Chapter 3: The night before

The beautiful sky illuminating the dragon city was going orange slightly which meant sunset would soon be upon the realms to end one day and begin the next, a luxury everyone now got to enjoy with the new age.

In the gardens of Warfang the group of four dragons were continuing to enjoy their time of relaxation.

"I could fall asleep here you know… so good" said a very laid-back Flame on his back looking up at the sky.

"Don't get too relaxed Flame or you might fall asleep and the butterflies may come along and find you," Frost echoing into Flames horn who ignored her which Spyro and Oculus were having a talk.

"So, have you been to Tranquil forest Spyro? considering how close it is to the city." said Oculus.

"Only twice, the guardians and Warfang want to ensure it stays under constant watch especially with how it's the quickest path between Warfang and the Aquilis village. Traders are coming through there so need to ensure they can get through safely." explained the purple dragon with front paws crossed over.

"It's one of the few places that remnant dark forces still live aside from what remains of the Badlands, it is good it has been shrinking but you'd think after all this time that we would see so much less of them and they would just go home and focus on their lives instead of trying to continue some hopeless fight," Oculus agreed on that statement nodding his head.

"Yeah one-time Volteer took me there it was easy for me to sense lingering darkness in certain parts, thanks to my shadow powers it is easy to detect them."

Shrugging his head to the right, Spyro pondered on the state of it.

"Yeah… I imagine it will make a dent soon, after all this time I just don't think they realise the war has ended or maybe the darkness has afflicted them enough to being reduced to a primitive state of only existing to destroy, like what happened to the apes, there's nothing remaining of them now but just darkness,"

"It's sad even after everything the apes have caused, I wouldn't wish such a thing on them," said Frost feeling sorry for what remains of the dragon's mortal enemy.

"It's true I hate to admit it but even with the dark master gone darkness remains in the world and it always will," everyone looking to Spyro sat up, pondering on it all.

"What do you mean that we will always have to fight darkness to eradicate it?" asked a concerned Flame.

"Light exists on one side." shaking his head Spyro held up a paw switching his paws and holding up the opposite paw "And on the other side darkness".

"One cannot exist without the other, it's how nature finds balance. No matter what, there will always be darkness and evil in the world; people committing deeds," Placing his paw back down he tensed up slightly.

"Individuals like the dark master, they tried to unbalance where only darkness will exist and extinguishing the light and the world nearly broke apart because of it but when nature has balance is when the world knows peace…. so light and dark will always be in conflict, but is to assure not one will overtake the other,"

Listening to such an explanation engrossed, the three dragons gazed with their full attention.

"Wow, I never thought of it in that way" said Oculus with an unrelenting stare to the purple dragon.

"That's how the guardians and some elders view the state of the world," curious now frost asked the purple dragon.

"How do you view it Spyro?"

Looking down, the purple dragon cocked his head "Well, to me if someone intends to harm or threaten the peace then I will stand against them" replied Spyro full of bravado as a chuckle escaped Frosts' maw.

"Well, you worked hard to bring the peace Spyro; I guess it is safe to say you're not in a hurry to repeat something like that again?"

"Definitely not, I will if I have to but I really hope this peace lasts for the rest of my life," said the purple dragon shaking head hoping such the case.

"Well, we dragon's live very long lives, so you got a lot waiting bud." spoken by Flame trying to lighten the mood up.

"Well, anyway, I think it's time to call it a day now. I'm heading off, got to get my rest in for the exam tomorrow," stated the purple dragon raising himself up and stretching one of his hind legs.

"Yeah good luck for tomorrow Spyro, you will ace the test, no doubt in my mind, I'd join you but I will be busy doing research with my mentor," Oculus had said with complete confidence. Spyro nodding his head in complete understanding.

"It's ok Oculus I appreciate the thought" Flame came up and patted Spyro on his side.

"Bro, this exam for you will be a cakewalk; release all that stress tonight and nothing will stop you,"

"Yes, don't worry and don't stress yourself Spyro you will amaze; Flame and I will come to see you tomorrow." sweetly stated by Frost with Spyro smiling, reinforced by their confidence in him.

"Thanks everyone it really means a lot and I promise I will do my best and become a full-fledged guard."

Spyro turned himself away from the group walking a few paces before unfurling his wings.

"I'll see you all tomorrow; goodnight."

After saying all their goodbyes Spyro lifted off into the air shooting himself away from the ground to head towards the city temple which stands as the new home for the guardians and a considerable amount of dragons in the city and is one of the most guarded sectors of the city considering the significance the temple is to dragons.

Heading to the temple, Spyro's thoughts were all about the test of the mark of honour where all trainees must undergo not only to test their abilities of battle but their ability to identify situations and react to it while also using their ingenuity, but he was hoping a visit tonight to a certain female dragon before sleep would do the trick with some extra revision.

In Spyro's back pack attached to his back on his side he was carrying a book of the information considered for guards which he retrieved from the Warfang Library.

Reading it was instrumental in his learning while some he already semi-understood such as reacting to the situation in the correct way such as a battle or a situation where a citizen could come to harm.

The purple dragon looked in the direction of the sun could see it would soon be sunset, washing over the city it is always a stunning sight to behold. But he also knew to be quick the guardians Cyril and Volteer still were strict on dragons no matter the age on staying out late, especially on their students because of the regime.

He recalled to them times when he was much younger and living at the dragon temple near the swamps where Ignitus would instruct him on getting to sleep early.

Pleasing him was the perks of being older now he wouldn't have to worry about such a talking since the guardians tend the give him more leniency which he puts down to being the purple dragon.

But it's the hatchlings and young who will hear it from them if they stay out late and while dragons live all over the city, families live at the temple too and young dragons who don't have any parents or ended up orphaned because of the war; Also, one duty the guardians were responsible for.

Arriving at the temple, Spyro could see a big dragon at the main entrance who was easily recognisable to him. Cyril stood at the entrance keeping a watch and could see the purple dragon flying down.

"Ah young Spyro, nice to see you still respecting curfew."

Landing down in front of the Ice guardian greeting him.

"I suppose I am Cyril, are you still waiting for anyone?"

"Well, as far as I can tell only two young ones I have yet to account for coming back to the temple Jacen and Rensu; those two little buggers are always the last to come back," said the ice guardian shaking his head in slight irritation "They could do to learn a thing or two from you young chap,"

"Yeah, I think I'll pass on that Cyril, the two can handle themselves they are always back on time." chuckled the purple dragon.

"I suppose young chap but I think those two could do with a little sporting lesson of tolerance, I suppose next time I'll let Volteer chase them, he can bore them to sleep with that electric tongue of his," relented the ice guardian.

"Hmmm…. well I couldn't argue with that" replied Spyro as Cyril changing the conversation asked the purple dragon.

"So, my young friend going to get an early night in for your big day tomorrow?"

Spyro pleasantly smiled to the question.

"Oh, not yet, Im looking to do some last-minute studying so I'm sure I am ready for it." this earns a chuckle from the ice guardian and brought up a paw and patted Spyro.

"Ah young chap; the benefit of a bit of extra revision is never to be squandered; although I can say with absolute confidence, you will excel at your performance tomorrow… Compared to the monumental feats you've accomplished in the past, this little test should be child's play for someone of your calibre."

"Thanks Cyril, you and the other guardians training have helped me a lot" said a grateful Spyro. Cyril very content with such words declared back to him.

"Well, I wouldn't take the credit as we merely instructed on small details of your training. Most of your development was inspired from your self-growth; and that growth will explode beyond to even greater heights,"

"Goodnight Cyril… I'll see you in the morning" said the satisfied purple dragon turned towards the entrance.

"Yes, get a goodnight rest Spyro. Exciting times ahead of you tomorrow" Bidding farewells Spyro trotted into the temple passing himself through a few doors and to climb up a few floors to enter the main corridors to the sleeping chambers, walking through lanterns were lit up ready for the inhabitants.

It was like the temple he lived at in the forest but was much bigger being surrounded by a massive city, passing a few wooden doors which would serve as the entrances to the rooms. They were big considering the size of fully grown adults.

Spyro passed by a couple more before arriving at another one before taking his right forepaw and knocking on the door. Waiting a couple of seconds, he heard his response.

"Come in,"

The mana button activating to Spyros' presence unlocking and opening the door, allowing Spyro to enter the room.

There was a stacked bed available much more comfortable than the concrete floor, a small lit fireplace with a small book shelf across one wall with a table with a small bag, opposite him was an exit to a balcony where he could look out to the city.

Closing the door behind him, Spyro walked forward to look around but there was no sign of the shadow dragoness.

"Cynder… where are you?"

"Out on the Balcony Spyro" shouted a voice which caught Spyro's eye towards the entrance to the small balcony provided in the room.

The purple dragon walked his way over to the table before unclipping the side bags from his back and placing them onto the table. Giving his body a quick shake along with his tail prompted a comforting sigh from the purple dragon.

'Ah much better,'

Turning himself to the balcony exit, he trotted over to find Cynder sat looking towards the fast approaching sunset and an immaculate view of the city.

The dragoness turned towards him and in and spoke in a suggestive tone.

"You took your sweet time hmm Spyro?"

"Oh… I'm sorry Cyn I didn't know I was on a tight schedule; maybe next time you shouldn't leave me guessing." The purple dragon sat himself beside her giving a sheepish smile.

A soft giggle escaped the dragonesses maw, and she leaned towards him slightly.

"Maybe next time I will have to, just for you,"

Spyro rolled his eyes before turning the fast-approaching view of the sunset. It would not be long now before the horizon reaches.

"So how were things after I left," asked a curious Cynder.

"Oh, Flame decided he wanted to race us all to the gardens and took off quickly, the rest of carried on as normal but we were merry over his act so, we followed and let him gain a bit of a lead being very confident he would win easily."

As Spyro described the story showing his wings and his front paws describing the distance.

"Then he looks back can't see me and next thing he knows, I'm flying right beside him, it left flabbergasted I then just took off and landed in the gardens… We all couldn't stop laughing you should have seen flame's face he was in bits."

Cynder feeling humoured produced a sigh, unsurprised by what she was hearing.

"Bless him; he makes me laugh Flames does."

"Yes, no way he couldn't but has a long way to go before Terrador and the others will think he's ready to become the fire guardian,".

"Do you think he can handle it when he does?" replied Cynder very curious towards the purple dragon's opinion.

His expression dropped as he turned his head towards the dragonesses.

"I dunno… it is a tough role forget training of the element, it's also adopting that mindset to be wise,"

"I dunno Spyro, with the way Volteer and Cyril go at each other sometimes it wouldn't be too hard." Spyro made a smirk hearing that comment.

"True, I still enjoy it when that happens and Terrador has to jump in and silence them both, I loved it when it was Ignitus who had to quiet them both,"

Cynder looked towards the purple dragon, the first in a long time since she had said the name of the former fire guardian spoken by him as he continued.

"I think he would approve of Flame; He would have been a great teacher for Flame to learn under,"

"Like he taught you, he would be proud of you so much Spyro, becoming part of the guards of Warfang and continuing the age of peace," said Cynder draping a wing over the purple dragon to comfort him.

A smile formed on his face, touched by her words.

"Thanks, Cyn, I know he would have been and I always do my best to honour his memory,"

Turning back to the view they could see sunset was occurring, the yellow of the sun beginning to dissipate and spread with the blue scattering.

The colours pushing through the clouds illuminating them slightly producing a beautiful scenery for any observers; they were both in gazing in awe of the view before them.

Giving off a breath of tranquillity and peace soothing their bodies, when observing such sights, it is hard for one to feel comforted or eased from the views.

It's at these moments when Warfang can sound tranquil from the usual bustling of activity of the inhabitants which will either be watching the scene too or beginning to turn in for the night, Cynder breathed in before exhaling a long content sigh.

"No matter how many times I watch these sunsets they look amazing, one of the most beautiful sights ever,".

"Yeah, I could never get bored with them" replied the purple dragon following through by saying.

"But there is one thing in the world that will always be more beautiful than the sunsets," Intrigued by statement Cynder looked towards him asking "Oh and what would that be?"

Turning his head and looked into her eyes as he produced a sheepish smile "Nothing will ever be more beautiful than you Cyn"

Hearing that the black dragoness leaned her head towards him with her eyes looked directly at him with a loving, seductive gaze before cooing in a soft voice.

"Such a sweet talker."

"Could never be a greater truth Cyn" whispered by the purple dragon. Without even a flick of hesitation, the dragoness leaned in to him and pressed her lips against his.

Closing his eyes as they enveloped into the kiss taking in the wave of pleasure and comfort that flowed right through his body, pushing the same feeling onto Cynder producing a quiet moan and relaxing profoundly.

Their minds melting away into the paradise the pair had sent themselves into, raising his right wing up Spyro moved it forward and wrapped it around the black dragoness and pulling her closer with their bodies touching, Cynder felt even greater relaxation feeling his warmth and body around her.

Not wanting to part the pair after the lips separated for a split second straight away pressed them together enduring the blissful second kiss, with Spyro towering over her being a tad taller feeling more relaxed leaning her head upwards and her body down slightly felt even greater.

After enjoying the mixture of feelings for a few more seconds, finally parting from each other, taking in a breath of satisfaction, the pair gazed into each other's eyes.

Spyro every time he veered into the emerald colour of her eyes he could never look away, the bright colour drawing him in he would stare into them for all eternity if he could.

"I love you" articulated very calm and casual by the purple dragon, staring into his eyes Cynder could have just melted in the moment of pure bliss.

"I love you".

Leaning her head over Cynder to the side of his face, she planted another kiss on his cheek and followed up to place a gentle lick on his cheek. A twitch lit up his face as he felt the passion surge over him unable to continue the smile on him.

Before Cynder moved herself and leaned against him placing her head underneath his with his wing still draped over her, the tails wrapped around each other both gazing out to the view of the city again.

Sat enjoying the comfort and passion of each other's company, not wishing to echo a word to each other just enjoy the moment together. The feel of each other's breathing adding to the tenderness of everything going through them especially for Cynder.

After everything she had been through in the past and the adventure through life they took, being able to get experience everything so natural and her decision was breath-taking, being able to experience falling in love for the dragon who influenced her life so much and give her strength felt so surreal.

The wave of feelings she built up and now express to Spyro was the greatest experience she ever could have asked for, exploring this feeling of love gave her hope that she had a future to look forward to.

And being able to share that with the purple dragon made her feel like the luckiest dragoness in the entire world.

As the time passed, the sunset beginning to reach its end with the night sky fast approaching soon. Cynder finally broke the silence "I'm glad you came over tonight."

"I'm glad I did too, I was waiting so patiently to get to feel you again." responded Spyro.

"By how amazing you made me feel since getting here, keep talking like that and you might get to feel more later."

Hearing those words prompted Spyro to make a seductive growl vibrating his body.

"Don't tempt me Cynder, I wouldn't be able to keep my claws off you all night,"

"Mmm… I love it when you growl like that" as if on cue the purple dragon responded and vibrated his body growling tenderly, feeling the pulsations of the growls excited the dragoness cooing.

"Such a tease."

"Anything to please you Cyn."

"You know it's hard to imagine it's only been nine months since we first declared ourselves to courting. It feels like it's been years," said the black dragoness engrossed where she was.

It was nine months when the two enjoying some time off had gone to the valley of Avalar together for the day, being one of their favourite places in the world they were having a relaxing time near the river and enjoying each other's company away from prying eyes.

Getting away from the city was refreshing and allowed the pair to spend time on themselves. In the evening under a beautiful night sky, the pair would have a bit of a play fight and chase.

Over the lustful fields Spyro tempted Cynder into chasing him until catching him and pushing him down a hill with the purple dragon taking her down with him.

They rolled all the way down over each other before landing in a field of long grass with Spyro on the bottom and Cynder laying on top of him. It then came to the two gazing into each other's and telling each other how they adored their time together.

Until Spyro jumped it and in a big confession telling her how he truly thought of her and declared his love to her, Cynder confessed her feelings to him to before they ended up embracing into a kiss.

The initial sensation of experiencing their feelings confessed to each other and their first kiss was overpowering, so intense it was hard for their minds to comprehend what they were experiencing without running wild.

Eventually it had ended up into a full make-out session all wrapped up in each other. It was a blissful experience for them both and one they wouldn't forget. Spyro reminiscing on that precious memory.

"It was amazing, hard to believe it was only that long ago."

"Best moment of my life ever" said a content Cynder laid against the purple dragon. Feeling inquisitive however, Spyro imposed a thought to her.

"I just think it is time we let everyone know Cynder."

The black dragon hearing that was a little weary and leaned up to look at him.

"I know Spyro… I just wanted us to enjoy this. Allow time and spend it with you,"

"I know Cyn and I understand why you felt like that at first but it's been ages now and I think they deserve to know about us… everyone would be happy for us, to be honest the guardians knowing them will be like 'Well you two took your time didn't you?' I can already picture it from them; Cyril for definite."

Giggling at his imitation of the guardians, Cynder smiled thinking about it "I know Spyro and you're right but…."

A little unsure on how to express herself, the two had agreed to keep their courtship a secret, worrying over how much attention it could attract not just from their friends but most Warfang considering their status of war heroes from everyone.

"Let's announce it when we find the right moment okay, I'd rather not just blurt it out at random in public that would be awkward."

"Agreed… rather not a display ha-ha." a small chuckle escaping the purple dragon's maw as Cynder leaned back against him

"Stay here tonight?" sweetly asking the purple dragon who looked to her seductive.

"You didn't need to ask my beautiful dragoness." working his way down to her side, he began playfully nibbling at her neck very gentle-like.

The dragoness reacted with a soft moan. Each nibble sending waves of ecstatic pleasure down her spine coursing through her body. Absolute heavenly wonders as she felt as if she was melting away.

"Ohhhhh…. Spyro,"

Spyro enjoying himself hearing his mate in complete bliss pleased him thoroughly. Finishing, he leaned back up.

"I'll save more for later" asking suggestively to the dragoness replying with a frown disappointed.

"Such a mean tease you are,"

A small chuckle escaped the purple dragon's mouth before looking to the pack "Right mind if we catch up on some revision before we turn in for tonight."

"Well, Spyro I'd prefer if we just skipped the revision, went to bed and just make out for the rest of the night?" said in a very seductive voice, trying to tempt the purple dragon. Cynder looking into his eyes.

"Oh, I would love nothing more than to pick you up, take you over there right now and enjoy your lips all night but I want to be sure considering my examination to be a full status guard tomorrow," replied Spyro forcing self-control onto himself.

"We can do some Spyro. But you know I would say you are worrying other nothing; you will do amazing tomorrow."

The dragonesses faith and support in him was very moving and a big motivator for the purple dragon.

"I know Cynder I just want to be sure."

Separating themselves from each other the pair got themselves up and went over the table and Spyro opened up his pack and took out a book detailing the basics of guardship and a revision book, before he started looking through Cynder interrupted him.

"Here Spyro lets test you, I'll read out some writings and then answer me. That will test your knowledge,"

The purple dragon happily obliged, passing the book over to her and he sat himself near a bed fashioned from some fabrics organised nicely on the floor, Cynder opened the book into a few pages full of wording, she began to scroll through to find what they were looking for.

Turning a couple of pages, she came to a part with scribbles of writing producing a smile

"Perfect… right Spyro your first question." the purple dragon readied himself as Cynder read out the first question "If you had confronted an outlaw who held an innocent civilian hostage or in a life-risking position, what would be your course of action?"

"I would first ensure if any other civilians were present to clear them away from the area. Turning to the outlaw try to negotiate to ensure the hostage remains safe and potentially extract to safety without harm. Failing that, if deemed the hostage will come to harm then act quickly to reduce the risk to the civilian and subdue the outlaw. First priority is the civilian's safety."

"Very good Spyro spot on." Hearing that pleased the purple dragon.

"Now if you were when a building or area was in a state of danger and life-threatening, for example, a fire had broken out and people were at risk how would you respond?"

Spyro collected his thoughts, getting together his answer for this question.

"Right so if a building was on fire with people inside, I would first ensure no one else would be in danger and the area cleared so I can focus on the one's trapped, if possible and within my ability to tackle the fire's head on and put out."

"If in doing so would take too long or the building was unstable and in danger of collapsing, I would attempt to rescue the civilians out of the building while ensuring I do not put myself or others in any unnecessary danger,"

Cynder nodding her head sweetly, very impressed by the answer.

"Well done Spyro, see you got all this down,"

Flicking through a couple more pages, Cynder thought it was time to find a more interesting question to test him.

"Oh." escaped out of her mouth and stopped on a page, scrolling through she found what she was after and looked back to him.

"Right…... while working as a guard if you come to suspect a fellow guard has acted corrupt. For example, accepting a bribe of a member of the city's population, what would you do?"

"That's a good one Cyn" the purple dragon scratching his under jaw a few times thinking hard before he gave an answer.

"Okay so should I come to suspect one of my peers of acting corrupt I would take my concerns and report it to my superior or any higher level and proceed based on how they advise or they will act on my suspicions and investigate,"

Cynder was about to interject but stopped, the purple dragon expanding on his answer.

"However, if it was my superior who I suspected, I would go above them either reporting to the tier above or even the city council itself."

Upon hearing that Cynder looked at the purple dragon highly seductive, closing the book and placing it on the table she stood up and walked over towards the purple dragon swaying her hips at him instantly capturing the purple dragon's stare.

"You know what Spyro?"

The black dragoness leaned her head and pushed against his upper chest forcing him to end up on his back in the bed, taken by surprise initially he watched as she climbed herself on top of him and laid her body down on top of his looking into his eyes.

"How about we just skip the rest of it as you are just going to pass with flying colours at this rate and move on." A sheepish smile crept on to his face as he took his fore legs and embraced his paws over her upper back, staring deep into each other's eyes the black dragoness added to him.

"You're all mine now." Wasting no time, she pressed her maw against his joining together, the instant wave of pleasure hitting them both shook them to their core.

The kiss leading to another enjoying the taste of each other's lips before it evolved into a full make out, the pure tender and bliss of the entire situation was heavenly as they explored each other, Cynder brought her tongue out caressing over Spyro's responding in kind.

Exploring each other's mouth's flickering about with nothing to deter them from each other. Eyes closed and their thought's running wild over each other.

Going back and forth it would return to kiss before more tongue action and so forth, Spyro's paws rubbed Cynder's back and made their way down her back.

The feeling sent shivers down her spine it felt so good as his claws reached her lower back just above her tail base, the pleasure she was tasting from it caused a moan to erupt from her, they didn't want to leave each other's grasp and keep it up.

This continued on for minutes and minutes, neither wanted to let each other go with the occasional second break for air before they continued on each other, Spyro's claws rubbing around her lower back was ecstatic she couldn't contain herself.

The powerful overwhelming instincts controlling their movements and actions on each other, but so far in their commitment to each other this is as far as they have gone with each other.

While Cynder on one paw wanted to go further, Spyro didn't want to as he felt it would rush in considering they have their entire lives to spend together.

Still at it, these moments were luxurious for them. So, intoxicating it was a paradise for the two young lovers.

Only finally ending when they could no longer take it anymore, separating their maws from each other and making a gasp for air, Cynder smiled deeply feeling sensitive as she tried to regain herself from all the wildness she went through.

"You really know how to make a girl feel amazing."

"For you, only the best effort I can offer" said the purple dragon very sheepish and truthful to his words.

"Well, your efforts are leading to you getting very well rewarded my very handsome purple dragon,".

Cynder lifted herself off and slide herself down to his side and laid against him in the bed. He adjusted himself and laid to his side where her back would, laying against his underbelly.

Wrapping his free wing over her and placing his forearm over her getting into a contented position with his tail wrapping around hers.

Rested down with her against him felt blissful, all cuddled and wrapped up with her in bed as they relaxed themselves with a deep breath. Spyro at that moment said calmly.

"You comfortable?" Cynder let out a sigh in rejoinder.

"With you here, I couldn't be any more comfy,".

It gratified both guaranteeing to be a peaceful night for them both in the company and arms of each other.

"If I pass my test tomorrow can we announce we are courting?"

Cynder was at first a little cautious hearing that idea but relented to his desire "All right, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to reveal it then and it's when you pass."

A deep smile formed on the purple dragon's face as they settled down now ready to get a good sleep for the following day, Spyro moved his claw rubbing against the part of her side behind her foreleg joint.

A twitch followed by a small titter erupted from her maw.

"Oh, please not there Spyro, I'm ticklish there,".

She immediately regretted saying that with a devious idea establishing in the purple dragon's head with his saying.

"Oh, are you now?"

Spyro took his claws and gently scratched at her side and she yelped followed by giggling as she tried to move herself.

"No Spyro, stop that now." demanded the dragoness.

Spyro smiled very dark and infolded his lower legs around her under body and rubbed and scratched at her side with more force causing the dragoness to squeal louder and struggle with endless giggling.

"Ah…. Spyro stop it… ah…."

He held her in place as his other form arm and back legs wrapped around her, trapped in his embrace as Spyro assaulted her side making her squeal loudly squirming around desperately trying to get free.

"Oh, my ancestors…. cut it…. out now… Spyro."

Deciding to have more fun and be a little cheeky, Spyro announced in a seductive tone.

"If you ask nicely, I'll think about it."

"Can you cut…. it out now…. Spyro I'm dying here."

"Come on, you can ask nicer than that Cyn."

He intensified the pressure he was applying causing her to squirm even more with the giggling from the dragoness more endearing.

"Please…. Spyro I can't take it… I'm begging you Spyro… please stop."

Deciding he tortured her enough, he moved his claws away and back over as he released her lower body and settled his legs back into place. Cynder gasped and caught her breath with the giggles subsiding slowly.

Once she got herself back together, she turned her head to gaze profoundly at the purple dragon.

"You better not do that to me again," she said acting like a threat

"Oh, I can't promise that Cyn… you look so cute when you're squirming, I think it's something I will enjoy a lot," responded the purple dragon having very much enjoyed himself.

The black dragoness pretending to be unamused made a half smile to him.

"Oh, you know enjoyed it Cyn" said Spyro as she continued her stare at him, rolling her eyes. The black dragoness turned her head back and laid comfortably.

"I'll let you off this my purple dragon… only because you've treated me well tonight."

Pulling her closer to him the purple dragon leaned forward, and she turned her head up pressing their lips together to share one last kiss with each other.

Laying themselves down the two let themselves get taken by the sleep and shut their eyes, the feel of their breathes and small movements very comforting.

"I love you Spyro,"

"I love you too Cynder, Goodnight,"

"Goodnight,"

Finishing their words to each other, the two lovers all cuddled up together relaxed and drifted themselves off to the pit of slumber.

Having enjoyed their time together tonight and to spend the night together was a feeling they both adore, having endured so many years in the war to find themselves at peace and where they are now very content as the night took hold ready for a well-deserved rest.

Hey all hope you enjoyed this bit of fluff between these two lovers. Now after two years since they defeated Malefor did you guys honestly think these two wouldn't be together yet. Come on these two are practically soulmates destined for each other. Although they did take their time. I did drop very subtle hints in the previous chapters but it was hard to tell I suppose.

It took me a bit of time to word this chapter together as usually I struggle to write together romance scenes like this especially in my previous Spyro stories and sometimes in my other stories. It was hard for me to even do half a romance scene of this size. But I feel like I've outdone myself here and shown my development over the years in writing. I feel this is the best romance scene I've done yet. My best one before this I think is in my land of the Eeveelutions story with Asra and Carley.

Just to reassure everyone don't expect fast updates as I am fitting this around my time and personal life but I'm really enjoying where this is going so far. I have so many ideas for this story. In a long time, I'm so excited about writing a story and of course the Legend of Spyro being one of my most favourite trilogies' in existence.

Thanks everyone for your support. Hope you enjoyed leave some feedback and I'll see you guys in the next chapter.
