Another chapter. Sorry for making you people wait a while I'm just lazy.
One week later
Spyro was walking down to the cafeteria of the dragon temple for breakfast as well as meeting up with Cynder later. Apparently Cynder likes to sleep in. Not what you would expect from the "Terror of the Skies". In any case, as Spyro was making his way through the corridors of the temple, a loud excited shriek could be heard from behind, causing Spyro to freeze.
'Oh ancestors not her not right now it's too early fo-'
"SPYROOOOOO". A pink blur slammed into the side of Spyro, causing them both to tumble off to the left. The blur was a dragoness with blue eyes the same age as Spyro. Her underbelly was a pure white with hot pink scales and wing membranes. Her horns tilted back and curved around towards each other like a halo. Her tail fin curved into the shape of a heart. Her tail also had a fin branching from the bottom that had a purple colouring. A similar fin stretched down form the back of her neck to the middle of her head. Upon her front claws were golden bracelets that certainly looked expensive. Around her tailfin lay a similar bracelet and hanging from her slim neck was a golden bracelet. The bracelet had a red crystal carved like a heart encrusted into the centrepiece. The dragoness currently had hearts in her eyes as she nuzzled up to Spyro.
"Good morning Spyro~", the new dragoness said in a singsong voice.
"Hello Ember", Spyro replied in a very monotone voice so as to not show his annoyance. "It is a good morning isn't it." Spyro was talking about the cloudless sky and shining sun. However Ember took her own interpretation.
"Awww you're saying because you're seeing me it's a good morning?" This was more a statement than a question. "You always know the right thing to say!" Ember then continued to nuzzle up to Spyro, forcing Spyro's attempts of escape to be halted.
"Look Ember, I need you to get off. I need to get to the cafeteria and you are currently laying on top of me". Spyro's voice sounded quite strained. 'Cynder please save me from this hell'
Speak of the devil and she shall come, Cynder had just woke up and was on her way to the food hall herself when she heard Spyro asking some to 'get off'. Her trail of thought went around the same way as Spyro's. 'Ancestors give me the patients to deal with Pinky'.
Cynder turned the corner to see the scene of Spyro struggling to escape Embers affection, and weight. Spyro turned his head towards Cynder and his eyes lit up with hope. The look he gave Cynder was clearly a "SAVE ME PLEASE" distress call.
With a sigh, Cynder wrapped her claw around the tail of the pink dragoness and pulled her off of Spyro, Spyro looked eternally grateful yet Ember did not seem to agree.
"Who is trying to pull apart eternal love?", Ember shrieked. "Oh it's you…" For reasons unknown to Spyro, Ember seemed to have a natural hatred or disgust of his companion. The feeling was mutual however.
"Yes I'm the one pulling you off my friend who was crying for help. Now what are you going to do about it?" Cynder asked in a calm voice.
"You need to back off. Spyro is mine and mine alone. You can't have him."
"Ever thought that Spyro has a choice in who he wants to spend time with?" Cynder's eye was now twitching in annoyance.
'If this pink princess doesn't back off I might just become a murderer by choice.'
"Yes and clearly he wants to be with me. Not you", Ember retorted whilst attempting to push closer into Spyro, who was clearly uncomfortable with the dragonesses actions.
"Ember please let go, I'm too hungry to deal with this right now, and I'm sure Cynder agrees with me." Spyro decided to attempt to dissolve the escalating argument. These two had gotten into fights very quickly although usually Ember starts it and is the one to run off complaining about Cynder cheating.
"Fine. But I'm not leaving you alone with her," the pink dragoness pouted.
As Ember backed away, Cynder walked up to Spyro. "Do you want me to do the thing?" she asked.
"Please", was Spyro's answer.
Cynder then wrapped her wing around Spyro and pulled him in close while dissolving into a shadow. This caused Spyro to be dragged into the aptly named 'shadow dimension' with her.
Ember's eyes bulged with horror as she started searching and calling for 'her true love' whilst cursing Cynder for taking him.
The two hidden dragons watched with baited breath as they waited for Ember to leave. After around ten minutes, Ember ran off to search for Spyro and 'the demon'. Cynder then pulled them out of the shadows and back into reality. Spyro then wrapped Cynder with a wing repeating "Thank you thank you" over and over again. The close contact caused Cynder to slightly blush but thankfully Spyro didn't see it.
"Ye-Yeah you're welcome now can we get food." Cynder spluttered out. "Princess could come back at any time." Spyro's eyes widened in horror at the thought of dealing with her again. Cynder was then pulled along by Spyro in a hurry to get to the cafeteria, getting strange looks by most of the other dragons/dragonesses.
Over the months that Spyro and Cynder were gone -for which they still have no explanation- multiple dragon colonies have come out of hiding and converged at the city of Warfang after hearing of Malefor's defeat at the hands of Spyro. Although Cynder helped quite a bit in the fight, the general dragon populace refused to acknowledge her as 'Cynder' but more as 'the Terror of the Skies' despite -most of- the guardians and -especially- Spyro's remarks otherwise.
Most of the mole people have taken a liking towards Cynder as they would likely not be around had she and Spyro not arrived in time to save them from Malefor's siege of Warfang.
Cynder and Spyro hadn't made many friends in the dragon temple, most of the dragon populace have filled their children's heads with tales of the Terror and so many misjudge her. This in turn leads to Spyro standing up for her and so not many friends were made. Most of the dragon populace had gotten the idea though: "You don't like Cynder, you won't like me". Cynder has constantly told Spyro to stop standing up for her like this but Spyro would always just turn, smile and say "What kind of best friend would I be if I didn't stand up for you?" After a while Cynder gave up trying and just accepting his help, practically glowing on the inside.
