Chapter 20: Heroes of the Day
Later that day...
Sparx and the assassin lay in the nearby meadow, as Spyro approaches, he notices they appear to be...singing?
"The window burns, to light the way back home", Skorpion joyfully sang
"A light that warms, no matter where they've gone", Sparx continues
"They're off to find the hero of the day", The assassin sings
"But what if they should fall, by someone's wicked way?", Sparx sings back
"Still the window burns, time so slowly turns", Skorpion musically replied.
"Someone there is sighing", Sparx sang.
"Keepers of the flames", The assassin continued.
"Do you feel your names?", Sparx answered.
"Do you hear your babies crying?", Skorpion finished.
Skorpion lied on his back, his paws in the air as if he were standing.
"What were you just now doing?", Spyro questioned.
"What did it look like we were doing?", Skorpion replied.
"Singing.", Spyro answered.
"Heh, smart man.", Skorpion sarcastically stated.
"What were you singing?", Spyro asked.
"A song, dumbass.", Skorpion replied.
"Okay then, why are you laying like that?", Spyro grew annoyed.
"Because it's comfy", The assassin adjusted his back.
"Excuse me while I tend to how I feel", Sparx sang.
"These things return to me that still seem real", Skorpion sang back.
"Stop singing!", Spyro yelled.
"Why?", Sparx questioned.
"We were trying to have a conversation.", Spyro stated.
"No we weren't, I was just listening to you out of boredom.", Skorpion hatefully replied.
"The way you're laying obviously isn't comfortable, your spines must be digging into the dirt.", Spyro got back on topic.
"Well it reminds me of my favorite thing to do.", The assassin laughed under his breath.
"What's that?", Spyro wondered.
"I hate to answer a question with a question, but what is one hundred thirty-two minus sixty-three?", Skorpion smirked.
Spyro sat down and thought for a second, before replying, "sixty-nine?"
"Yeeeeeaah.", The assassin laughed.
"You're sick", Spyro stated.
"Don't knock it 'till you try it.", Skorpion replied.
"How do you know I haven't tried it?", Spyro questioned.
"It's not hard to tell that she's been deprived of certain things", Skorpion laughed.
"Maybe it wasn't with her.", Spyro smirked.
"I'm telling Cynder you said that, she's going to cut it off.", The assassin cackled.
"No, I was joking, I swear!", Spyro feared.
"Then you'll be the one screaming.", Skorpion continued.
"No I won't, because your not going to tell her.", Spyro replied.
"Who's going to stop me?", The assassin taunted.
"I would, but your not going to be telling her, so I won't have to.", Spyro tried to look intimidating.
Skorpion burst-out laughing, "Boy, I'm an assassin, I've killed things ten times your size daily."
"But they weren't me, were they?", Spyro threatened.
"No, but they used the same fighting style as you.", Skorpion replied.
"Yet, you still won't tell her.", Spyro popped his neck.
"Just watch me.", The assassin laughed.
Skorpion stood up and began to walk towards the dragon temple, when he was tackled by Spyro. Spyro held the dragon's tail and mouth down, the most dangerous weapons of the assassin.
Skorpion yelled sarcastically, "Help, rape!"
"Shut up, it's not rape if you enjoy it", Spyro replied, equally sarcastic.
The assassin's eyes instantly widened, he yelled in protest, "Wait, you're actually going to rape me?". Skorpion threw Spyro off of him and jump backwards.
"Oh wait, I forgot, it's not big enough to actually do anything.", Skorpion laughed.
"You don't know that for sure.", Spyro stretched his muscles.
"I'm pretty sure though.", Skorpion stated.
"Am I going to have to prove it to you?", Spyro asked.
"As much fun as it would be to ruin your pride with my, ahem, gifted self, I think I'll have to pass.", The assassin laughed.
"I'm so sure.", Spyro shook his head.
"You should be.", Skorpion replied.
