growled.
"Okay, okay, we will let her in, but just for a week or something so she can stabilize her wound." He paused before continuing, "But if she tries something you will get the punishment for it. Understood Snowflake and, you, young dragoness?" I nodded slightly.
"Cynder don't you dare do something bad!" Snowflake whispered to me.
