Fade Away: Before the Legend

by GoldenGriffiness

Cynder's egg lies safe with the love of her surrogate parents. Spyro isn't so lucky. Damned by Ignitus' moment of weakness, he is left in the shackles of an army set on seeing him only as a tool of cold-blooded murder. Awaiting an unknown fate in the arms of the only mother he will ever know, they are left to seek comfort only from each other... And the most unlikely source of all.

25. A Spark Of Hope

2 Years, 354 Days Remaining

I coughed up different sparks today. Terra called it 'electricity'. It felt a bit like a static shock, to be honest. The room is still much better, but it doesn't make us forget the bars or the chill or the guards. At least they're standing much farther away and don't mock us anymore. For some reason, throwing rotting meat on their feet made an effective point. Go figure.

My wings are getting bigger and bigger, and Granny says I should start practicing with them soon. She whispered that if there's ever a chance to escape, it'd be useful. I don't think it would be. Terra can't fly and I would never leave without her.
