The Legend of Spyro

The Undying Flame

Chapter 4

The Journey Begins

The sunrise had finally come, the day that Spyro and Cynder's quest to put an end to Maleforen started. Everyone was waiting for the two heroes to finally walk to the main gates and be farewelled by everyone they met. In fact, Terrador, Volteer, Cyril, and Ignitus were already waiting for them to finally show up. After two hours, the two showed, and were ready for their journey.

"Be forewarned you two, on this journey, there is no turning back, do you understand?" Ignitus asked the two.

"We understand," Spyro and Cynder both said at once. Both dragons knew of the hardships during this, but were ready to fight for those whom they cared about.

"Very well then, you two watch after one another, and may the ancestors guide you home after this is over," Ignitus said to the two as they walked out of the city of Warfang, and into the world they were very familiar with: lustrous green grass that felt smooth to the touch, teeming wildlife, and lush trees that might've beared fruit if they were fruit trees. After walking in the constant wildlife, they took flight and headed eastbound, when something small, and yellow started to follow them.

"Hey! Wait up," Sparx called out to them as the two dragons took flight.

"Sparx! We waited for you, but you never got up," Spyro called out. Cynder suddenly looked behind Spyro, and saw a massive hand come out of the ground, reaching for Spyro!

"Behind you!" Cynder screamed as she dodged out of the way, knowing that she could've been the second one that would've been grabbed. Spyro immediately looked behind him, and saw the huge hand, Spyro saw his opportunity to evade, and before it could get him, he dodged.

"You alright over there?" Cynder asked.

"Yeah, but I nearly saw my life flash before my eyes!" Spyro answered back. The three suddenly looked down, and saw that the enemy was none other than a massive golem that they had faced back in Warfang many months back.

"I thought this thing was dead!" Spyro called out to Cynder and Sparx, who couldn't believe that the giant Earth Golem was back and ready to take its revenge on Spyro and Cynder. The two kept dodging and evading, knowing that they were too close to Warfang to do anything, they couldn't attack it, they couldn't run back, all they could do is run it away from Warfang, and into the river that the two created by breaking the dam back those months ago. They started flying away, towards the river, causing the Golem to chase after them, and without warning, the Golem grabbed the both of them, and started squeezing them. The massive pain was too much for them to handle, and were about to give up, until the same strength cam back to them as they unleashed their Phoenix Fury. Using their new strength, Spyro and Cynder immediately took off one of the Golem's arms, and quickly evaporated it into nothing. The Golem disappeared, and hoping that was the last they would see of the Golem, they headed onward, southbound.
