Chapter 6:

"So I'd take it you remember now?" Spyro said with a chuckle. I then just realize I hugging him. I step back and clear my throat.

"A bit, yeah." I reply. "It's all just so fuzzy. I remember you, and how we met, but beyond thatI don't remember anything."

"It has been a few years." He said.

"I guess." I said. Holding my head. I felt exhausted, drained. Spyro gave me a look of pity.

"Hey. Let's get back to the artisan world." He said. I hummed, got up, and followed him.

The trail we walked through the forest seemed like it'd never end. The trees seemed too close, the slightest sound of wildlife scattering about seemed overwhelming. Everything seemed so much darker.

It was like I was a child all over again.

"So… What did those Gnorcs want with me anyways?" I asked. In hopes that in breaking the silence, I'd calm down.

"I don't really know. All I know is that Gnastys brutes were looking for a blond haired kid with magical powers. I had a feeling it would be you." He replies.

"Kid? I'm twenty three." I say.

"I've noticed." He said notilantly. "Time must go by a little quicker from where your from."

"I guess." I sigh. "So this Gnasty guy is looking for me, but we don't know why?"

"Exactly."

"Well that makes me feel safe." I said sarcastically.

"Well hopefully you'll be safe back home." He muttered.

"Then what do we do after that?" I asked. "Do I just sit around twiddling my thumbs until something else goes wrong?!"

Spyro looked at me worriedly. " Fayra please calm down."

"No!" I yelled. Pointing my finger in his face. "I have been nothing but confused all day! Do you know how overwhelmed I am right now? First I discover this portal to another world! Then I get knocked out, find out I have magic powers then only now after 23 YEARS decided to show up! And now my only way home is destroyed! My family must be worried sick! How can I relax!?"

He just stood there silently, before glaring at me. "Fine. Be that way. I was just trying to help, but if your going to be rude, you don't need it." He said walking past me. I panicked, I didn't want to be alone. I ran to catch up with him.

"Wait, wait, wait! Spyro please!" I pleaded. "I'm sorry I-... I'm just trying to processes this. All of this. I didn't mean to yell."

He sighs, looking down. "I.. I forgive you. You have a right to.. be a little upset right now. Let's just get home before it gets too dark."

The sun set, and the moon rose lazily into the nights sky. The rest of the journey was met with nothing more than silence. An unwelcome one, but I had nothing more to say. I was too tired.

Finally we made it to a clearing with a large castle in the heart of it. I felt Spyro lift me up by the back of my shirt and fly up to one of the balconies. Once he set me down I asked, " Why'd you do that?"

"I didn't want to wake anyone." He said simply. "Follow me."

The hallways of the castle were dark, only lit by the moonlight leaking through the windows. Finally Spyro led me into a room. A small nest of pillows lay right in the heart of the room, and the walls were covered in nic nacs and books and weapons of all kinds. " This is my room, but for tonight, you can sleep in here."

"It's quite lovely." I admired. "Thank you."

"Your welcome. Now get some rest. You've had a long day." He said curling up in his bed. I looked around the room, before making myself comfortable in the window seat to the far left. I sat there staring out the window. Wondering what tomorrow would hold.

And my eyes slowly closed as I drifted off to sleep.
