I tried to walk over to Cynthia but staggered and fell. Cynthia caught me and helped me regain my strength. I was suddenly healed and energized. I was thankful as Cynthia began to fall. I caught her and held her in my arms. I began to fly up, and fly toward where my instincts led me. Home.
I was flying her for quite a ways, until I started to feel tired myself. But the look Cynthia gave me, was more than enough to help me rest. I found a soft patch of grass we could sleep on for the night. It was a beautiful night as I sat a little way away to meditate. I soon noticed Cynthia was behind me, as she kneeled down beside me. "You have done more than anyone ever could today. You deserve to rest," she said quietly as she rested her hand on the smooth scales on my shoulder, and began gently rubbing them. I made a rumble in my throat that sounded uncomfortable yet satisfying. I reached up my hand to grab her own, my knife-sharp and nicely curved talons careful not to harm her.
"You can't stay out here all night and expect to be given back full strength. You need sleep as much as I do." I just looked at her and said nothing. She was right though. I did need some sleep. I stood up and turned around, and noticed that Cynthia was back to her human form. I slowly changed back as well, and rested on the grass. Within seconds I was asleep as I noticed Cynthia was lying on her side. Sleep has overcome her, too. I quietly began to breathe slowly, as I fell asleep I was trying to heal my body while I was sleeping. My life, right now, couldn't get any better.
I woke with a start to see Cynthia standing outside. I had silently read her thoughts, and I could tell she was excited to meet the rest of my friends and family, but at the same time, saddened that she would leave her own home. I decided to go and see if she was alright. She heard me walk behind her, and as she turned around I was right in front of her. She rested her head above my chest, and wrapped her arms around me as she saw that I was even better than the previous night. I was suddenly feeling something more than happiness. I would never want to let go of this feeling, but I knew it would be a while before it would really happen.
"Come on. Let's go home," she spoke with care in her voice as she looked into my sapphire blue eyes with her emerald green gaze. It was truly a beautiful sight. I just smiled as I kissed her on the cheek. She smiled back to me. I then felt a strange feeling that we were closer to home then I realized. I looked around, trying to sense my friends and family's power. I was right. They were closer than I had thought. But I had this weird question in my head.
"Are you happy here with me?" I asked with worry in my voice. Cynthia looked at me with her surprised green eyes.
"I'm happy wherever we go. Where you go, I go, too. We stay together forever," she replied as she walked closer and placed her head under my own, and allowed me to wrap my arms around her in a warm embrace.
When we were ready, I floated up with Cynthia behind me. As soon as we were both up a ways in the air, we both took off, flying together in almost exact harmony. We were making streams in the air as we were floating above the clouds. They were right above Spiritus's new home, where they saw Ash and Jake sparring, Alice and Michelle were talking to one of my best friends from childhood, Amber.
"We're home Cynthia."
