Chapter 7: Search and rescue

(Flame)

When we got back to my home River wasn't their. At first we thought he was out for a night out. But as it came to morning we found that he still wasn't back. this worried us a little.

So we all ran into the temple to tell the guardians but they already had a problem. "Quickly now. Go put blocks around the city we can't be to careful." Cyril said. He then saw us and had a look of hate.

"What did you bring back with you?" Cyril asked. Nothing was brought with me and Ember but these kids. So I told them. "They don't know what you mean. They came here alone Cyril." I said.

They looked at me. "Flame 6 young dragons have been Taken last night. And two of them aren't in this very room." Terrador said. I looked around and saw that I was with Emily, Sierra, And Kyle. Then it hit me. They took Ember.

"You mean They took Rive and Ember!" I said in anger. I started to leave. "And just where do you think your off to." Cyril said. "To save my friends." I said. I wasn't going to leave them to die for nothing. I was going to find them.

"Stop Flame. You'll only be putting your self in more danger." Terrador said. I looked back. "No I am going. Ember is all I have left and I am all she has. Our families died in the War and we already can't find Spyro and Cynder. I wont loss Ember as well." I said.

I ran out with the other behind me. But I stopped and turned to them. "Guys I know you want to help but I want you to stay here." I said. "No. Who ever took Ember has River as well. WE wont leave either of them to die." Sierra said. "And besides you need us to keep your but alive." Kyle said.

He seamed to have mellowed about his new life. They all seemed to have accepted it. "Fine but I don't take responsibility for what might happen." I said. I run into the forest with the others behind me.

And to be honest I was sorry to have disobeyed the guardians. But I ment what I said. I couldn't lose any more friends. Not after what has happened to us so far. It was then after about a few yards that we found one of the six missing dragons from the city.

"Hey you ok." I said coming next to him. He was a young Fire dragon barley old enough to breath his element yet. "They took me out while I was asleep. When I woke they had set up a camp here and tried to question this other fire dragon they had." He said.

"Do you have any idea where they went." I asked. "Yeah. They went to the mountains a few hours from here." He said starting to cry. "Sierra I need to you take him home. When you do that catch up to us." I said running threw the forest.

(River)

Being dragged across the forest wasn't really my idea of a morning. I had opened my eyes to see my mouth wings and claws bound together. I was a little worried. These people had attacked and kidnapped me while I was asleep and vulnerable.

I was so mad by that I wanted to scream. But my mouth was tied shut. But after a while they stopped and set me down back against the wall. "Remove his mouth restraint. Jim want's to talk to him." The biggest guy said.

I was still in a little shock that their were actually humans in this world. I thought they were completely myth here. But here they were none the less.

But after the big guy said to untie the rope around my mouth, One of the guys did so. "Oh you better hope I never get out of these ropes. Or your all in for a world of hurt." I said trying to act tuff. But then I heard a voice and I almost turned white.

"Just as troublesome as ever I see." as voice said. I turned to see what had shocked me to the point if tears last night. My dad was walking my way. "You have grown since the last I saw you." Jim said.

I call him Jim instead of dad because I never really knew him too long. He disappeared when I was 7 years old. Mom had told me he died in a plane crash. And that was what I believed for 10 years.

"You shouldn't even be alive." I yelled at him. He just looked at me. "I suppose you believed me dead after not showing up for so long." Jim said. I starred at him. "You do remind me so much of your mother." He said placing a hand on my muzzle.

I yanked my head away. "You have no right to talk to me anymore." I growled at him. He back away. "Please River calm down you know who i am right. You Remember me." Jim said.

"Your just another villain to me. You kidnapped me along with 5 other dragons and to what kill us make us slaves." I said. "No I was trying to save you. I don't want you to become a dragon." He said.

"I looked at him then past him to see Ember on the ground. She was badly injured. I could tell that the 4 others were let go a long time ago. "You better hope My friends don't find you. Because if they do your not going to last long." I said.

Then they tied my mouth up again. "Well what do we do now." The guy holding me asked Jim. "We take him back to Mathias. Maybe he can reason with him." Jim said.

I watched as they dropped Ember and walked away. I tried as hard as I could to move free but they had tied me up real good. I had no way of escape.

(Flame)

After we kept finding the young dragons I realized something. They could be setting a trap for us just so they could catch the last 3. I was sure that it was the plan.

"Guy look. If we get ambushed I want you to fight only to get away. They might be after you all." I said. "What makes you say that?" Emily asked. "Because.I don't know any one who would drop a dragon if they have captured them. We are to big of a prize to let free." I said.

This caught their attention. "So if I feel as if for any reason you are all in danger. I want you to turn back and head to War-fang." I said. They shook their heads and we continued on.

After a while we came into a clearing that looked as if a camp was set up here for only a short time. "Look around see if you can." I stopped suddenly. I saw Ember lying on the floor our cold badly injured. "Ember!" I yelled. "Ember please tell me your ok." I said. She opened her eyes and I sighed.

"Hey. Hey Flame." She said very week. "Are you ok Ember they didn't hurt you did they?" I asked desperate. "No. No they didn't. But they took River into the mountain." She said.

I looked at Emily and Kyle. "You both take Emily home. Me and Sierra are going for River." I said trying to sound calm. But in reality I wanted to scream so loud that our ancestors would hear me.

We walked or ran up the side of the mountain for a good bit before we found an entrance. It was a cave that looked as if it was created unnaturally. I looked at Sierra and she shook her head. "Lets go get your friend." I said.

(River)

Having them toss me into some kind of cell was not fun. When I hit the ground I felt a hard thud and pain shot threw my wings. It felt as if I snapped one of them and it was agonizing.

"Are you ok." I heard a Familier voice say. I looked up barley able to see. It was a dark figure that was inside the cell with me. "Yeah I am fine." I said. "You don't seem like it. The figure said.

After it talked a second time I could tell that it was a girl. "Well I am fine. it isn't the first time I was in a position like this." I said. I immediately thought of detention at school.

""Is my wing bent at all." I asked. She looked at my back and shook her head. "Your fine. You just hit the ground hard is all." She said. I sat down in the corner and sighed. "How did I let my self get caught." I said rubbing my arm.

"They get you while you were sleeping." The girls voice said. "Yeah they did. They seemed to know my name thou." I said. She looked at me with curiosity. "And may I ask what it is." She asked.

"Yeah my name's River." I said with a smile. "Nice to meet you." She said. "The pleasure is mine." I said. "So do you mind telling me yours." I asked. She then looked at the ground. I could see a tear hit the ground.

"You would run from me if you knew it." She said. I just sighed. "Your starting to sound like Cynder. She thought that every one had a grudge against her for being the terror of the skies." I said.

She then looked at me with shock. "Who are you really?" She asked. I just looked down. "I am River. Like I said." I said. She then came out into the light and I just stopped breathing.

"My name's Cynder but I guess you already knew that." She said. I was surprised. Me and my friends where brought here to look for Spyro and Cynder and here Cynder was a prisoner of my dad's sick and twisted little game.

But before I could say anything the people came back and dragged me into the other room. Were I was thrown in front of a person who looked like he needed a hair cut an bad.

"So your Jim's little boy." He said. "No I am not. And I will never be." I said. I was struggling to get out of the roped. "Oh don't try it boy it want happen. These roes can't be broken by Dragons." He said. "Well you better hope so." I said. "HAHA He has your courage Jim." He said. "Yes he does Mathias." Jim said.

"Look I don't care what your after but I wont give it to you." I said. "Oh but you already did. With you on our side we can finally take this realm." Mathias said. I looked at him in shock. "Like I would ever help you." I said. He then looked at me angrily. "Listen boy. If I say your going to help then your going to help got it." Mathias said.

"And we say he wont." A voice said. Then the doors explode as Sierra and Flame come threw. "If I had known your kind was in our world I would have hunted you down before going for help." Flame said. Sierra came and untied me. 3 people came at us but she froze them solid. "You stay off my twin." She growled.

I looked at them in anger. "Next time your going to regret taking me." I said. We then ran out but I turned to the cells. "River what are you doing." Flame said. "They have Cynder!" I yelled. And with that he was immediately next to me panting.

AS we reached the cells I saw Cynder on the ground. "Cynder get up." I said. She shot up seeing me Sierra and Flame. "CYNDER!" Flame said. We both ran up and head butted the cage door open.

"Cynder is that really your." Flame said. She just smiled a little. "Nice to see you too Flame." She said. "Come on we can talk later we need to go." I said. We then ran into the passage way.

I turned and looked up at the ceiling. I may not have had practice but I had to try and blow a fire ball to collapse the ceiling. I took a deep breath and tried to let the energy build up. I could feel it forming.

When I thought I held it long enough I let it sail to the ceiling. It hit with and Explosion. And I started to run to the others. But I made it only to find them waiting for me half way threw.

"What are you guys doing still here!" I said. They looked at me. "What is wrong with waiting for you." Sierra asked. They all then saw the collapsing cave behind me and started running.

I Ran along side them to the entrance. But Saw that a huge rock was closing the passage. I ran fast to hold it up with my body. "Hurry guys I can't hold this long." I said.

(Flame)

I was shocked that River was able to hold it. It seemed like he couldn't hold it for long thou. "Come on guys lets hurry." I said. We ran as fast as we could.

I made it out first then Sierra. But Cynder didn't come. I could hear her talking to River. "Go I can hold it while you go." Cynder said. "No I got it. Just go I am right behind you." River said.

She then came out. But I could hear the collapse approaching. "Come on River hurry." I yelled. I could see him inching his way to us. But then the boulder shuddered. I looked at him quickly. His eyes were wide.

"Take care of Sierra for me." He said. "River come on. We don't have time for jokes." I said. I tried crawling under to grab him but before I could get fully under Cynder Pulled me out fast as the rock smashed on the ground with him under it.

"RIVER!" Sierra screamed trying to lift the boulder. She was crying desperately trying to lift the rock. I walked away a little. I was at the edge when I saw the Guardians land in front of me.

Emily and Kyle jumped off their back and ran up to me. "Where is every one?" Emily asked. I looked up with tears coming down. "River found cynder. He lead us to save her and we ran. But the cave started to collapse. he tried to hold that boulder at the cave entrance for us. We got out in time. But he didn't" I said.

Emily and Kyle ran over to see for them selves. The Guardians looked at me. "Did you truly find Cynder." Terrador said. I turned around and walked back with the guardians following.

When we got to the collapsed cave the saw her. "Cynder." Volteer said. She turned and saw them and came running happy. "Thank heavens your safe." Terrador said. But they all looked at the 3 kids that were left. Sierra crying. "I am sorry Sierra I truly am." Cyril said.

"He was a very brave child indeed." Terrador said. We all were silent for a moment. But then we heard a cracking sound. We looked to see Kyle place his hand on he boulder and it began cracking.

As it spread all over it eventually fell down. We all started in shock. But not at what Kyle did. But River was their laying on the ground with his wing around him as a shield.

"RIVER!" Sierra said. He slowly moved his head up and opened his eyes. He got up and walked our way. Before he could do or say anything he collapsed. But Terrador caught him. "We need to treat his wounds. We must hurry back to the temple." Terrador said.

He then set river on his back and the other climbed onto the guardians as well as me and Cynder. I was to tired to even fly at this point. They then took off and headed for the temple.
