DragonFire and Destiny~Chapter 2-Meanwhile, In the Dragon Worlds
Sparx zipped around Spyro's head irritably, buzzing loudly. Spyro raised a lazy claw to bat the pesky dragonfly away, without success.
"Ah, Sparx, lay off, will yah? Jeez, what is it?" Spyro was laying in the long grass at Stone Hill, relaxing after the countless interviews he had taken that night. The sun was peeking over the horizon, sending tall shadows and silver beams over him. He squinted, both the sunlight and the natural golden glow of his companion leaking into his weary eyes. "You're more trouble than those damn reporters last night! Spit it out already!"
The little insect glowed brighter despite the dragon's obvious irritation and emitted a series of buzzes that were his vocabulary. Spyro listened carefully and hung his head when Sparx was done.
"Sparx, I told you: I WANT to see her, but I've just been so busy. You should know that! You've seen all the reporters, annoying me with questions and comments..." Sparx only buzzed louder and faster at this. Spyro rubbed the back of his neck, looking down.
"...Sparx...I can't go anytime soon. Especially not today, since the Professor wants me to test something of his, remember?" He sat up and yawned loudly, tail twitching, wings flapping. "Besides...How can you be so sure that she WANTS to see me, anyway?"
Sparx buzzed once angrily and torpedoed Spyro right between his eyes. The unsuspecting dragon fell backwards with a yelp from the impact and landed with a satisfying 'THUD', a bright orange bump on his forehead. He sat up and rubbed the spot gingerly, wincing.
"Ow...That's gonna leave a mark..." He glared at Sparx, "Ok, you've made your point! After I deal with the Professor, I'll look for Elora! Yah happy?"
The little yellow dragonfly buzzed and did a cheerful little twirl in the air. Spyro only snorted, muttering darkly as he set out to the Artisan's World. "Little hellion...I taught him how to torpedo like that..."
The Artisan's world was, as usual, beautifully serene as Spyro trotted along the lush grass and sweet flowers with Sparx following closely behind him. The few dragons that were awake at this hour were busy planting and gardening, or perhaps trimming their topiaries...That sort of thing. Spyro hastily waved hello to a few, who courteously waved back. However, when Nestor, one of the elder ones, saw Spyro pass by, he called him.
"Spyro, m'boy! Where are you headed on a beautiful day such as this?"
The little dragon stopped and looked back. "Oh, hey Nestor! I'm just goin' to see the Professor. You know, the one from Avalar?"
"Oh? That old quack? Yes, I remember him..." He paused, "...Now why would you need to see him?"
Spyro inwardly sighed. With all due respect to Nestor, he knew that explaining things to dragons as old as he could take awhile. "Well, he wants me to test something of his. I'm thinking it's some new kind of power-up he's devised."
Nestor snorted loudly. "Power-up? Like one of those objects that make you fly?"
Spyro's fear had come true: This WOULD take a while. "Yah, some do that...I dunno if his new one will, though..." Before he could politely wrap the conversation up, Nestor started to rant.
"Huh...Power-up! Dragon's don't need any absurd instruments like that! Why, I could teach you to fly right here and save you the trouble!! Why, back in MY day..."
Spyro subtly touched his left horn as Nestor related about how he had to learn how to fly the old-fashioned way. Sparx picked up on their old childhood signal, briefly glowed orange in a sign of understanding and started to flit about quickly, making urgent buzzing noises. Nestor stopped talking and Spyro looked at Sparx, speaking in a panicky voice.
"What's that, Sparx? Gnorcs are on a rampage? Rynocs are vandalizing public property? Lindar's stuck in the well? Oh no!!" Spyro turned to Nestor, eyes narrowed. "I'm sorry, but Sparx and I have to go! I'll be back later!!" And with that, the duo sped off to the portal to Dragon Shores, where the Avalar Super-Portal was located.
Nestor only watched them, shaking his head. "Ah, me...What noble creatures they are. They speed into danger at the very first sign of trouble, without a thought for themselves." He smiled and returned to his business.
The irrepressible young duo collapsed on the sands of Dragon Shores, laughing uproariously.
"Hah! We sure fooled the old fud, eh?" Sparx buzzed in agreement.
Spyro's tail wagged as he stood in front of the Super Portal leading to Avalar. "...Well.Time to go! C'mon, Sparx!" With a bound, he sailed through the portal, secretly hoping that a way to Elora would be on the other side.
