6. Part 6

Part 6

Later that day, the female dragons started nearly half of up the temple, obviously without the needed asisstance of the boys. Flame, Grayson, Coltrane, Halvor, and Bruce were busy trying to relax in the sun, but at the thought of the Death Hound caused to Flame to sit up and look around cautiously for any signs of the carnivore. Grayson noticed Flame's sudden reaction and asked out of curiousity, "What's up with you, Flame?"

"Just trying to stay cautious." Flame answered, looking about the rolling hills around the temple, "Somebody's got to...you know, there's a dangerous..."

Coltrane interrupted calmly and happily, "Yes. But apart from that, I'm really starting to enjoy it here."

"Once Ember and the other girls finish cleaning the temple, I'll enjoy it even more." Grayson remarked calmly, looking to the glimpses forms of Ember, Ami, Rikki, and Ruby cleaning off the dust from around the temple's entrance.

Ember emerged from the temple's doors by the words of Grayson's remark, glaring at the young Peace Keeper as she retorted defensively, "Things would go a lot faster if everybody helped! I'd enjoy that!" She lowered her head and softened her tone sadly, "I really would..."

Spyro spoke out, "Look, there's a Death Hound about, and the sooner we get everyone in the temple, the better."

"You want to clean like a girl, that's fine." Grayson responded calmly to Spyro, "But we got our pride."

Spyro retorted sharply, "Your pride is getting annoying. I think all of you better start cleaning."

"Oh really?" Flame questioned angrily, walking up to Spyro, also not wanting to do cleaning, which is a girl's job.

The purple dragon growled, "You heard me!"

"And who's going to make me?!" Flame snarled savagely, his wings suddenly flared open.

Spyro opened his wings and flared them also, growling, "Fine. If I win this fight, you, Coltrane, Halvor, bruce, and Grayson help Ember and the girls with the cleaning."

"And if Flame wins??" Coltrane chimed in, walking up and standing beside Flame with a smile in support.

Spyro looked at Coltrane for a moment before he responded, "If he wins, then you guys can relax for the rest of your lives."

"Deal. But you should know Spyro, I never lost a fight." Flame smirked smugly, almost sneering at Spyro.

Spyro nodded, "Yeah, I know..." The purple dragon glanced back with little worry, knowing that he and Flame never finish their fights in the past, and most of them always ends up in ties...
