Spyro dies a lot in Legend of Spyro
Curiosity killed the Cynder
"Hmmm..." Cynder's tail swayed playfully as she inspected the strange object.
"Cynder! Leave that thing alone!" pleaded Spyro only to be met with a glare from the dragoness, a faint hiss escaping her lips. The purple dragon stepped back, his face turning a slightly paler shade of purple.
"Alright alright. I'll go... that way." he said before reluctantly walking away.
Cynder watched the object carefully. She knew that Hunter had somehow used this strange thing to stun the Lava Golem and the Grublins back in the catacombs underneath Mt. Malefor and she was determined to find out how it worked! After all, she knew that the apes had used many weapons that were powered with Spirit Gem magic... but this? It only looked like an ordinary, curved piece of wood.
"Cynder... I'm not sure Hunter would be happy to see you play with his stuff. You should definitely leave it alone." this time, it was Sparx that hovered near her head.
"Go away!" she spat, her tail swinging toward the dragonfly who quickly dodged to the side.
"Whoa! Okay okay! I got it! No need to throw a big hissy fit!"
Sparx hovered backward a bit before crossing his arms. "Still, I'll not be responsible if anything bad happen by playing with Hunter's stuff! You've been warned!"
"Pfft. Whatever." mumbled Cynder before turning back to that strange thing Hunter had used back there.
She moved her paws about, touching it and feeling the smooth wood between her paws. She could feel no magic within and the single, tense piece of rope seemed ordinary as well. What was so special about it, really?
Oh yeah! She remembered those arrows!
She used her hind legs to position herself in a sitting position, the lower base of the wooden object stuck between two flaws. It wasn't exactly steady but it would have to do.
She reached for one of those strange arrows and begun to wonder... what if she placed them in-between the wood and the rope? She remember that the arrow was placed like that before Hunter would somehow shoot them.
Using both paws, she placed the arrow in position. She gritted her teeth as the rope and the arrow begun to shake. That rope seemed too short to have an arrow stuck in-between it and the wood and curse her lack of opposable thumbs!
Still, she remembered how Hunter had placed the arrows and thus, persisted. After a short moment, the arrow was finally in position.
Her eyes widened and a smile was on her face. Victory! Now to find out how he fired this thing...
She let go of the arrow and...
PTOING!
SCRLUNCH!
Cynder quickly found out how bows worked as with her paws no longer forcing the arrow in position, the laws of physics had their way with the bow, forcing the rope back into a neutral position thus catapulting the arrow with great force straight toward whatever direction the bow was currently pointing... which happened to be in the direction of Cynder's left eye.
The dragoness fell on her side, her entire body twitching in pain as half of her vision vanished, her eye pierced quite neatly, a puddle of red soon forming under her head. Sadly for our heroine, the arrow also pierced right through her skull! Fortunately, it skewered nothing important ; only her tiny reptilian brain. The other half of her vision as well as her life quickly faded into nothingness. Oh well, that's life I guess.
Sparx hovered there, disbelief on his face for a moment, his mind taking several seconds to comprehend the sheer epicness of Cynder's blunder. And then, as it finally registered, he groaned loudly, slapping his forehead equally loudly.
"I know I always told you I hated you and wanted you to off yourself but geez! You didn't have to take me literally!"
GAME OVER
