A letter to a legend
When I woke up everything seemed peaceful, but that was before I remembered.
When I first regained consciousness, I couldn't remember anything other than the feeling of fear and terror from the night before, but then it hit me like a bullet. I still laid there hopeless on the ground as it all came flooding back to me. I started shouting your name over and over in my mind but when I tried to shout it out loud the words just froze on my tongue. I tried to move but I couldn't. My body stayed pinned to the ground as if it were a part of it. My mind was still shouting your name as the word finally hit my lips.
"SPYRO!"
I screamed your name as if a bomb had just gone off inside of me.
Then I saw you.
Things seemed to happen pretty quickly after that. You were laying as still as ice under a tall branchy tree, and thats when i noticed where we were. There was long fresh grass that stretched for miles around us and the only tree in sight happened to be the one that you were curled up under. My body jolted as i found the ability to move again, and forced my legs to carry me over to where you were laying. My mind was still shouting your name like it was the only word it knew. I'd struggled to make it come out my mouth before, so now my lips were truly paralyzed as i stared down at your limp body. You looked so small and delicate under the ray of the sun, which only made a knot form in the pit of my stomach that took all my might not to bring up to my throat. I hovered over you like a lost fly, hoping, praying, that somehow you would be alright. I didn't know what to do or how to react. Were you sleeping? Had you dragged yourself under this tree for protection? Were you dead?
I cringed at the thought of being without you. Your eyelids started fluttering as I ran through these questions in my head. A wave of relief rushed through me as I saw start you move your head, I hadn't noticed I had been crying until now.
I collapsed next to you and let the tears flow freely down my face. I tried to hold back the sobs but they came anyway. It was like all the traumas of my life had been building up inside me and had now been set free. I could almost see the ghosts of my past slip away. Was I relieved or just scared? I couldn't tell.
"C-Cynder?"
Your voice sounded so fragile that i almost didn't recognize you. You had somehow picked yourself up and were now staring down at the helpless wet lump on the ground. All I could do was stare back at you.
"Spyro...I thought I had lost you" I wheezed.
"It's OK Cynder...everything is OK...it's over."
Your words soothed and comforted me enough for me to get control of myself. I picked myself up and threw my self back down on top of you. I knocked you to the ground and nuzzled into your neck, never wanting to let go.
