Hey you, yes Im talking to you. Your awesome, you want to know why? You're taking time out of your day to read my story, and I thank you greatly for that, whether or not you review it. Now before I go on into an endless rant, I suppose I'll let you read this. Enjoy this chapter.
Your Trip Might Be Delayed...
When Spyro felt his mind connect to his body again he struggled to open his eyes. When he did open them he quickly took in his surroundings, he was on the inside of a large tree, most likely hollowed out by the residents in the area. He wondered how he got here since the last time he was awake was when he was in the planets core reassembling the planet and Cyn- Cynder! Where was she at? The purple dragon got up and started to look around the tree for any signs of her.
After several minutes were spent searching for clues as to where the dragoness may have gone, he decided to look outside the tree. He was forced to move a boulder about half his size out of the way to get outside. He was momentarily blinded by the rush of light into his eyes, and he had to shelter his muzzle with a wing.
When he could see without sheltering his eyes did he figure out where he was. He was outside the volcano he fought Malefor in by a cliff that seemed to drop several hundred meters into jagged rocks below, turning around he could see a spacious forest that stretched as far as his eyes could see. After several awed filled moments did he remember his objective.
I need to find Cynder, maybe she knows how I ended up here. Spyro spread open his large gold wings and was preparing to take flight.
"Spyro!" yelled a voice that made the purple dragon jump in place. He turned to see who it was, and sure enough it was the dragoness he was looking for. She was dashing towards him, her eyes watering up.
"Cynder! There you are I was just about to go look for you! How did I, I mean we, get here?" asked Spyro clearly wanting answers.
"I was so worried about you, you were out for a week! I could barely get you to eat the food I got for you! I felt like I was losing you, that you may never wake up!" Cynder eyes were glossy and she was blinking furiously trying to avoid crying. Spyro could do nothing but embrace her in his wings, hugging her and feeling her sobs vibrate through his body.
"It's ok Cynder, I'm here now, there's no reason to cry. You're not going to lose me; I'll always be here for you don't forget that." Spyro whispered into her ear breaking the silence. Cynder felt a little better but her eyes were still glossy from the unshed tears.
"So Cynder, how did we get here?" asked Spyro, still holding her, until she broke away from the hug.
"Well Spyro, we were in a cave and I was forced to drag you out. I took me a few minutes to get you out of there. I found the tree behind you and put you down there. I've been getting food and water to keep you alive until you woke up." Tears started forming in Cynders emerald eyes again. "If you ever woke up." She added hesitantly.
"Tell me everything from the beginning, I want to know what you did." Spyro asked, sitting down across from her in front of the tree. He looked into her emerald eyes as she started.
"Well, like I said, I awoke in a cave and my leg was broken…" she continued on not leaving out any detail as she explained what had happened.
In Warfang, the moles were doing their routine patrols just like any other day. For them it was just another day on duty, protecting the sacred Dragon City. Even the moles who weren't on shift were working to repair the damage that had been done during the attempted siege not too long ago. Even the dragon Guardians were doing their share repairing their home. Sparx was the one giving commands to the moles as they went about their various duties.
Sparx was over watching the operation unfolding when he saw Terrador, the earth Guardian, walking around the city.
"Hey, Terrador would you mind coming here for a second buddy?" asked Sparx trying to get the dragons attention. Terrador gazed around trying to find who said his name. When he saw Sparx beckoning him, he walked over to him.
"Sure, what do you require?" asked Terrador.
"The moles need this pile of stone over there" Spark pointed to a spot along the wall. "It's needed to reinforce the wall and they need wood to the left of the pile when you put the stone down."
"Simple enough" replied Terrador as he started doing what Sparx requested. After he was done he went over to Sparx.
"Sparx, I need you to gather the other guardians and tell them to go to the main gate. I will be waiting there." Terrador started to spread his wing and take off in flight, but Sparx dashed in front of his face.
"What would be the reason if they ask for one?" asked Sparx.
"Tell them it regards your brother and Cynder." Then Terrador took to the air flying in the direction of the main gate.
It's about time. Sparx thought, glad that he would finally get some information about his missing brother. But first, he needed to find the other guardians. Cyril was easy to find, he was talking to Mason about the patrols and if they had any luck finding Spyro and his companions. After Sparx told him to meet Terrador at the main gate, he flew off in search of Volteer.
Volteer, for being a large yellow dragon, was harder to find then Sparx originally thought. Growing further frustrated looking for this illusive dragon he was about to give up on his search until he saw a similarly looking dragon in the market. Hoping it was him, and not wanting to search much longer, Sparx flew over to the dragon. Lucky it was Volteer, and he stopped in front of the yellow dragons face.
"Well hello young dragonfly, I certainly wasn't expecting you here. I figured you would be off assisting the moles in reconstruction efforts." Volteer said swiftly. Sparx could barely understand what the dragon was saying, usually he would have his brother translate it for him, but the reason he was here was about Spyro.
"Terrador wants you at the main gate, he said it was about Spyro." said Sparx, clearly wanting Volteer to go with him.
"Well, what are we waiting for then? Let us be off!" exclaimed an ecstatic Volteer, wanting to hear any information on the young dragon and his possible return.
Terrador saw Volteer coming towards the gate as he waited with Cyril. Once he landed did the Earth Guardian speak.
"As you know, we haven't seen or heard from Spyro, Cynder, and Ignitus since they left to go to the Ring of Fire. I'm sure this troubles you all as deeply as it troubles me, but I'm sure that Ignitus will bring them home as soon as they are able." Terrador paused briefly, about to tell them the part he didn't want to say.
"But I fear that their return may be delayed, as a huge storm is coming in, and it may hinder their progress home for at least a couple days. But right now, we need to prepare Warfang for the coming storm, it hasn't seen a storm in several years, and I feel that the city has gotten soft without the constant battering of storms before the war." The guardians nodded in agreement, but Sparx wasn't happy with the decision.
"So you're saying just forget about my brother and his friends, when they could be killed from the storm that's coming?" asked an angered Sparx, but Cyril was quick to calm his nerves.
"Sparx, your brother defeated Malefor, I think he can survive a simple storm for a night. Besides he has his companions with him, he'll be fine" assured Cyril, and this mostly calmed Sparx. Not wanting to leave his brother out there for too long he asked if they would send out a search party to look for them.
"I'm sure Terrador will send the best dragons he can find to search for them. But first we need to brace for the storm, it's going to be a bad one."
Once Cynder finished with her story of how she got out with Spyro, using her shadow element to get out easier than just dragging him out, did she notice the sky darken, not from the sun setting, but by the storm clouds rolling in. She watched as the clouds started coming in and she had apparently been staring for some time, because Spyro looked in her direction trying to figure out what she was staring at.
"There's a storm coming in, it's a big one too" Spyro had noticed the clouds coming in too. That broke the silence between them. Cynder broke her gaze and looked into Spyros amethyst eyes getting lost in their beauty. "We should find shelter, the tree won't stand much of a chance, I would recommend a cave to hide in, maybe the one we were originally in if it isn't too far Cynder." Spyro saying her name broke her illusion and replied with a quick "sure" as she turned around and flew where the cave originally was.
Another chapter done and in the bag, I hope you enjoyed it. This chapter was a little harder to write, due to the fact that I don't know the guardians too well, except Ignitus. The next chapter is going to be longer, I won't tell you why, but you'll see. Have fun with your lives, and thank you again for reading this. It means a lot to me.
