Chapter 5: The Wedding, Dragon Temple, 1700hrs (5pm)
Just as we arrive on the scene, the ceremony is about to start. Spyro is standing at the altar, blindfolded may I note as in dragon culture, before the bride and groom say their "I Do's" is the end of the week I mentioned earlier. We zoom in on Spyro, as nervous as he's ever been, when suddenly the organ begins to play. Just as it starts to play, Cynder finally arrives, blindfold and all, at the altar, on Spyro's right as a sign of luck.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to bind these two young heroes in the eternal bonds of wedlock." Ignitus, who was actually asked to serve as the minister, tells all. As Ignitus drones on, we suddenly hear Cynder's thoughts. "I know that Spyro would never be unfaithful to our relationship. But what if that Ace person is right? What if he is still dating Ember behind my back?" she thinks, all the while, Spyro is saying his vows, but we only hear the conclusion.
"To thee I pledge my sacred honor." Spyro tells his fiancée, as she suddenly snaps back to reality and begins to say her vows, we now begin to hear what Spyro is thinking. "Cynder would never cheat on me with Flame, I know it! But still, what if that Ace person wasn't lying? I know she was, but how do I know she's not? Ach! I'm so confused right now!" we hear Spyro thinking, just as Cynder finishes her vows, ironically. "To thee I pledge my sacred honor." Cynder tells her true love, as he snaps into reality.
Meanwhile, outside the window, Enchanting Ace is looking in on the ceremony, trying to ensure that her plan goes as she planned. "This could be good; I can feel that both of them are unsure of each other. I can feel the sweet distrust and doubt in the air, and it's making me stronger by the second! Soon, I'll be able to steal Spyro's powers and kidnap Cynder, and then my master will be one step closer to returning!" the demoness tells herself before something happens that even she didn't see coming. "Hold on a second, something is off. I'm losing my strength; that can only mean one thing! The sweet distrust and doubt are vanishing! All I can feel in the air is love and compassion! It makes me sick!" she says as she realizes she's slipping off the window. "Oh no." she says as the falls off the window and lands in a bush as the wedding continues upstairs.
Back at the wedding, everything seems to be going well for our soon to be newlyweds as both of them have regained their confidence in each other. "Do you take each other to be your lawfully wedded mate?" Ignitus asks. Right at this moment, all our two heroes can say is, well, I'll let them say it. "I do." The two of them say at the exact same time "Well, then by the power vested in me by the Ancestors, I hereby pronounce you husband and wife." Ignitus says as the crowd erupts in cheer. Just then, Ember and Sparx come up from behind the bride and groom and remove their blindfolds, allowing the two newlyweds to see each other's faces for the first time in a week.
To Spyro, Cynder looked like an ancient goddess, the personification of grace and deadly beauty. To Cynder, no other could compare to Spyro, seemingly the personification of the heroism and leadership that comes with his heritage.
"You may now kiss the bride" Ignitus tells our two lovebirds. But the two are actually way ahead of him as both are already interlocked in a kiss as he says it. "I guess you two are ahead of me."
As the guests depart for the reception later on, we return to the bush that Ace landed in, as she suddenly sticks her head out of it. "Okay, that is it! I have tried everything to drive those two apart! Using my powers on Spyro, trying to drive the two of them apart with rumors of an affair that I made up, nothing worked! That's it, no more Ms. Nice Demon! I'm going to have to take matters into my own hands!" the demon speaks as she walks off, plotting something incredibly bad.
Oh boy! What does Ace have up her sleeve this time?! I'd tell you, but that'd spoil the story! I am so sorry I haven't been updating in December! Finals and everything have me kind of distracted, plus I'm getting involved in another project of mine that I will not reveal at the moment. Just note, Spyro and Cynder in Pride and Prejudice Chapter 1 will be up either later this week or next. Anyways, to see what happens at the reception, tune in next chapter. Same Time, Same Channel!
