Chapter 16-(Remorse and Forgiveness)
Spyro was chained onto the wall for more than a month. Spyro refused to eat, nor drink. He wanted to die, for what he did. He never meant to hurt them. But it was too late. Mark was back to normal and understood what had truly happened to Spyro. Elva was still upset about what Spyro did and she hadn't looked at nor cared about him since. Spyro wanted to run to his mother and say how sorry he is. But every time he called for her, she ignored him as if he was never born. Spyro hasn't seen Cynder, Sparx, Godith or Ignitus since the tragedy. Mark came with a set of keys and was taking Spyro off the wall. "Spyro, look I am sorry for what I said and did to you, I just lost it because I don't want to see my friends being taken over by evil." "It's ok" said Spyro weakly. "I just wish I was killed in my nightmare. Now my mom won't love me anymore and my friends think I am a traitor." said Spyro. "Spyro, your mom still loves you, she just lost trust in you. She won't lose your love. She won't." said Mark. "Thanks." said Spyro with a smile. "You really got to eat." said Mark. "I know so what are we going to eat?" asked Spyro. "Just follow me." said Mark.
They left the room and went to the dining table. He saw Cynder and Sparx, but they were sitting near Godith. Godith saw Spyro and kept her eye on him. Spyro knew that Godith wanted to just kill him. "Relax darling." said Mark. "Just stay away from my sister." said Godith coldly. Spyro saw his mom. He wanted to hug her so much and say how sorry he was. Elva looked at him. "Hi mother." said Spyro with a weak smile. Elva didn't respond all she did was turn away. Spyro felt as if his world was falling apart. Spyro then saw Ignitus but he knew that Ignitus would not say anything back. "Spyro, come here" said Ignitus. "But..." "Just come Spyro, I do not hate you." said Ignitus. Spyro felt a little happy. Spyro sat next to Ignitus. Mark sat next to Spyro. "Spyro I know what happened to you a month ago, was not your fault. It was the Dark Masters fault. He corrupted your mind and made you his new servant. If it wasn't for Mark, you would've been under the Dark Masters full control. That is the reason why your head hurts so badly." said Ignitus. "Well I guess I should say thank you Mark." "No problem just be careful next time." said Mark.
They ate silently afterwards and when Spyro looked up to see his mother, he saw a tear in her eye. Spyro went to his mom and asked. "Mom, what's wrong?" Elva looked down at Spyro. "Oh Spyro I can't be mad at you forever. I know what happened to you was not your fault. I am sorry for what I said to you a month ago." She hugged Spyro and kissed him. Spyro felt more happy. His mother did love him, Mark was right.
When Cynder left the table, Spyro went after her, only to be picked up by Godith and carried to another room. She dropped Spyro and looked at him. "Spyro, like your mother, I can't stay mad at you forever. I should've taught you how to resit Dark Control. It is my fault that I let you fall prey to the Dark Master." said Godith with sorrow. "Hey it's all right. I know I made a stupid move, I should've trusted my instincts." said Spyro. "Now Spyro, it won't be easy for you and Cynder. She is afraid of you after what happened. Be careful, since I taught her some of my moves. She might try and hurt you. If not she will try and fly away from you." said Godith.
Spyro went to Cynder. She was at the mouth of the cave, watching the sun rise. 'I just hope she will not be afraid of me' thought Spyro. Spyro walked to her, Cynder turned around to see Spyro. She was about to fly away from him, but he stopped her. "Cynder, Please wait!" said Spyro. Cynder stopped. Spyro looked into her eyes and saw fear in it. "Look I am really sorry about what happened to us a month ago. I didn't mean for it to happen. I had a dream about you, of how beautiful you looked. But then you were turned to evil by the Dark Master. I didn't know what was happening. I am sorry about me scaring you. Please forgive me." said Spyro with remorse. Cynder looked at him and finally said. "Spyro, I know that you didn't mean for any of this to happen. When I saw you being evil I thought that I lost you for good." She rested her head on Spyro's shoulder. "I'm just glad you are not dead and not submitted to the dark side like I was." said Cynder. Spyro looked and saw a tear in her eye. He wiped it off. "Don't worry, we will make sure that will not happen again to both of us."
