Hey everyone! Well...there's not really much to say here...so let's do this!
Disclaimer: I do not own the Spyro characters and games. They belong to their respective owners. I do own the characters Matt and Selema.
Now that Matt had arrived to help, the tide had slightly turned in the favor of the heroes against Malefor. Being that Matt's Keyblade could touch Malefor, it made the trio all the more dangerous as he could not fully focus on all three of his opponents at one time.
"Bothersome little pest!" Malefor roared as he fired a Convexity blast towards Matt's way, only for the warrior to speed harmlessly out of the way.
Spyro then channeled his fire energy around him and hurdled into Malefor with a powerful Comet Dash strike. Cynder then followed with a devastating acid bomb that singed Malefor's facial scales with a sizzle.
"Aaarggh!" Malefor roared out in agony, swiping at his scales to try and relieve the pain. However, he didn't get a moment to recover as Matt charged forward and delivered a powerful aerial combo towards Malefor's side, sending the evil tyrant flying backwards several feet from the blow.
"Yes! That's it!" Cynder exclaimed.
"Keep going, Matt!" Spyro added. "We've got him right where we want him."
However, they didn't know Malefor had yet another trick up his sleeve. "Is that so, Spyro? How about we…even the odds?" Suddenly, Malefor glowed with dark energy for several seconds before a wisp of smoke began to form around him. Matt and the others gasped as the smoke grew and took form…Malefor's form.
"What?" Spyro exclaimed. "Another one?" Matt cursed under his breath.
Malefor laughed manically. "Indeed, Spyro! I have your human friend to thank for the idea…now then…where were we?"
Matt grunted and quickly turned to his dragon comrades. "You two stay on Malefor! I'll handle the imposter!"
"Are you sure?" Cynder asked, but her words went unheard as Matt charged towards the fake. She scoffed in annoyance. "Oh, never mind!"
"Focus, Cynder!" Spyro yelled as he dodged a powerful lightning bolt from Malefor's maw.
Matt charged forward, getting the clone's attention on him. The clone then fired several dark energy blasts toward the young warrior, who had to fly upwards in order to get out of the way. However, the clone proved just as quick as the original, appearing right next to the warrior and swatting him away with a claw. Matt yelled out as he clutched his side, a small trickle blood flowing from the wound.
"Dammit!" Matt exclaimed as he fired a Fire spell towards the clone, only for it to shoot through his attack. Matt quickly flew again, only this time he twisted around and dived back before the clone could intercept him again.
Matt growled and stole a glance towards Spyro and Cynder, who were both still locked in aerial combat with Malefor.
Damn! I don't have time for this! They need my help NOW! Matt then turned to the clone and yelled out. "Alright! Get ready for me, you wannabe!" He then reached out with his left hand, calling his original Keyblade to his side opposite his Dragon's Fury blade. His body then began to glow as he closed his eyes.
"Matt…I don't think I've ever slept so well in my entire life." She sighed. "I like having you sleep next to me…"
Matt chuckled. "Right back at you…"
"Can we just stay here…all morning?"
"If that's what you want…"
"I will protect her…," Matt muttered, his blades beginning to glow white with light. "And YOU won't stop me!" He then charged towards the clone, issuing a loud battle cry. The clone quickly prepared to strike back with a Convexity blast, but the Keyblader vanished before his eyes before he could even launch an attack. It could only turn and watch as Matt reared back…
"TAKE THIS!" Matt yelled as he threw both his blades as hard as he could. The power increased their speed tenfold as they connected with the clone, decapitating it instantly and causing it to disappear from whence it came.
Matt quickly caught his Keyblades as they returned to him, desummoning his normal one as the light around his body faded away. He then leaned forward and panted hard. "Damn…that one took more out of me than I thought," he muttered. Matt then grit his teeth and charged back towards the main scrum.
By now, both Spyro and Cynder had begun to tire, their movements less crisp and their elemental attacks coming with less and less power behind them. However, it seemed as though Malefor was continuing to get stronger as the fight continued. Also, while the two heroes were nursing several minor injuries while Malefor didn't look like he had a scratch.
Spyro panted hard. "This is bad…," he said. "If this keeps up, we won't stand a chance!"
"Spyro…," Cynder added as she quickly hovered next to him. "I don't think we have a choice anymore! We're almost out of energy! We have to use Convexity now!"
Spyro grit his teeth and reluctantly nodded. "You're right…it's our only shot at this point."
"Hold on!" Matt yelled as he quickly flew next to them. He grit his teeth as he redirected one of Malefor's blasts right back at him. "You're not forgetting me are you? We can finish him off right now together!"
Spyro and Cynder turned to each other and nodded, knowing Matt's words to be true. "We need a few seconds to build it up!" He called.
Matt nodded. "I can take care of that!" He then tossed his blade into the air and clasped his hands together, calling two of his own shadow clones to his aid. He then pointed in Malefor's direction, causing them to speed off. "There! That should do the trick!"
Spyro and Cynder nodded in thanks before closing their eyes and calling their Convexity energies to their aid, opening their maws wide and forming the energy within. In turn, Matt pointed his Dragon blade above his head, light energy forming on the tip and building with each passing moment.
Malefor roared out in frustration, trying desperately to swat the two clones away as they kept his attention. However, they couldn't last forever as he finally swatted them away as they disappeared with a poof of gray smoke. Malefor then turned his attention back to the three heroes, his eyes narrowing as he knew what was upon him.
"You think you can stop me?!" Malefor roared. "You should know by now…I am eter-"
"Oh, can it already!" Matt yelled as all three attacks were fully charged and ready. "So long, Malefor!" Matt pointed his blade towards the tyrant and released in tune with Spyro and Cynder's own attacks. "KINGDOM CONVEXITY STRIKE!"
The three attacks erupted from their separate sources, combining into one all powerful attack. It radiated in many colors and flew towards Malefor faster than he could prepare a counterattack. The energy stream slammed into Malefor, causing him to strain in order to keep it at bay.
"It's over!" Matt screamed as he and his dragon friends pushed forward, sending more energy into their combined attack.
"Argh…engh…," Malefor exclaimed. "This cannot be!" Malefor then roared as he gave way to the blast, the light energy consuming him before their very eyes.
The shockwaves sent by the blast were felt for several miles, including by a certain pink dragoness who tumbled backwards through the sky. Selema quickly regained her balance and shook her head before seeing the powerful explosive cloud in the distance, her heart stopping.
"Matt!" she exclaimed, beating her wings forward in order to go faster. "I hope I'm not too late!"
Spyro, Cynder, and Matt waited for several moments before the light began to dissipate, lowering their respective limbs. All three were panting heavily from the amount of energy they'd used up, their chests heaving up and down as they hovered in the air.
"Is…it over?" Cynder asked. "Is…he gone?"
"I…I think so," Spyro replied.
However, to his surprise, the cold feeling on the back of Matt's spine didn't go away. His eyes widened in realization.
"No…," Matt whispered, his face going as white as Dax's scales.
Suddenly, an all too familiar cackle echoed through their ears. The three gasped as a pair of ugly, yellow eyes appreared before them, sending a wave of absolute horror through each of them. Following the eyes came a cloud of shadows, quickly forming back into a body.
Malefor hovered in the air, clapping his forepaws together mockingly. "Bravo…bravo. I must say…that was quite an impressive display of power."
Spyro's body began to shake, his jaw almost reaching the ground. "N-no way!" Cynder whimpered at his side, too nervous to say anything.
"THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!" Matt screamed. "How could you possibly have survived that?"
Malefor just rolled backwards as he laughed once more. "You would all be surprised by the power that one can possess with enough dark crystal energy…now then…"
Suddenly, Malefor disappeared once more before quickly reappearing behind Spyro and Cynder. The two couldn't react in time as Malefor quickly grabbed hold of each of them before disappearing once more.
"NO!" Matt yelled. "Spyro! Cynder!"
Malefor chuckled to himself as he looked down at the two struggling young dragons in his grasp. "Oh…what's this? Can't break free? That's too bad!"
"Spyro…I…can barely move…," Cynder gasped.
Spyro grit his teeth hard, feeling just as weak. "You…you planned this, didn't you? You knew we would resort to Convexity…so you just bided your time and waited till we were most vulnerable…"
Malefor chuckled again. "I must say Spyro…you are quite bright even in your final hour…"
Matt growled hard and took his stance again. "Let them go right now, Malefor!"
Malefor raised a brow towards the warrior. "Oh, really? What are you going to do about it, boy? You can barely keep your eyes open let alone fight…"
Unfortunately, Matt knew Malefor was right. His heart pounded in his chest as he panted, his entire body shaking from head to toe. His previous two attack had left him almost completely drained of energy. If it weren't for the Dragon blade and his sheer will, Matt would no doubt be plummeting to the earth below.
"Doesn't…matter…," Matt gasped. "I'll…still…stop you."
"No…you won't," Malefor replied simply as his eyes began to glow a shade of purple.
Matt suddenly felt his windpipe become constricted, making him gag and clutch his throat with his non weapon hand. He grit his teeth as he found himself unable to breath.
"Matt! NO!" Cynder yelled.
"Let him go, Malefor!" Spyro yelled out. "Stop it!"
However, the tyrant didn't heed their calls whatsoever, instead gripping the warriors throat tighter. "No…watch as your pitiful human warrior falls before your very eyes…watch as the light leaves his eyes."
Matt could feel his head spinning from the lack of oxygen as the world began to lose focus. Slowly, his eyes began to close…
"MATT!" Spyro and Cynder screamed in horror, watching as Matt's Dragon blade dematerialized before them before he began to plummet to the earth below.
Their voices were some of the last things he heard as he fell…images dancing in his head of happy, sad, and even horrible times in his life.
Is it…going to end like this? He thought to himself. I…I fail-
Suddenly, Matt felt himself jolted awake as he landed with a thud onto something tough yet soft to his touch. He groaned as the sound of beating wings filled his ears.
"Hold on, Matt," came the one voice he wanted to hear most. He felt as she hurried towards the ground, relaxing in her grip as they touched down. Matt then fell off her back and landed with a thud on the ground.
"Oh, ancestors," Selema gasped as she looked her lover over. "What has he done to you…?"
Matt groaned as she helped him to a lone tree, leaning against it. "Selema…," he panted. "I thought I told you to…go…"
Selema giggled and nuzzled Matt affectionately. "I know…but we're in this together Matt…no matter what."
Matt wanted to scold her, but he knew it would do no good. He grunted and massaged his aching throat. "I've got to…get back up there…"
Selema shook her head firmly to his surprise. "No…not this time, Matt." Her tone of voice concerned him.
"Wh-what do you mean?" Matt asked shakily. "I have to help Spyro and Cynder..."
Selema then grit her teeth and pinned his arms to the ground. "No, Matt. You can't go…not in your condition. Besides…I know what I have to do now…"
Matt froze and stared her in the eyes, finding something that made him shiver. "Selema…?"
Selema smiled as tears began to form in her eyes. "It's going to be ok, Matt. I…I'm going to finish this once and for all."
"B-but, Selema…"
Selema then leaned in and kissed Matt passionately, lasting a few seconds before she pulled back. "I won't let Malefor hurt you…or anyone else for that matter. " She touched his cheek with her paw. "Matt…you've given me so much. I only wish I could give you more…" She chuckled weakly. "I guess…this is the best I can do."
"Selema…," Matt croaked. "Whatever you're going to do…"
Selema silenced him again before kissing on the forehead one last time. "It's the only way, Matt. This time…I'm going to save you." She stood up and turned away. "Never forget…my heart belongs to you, Matt. It always has…and always will."
Matt's lips trembled as he raised his hand to stop her. "S-selema…"
Selema turned back one last time before spreading her wings. "Forgive me…" Selema then disappeared with a flash before Matt could do anything more.
"SELEMA!" Matt cried out, knowing she couldn't hear him where she was now…
Malefor watched as Spyro and Cynder squirmed in his grasp, the last of their strength dwindling away before his very eyes.
"That's right…," he whispered cruelly. "It will all be over soon."
Spyro gritted his teeth, trying to dig deep for whatever power he had left, but the battle had taken it's toll. He looked over to Cynder, wishing that she didn't have to suffer the same fate as him. If he could speak, he'd proclaim all of the ways he felt about her.
It…it can't end like this…
Suddenly, out the corner of his eye, Spyro thought he saw a pink blur. His eyes widened in realization. It can't be…
Malefor heard his name being called, looking to see something that made the moment all the sweeter. "Well what do you know…"
Selema charged forward and stood before the dark dragon, baring her teeth. "Let them go, Malefor. You've got what you came for."
Spyro and Cynder looked on in horror, both of them screaming at Selema to run in their minds.
"Hmm…tempting to say the least," Malefor replied. "However, my dear, seeing as how I already have these two at my mercy…you might as well sit back and enjoy their demise."
Selema grit her teeth. "I don't think so." Suddenly, faster than Malefor could anticipate it, she disappeared from sight. Malefor then roared in pain as both of his paws became seared with pain from separate elements. He looked down and went wide eyed as both Spyro and Cynder had disappeared as well.
"What? Curses! Damn you, Selema!" Malefor yelled. He quickly scanned for their presence, knowing they couldn't have gotten too far.
Meanwhile, back on the ground below, Selema reappeared with both Spyro and Cynder in tow. She set them both down on the ground as they recovered.
"Selema…thank you…," Cynder wheezed out, her wings slightly bent from being squeezed so tightly.
"But…what are you doing here?" Spyro asked. "You need to get out of here."
Selema smiled to the both of them and repeated her earlier words. "Thank you…both of you. Please forgive me." She then disappeared before their eyes once more, utilizing her ability over time once more.
"Selema!" Spyro yelled.
"What is she thinking?" Cynder asked with a worried tone. "She can't be thinking of taking him on alone."
"I know…," Spyro said. "We have to get back up there."
However, neither of them would make it in time. For at that very moment, Selema reappeared in front of Malefor in the air. The tyrant was furious, but his smile quickly returned once he saw the pink dragoness again. He laughed manically at the development.
"You are powerful indeed," Malefor exclaimed. "I didn't know you'd mastered Dragon Time so quickly. It only makes me want you more." Selema remained quiet, simply staying airborne and her eyes down. "What's this? Have you finally realized your destiny lies with me, my dear? Think about it…you will be by my side for all eternity."
A single tear fell from Selema's left eye before she opened them again, a look of defiance radiating from her blue orbs. "No!" She flapped hard to prove her point. "I was never yours to begin with, Malefor, and I never will be!" Malefor roared in frustration, but she continued on. "You once took everything I held dear to me, and made me nothing. But now…now I know my real destiny, and that's to make sure you never hurt anyone ever again!"
Malefor looked at her and laughed even harder. "You think you can defeat me? Not even Spyro or your pathetic human could stop me with their full power! What makes you think you can?"
Selema's heart skipped a beat at the mention of Matt, her eyes flashing at her hero being insulted. "Just watch me…" She then closed her eyes and hovered, concentrating harder than she'd ever had before in her entire life. The power within her began to gather within faster and faster with each passing second. Slowly, her body began to glow.
Malefor looked on curiously. "Hmm…what do you think you're doing? Blasting me isn't going to do much if you haven't already noticed."
Selema ignored him and continued on, the light around her body growing brighter and brighter with each second.
Suddenly, Malefor's eyes widened in realization. "Wait…c-could it be? No…th-that's impossible! Not even I can perform a maneuver like this." He began to fly backwards. "Stay back! Don't come close to me!"
However, it was already too late for him…and he knew it.
Selema grunted hard at the strain she felt on her body, her every pore feeling as though it was burning from the inside out. She wanted to stop so badly from the pain…but she knew she couldn't. She had to finish this…
All the while, her greatest memory played out in her mind…
"I love you, Matt. I love you with all my heart and soul…I always have…" She then pulled him closer and rested her head against his neck. "…and I always will for as long as I live."
"I realize now…that I don't feel for anyone the way I feel about you, Selema," he said softly. "Back when I thought I was going to die…I found the strength to keep going from within my heart. I don't know how…or exactly when…but somewhere along the line…I…I fell in love with you."
Selema last thoughts were short and simple. I love you, Matt… She then reared back and released the energy, screaming as the light encased the sky around her.
Malefor tried to escape, but it was all in vain. He felt the energy encased him, letting out a massive roar that lasted several seconds before he was lost within the light as well.
The shockwave that resulted from the powerful attack verberated for miles, sending several trees and other shrubs from their limbs.
From the ground below, Matt covered his face from the impact. "SELEMA!" he screamed. "NOOOO!"
Not too far from him, Spyro and Cynder shielded themselves with their wings as well. The two grunted for several seconds as the shockwave continued before finally letting up. They looked to the sky and the saw an orb of energy remain in place.
"Spyro…," Cynder exclaimed in shock. "W-what just happened?"
"I-I'm not sure," the purple dragon replied. "I don't know if I've ever seen an attack that powerful."
"Spyro…I-I can't sense Malefor anymore…" Cynder stammered shakily.
"I-I can't either…"
"What did Selema do?"
Spyro lowered his eyes back to the ground and stared into space for several seconds before his eyes widened into saucers. "That attack…it resembled…"
"A Fury?" Cynder finished his sentence. "But what kind?"
"A Time Fury," Spyro answered. "I think I remember Volteer mentioning it before when he lectured me on Furies. I don't remember much…but it was supposed to be one of the most powerful ones a dragon can perform."
"But…I don't sense Malefor whatsoever…," Cynder added. "If our best shot couldn't destroy him…how could her fury do that?"
Spyro's eyes widened again. "Because it didn't destroy him…," he exclaimed. "…Selema sent him to another time…or another plane."
"Another plane?" Cynder repeated. "Wait…are you saying Malefor could be trapped in some kind of limbo like we once were?"
"Frozen in time forever…," Spyro finished with a nod. "Yes…I think so. Malefor wanted to be eternal…looks like he got what he wished for after all."
Cynder smiled briefly before turning back to the sky. "But…what about Selema? Is she ok?"
Spyro's face turned grim as well. "I…I'm not so sure…"
Back at his place, Matt slowly stood up shakily and stared at the orb in the sky. "Selema…" he exclaimed. "What did you do?"
Suddenly, as the orb began to disapate, a form began to take place. It was a dragon hovering in the sky…it was her! However, Matt took notice when she wasn't moving. His heart then stopped when she began to fall to the ground below.
"SELEMA!" Matt screamed. With a great swoop, he brought out his Dragon Blade and sped as fast as the magical energy could carry him as she plummeted to the ground.
Gotta make it…gotta make it…
Matt screamed as he reached out and grabbed the pink dragoness in mid air, her weight pushing him all the way to the ground with a thud.
Matt groaned and ignored the pain that encased his body, his worries elsewhere. "Selema…Selema are you alright?!" He gasped loudly at what he found.
Selema's bright pink scales had turned a dull residue of the color, her blue faded into a darker shade as well. Her body felt cold…too cold.
"S-selema…?" Matt asked, turning her head to find her eyes closed and mouth slightly agape. "Selema?" He took her paw and brought it to him as he sat up. "Come on…it's ok. I'm right here, Selema. Wake up!" He shook her several times to no avail. "WAKE UP!" He shouted.
Matt then took his Keyblade and placed it on her body. Concentrating as best he could, he tried to summon whatever energy he had left for a single spell. "Curaga…," he exclaimed. A small amount of green energy surrounded the pink dragoness from head to paw before fading away. Selema remained limp in his arms. He tried again, but it was already too late…
Matt's lips then began to tremble when he got no response whatsoever from the dragoness. His lips began to tremble…tears flowing from his eyes. "No…no no no. Selema, please…don't leave me. Please don't leave me." He sobbed and pulled her close to him.
By now, Spyro and Cynder had arrived to the scene, finding the girl in Matt's arms before them and gasping.
"Oh no…," Cynder trembled.
"The fury…," Spyro mumbled. "The energy it took to create it…it…was too much for her to handle."
"Selema…," Cynder trembled before she too began to tear, knowing just what Spyro was getting to. She then turned and leaned against Spyro's chest. The purple dragon didn't hesitate to pull her in close with a wing. "She was so brave…it's not right, Spyro."
Spyro looked up and teared softly as well. "She used that power…knowing full well what would happen. Malefor is gone because of her…but…the price had to be paid to do it."
Matt kissed Selema's forehead and sobbed uncontrollably, his tears soaking her face and chest. He'd never felt so empty as his Keyblade disappeared to his side, useless to him now. He pulled her limp form close to him. "I'm so sorry, Selema…I failed you. I promised you'd be ok…like I promised my mom…and I failed you both." He sniffed hard before continuing. "I love you so much, Selema…more than anything. Please...don't leave me…I need you…"
...
"I need you…"
...
It was quiet where Selema was now. She wasn't completely sure what would happen once she'd let her final attack fly, but she had a good feeling that it was over now.
Now…now she felt more relieved than ever.
Selema opened her eyes weakly, finding herself in a strange state. She felt as light as a feather, and the world around her felt peaceful and warm. If it were up to her, she could stay here forever…
"That wouldn't be so bad…," Selema said as she closed her eyes. "Maybe…I should sleep…" As she began to close her eyes again, a pair of silhouettes were approaching from the distance. Curiously, Selema kept her eyes open to see what they were.
They were both larger than her. As they came closer, she made out the colors blue and red. Soon, she could make out wings and tails. Once they came into view, Selema gasped, her jaw dropping far.
Is it…is it really…?
The blue dragoness nodded along with the red male, their smiles wide. "It is…," they said together, their voices sending a wave of warmth over Selema's entire being.
Tears of joy flowed from Selema's eyes. "Mother…Father?" She then smiled and sprinted towards them. They welcomed her with open arms, their wings encasing the pink dragoness and pulling her close. The dragons nuzzled Selema's head affectionately while she cried into their chests.
"I missed you…so much…," Selema whimpered.
"We know, sweetheart," Aragon exclaimed. "But we've never left you…"
Selema looked up into their eyes. "I'm sorry…I'm so sorry you both were killed because of me."
Aurona licked Selema's face softly. "Don't be, Selema. It was always meant to be..."
"…and we'd do it again in a heartbeat," Aragon added firmly.
"If anything," Aurona added. "We should be apologizing to you for all those years you spent alone."
"It's not your fault," Selema replied while sniffing hard. "It never was…I'm just so happy that you both are here." Suddenly, Selema realized something. "Wait…does this mean…I'm...?"
Aurona smiled and shook her head softly. "Not completely, my dear. It isn't your time yet to join us…"
"Then…why are you here?"
Aragon chuckled. "I would think that would be obvious, Selema." He pulled her closer. "We came to tell you how proud we are to have you as a daughter."
Selema grinned proudly. "Did…did you always know about…my powers?"
Her father grinned again. "No…but once we learned of your destiny…we had no doubt that you would fulfill it."
"M-my destiny?"
Aurona nodded. "The last dragon of time came from my lineage…and their duty was to protect the Dragon Realms from all that would see to harm it while keeping the balance of space and time in check. Malefor is now in a place where he cannot do anymore harm to dragonkind, and it's all because of you."
Selema grinned widely. "So…so it's really over? He's gone for good?"
"Yes," Aragon replied. "You are now free to choose your own path, Selema."
Selema closed her eyes before gasping in realization. "Wait…does that mean you know about…Matt?"
Aurona giggled. "Oh yes…for when I had my final vision…it included Matt and how he would come to your aid."
"You see," Aragon continued. "Just like you fulfilled your destiny, Matt in turn fulfilled his by being your guardian."
Selema's eyes widened. "M-my guardian?"
"You and Matt were always destined to meet," her father replied. "The Ancestors knew that you would need help…and that's why they tested Matt when he first came to the Dragon Realms to see if he was worthy to be your protector. As you could've guessed, he passed with flying colors."
Selema giggled. "He would…"
"Not only that," Aurona replied. "But it seems that Matt also did more than protect you. The bond you shared grew so powerful…that it turned into love…and that gave you the strength you both needed to complete your own tasks."
Selema looked to both her parents, a worried tone in her eyes. "Mom…Dad…I…"
Aragon chuckled and nudged her. "If he is the one you have chosen…then we won't stand in your way."
"Matt certainly has proven himself worthy time and time again," Aurona also added. "It would make us both proud if you wanted to be with him if you choose to."
Selema grinned widely and nodded. "I do…" She then gasped. "Wait…Matt…what happened to him?"
Suddenly, the family heard sobs coming from behind Selema. Her heart stopped when she heard his voice.
"I love you so much, Selema…more than anything. Please...don't leave me…I need you…"
Selema's eyes teared. "Matt…," she said softly. She turned back to her parents. "Can I…?"
"Of course," Aurona replied. "It is your life after all. He needs you…"
Selema turned to go before she paused. She took one last look at her parents. "W-will I ever see you again?" Her lip trembled at the very thought. Now that had one of her greatest desires been fulfilled, she didn't want it to end so soon.
"That…we cannot say…," Aragon replied. "But never forget, Selema…we are always with you…no matter where you go."
"We love you, sweetheart," Aurona added. Suddenly, they began to fade away before Selema's eyes.
"Mom! Dad! Wait!" Selema cried.
"We love you...," they both said softly before they were gone for good, leaving Selema alone once more.
"I love you too…," Selema replied as she wiped away the tears from her eyes, never feeling more loved than she did now…
Back in the real world, Selema grunted softly before opening her eyes slowly, the world refocusing once more. She saw Matt's face, which was stained and wet from his sobbing over her.
"I'm sorry…," he mumbled. "I'm so sorry…"
Selema smiled and reached up weakly with a paw. "Matt…"
Matt's eyes shot opened, gasping sharply. He whirled to find her blue eyes staring once more into his own. "S-selema?!"
The pink dragoness grinned, the color of her scales returning to their normal brightness. "The one and only…" She then leaned up and kissed him with what energy she had left. Matt pulled her close and returned it back, tearing with joy like never before.
By now, Spyro and Cynder had noticed and cheered for joy as Selema was alive!
"It's a miracle!" Cynder exclaimed.
"I don't believe it!" Spyro added too. The two rushed over and hugged the two of them, relieved that this battle was finally over.
Selema and Matt pulled back, happy to take their friends in open arms. They looked back to each other and smiled. Matt had no idea what had just happened, but that didn't matter now. All that did matter was that Selema was with him and Malefor would never trouble them again.
For the first time in a long time…Matt was truly happy.
And...there it be. You have no idea how pumped I was when I came up with this idea! :3
Well...I'll just let you all have your says now...it's only fair :D
Peace out,
Biz
