(Yes, the title says it all...there's not gonna be a lemon in this chapter, because fuck expectations, and fuck my life, fortunately, a nice Reviewer by the name of SKdaGamer helped me to open up my stupid eyes, and realize I don't have to conform to this shit, anyways, onto this revamped, PG Family Friendly channel)

Chapter 11: True love

Spyro was with Cynder and his friends when he caught sight of Shard finally emerging onto the Courtyard, he appeared to be tired from last night, Spyro assumed he hadn't slept well because of Rose.

"

"Well, me and Cynder are going to go train, just because Malefor attacked us is no reason to stop our training" Spyro pointed out as she and Cynder coiled tails and walked off into the forest.

"Today we will he focusing on mastering your Wind Abilities, something that takes much mastering to control" Spyro told Cynder as they walked to the clearing where they trained.

"So, how exactly does this work?" She asked as Spyro handed her a scroll for later.

"I've gotten only the best type of material ready for our lesson, Wind is much more streamlined than Poison or Shadow, thus it means that it must be under your total control, or else you could cause a string of catastrophes" the Purple Dragon explained as Cynder giggled.

"You know, your very cute when your a nerd" she replied as Spyro blushed.

"Oh well...thank you...anyways, we'll start with a simple stream of Wind, and for that, I've got this" Spyro pulled out a slip of paper.

"I want you to try and control the direction this paper goes with your Wind Stream, so now, close your eyes, and imagine a breeze blowing through your body, now, harness it...and release it" Cynder followed Spyro's instructions, and her eyes turned a dark blue as she released a stream of Wind.

"Good, very good, now don't let up, I'm inserting the paper" Spyro informed her as he placed the paper in the blast zone of her wind, and it immediately flew off into the air, as Cynder stopped, she looked up, impressed with her new power.

"Very good, very good, now, as a challenge, go and try to find that paper, knowing where you blast your target is a good way to sneak attack the unsuspecting victim, I'll be waiting here for you" Spyro explained as she nodded and ran off into the woods.

"Now, where could that paper be?" She wondered to herself as she stalked through the woods, hearing various critters and such as she trekked through the forest, she eventually found it, and saw an opening through some bushes, as she picked up the paper, she noticed the various creatures that brushed through the undergrowth, she breathed in the fresh air and sighed in relief, then she finally picked up the paper in order to return it to Spyro.

"I wonder when Spyro and myself will mate with each other (I'm keeping this in because I can't think of any other generic thought to use)...we've grown very far in our relationship" she thought to herself as she returned to Spyro, who was standing there expectantly.

"Sorry, Spyro, I got held up unexpectedly" she explained as Spyro kept an understanding look on his face.

"It's fine, besides, you brought back the paper, didn't you?" He held his hand out so that Cynder could give him the paper.

"Right, let's continue" Spyro gestured with his wing, and they continued with their training...

Meanwhile

Shard was in his room, he had decided to swerve clear of his friends, he'd rather not weigh his own problems on theirs, he felt entitled to that, he then heard a knock on his door, it was his mom, Glacia.

"Shard? Can I come in?" She asked as Shard looked at the door, he didn't flinch. "Sure..." He trailed off as Glacia slowly opened the door and crammed herself through the small entryway (It was built for younger dragons).

"Sweetie, are you okay? You barely touched any of the food left for you" Glacia asked as they both looked at the cold, uneaten food resting on the little table in the corner. "I'm fine, okay? Just leave me alone..." Shard muttered as Glacia attempted to get closer.

"I said leave me alone!" He tried to blast her with his ice shards, but she deflected them with her own. "Shard, you can't overpower me, let me talk to you, please, I'm your mother" Glacia's tail curled around Shard's back.

"I...I miss her..." He referred to Rose as tears started to swell, but they froze up. "I know you do, she was special to you, we all know that, but she was evil" Glacia explained as Shard couldn't even hold back the tears.

"Then why can't I stop thinking about her!? She's in my head! I see her in my dreams! I can't let her go!" Shard held his head, causing Glacia to pull her son closer to her. "Let us help you, let Cyril and I help, your friends are also here for you, Shard, don't carry this burden alone, confide in Spyro, let him help you." Glacia told him as they remained where they were, letting Shard cry for as long as he needed...

"Very good, Cynder, keep it up" Spyro was impressed as the Dragoness started using more advanced skills with her Wind Stream.

"Okay, I think that's enough training for today, don't you?" He suggested as Cynder nodded in agreement.

"Come on, let's head back, oh, and before I forget, here" Spyro handed her another scroll. "this should come in handy for you, now come on" he gestured with his wing as they walked back to the Temple, but Cynder kept one nagging question in her mind.

"Do I deserve Spyro?" She wondered, she glanced at him, his face still bore the nasty scar that ran down his eye, but fortunately didn't get his eye, a scar that she gave him, she felt ashamed, Spyro noticed that she seemed sad, and draped his wing over her, giving her comfort.

"Whatever is it that your sad about, I'm here for you" he told her, causing her to weakly smile, and the two walked back to the temple.

(Yeah, that's right, we're done, apologies for the lackage of chapters, I haven't been able to write as I've been hanging out with my cousins in Orlando, Cousins that I only regularly get to see once a year, and also, I figured I'd write a chapter for New Years, so happy New Year!)
