Leaving Home
Cyrus's POV
I woke up, glad it was the weekend. Yet I felt something was off.
My father was telling me we would be going somewhere very far away. He had worry in his voice, something I never thought I'd see him have.
I got up, my scales now being warmed by the sunlight. My mother was up as well, talking to my father.
She was weeping.
"… but what if you don't come back alive? What if you-"
Spyro cut her off, "I will be okay. We will save everyone and everything. I'll be back before you know it."
My mother saw me, "Cyrus, there's something we need to tell you…"
She explained to me how the army will attack in a week. How they plan to take over the other dimension, then come here and destroy us.
She said Ali and I would fight with our fathers, and we will win.
Once she was done, my dad told me it was time to go.
As we flew to the temple, I couldn't help but think of Tina. I knew I loved her, but already I'm going to this other dimension.
I never told her how I felt, and if I don't come back….
No, I will come back, I will tell her.
"That's a promise, "I whispered as I flew.
Ali's POV
I woke up in my dorm, with the sun shining through the window. I knew today was the day I would ask her. I wanted to spend all of today with Shia. Visit the park, or the lake. Just the two of us.
I got out of bed, and stepped out of my dorm.
A piece of paper fell down and I picked it up.
The hand writing was written in dragon language instead of English, since we dragons have sloppy writing:
Ali, you must head to the temple. This is very important, so I need you here quickly. We will be fighting yet another monster, but this time, our world and another is at risk. We will travel there and try to stop them all. Thank you and please be good to your new girlfriend if we get back.
-Asyree, your father.
I was already knocking on Shia's door, having dropped the note.
If we get back? I thought, Where are we going?
I stopped thinking when Shia finally open the door.
She smiled when she saw me, her scales shining in the sunlight.
"Hey Ali, what's up?" She said.
"I want to hang out today, I really do, but we have to… uh… save two worlds," I said.
"Please come back safely, Ali," she said after a moment.
"Yes I will, that's a promise," I said.
She stepped very close to me, her muzzle inches from mine.
"Let me give you incentive to come back alive…"
She then closed the gap, and kissed me.
For seconds, I felt I could've died there happily.
Sadly, she ended the kiss too early for me.
I was stunned, and I realized she'd love me, and that I loved her.
I nodded, not knowing what to do, and then left the building for the temple.
….
I arrived with my father, Spyro, and Ali waiting for me.
My dad filled me in on the plan. I knew how dangerous this was, and what we could lose.
I have a promise I thought, and I am going to keep it.
Asyree's POV
I finished telling my son what we were doing. I then went back to worrying.
I can't transform at all I thought, How will we win?
I remembered what I thought was the reason for my troubles.
Flashback
Spyro and I had found the base of the Anaheim army. We used stealth and hung out on top of the ledges to learn of their plans.
Spyro and I were in a large room with potions and scrolls. There were about 3 apes in the room. They were reading a weird scroll. Spyro and I were about ten feet above them trying to listen in.
"…. Say karaska dea karaska…" one ape said.
Suddenly a small whirlpool like portal appeared next to him. It was blue and it slowly drew things toward it. It was big enough to fit any of the guardians.
Obviously the portal appeared only with that spell.
"karaska dea karaska uaka" the ape said.
The portal became big enough to fit all four of the guardians at once,"
"That's it? This was pretty easy, Spy, so let's g-" I was cut off.
2 large apes with mechanical wings somehow got behind us without us knowing.
"You won't defeat us without your special power! NOW!" one of them said.
They stabbed us in our backs with strange needles. Along with pain, I felt something drain from me. I assumed Spyro was in my same condition.
We torched the apes, killing them quickly, then got out of there.
Once we were back at the temple, we reported how we could get to the other dimension.
However, when I tried to teleport back home, I couldn't do so. Worse I couldn't transform when I needed too. Spyro had the same problem.
I knew we had to figure out something, but we couldn't transform at all.
Flashback End
Now here we were, the portal now summoned and ready to go.
"Well, Spyro, looks like we will be in the fight of our life," I said.
"We will be, but our sons are here, so we have a chance," he said, looking at both his son and mine.
Together we walked up to the portal, watched by the Guardians, our mates, Sparx, and even Alia uncle, Alio.
"Here goes nothing," I say.
Together we entered the portal, not having a clue off what we may see.
