Spyro hadn't seen Cynder that much since that morning for the past three days. He had seen her in the great hall and out on the grounds but every time he tried to get close she either turned the other way or took off. Sparx wasn't being any help to him at all either, all he done was watch and snigger at Spyro's failed attempts to talk to Cynder.
" You could go see her in her room and try and squeeze an answer from her y'know Sparky." Said Spyro irritated by the dragonfly's ill attempts to lend help. They were walking through the countless streets and alleyways of Warfang heading back to the temple where his room was.
" HEY! Don't call me that, and besides, aside from the obvious I think she likes you." Sparx said trying not to mention love at all costs. Spyro tripped a little and quickly composed himself. So if she liked him then that could be a step to love Spyro contemplated. He loved her but he wasn't sure of her intentions for him. Spyro turned to Sparx a small twitch of a smile appearing.
" You think she does." He said in a low voice.
" Well you are talking to the guru of chicks and I reckon she might but I'm not sure if I'm honest." Spyro nodded and looked back at the ground as they entered the main doors of the temple. It was early afternoon and they both had come back from a flight around the city. Spyro felt the need to patrol the walls after sheer depravation of having no one attack or ready to kill him.
" Go ask her if its annoying you…..Your not scared are, big purple dragon like you." Spyro's head snapped to Sparx with a challenge accepted look about him.
" Yea right. I just….just need to prepare a conversation that's all." Sparx laughed. They got into the dragons room and there was a new mirror against the wall.
Spyro came up and jumped onto his hind legs and spun sideways to examine his on stomach.
" Hope I'm not getting fat." said Spyro.
" Well it's a well known fact that you've always been a fat dragon." Sparx balled as he fell laughing.
" That's not true." Came a voice from the balcony. He span round and landed on his front legs to see Cynder slowly walking through the purple curtains. The warm feeling came back as Cynder walked in.
" Your actually quite masculine if I do say so myself." Spyro blushed red and looked down.
" Thanks" He said embarrassed. The Dragoness looked at Spyro and thought he was the best thing she never had. But she was determined to change that.
" C'mon, Terrador wants us in the guardians chamber now. He emphasised the now part so we should hurry."
" Finally something's happening." Spyro groaned as he hopped to the door and turned to Cynder. " Ladies first." He said blushing again at Cynder who had also turned a little red.
" Young love…..Wait I'm young." Sparx muttered to himself. " So, I'm one to talk." He laughed. All three of them walked to the guardian chambers Which was at the heart of the temple.
" What d'you think it is?" Said Sparx.
" I don't know. Maybe its nothing even bad. Could be just a meeting or something." Spyro said starting to sulk a little. They had come to the last corridor before the chamber and heard talking. Only Cyril and Volteer were heard bickering against each other over training methods before they heard Terradors booming voice silence them.
" THAT'S ENOUGH. Iv heard nothing but you two all of today. If you want to argue then go forth but outside these walls." He bellowed. The door creaked as the three entered. The three large dragons peered at them as they came and sat round the large table.
" Afternoon young ones." Cyril said. " Good to see you making your first meeting on time and well awake." He said turning at the last word to Volteer who's eyes were drowsy.
" Lets begin." Terrador announced. " First we need asses the condition of the west side of the city. There have been more and more conflicts with the moles and the dragons there-"
" Perhaps a relocation of the moles to a different side of the city?" Said Cyril. Terrador thought it over for a moment.
" No we cant move the moles. I bid we put down a forth coming law stating that ' Any dragon caught conflicting with the moles will be shown no remorse in punishment'. The moles have been most kind to us in rebuilding our great city and now catering for us. I bid this law to come forth." Terrador raised his hand as Cyril and Volteer both raised there hands.
" Agreed." They both said.
" Now, next issue. As we know there the need for a new age of guardians to…replace us after we leave this world. And I speak of the present!" Terrador said as a large red dragon came into the chamber followed by a younger one roughly Spyro's and Cynder's age.
" Demeus. Its been eons. Its good to see you." The large dragon patted Terrador on the shoulder.
" As I you Terry." The red dragon said in a low voice nearly as low as Terradors. He was the same height as Terrador and Cyril but taller than Volteer. He had large red talons and a flame shaped spear on the end of his tale.
" I see you brought him then." Said Terrador pleased at the presence of the younger one. " And your name is little fire dragon." The fire dragon took in the massive earth dragon and puffed his chest out.
" Serneus sir." He chirped stood tall. His voice was a little higher then Spyro's Which suggested him being younger. Spyro and Cynder were happy to see new dragons coming to the city. The fire dragon caught sight of Spyro and Cynder and felt better knowing he wasn't the only one his age there.
" He looks like he could be useful." Spyro whispered to Cynder. But when Cynder didn't answer Spyro quickly turned hopping she didn't hear him but he was wrong. Cynder was straining her eyes at Serneus. She didn't find him attractive but there was something off about him she couldn't put a talon on. Serneus on the other hand was looking directly at Spyro ogling at the Purple dragon of the legends. He glanced at his grandfather and trotted to their spot.
" Hey. I'm Serneus but call me Flame. Serneus is for formal occasions." He said quite shyly.
" Ah that's it." Cynder said quite loudly. " You're an elemental dragon and its, fire right." Flame nodded with a smile on his face but Spyro's smile was whipped of when he seen Cynder's smile looking at Flame.
" Now!" Terradors voice bellowed braking the silence. " This mole just informed my that our newest candidate for the guardian program has arrived. In-fact that's them coming forth now." He said looking through the door left open by Demeus. A large aqua coloured dragon was entering the chamber.
" Alicia. So glad you could come." The large dragon bowed to Terrador.
" The pleasures all mine." She stood back up and birrled round. Spyro and Flame watched with intent as another dragon came round the corner.
" This is my daughter Ember." The pink dragoness came through the door looking extremely confident. She caught sight of Spyro and fluttered her eyes at him. Cynder looked between the two, rage building for the dragoness.
" I know who this is." She said as she walked past letting her tail rub Spyro's chin. Spyro turned a bright red and Cynder began to tremble with anger. She never thought another dragoness would joining and knowing Spyro has only met one which was her. What if he wanted to explore the possibility's. She hung her head not wanting anyone to see the pain she was in.
" Now this is our other hopeful for the guardian spot." Terrador announced. Spyro cocked a head watching the way Flame was almost drooling over the pink dragoness. Never mind Cynder, Flame thought the pink dragoness was the most beautiful dragon he had ever laid eyes on. Cynder noted that and felt some relief but that was washed away when Ember winked at Spyro from across the table. Spyro flushed red again and turned away. Cynder wasn't paying attention to what the older dragons where saying now but was staring down Ember. Ember caught Cynder's eyes and they both where locked in a stare down. Then at the same time their heads both whipped round to Spyro who gushed more red looking at them both.
" And that concluded this meeting." Terrador glanced at the young dragons. He clocked both Cynder and Ember locked onto Spyro and chuckled. Spyro, having no other way jumped of his pedestal and made for the door only to be stopped by flame.
" Is it true you both took down a g..golem." He stuttered. He had done it. He had prevented his escape and now Ember and Cynder where homing in on him.
" So Spyro. You looking for anyone, oh I mean anything." Ember said shaking her body from left to right. Spyro didn't feel very comfortable in this position and tried to back out only to be stopped by Flame. Cynder who had managed to get passed stomped away furious and Spyro whipped round to try and push past Flame to get to her but she was gone. Cynder flung each paw at the floor as she climbed her spiral stair case.
" Ah, my god. Stupid BITCH she is. By our ancestors." She spat flinging herself into her room slamming the door shut.
" She cant steel him. Urgh her face. Swinging her body side to side like a little dragoness pleasure worker." She grunted again walking around in circles.
" That absolute, complete and utter." The black dragoness didn't finish. She belted a large stream of fire into the fire place which bellowed out the top and could be seen across the entire city.
" No. Its now or never." She said firmly and launched herself out the window beating her wings and turning to Spyro's room. She couldn't see him anywhere in his room from the outside and the she came to a crashing halt on the balcony. She peered in but nobody was there. She wondered if he was with Ember. She slowly walked in remembering the last time she was here. She walked to the bed and laid on it wondering what if. She smelled Spyro's scent and was imagining herself lying here inside his arms. She sighed. She was seventeen and had not had any dragon-friend yet. She let her mind wander again.
" No thanks I just need some alone time." Spyro said backing up the last corridor from Ember.
" You know you want to take a walk with me." She said and let her tail rub Spyro's leg.
" That evil moronic COW!" Cynder shouted. But her shout was drowned by Spyro tripping as he was forced backward by Ember trying to get close. Cynder had her eyes locked on the wall where just on the other side the corridor rounded until the door where Spyro and Ember where. She then looked at herself and thought what would she look like laying on his bed. She jumped up and dashed out the window as the door opened.
" I..I really don't need your help right now but thanks." Spyro said and slammed the door.
" Gees, Cant get worse than-" he stopped. The curtains which were originally drawn closed were open. He quickly glanced around and seeing nothing walked out on the balcony but yet again seeing nothing and returned inside. Cynder sighed in relief as she let go from the ledge just bellow the balcony and flew back to her room.
" Weird." Spyro said to himself. He lay on the bed and looked up at the ceiling. He was thinking of ways to through off Ember because who he really liked was Cynder.
" Come to think of it." He muttered and turned around and looked at his pillow. " Smells like Cynder." Spyro lay back down and took the top pillow and hugged it while smiling.
" Your not gonna catch me." Cynder squealed as she ran across the grass from the purple dragon. They were in the green lands just outside the city and they were alit in the most beautiful of ways.
" Ho, you think." Spyro muttered and silently lifted into the air and climbed above the low lying clouds. Cynder glanced behind her and didn't see him. She stopped gouging out some mud in the process. She new he wouldn't just give up like that.
" Were are you then Spy." She said to herself scanning the lands. She hadn't noticed but Spyro had began to drop from the sky and aimed straight for the dragoness. " Where is he, hmm." Cynder said aloud again. Spyro got within range and let out a bellowing laugh. Cynder squealed and tried to side jump him but missed and Spyro landed on her and grabbed her with his front paws. They rolled for a couple of seconds before coming to a halt with spyro having his hands locked on Cynder and smiling at her.
" Gotcha." Spyro winked. Cynder put her hand up onto Spyro's cheek and smiled at him.
" You caught me." She laughed quietly. Spyro started to get off her when she held him down and giggled. " your not going anywhere Spy." Spyro found her eyes as Cynder his and they both locked in a romantic stair.
" Cynder." said Spyro coming to the relisation this might be the best chance to tell her he loves her. He gulped and Cynder put both paws on him and made him look at her.
" Anything. Just say it." She whispered softly and smiled while allowing one of her paws to trace Spyro's skin down to one of his spikes and she started to fiddle with it. Spyro blushed as he leaned closer.
" Cynder I…..I…L-L." Spyro gulped again and Cynder had tears in her eyes. He leaned closer until they both where snout to snout. " I love you Cy-" Spyro was silenced by Cynder's lips on his. He felt wonderfull. He felt nothing could spoil this moment. This was the best time in Spyro's life. They kissed passionately for several moments before Spyro pulled up his head. He looked down at the dragoness who was smiling softly with some tears in her eyes. Spyro himself had tears beginning to creap over his eyes lips. Cynder opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out. She stopped frozen in a mid word state.
" Cynder..Cynder what-" But he was cut off when Cynder spoke in a different voice.
" Hey buddy I'm hungry so could ya get off your fat purple butt and make a move." Spyro shook his head and looked at around to make sure it was Cynder speaking.
" C'mon man I need my food." Suddenly he felt a sharp pain on his eyebrow and clapped a hand to it.
" What, What's happening." but before he new it his eyes opened and he was on the floor in his bedroom with Sparx hitting him.
