sat upon!!"

DragonFire and Destiny~Chapter 3-Mole Inventions and Faerie Interventions
As Spyro and his tiny golden guardian galloped through the sun-drenched glades of Summer Forest, he wondered why the Professor wanted to meet him in Idol Springs instead of his island laboratory. He shrugged and stood in front of the Idol Springs portal, bracing himself for entry. ***
The Professor stood by the lake, observing two pyramid-like towers. Between them was a set of flapping wings and a spinning ice-cube, both humming and sparkling. There was a flash nearby and his expected visitor appeared. Crinkling his elderly, yet peppy face into a grin, the mole-like Professor waddled over to Spyro.
"Ahh...Spyro! I've been waiting for you. I suppose Zoe got lost trying to deliver my message..."
The dragon shook his head. "I wish. The REAL reason she was late was that Sparx here wanted to spend a little 'time' with her," he turned to Sparx, "why don't you two just get a room?"
Buzzing moodily, Sparx wandered off to search for butterflies, or perhaps faeries.
Turning from the miserable dragonfly, the power-up caught Spyro's navy eye.
"Hey, that your new gadget?"
Smiling proudly, the Professor stood next to his creation. "Yes! After observing the success of the SuperFlame/SuperFly combo power-up, I've researched other possible combinations for you to fiddle with. I finally figured THIS out. Presenting, the SuperFly/SuperFreeze combo power-up! Once you activate it, you can not only fly, but your flame breath will be able to freeze certain enemies and objects.
"Agent 9 heard that the idols have once again come to life and have set fire to a building! That is why we are testing this power-up here, and not at the lab, so you can put out the fire with your breath!! He should be back with news on the fire soon."
Sure enough, the monkey came running to them, apparently looking very pleased with himself. "Hey, Prof.! Yo, Spyro! We got here too late and the fire was already put out! How lucky for us that I had explosives handy, so I set fire to another building instead!!"
If you didn't know the Professor, you'd probably think that he'd be furious at the exuberant primate. But... "Well done! I was hoping that the original fire would still be aflame, but you have once again solved a problem with your quick thinking! Now Spyro, jump through that power-up and see how it works!!"
Spyro stepped through the power-up, wondering how the Professor could be so cheerful when countless green pygmies might've been fried from the explosion. He immediately took flight and felt quite cold. He gave his wings and experimental flap and fired a snowball from his mouth. So far, so good.
He performed a loop of the lake and zoomed into the lush surroundings of Idol Springs. Scanning the sky for smoke or flame, he spotted a native waving him towards a blazing building. Soaring around the inferno, he spat icy frost at it. Little by little, the building was free of fire, smoking and covered in ash, but still quite standing. The power-up ran out and Spyro glided to the ground amidst the cheers of pygmies. Hula girls showered him in gold, red and purple flowers, and the Professor stood nearby, hands behind his back, beaming.
"It worked! My creation worked like a charm!"
Spyro nodded, the joy of the natives lost on him. He remembered what Sparx said to him earlier. He didn't have time to go to the party the pygmies wanted to throw for him, nor did he feel like celebrating with Agent 9 and the Professor. He had to find Sparx and hit the road.
"Professor, Agent 9, natives of Idol Springs...I'd love to stay and party and all, but I have to go somewhere else right now. Where's Sparx already?"
The little dragonfly zoomed over to him, in a much better mood. Spyro nodded to him and headed to the exit. ***
Sighing, Spyro sniffed the air. It was just after noon, and he wanted to find Elora before nightfall. Yes, he should've asked the Professor or Agent 9 about her whereabouts, but...
"Bzz bzzbz!!"
Spyro looked over at Sparx, who was glowing happily. The dragon rolled his eyes when he found out why. A red-headed faerie flitted her way over, adjusting her yellow dress and waving to Spyro and Sparx...But mostly at Sparx.
"Hello Sparx!!! Hi, Spyro! What's up?" She batted her eyelashes and showed off her sparkling teeth. Sometimes Zoe was so sweet you could just bite her head off...Literally. Spyro smiled back, hoping to pump her for information.
"Zoe! Hi! Um, I'm kinda in a rush here. D'you know where Elora might be?"
She nodded and smiled wider, which made Spyro's flesh crawl. "Why yes! She has been waiting for you in Autumn Plains!" Spyro nodded, inwardly smiling.
"Great! Let's go, Sparx!"
Shaking his tiny head, Sparx fluttered closer to Zoe.
"Oh, Spa-a-a-arx," Spyro whined, "Ah....Never mind, I'll go myself. I'll be back at dusk, ok? Don't..." The dragonfly and faerie were already flying towards Glimmer as Spyro finished irritably. "...Go anywhere."
He sighed and left for the Autumn Plains Warp, hoping that Elora would be there. He could picture her: Emerald eyes, copper hair, ebony hooves, bronze fur and diamond-fine skin... 'Ah,' he thought, 'what does a faun like her see in a dragon like me anyway?'
