Hey guys, here is another chapter! Really hope that you enjoy it. Like the last chapter, there might be some swearing but I'll try not to overdo it. Hope you enjoy!
"So what do you think he is?" I heard voice say and with that my eyes shot open, I was looking at the sky.
What… what….Happened...? I asked myself as I started at sunset sky. The sky it was filled with clouds that lined the sky.
I looked to my left basically forgetting the creatures that were there and saw the sunset. Possibly the most beautiful I've ever seen. It was in between two mountains that from what I could tell were full of lush green trees and grass, and the sun the way it was positioned glimmered over a crystal clear lake creating a nice reflection of white which blinded my eyes. I quickly closed my eyes and finally looked at the two creatures that were at a slightly lower elevation than me which was why I could see the lake and sunset. I saw the two talking next to a fire and slowly closed my eyes again.
What happened…? I asked myself once more before my eyes completely shut trying to remember how I was here at this exact moment in time…
FLASHBACK
"Just hold on, I'll save you!" I opened my eyes and looked upward where the voice was coming from to find the purple dragon diving in toward me "Spyro…" I said to myself as I then looked back toward the ground knowing that if he was able to reach that it was going to be close. (20 seconds left!) I thought as I braced for impact as best I could only as I was doing so I felt four hands, feet, claws, whatever you would call it grab my left foot.
I turned my head around to find Spyro looking at me "Hold on!" he said as he tried to pull me up. 15 seconds! I thought as I then saw Cynder grab on to Spyro who looked at her and they both nodded as the both tried to stop me from crashing in to the ground. I looked back down toward the ground and saw that we were starting to angle the fall (It won't be enough though!) I thought as I finished counting down to zero to find all 3 of us landing on the ground.
FLASHBACK OVER
My eyes shot wide open and I leaned forward while at the same time inhaling a deep breath of air (from shock I guess?).
"Look, Spyro, he's awake." said feminine voice who sounded a bit anxious and my immediate thought was that maybe it was out of curiosity. I turned my head left in order to face the two.
I saw Spyro look from me to a fire that was currently burning "So he is…" he said sounding cold.
After he said that by reflex I went to move my hand to my face to rub it but when trying to do so I immediately felt something tied around both my hands "What the heck?" I said turning my head around as far as possible, struggling to move my hands noticing that I was also tied to the ground "Why am I..."
I heard noise so I looked back to my left to find Spyro standing up.
"I'm sorry, but did you really think I would be so careless as to not tie you up?" Spyro said walking one step towards me before stopping.
I gave him a confused look "Wait a minute!" I exclaimed "If you thought I was a threat then why would you save me?"
Spyro sighed before turning around to face the sunset "Look, I try to save lives whenever possible." turning back towards me "But just because I saved your life doesn't mean that I trust you!" Spyro said explaining his thoughts.
I looked down at the ground and Spyro looked back towards the sunset.
"Don't feel bad." said Cynder with regret in her voice.
I looked up towards her "We just ended a war-"
"I know," I said cutting her off "You just defeated Malefor didn't you?" I asked.
Cynder looked at me in confusion while Spyro just turned around and took a step towards me.
"How do you know this?" Spyro asked seriously his eyes looking fierce "We haven't even told anyone of this yet."
I turned towards Spyro "I have my sources purple dragon of legend" I said being serious while also debating in my head how much information I should actually reveal.
I heard another noise so I turned my gaze slightly to the left to see Cynder get up and take a step towards me.
"Wait a minute how do you know that Spyros a legendary purple dragon?" she asked confused "We've never seen your kind before."
I looked down at the ground for a few seconds knowing that what I was about to say would end this conversation right now. I looked up towards Cynder "The same way I know that you're Cynder, former Terror of the Skies." I said giving some more information.
That made Spyro furious; he ran over the 5 steps to me and put his front right paw and claws on my head forcing me down "Why you!" Spyro said with rage basically snarling.
"Spyro, stop" Cynder said with regret turning her head away "He is only stating the truth of what happened."
Spyro looked towards Cynder then back towards me. I looked through the paw and claw over my face to Cynder "I never said I blamed you for what had happened Cynder, because it isn't your fault but Malefor's." I said trying to reason.
Cynder nodded her head in thanks then looked towards Spyro "Spyro… please..." she said almost begging as if in pain to see me like this.
Spyro once more turned his head towards Cynder this time partially then back at me before getting off. I saw him walk over towards Cynder who smiled at him as if to say thanks and he nodded in return.
Spyro then looked back towards me "When we go to Warfang tomorrow I'm sure the guardians we be able to get you to talk and get everything they need from you" he said before looking back towards Cynder "I'll be back" Spyro said before taking off in flight towards the sunset.
I looked at Spyro fly off in the sunset for a few seconds then turned to the ground (I mean who stares at the sun constantly?). I sighed and closed my eyes for a few seconds before lying back down to stare at the sky.
"Lean forward." said Cynder, I turned my head in her direction and also leaned forward as I watched her walk over to me.
Cynder looked at me straight in the eye "I am going to cut the rope holding you to the ground." Cynder said.
I looked at her in surprise "Not that I'm complaining but why?"I asked not getting why she unlike Spyro was being so friendly even if it was half the rope.
Cynder looked towards the ground "It's because I know how it feels to not be trusted before getting to know the creature." Cynder said answering my question.
Cynder put one of her claws behind me and cut the rope connecting me to the ground making a *snap* sound. She then looked at me and smiled "Better?" she asked.
I got on my back making it so that I would be able to move my bonded hands over my feet and to the front before leaning back up and looking at Cynder "Much; I appreciate it." I said giving a friendly smile back.
Cynder then looked at the sky "oh wow, I didn't realize that it had gotten so dark" Cynder said as I then looked as well.
I then looked down to see Cynder walking over to a dirt wall which she was previously at before and lay down. She curled up into a ball then put her head down for a few seconds before lifting it up again.
"By the way you know my name but I never got yours" Cynder said obviously wanting for me to say it.
"Names Trent." I said "Trent Silver."
Cynder giggled a bit "That's an odd name, but nice to meet you Trent." she said to me honestly.
I then smiled at her "Likewise" I said.
And with that Cynder lowered her head and went to sleep or at least she made it look like it. I could tell she had her eyes opened just enough to look at me (she's probably just curious about me) I thought as I turned toward the edge of the land I was standing on to see that this whole time we were on top of a mountain or large hill. I looked off in the distance for a few minutes before hearing a noise; I turned around me to find Spyro looking at by semi broken bonds.
He looked at me after seeing the bonds "Cynder cut the bonds I see." Spyro stated not really sounding angry which surprised me a little.
"Yeah" I said looking over towards Cynder then back at Spyro "She said that she could relate to my current position which is why she did it." I explained to Spyro.
Spyro just stared at me before sighing "If Cynder feels that she can maybe trust you then so be it, I will trust her judgment. But if you betray that trust, I will personally turn you to ash; understood?" Spyro threatened before walking over to her.
I nodded while saying "Noted."
For a few minutes I watched them both rest (they really do make a good couple) I thought (I wonder if I will ever have anything like that.)
I once more looked out over the edge of the cliff we were on and then froze. My eyes grew wide as my body grew with pain (what is this?!) I thought as I held my tied arms over my chest due to the pain. I felt more pain then dropped to my knees, I opened my arms and looked at my hands to see a white electric current once again go through my arms and whole body. I then saw the same ghost image of a white dragon's claw appear on my arms and this time I noticed that it wasn't just my arms but my entire body. I turned my head around to see a ghost tail flash on and off.
I felt my eyes start to shut "What's happening to me?!" I asked myself very softly as I did not have the energy to say it any louder.
After a few more seconds I felt the pain stop and then I completely collapsed. I then looked downwards to see that the ghost image was gone, and then I felt darkness consume my eyes…
XXX
I opened my eyes to a white light, looking and turning around all I could see was white. I then noticed that I was lying on my back so I leaned forward bending my right knee and then put my right hand on it by reflex. I then noticed that I had on blue jeans and a white t-shirt, my usual attire for a weekend
I sighed "Alright, I give, what happened to me this time?" I said starting to get used to all the random crap that was happening to me. I continued to look around and then noticed a black figure off in the all white distance.
I slowly got up, "Hey!" I shouted when I fully stood "Where am I?" I heard no response.
All of a sudden I felt my eyes stinging and I saw everything getting brighter. I began to partially close my eyes due to the brightness, as I did though I saw the figure in the distance start to turn. (Who?) I thought to myself as I fully closed my eyes.
XXX
I opened my eyes and realized that I was staring straight at the grass. I then remembered what happened last night and how that probably caused me to wake up in that position. I shifted myself so I that I was sitting then held my tied hands to my face.
"Ugh..." I moaned "This is getting ridiculous." I said to myself scratching the top of my head for a few seconds as way to try and relief stress.
"I take it you had a good night's sleep." Cynder said, I looked over to see her and Spyro walking towards me.
When they both were about a step or two away they stopped "alright, it's time to head out" Spyro said sounding as serious and practically emotionless as yesterday.
I looked at them both before looking at the ground and getting myself up. After I stood up I saw Spyro turn around and start walking in the direction of the two mountains that I saw yesterday. When Spyro started to walk and got a few feet ahead I sighed then started to move myself since well I had nothing better to do and well with the current situation that I was in, you know my hands being bonded, being surrounded by the 2 most power dragons from the series, and being in an unfamiliar world, I didn't have many choices at the moment.
As I started to walk for about a minute I noticed that Cynder was staying close to me and not Spyro. I saw in the side of my eye that she was staring at me constantly and whenever I looked at her she would quickly move her focus from me to either Spyro or the road head. Thing is though I was faster than her with moving gazes.
(Alright, let's see if this will actually go anywhere) I thought to myself as I turned towards Cynder.
"You know if you want to ask me something you can" I said looking for answers.
I turned from Cynder to Spyro and I had a feeling which was correct, Spyro started to listen in on the conversation. He turned his head slightly which was a dead giveaway for me.
I turned back towards Cynder "what makes you say that?" she asked looking at me while sounding a bit nervous.
"Well for one, you keep staring at me" I said while turning back to the road.
"And number two, I can see that you're trying to stay very close to me as opposed to Spyro when we both know that you like him" I said then noticing Spyro tense up (sorry Spyro, didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable) I thought now feeling bad a bit.
I once again looked back towards Cynder "But yeah I figure that you either like me which I doubt or are just curious about me" I stated finishing my theory.
Cynder sighed "Well you can't blame me for being curious, after all I've never seen your kind before" Cynder said trying to reason while fixing her gaze back onto the road.
"Don't worry; I'm sure you guys will get everything you want to know when we get back to Warfang." I said now not sure if I was feeling calm or nervous.
I found my situation to be interesting, normally if a fan of the Spyro universe had my place they would probably go crazy over meeting Spyro and Cynder. I on the other hand well… Am more of a serious person, I don't usually get excited unless I feel like I'm having fun like a 5 year old at Christmas (I'm easily entertained). Heck, give me a role of scotch tape, come back in 10min and you'll see that I'm still fooling around with it. When I have fun I'm practically a kid, when I'm serious though well I guess you could compare me to Leon S. Kennedy from Resident Evil.
"Hey, we're almost there!" Spyro said as head was turned towards then turning forwards once more.
It took a few moments but Cynder and I finally had caught up to Spyro and what he was looking at. I saw off in distance the dragon temple (pretty huge) stand on top of a small hill which in a way sort of reminded me of Hogwarts from Harry potter and to the right of the temple it looked like a city. Between the two was a small open field which next to it had a small forest with I'd say maybe 40 trees packed closely together.
(That must be Warfang…) I thought somberly.
I looked on my right to find Cynder smiling; I could tell that she felt that Warfang and the dragon temple was her home. Being under Malefor I doubt she was given a home. I then looked towards Spyro and saw that he was grinning a bit.
(So Spyro can feel happiness) I thought and joked to myself since that ever since I came to this world Spyro has only shown anger and distrust towards me.
I started to walk in front of Spyro and Cynder and after a few moments I found them staring at me. I turned and looked back to find them looking at me with confused faces.
I sighed then smiled a semi-confident smile "Well it's not like I really have any other choices at the moment besides going to Warfang right?" I asked probably surprising the two dragons.
Cynder smiled at me "You really are an interesting creature you know that?" she said to me before looking at Spyro "What do you think?" she asked.
All Spyro did was look at Cynder with surprise before turning is gaze towards the ground then Warfang and continue walking. I watched as he started walking towards me, my smile disappeared. Right as he starting passing me we looked into each other's eyes, I saw that his eyes were fierce and a bit nervous. As soon as he passed, his gaze returned back to Warfang.
I continued to stare at Spyro (so that's it… besides distrusting me you envy me for gaining Cynder's attention) I thought as I heard Cynder come up from behind me.
"What's the matter, you ok?" Cynder asked obviously sensing I was troubled.
I just continued to stare at Spyro "Yeah everything's fine...just thinking." I replied.
I was obviously bluffing but I don't think now was an appropriate time to discuss the topic.
I sighed "Come on Cynder, let's go." I said now feeling a bit depressed and my tone also showed it.
(I think for now I should try and create as less tension as possible between me and Spyro. I don't have to have him as a friend, well I would want him as one but for now I should make sure he doesn't see me as an enemy) I thought as I continued along with Cynder and Spyro who was ahead of us as we walked the final steps to Warfang.
