Spyro & Cynder: Shattered Midnights

Chapter 2: Free Fall

Spyro, now feeling better after venting through use of his song, flew towards a clearing in the forest. It had become a solace for him, sleeping under the stars, the white stars against the black sky reminding him of Cynder. But as he landed he heard the one and only sound that could make fear invade his heart, Cynder crying. As he ran towards the sound he saw Cynder leaning against a tree, crying a tiny stream at her feet.

"Cynder?" He called softly.

\"Why are you here Spyro?" she sniffled softly, "I don't think Ember wants to be left alone for so long."

"Why would I care what Ember thinks?" he asked, the words struck hope into Cynder. "Cynder, you're my whole world, you gave me a friend, a companion, you were always there for me, and you gave me someone who loves me, someone who I love more than all else."

"Who?" asked Cynder, already knowing what he would say.

"You Cynder, I-," he took a deep breath, "I love you."

"But that song, you sang to Ember and-."

"A song that I had meant for you," he said softly. Cynder broke down sobbing, tears of happiness streaming down her face. Spyro, scared that his words might have hurt her, slowly stepped towards her. "Cynder?"

"I love you Spyro," she cried as she leaned against him.
