I slowly awoke, my head felt like a stone that weighed it down, my vision was blurry, and I closed my eyes from the pain in my head, I heard voices all around me. "It could be dangerous" - "Are you sure it was wise enough to try and save these creatures from this planet?" - "It'll be fine, I'm in charge, if this creature does anything funny, he'll be toast"-
I try to awake once more, and my vision was a little clearer this time, and the booming pain from my brain had eased. My eyes was greeted by a bright blue, clear sky, and I can feel the sharp grass beneath my hands, I groaned as I slowly lifted my head up, in the distance, I just saw grasshills and a castle out there on its own, I saw that it had two towers and a large bridge that led to the large brown open door, I wondered where I was. I heard a voice "Is it alright?" I looked to my left and I saw four strange creatures looking at me with curiosity, this had startled me, and I panicked and shouted "Huh?! What are you?! Where am I? What is this?"
A purple four-legged creature took a few steps forward and calmly said to me "Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you, I saved you from your world, and brought you here" he sighed and then went on to say "You were the only one that I could save" I just stared at this creature for a few moments trying to take in what was going on, he looked to be friendly enough but I was not so sure. I looked around and said in confusion "What? I don't understand what is going on here? What even are you?!" The creature sat down and was about to reply back, until a mole wearing a white cloak and holding onto a clipboard interrupted and said "Well, I was experimenting many worlds through our portals, and stumbled onto yours, named Earth, and I was intrigued, I did a lot of research for months about your planet, fascinating-" I noticed that the four-legged purple creature rolled his eyes and spat to him "Shut up, I'm pretty sure this creature is not interested in your brainiac knowledge of it's world, can't you see this creature is confused? Please allow me to explain to him in simple terms, not in terms of a nerd!" The mole looked down and was silent, and then the purple creature looked towards me and said calmly "Okay, I know you may be a little scared about what's happened here to you but I can assure you that you can trust me, you're safe" The creature paused for a moment, I was just stunned not knowing what to think at this moment.
"Okay, so you asked me what I am, and I'm a dragon, the name's Spyro, what are you? And please, tell me your name?" He smiled, and I said feeling slightly more relaxed than before, I looked up to the sky to gather my thoughts, "I'm a human, and my name is John, could you please just tell me what is going on here, I'm so confused, I was just out for a walk down the street, minding my own business, and now I awake to this" I sighed with frustration, and Spyro seemed to figure out how I felt, and he quickly hopped to my side, and wrapped his right wing onto my side. I was a bit startled to see how quickly he could move. "I sense your frustration" he sighed "Maybe this was a mistake, because I have some terrible news to tell you" he paused again, I felt the strength from his wing on my side, I felt the pressure that pushed me slightly towards his body, but I strangely felt relaxed, I did come to my senses and said "This is ridiculous, I can't believe I'm talking to a dragon, I've never even met one before" I was cut off by Spyro "Well there's a first time for everything" he smirked.
I saw a sparkle in Spyro's eyes, and it looked like he was about to tell me something, until I noticed a creature step forward and looked down to my dragon acquaintance and it said softly "Spyro, the sooner you tell this human of what's happened, the better" Spyro looked up to this creature and instantly said "I will Elora, don't worry, I think I need some time alone with him, it may be a bit of a shock to him you know, and he may need my comfort" I felt his wing pull me a little closer to his side, and when I heard him say those words, I felt a dreaded feeling, she walked off and spoke to the other creatures, I could not quite hear what she said, they walked off into the distance and I immediately looked at Spyro's face as he turned his head to me and I asked innocently "What is it Spyro? I'm sorry that I don't really get what's happening right now" he expressed sadness in his face and went on to say "I don't really know how to break it you John, I'm really sorry" he sighed and looked to the ground for a bit, I looked to him with curiosity, he then lifted his head and looked straight into my eyes, it felt like he looked deep into my soul "Your world has been destroyed" and as soon as those words left his muzzle, everything slowed down, and I began to realize that I'll never be able to see my family, and friends never again.
My stomach felt like it has been punched in by the biggest fist, and I felt like I crumbled to the bone, tears began to trickle down my face. "I-I-I'll ne-never be able to see my-my family, and friends" I sobbed and looked down to the ground. "I'm so sorry, I tried to save as many as I could, but it was just you, and there wasn't a lot of time" I cut him off, looked up to him and shouted "I hate you! Why did you save me for?! You've realised what you've just done to me don't you! You've taken me away from my loved ones!" I paused to catch my breath.
Spyro calmly lifted his wing from my side, and he got up and backed away from me slowly, he looked away for a second and sobbed "I was confused, it was just my instinct to save whoever I could closest to me, and you just happened to be there, I- "You've taken me away from my family! How could you! Who do you think you are! You're a stupid dragon with no sense, that's what you are!" Tears were streaming down my face, and Spyro looked down to the ground in shame. "Please, I-" "Shut up! You're a stupid useless butt-head!" I closed my eyes, and put my head in my hands and sobbed, I wanted the world to collapse around me, but it did not. Suddenly I felt warmth around my body and I heard "I'm so sorry, my friend" Spyro was cuddling me with his wings wrapped around my body tightly, and I felt his head on my shoulder, I began to feel calm.
I moved my hands away from my face, and looked to see Spyro hugging onto me so tightly, I could barely move, and I calmly said "It's not your fault" I sighed "You just reacted, I understand now Spyro" "I'll be like a brother to you John, I'll look after you, protect you, and comfort you, I owe you my love" Spyro said. I felt rather embarrassed "Urm, okay? Spyro, you'll never be able to replace my family's love" I wiped a few more tears from my face. "I know my friend" He moved his head from my shoulder, and looked directly at me and smiled "But I'll always try my very best to comfort you, and share your pain" The purple dragon sat back and looked up into the sky, a warm breeze came over us both and he said "Doesn't that feel good John?" He closed his eyes enjoying the breeze, I looked up with him and replyed "Yes, this breeze does feel nice" I looked over to him, and I got onto my knees and knelt in front of him, he still closed his eyes and was too busy enjoying the breeze, I cuddled him tightly, and this surprised him, he chuckled. "And I love you too John" he said. He stretched his wings and wrapped them around me, I placed my head onto his side and sobbed "Oh Spyro, I miss my family so much, it really does hurt you know?" "I know John- I know, but I'm here for you" I closed my eyes and sighed, I felt so relaxed and safe, I unexpectedly fell asleep into Spyro's grasp, he chuckled quietly, and carefully laid me down beside him. He whispered "You're mine now" He smirked, and wrapped his wing tightly around me, laid his head down beside me and drifted off to sleep.
