A War against another Kind

Chapter 19

A/N Hey guys I'm getting a lot of reviews and stuff saying it short, I promise I'll try my best to get longer chapters, I used to think this was gonna be easy now I realize it's a lot harder but I won't give up. Also someone and I won't name anyone said I should focus less on action and more on verbal stuff I'll try that too. Ok on with the show!

Chapter 19: A day off of shopping

Kirk woke up a little sore from what Demodius did to him and the fight with Spyro. He groaned as he got out of bed and went to the balcony to get some air, he breathed in the air and held his breath for a moment savoring the air since it would be filled with ash in the near future, he breathed out and admired the view.

The city was so beautiful the buildings were a gold tint from the reflection of the sun; the visible fountains had rainbows over them from the sun. The sun even felt like a part of the city it was just peaking over the wall and the mountains in the distance. Kirk thought to himself "It a shame that all this beauty will be destroyed again".

He probably stood there for about ten minutes when he felt some weight press against his shoulder; he looked over and saw his Glacia also admiring the view. "Good morning, Glacia" Kirk greeted Glacia. "Good morning to you too" Glacia replied.

"Don't you just love this view, it's just so beautiful" Kirk asked. Glacia nodded in response and also realized that it wouldn't look like this in a few days. "Why does war have to come back so soon"? Glacia asked. Kirk sighed and almost didn't answer but finally said "Because that's what most creatures natural response is, the dragons are on top of the food chain except for a few exceptions. As a result we constantly need to assert ourselves to each other to prove were the best and so wars break out". Kirk finally finished saying. Glacia was shocked "How did you come up with that"? Kirk answered "When I was in the hospital you'll be surprised how much time I had to myself to think".

Suddenly a knock came from the door, "Must be Spyro and Cynder" Glacia said walking up to the door. Turns out it was Cyril and Glacia asked "Master Cyril, what are you doing here shouldn't you be getting ready for training"? Cyril had an annoyed face on and said "First off cut the Master stuff I hate that, second for today there will be no training we will be consulting our options with the generals".

Cyril nodded and walked away to go to the meeting. Kirk was fine with not having to train; he still felt really bad and wanted a day to rest. "Well what are we gonna do today"? Kirk said "Maybe we should wait for Spyro and Cynder before we start thinking". "Thinking about what"? A familiar voice came from behind him.

"Ahhhh! Don't do that. You nearly gave me a heart attack". Cynder giggled and said "I guess you found out about the day off too". Spyro appeared around the corner of the balcony looking a little tired but had a smile on "Alright so what are we gonna do today"? Spyro said and then yawned. Kirk shrugged and said "I don't know, we could try to enjoy the city before it gets destroyed. Spyro and Cynder both knew that the cities fate was sealed to destruction so they agreed.

A few minutes later outside the temple…

"So you guys know this city better than us so you tell us where we should go". Kirk suggested. Spyro looked confused and said "Actually we know almost nothing about the city we only really know the few spots we were in when we first came here during the attack". "That's just great you have no idea where anything is"? Glacia didn't want to hear them argue so she interrupted "Maybe we should just wonder around until we find something". Everyone agreed and walked down a street.

Everywhere they went there was always someone staring at them since Spyro and Cynder were with them, "Man I hate being a hero, but I would have still saved the world" Spyro whispered to Kirk "Seriously, you don't like this people like you so much they may give you free stuff, also if you and Cynder don't work out which I doubt it will think about all the chicks who will be all over you". Spyro thought about it then said "No still don't like it, besides Cynder's the only one for me". Kirk nodded and left the subject alone.

Eventually they came upon a fountain; it looked like any other fountain. It was a circular pond made of stone; in the middle was a square stone block with a dragon sitting on top of it. The dragon looked wise and heroic even though he was completely grey; The stone block had one water stream shooting out each side. Finally there were podiums with words on them Kirk couldn't quite make out at every 90 degrees around the fountain.

This dragon had obviously done something great and touched the hearts of a few dragons; two of which who were now standing in the square. Spyro and Cynder both bowed to dragon out of respect, Kirk even noticed Spyro dropped a tear and muttered something under breath. Obviously this dragon was important to them. They both walked away but Kirk stayed behind to read what was on the podiums.

They read

Here lies the memorial for one of the world's greatest heroes, Ignitus the Fire Guardian. In his time he taught the great purple dragon Spyro who went on to save the world. In the final day of the war he sacrificed himself and all he was to get Spyro and Cynder across the Great fire barrier so they could stop Malefor. He shall forever be remembered in our hearts. Most who knew him saw him as a leader that showed compassion and respect, he treated everyone like family. No one can ever replace him but he sacrificed himself knowing he gave the world one last hope.

Ignitus we remember

Kirk knew who he since the night the chronicler called upon him and the others. He wondered why the two were so sad because they both knew he was still alive. Then it suddenly hit him, they know he's alive but they can never just talk to him when they wanted to. It was like knowing your someone close to you was alive but you could never see them because they were on the other side of the world. He felt sorry for them, but at least he was still alive. A tear came from his eye, all the memories came to him, and all the people he would never see again he couldn't bare it. He wiped away the tear and continued on his way.

Kirk finally caught up to the other three and Glacia asked "What took you"? Kirk had hoped no one would have noticed and said "Nothing just looking at something that's all". Glacia didn't ask any further and they continued to walk.

"Ok I think were lost". Spyro suddenly burst out. Cynder was a little annoyed "Well then go ask somebody directions". Spyro turned and gave Cynder a glare that said "Are you crazy" Spyro said "I'm the Purple dragon can you imagine how dumb I'd look if I asked for directions". Kirk and Glacia laughed and when they were done Kirk suggested "Why don't we just fly and find something". Once again everyone agreed and took off.

They were flying slowly enough that they could talk to each other so they didn't have to worry about anything and after about five minutes of flying they found the market area, it was pretty packed but there was enough room to land at least. They dived down and instantly when they landed the crowded gave them room, and once again they were all staring at them.

After about ten minutes of shaking paws and praising they were finally left alone. Kirk said "Geez about time, I was almost ready to go on without you". Spyro and Cynder rolled their eyes and sat down beside them. "Alright now I think we should go buy some stuff". Glacia suggested. "Umm we don't have any money, how can we buy anything"? Spyro asked. "Oh ya I forgot, when Cyril came to our door he gave us some money since he guessed we were going out to the city". Glacia said as she passed four equal piles of coins. "Go crazy, we'll meet here in a half hour K"? Glacia said as she walked off with her money.

Spyro and Cynder went with each other while Glacia went on her own. Kirk walked in another direction he wanted to use this opportunity to buy Glacia something, they had been together for about a week and he still hadn't even gotten her something. Now the question was what he should buy her, chocolate felt to cheap and they wouldn't last forever. A few other ideas passed his head but they either seemed really cheap or way to expensive. Only one seemed right was jewelry.

Luckily for him there was one vender in the square for him to choose from. So he went to the vender and found a few that looked good. One was heart a necklace that kinda glowed red and had a gold border around it, the next was a two wings that looked slightly different from each other, and where the wings connected was a blue gem that was the same shade as Glacias scales. The last one was two dragons connected together by a red heart gem between them and under the display it said Custom colour variations.

Kirk looked up at the dragoness in charge of the stand. The dragon noticed and said "How may I help you"? The dragoness was an electric dragon because of her yellow scales and had a white stomach; she had fairly straight horns and average wings. That's all he could see over the counter at least. He replied "That one that says it has colour variations is there any way on could change colours"? The shop keeper looked confused and said "Yes I could do that but it would cost extra, but why"? Kirk looked around and wasn't comfortable with all the people nearby "Can I come around to the back so I can explain"? The dragoness obviously felt uncomfortable but was also curious so motioned for him to come around.

Kirk came around and when he knew there was no way someone would see him he said "Watch". Then he changed his scale colour yellow. The Dragoness was surprised and asked "How did you do that"? Kirk knew this was gonna happen so he explained very briefly how he was able to do this, the shop keeper was astounded and said "That's amazing! This might be easier to do then I thought". Kirk asked "why's that"? Dragoness smiled and invited him into a small tent behind the stand.

"Because to change the colour I need to use a spell to change the gem colour, the spell needs a person to work the harder part is getting the colour of the other person I found a loop hole around that". She explained. She sat at one side of a small round table and motioned for Kirk to sit on the other side. She began to chant something and grabbed his paw. An aura appeared around them and he finally noticed the jewelry was right under his paw, finally the chanting stopped she let go of his paw when he looked at the one dragon it was yellow.

"Why is it only yellow"? Kirk asked very confused. She replied "Try changing to another colour my theory might work". So he did and as he changed the yellow dragon crystal changed to along with him until they were both blood red again. "That's awesome"! Kirk yelled. The dragoness smiled and said "I can't believe it, it worked. Now for the next step what is your girlfriends colour"? She pulled out strips with different colours on them, Kirk shuffled through them until he found the exact blue he was looking for "This one" She took the colour and put it over the other dragon shaped crystal and began chanting again, once again the aura appeared and finally disappeared when she was done. When she removed the paper from the dragon it was the exact blue that Glacia was.

Kirk was amazed but then realized the hardest part was coming, could he pay for this? He asked "Ok, how much will these cost me"? The dragoness laughed and said "Not much actually, how about ten gold coins"? Kirk was taken back "Why so little"? She smiled and said "Usually I would make you pay a little more but you've shown me something amazing as well so I'll give you a discount". Kirk payed the dragoness and thanked her and left to meet with everyone, half an hour came really fast.

He arrived last and his friends let him know it he kept the necklace hidden so he could give it to Glacia in private. They took off and went back to the temple, to get some lunch. When they landed Spyro asked "Kirk, why did you take so long to get back anyway"? Kirk was expecting this and said "I was trying to by something but shopkeeper wouldn't lower the price". The lie worked and everyone kept walking. Only now did he notice the things everyone bought. Spyro had bought a painted picture of Cynder and himself. Kirk asked "How did the guy paint that so fast"? Spyro laughed and said "How do you think he used magic to create it.

Kirk nodded and looked at Cynder who seemed to have bought new bracer to replace her old, damaged silver ones. They were now gold each with a red heart shaped crystal in the middle and engraved wings coming off the hearts. "Wow those look really good how did you pay for them. Cynder looked down at them and said "You really think they look good? I thought they were average compared to the other stuff he had. As for how I payed for them, Spyro gave me the last of his money after he bought the picture".

Lastly he looked at Glacia she somehow looked even more beautiful. "Man you look great, did you buy some crazy mind trick thing or something"? Glacia giggled and said "No, I had my scales cleaned and polished. It was a quick job if I had more time I would look even better". Kirk only growled sensually and rubbed up against her and continued walking.

They had their lunch and went to the dojo for an hour to train and finally went back to their rooms. As they were walking back Cyril came up behind them and said "Spyro and Cynder can you come with me, we would like to talk to you about our plans". Spyro said "Give us a second so I can drop off some stuff. Cyril nodded and Spyro and Cynder ran ahead and came back in less than a minute and left with Cyril.

"… Well now what" Glacia asked. "We could go back to our room and rest for awhile" Kirk suggested. Glacia nodded and they kept walking to their room. Kirk opened the door and let Glacia in first and came in behind her.

Kirk decided this was the best time for him to reveal his present. "Hey Glacia you know how I said that I didn't buy anything, well I lied". Kirk said. Glacia looked back and saw the necklace hanging from his paw; she was amazed by how it was the same colours as them exactly. "How did you get this"? She finally asked. "I found a vender selling it and she could change its colour but watch this". Kirk said then changed to blue, just like last time it changed along with him. Glacia once again was amazed and asked "How did you get it to do that"? Kirk chuckled and said "To be honest I don't know, I guess the spell she used connects me to it as for the blue one it was done by using a piece of paper I chose from". He slipped it over her neck and she looked gorgeous or actually more beautiful than before.

Kirk just smiled and said "You look great". Glacia blushed and hugged him and finally wrapped their tails together and stood like that for some time until around dinner.

Hey that chapter went so much longer then I thought like that's the longest chapter I've done so far nearly 3k words. Ok so I promised I would make longer chapters there you go and I hope I can keep this up. Also I made some more relationship stuff. Everyone who is reading and giving me help, thank you to all. To other people who don't review just drop one so I know your reading doesn't really have to say anything I just want to know if anyone else is reading. See you next time!
