Chapter 14 Friends Never Say Goodbye
Spyro looked throughout the deck to find his comrades were still alright from the battle. A few were injured but no one was dead.
"Status report!",ordered a dragon.
A weird looking creature stepped forward. This creature looked a like the cave drawings he saw, "A few injuries sir, we should set sail right away before any more of them come."
The dragon nodded, "Back to your posts."
The creature bowed and walked over to the anchor and began helping the others pull it out if the blue waters.
Spyro cracked open his eyes to see a fire blazing in front of him. He checked his surroundings to find that he was inside a hut.
"Another weird dream, where am I? Everything is so fuzzy",he said to himself.
"Spyro! Your awake!",Cynder exclaimed then gave him ran to him and gave him a tight hug.
"Agh, Cynder . . .need. . . air",Spyro managed.
Cynder released her embrace, "Sorry."
"Where are we? How long was I out?,Spyro asked.
"We are in the hut, my guess is that we have been out for some hours. It's almost dusk",she answered.
"What hut?"
"My hut",a dragon from behind said.
Spyro turned around to see a yellow dragon with orange wings standing in a doorway leading into the living room.
"Who are you?",Spyro asked.
"The name's Titan. I sincerely apologize for leaving you outside. Most of the visitors I get were mad and some tried to kill me. Whenever your group got quiet I checked looked outside to see you laying in the snow unconscious. So I dragged all of you in here."
"Visitors?",Cynder asked.
"Any dragon that happens to stumble across this forsaken place."
"Why are you still here",Spyro asked.
"Have you seen that weather out there? It's madness!"
"So your forced to stay here?",Spyro assumed.
"Yes, whenever the weather becomes bearable I hunt for food near this place."
"Well it's good meet you Titan",Spyro greeted.
"What are your names",Titan asked.
"I'm Spyro and this is Cynder the dragonfly is Sparx, the red dragon is Flame, and the pink dragon is Ember. Speaking of which where are they?"
"Eating in the kitchen, you can join them if you like",Titan answered.
Titan led them to the living room then through it leading to the kitchen where Sparx, Flame, and Ember were eating meat off the bone.
"Hey Spyro",Flame greeted.
"Hey everyone."
Spyro took a seat beside Flame and Cynder, beside Spyro. Titan placed a plate with some hot meat atop of it, in front of the two. Spyro thanked him and started his meal.
"So what brings you here? Sightseeing?",Titan joked.
"We are trying to get to the Blizzard Mountains to find the Chronicler",Spyro answered.
"The Blizzard Mountains?! That's a bit dangerous don't you think?"
"I know but we must find him. It is urgent."
"What for?"
"We have suspecting evidence that an unknown force is coming to begin a war over our land. We need to find the Chronicler so we can get some information on this army. We have no idea what this army is but we know it's going to be big",Spyro explained.
"What would the Chronicler be doing in the Blizzard Mountains?",Titan asked.
"No idea",Spyro shrugged then resumed his meal.
Titan walked over to the window to see a heavy snow still falling from the sky. A thick blanket of snow was covering the ground. He sighed at the sight. The first time he saw snow he was amazed at the sight. Now he hated it and cursed it for what it was able to do. When Spyro and the group finished their meal they thanked Titan for his kindness.
"It looks like you won't be leaving anytime soon",Titan pointed out.
Cynder looked through the window to see a heavy snowfall and a thick fog making them completely blind of what was ahead.
"I see what you mean",Cynder said.
"You can stay here for the night and leave in the morning. These snow storms are usually gone in the morning."
"Thank you Titan",Spyro said.
"It's no problem",Titan assured.
Titan showed them the bedroom of where they could sleep at.
"Okay I don't have enough beds for everyone but 2 of you could sleep in the living room",Titan explained."
"I'll sleep on the couch",Flame volunteered.
"No way the couch is mine",Spyro objected.
"It's mine",Flame said as he ran for the couch.
"We'll see",Spyro assured as he ran for it.
Titan watched them run off to the living with a confused look on his face. "Are they always like that?"
Ember nodded, "Unfortunately."
"Well I think I'll go get some Z's",Sparx said as he flew into the living room.
Titan watched the glowing dragonfly hover over into the living room. "He talks?"
Ember laughed , "Unfortunately. He is annoying most of the time though."
"Right, well I'll be in the living room if you need me",Titan said.
"Thanks Titan",Cynder said.
Titan walked into the living room to see Spyro and Flame pushing each other off the couch.
"It's mine!",Flame assured.
"I got here first",Spyro said.
"Only because you pushed me back."
"How about just share the couch. It is big enough for 2 people",Titan suggested.
Flame and Spyro looked at Titan then looked at each other.
"It's mine I was here first",Spyro said.
"No it's my couch."
"Ugh, out of all dragons",Titan said to himself.
Titan shook his head then layed back on his rocking chair. Sparx claimed the other chair as his own while Spyro and Flame still fought over the couch. Titan assumed Cynder and Ember claimed the 2 beds. Eventually Titan drifted off to sleep with one question in his mind.
"Should I or shouldn't I?",Titan thought.
Sparx fell asleep first while Titan occasionally watched Spyro and Flame out of amusement. Titan fell asleep second while Cynder and Ember was third and fourth. Spyro and Flame eventually both fell asleep on the couch, sharing the couch anyways.
This time Spyro didn't have a weird dream. It was more of a memory. He was younger in his dream. He ran down the beach with Flame for it was his only friend at the time other than Sparx. No one actually talked to Spyro because of his color. But that was before anyone knew what a purple dragon could do. Spyro and Flame raced down the beach trying to outrun one another. When the school bell rung they made their way back into their classrooms. Spyro was of course, seated beside Flame in the back of the room. They often whispered to each other in class about what they were going to do when school was out. One day however a newcomer stood in front of the classroom.
The teacher began,"Class this is our newcomer. Tell them your name sweety."
"Hi, I'm Ember."
"Hi Ember",the whole class said except Flame and Spyro who were talking to each other.
"Ahem",the teacher caught their attention.
"Sorry",Flame smiled.
"Now Ember you can be seated in the empty desk beside Spyro",the teacher pointed.
Ember nodded and took her place at the back of the room. The teacher pulled out a map and placed it on the board.
"Now class, who can tell me what this is",the teacher pointed on the map to a large body of water.
"A sea?",someone said.
"Correct."
The teacher rambled on while Spyro and Flame didn't pay much attention to the teacher. Ember looked over at Spyro and smiled. Spyro looked at her and made a small smile in return. Ember continued eyeing Spyro throughout the rest of the class. When class was finally over everyone left to go home. Spyro waited for Flame near the front for he lived with him for Spyro had no parents. Flame was like a brother and a friend at the same time.
"Hiya Spyro", Flame greeted.
"Hey Flame. Did you notice Ember? She kept staring at me through the whole class."
"Hehe maybe she likes you",Flamed laughed.
"Very funny",Spyro said.
Spyro woke up to a small light gleaming through the window.
"Morning already?",he said to himself.
Spyro went to get up but was stopped. Spyro looked over to see Flame sleeping on his leg.
"That's why I can't feel my leg."
Spyro smiled then jerked his leg out from under Flame sending Flame tumbling to the floor.
"I'm up! I'm up!",Flame outbursted.
The outburst woke Sparx and Titan. Titan looked at Flame then yawned.
"Morning",Spyro greeted.
"Morning to you also."
"Agh it's morning already?",Sparx complained.
"I'll go get Cynder and Ember",Flame said then walked into the bedroom.
"So you'll be leaving then?",Titan asked.
Spyro nodded.
"Aye, I wish you the best of luck with your mission."
"Thanks, for everything",Spyro said.
"No, I thank you. I haven't had good company in quite a while. It was great to see some friendly faces."
"I wish you luck here also",Spyro returned.
Titan smiled, "Just remember, the storms get worse as the day grows brighter. Two'o'clock is probably the latest you can handle. Oh yea here",Titan handed over their jackets which Spyro gratefully accepted.
"Those should give you some more time but I wouldn't rely on them with your lives",Titan explained.
"Ok, we are ready",Ember said as she approached Titan.
"We best get a move on. The later it gets the worse th snowstorms get",Spyro suggested.
Everyone nodded and each thanked Titan for his kindness as they left.
"Goodbye Titan",Spyro said.
"Goodbye friend. One more thing, the blizzard mountains is northeast of here",Titan replied.
Spyro smiled then left the hut closing the door behind him. It was still mostly dark but the sun could be sun at the edge of the world.
"Titan said to head northeast which is in that direction",Spyro pointed.
The group began heading in the direction. Spyro didn't want to leave Titan behind but it was his choice to make, not Spyro's. The group made their way through the rubble when they heard what sounded like a door open then shut. Spyro turned around to see Titan making his way toward them.
"Friends never say goodbye",Titan said.
Spyro smiled then nodded. The group continued through the rubble until they made it to the other side. They had a race against time and needed to hurry before the next snowstorm came to give then all a winterly death.
