Before I write this piece, I'm just going to say, this chapter will probably spark some anger in anybody who is a fan of Volteer, so watch out.
Chapter 5
Cynder is still sleeping when Spyro sneaks in the room. She hears his footsteps but doesn't open her eyes to see who it is. He curls up next too her and lightly touches her horns with his pointing claw, much like a man to a woman's hair. Cynder finally opens her eyes and smiles.
"You're back, what happened? You look exhausted."
"A bunch of stupid red dragons tried to fight me. I retreated, but only because I didn't want to hurt them."
Cynder rolls her eyes, "Yeah right. I bet you were scared."
"Not one bit!" Spyro shakes his head and puffs up his chest confidently but Cynder still doesn't believe him. She just gives him a look that says yeah right. Spyro gives in and admits that he was a little scared, but only because she forced him.
"Hello." Both Spyro and Cynder spin their heads around towards the new voice, "Oh, sorry, I just wanted to say hi. I'm Latvia, the guardians brought me here. Said they needed some help taking care of you two. If you want me to leave you alone-"
"No, it's ok. We weren't going to do anything anyway." Says Cynder. Spyro looks at her confused and them back at Latvia as she pads over to them, her huge paws making the ground tremble, "So, Latvia, why exactly are you here?"
"I was in the market, when I noticed the guardians talking in a big group near the center. My curiosity was sparked because I don't usually see three old dragons just standing around in the market unless something important was happening. So I moved closer to hear what they were talking about and found out they were searching for mates. The big yellow one noticed my sister and rushed off to talk to her while the other three kept searching. I wasn't sure if they were good or bad so I stayed a fair distance away. When the yellow guy returned sad, I knew that my sister had rejected him. That would mean he wasn't bad because she only went for the evil dragons." Latvia takes a long breath before continuing her story, taking care to not talk about the sex she had at the campfire. Cynder turns to Spyro after Latvia is done with an angry face.
"You told me that they were only out for a exercising flight! You lied!" Then she stands up and heads for the door. Spyro runs after her and tries to explain but Cynder doesn't listen. Latvia grins slyly before leaving the room and entering her own. She lies down on the bed that Terrador had found for her and closes her eyes. She had planned for this the whole time, hoping that it would be the first step towards breaking up Spyro and Cynder. The purple dragon gives up and heads for Volteer's room, hoping to gain some guidance. He finds the yellow dragon searching through an old book and whistling a tune that Spyro doesn't recognize. He looks up from his reading and stops whistling.
"Oh! Spyro! What's up?" Volteer quickly shuts the book and lies on top of it to hide the name.
"Mind if I ask what you're reading?"
"Yes, that's private."
"Ok. What I really came here for was to ask you why you brought Latvia back with you. Didn't you guys tell me you were just going to go screw some female and then come back? Cynder's angry at me now thanks to you."
"Did we say that? Oh. Well, sorry about the Cynder thing, I'm sure she'll calm down eventually." Volteer nods and impatiently sways his tail.
"What's with the tail? You anxious about something?"
"Huh? What? Oh, n-n-nothing. Just habit. Now are you done?"
"Not even close, what are you reading?" Asks Spyro while moving even closer to Volteer. The yellow guardian stares at him wearily before stepping off the now flattened book and directing his eyesight to the ground in shame.
"How to mate for dummies!? Volteer! I had no idea!" Spyro is about to burst out laughing, but stops when he sees Volteer's face. The guardian is practically crying. Spyro feels sorry for him and tries to think of some way that he could help him.
"Sniff, I was never taught by anyone, and whenever I try to learn by experience, the girl just laughs at me."
"I really wish I could help you, but I don't know how."
"How about leaving me to my reading, you wont tell anyone right?" Spyro nods, "Ok, goodnight."
"Goodnight." As Spyro starts to leave, an idea jumps into his head, "Wait! What about Cynder!?"
"What about her?"
"She could help you! I wouldn't mind if it's for a good cause. I'm pretty sure she wouldn't either." Volteer's face lights up as millions of images of her slender body lying on a bed with her legs open rush into his head. Spyro watches uncomfortably as Volteer gets 'excited' and eagerly starts panting, "Woah man! Settle down! It's not like she's going to fuck you! She's only going to show you what goes where, I hope."
"I accept!" Exclaims Volteer, shutting his drooling mouth.
"Of course you do."
Cynder is still fuming about Spyro's little lie. She starts mumbling to herself when Sparx suddenly runs into her.
"Hey watch where you're going!"
"Sorry, I've got a lot on my mind." Apologizes Cynder.
"Like what? I've got time."
"Well Spyro for one. I just found out that he lied to me and I'm wondering if he's keeping any other secrets." Sparx places his hand underneath his chin in a thoughtful stance. The cool midnight air blows past Cynder's wings and makes her shiver. The only time she ever felt this cold before was when she had traveled to Dante's Freezer. That was when she was still evil. The horrible memories from that time still float around in her head, haunting her for all of eternity. The only times she is ever at peace, is when Spyro is next to her.
"I never knew Spyro could lie! He's never lied to me before, I think." Sparx scratches his head in a futile attempt to get any memory of Spyro lying out of his head by force.
"What in the world are you doing?" Wonders Cynder with a confused expression.
"What? Oh, you mean this?" Sparx motions to his hand and Cynder nods, "I'm scratching my head in deep thought, don't tell me you've never done that before."
"Nope, can't say that I have. Can you stop? It's creepy." Sparx nods and stops. Cynder thanks him and keeps walking. Sparx looks over his shoulder and snickers before buzzing of into the inner workings of the temple. She's standing at the balcony when Spyro and Volteer walk up behind her.
"Hey Cynder, ummm...I was wondering, if you're done being angry at me, if you could help out our friend Volteer here." Volteer smiles and waves hopefully.
"What kind of help?" Cynder smiles back and cocks her head slightly.
"He, uh, he doesn't know how to have sex." Cynder is about to start laughing when she's stopped by Spyro's serious eyes. Volteer nods and looks away, wondering if this was a good idea.
"Sure, I'll teach him."
"Really!?" Exclaims Volteer.
"Yeah! Consider it payment."
Spyro's ears twitch, "What do you mean by payment?" Both Cynder and Volteer look at each other, then Spyro, then back to each other again and start laughing. Spyro just stands there confused.
"So where are we going to, you know, do this?" Asks Volteer.
"Our room." Answers Cynder before turning towards the door, "Spyro will stand guard, wont you Spyro." He nods. They all walk into the temple and head for Cynder and Spyro's room.
Author's note:
Well that was chapter 5, I'm still open for any requests. Next chapter expect some expicitness. Will Cynder and Volteer go to far? Why is Spyro ok with Volteer staring at his girlfriends privates? Why was Sparx snickering evily on the balcony? All these questions are giving me lots of options! If you were wondering where the other guardians were the whole time, you will find out in the next chapter.
