Chapter 9

"Farewell/Flight"

"What do you mean, 'It didn't work'."

The terrified cloaked dragon shuddered, and stammered, "Y-Yes Sire. It didn't work, o-our plan was ruined by the saviors themselves."

He grew a glint in his eyes, turning his rage into a thoughtful intrigue. "Saviors?" He said slowly, his voice a deep, raspy, rumbling. He chuckled to himself for a few seconds, the servant becoming increasingly worried. And in an instant, he stopped, growling deeply, "You're telling me. That the Purple dragon, and that dark witch, beat me to him."

The servant nearly jumped in panic as he questioned him. "Yes Sire, they've seemed to grow an interest in him."

He thought to himself for a moment, as his servant stood shakily. Then, he smiled, "Thank you for your work today. You are dismissed." He said, lightly waving him away.

Not choosing to question it, he bowed, then retreated out of once he came. He tapped a claw, then a second, against his seat. And the last thing the servant heard as he shut the door was a rhythm of claw tapping, that lightly resembled a ticking noise.

"Kenra, why didn't you save me? I thought you cared… Please Kenra!"

"Lakoe (Useless)"

"Lakoe!"

"Lakoe, turr aja teu enbajda? (You haven't left yet?)" His peers pointed and laughed at him.

Kenra woke up abruptly, with a small grunt. He panicked, and his drowsiness made it hard to focus. He looked all around, until he felt a shift in his front paws. As the hatchling against his body turned and buried his face into his fur. And he sighed in relief at seeing an uninjured Gale. After inspecting his own body, he growled at all the wrappings, he hated wrapping wounds up.

As he did, Rena walked in through the door quietly, until she noticed Kenra had awoken. She looked at him worriedly, "I'm glad you're awake." She smiled, "How are you feeling?"

Kenra shook his head, "Not good."

She sighed, "I'm sorry Kenra. I should've been there…"

He shook his head again, "You have priorities, Gale survives, so not bad."

"Still…" She said sadly.

Kenra groaned in mild pain, "No red crystal?"

"It won't heal everything completely, but it will probably help a lot. I'll be right back!" She said.

A minute of silence, and the ticking of a clock, Kenra felt himself grow annoyed by the second. As he stared at the labored breathing of Gale in worry, he heard a set of claws enter the room, and when he turned, his fur bristled in fear. Cynder entered, and looked shocked seeing him awake, she slowly turned her shock into a smile after seeing his reaction. "Hello Kenra… My name is Cynder." She said bowing slightly.

Kenra looked her up and down with a scrutinizing eye, "Who? What do you want?"

Cynder smiled, and tried to approach, but he got in a more defensive stance. He was putting himself protectively over Gale, she noted to herself. "We came here to make sure Gale would be safe, and we helped save you as well."

He looked down at Gale, then eyed Cynder, "No look related. You lie?"

She noticed his lack of fluency, and lowered herself farther down. "No relation. Just worried."

Kenra noticed her passive posture, "Why would I believe…"

As he was talking, Spyro entered the room, and his face exuded confusion and surprise. Spyro realized he had walked in at an odd and tense moment. "Oh! Hey there buddy, you feeling okay?"

Kenra looked from Spyro to Cynder multiple times, then sighed. "Sorry for hostility."

Cynder shook her head and laughed a bit, "It's alright. I know I'm a lot less recognizable than he is."

Cynder approached once again, and began inspecting Kenra. Looking at him from all sides in curiousness, until he tilted his head, "Yes?"

She smiled sheepishly, "Sorry I've just never seen one of your kind." She looked at his bandages, and also noticed the scars across his legs, "How old are you Kenra?"

Kenra shrugged, "Seven winters, born spring."

Spyro chuckled, "Quite the little soldier already."

Kenra growled annoyed, "Not young."

Cynder looked at him sympathetically, "You're still a hatchling. Unless your kind age faster."

Kenra shook his head, "No difference." Than pointed towards Gale, "He Kunmai- hatchling. I am not."

Choosing not to argue, they both sighed. Kenra looked at them weirdly, then bowed his head. "Thank both, for saving us."

Cynder smiled sweetly, and licked the top of his head, causing a curious sound from him as he looked at her oddly. Spyro nodded, "Of course! It was no trouble."

Kenra looked up at her curiously, and she smiled sheepishly. "May I see Gale?" She asked politely.

Nodding slightly at her request, she picked up Gale in one of her paws. She checked him for a second, and smiled realizing that his fever seemed to have gone down slightly. In his sleep, he reached outward. "Kenra?" He said, still asleep.

Cynder couldn't help but giggle, "He really likes you Kenra." She said to him with a smile. Cynder gave him one of her claws, which he immediately grabbed hold of and put in his mouth. Both Spyro and Cynder laughed, and Cynder felt herself grow more attached by the second.

Kenra looked away shyly, "I… like him too." He said after a few seconds.

Spyro and Cynder smiled, they couldn't help but feel they wouldn't be able to separate them. Not that they wanted to. Spyro cleared his throat and nudged her, and she got what he was trying to say. "Oh! Kenra," Cynder started, "Sorry to intrude, but, where are your parents? I'm sure they're very worri-"

A growl as he turned away made her stop abruptly, "Only worried for themselves." He said sourly.

The couple looked to each other worriedly, but before either side had time to speak the door opened. "Seems like everyone is here again!" A voice came from the doorway.

Disheveled looking Rena appeared, with a small box of red crystals. "Sorry it took so long, we're running low and I had to rummage for them."

Kenra's mood lightened slightly, and he bowed his head, "You not have to… sorry for trouble."

She waved her hands, "Nonsense! Here, take a few."

Kenra gladly took a few, which after a few seconds became absorbed into his body as wounds. After they did, he sighed in relief, and stretched. "Much better."

She warned him, "Like I said, it's not completely healed. Don't do anything crazy."

Cynder laughed as Kenra gave an annoyed compliant groan. "Rena, mind if I see one or two?"

Rena looked over and sighed, "Yes, but… you may not like it."

Cynder and Spyro gave her a curious look as she handed them a red crystal. Cynder eagerly held it up to Gale, even pressing it against him, yet nothing happened. Becoming increasingly worried, as Gale didn't even notice. Rena sighed, "I don't know why… they just don't work on him. So for now, anything wrong with him has to be dealt the normal way."

Cynder shrugged as she held him protectively "That's fine, nothing will harm him now."

Spyro pondered to himself, "Kenra can use them… so it has nothing to do with the magic barrier on the continent…"

Kenra yawned, "Hungry." He said.

Rena nodded, "Would you like to go to the cafeteria? I'm sure there's some breakfast."

He shot up out of bed, much to Rena's annoyance. And she sighed as she had to pull him back from leaving, "I'm going to take him to eat, can you watch Gale?" Already seeming to walk out the door without an answer.

Cynder nodded, and as they left it grew silent once more, and they watched Gale who was still in her paw. "I bet he's hungry as well." Cynder said.

Spyro nodded, "Very likely." He looked down at him, "Should we wake him up?"

She shook her head, "Let him get a bit more sleep." She said, gently laying down in their makeshift bed, placing Gale between her forearms.

I woke up, feeling oddly comfortable, and warm. Though I couldn't tell if that was the fever or not. Blinking my eyes open, I realized that was not the case, and that I was actually with Cynder. I yawned, and she raised her head from above me to look down, "Well hello sleepyhead." She giggled.

I stared at her in confusion, and rubbed my eyes, then tilted my head, "What time is it?"

"It's nearly noon." Spyro answered me.

I looked downwards apologetically, "I thought I… fell asleep in the hospital bed…" I looked around me. And they looked at me in worry.

I looked up in terror, "Kenra, where is-"

"Shh" Cynder put her paw up to my cheek and caressed it gently, "He's perfectly fine, Gale. He's in the cafeteria getting breakfast."

Spyro looked at me confused, "You saw him last night, he isn't going anywhere."

I blinked a few times, and laughed, "Yeah, yeah you're right. Sorry I'm just super…" I didn't finish my sentence as I yawned and looked down. "Anyway… sorry for sleeping on you…"

Cynder nudged me with her muzzle, "We pulled you out of bed to make sure you were doing okay. You aren't a burden."

Not quite true. I shook my head and growled to myself, and spoke very quietly, "That's why everyone gets hurt for me huh?"

It was a rather impulsive thing to say, and I couldn't tell if Cynder had heard me or not. But she couldn't seem to find any words to say. "Are you hungry Gale?" She asked me.

As if giving me hunger, I instantly realized how hungry I was, but my apatite was not very great. I nodded, "Very. Probably just milk, everything else sounds bad…"

Cynder smiled down at me, "Of course!"

I put my paw to my chin, "I think Rena's house is okay, I have some milk stuff in there. Oh! They probably have more here too, Teran gave it to me before."

Cynder giggled and looked at me with a raised eyebrow, "Gale. I have my own, you know."

My face went red in embarrassment and I stammered, "N-No it's okay! I wouldn't intrude or anything!"

She sighed, "Gale, you're a hatchling now. I know it's probably hard to get used to, but it won't be out of place I promise."

Spyro nodded, "Plus the formula stuff is kinda fake. You won't grow up big and strong." He laughed.

I shook my head, "It's okay. I never would grow up big and strong anyway."

Cynder growled, "Don't say things like that…"

"We came halfway across the world to save you. The last thing I'm worried about is feeding you."

I shook my head growing increasingly more embarrassed, as I walked away from her slightly. "No it's fine I promise! I already went like a week without it before, and I feel fine. Plus, I wouldn't want to spoil myself, when I go back to formula... it'd be disappointing. Haha." I was definitely rambling, and making terrible excuses. But I had literally just met her. I turned back around to look at her, and smiled.

I smiled but tried to hide the fact that I somehow felt terrible for her, as she looked at me sadly. "Gale." She started forcefully, "What do you mean 'a week without it'?" She said worriedly.

I groaned, "Well once I got here I was alone for like two or three days, then I got here, and they uh… They didn't know what to feed me until two days ago when I passed out due to hunger and being too weak."

She looked at me in mild horror, and Spyro hummed, "I think you should stop being stubborn than Gale." He said lightheartedly.

"Gale it's not healthy," Cynder stammered, "Y-You could develop very bad disabilities later in life if-"

I growled outwards at the two from the spot I stood at, and stomped my foot rather childishly. "Who put you in charge of me? I don't remember asking for annoying babysitters."

Cynder stood and growled right back, "Do not speak to me like that, Rena put us in charge of you. You certainly still throw a tantrum like a hatchling." Cynder said.

I growled back even more, "Who are you to yell at me? Rena isn't in charge of me either, and neither are you two!"

Spyro tried to calm things down and interject, "Hey, hey! We can be nicer to each other, we're all friends. Right you two?"

Cynder sighed genuinely, as I scowled at the wall in front of me. Arms crossed, though I didn't know if that was even an action dragon's recognized… I could hear Cynder stand up from behind me. "We won't make you uncomfortable or upset, and we definitely aren't trying to make things worse."

She sighed as I refused to respond, "I will go get Teran and see if he has any laying around."

I heard her leave as the sound of her claws leaving, I uncrossed my paws and turned to the doorway, where Spyro stood smiling at me sheepishly. I sighed, "I'm… sorry…"

He frowned and tilted his head at me, "Why are you apologizing?"

I shook my head confused, "I kinda yelled at Cynder, isn't she your wife- I mean mate?"

He smiled and laughed more to himself than anything, "While I don't approve of the yelling from either of you, I will admit she is extremely hard to change the mind of. And it's perfectly fine that you would be uncomfortable."

I felt quite bad now, I just didn't know how else to voice my opinion, "I… I didn't know I was yelling… She was just trying to help me, I'm not angry at her or anything…"

"I seem to have a knack for causing unwarranted problems."

Spyro hummed at my response, "You're upset, and still blaming yourself I assume?" He said with a small laugh.

I grit my teeth and turned away again, "Why do you say that?"

I heard his steps as he walked a bit closer, and he laid down on the ground close to me. Though I still would rather look towards the wall, it kept me more grounded. "Because, Gale."

"I blamed myself through my entire youth. It started with me blaming myself for being too young to fight properly. Then I blamed myself for being too weak. Blamed myself for not being able to save Cynder when she was in trouble." He laughed, "I blamed myself for being so unlucky, that I was the purple dragon and not somebody else."

I looked downwards, and thought about what he was saying. I didn't know much about Spyro other than that he was the one who saved the world along with Cynder. I looked over to him, and I could tell he meant every word. He was deep in thought, and he broke out of it to smile at me. "What I'm saying is that not everything is your fault. You're still a hatchling here. Nearly nothing is under your control."

I almost laughed at his advice, but it made me more sad than I was, "Yeah but… you actually succeeded. I… I died…"

Spyro nudged me with his wing, "As far as I'm concerned, coming back from death is a success. "

I laughed in irony, "Successful would've been actually dying. Nobody would be hurt, and nobody would've been upset…"

He sighed, and put his wing over my tiny body. A gesture I recognized as some kind of hug. "Gale… I…" he pulled me slightly closer. "I would've been upset..."

"What if Kenra hates me?"

Spyro looked at me in near shock, "Huh?" He said caught off guard.

I growled annoyed at myself, "He was fine without me, and than-"

Spyro cut me off, "He'd be worse without you now, Gale." I looked at him strangely, "When people meet you, and do something so dangerous for your sake. They do it because they care." He said reminiscing about something.

I may have begun unintentionally leaning into Spyro's embrace, he was very warm, and it made me feel a bit better. He smiled, "You know. I have a daughter." I looked at him in interest, "She's about four years older than you, she's energetic, likes to pull jokes on us, she's a handful."

I smiled, being reminded of my niece back on earth. A sudden pang of guilt, and sadness washed over me. Would I ever see her again? I sighed, not having any answers for myself, Spyro seemed to notice my mood. But I looked over to him, and he continued. "I let her know how much I love her every night that I can. Sometimes she gets scared for me, when I leave. But, I would lay down my life for her if I had too."

"I actually told her, that I'd let her meet you."

I looked at him quizzically, "You told her about me? Before even meeting me?"

He laughed, "She actually managed to find herself in my conversation with Cynder. So we had no choice but to tell her. She likes to call you an alien." After a second I couldn't help but start laughing, and Spyro joined in.

A knock on the door alerted us as Cynder gently stepped inside carrying a small basket, she noticed our laughing. And seemed surprised that I was laying against Spyro's side. He removed his wing, and I stood up and lowered my head. "I'm sorry Cynder."

She looked back and forth between me and Spyro multiple times before settling on Spyro, "Did you get on to him? Spyro I swear if you-" She asked him with a disapproving time..

Both of us shook our heads, and she sighed, looking towards me apologetically, "Gale, you don't have to say sorry… I was being quite annoying, and I understand being uncomfortable."

I smiled lightly, and my stomach growled. She laughed to herself and started preparing it for me as I waited patiently, "Do you need help, or can you feed yourself?" She asked me.

I shook my head, "I can't, by myself."

Spyro nudged me, "And there's nothing wrong with that." I agreed.

She nodded, and I allowed her to pick me up with her left paw as she sat on her haunches. I allowed her to feed me the bottle, and I struggled to stay awake. It was really hard to do so honestly. I noticed Cynder seemed to be enjoying herself, she cooed a couple of times, but I was too groggy to be embarrassed. Until I finished the whole bottle and she looked at me in surprise, "You can sleep, y'know." She said sweetly.

I groaned and shook my head, "But I just woke up…" I whined childishly.

She giggled, "Alright, alright." Yet I still felt myself drifting off.

I heard the door creak open, and heard Kenra's voice. "Gale?"

I think Cynder was rocking me, and was about to shush him quietly. But his voice sent me back to the waking world very quickly. And I opened my eyes, "Kenra?"

Cynder shook her head with a laugh. And set me down on the ground, where Kenra was quick to bring me into a hug as well. I smiled, "I didn't expect you to be feeling well."

He nuzzled me, and felt my forehead with his paw. "Why you not in bed? Very sick." He said as he began nudging me back to my bed with his muzzle.

Spyro and Cynder smiled at each other as I looked at them for help. But Cynder nodded, "It would be smart to stay in your bed for now, Gale."

Once Kenra helped me up I sighed in compliance, than pointed at him. "You should be too, since you're done eating."

He widened his eyes as if he forgot, then nodded. Deciding to jump onto my bed and lay next to me which I didn't mind at all. The couple seemed to whisper to themselves, and came to some sort of conclusion as they both sat in front of us at the foot of the bed. Spyro cleared his throat, catching our attention. "We're glad we came in time to save you both, it really gives us relief. But we came here for a reason."

Cynder nodded, "Gale… We came to take you back to Warfang with us, and get your life actually started there."

I looked at them in surprise, but I already knew that for the most part. I lowered my head sadly, "I… I don't want to leave… Not if it means leaving Kenra."

They looked at eachother, and Cynder smiled, "Nothing says he can't come with you? Warfang is a much warmer place, but that doesn't mean Kenra will have trouble."

Kenra nodded, "My kind fur, work when it need, won't be too hot."

I smiled at that but wasn't entirely convinced, "But what about Rena..?"

She sighed again, "Gale I know… I know she means a lot to you right now. But you need to be with your own kind, where you belong…"

I wanted to tell them that wasn't fair, and that I belonged anywhere I felt like I did. But I knew they were right, a hatchling on a mountain was not an arguable spot for me to live in. I was getting practically zero sunlight, no exercise… I nodded sadly, "Okay… but… when?"

Cynder smiled sympathetically, "Soon as we can. So probably today."

"Today? already?" I exclaimed.

They nodded, Spyro shifted, "We've already told Rena, she was very understanding and she agreed. But you should probably still talk to her."

I nodded slowly, processing it all. I had only been in this small town a few days, but I had definitely grown slightly attached. Cynder bowed her head, "Now you two should take a small rest. The flight is going to take all day today, and most of tomorrow. We'll be flying to Oransa on the ocean's edge, then heading for Warfang the next."

"Yes ma'am." I said understandingly.

I yawned, and Kenra curled further around me. Cynder leaned downwards and gave us both a short nuzzle, which I made a curious sound too. Like a short purring noise, she giggled at me, then they left the room. "Kenra?" I said after they were gone.

He hummed, and I took a moment, "Will you really be okay coming with us?"

He smiled and nudged me, "You are kin. Will follow anywhere." He curled around me more as his words sunk in. I blushed then smiled deeply as I curled against his pitch black fur and absorbed his warmth.

"Sleep well, love you." Something I used to say to my niece Lucy, which I said absentmindedly while drifting off to sleep. He laughed at it quietly, then licked the side of my head.

Wait…did I actually say..? Oh well. I meant it.

"Oh, could you please get on with it…"

The servant internally whimpered as the one who berated him sat on his throne. Tapping his claws against the quartz that lined it. "Well? Just going to stand there like some bumbling buffoon?"

The servant recoiled, and quickly began to skip over his words as a cheetah pushed him to the side. Reading his prepared report proudly, while the servant found the quickest way out of the room. "Rumours, Sire. But they seem to ring true." The cheetah finished.

He smirked slightly at his underling, stopping his incessant tapping to bring a silencing glare of intrigue. "A fool, I do not make of you, Trinus. But to have me believe this absurdity may bring a fool yet."

The pitch black cheetah nodded his head, and bowed, "I can't say whether it makes me a fool to believe them yet. As it comes straight from the words of a tortured man, Sire." He grinned.

He scoffed, then couldn't help but laugh. "I expect no less, Trinus. Please inform the others of what you have to me." He glared dangerously, "The hunt has started."

Trinus bowed, "Of course my Liege." And excused himself from the room.

The ticking returned, the tapping of claws, "Interesting powers, hmm..?"

Kenra and me sat on the bed, waiting. Spyro and Cynder were ready to go, and we're waiting for us outside. We wanted to say goodbye to Rena, though I really didn't want to leave her, I felt bad.

The door was knocked on, and Rena stepped in gently. She looked sad, but also happy at the same time. She bowed politely, "Hey, you two…"

She kneeled down by the bed, and I embraced her in a warm hug, "Rena… I don't wanna leave you…" I said while crying slightly.

She nodded, and pet the back of my head while she held me in a hug, "I know it's sad Gale… but we'll see eachother again, I promise." She pulled away and wiped a few tears from my face, "You need to be with people who can protect you, in a place where you were meant to be. And sadly, you aren't quite a snow leopard my friend." We both laughed a bit at that.

I laughed and looked to Kenra, who was watching us with a straight face. "Kenra is from around here and he is coming though!"

Rena laughed again, "It's not quite the same… Gale…" she caught my attention, "I'm leaving this place, the town."

I tilted my head, "To come with me?"

She shook her head, "My parents they…" she looked down in sadness then smiled, "I'm going back to them. It's a long journey there but, being with you made me realize how important family is."

My ears perked up, "What about your friends here? Like Teran?"

She nodded, "Once everyone is healed we're all going. The city my parents live in is big, and we're all moving to go there as well. My people are used to moving every once in a while anyway."

I gasped at her, "All of you are going? You're just leaving the town here? Man, that sounds way cooler than where I'm going!"

She laughed at my amazement, "Yes we're all leaving it behind. And I'm sure your adventures will be grand as well."

Rena looked up behind herself towards a clock, and stood up, "You two need to get going, if they're taking you to Oransa, you'll need all the light you can get."

We both nodded and followed her out of the building into the freshly fallen snow, where Spyro and Cynder stood patiently. Cynder smiled at us sympathetically, "Are you ready, you two?"

We looked to each other and nodded, as I was walking towards them I looked back at Rena, "You better write! And I'm making what you said about seeing each other again a promise!"

She smiled and began crying a little bit, "You better write too! And we will, cross my heart." She said doing the motion.

I smiled at that response as Spyro laughed, and smiled down at me, "We can always help you get a letter out, don't you worry."

I turned to Cynder as she laid onto the ground, "Get in the carrier you two."

Around her neck was a leather strap that went down around her front legs, and on the front of her chest was a rather comfortable looking pouch made of cotton and fabric. Kenra nodded, and gently got into the pouch, which was slightly bigger than he was. Then he gestured for me to come over. I realized it was for younger dragons who couldn't fly, but I still looked at it wearily.

Cynder looked at me and smiled, "I promise it's safe Gale. Even if it were to break I'd catch you, I promise."

I nodded and approached, allowing Kenra to help me into the pouch, where I could just barely see out of if I tried. The warmth from both Kenra, and Cynder's body heat immediately relaxed me, as she stood up. They looked over towards Rena one last time, "Thank you," Spyro started, "Stay safe."

She nodded, "You as well, those two are a handful, I wouldn't let my guard down."

Cynder laughed, "Oh we have our experience don't you worry. Anyways, we must be off."

Me and Kenra both waved as best we can, as Cynder took off in the air, the feeling of suddenly lifting off the ground was jarring, and the ground moving further and further away threatened to make me dizzy. I looked away from the ground and over to Kenra who seemed to enjoy the wind as he closed his eyes. I was the exact opposite, and chose to hide inside the pouch, it felt like we were on a rollercoaster, except in a sleeping bag at the same time. I groaned.

Cynder leaned her head down and nudged the pouch, "Sorry Gale, we'll be in a steadier flight soon as we get off the mountain."

Kenra rubbed my back gently with his paw, and I used him as a pillow. Soon enough the rather windy and unstable flight evened out, and I was brought back to memories of the dreams I used to have… it felt like we were gently floating on a cloud now, and I couldn't help but close my eyes and think of old memories.

Around an hour into the flight, we both were getting bored. Though Spyro and Cynder were talking to each other, it made no sense to either of us because they were talking about boring stuff like their daughter's school. I unsuccessfully started conversations with Kenra, he wasn't the most talkative person already, but he also wasn't fluent. I tried to teach him how to play eye spy, but he didn't know the word for half the colors, and it honestly ended up being the same few colors every time…

Cynder would often look down to check on us, or ask if we need to use the bathroom. Though thankfully that hadn't happened yet, it's freezing out there! The only consistent thing we asked was how close we were, and each time she would smile and tell us, "Close enough." Making us both groan.

The sun had started to set quite harshly, and the wind had picked up. A light snow threatened to make the flight a nightmare, as it got so dark they could barely see in front of them. Though they reassured us they would be perfectly fine. And to their credit, they hadn't lied. Maybe an hour or so after dark, we began seeing the lights of what can only be a city in the distance. Bringing relief to all of us.

Settling down into the city streets, it was the first actual place I had been that wasn't Rena's village. There were many more races than I first anticipated, and many I recognized from my books. I leaned more and more out of the pouch in awe at the many races and colors, the buildings as well. Cynder giggled, "Here, would you two like a better view?" She said, gently helping us both out of the pouch and onto her back.

I couldn't lie, the place looked rundown and kinda depressing. Honestly reminded me of some pretty bad cities from my home world. But I was just happy to see something more familiar, and a setting I was definitely more attuned with. "Kenra have you ever been to a city like this?" I asked.

He shook his head as he also seemed to be impressed, "No, only my village and Rena."

Spyro smiled, "Hold your impressed reactions for Warfang. I promise, it's much more impressive." He said.

Cynder nodded in agreement, "You two might have your minds explode when you see it." She said, than laughed.

Now I was wondering just how big this "Warfang" place was. If they thought it was huge, it would have to be monstrous to me. Not long after we landed had we entered a building, which seemed to be a small inn, or hotel of some kind. The buildings in this world were really starting to interest me, as I was now in a much different time period. They hadn't invented much technology it would seem, it was like the medieval times and that honestly excites me. I wonder if I could remember anything from science class to help them invent stuff?

I was brought out of my thoughts as Spyro ordered a room for us, a small one, as we were staying for only the night. The innkeeper nodded, seemingly enamored to help out the two "saviors". Huh, maybe I should actually read about what these two did that was so impressive? Considering I was literally hanging out with the most revered beings seemingly on the entire planet I was on. Or maybe I shouldn't read about it…

As we began walking away towards the stairs, to ascend to our room. We passed a cloaked figure, he seemed to be a bipedal of some sort like Rena, who had a smile and a rather intimidating glance. His features were well hidden, I couldn't even make out his fur color. He walked past the innkeeper, who looked mildly unnerved but otherwise ignored him. He headed right up the stairs on the far side of the hotel, he must be a guest here. Lots of interesting people in a town like this. Though I couldn't help the chill that went down my spine, as I thought of the way he glanced at me.

"What looking at Gale?" Kenra asked me, he seemed much more tired than me.

I shook my head, "Nothing, just the decorations."

Spyro has been glancing back at us during our conversation, but after disregarding it, he looked at me curiously, choosing not to say any words though, he turned back around as it seemed he was in thought.

Are room was small, but in the middle was a very large fluffy pillow, I assumed it was a substitute for beds, as regular beds for a dragon made no sense. Spyro instantly sprawled out and yawned, "I'll be happy if I never have to fly again after tomorrow…"

Cynder laughed, and deposited me and Kenra off her back. "It's not that bad. We'll be home sooner than you think."

Kenra made it a point to lay down, I knew he wanted to sleep, but he watched me patiently, probably wanting to sleep next to me again. But I felt a bit of myself ache in sadness as I lowered my head, "Sorry… for being dead weight to carry…"

Cynder scoffed, "Nonsense, it's really nothing to worry about Gale. Both of you combined, probably weigh less than the bag I carried you in."

I nodded slowly, and trudged my way over to Kenra, he looked at me worriedly but understandingly, as he gave me a short nuzzle. I layed down and he quickly curled around me, and I felt warm again. I loved sleeping next to Kenra.

I could hear Cynder gently sigh as she laid next to Spyro as well, though she kept an eye on us. They were laying a couple feet away.

The room was silent, and I felt I was the only one who hadn't passed out yet. But an unnerving feeling crept up my spine, especially as the ticking of the clock on the wall became more and more apparent. But seemingly without a choice I fell asleep, with no warning. Almost like a feeling I've had before?
