Disclaimer: I do not own Spyro or related characters. I don't own Draganta either. I own Rosie. Well... I OWNED Rosie... Stupid Night! That's it! I'm confiscating your wand! ( Takes her wand and breaks it )
Night: You broke my wand!
Me: Oh shut up. It was probably a knock off anyway...

Chap.11: The Melody

Rosie felt so cold and limp in Draganta's hands as he carried her back to the Dragon Temple. "Did you find the girl?" Ignitus asked when the two had made it back. Draganta and Spyro were both quiet, unsure what to say. "We did find Rosie, Ignitus... It's just..." Spyro couldn't finish his sentence, so Draganta just showed Ignitus Rosie's dead body. "Night had gotten to her first..." Draganta finished softly. "But don't worry, I know exactly what to do." Everyone looked at him in shock, but Draganta didn't have time to explain. He went into the next room, and Spyro followed, curious in what Draganta had in mind.

"Draganta, where are you going?" Spyro asked, as they both walked down a long down staircase. They appeared in a new room, in which Spyro never knew about. Inside the room there was shelves with bottles and potions, a cage that held doxies, a big book that layed open on a stand, and a long cusioned table that stood in the middle of the room. Spyro watched as Draganta carefully layed Rosie on the table and put a small pillow under her head. "Spyro, there is still hope for Rosie. By using the power Healing Energy, there might be a chance Rosie might come back to life." Draganta told Spyro, though he wasn't sure, he had never revived anyone using Healing Power before. But if Draganta didn't try something, they might just lose Rosie forever...

Spyro had been waiting for about an hour now outside the Dragon Temple, and he has not heard from Draganta yet. He feared that maybe Rosie didn't make it, but Spyro tried his best to keep that thought out of his head. "Rosie isn't going to die." He reassured himself, though it was hard holding back tears. Spyro knew that if Rosie didn't make it, he would just have to accept that, no matter how hard it is to let go. He remembered her last words 'I'll never forget you.' Suddenly, Spyro heard distant music in the distance. He ran around the left of the Dragon Temple and saw someone sitting on a rock playing some sort of instrument. She looked a lot like Night, black cat and everything, only she wore a purple hooded cape. Spyro looked more closely to the intrument she had near her lips and saw it was none other than a flute!

"Sometimes when the world can be cruel, I just sit down and play my flute." The cat girl said, as she played a simple tune. She stopped playing then smiled at Spyro. "Don't worry, your friend's going to be fine!" Then she continued playing. Spyro was surprised. "How do you kn"
"I know a lot of things." The cat girl inturrupted. "For instance, I know the sun will rise tomarrow and it will be another beautiful day. So I would probably know if you believe and have faith in something strongly, then anything can happen!" She played another song, a sad tune, but slowly formed into a happy melody.

For a second there, Spyro thought he saw big feathered angel wings on the girl's shoulder blades. But when he blinked to see if what he was seeing was really there, her wings were back to their original state as bat wings. "Remember..." The cat girl started, "love can overcome anything..." She smiled, "even death..." She slowly vanished, but her music was still flowing in the air... Spyro went back to the room to see Draganta's progress. "Well, I done all that I can do. I gave about almost all of my power to do Healing Energy, I just hope it's enough to revive Rosie. " Draganta said, after he finished wrapping bandages around Rosie's head, wing, and chest where she had gotten injured. "We'll just have to be patient, Spyro..." As he left the room, Spyro decided to stay with Rosie.

A/N: This song is really sad. I would like to thank GMean, my cousin, for showing me this song. "I Will Follow You Into The Dark."

Love of mine, someday you will die,
But I'll be close behind.
I'll follow you into the dark...

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white.
Just our hands clasped so tight.
Waiting for the hint of a spark.

[Chorus
If heaven and hell decide,
That they both are satisfied.
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs.

If there's no one beside you,
When your soul embarks,
Then I'll follow you into the dark...

[End of Chorus:

Spyro entwined his claws with Rosie's and held her paw tight, hoping that she will make it. All he wanted was to see Rosie smile again, though he wasn't getting much from the look on Rosie's face... Outside Spyro can still hear the cat girl's sweet melody, and it gave him some faith. Another hour went by, and Spyro had fallen asleep with his head on the table, still holding Rosie's paw. Draganta returned back to the room, careful not to wake Spyro, and was very disappointed to see that Rosie had not made it...

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule.
I got my knuckles brusied by a lady in black.
And I held my toungue as she told me,
"Son, fear is the heart of love."
So I never went back...

[Back to Chorus:

You and me have seen everything to see,
From Bangcock to Calgary.
And the soles of your shoes,
Are all worn down.
The time for sleep is now.
It's nothing to cry about,
Cause we'll hold each other soon,
The blackest of rooms...

[Back to Chorus:

Then I'll follow you into the dark...

While Spyro was still asleep, he had a horrible nightmare. A dream that seemed too real...

Spyro's Nightmare:

"Bow down before your new Queen!" Yelled Night in triumph. All the magical creatures of course and no choice but to do what she says. Spyro looked around and saw that everything was different. The skies were pitch black and all the trees were no longer lushious green, but dead and bare. Everyone looked miserable! Spyro didn't know what had happened, but remembered that Rosie had died! Which means Night is Queen! The whole world's in chaos! And he's going to marry Night's daughter!!! ( Ember comes out of no where and slaps Spyro )

Spyro ran to the Dragon Temple to see if Draganta and Ignitus were still around. He was frightened to see that the temple was completely torn down! Everything was distroyed! But where was Ignitus and Draganta?! Spyro's question was answered when the scene shifted to a war. "Give up, Night! You'll never win!!" Draganta yelled as his army prepared to attack. Night laughed. "Don't be so sure! ATTACK!" She yelled back. The two armies charged at each other and it was bloody war. Spyro watched as Draganta ran straight for Night and took out his sword, while Night took out her wand. Spyro covered his eyes, not wanting to see what was going to happen next. "How did this happen?" Spyro silently said. He felt a hand of his shoulder and he turned around to see it was only Ignitus. "When Night became Queen, Draganta couldn't stand the way she treated her people." Ignitus said. "Draganta then went to war against her, fighting to restore peace back to our planet." Spyro didn't know what exactly to say, he never expected this to happen.

"Ooohhhh, Spyroooo!" Someone called. It was Night's ten year old daughter, Victoria. "We have to hurry, if we want the wedding to go perfect!!" She squealed. Spyro looked down and saw he was wearing a tuxedo. "Wedding?! But I can't marry you!!"
"Oh, of course you can, silly! Remember, the only way I can control over the Dragon Realms too is if you marry me." Victoria said. "It's in the contract." Spyro snatched the contract away from her and read over it. Yep, in bold letters it said that Spyro was to marry Victoria whenever Victoria wants to have the wedding. Darn... Thought Spyro. When he looked up from the contract, he saw that Victoria was in a white dress!! ( Wedding music in background ) Spyro just stared in shock. "I'm going to get some air..." Then he ran off.

The whole world seemed to be dying every minute, because of Night. Charactoria was no longer a peaceful place anymore, but a living hell full of sadness and fear. Such a horror. Spyro thought sadly. How can one person bring so much misery...?

End of Spyro's nightmare:

Suddenly, Spyro felt pressure on his paw. He opened his eyes to see that Rosie had been squeezing his paw. And pretty hard, too for that matter...! Rosie was breathing!! She slowly opened her eyes and inhaled a deep heap of air. "Spy..." She silently said as she sat up. "Spyro!" Rosie cried out happily. "Rosie! You're alive!!" Spyro cried out as well, and they both hugged each other tightly, and Rosie began crying. "I'm not interrupting anything, am I...?" Asked Draganta when he entered the room. When Rosie and Spyro finally realized WHAT they were doing, they quickly pushed each other away. Dragonta was wide-eyed. "Rosie! You're alive! But how?!" Rosie shrugged, because she was just as clueless as he was. Spyro, on the other hand, was smiling, because he knew exactly how... 'love can overcome anything... even death...'

After telling Ignitus the good news, Rosie was outside laying on the grass. Something was disturbing her, but she didn't know what. "Draganta, why did you come back for me? I told you guys I thought it would be better if I wasn't around!" Rosie said, when she noticed Draganta was coming torwards her. He sat right next to her, and answered, "There are two reasons why Spyro and I came back for you: First, if Night kills you, then we would be in real trouble. Second, your our friend, and we don't want anything to happen to you. Now tell me, what's really bothering you?" Rosie got up and walked about seven feet away from him.

Draganta sighed. I saved her life twice, I tried reviving her, and not to mention defended for her from Tomas. And still she doesn't trust me. He thought. "Wait, I got it!" Draganta said to himself. Couple of minutes later, he walked torwards Rosie again. This time with a little gift... Rosie was amazed in what Draganta had in his claws. "It's- it's my photo!! But how did you restore it?! Night burned it remember!" She squealed, as she took the photo. This was the most nicest thing anybody has ever done for her! Draganta smiled. "Powers... I have em'! You miss your mom, huh?" Asked Draganta, but Rosie didn't say anything. "Well, I know how you feel." Rosie gave him a confused look. "You see, my foster parents were killed while I watched in horror when I was four years old. That's when I met a family of dragons and they took me in."

"Rosie, I know what you are going through." Draganta continued. "I also had to put up with that old wound Tomas, because I'm also an outsider. I come from this place called Weijen, Grand Cathay. I then learned how to fight with magic and a sword, as well as with a bow. Then at age seventeen, I became King. I became who I am now, because I never gave up. Now people respect me." He laughed. "Even Tomas... Rosie, if you have a bit more faith in yourself and train hard enough, then maybe you can get respect as well. Understand Rosie?"
Rosie nodded slowly. "Yeah, I understand. Thanks Draganta, that made me feel a bit better." She got up and decided to go back inside. But before Rosie did, she stopped suddenly. "Do you hear... a flute...?"

A/N: I AM SO TIRED!! I'm proud of myself, though!!!!! Please review, but no flames! Also, I bet you're kinda wondering if Rosie likes Spyro. Well, I'll tell you! The truth is that she- ( Static )
Rosie: Woopsie me! Did I do that? Well, like it matters!
