Chapter 7:
The sun shone brightly through the slowly darkening clouds. "Man, I wish it didn't have to rain." Spyro said with a sigh as he watched the clouds hang sadly overhead. Elora hums in agreement.
"It's disappointing. I wish our picnic could have lasted longer." She said sadly. Spyro offered a gentle smile.
"Well we can go on a another one soon. Right?" He said. Elora laughed and kissed him on the cheek.
" Of course. I can't wait." The two kept on the dirt trail that slowly turned to stone, until they came to the entrance of the castle. Gnic stood in front of the doors, and smiled and waved as the two approached.
"Good afternoon!" Gnic said with a bow. "How was your date?" Spyro reddened as he blew steam out of his nose.
"It wasn't a date." He said quietly. Elora just rolled her eyes as she pat the dragon on his head. She then turned back to the Gnorc.
"It was wonderful. Sadly it had to be cut short." Elora's eyes followed to where Gnic hand was placed on his side. "Hey, where's your sword?" She asked.
Gnic's eyes widened before he looked away with guilt. " It's uhm.."
"Right here." Fayra said walking around the corner. The brand new shiney sword sat on her shoulder. She kneels down on one knee and bows her head. Lifting the sword above her head. "Your new sword." She smiled.
Gnic's eyes sparkled as he took the sword. Staring at it. " Whoa! I can see my reflection in it!" He said.
" I glad you like it." Fayra laughed. She then turns to Elora and Spyro. "Welcome back you two! How was your day?"
"It was wonderful!" Elora said. The two women and the Gnorc started to chatter among themselves while Spyro sat there. Lost in thought.
After the event that transpired in the Sorceress castle they promised to keep it on the down low. Just to say that the Sorceress still had the books.
Spyro knew that Fayra didn't mean her betrayal. It was a trick. A way to get on the Sorceress good side, but Spyro couldn't shake this feeling in his gut. This stone that weighed him down. Something wasn't right and he worried that it all had to do with Fayra.
"Spyro?" Elora's voice snapped him out of his thought.
"Y-yeah?" He said, shaking his head.
"Are you okay?" She asked.
"Oh yeah! I'm fine, I guess I'm just tired." He mumbled rubbing his eye with one paw and yawning.
" Hm. Well how about I make you some tea after dinner so you'll sleep better tonight." Fayra offered. Spyro smiled.
"That'd be nice." He said softly. Fayra smiled back and turned to Elora.
"Would you like to stay for dinner?" She asked. Elora shook her head.
"I'd love to really, but I need to get home." She started walking up the path, waving at the trio behind her. "I'll see you all tomorrow! Sleep well alright!"
"Bye Elora!" Fayra and Gnic called out. Spyro merely gave a dreamy wave. He then followed them inside the castle. He watched as Fayra hummed happily to herself.
There is no way this girl could be a villain.
Right?
