Chapter 9:

Avalar is a beautiful land. The brightly colored autumn leaves danced around as we flew by. Finally Spyro landed in front of a beautiful pond. The water was crystal clear. I brushed my hand over the surface.

"Spyro!" Spoke the man before us. He was mix between a human and a Leopard, he stood on his two hind legs, and wore a quiver and bow on his back. He was followed by a rabbit woman wearing purple a cloak that wrapped around her body, and another young woman with the lower half of a goat.

"Spyro! Where did go to man? We were worried." The male said.

"Sorry guys, I got a little caught up in something." He said tilting his head towards me.

"Well I'll be.." The Rabbit woman spoke softly. "Fayra? My goodness you've grown."

"I can't really say the same for you." I replied. I don't remember much about them, but I do know that they look the same as when I last saw them. I think. "B...Bianca.. Right?" I asked. She nods her head.

"Don't you remember us?" The male asked.

"I doubt she would Hunter, she was really young at the time." Elora said. Elora! Right, right. That her name.

"Well ya that was a while ago but she shouldn't be this old." He got real close to me. Walking around while he examined me. "Are you really Fayra?" He asked suspiciously.

"I certainly hope I am." I answer jokingly.

"C'mon Hunter." Spyro said.

Then I heard a slight buzzing noise. A little yellow thing flew right past me, and stopped just a inch away from spyros face.

The little dragonfly just flew around spyros face, sounding like an angry bee. Spyro laughed. " Yes, yes. I get Sparks, I'm sorry I didn't show up yesterday, but I found an old friend." The little bug looked at, then flew over to me. Landing right on my nose, I was able to get a good look at him. He looked like your normal everyday dragonfly. Yellow body, big eyes, a bunch of little legs. Only difference was that he was glowing.

He squinted at me for a solid minute. Then he let out a little "Buzz!" And flew back to Spyro. "I don't think he likes me.." I said trying not to laugh.

" He's just in a bad mood today. He'll get over it." Spyro laughed, looking up at the little dragonfly resting on his head.

After a bit of idle chatter, they decided we'd talk over a picnic. So we sat by the lakes edge, on a red blanket. In front of me was a bowl of 'fruit.' Fruit I had never seen before, but it wouldn't hurt to try. "So, Fayra. How come you came back?" Elora asked.

"I.. Well I kinda came here by.. Accenident. You I was exploring this old cave with a friend of mine, and we found the portal. I got grabbed by a Gnorc on the other side, and ended up blacking out."

"Then word got out that she came back, and now Gnastys minious are after her." Spyro said, gnawing on lamb rib.

"What would Gnasty want?" Hunter asked.

"That's what we've been wondering too." I replied. Taking a bite out of the bowl of fruit I couldn't help but smile. It tasted so sweet. "What's in this?" I asked.

"Oh just simple stuff. Pear, apples, banna's. Why?"

"I was just wondering." They didn't taste anything like they do at home.

"Well I mean there are very few humans in Avalar, and now in the dragon realm. Maybe Gnasty found a spell that requires a human in some way?" Bianca offers.

" Like an ingredient?" I squeaked.

"Well maybe..?" Bianca shrugged.

"Bianca!" Elora said. "Are you trying to scare her?"

"Well we can't leave the option off the table." Bianca said.

"So what now?" I asked.

"I think the most important thing to do right now is to get the portal fixed." Spyro said.

"They broke the portal?" Hunter said.

"Afraid so." Spyro hummed. "We also need her to lay low for awhile."

" We also need to find out what Gnasty needs her for." Elora stepped in. "The more we know the better we can help."

"I can go spy on a his minions for awhile." Hunter offered.

"Hunter, I love you, but your not the best at stealth." Bianca said.

"Oh c'mon. Just once! Please!" He begged.

"May I interject here?" I mumbled. " I understand that it's a little dangerous for me right now, but I don't want to spend the next few.. However long it takes to get back home. I want to explore. Even if its dangerous."

"But what if your attacked again?"

"Then I'll learn to defend myself. I want to atleast have a fighting chance. I don't want to be stuck in a room somewhere. I'd be a sitting duck?"

"As opposed to a standing duck?"

"Hunter!"

"Sorry, sorry. I had to." He chuckled.

"She has a point." Elora said. "I wouldn't really like that either."

" … Alright. If that's what you want." Spyro said with a shrug. "It's getting late, and there's someone we still need to talk to." Spyro said getting up and shaking.

I nod and get up as well. "I suppose. It was wonderful seeing you." I smiled.

"You too!" Elora smiled. "We should hang out sometime again. Catch up a bit."

"Maybe even test to make sure your the real Fayra." Hunter squited. I laughed awkwardly and climbed on Spyro's back.

"Bye guys!" I said as we took off.

HAAAAA ok.

I know I said I'd upload a chapter everyday, but it should be known that I lie when it comes to these thing.

But ya I'm sorry! I had some writers block here. I'm trying to get use to writing these characters personality right! I'll get use to it eventually!

Thank you!
