Chapter 7
Cynder awoke to find herself in chains, at the helm and mercy of Kaos, "wakey-wakey, Skyloser, it's time for some fun," Kaos whispered deviously as he walked towards her, "ah, Kaos, what do I owe the displeasure" Cynder rolled her eyes, "SILENCE, I need no back talk from you, GLUMSHANKS" Kaos called for his troll servamt, "you bellowed, sir?" Glumshanks groaned miserably as he trotted up to Kaos, "bring me my torture equipment, Glummy, the REALLY dangerous equipment too" Kaos grinned as Glumshanks sighed and replied with "yes sir, right away sir" and Glumshanks walked off, "now then, CYNDER, yes that's right I know your name, don't question it!" Kaos raised his finger up, "we have much to discuss, don't we" Kaos lightly cackled as Glumshanks returned with the torture equipment, Cynder saw a very sharp needle, "it would be great if a certain someone (Spyro) were to drop in right about now" Cynder thought anxiously as she saw Kaos pick up the needle and stride up to her, "now then, let us begin" Kaos smirked evilly.
Spyro had the Ruins in his sights, he was charging in as fast as he could, he would find Cynder, the Skylanders wouldn't be in danger, and the Core of Light would be safe. As he flew closer to the Ruins, he caught sight of something odd, there were of bunch of stone buildings set up, and no Skylanders, "what could that be about?" Spyro mumbled to himself as he flew in to get a closer look. When he got closer, he saw a figure on the roof of one of the stone buildings, the figure was tall and lean, like Stealth Elf, and was pointing something at him, it was only after Spyro got a good look in the light that he saw that the figure was, in fact, a drow elf, and the thing he was pointing at him was, in fact, a bow loaded with an arrow, which was just fired at him, "woah!" Spyro exclaimed as he barely dodged the arrow, "better take this guy down he alerts any other drow elves" Spyro thought to himself as he charged the drow elf, slamming into him and knocking him to the ground, he then put the drow elf in a sleeper hold, silencing him, "alright, now that I'm 'technically' inside their base, I can find out what's going on here, and potentially find Cynder and the other Skylanders as well" Spyro whispered to himself as he dragged the unconscious drow elf out of sight, "whew, okay, now onto more the important measures" Spyro wiped his hands and swiped his forehead as he flew silently off the roof, "man, for a drow elf, that one was surprisingly heavy" Spyro murmured as he flew towards the big, central building.
Spyro landed on the roof of the building and looked through a big glass window on the ceiling, inside he could make out Kaos torturing some unknown person, "looks like I was wrong, I guess Kaos reconciled with the drow elves" Spyro thought to himself as he opened the skylight and flew down silently, "and that's for our last encounter, ah, I think I'm satisfied" Kaos had signs of blood on his hands, "now then, GLUMSHANKS, bring me a towel please, I'm going to go shower the stench of blood off myself and my robe" Kaos treaded out of the room with Glumshanks following close behind. Spyro landed silently and ventured around the room, he then looked to see who Kaos was torturing, he saw, it was Cynder, "huh! Cyn!" Spyro exclaimed as he flew to her, he could see blood on her body, Kaos clearly had tortured her well, for being someone like Kaos, "Spyro?" Cynder asked weakly as Spyro burnt off her chains, Cynder almost fell to the ground when Spyro caught her mid-fall, "what did Kaos do?" Spyro hugged her, when he pulled back, Cynder swiftly, yet surprisingly powerfully, slapped him, "ow!" Spyro felt his face, "that was for running off" Cynder then kissed him, "that's for coming back" Cynder smiled, she then fainted from exhaustion, "Cyn!" Spyro exclaimed as he caught her again, he closed his eyes and held her, slightly crying, what he did not see, was blue energy forming on his horns, they beamed on Cynder, and suddenly, the blood, the bruises, they were gone. Spyro opened his eyes in shock, Cynder looked perfectly normal again, Spyro noticed the blue energy coming out of his dragon horns, "so I can heal people? Cool!" Spyro smirked, Cynder regained consciousness and looked at Spyro, she then saw her profoundly healed body, and her eyes widened in surprise, "woah, what the heck?" Cynder got up out of Spyro's grasp and looked at him, clearly confused, "I know, Cyn, I'm just as confused as you are, but apparently, I have healing powers now too" Spyro explained what happened, and Cynder nodded along, "so, Cyn, how do you feel?" Spyro asked, "stronger, clearly, those healing powers did more than make my exterior look and feel better" Cynder replied, "now where's Kaos? Him and I need to talk about what happens when he tortures my mate" Spyro growled.
