Flash back
Cynder cringed in pain as Bolder pinned both of her wings to the ground with his earth shards. She tried to use her tail blade to fend them off, but Icicle was holding it down. She was about to use some of her elemental powers, but that was when Blast held her head to the ground. Through the corner of Cynder's eye she saw Blast lift his own tail blade near her throat, and was just about to plunge it into her neck, when she saw a purple paw grab hold of his tail, and pull it back. Everyone turned their attention to Spyro and saw that he was snarling at Blast and released his tail.
"Well looks like the little whelping wants to start round 2 early, hold her still, while I take care of him." Ordered Blast, who got nods from both Icicle, and Bolder.
"You talk too much. Quit your blabbering and let me kill you already!" Spyro shouted, taking both Icicle and Bolder off guard. Blast on the other paw was not fazed by the threat.
"You're going to kill me? Don't make me laugh, you could hardly…" started Blast before Spyro interrupted him, by pouncing on top of him, and placing his tail blade against his throat leaving a small incision. Not deep enough to cause any harm, but deep enough to let a little amount of blood spill out.
Spyro lean forwarded and whisper to Blast "Like I said, shut up. Now get up and next time, I won't hesitate." Spyro then got off of Blast and backed up, giving him some room.
"Fine if that is the way you want it." Blast said as he got into a fighting position.
The two stood still waiting for the other to make the first move. This lasted all about 5 seconds, when Spyro began to charge forward, and when he was close enough tried to knock Blast down only for him to roll out of the way. When Blast stood back up he faced several ice shards flying towards him. Blast breathed out a large from which melted the ice before they could reach their target. Spyro quickly ran up next to him, and smashed his head with a rock he found on the ground. Blast stumbled back a bit. Spyro tried to get close to him again only to be hit by a fireball, leaving scorch marks along his chest.
Soon the two of them were covered head to toe in cuts and bruises. Both dragons were breathing heavily. Spyro still seemed eager to fight more, while Blast had a slight worried look on his face, as his legs started to wobble from exhaustion and his vision began to blur a little. Out of the two of them, Blast was in worst condition. He had deep bloody gashes along his head, body, and tail. Spyro on the other hand was also had blood dripping down his body but the majority of it wasn't his.
"Come on Blast, I thought you were a big strong dragon. Now look at you. It's pathetic!" taunted Spyro as a large grin grew on his face.
"Blast if you don't think you can win this fight, then let's just go!" said Bolder worried about the condition his friend was in.
"NO, I'm not going to let this puny, pathetic, worthless dragon defeat me! I will win!". Blast ran at Spyro baring his teeth. Spyro easily moved out of the way, and grabbed Blast by his tail. He pulled him back, and when he was close enough, he bit down onto his neck.
Cynder watch the grin on Spyro's face grow even larger, as blood began to drip down his muzzle. Her heart sank and her body started to shake. Some were in the back of her mind she knew what was about to happen, but she prayed to the ancestors that he wouldn't do it. Cynder wasn't the only one with the same thought in mind. She could also feel both Bolder and Icicle began to tremble, as they continued to hold her down.
"WAIT DON'T!" shouted Bolder, but it was too late. Cynder's fears came true as a loud snapping sound echoed throughout the ally way.
Spyro released Blast from his mouth. Blast landed on the ground with a thud, his head completely twisted around facing Cynder and his friends. Cynder could feel his cold lifeless eyes stare at her.
"Blast?" called Icicle as tears began to form in his eyes "Are…are you ok buddy?"
Cynder felt tears drip down onto her as Icicle began to cry at the loss of Blast, while Bolder's legs bucked up and he fell on top of her. As for Cynder, her eyes were wide with shock and her mouth fell open. She couldn't believe what she just saw. Spyro, the kindest dragon she ever met just kill someone.
"So who is next!" said Spyro maniacally turning around to face the three remaining dragons.
"You killed him" mumbled Icicle. "YOU FUCKING MONSTER, YOU KILLED HIM!"
"Yeah I know what I did, I was here when I did it." Spyro shrugged, as if what he did, didn't mean anything to him.
"Come on Icicle let's get out of here, before he kills us as well!" Spyro watch to two dragons run off in fear probably to go fine a city guard, leaving Cynder alone with him.
"Well I guess it's just you and me then Cynder" said Spyro as he approached Cynder. Once he was at her side he reached down and pulled out one of the earth shards keeping her wings to the ground, then went over to the other side and removed the other one as well.
Cynder stood back up and asked "Why did you kill him?!"
"Because I wanted to kill him, and now I'm going to kill you."
Before Spyro could make a move Cynder used her fear element on him. He fell down onto the ground and placed both of his quivering paws on his head, as his greatest fear played before his eyes. Cynder didn't know what to do. She couldn't just leave him; he would be taken by the guards and executed. No matter what he did, she couldn't bring herself to let that happen to him. Seeing no other choice, she wrapped her tail around his throat and began to chock him. Spyro never noticed that Cynder was chocking him. He just laid there trembling with fear in his eyes. Cynder began to tear up as she thought back to when those eyes of his were filled with joy and happiness. Now she just couldn't believe how things turned out like this.
Just before Spyro fell unconscious he reached out on of his paw towards the sky and began grasping at nothing and said "No Cynder, please don't go, don't leave me here all alone."
End flash back
"Then I brought you back here. I asked Hunter if he could tie you up for me just in case you weren't back to your normal self. Luckily Hunter hasn't asked what happened yet. I waited here all day and all night, hoping you would wake up soon." said Cynder finishing up her story.
Spyro sat there in utter disbelief. He didn't what to think that what she said was true, but some were in the back of his mind, he knew it was. His heart began to race and his body started to shake as he began to panic. Cynder approached him to help comfort him, only for Spyro to back away. When she tried to approach him again he quickly ran out of the room, and out of the house. Worried for his wellbeing Cynder chased after him.
Spyro ran, as fast as his leg would let him and went to the most peace full place he knew, the park. Once there he hid behind a large tree. He heard Cynder call his name. He stood still, hoping she wouldn't find him. Unfortunately, luck was not on his side.
Cynder saw Spyro's tail poking out from the other side of a tree, and slowly walked towards him. When she found him, he was silently crying to himself with his eye glued shut.
"Spyro I…" before Cynder could finish her sentence Spyro's eyes opened up letting loose more tears and began slowly back away from her.
"Just stay away from me Cynder!"
Ignoring him Cynder walked towards him. Still in a state of panic Spyro began to breathe fire and formed a wall of flames to separate the two of them. Cynder stared at Spyro with a serious look on her face. She used her wind element to make a put out the fire. Beginning to panic even more Spyro back up more and started to swipe at her with his claws. Cynder felt his claws graze her scales a few time so she quickened her pace. Spyro soon found himself back up ageist a tree. He watched in horror and tearful eye's as Cynder finally reached him, but to his surprise Cynder started to hug him.
He felt tears run down his back as Cynder started to cry as well before saying "don't you ever do that again; you hear me?!"
Spyro started to hug her as tightly as possible thinking that if he stopped she would disappear forever. "I'm sorry Cynder; I didn't know what else to do. You are all I have left, and I was scared that you thought I was a monster and would leave me."
"I'm not going anywhere Spyro. Don't you forget that."
"But what if I hurt you? What if I do to you what I did to Blast?" Cynder didn't know how to answer that. The silence made Spyro nervous, but the embrace did help him calm down. Even though Spyro felt scared, the longer he held Cynder, he got a better understanding that Cynder didn't care.
The two held their embrace, not wanting to let the other one go. Only until they stopped crying did they let each other go.
"Are you going to be alright?" Cynder asked.
"I don't know. The thought of what I did will haunt me forever."
"Speaking of that, are you sure that you dont have any idea of what happened?"
"No, I don't. Like I said all I remember was when… he was about to kill you." said Spyro too scared to even speak Blast's name. "After that, I had this strange dream and then I woke up in Hunters home."
Cynder let out a sigh. "I was afraid you would say that… come on let's go back to Hunter's place to clean you up. Maybe he might know what happened."
The two dragons then left the park. Spyro felt Cynder's wing being draped over him for comfort and he started to blush slightly as Cynder curled her tail around his.
The Palace – throne room
Flame sat proudly on his throne as he was listening to his adviser, a mole talked about the current construction of the wall, and other political stuff, when a guard entered the room. The guard was a dragon, suited up in armor from head to toe. The guard bowed down to Flame in respect.
"And what brings you here?" asked Flame. Secretly, he thanked the guard for interrupting the incredibly boring meeting.
"I'm sorry to say my lord, but I bring troubling news. I was just informed that the current purple dragon has claimed a life, a child no less." said the guard as he rose back up.
This was not the news that Flame wanted to hear. He took back the thanks that he made in his head. He pondered for a bit before saying "Does anyone know about the current location of the purple dragon?"
"I'm afraid not sire."
"First please send my regards to the parents of this child, and assure them this new menace will be dealt with. Then I want every guard in the city to look out for this purple dragon, and if you see him, I want you take him into custody. I will deal with him then."
The guard bowed once more and left the room.
