Eon slowly wakes up. His yawn is quiet, and when he opens his eyes he sees a field of flowers. He slowly gets up, scratching at his dark eye.
Eon: Huh….? Where am I?
Eon looked around. He saw he was surrounded by healthy grey flowers. He looked up and saw that the sky was bright, and blue.
Eon: ……. *Eon looks at his paw slowly.* …. Am I dreaming?
It was then he heard ruffling in the flowers behind him. Then a white motion shot upwards.
Lilly: RAWR!
Eon: Oh! -Ahaha! *Eon turns and seems to naturally catch her in his arms. Then end up rolling backwards in one soft flip. Eon ended up on top of her.* …….. Um…
Lilly: …. *Lilly blushes.* … You can get off of me now…
Eon: Oh! That's right! *Eon spun quickly, standing straight up.* ….. I'm so, uh .. sorry….
Lilly: *Lilly sits up and she gently brush's petals off of her shoulder.* …… I thought it was kind of fun….
Eon started to peer up into the sky.
Eon: ….. I'm… dreaming right?
Lilly: *Lilly looks up slowly.* Oh… Yeah… *She waited til Eon looked back, before continuing.* …...My father had me study all day…. So I couldn't come out and play…..
Eon: That's okay…. I'm sure he's a good Dad…
Lilly looks up a little sad.
Lilly: ……. He is kind … and he is very caring…..
Eon and Lilly started to watch flower petals flowing with the wind.
Lilly: ……. *Lilly smile's, thinking about her past.* He is very strong and wise…….. * Lilly looks down, sadden.* ……… But I believe…. He is sheltering me from the real world….. He says that it's too dangerous and I could fall into trouble…..
Eon: …… *Eon nods once, letting her know he was listening.* …..
Lilly: …… *Lilly turns to Eon.* … But then I heard about you!
Eon: ……
Lilly: *Lilly leans forward.* And I am so glad to have met you Eon…
Eon: *Eon slowly leaned forward. His brow raised as he was curious.* …… What makes me so special?
Lilly: *Lilly stands and wags her tail.* ….. That there are good people in the outside world!
Eon: …… Ah… *Eon smiles slowly.* Well, I know my Home Realm is quite safe …..
Lilly: *Lilly grabs his shoulders.* …. You're not even from this REALM!?
Eon: *Eon almost froze.* N-No!?
Lilly wagged her tail as she shook him.
Lilly: Well, out with it! *Lilly giggled as she sat down.* …. Which Realm are you from?
Eon smiles at her. He stared down, thinking for a moment as fresh memory's of his past surfaced inside of Eon's head. He looks at Lilly with a warm and confident smile.
Eon: …. … … …. My family is from the Skylands….. Home of the Skylanders!
Lilly: ……. The Skylands….. *Lilly looks up slowly.*
Eon slowly looks up and joins her in her gaze.
Lilly: ………. … …
Eon: … … … … ..
Lilly: That's why it's so blue… .. …
Eon: *Eon turns slowly.* …… … .. .. What's that?
Lilly: *Her gaze never left the sky.* …. The Sky…. … It's so blue… Since this is your dream.. … …
Eon looks up slowly, once again.
Lilly: … … ..
Eon: … … … …
Lilly: You're missing home aren't you….
Eon looks down.
Eon: …… Yeah… A little….
Lilly fully turns to Eon, carefully listening.
Eon: ……. Things were simpler…. I… I didn't know what life was like….. I…. I'm still so young…..
Lilly: …..
Eon: …. … …
Lilly: Then you were cursed, right?
Eon: Yeah…. *Eon looks up at the bright blue sky.* …… We flew away… My parents tried so hard…..
Lilly: But you guys…. Are here…. There's still room for hope…..
Eon almosted smiled.
Eon: Heh… Yeah… Maybe that's why I'm dreaming of home…. *Eon shakes his head with a weak smile.* … … … I've been so sick…. I didn't even think about the sky…..
Lilly: *Lilly smiles as she slowly grasps Eon's paw, catching Ron's full attention.* …. … … Sometimes in Dreams…. You dream of the thing you want most…. *Lilly looks up at the bright blue sky.*
Eon: …. *Eon looks up at the sky that he knows belongs to his home.* … … …
Lilly: Even if we don't have time to think about it…..
Eon: …. … … *Eon looks down, his eyes searching. He then smiles as he comes up with an idea.* ….. I know!
Eon hops up and down, bouncing around Lilly.
Lilly: *Lilly ends up giggling at the sight of the goofy looking Hatchling. She laid down.* … …. Well, come on then! Out with it! You know what… ?
Eon: …. …. …. *Eon stopped in front of her and applied pressure to his chest with his paw, to make himself look proud.* … … … When everything is over, and my Dad beats up Yumi….. I'll let Dad take you with us so you can visit the Skylands!
Lilly: *Lilly's eyes widen.* …. What was that?
Eon: The Skylands! Why don't you come visit the place! It's peaceful and I'm sure your Dad knows that very well!
Lilly: …. … *Lilly looks away for a moment.* … … Away from.. … The island?
Lilly starts to crawl a little forward, she didn't want to speak so loudly.
Lilly: I'm not so sure… my father would approve…..
Eon: And why shouldn't he? We'll take straight towards the Skylanders Academy…. A-And maybe we can attend school there together a-and-
Lilly: *Lilly's eyes widen.* R-Really? ….. Take my studies there?
Eon: Yeah! Sure! Whatever you might want!
Lilly stood up, with great excitement.
Lilly: Oooh! What a fantastic idea!
Eon smiles as Lilly seems to light up with pure joy. She could hardly remain still.
Lilly: Aw, man! I can hardly wait now!
Eon just smiles as Lilly was pacing around him. Eon almost giggled.
Lilly then ends up hugging Eon.
Lilly: T-Thank you Eon!
Eon giggles as he slowly returns her hug.
Eon: Eheheh… I didn't do anything, Lilly……
Lilly lifts her head off his shoulder. She blushes as gives off a great smile that held a soft pink blush.
Lilly: Yes, you did silly! … …… You gave me something to hope for!
[Outside, by the mountain side.]
Cynder's speed was faster than before, she flew towards the natural stone structure.
Cynder: RAAAAAA-AAAAH!!! *With a solid spin she swung her busted fist forward. The fist collided with the stone wall with a crackling sound.*
Over on the other side of the small valley was Hunter. Cynder and Hunter was the only ones out there. Cynder had wanted to continue Spyro's story and Hunter was wanting to help this morning.
Cynder:... *Cynder stepped back slowly. *... D-Damn it….
Cynder's fist started to drop blood.
Hunter: *Hunter lifted himself off the wall. * ... A-Are you okay!?
Cynder: No! I'm not okay! No matter how much I concentrate…. I can't call upon my Fury….
Hunter: But… getting frustrated won't help… and…. You're overdoing it….
Cynder seemed to let out a cry of frustration.
Cynder: I don't care! *Cynder held her bleeding fist.* …. …. … …. I have to protect him! …. I…. *Cynder's tears started to drip from her eyes.* …. …. …. I have to save him…. …
Hunter lifted himself up and walked towards Cynder, carefully.
Hunter: ….. L-Let me see your paw… … …
Cynder was reluctant at first, but she slowly gave up and showed her fist. It shook, because it was in a lot of pain.
Hunter: ….. *Hunter carefully rotates it, looking at it closely.* …… C-Cynder…. It's… It's broken!
Cynder pulls her paw away, almost feeling insulted, and weak.
Cynder: It is fine!
Hunter didn't dare take that answer, he stepped closer.
Hunter: It most certainly is not! *Hunter clenched his fist and shook it a little.* I understand your trying to get stronger for Spyro, but your going about this all wrong! You're going… backwards!
Cynder made a tsk noise as she turned.
Cynder: If you haven't noticed…. We've been going backwards!
Hunter grabbed the skin in between his eyes. He turned with frustration.
Hunter: L-Look…. I'm just saying you need to give yourself time to heal….
Cynder looks down, staring at her blood and bandages.
Cynder: *Cynder whispers.* …… We're running out of time…..
Hunter turns to her. He sighs slowly.
Hunter: Look…. We'll think of something….
Cynder: *Cynder turned, wanting to raise her voice.* Like what!?
Hunter: There is much we can do…. If we just think… calmly…
Cynder turns her anger started to boil.
Cynder: Thinking Calm!? Waiting!? Running!? Hiding!? How much More CALM CAN I BE!?
Cynder almost got in Hunter's face.
Hunter: C-Cynder! If you could just listen-
Cynder: I CAN'T LOSE HIM! *Cynder's back foot hit the ground with a pulse of electricity shooting into the rocky floor, it cracked.* I REFUSE TO LOSE- SPYRO!
Cynder's power bursted out of her back and it bounced Hunter off his feet and Hunter landed on his back. He lifted himself up, he saw Cynder's power pulsing. Her eyes was bright with Fury.
Hunter took notice that Cynder's power was flowing out of her heart.
Hunter: *Hunter crawled backwards, both frightened and amazed.* … … …. C-Cynder….. You-
Cynder: *Cynder's tears flowed, as she shook with sadness.* ….. I- …. I love him….. I….. I love him so much……
Hunter: Your….. Fury…. It's…. It's unleashed….
Cynder's eyes widened and she slowly looks at herself. With this sudden realization, her power had lost its balance. It shimmers around, as the aura loses control.
And as quickly as the Fury awakened, it quickly evaporated from Cynder, gaining back control of her emotions.
Cynder steps back slowly, staring at her arms, seeming confused.
Cynder: ….. I…. I did it…? *Cynder looks at Hunter with a sad expression. She sniffles a bit.* … … … But…. H-How did I do it?
Hunter: … … … I think…. … *Hunter picks himself up.* … … I think .. I believe…. …. That your love… for Spyro…. Could have been the trigger…
Cynder was still staring at her hands.
Cynder: My…. Love for Spyro…..? *Cynder's sad eyes slowly widen.*
…..I... Gave it more heart….
Hunter: Heart….?
Cynder's smile soon started to return.
Cynder: ….. It's a hint…. That the Chronicler had given me and Spyro yesterday……. *Cynder clenched her fists, eager and more confident.* …. Yea! That must be it…..!
Hunter nods slowly, almost understanding.
Hunter: K, so the source of a Dragon's Fury is their heart.
….So now we must figure out how to draw it back out…. At your own will…
Cynder started to get excited as she started to hop a little, feeling energized.
Cynder: Oooh! *Cynder quickly grabs Hunter's shoulders.* We absolutely must tell Spyro!
Hunter gives her a not as excited smile.
Hunter: Uh, R-Right….
Spyro: No need….
Cynder and Hunter lose their smiles and turns.
Spyro suddenly drops out of nowhere. He lands smoothly, and he slowly stands.
Cynder: Spyro!?
Hunter shakes his head with a smile.
Hunter: How long have you been watching us!?
Spyro: …… I couldn't sleep knowing my wife snuck off to train without me…..
Spyro gives Cynder a handsome, and knowing smile. Cynder shyly blushed and looks away with her eyes else where.
Hunter: ….. *Hunter crosses his arms.* … …. … And here I thought I was the stealthy one…..
Spyro almosted laughed, but he started to walk towards Cynder. He took her battled and bloody paw. Cynder flinched in pain.
Spyro: …. …. … *Spyro rubs it slowly with care, trying to make sure it wasn't as bad as it looks. Spyro slowly looks up at her.* ………
Cynder thought he was going to lecture her about pushing herself too far, but Spyro slowly smiles.
Spyro: … … *Spyro slowly kisses her forehead.* … Think we can try drawing out ...our Fury? …… Just one more time?
Cynder blushes slowly.
Cynder: ….. *Cynder smiled warmly at him.* ….. Yeah… We can try…..
