DragonFire and Destiny~Chapter One-Long Days
The sun was once again setting at Autumn Plains, where Elora waited by a small, clear pool. She tossed her auburn hair, ears twitching this way and that to pick up any expected footsteps or wing beats. Red and pink hues sailed over her head, the clouds dripped gold and the sun was only just visible behind the distant mountains. Early stars twinkled in the east in the clear, velvety sky. Looking at the ghostly moon that waned among the budding constellations, she got off of the grass and accepted the fact that she had wasted another day waiting for him.
He said he would visit...He promised he would visit. But she just shook her head and reassured herself once more that he was, in fact, a very busy dragon, and must have much more to do. After all he had done, he must be nothing short of famous in the Dragon Worlds, and would be re-counting his tales to family, friends, elders.
Then something hit her heart like a white-hot needle. What if he has a girlfriend? Some dragon who recognized his courage as much as she did? Had he forgotten her because he found someone better? The very thought laid a great, dark sorrow on her mind, and she thought 'It can't be true...', and maybe it wasn't. But it would explain why he wasn't visiting.
Her ears twitched. She looked over her shoulder at the ladder leading up to the castle, and, sure enough, there was a figure descending it. She recognized his spotted fur and skinny physique immediately.
"Oh, hi Hunter!!" She waved.
The cheetah jumped the bottom rungs and sprinted towards the young faun.
"Hey, Elora!" He smiled. "Still waiting for Spyro?"
"Well," she blushed a little, "yah..."
He winked at her.
"Heh...I knew it. You've been waiting for him for the last few months."
She nodded sheepishly, looking at her hooves, tail waving behind her.
"Hunter...Has he...Forgotten me?"
Hunter immediately shook his spotted head vigorously.
"No way! How could he forget a cute face like yours?" He grinned widely. "He's just a little busy...I am sure he'll come soon, though. But you don't have to wait here for him. I mean, don't you get bored sitting here, day after day? For about five months now, all you've done is sit here, looking at the sky and sighing!"
She looked at him with earnest green eyes.
"...I'll stay here until he comes."
He shrugged and looked at her back. "Your choice...I'll be at Zephyr tonight with Bianca, so you can visit us if you get lonely." With a wave, he pivoted and jogged over to the Zephyr portal.
She watched him leave, thoughts passed through her head. Hunter and Bianca seemed so close, and the way that they looked into each others' eyes made her happy for them, but it also broke her heart to the core. How she just wanted to gaze into Spyro's blue-brown eyes, stroke his warm scales and feel his hot, yet stimulating breath on her skin, if only for a while, was enough to make her cry.
And she did. A tear slide down her cheek and fell into the pool, creating ripples and disrupting her reflection. She sat down again and put her hooves in the water, kicking slowly. She didn't want to see her reflection, it would just remind her of Spyro. Everything did. She stopped kicking, tail curled up next to her. She then looked at her re- forming reflection on the water's surface sadly, knowing that she'd just have to be strong. The moon that was climbing the sky. She sighed again, knowing that another long day of waiting would arrive with the rising sun the next day.
