The Legend of Spyro
Dark Ages
Chapter 1
Spyro and Cynder were on their way to Warfang, after the somewhat tragic event that took place in the old temple. They were above a clearing in the forest when Cynder groaned, "Hey Spyro, can we land? My wings are killing me, feels like I'm about to drop out of the sky."
"Where?" Spyro asked as he scanned the ground for landing sites.
"How about in that clearing down there." Cynder said as she pointed to it.
So they landed in the clearing, and Spyro left to go get some food.
Cynder sat patiently in the clearing, occasionally looking around at the forest that surrounded her in case Spyro came back. In one of these looks, she thought she saw something walking through the forest. She stood up and walked over to the forest edge and peered inside, looking to see if something was actually there. "Hello? Anyone there?" Cynder asked. When nothing replied she shrugged and turned around.
"Hi!"
Cynder screamed as loud as she could and fell backwards on the ground. In her shock, Cynder accidentally used her Fear element.
"GAH!" The dragon yelled as he collapsed on the ground and started to squirm.
Cynder backed up on the ground until her back was to the trunk of a tree, she saw the dragon that she had paralyzed in fear was a red dragon around her own age.
The dragon moaned as he rolled back and forth on the ground with his eyes shut tight.
"Cynder!" Spyro yelled as he ran running into the clearing with a deer on his back.
"Im fine Spyro, he just spooked me." Cynder replied as she stood up.
"It looks like he did more the spook you. Look at him." Spyro said as he put the deer down.
"It was an accident, I'm not sure how strong of a blast it was, but judging how he is reacting. It was big." Cynder said, she then sighed and mentally kicked herself for making this dragon relive his worst memory.
"Can you help him?" Spyro asked.
"No, all we can do it wait." Cynder replied.
Spyro hated to leave this dragon like this, but there was nothing he could do. "We need to go get some firewood." Spyro said as he looked at the sky noticing the sun was setting.
"I'll watch the dragon, you get the wood." Cynder said.
"Alright, I'll be back soon." Spyro said as he walked into the forest quickly.
Cynder sat in front of the dragon and watched him. "Sorry." She said, knowing he wouldn't hear her.
The dragon murmured something in his rolling and groaning. Cynder wasn't sure what he had said, but she could pick out the words 'kill' and 'accident'. Now that she got the chance, Cynder got a really good look at the red dragon. He had red scales, with a brown underbelly. He had two horns on the top of his head that reminded her of Spyro's and also had three small ones jutting out on each side of his lower jaw, they were brown. His tail tip was spiked, and the spikes were also brown. If Cynder remembered correctly, she thought he had brown eyes for the two seconds she saw them.
The dragon eventually stopped moving and groaning and just lied there.
"Are you ok?" Cynder asked.
The dragon opened his eyes, they were, in fact, brown, but they were very blood shot. "Wha-What happened?" He asked in a small voice.
"You scared me, and I accidentally used my Fear element on you." Cynder explained.
"Wha-What." The dragon said in surprise.
"I'm sorry for whatever memory I made you relive." Cynder said.
The dragon stood up shakily. "I-Its ok. My n-name is Vexx." Vexx said as he stuck a paw out to Cynder.
"I'm Cynder." Cynder said with a warm smile as she slapped the pad of her paw against his.
Vexx cocked his head curiously. "The only Cynder I know is the big, scary one. Not a beautiful dragoness such as yourself." Vexx said with a smile.
Cynder looked down and blushed, "T-Thanks."
"Your up." Spyro said as he walked into the clearing with some woods.
"Yeah." Vexx replied, "Oh, I'm Vexx by the way." Vexx said.
"Spyro." Spyro said with a welcoming smile.
"So you were the purple dragon everyone is talking about. Heard the destroyer was about to destroy the world before you stopped it." Vexx said to the purple dragon.
"How did you know that?" Spyro asked.
"I watched it fall into the volcano from a hill some miles out." Vexx said.
"Really? Do you live in Warfang?" Spyro asked.
"No, I used to live in a village." Vexx said.
"Oh, did Malefor's armies get it?" Spyro asked.
"Something like that." Vexx said. "Now, I see there is some food to be cooked."
"Huh? Oh yeah." Cynder said as she started to arrange the wood into a tent like pile. "Spyro, fire please."
"I got it." Vexx said as he breathed fire onto the wood until the wood caught fire.
Spyro backed up a bit, "Oh, thanks I guess."
After the fire was lit the three dragons all lied down next to the fire, warming themselves. Once the fire was hot enough to start roasting the deer meat, the three dragons all tore chunks off the deer and impaled them with wooden sticks to put over the fire.
"Mmmmm smells good." Spyro commented.
"Better than the plants and bugs we had to eat." Cynder added.
"Lets wait to see how it tastes." Vexx said.
Cynder hummed in reply.
As soon as the meat was ready the three began to eat it, and found that it tasted quite good. As soon as most of the deer was eaten, and every had had their own fill, the three decided to get some sleep.
"Good night Spyro. Good night Vexx." Cynder said.
"Night Cynder." Spyro said.
"Good night Cynder." Vexx said with a slight whistle.
