A Celebration

Before I start this chapter, I want to say now that most of the next chapters will be filler with short fights. Sorry, but I won't introduce the threat until a later chapter. Anyway here it is. Also, sorry for being late, but it shouldn't be like this forever… I hope.

Asyree's POV

I woke up, at what I guessed what was two hours after noon. I remembered what Volteer told me, that I alone would need to train the lightning in the Light form since I have no experience with lightning to begin with. Luckily that will be tomorrow, as today, I will be moving in with Alia. Speaking of which….

"Good afternoon, Asyree! Ready to be alone again?" She says, smiling.

"Yeah, cool, it'll be fun." I say, still getting used to her flirting.

"Alright, well, today's my birthday and all, so have you got something for me?"

"Before I answer, is it birthday or hatchday? It's really confusing."

"Either or." She replies

"Okay, so about the present…."

Damn. Damn. Damn. Damn. Damn. Damn. DAMN!

"Ummm, uh you see what happened was….

I immediately teleport to get out of that situation.

Bet you wished you could teleport out of stuff like that huh?

Back to story.

"I hope she's not too mad at me." I say, deciding I should look at the shops around the central. I saw not much stuff was open, since they were either destroyed or , other than the long line for the… uh… what is that place again?

I read the sign above the long, long line. The Spa

"That place is probably boring as hell" I say.

"Tell me about it." A voice says.

I turn around to see Spyro, with a golden glowing dragonfly.

"This is the guy I wanted you meet, Sparx." Spyro says.

"Hey, uh Sparx, my name's Asyree."

"Nice to meet you, so I see we all have the same opinion about the Spa" Sparx assumes.

"I teleported there yesterday on accident, just wanting to see Cynder. I hated the place in seconds" Spyro says.

"I only know about it because my wife bugged me about it, and she dragged me in there and kept me there for hours.

"HA, I don't have to go in there." I say, laughing manically.

"Oh there you are, Asyree."

Alia, along with Cynder, flew down to us. I suppress a few curses.

"I see you haven't got a gift yet, well can I make a request?" Alia asks, with Cynder smirking.

"Oh no."

"You see the Spa over there?"

"Oh no."

"There's a new exclusive section, that's couples only."

"Please don't" I beg.

"Please do" Cynder, Spyro and Sparx say

"Can we go there at sunset?" Alia asks.

"I would Alia, but…

I punched the ground below us really hard, cracking it for twenty feet around us.

"…you see I got to fix this right here. And here. And there."

"Oh you're going, sir. Could everyone fly up around ten feet please?"

We all do so, curious to see what she'd do.

Once we were safely up, she used some variation of her fire breath that, filled all the cracksI made. She even filled the small crater.

To make it worse, Spyro used his Ice breath lightly, and cooled the new ground.

"What the hell? You so owe me one" I glare at Spyro, who found a sudden interest at his purple scales.

"He and I are going too, Asyree, so don't feel too bad." Cynder declares, much to Spyro's chagrin.

"I have my revenge now. Okay so we should split up and help with the citywide rebuilding."

"Cool, but I'm going back home guys. See you later, Asyree."

We all left. I traveled to the north side to help rebuild the buildings I destroyed.

Since I was a dragon, I helped carry heavy objects like building supports for the internal structure and such. Since I could also fly, I could bring furniture like wool blankets, pillows, and shelves for books and such.

I realized that Volteer was right though. We only finished a section of one building and filled about two rooms. It would take months, even years to repair. I guess I should help out until all damage was fixed.

Oh well.

I realized sunset was nearing, and I groaned.

"Better get there quickly" I say and fly in its direction.

I should teleport, but I'm not for two reasons. Its lazy, and I want to kind of delay getting there a little bit. I'll still get there on time, but I enjoy flying during sunset, and tonight was no exception.

I make it there with everyone waiting.

"What took you so long?" Alia smirked.

"The anticipation of this…event…"

"Let's just get this over with" Spyro says with Cynder leaning on him. We all enter the building.

….

Two hours. TWO HOURS. All we did for the past TWO HOURS was…actually relaxing. First we all got to lie in a giant mud bath, like what I heard. Sure, one of us cut the cheese in it, and everyone left, but for the time, it was nice. Next, there were these things where they kind of chopped at your back and stuff,which was difficult for them since we're dragons with those spine things on our back. They called it a massage or something. Still, that was amazing. Now, in the last few minutes, we were all quietly eating dinner: Sheep, your choice of raw or breath heated, with a side of fruits.

We all ate outside, on the grass, in the moonlight. Sadly, me and Alia left early to the cave she owns.

…..

We flew about half a mile outside the city, with its lights glowing in the distance. Alia's cave was nearby a lake, like mine. Except the lake was small and a river flowed into it. It was lined with beautiful tall trees, flowers of many kinds with them. Her cave wasn't too large, it could fit 4 adult dragons, though it was only us.

What's she thinking?

Anyway there was a bookshelf with little books, thanks to my best pal Val. There was a raised rock which I guessed you'd sleep on. Overall, I loved the place, more than my old home.

"Do you like it?" Alia said, snapping me out of my thinking.

"It's awesome" I say

"Thanks, my uncle suggested it, since it isn't far from the city."

"Speaking of Alio, where is he? I haven't seen him at all since our first night at the temple."

"He left later that night, he said he'd see us later at the festival" she replies.

"A festival?" I ask.

"There will be a huge festival soon, celebrating Spyro and Cynder. It's their first one and they promised it yearly. It was delayed another month though after that attempted invasion from Liatus."

"Nice, honoring the heroes" I say.

"You're a hero too you know."

"Yeah, but I saved a city. Spyro and Cynder saved a whole planet. Besides, no one other than you guys really saw me."

"Okay you're right." She says.

She sits down and I follow suit. She shifts uncomfortably, looking ready to ask me something.

"Something else happens next month" she says.

"What is it?"

"Mating season. You know….when all females of age become-"

"Uh oh, and you're asking me?"

"I want to raise a dragon of our own."

Her words echoed in my head.

Raise a dragon. Of our own.

I started to sweat.

"Offspring? I don't know…."

"Why not? We'd be great parents."

"I know nothing about raising dragons. There is also the prophecy, and the fact that me and Spyro will face enemies stronger than Malefore and Liatus, who by the way, wasn't the dragon that proved a challenge to the Light form." I say, sweating more.

"I know, and I can handle a child alone."

She was winning this quiet argument. I realized she was getting closer to me by the second.

"We'll see, but no promises okay? I don't want to lose either of you if we go through with this" I decided.

She smiles and gets on the raised rock. She grabbed I wool pillow I never saw and rest her head on it.

"Sure, in a month."

I lie beside her and lay on the same pillow, which was fairly big. I go to sleep, and think.

In a month.

Gonna try to get Chapter 7 in today. No promises.
