Forever and Always

Days have passed, and the dragons now took up residence in Pyre's former house in Warfang. Each kept to their own room, save for Spyro and Cynder, who shared one. Cheetahs came everyday and cleaned the large dwelling, paying they believed was their duty to the saviors of the realms.

Kronos sighed and walked over to the window in his room. The sunlight had been stifled by a layer of gray clouds, the world seemingly depressed like the ice dragon looking upon it. Dreyah…He dropped to his haunches, thoughts whirling. His only love had betrayed the entire dragon race, how could he go on? Possible futures flitted through his mind's eye, visions of what could be. Catching only glimpses of too few, he did not like what he saw. Tears formed in the pits of his soft emerald eyes, a picture of his love appearing in his head. Dreyah…What would be next? Was he destined to kill Spyro? Kronos shook his head before delving back into the future. No, that was not his fate, thank the ancestors. The ice dragon would have killed himself right there if that had been the case.

The time is here again
Prepare to be apart
And it drives you crazy

But his lover was gone, what more was there to live for? Friends, yes, but did Spyro and Cynder really care for him? His best friend and mentor, Cyril, was dead from grief over the loss of the other guardians and Dreyah was gone as well, destroyed by Kronos's own power when she tried to kill Spyro and Cynder. He made his situation what it was, he could have stopped her, he just knew it. What else was there?


Each time I go away
The distance gets longer
But it makes us stronger

Spyro and Cynder lay against each other, still overjoyed at being together once more. Spyro had a family again, and Cynder had her dragon back. Both knew nothing of the trauma their ice dragon friend was going through and neither thought anything of it.


Should it all come crashing
Down around me
Would you be there
Should I stumble and fall
To pick up the pieces

Spyro ran his paw down his love's side, whispering gently to her. "I will always be there for you, no matter what you or I do. Nothing can change that. You are my life."


Wo-ho-oh
Forget about the shit that we've been through

Cynder smiled at her dragon's words. "You saved me from myself so many times, and then I had the chance to save you. We've been through so much together, and we still have our entire lives ahead of us. What are we going to do with it?"


I wanna stay here forever and always
Wo-ho-oh
Standing here in front of all of you
I wanna stay here forever and always

Kronos trudged back to his bed, heart downcast and thoughts grim. Dreyah…His life was meaningless, love now gone and purpose lost. The ice dragon pounded a fist against the cushion in frustration. It had been his destiny to protect her. Why had he failed? She was to be his, forever and always. What had gone wrong? His strength left him as he lay there. His love was gone, so he knew not what to do. She had never let him down, how could he deal with the fact that he did? The dragon's thoughts remained in turmoil

These days are dead again
It's empty from the start
And it drives me crazy

The ice dragon felt his limbs grow cold, the icy chill of death pervading his mind. He knew this was what passing away felt like, he had gleaned it from the glimpses of the future he had. But why was he feeling this now, while he still lived? A hole was in his broken heart, and he did not know how to fill it. Dreyah…Nothing made sense since her death. His head swam with dizziness and he sat quickly to make the nausea pass. The more he thought, the more a single thought began to shine through. Dreyah…Why had she done it? Was it her fault, or was there someone else? Kronos didn't care. She had been his, that was all that mattered, but now she was no more.

The hours drift away
It hurts to remember
This will soon be over

Spyro kissed his beauty softly on her lips, letting the love between them silence all around them. When they pulled apart, Spyro sighed. "We have a family again, let's make it bigger. Little ones to care for, to love. Wouldn't that be incredible?"


Should it all come crashing
Down around me
Would you be there
Should I stumble and fall
To pick up the pieces

"Spyro, when I look at you, all I see is love. All that we've been through, I forget about it and only see what we have together. Little ones or not, we are together." Cynder smiled at the purple dragon.


Wo-ho-oh
Forget about the shit that we've been through
I wanna stay here forever and always
Wo-ho-oh
Standing here in front of all of you
I wanna stay here forever and always

Spyro held his lover's frame closer to his own. "And that will never change. I will love you, Forever and always."


Forever and always
Wo-ho-oh
Wo-ho-oh
Forever and always

Kronos could not live without her. If he did continue his existence, it would be hell to him without his dragoness. His head shot up as he realized, he didn't have to. Dreyah…I'm coming to be with you my love. Using his powers for the last time, Kronos formed an icicle in his hand and held it over his heart, ready to plunge the cold dagger into the thing that caused him so much hurt. His paw shook as he pressed the tip to his scales. Noises sounded from outside his room, but he didn't care. It was probably just a cheetah cleaning the house. No one cared about him anymore. He tensed the muscle that when flexed would end his life and inhaled a deep breath. With his head bowed, he spoke out loud for the first time since Dreyah's death. "Goodbye…
