Somewhere in a dragonfly colony...
Spyro was feeling left out and unwanted in the dragonfly colony. Why you ask? Well he was constantly ridiculed because of his size and color. Not to mention his inability to fly. But today was too much to handle. Almost every dragonfly his age, older, and even younger than his chose conveniently the same exact time to start ridiculing him and it drove him crazy. He had to run away before he couldn't control himself and attacked someone (even though they probably deserved It.) just because he was mad. He chose to run off to The Hollow as he and Sparx liked to call the place. It was a cove like area except it had an odd effect on Spyro that helped calm him down. It had multiple caves in it; there was a pond in the center of it. But best of all was that only he and Sparx knew how to get there. It was of a circular shape, and the walls were at least 17 feet in height. He started to try and take his mind off those insensitive dragonflies. It was always hard for him to be angry at anyone for a long time.
As his mind wandered off the rude insects he heard a pair of small wings flapping behind his.
"Great they just HAD to find this place." Spyro thought. His spiteful thought was interrupted when he heard a rather familiar voice call out," Spyrooooooo! When are you, you big fat purple lug. Spyro couldn't help but smile when he heard his brother call out his name. Sparx had always been with Spyro since they hatched on the same day. But Sparx won't let Spyro forget that he is older by 2 minutes.
"Spyro buddy! There you are!" His faithful brother exclaimed.
"Why are you here Sparx." Spyro said in a rather deadpan voice.
"Why am I- IM here looking for you Spyro!? I heard what the other dragonflies were saying to you, and it was not nice of them to say things like that. And you know for me to admit something someone said was bad, it was bad." Spyro did in fact know that, because Sparx is always making rude comments about him not being able to fly, his weight, etc.
"Why do they say those things Sparx?" Spyro asked in a rather pathetic voice.
"Maybe it's because you're so different. I mean look at you! You're 200 times the size of them! They probably say those things because they feel intimidated by you. You could squash them in less than a second but you choose not to. Why don't you want to cause them pain Spyro?"
Instead of answering the soon-to-be-hero-in-a-few-months just decided to have a staring contest with the ground.
Seeing this Sparx chose to answer by saying," It's because you can't and won't hurt them no matter what. I know that and Mum and Dad know that too. We are all proud of you Spyro. So please stop sulking around like a good for nothing dragonfly and let's go have some fun!"
"Sparx?"
"Ya Spyro?" Sparx asked back.
"Thanks for that. I really needed that."
"Well what are friends for! You know I would do anything for you!" The yellow dragonfly said in a matter-o-fact tone.
It was after that conversation that Spyro realized that Sparx was more than just his brother. He was a best friend that would willingly do anything for him. The Large 'Dragonfly' also noted that he had the same attitude towards his best friend/brother.
