~Backstage~

Zayril: Well, here's another short chapter.

Alec: You should let me worry about the tension between me and Cyril.

Zayril: Yeah, because I'm not good at tense situations.

Hunter: What was it you were looking outside for?

Alec: I thought I saw a dragon. Maybe it was just my imagination.

*DING DONG*

Alec: *answering the door* Hello?

Mysterious Dragoness: Hi. My name's Kayla. May I stay here?

Alec: Uh...sure. Wanna do the disclaimer?

Kayla: Okay!

Disclaimer:

Kayla: Alec and Zayril do not own any canon Spyro characters. They only own their OCs. Kayla is owned by Zayril.

Hunter: And if you don't like their story, then don't read it.


~Chapter 6: Meet Kayla~

Alec hid the drawings inside his bag and crept to his bed. He didn't know what to think. He was entirely confused at what was going on. He didn't know why Cyril was angry at him, but he knew it was something important. Something he didn't understand right now, but he had a feeling it'll be explained in due time. Placing his bags to the side, he curled up and waited for sleep to take him. He envied Xander. He was fast asleep, snoring lightly, a drool escaping to the side of his maw. He was a free guy with no problems. He had an outlook on life that he never seemed to understand.

Shaking his head, he closed his eyes, and slowly drifted too sleep.

X~~~~~X

The next day, Xander found himself walking around the Temple, filled with awe and excitement. He had woken up early to find that Alec was still fast asleep. Being bored and prone to wander, he began wandering around the empty halls of the Temple. He admired almost everything he saw; from the simplicity of the doors down to the architecture on the walls. He examined and scrutinized them all.

Before long he stumbled into the Dining Hall.

"Wow…" he said as he admired the dozens of table laid scattered around. There were even already a few dragons eating at the area. Being shy, he didn't bother going over to their table. He wasn't sure how to act around them to begin with. But his stomach was demanding some food so he decided to get some.

"What will it be? Sheep, deer or rabbit?" asked the mole, turning around to display to him the carcasses.

Normally, he'd be grossed out by this. He was neither a hunter nor an outdoorsy person. But his dragon instincts had changed him and for no specific reason, the sheep seemed tasty to him.

"I'll take the sheep." answered Xander.

The mole nodded and turned around. He grabbed one of the dead sheep at the side and handed it to him. Carrying it, he got himself a table and laid the sheep there. Braving himself for something completely new, he dug in. The sheep tasted good in his maw. The taste was quite foreign, it was actually raw, but was quite scrumptious and delicious.

He continued eating until a voice emanated, directed to him.

"Hello!" Chirped the voice that sounded bubbly.

Xander looked up so fast, he even surprised himself. He found a fire dragoness; magma red scales and faded orange underbelly staring at him. He blinked, trying to think of something quickly.

"Hello," He replied back. She smiled.

"My name's Kayla. Who are you?" She asked.

X~~~~~X

"Still angry about that Alec dragon?" Asked Terrador to his ice friend. Cyril shook his head, but didn't reply. Terrador let out a sigh, "Tell you what, I'll go talk to him if he even knows this dark dragon." said Terrador.

"You'd do that?" asked Cyril, turning around. Terrador nodded, "I thank you then," said Cyril.

Terrador then left the Guardians' Room.

Alec woke up as the rays of the sun entered hit his face. He groaned as he shifted, causing himself to fall down off the bed, "Ow…" he grunted in pain as he stood up.


Xander met a girl? First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the hatchling in the baby carriage. And what is Alec's relationship, if any, that he has with this mysterious shadow dragon that killed Cyril's daughter? Please R&R
