Chapter 2: Bath
Zephin gently nudged the baby purple dragon towards one of the small pools of the spring in the Dragon Temple to have his bath. Spyro was curiously looking back at Zephin as she nudged him until the Wind Guardian finally slid him in with a gentle shove.
Upon splashing lightly into the shallow pool, Spyro yelped and cried softly with fright at the sudden slip. However, a few moments, Spyro stopped crying and blinked his eyes a few times, confused at the rippling sensation of the water around his legs. He looked down to the water's surface then looked up to Zephin.
Zephin nodded her head to Spyro, then splashed some water on Spyro's back to help him get used to the water.
Spyro shuddered at the liquid sliding across his body. He then happily swooped his head underneath the water's surface and rose it back up, allowing a small wave of water to run down his back and washing away any speck of dirt that clung to his scales.
Zephin gently clapped her paws at Spyro's quick learning.
Spyro playfully mimicked his mother's action while clapping his paws. He began jumping around in the pool, splashing water wildly as he grew to like being in the pool.
Zephin chuckled while shielding her face with her left wing from the water that soared for her face and eyes, feeling them batting against her curled, but graceful sails.
Spyro laid on his back and started kicking the water with his back legs, spreading the gushes of water all across the springs and onto some of the other baby dragons that were taking their baths by their parents and guardians. Before the baby purple dragon could play any further, Zephin gently lifted Spyro from the water by the scuff of his neck to carry him to the nursery to rest.
The only thing she heard was Spyro giggling happily, fluttering his little wings as his body was dripping with water after he enjoyed having his first bath.
