Not so much else to say besides please review…and have a nice day! In which case thank you for at least clicking on the story!
Wow, that sounded like Sparx. O_o
Enjoy!
Spyro and Cynder walked close to each other, the coldness stinging their exposed parts of their body. Their teeth were chattering, and moving around was becoming a little hard, thanks to the coldness. Thankfully they weren't neck-high in snow. This time, the snow was thin, but the ground below was freezing and rather rough because it was rock. The only one who wasn't shivering was Fuyuko. She was immune to coldness, but very prone to anything that was warm. Just sixty degrees (F) will make her feel uncomfortable and she'll have to be near something cool. Now ninety degrees (F) would kill her.
They traveled through the mountain for hours. Hunter didn't realize it, but his eyelashes were freezing over.
"Hunter." Spyro said. "You have icicles on your…eyelashes."
"I do?"
"Yeah." Hunter brushed his hands over his eyes and was a little surprised to see that he did have ice on his eyelashes. Which meant…ice on other parts of his fur.
Cynder just laughed at him, but remained close to Spyro's body. Thankfully she was black and was naturally becoming hotter (since dark colors attract more light and heat things up more) so she wasn't as cold as Spyro…never mind Sparx.
The mountain seemed endless. It just felt like more snow, more rock, and more wind. Hunter remained tough and just walked through it all, not really saying much.
There was a time, though, when they had to climb up a small, jagged cliff, and he wasn't able to have his arms wrapped around his body anymore. He climbed up the cliff with ease, but Spyro and Cynder? They're quite the different case.
"I can't climb things!" Cynder said in a frustrated voice.
"Come on Cynder, you can do it! It's not that high!" Fuyuko said.
"Not that high?! This is like…sixty feet!" Cynder said, backing up away from the cliff. She was the only one left down there…everyone else was up at the top.
"Come on, Cynder!" Hunter encouraged. "We're all waiting for you! Just take you time; don't rush. Go when you feel like it."
"Thanks, Hunter…but it's not really going to do much right now!" Cynder said, still refusing to climb up the cliff.
"She's too afraid to come up." Spyro said softly to Hunter.
"What's she afraid of? Other than heights?" Fuyuko asked, kneeling down beside them. (Hunter was already in that position so that he was eye-level with Spyro.)
"Uh, I don't know. Spiders, that's for sure." Spyro said.
"Well that's great. The only thing that lives up here other than me are the occasional mountain goat that I used up on you guys." Fuyuko said, rolling her eyes.
"Hey, you gave that to us!" Spyro protested.
"I know I did…I gave you the parts I thought that you wouldn't mind." Fuyuko winked at him.
"Roasted goose head and goose feet aren't so bad. It was actually pretty good." The purple dragon said with a smile, before Sparx yelled out in disgust,
"Shut up! Will you shut up?!" He was still hidden in the white scarf, his voice being very muffled.
Spyro just rolled his eyes.
"Maybe you should try flying up it!" The purple dragon suggested.
"Fly up it? There's practically no air up here!" Cynder yelled from down where she was. Spyro just sighed.
"You guys really are clueless." Fuyuko said with a smile. "Don't worry, honey. I'll get you up!" Fuyuko moved her hands in a position that looked as if she was doing sign language and mumbled some words in another language to herself.
Cynder steadied herself on the ground as the a small platform below her began to form from ice and snow. She stayed still as the ice made her rise to the top. Fuyuko was very careful in setting Cynder down on the ground. When the black dragoness landed safely, she sighed relief.
"Thank you, Fuyuko." She said, smiling briefly at her.
"Don't worry, Cynder." With that, Fuyuko started to walk away again.
For hours and hours they walked. The snow eventually turned to just rock, and then the air started to get more humid and warmer.
Now they were just descending down the mountain's rocky, jagged side. Fuyuko wasn't able to control the ice or snow (because there's none there DUH) so she was also forced to climb down rather than he lifted down.
Spyro and Cynder were relieved to feel that the air was finally thicker, so now they were able to fly.
Cynder was hovering near Fuyuko, just in case if she slipped, and Spyro was near Hunter, being a 'spotter' for the same thing. Sparx was now out of Fuyuko's scarf and was fluttering back and forth, in-between the two dragons.
"You know I still remember when Spyro was really small." Sparx said. "You still are."
"Gee, thanks Sparx." Spyro said sarcastically.
"Well it's true! You were also really fat. I mea, really. You couldn't even get airborne."
"Sparx…" Spyro said in a warning tone, but his friendly eyes let the dragonfly know that he was kidding.
Finally, the two cheetahs managed to get down the cliff. It was relief for both of them when their feet touched the rocky, dull-colored ground.
Hunter looked up at Spyro and watched his friend land safely down on the ground with Cynder.
"Is everyone alright?" Fuyuko asked, brushing off her arm of whatever the heck could have possibly gotten on it.
"Yeah…yeah, we're okay." Spyro said and looked out at the land over them.
"I remember this place." Hunter said. "This was where Fuyuko found me." He said softly as the landscape slowly became more and more familiar.
The land was just a barren, rocky land, but far off in the distance, there was a rainforest. Fuyuko won't do too good in a rainforest…but if it's the only way to get to the city on Dragon Mountain, then she might as well risk it. Even if she's risking her life…but she knows something that Hunter doesn't, and she must keep it a secret. She knew that Hunter wouldn't believe her if she just verbally told him, so she would have him see it. Really, who would believe her? Most things wouldn't.
The sky was now cloudy and even though the air was warmer, it was still very cool.
For hours and hours, they still continued to walk, until the sky began to darken with the sunset. They didn't want to be caught out at night in this place. It'll still get very cold, and for a small dragonfly, could be potentially deadly.
But while they were walking through the land, Spyro began to think…and started to realize that he doesn't know enough about Hunter. So then he decided to ask some rather simple things…
"Hey Hunter, what's one of your favorite things to do?" Spyro asked, looking up at his friend.
Hunter just looked down, wondering why such a random question came in.
"And I mean like…an activity, or something. Running…swimming…archery…etc." Spyro said.
"I would have to say that swimming is one of my favorite things to do." Hunter said, only to hear a small giggle from Sparx. "What about you?"
"I didn't know that cheetahs could swim." Spyro said, keeping his eyes on the ground for some reason. "I like to fly. And I'm dreadfully terrified of bees…"
Hunter laughed at his friend.
"I'm afraid of…spiders…" Hunter said lowly. Sparx and Fuyuko laughed at the poor feline.
"'Oh look, I'm the great cat Hunter and I'm afraid of spiders!'" Sparx mocked, but Hunter only smiled a fake smile and said,
"What are you afraid of?"
"Me? Nothing! I'm invincible!"
"AH! A GIANT GRUBLIN IS RIGHT BEHIND YOU!!" Cynder fake-yelled, only to listen to Sparx screech and flutter into Hunter's light-brown cape. When he realized that he had been tricked, he stuck his head out from the clothing and yelled,
"That's NOT funny!" But everyone in the group only laughed.
With the rocky ground soon turning into grass, then forest, they began to feel relief. Finally, they were actually getting somewhere close to the city on Dragon Mountain, where Hunter may be reunited with someone.
OH MY GOSH THAT WAS PERHAPS THE WORST AND MOST BORING CHAPTER I HAVE EVER DONE. YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO REVIEW ON THIS ONE IT WAS SO BORING.
