Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Characters from the Spyro universe or franchise other than my own original characters.
O.k. so I got a few people telling me that things were going a little bit fast between Sara and Briar. So to make this very clear they are not actually in love with each other, not yet anyway. She basically uses him and sees him as a "slave".
Chapter 13: A Brief Respite and A New Clue
As Sol, Seles, Spyro, and Cyral reached the west gate of the city of Warfang they were greeted by non other than Cynder. She had been up since dawn and had been waiting at the gate for the small group of friends to arrive.
"Finally! I have been waiting all day for you four to get back." she exclaimed. "I was starting to worry about all of you, even though you had Cyral with you."
"Wow Cynder If I had known you would be released today and had been waiting for us I would have made them pick up the pace." replied Spyro with a short laugh.
"Yes Spyro, remind me again who it was that wanted to take an hour and a half break for lunch in the clearing." said Sol.
"And lets not forget who it was that wanted to take an additional three breaks from flying to get something to drink." added Seles. Much to Spyro's chagrin.
"Oh yes and we can't forget who wanted to…" started Cyral, but Spyro cut him off with a glare.
"O.K. she gets it we made a lot of stops. Can we please go back to the temple now?" said Spyro. "I could really use some rest to fully recover from the trip."
"Very well then we can talk on our way to the temple." replied Cyral.
They then headed towards the temple at a leisurely pace and made small talk, more for Cyral than for each other as all they wanted to do was relax at the temple with their significant other.
As they approached the temple Cyral increased his pace and the others followed suit.
"I need to report what happened at the Temple of Earth to the other guardians and deposit the key in the master vault for safe keeping and studying." Cyral explained to the others.
"O.K. Cyral." replied Spyro as Cyral entered the temple and disappeared out of sight. "While he is doing that we should go to our rooms and rest a bit. Knowing Terrador he will want to have a meeting with all of us there later so we should get some rest now while we have the chance."
"Alright then. See you later Spyro, Cynder." replied Sol. As he and Seles walked off to their respective rooms in the temple. Spyro and Cynder followed suit walking away from Sol and Seles with their tails intertwined.
Later that evening Terrador called all of them to a meeting in the temple's main meeting room that contained the pool of visions.
"From what Cyral has told me your trip was a successful one albeit a difficult one." said Terrador in his rumbling tone of voice. "I have called this meeting not only to let the four of you know that your success takes us one step closer to stopping Raviel and fixing the Dimensional Boundary that helps to keep him sealed inside the crystal prison. I have also called you here to tell you that Voltier has discovered a possible location for the next key and its temple."
"Which one is it?" asked Spyro.
"I was just getting to that." replied Terrador. "However, I think I will let Voultier explain it."
"Thank you Terrador. I will try to be brief as it is vital that the four of them get rested and head out as soon as possible." replied Voultier. "Now then I believe that I have found the location of the next key. It is a rather exciting, wonderful, marvelous, and intriguing story, but enough time for that later. It should be located in the frozen north near the location in which Cynder kept me prisoner while under the influence of the Dark Master. In fact I believe that it may actually be located in the same cave in which I was kept."
"Why do you think that Voultier?" asked Cynder.
"Oh its quite simple, elementary, easy…" started Voultier, luckily Cyral cut him off.
"That's nice Voltier, but can you please get to the actually point instead of blithering on like a moron!" said Cyral
"Oh very well then. The reason is simple. While imprisoned I could feel a powerful presence somewhere in the same cavern, but further down below where I was being held." replied Voltier.
"Are you sure Voltier? Remember that your power was being drained and there was a guardian that I had to fight just to get near you. Could that thing have been the presence that you were sensing?" asked Spyro with a bit of fear in his voice. He hated the could even though he had command over the power of ice the only dragons who actually like the cold were ice dragons like Cyral.
"Oh I am quite sure, certain…" replied Voltier before receiving a warning look from Terrador to shut it and get on to the point. "Uh hum anyway the reason that I am sure of this is because I could sense the presence of the creature that was guarding me and it was no where near as strong as what I sensed further below."
"Alright then I guess we are headed to the northern tundra next." said Sol.
This was meet with groans from Seles and Spyro.
"But we just got back. Can't it wait a few days?" whined Seles.
"Yeah I mean we literally just got back and on top of that our armor needs to be repaired before challenging this place, not that it did us much good in the Temple of Earth." replied Spyro, mainly because he really did not want to go to the frozen tundra of the north for as long as possible and because he really, really wanted to spend some alone time with Cynder before they would be stuck with four other people for several days with few chances to be alone after they left.
"Alright then rest here for a few days while your armor gets repaired and then the four of you, sparx, and Voltier will head out for the frozen northern tundra. In the meantime I want Voltier to make preparations for the journey. Cyral you will be helping me research possible locations for the remaining keys." said Terrador. "Alright now I want all of you to go and get something to eat and then get well rested. Tomorrow you will bring your armor down to the armory in the city and have it repaired and in the meantime do as you please." and with that Terrador exited the chamber followed by the others as they headed off to get something to eat before turning in for the night.
End of Chapter 13.
Exciting I know (sarcasm) but it had to be done.
Some people had told me I was being a little too descriptive with my chapters and that the spacing of the paragraphs made it hard to read. Looking back on earlier chapters I see that this is true so I have tried to tone it down a bit with the description and tried to make the spacing more even. However I don't know if the spacing will work because of how my computer uploads them on to the website. So here is hoping that it works.
Side note: I know I have not updated in a very long time, but I have been busy on top of having writer's block. I mainly just want to write the last few chapters because I have this awesome image in my head about how they should be. Unfortunately it is not so clear for the in-between parts at the moment. Sorry this footnote was so long.
