33. Chapter 33: With Poison

Chapter 33: With Poison

Cynder smiled to her friend before looking to her finger and gasping. Everyone shivered as they wondered why, and once looked to her finger, they gasped too. The wound that she inflicted on herself was gone, and they all couldn't figure out how or why. Feeling the air grow rather heavy, they all stood up straight as they heard a voice speak from behind the line of girls, "Why was blood shedding from her?"

With the line of girls turning, Ersa and Volteer already saw who it was and let out gaps. With all the other girls turning around, they gasped as well to see who it was. Seeing the purple, orange, and golden colors, they all thought in unison, Spyro?! While his appearance was surprising, what was more so was the condition he was in. Slash marks showed to his face, wings, sides, and tail. Stains of blood showed to his head, mouth, nose, chest, and under his belly. He was dripping sweat with a more then average increase in breath. Seeing this beaten body of his, his rather worn out look, they all feared for what had happened, but Volteer chuckled as he saw this another way, "Damn, Spyro. That girl you were with really messed you up didn't see?" This got his attention, "She wore you out pretty badly didn't she? I'm assuming from the marks, she didn't want you though...?"

"I didn't force any one to have sex with me," Spyro growled to hear what he was implying, "I could've healed these wounds if I wanted to, but constantly relying on my dark power won't get me anywhere. Plus, the stronger I get in my base form, the stronger I become in my dark forms."

"So... You've been training?" Cynder murmured as it helped ease her to think he was.

He didn't answer her, but rather had a question for her instead, "Why were you bleeding?" Taking a couple of steps toward her, Spyro noticed Flair preparing for an attack, even sharpening her fins some, but he mainly focused to the blood from Cynder inside of the bottle Ersa's held, "Why do you need her blood? And if you did, you should've asked me first."

"Spyro, it's okay," She defended Ersa, "I wanted to do this... I was hoping to know my blood type in case you needed my blood during battle or something. I could help you even with recovery or something like that. Hehe, and I'm, sure with our darkness, you could just take the blood from my body so it would benefit you..."

"I would never put you in that kind of situation, especially considering the fact that if you gave me too much blood, it could case problems for you, such as become lightheaded or even worse," He was quick to decline which made her body shoot up with joy for some reason, and looking back to Ersa, he continued, "What exactly are you planning on doing with her blood?"

"Oh, mainly all things medical, to help with viruses or diseases and what not. I could get into more detail but, trust me when I say that having her blood is very beneficial," Ersa assured him, but this didn't really faze him as he seemed to stay neutral for the time being.

"Beneficial?" Spyro grumbled for some reason which confused the others as he was acting rather strange, "Flair..." Calling her name, her fins sharpened to their max point, and him approaching her as he spoke didn't help her, "Why exactly are you still fearing me?" Now walked to the end of the row, she ducked her head back some as she didn't appreciate his flexed out body, showing off his strength to her as if he was intimidating her, "I get that you don't trust me, but so did Ersa. If you have a problem with me, then you take it up with me. I know what it's like to live in constant fear..."

"Because of Cynder?!" She nipped.

"Because of the Dark Master," He stayed calm, wishing his efforts wouldn't provoke her any further, "You need to trust us and let go of these fears. Even I still fear the Dark Master, but holding onto that fear will only make your life worse... So, loosen up," Bringing up a paw and using his darkness, he waved a paw across her face, sending her body upright as she gave wide eyes, scaring the others as they didn't know what he had done, but once his paw touched back to the ground, he explained, "Your body is entirely too tense, your heart is beating close enough to cause yourself a heart attack, and you putting strain on your body will just make these problems worse... I've helped loosen up these problems by using my darkness to comfort you, but it won't last forever."

Feeling comfortable as she normally did with Cyril, this comfort helped her ease her fins back down to a resting position, and now she was able to freely say how she felt, "I don't trust any of you, and for many reasons... I don't like Ersa's abilities to know all of my body, I don't like that Ignitus knows my entire past, and I especially don't like this Bullshit act you put on to Cynder. You act high and mighty, and your power unfortunately backs that up. Everything about you doesn't sit right with me, and I hate almost everything about you."

"Let's get one thing straight," His voice turned to a growl, getting her back into a defensive mode, and seeing this, he backed off some, "I'm nothing like the Dark Master. Everything I do, I do to protect. Everything I do for Cynder, I do out of the love and care I have for her. I get you're scared of my power, but as long as you don't cause problems, and you don't act up around here, you have nothing to worry about."

"So you wish to keep us on some leash to keep us in check? And if we disagree, we get punished?"

"Problems mean death, acting up means you hurting or killing someone!" Spyro once again corrected her, but his show of teeth didn't sit right with her, "You put rules on Cyril and that was fine, yet I can't put rules on you? Pretty hypocritical don't you think?"

"I put my rules cause I'm afraid of being hurt again! I put my rules cause I don't want to have to relive the mistakes of my past!" Flair fought against him, though, as she did, she started to shiver, showing both her fears and weaknesses which she knew he was watching, "What?! You think I fear you, 'cause I don't! You've seen who I was, you've seen what I can be! If anyone's scared, it should be you, not... Not... me..."

Seeing this weak side to her made everyone frown, and Spyro himself pointed this out, frowning even as he spoke on it, "Just like me, we all have a weak side to us, Flair, and I get that..." She didn't wish to listen to what he had to say, but he still kept trying as he knew of her fears, and understanding them made it easier for him to help her, so he switched his frown to a smile, "Hey, Flair... Thank you for your help though..." This got her to raise her head as she wondered what he was talking about, "Before I came here, I checked to make sure the Guardians were okay, and thankfully enough, Cyril and everyone in the Chambers were laughing and smiling, and Cyril's joy, is all thanks to you..."

Turning her head away from him, he still smiled to her, hoping that one day she would learn to trust them, "I know it's a lot to ask, but, listen... If you have a fear, something that needs to be dealt with that you don't think anyone else can deal with, you tell us. We as a family will help you, and if it's someone who's hurt you that you couldn't fight, I can deal with your past for you..."

"I don't need you..." Flair growled, but luckily for him, what she said next still got somewhere, "Cyril is all the help I need... You just keep yourself in check... And all because you're stronger then Cynder doesn't mean anything..."

Having brought this up, they all realized what she was doing aside from Spyro, and this was a perfect way to get out the other side of him that he was suppressing, "HAHA! Hahaha!" Letting out this laugh confused everyone as to why he would act in such a way, but for Flair, this laugh felt maniacal, and it took Spyro a second to calm down before he could continue, "Hehe, hehehe... Sorry, sorry, I just... Hehe... Who told you I was stronger the Cynder? You do know what she's capable of right? Hehe, I knew keeping you around would be a great idea. Hey, tell you what; You think you could tell that same joke to the others out there? I bet they'd laugh their friggen heads off."

"Stop lying to yourself!" Flair yelled, "You clearly know you are, so why the hell are you acting like you're not?!"

"Hehe, alright, alright-alright-alright. Do you want me to fight Cynder and prove you wrong?"

This got everyone to give wide eyes, but for Cynder, she already licked her lips in anticipation as she knew exactly what this was going to mean for her. Although Flair didn't approve, he still proceed to walk over to Cynder, and the others watched closely on what may or may not happen. Reaching the front of her, he puffed out his chest as intimidation, and she raised a brow to this. Moving up to his chest, she got nearly nose to nose to him even though she was slightly shorter then him, but she still tried her best. Looking to his neck, while wounded, she found a spot that would be perfect for what she wished to do. Moving her head down and avoiding his wounds, she brought out her tongue and licked him up his neck. Letting out a painful yet fake cry, he fell down onto the floor, "UGH!"

Flair growled as she saw what the two were doing, but she couldn't say anything on it as Spyro continued with his show. On his side and a paw to his chest, his body tensed up as he cried, "Damn... it...! She... she poisoned me...! I... I can't fight it...!" With Cynder walking up to his side, while she gave an evil smirk, he tried to stay in character and not smile back, "Please, please, Cynder, I... I give...! I'm so sorry for questioning your authority...! I... I swear, it won't ever happen again...!"

"Hehe, oh, no no no," Reaching her head down to his lips, she wished to finally get what she's been waiting for, "I'm going to make you suffer for what you did."

His joking manner disappeared as she went for the kiss. Taking up a claw, he put it to her lips, causing not only her, but everyone else to give wide eyes. Sighing for what he was having to do, he took his claw back and pulled himself back up off the ground. Backing up as to give him room, they all now saw he turned back to a serious look and tone, "Cynder..." Sighing herself, she backed up from him which he noticed, "Please just... Hold off a little longer..." Looking her in the eyes, she wondered why, but of course, he didn't wish to give a reason, "I'm... Trying... I swear... I know I'm almost ready for your surprise, I just need... I just need a little more time. Please, just give me that..."

"I'm... assuming you aren't going to tell me what the surprise is?" Cynder murmured, and just so he knew, she murmured once again, even giving off a rather sad giggle, "Hehe... You know... My lips are getting pretty dry over here without my Purple Guardian..."

"And I will fix that, I swear..."

"Spyro, if this is about our parents, I..."

"It's not our parents..." Spyro was quick to reject, "As you said to me... As long as I have you, I'm happy... Unfortunately, What I'm going through right now, you can't help... It's something I have to do on my own... And like I said, I only need a little more time, and then I will finally be able to appease you, please you, and pleasure you..."

Once again letting off a sigh, she still held onto hope, "You know being with me would do all of that..."

"I know... And I will make up for that..."

"I thought you said you wouldn't put training before me?" She smirked, "From the looks of it, you're training. But why?"

Ducking his head some as he couldn't help but be stained with a frown now, he knew of his mistake, but he knew this was something he needed to do, "Because I'm trying to make up for not being a perfect lover to you..." Even for someone like Volteer and Ersa, they couldn't understand what he was doing or even going through, so all they could do was trust in his words, "Just... Of course, when ever you need me, call. And if you wish to come and visit me, I'll be in the Training Room. Just... Make sure to be careful if you do... Okay...?"

Nodding her head, she agreed with him for now, "You know you're gonna be up all night biting my neck for this, right?"

"Hehe," He chuckled, glad his love was helping even with how she felt, "Trust me... I will make sure to make a bite like that even more pleasurable."

"How?!" She cried, "It was already amazing enough!"

Smiling to hear her say, he walked up to her, placed a paw to the back of her head, and pushing it forward, he kissed her forehead. Letting off a sigh, Cynder thought to herself, I will have you again. Backed up from the kiss, the two smiled to one another. Turning to his left and facing the door, his body grew in a dark color before disappearing in an instant. Now with him gone, all eyes were to Cynder as they wondered how she would've reacted to this situation, but luckily, it seemed like talking with him did help calm her, "At least I know where he is now, so... For the time being," Turning herself back around and facing Ersa, she wished to continue, "Shall we keep going with this blood type thing?"

"Oh, sure," Ersa agreed, and looking to the other girls as now they all turned back to face her, she asked them all, "Would you all be so kind as to give me drops of your blood for a test?"

While all the girls nodded, Flair still wasn't so sure herself, and knowing everyone was waiting on her, she looked away from them. Thinking about whether or not this was a good idea, she knew the best thing to do now was to think of what Cyril's spoken to her about.

---

"Hehe, well, this will be rather difficult cause, once you see Malefor again, you'll want to kill him, and every second you can't will only frustrate you. I'm all for you killing him to make you happy, Hehe, and I'm sure Spyro would be too. It's just Carith that you'd have to worry about," Cyril chuckled on the topic.

"Well... If I ever really want friends again... I'm just going to have to learn to live with it," Flair murmured lowly.

"It's... Nice... to hear you say that."

"What?"

"That you're wishing to fit in with everyone and call this home, even if you did already say that."

"Today is the day where I will be testing the waters around here, that's for sure."

---

These thoughts helped bring herself down now as she did feel at ease thinking about her conversations with Cyril. Looking down to the ground now, they all watched as they could see she wanted to speak but couldn't quite get the words out yet. Struggling as she tensed up, she let off a sigh as to loosen herself up some and was finally able to speak on it, "Fine... You can have my stupid blood... But if this comes back to bite me..."

"It won't," Ersa smiled which Flair saw, "That is a promise, as a friend to you, and like many more promises I shall make to you, I will keep."

---

"Hehe, yeah. But it's just another reason I hate the old days, that's for sure," Malefor chuckled as talking about the past he didn't care really much on, it was funny to him how he even lasted back then, "But, hey, I'm going to head up to the Training Room to keep the past just that. And just out of curiosity, what will you three be doing?"

"More then likely, sleeping. Unless you'd like us to join you," Terrador was the one to answer surprisingly to the others.

"Hehe, naw man. How I'm going to be training, it requires a man's skill, not a females."

"You know, the one good thing that I could already see coming out of me and Trish being mates is how embarrassed she'll make you and everyone else when she starts talking about my manly parts."

"Manly? That's the best word you could come up with?"

"What? Would you rather me say my di..."

"NO!" Ignitus stopped him rather immediately, and hearing this got him to sigh as well as he didn't understand what was going on, "You know, ever since that inappropriate conversation between Ersa and Volteer yesterday, why has everyone been acting so naughty? I mean, Volteer and Ersa are nothing new, but now we have you and Trish, Terrador. Then we have Malefor trying to mate with Carith, Cyril grabbing Flair's ass, me and Claire, and even my own son!"

"Tonguing it up with Cynder," Malefor snickered, "Oh young love."

"You're gross," Cyril grumbled.

"You say that, but once you and Flair start getting down and dirty, you'll change your mind," For some reason that the others didn't understand, Cyril didn't respond back to what Malefor had said, though his only real response was a rather sad yet rested aggressive face for some reason, "Anyway," Getting up from where he sat, he turned to his left before waving a paw, "I'll see you all later. Gotta help out Spyro with this peace."

With Malefor walking out of the Chambers, he turned to his left and proceeded down the hallway, but once passing the door to Ersa and Volteer's room, he stopped, turned, and faced the door. Putting a claw up to his chin, he rubbed it as he thought, After what the others told me about, maybe being more vocal would help her... Even though I don't want her to leave me... But she seemed rather excited having possibly mated with me so... Hmmmm. Thinking of an idea, he took the claw from his chin and snapped his fingers upwards as he had an idea. Perfect! Snickering to himself, Malefor reached a paw up to the door and knocked on it. As he did, he spoke with hopes that the one he wished to answer would be his female, "Knock Knock..."

No one had answered for some time, getting him to grumble, but thankfully to him, his attitude quickly turned joyful as someone answered, that being Carith, "Who is it...?"

"YES!" Yelling out loudly, he cleared his throat before continuing with his joke, "Ahem... I'm gonna eat."

It grew quiet once again for a couple of seconds before he got a response, "I'm gonna eat who?"

"I'm gonna eat you out if you don't open this door," He was quick to use his joke.

While he snickered from behind the door, he didn't hear if they had reacted at all, and it took some more time before anyone even answered the door afterwards. While he was still chuckling, the door did open, but it wasn't who he was expecting it to be. Instead, it was Cynder whom had opened it, and behind her was Claire, both blushing for what he had said. He was confused as to why they had answered, but Cynder helped clear up that confusion, "Hehe, you uh... Kinda broke Carith with hopes..."

"Cynder!" Carith growled from the background.

"She wants to know, even though we opened the door, will you still go through with what you said to her," Claire giggled.

"CLAIRE!" Now taking action to the two girls, she stood by the right of the two, and Malefor looked to his left to see her, "Alrighty! I think you girls have done enough, thank you!" Pushing her way past Cynder, the two girls giggled as they backed into the room, and for Malefor, he had to back away as Carith had walked out, turned, and shut the door behind herself, sighing to those two, "Absolutely evil..." Turning herself back around now, she looked to her left and right side to check the hallway, and with no one around, she wondered, "So, disregarding whatever those two were doing, is there something you wanted to talk to me about?"

"Oh, yeah. I just wanted to tell you where I was headed, which of course is going to be the Training Room."

"What?" Carith asked in confusion, "What do you need to train for?"

"Hehe, to get stronger of course, why else?"

"It's just odd to me that you wouldn't want to keep harassing the Guardians or doing something else like... Making a dark army or something."

"Well, after those dragons gave me up, I gotta watch my footing around here, so now I have to get Spyro to re-trust me in a way," Giving a slight frown as she was hoping it was for another reason, the frown was small enough for him to not really notice, and so, he simply waved a paw up as he turned to his left and walked away from her, "Hopefully I won't die while I'm up there..."

Not able to hold her words any longer, Carith cried out as she ran up to him, "Malefor, wait!" Getting him to stop, he looked to his right to see her next to him, and even as she blushed, she needed an answer, "Listen... This is once again about... Last night..." This got him to look away from her some as he even frowned, but she kept on the advance with her quick words, "I just want to know if that meant something to you, anything at all... And of course, while I can't say yes or no to us being... mates... I just, need to know... Do you... Hate me afterwards for even letting that happen?" Still, she hadn't gotten an answer, and since she couldn't really read how he felt towards the situation, she sighed, feeling a slight pain to herself, "Malefor..."

"Carith..." Speaking her name, she lifted her head in hopes she would finally get the answers she wished for, and surprisingly, he provided, "It doesn't matter if I want a Hatchling or not. Like it or not, the Dark Master is still apart of me, and until I know for a sure-fire-fact that he can't hurt you or our Hatchling, I can't give you an answer either if we should be mates..." This got her eyes to widen some as it felt like he was leaning more towards a yes, and if not for the Dark Master, maybe she would've already been his mate, "And... If I'm being honest..." Smirking with an evil intent, she raised a brow as she wondered what he was to say, "Maybe I would've liked for us to have at it, or maybe not, but I just wonder what your input would be..." Growling in a low tone to him, he kept teasing her while still keeping himself from revealing too much, "I mean, it does take like, nine months for a Hatchling to be born, and I know I'll have control over the Dark Master at that point but, it's up to you, not me."

Blushing but still trying to growl, Carith unfortunately failed and wasn't able to do anything against his words, "Damn you, Master Malefor."

"Hehe, then I guess us being mates will stay up in the air until you say something."

Just to tease her even more, he ducked his head forward and kissed her lips. She was too busy growling at him, and by the time she was ready to kiss him back, he pulled away, which only frustrated her more. Seeing these mixed feelings of love and anger, he continued his way down the hallway before waving a paw behind himself and saying, "I love you, Carith."

Carith didn't contain her teeth as she looked to him, thinking on what he's done and what he's said, You damn tease... It's like you know! Turning away from him, she walked back to the door. Once to the door and having it opened, she headed back into Ersa and Volteer's room. As she did, almost everyone looked to her, and once Ersa put a bottle back to the table, she looked to her as well. Slamming the door behind herself, they all gave wide eyes to this, watching as she tensed before finally letting loose how she felt, "THAT SON OF A BITCH ASS HANDSOME MOTHER LOVER!" Her use of words got them to look at one another before looking back at her to see her struggling as she sat there, looking to her paws in rage, "He knows it, HE KNOWS IT! He knows I want him, he knows I want to be his mate! And he keeps teasing me on it!"

"Then... Why don't you just ask him to be your mate?" Trish wondered in a rather innocent tone.

"NO!" Carith yelled out, causing Trish to duck her head back, "I have a better idea... I'll just take what's owed to me, what I deserve, and after I give him the best night of his life, he'll be the one calling me his mate first! Then this whole little plan of his will backfire, like all the other ones before... But now the question is, how will I... seduce... him?"

"Hehe," Giving a giggle, fears immediately ran through everyone's mind as they heard Ersa speak, "I seduce Volteer by showing him my..."

"ERSA!" The girls all cried while Volteer blushed, and knowing she'd be able to shut her up, Flair growled, "I don't care if you say body or not, but I don't care to hear it... Any way," Looking back to Carith, she had questions of her own for her, "So, Carith. You know he wants to be your mate yet you're sitting on it," Hearing Volteer chuckle, he whispered something to Ersa which got her to blush rather furiously before hitting his chest with her paw, and sighing, she tried her best to ignore the two, "What's the problem with just telling him to be your mate right now? Hopefully you can keep that dumbass away from all of us for a day."

"HA!" Volteer laughed, "Me and the Guardians were the same way. Getting that one day without him was a blessing, which is why we LOVED when Carith would come by and take him away."

"Poor dragon," Ersa giggled.

"Because it has a lot more meaning then just a simple, 'hey, can I be your mate' kind of deal," Carith explained, and after what Malefor had said to her, she sighed as she brought it back up to the others, "Plus... He finally spoke about that night and told me that he's... scared... Because... If we become mates, he's afraid something would happen to me or our Hatchling, and until he has full control over the Dark Master, he doesn't want to put me at risk..."

While the other girls and even Volteer frowned to hear this, Flair being her usual self growled to this, "Ah, so he's still a threat..." This got her to frown even more as she knew almost everyone saw him this way, and even though Flair knew he wasn't, seeing all these frowns as she looked all around the room, she yelled out, "Stop worrying!" Hearing her growl and seeing her teeth, the others picked up their heads, "Is that not what Spyro is for?! Is that not what his friends are for?! So, all of you, stop feeling sympathetic for that dumb ass dragon. If he's trying and he knows he can control the Dark Master, then why are you all so afraid?!" This helped everyone to smile as her words picked up everyone's spirits, and putting two and two together, it helped even more, "If he needs help controlling his dark power, he'll go to Spyro, who has even more of a hold and control over his dark power. So, all of you, stop being so mopey. I hate acting mushy to others."

Giving a giggle to hear this, Claire picked on her as she remembered what Flair had said to Cyril, "Hehe, you say that, but, Hmmm, what was it you said in the Chambers? Oh yeah, 'After last night, he felt more like a fire dragon when he melted my heart with his words'," Giving widened eyes, Flair knew that would come back to bite her, "And what was that about how you and him making the best decision of your lives last night?" Now picking on her, she started to show her teeth, which Claire noticed and took a step back, "Hehe, sorry, sorry, it's just, it's crazy how different you can be some times."

"And is that a problem?!" Flair yelled to her out of frustration, trying to conceal her blush with the wrinkles she showed from this anger.

"Hehe, of course not," Claire smiled, "It makes you one of the most interesting dragons I've ever met. Though, it feels rather... Painful, to know that these different changes and emotions come from a trauma we don't know about..." This got her to widen her eyes before frowning and turning away to the view of the others, and feeling bad for saying, Claire apologized, "Oh... Flair, I didn't mean to... Bring up the past..." She didn't say anything to her, and knowing the only way to get her back was for her to see Cyril again, so she looked to Ersa and asked her, "Hey, Ersa, how long will these blood tests take so we can head out and start poisoning everyone?"

"Oh, well, blood tests do take some time, though of course not that long for me and Volteer," Ersa answered her, and having a little thought on it, she knew how to proceed, "In any case, I'd say this is a good time to call on Ignitus's clone to get the information I need, which, since he knows I'm talking about him, he should show up... Right...? Ignitus...?"

"I'm scared to know what this, poison, is," A voice spoke from the side of Cynder, and as everyone looked down the line to the right, Ignitus showed up to assist, "You're very, very good with mind control, and even for a Chronicler, you are very unique. It's crazy to me how you even control drifting thoughts. Then again, more than half of your thoughts are about you and Volteer so, I guess you have something to focus on. And before you make a joke, I don't care how big Volteer is and that's what is blocking your mind."

"Hehe, Damn, beat me to it."

"First, to get this off my chest, Volteer..." Sighing at his friend, Volteer wondered what he had done to get his red friend to sigh so heavily, "You gave her... Our blood types..." Letting out an 'oh', he chuckled afterwards as he was busted for what he had done, now having said it and reminding Ignitus of it, "Anyway, I shall give you the blood types of everyone since you'll find out anyway," Wondering whom he'd focus on first, he got Flair out of the way first in hopes the other girls blood types would eclipse her feeling of discomfort for having her blood type known, "Flair's A-positive, Carith, Claire, and Malefor are all O-positive, Trish is AB-positive, and finally, Cynder and Spyro's blood are both O-Negative."

"Really?!" Ersa and Volteer cried in surprise, and she followed up on this surprise, "So, Spyro can really help out anyone in this world... Hehe, and that's crazy too though cause that means you as well could help the world with your blood the same, Cynder..."

"Is that... A good thing?" Cynder giggled as she didn't understand what that meant, "I don't know these blood types and their meaning all that much."

"Well, let's just say, your hopes to help Spyro and everyone else out has come to fruition. Your blood can go to any one of ours, and you can only receive blood from Spyro! And with all this information, it's rather... Amazing! I mean, Trish," Looking to her with a surprised look, Ersa was excited about this news, "It's crazy to hear that you and Terrador have the same blood types, and a good thing too! You both can give and receive blood from one another!"

This got Trish to give wide eyes, blushing even as she liked the sound of this, "Re... Really...?"

"But of course, since Spyro and Cynder have O-negative blood, they could give you their blood, but you wouldn't be able to do the same for them..." Gasping wide as it all fit together for her, the others gave wide eyes from this sudden gasp, except for Volteer as he already put the pieces himself together, "That's... THAT'S CRAZY!" Laughing out loud, she told them all of her realisation, "All of you, your males, and you, are all supporters to each other!" Still having the others confused, she explained more in-depth, "Here-here-here... Let's go back... Carith, you and Malefor since having the same blood type, you both can give and receive blood from one another. Claire and Ignitus are also O-positive so they are the same, and for Trish and Terrador, they are both AB-positive, so they can give and receive from one another as well. Me and Volteer are B-negative so we are the same, and for Flair and Cyril, those two both have A-Positive blood as well, which of course means they can both give and receive from each other!" While a lot of information to process, as she did speak on it, it made sense, and to finally finish up with all that she had to say, she ended on the last two, "And finally! You have Cynder and Spyro, both with a perfect blood type of O-negative, which once again means that they..."

"Can both give and receive," Everyone said in unison, and now knowing all this, it was rather surprising to all of them of how this lined up.

"Hehe, you're very lucky too, Cynder," Volteer wished to speak up as to give his mate some time to breath on all of this, "O-negative can only receive blood from that specific blood type, no others, which colors me rather impressed," This got her to smile rather widely as she was happy to hear she would be able to support everyone, and it even got her tail to wag some, "Hehe, I guess that means all of the females were destined to be with the males that they're with."

"Don't use that word," Flair suddenly grew aggressive to one word in particular, and she wanted it to be known, "'Destined'... It's Bullshit."

Swallowing hard, he saw her fins sharpening, so he didn't go against her. Smiling as she turned to face her table, Ersa grabbed a bottle from the top of what looked like a circular cup holder on the table. Perfect... Now it's ready. Working a little more behind the scenes, she moved all the bottles of blood to the middle of her table and started to work on the poison. Using a dropper, she pulled a small circular cup over to her. The cup contained yellow like liquid, and once near her, she put the dropper into the liquid, squeezed, and watched as it traveled up and into the dropper. Once collected, she carefully moved it to one of the bottles on the table before squeezing the back of the dropper very carefully and letting a single drop go into the bottle. While she continued her work, Ersa spoke as she looked up to the ceiling, inspecting the bottom of her bottle as she held it to the air, "Ah... Okay... Oh, and, Ignitus; thank you for your time. You can leave now."

"Hehe, Damn. Getting rid of him so quickly?" Claire giggled.

"Don't want him to see what the poison does now do we. Once I use it, I want him to fear for his main body, that's for sure."

"Uuuuuuuuh... Ahem," Clearing her throat, the way she phrased it made the girls fear even more now, and Cynder had to ask, "What Uh... What do you uh... Mean by, fear for his body?" Ersa simply giggled as she continued her work, and this kept the fears they had as all the girls looked to one another in panic, "That was the scariest giggle I've ever heard in my life."

"Oh don't worry. The worst possible side effect is just a tight feeling to the neck that could possibly cause a squeeze on your muscles so hard that it could decapitate you."

"WHAT?!" Now everyone cried as this didn't sound safe at all.

"Anyway," Ersa giggled, and once grabbing her satchel, she pulled it up and off the table before throwing it over her left shoulder, "I think it's about time we head out and test these suckers," Grabbing the five bottles off the table, she put one by one in her satchel pouch, and once all five were placed, she flipped the lid over the top and turned to face the others, "So," Seeing that Ignitus had disappeared, she smirked as now her plan was put into action, "Even though Ignitus will know what we're doing, Claire, tell that clone that if he warns anyone of what we're doing, you will dump him."

"Ersa... Look, I trust you, but..." Claire was now rather hesitant as to what she was doing.

"Girls! I'm joking!" Ersa finally helped calm them, "Hehe, I just wanted to get a little scare is all. Mainly because, seeing the reaction of Flair to Cyril's possible death is rather cute."

"WH...?!" Flair growled, "It's because I will be the cause of his death, not some stupid shit side effects!"

"Hehe, well, before we head out," Looking to Volteer, she smirked to him, and seeing this smirk from Ersa, Volteer sighed.

"I'm the first victim of this poison... Aren't I?"

Kissing him to his cheek, he let off a sigh as he knew that was a yes. Pulling back from the kiss, Volteer growled with a smile as he already knew what she had done, "I saw what you were making..." Giving a raised brow to him, she wondered if he really was to figure it out before something happened, and of course, he did, "Reactionary forces: Combined my blood, the kiss to my cheek which will connect slowly to my nervous system before causing a permanent stretch and flex of my wings..." Just as he said this, his wings shot out from both sides to a full extend, and to avoid this, she had scooted forward some as he was speaking to her, "Your plan to test the trust for the others is to scare them with the effects of the supposed poison. You tell them what could happen, and once their wings extend, you tell them how you all knew of possibly deadly side effects, like your wings stretching too far and popping off."

Having nailed everything that she was attempting to do down to the smallest detail, Ersa was in awe, but also rather aroused, "I don't care how you take me, just take me..." Ersa purred, unbelievably happy to hear he got everything she was doing correctly, and now to elaborate some more, she looked to Claire, "This is why I want Ignitus to be in the dark. You know all of this, Claire, and once you tell Ignitus the truth about how you knew all of this, we can see how he reacts. And it will be the ultimate slap to the face too because, in reality, you already knew he'd be fine, which is why you even went through with it in the first place."

"Oooooooooh... Okay," The girls all sighed rather heavily in unison as this helped them all clam down now.

Walking in front of Volteer, Ersa checked out his body from all sides now, and seeing this, he smirked as he knew why. Giggling as she looked up at him, she rubbed her chest against his as she closed in, nuzzling him rather lovingly, but more in a sexual way. Backing up from him only slightly, she put a paw to his chest before easing it down, teasing him as she licked her lips, "You know, even with how big and, thick, your wings are, they pale in comparison to your di..."

"ERSA!" Everyone immediately cried.

"What?!" She cried as she turned to all of them, "Let me have fun with my dragon!"

Hearing him chuckle, Ersa looked back as he whispered to her, "Hehe, it's crazy though cause, even though that poison is supposed to harden my wings, apparently you've also caused something else to harden as well..."

"VOLTEER!" The girls all yelled to him now, turning all their faces to that of red dragons.

"I was talking about my tail," Volteer defended himself.

"No you weren't," Ersa called him on his lie.

"Hehe, yeah, I wasn't... Want to stay and, help me?"

"Hmmmm... Tempting..."

"Hehe, well, not to ruin the mood but... I'm going to start working on an antidote."

"For the poison?"

"No, for you."

"Why do I need one."

"Just... in case... I don't know what could've happened and what kind of chemicals you could've inhaled that would've harmed you. So, I'm going to make sure you're at a hundred and ten percent," This got her to smile before having to nuzzle up his neck which got him to purr, and once she pulled back to look him in the eyes, the two smiled to one another, "If you notice any kind of pain, lightheadedness, or just, anything unusual, come straight back here, okay?"

Shedding a tear, she thanked you, "I will, my love... Thank you..."

He smiled back to her, "Of course."

Nuzzling one another for a couple of seconds, Ersa rested her head to the side of Volteer's, thinking to herself, even though she wish she would've said it out loud, Thank you for making me your mate. Taking her head back away from him, she looked to the girls, and once walked past the front of Volteer, she made her way to the door, "Alrighty girls! Let's get this day going!" Making her way to the door, the others turned to follow behind her, and already mapping out the plan, she spoke on it as she opened the door, "Okay, so we know Spyro and Malefor are going to be in the Training Room, so that's going to be an easy twofer," With the door opened, she pushed it out into the hallway and walked out of her room, still explaining what was to happen, "It shouldn't be too hard to separate our other three targets," Walking to her left, she took some steps to the Chambers, and once stopped, she turned around and saw the other girls now all made it to the hallway, "So, now the question is, who will be the first target? Ignitus, Terrador, or Cyril?"

"If we're thinking about this strategically, we should definitely go with Terrador first, and maybe Ignitus last," Claire suggested as she believed to have the best strategy, "If we poison Ignitus first, he might warn the others, and while I know I can get him to keep his lips closed, there's a rather high chance he'll retaliate in order to bring out my evil side."

"Sounds like a plan. So, first, Terrador, then Cyril, and finally, Ignitus. Are we all in agreement?" Getting nods from all the girls, Ersa was ready herself as she smiled, "Sweet. Though, before we continue, I should explain how this poison works," Looking to her satchel, she popped open the top of it before reaching in and grabbing one of the bottles, and once pulled up and out, she showed it to them, "To make this simple, I made the color of the poison the color of you all because it makes it easier to distinguish. I couldn't make the color based on your lover's since, well, there's two purple dragons and that would be confusing. But basically, before you, attack, your target, you're going to want to put the liquid either on your lips or your paw. This will put the poison in a reactionary stage, meaning, once it touches anything else, hopefully scales, it will later cause their wings to flick outwards before clicking shut in a way. If you put it on your lips, do, not, lick them, or else it will backfire to you. And if you put it to your paw, do, not, touch, any other part of your body with that claw or finger. Understood?" The girls all nodded to her, getting her to smile as she knew they could continue, "Alright, then let's..." Turning around, she stopped as she bumped into someone, and once backed up, she apologized, "Oh, sorry..." Seeing who it was now, Ersa smirked rather wide which made him raise a brow, "Oooooooh... Hello... Terrador."

"Hi... Ersa..." Looking to her paw, he noticed the bottle with a red looking liquid inside of it and questioned her, "So, uh... What are you doing with that bottle there?"

"Bottle?" Giggling as she put it back to her satchel, she closed it shut, "What bottle? There's no bottle."

"Uh... huh..."

"So, hey, Terrador, do you know where the other Guardians are or, are they waiting in the Chambers?"

"We split up after Malefor left. Ignitus said he wanted to think to himself in the Sleeping Chambers, and Cyril just simply said he wanted to go to the most comfortable and calming place in the world. We saw him take a right out of the Chambers which I'm sure means he just went to Flair's room."

"Awwwwww," The girls teased her, getting Flair to show her teeth.

"Ah. So you're all by yourself right now?" Ersa raised a brow.

"No..." Terrador backed up away from her now, "The... Wind... Is around... me."

"You know I am too, Terrador," Trish spoke up from the girls in the back, and making her way up to the front of the group, she knew it was her turn to take action, "You know, I was wondering if you could get a room with me real quick, some where away from the others hopefully..."

Peaking out from the door as the girls didn't close it, Volteer chuckled to see Terrador down the hall, "Hehe, Oh man. Poor Terrador's gonna be the first target."

"But weren't you the first target?" Cynder giggled as she was right next to the door, and her words got Volteer to grumble.

Seeing Volteer peaking his head out of the door, Terrador looked over to him and asked out of fear, "Volteer... You wouldn't happen to know what's going on here, would you?"

"And why would I?" Volteer asked, even though he knew everything.

"How about you come out here and talk to me about something else then?"

"Going back!" Interrupting the two before anything was said, Trish acted fast.

Moving somewhat ahead of the two and passing by Terrador's right, she made her way to the door closest to the left of the Chambers. Making it to the door, she grabbed the door knob, twisted it, and once pushed open, she looked back to Terrador whom was looking behind himself to see what she was doing, "May you please join me?" Seeing him sigh, he turned around and walked over to her, which she smiled on, "Don't worry. Being the first target isn't so bad."

"Hehe, yeah-First target? Did you just say first target?" Terrador swallowed hard as he stopped at the front of the door, "What do you mean first target?"

"Terrador," Trish of course stayed vague, smiling even just to scare him, "Get in the room."

Shivering now, more then he did before, in the background of it all, Ersa had opened back up her satchel and proceeded to grab a bottle from it. Seeing this, Trish saw the green bottle that Ersa had grabbed. Looking to see in the room real quick, Terrador made his way to the bed, and acting fast in case he turned around, she ran over to Ersa. With the crock popped off, Ersa angled the bottle to let the liquid drip down to Trish's lips. Thinking about it, Trish knew where the liquid should be, "Yeah, I'm going to go with the lips. I'm gonna kiss my dragon."

I'm going to die... I'm going to die, Terrador cried in his thoughts, not knowing anything that was to happen. Once turned around as he had made it to the bed, he caught a glimpse of Trish running back to the door. Once she was back to the door, she smirked over to him, taking rather seducing steps towards him. Trish put one paw to the front of the other while doing the same with the other paw and showing off her chest, "So, Terrador, I have to ask..." Getting him to once again swallow hard, she approached him, and once stood close to his chest, she whispered, "Do you trust me?"

Not having seen behind her, the other girls all looked from the doorway to see what was going on. Not really knowing what to say, Terrador simply chuckled before responding honestly, "Hehe, I mean... I... Still remember our night previously so I am... Trying..."

This got her to let out a gasp as now, she was thinking against it, That's right! I told him to trust me, and if I lie to him now...! Would that... destroy the only trust he has for me...? Would he not trust me afterwards? Now letting off a sigh, this was one way she knew of finding out how he felt to her, I love him... And I trust that... He'll see this as just... fun... I hope... Reaching up a paw and placing it to his chest, she pulled herself up before kissing him to his cheek. Letting out a slight groan, Terrador didn't realise how good it felt to be kissed by her, and the girls all watched in awe to this. Taking her lips back away from his cheek, she looked to see his smile, but even a little bit of concern. Shedding a tear, she thanked him, "Thank you... For that... But... Unfortunately..." Backing up off of him, she took a deep sigh and continued with the trust test, "I knew I could use that trust to my advantage..."

"What?!" He cried out.

Once done with his cry, his wings shot out, stiffening up and completely extending. Looking with wide eyes to both his wings, he strained and struggled as he attempted to close them, but no matter his attempts, he couldn't succeed. Looking to her with questions as his breathing kicked up, she made it even worse for what felt like herself mainly, "Ersa needed to test this... poison... And I knew since you were such a strong target, it would be good to test it on you. Though she did tell me the side effects which could be rather... deadly... Maybe even painful..." This now caused sweet to drip down his forehead as he feared that maybe something really was going to happen to himself, "I'm... Sorry... Terrador... I wanted to tell you, but not knowing of the poison supposedly makes it stronger, and maybe more effective in combat."

Even as scared as he was, something about himself told him that he didn't trust what she was saying, and he thought about it, No... No no no, that doesn't sound like her at all. Unless... Maybe this is a true side to her? As he thought on it, something from last night came back to mind as what she was doing now didn't sound like anything she would've possibly done.

---

With how she acted towards being in a relationship, even after the one she's been in, he had to ask her, "But... how...? After what you've been through... why would you trust that I could be the one for you?"

"Hehe, well, it's mainly because of... your fears," This confused him, but with her explanation, it made sense, "What you fear, I fear the same. But because of your fears, I know I don't need to be afraid. You're scared to be betrayed by the one closest to your heart, and I'm the same. But because I know you'd never do something like that, it helps calm me. I know you wish for a loving relationship, and I wish for one as well, so it helps calm me to know that... Being with you is... really, what I want... The only real fear I have is ones you're uncertain about... Like the one about trusting me to be in a relationship with you..."

---

Thinking back to that entire night with her... This doesn't sound like something she would do. Rather then hold these thoughts to himself, Terrador had to speak out about them, even chuckling now as he didn't believe it, "Hehe, yeah, I don't believe this supposed poison is going to cause me any harm," This got her to give wide eyes as she wondered why he would think this, and he blushed on it as he spoke of last night, "After last night, you wanted nothing more then to be better; perfect, compared to those females. You'd never hurt me, and just the same as you, it calms me to know that, you, nor I, would ever hurt one another," With Trish shedding a tear, he caught on to what was happening now with the helps of last night, "There's no side effects, are there? You're just using this to see if I do have trust for you?" Backing off from him now, he smiled to her, "Hehe, well, after last night, I've definitely developed more trust then any female I've been with... after so long too... And it's to you... because of you..."

Not expecting such a turn around, the girls in the back looked to one another with just as much surprise as the others. His words sent nothing but sad yet joyful shocks throughout her body and mind, forcing her to run back up and hug him, getting him to smile as well as she cried over his shoulder. To make conversation in the back with the other girls, Ersa giggled as she looked to them, "So, what do you all say? Two weeks before those two becoming lovers?"

"Hehe," Hearing Terrador chuckle, the girls all looked to him, "You know... It's painful that I can't cover you with my wings right now."

"More like a week at the earliest," Claire made up a better time, which all the girls nodded on.

Pulling back from the hug, Trish giggled as she wiped a tear from her face, smiling to Terrador as she did so, "Hehe... I... Didn't expect that kind of reaction, that's for sure... And it was... A scary thought for me too... When I was about to poison you, I remember last night and was afraid you'd... Turn against me for my words..."

"You thought I'd use your words against you in an aggressive manner?" Terrador questioned.

"I mean... I've never really known anyone else aside from Ivan so... It was a fear of mine of course."

"Oh... Yeah... Him... Trish, I'm... sorry I brought that up."

"Hehe, it's okay, Terrador. Don't you remember what I said that's stopped ever since I started staying with you?"

"Are you talking about how you've stopped shivering?" Seeing the smile go across Trish's face, Terrador smiled back and was rather glad to have had this happened, "Well I'm... Glad you did what you did... And I'd be lying if I said what you did didn't help me trust you more so..." Even as Terrador sighed, he still made sure to keep a smile along with her, but looking to both his wings and noticing he was still unable to tuck them back to his sides, he had to ask, "But I... Hehe, I do have to ask... When does this wing extension end?"

"Oh..." Letting off a giggle, Ersa was honest, "I don't have an antidote on it, nor do I know the time of it's end so... Sorry..."

"Hehe... Well... Hell... That means I'm stuck in this room."

"Is that, a bad thing?" Trish murmured, knowing it would be her fault for his dismay.

"Not if you were in here with me," Terrador murmured with a slight smile.

While the girls to the back gasped, Trish gave wide eyes to see him smiling, to see his blush as he said what he did. Even as badly as she wished to, her mission wasn't over just yet, and she made a promise to him, "Terrador..." Speaking his name in a rather low tone, he could tell she was sacred and paid close attention to what she had to say, "Will you... Trust me if I say that... I'll be there for you... Later on tonight?"

Letting a smile show, he helped her even more, "I know I can, trust you saying you'll be there for me for the rest of my life."

Clenching her teeth and shedding another tear, she couldn't hold herself back as she cried, "Can I not just say I love you right now and kiss you?!" This got him to smile as she could see she was passionate about her words, caring as such as she knew not to push it, but she couldn't help herself, "I know you said to wait, and I know you said it would take time but...! All I want to do right now is show you I care, that I love hearing your voice and everything else about you... How... can I show that...?"

"Well..." Prepared for anything, it wasn't what she was expecting, though it still helped her sigh some, "If you are to, poison, someone else, could Claire do Ignitus next?"

Giving a giggle to his words, Claire spoke from the back, "Does Ignitus want me that bad? Cause I know I want him that badly."

"Hehe, yeah... Wait what?"

"Terrador..." Calling his name, he looked to Trish to see her tear, "Thank you for... Last night."

"Hehe, you woke me. I should thank you."

"Are you... Sure I can't make out with you right now though?"

Having to let a frown show, unfortunately, he still didn't have that trust for her, "I'm... Sorry, Trish... After last night and, even now, I have a lot of trust for you, but... I'm..."

"Terrador, you're scared, and I get that," Seeing that she understood, he smiled, "Just... Make sure to be a good dragon and keep quiet while we go and destroy the remaining Guardians, okay?"

"Hehe. Who would've thought the Guardians would've all been taken down by love."

"You'd be surprised more on the benefits of loving someone though."

"Hehe, don't worry, Trish... Falling in love with you is a... Big consideration of mine right now," Seeing how big her smile got, she even let off a rather happy giggle, which got him to smile, "Just be careful with Ignitus. If Claire's the one that's going after him, there's going to be a rather... scary fight, between the two. Claws might be thrown around as well."

"A fight you say?" Claire smirked, "Then challenge accepted from my lover."

Now done with Terrador, Trish smiled to him before turning around and walking back over to the girls, "Then I guess I will see you tonight then, Terrador," The girls backed up some as she walked out from the door, but as she turned, she wished him a promise that even Terrador saw she was once again passionate towards from both her voice, and the way she stood her ground on it, "Though, don't get use to me saying your name too much, since here soon, I'll be saying 'my love'."

Letting an evil smirk show, Terrador called her out on something, "But if we are to be mates, don't you think later on, you'll be saying my name quite a lot? Or should I say, moaning, my name?"

"WH...?!"

"I'll talk to you later, Trish."

While Trish was in awe, Terrador made his way around and up to the bed to lay. Seeing this dumbstruck look on Trish's face, the girls knew they'd have to help push her to leave. Blocking her view of Terrador with her wing, Ersa wished for the others to continue the day, though she did giggle, "Hehe, don't do it, Trish. One thing it seems that all the males around here are good at is teasing their female. Don't fall for his tricks."

"He knows I want him," Trish grumbled, blushing as she was hopeful, "He, will, be, mine."

"Did I say one week?" Claire questioned herself, "Hehe, sorry, what I meant was tomorrow," Thinking about what Terrador had said though, it got her wondering as in a way, she kinda wished Ignitus would try such a thing, "But, about this, aggressive business between me and Ignitus," Looking to Ersa, she walked up next to her and asked her, "Hey, Ersa, can I see the bottle for me and Ignitus?"

"Oh," Seeing her next to her, she nodded, "Of course."

Flipping the top open, she reached into her satchel and grabbed a bottle from it. With the bottle in paw, she brought it up and out. Giving the bottle over, Claire grabbed it with a smile as she thought, Perfect. Taking the bottle with her, Claire made her way to the Sleeping Chambers sooner then the other girls. While the girls had fallen behind some, Flair was rather afraid of this news, not really knowing if what Terrador was saying was true or not. While the other girls were giggling to Trish wishing to take Terrador, Flair herself didn't bother as she told the others, "Hey, girls," Getting their attention, she sharpened her fins some and warned them, "If Ignitus does fight her, don't be surprised if I step in and do something. Or are you all just going to watch as she gets attacked by him out of fear of being attacked yourselves?" The girls looked to each other with wide eyes before all laughing out loud to what she had said, and this got her fins to sharpen even more, "What the hell is so funny?!"

---

Hey, is everything going okay over there? Clones? Laying to his bed in the Sleeping Chambers belly flat, Ignitus struggled to get into contact with his clones. It... It couldn't be Flint, could it?! This fearful thinking made him stand, though the more he thought on it, the more he went against it. No... He couldn't have possibly gotten so strong or even that corrupted in such a short amount of time. I need to just go and visit them. Even while to his thoughts, he was still able to see a blue dragoness walking up to him, and once seeing this, he broke from his thoughts to see it was Claire. With a smirk on her face, he swallowed hard as he wondered why the smile, and she read him like a book, "Can't get a hold of your clones?" Giving wide eyes to hear, she kept her smirk as she knew she had him, "Seems to me like you're in the dark, aren't you."

Grumbling with a low growl and a blush, Ignitus asked, "What are you up to?"

"Oh, nothing much."

Seeing past this lie, he noticed the bottle that she held to her left paw and wondered what it was for, "Oh yeah? Then what's that bottle you got right there?"

"Oh?" Bringing up the bottle and showing it to him, she shuck it just to show it off, "You mean this bottle?" Staying alert of his female, she proceeded to open it; popping the cork off the top with the help of her claws, and once opened, she placed the cork to the ground, continuing to tease him with what was to happen, "Why don't I show you, or better yet, let you experience, it?"

Watching as she moved the bottle to her lips, she let the liquid flow from out of it. Letting a single drop of liquid hit her lips, she brought the bottle back down, smiling now that she was ready to execute her plan. Placing the bottle down to the ground, Claire put the cork back on the bottle before walking away from it and approaching Ignitus. Scared of what was to happen, he climbed off his bed but made sure to keep close eyes on her, still not sure of what she was attempting to do. Seeing as he backed from her, she questioned him, "What's wrong, Ignitus? We've been together for so long now," Rather then continue her advancement, she stopped next to his bed, frowning as she thought on it, "Do you, really not... Trust me?"

"What?" He asked, but once she continued, he knew exactly what she was doing.

"You... Really don't trust me... Do you? That's why you're backing away from me... isn't it?"

Seeing the smirk that she couldn't get off her face, Ignitus growled with a smile, "Claire... You know I both love and trust you."

"Then why are you backing away from me?" Having said what he did, he walked right into Claire's trap, and he knew now, he had been captured, "If you supposedly love me, and even trust me, then why don't you come up here and say it to my face; or show that love with a simple kiss?" Growling to her, she giggled at this, "Do I need to manipulate you more or... What? And don't try and guilt trip me. This battle is one sided; Either I win, or you lose," Seeing him take a sigh, she continued to push him to advance, "Come now, my love."

Giving a chuckle, he blushed as he approached her, "You're gonna have to work me a little harder for that."

This got her to freeze, which gave him plenty of time to escape. Jumping to his right, he booked it for the door, jumping and sprinting as fast as he could, almost like a deer. As he approached the door, he quickly slammed the brakes to his advancement as the girls all had blocked the door now, cutting off his escapes. He let out a gasp as he cried, "Girls?!" Backing up from them now, he showed his teeth as he asked, ducking his head as he feared, "What are you all doing?! What are you all planning?!" Letting out a gasp, he spoke out loud, "The other Guardians..." Letting fire show from his mouth and nose, he demanded an answer, "What did you all do to them!"

"They'll be taking a permanent nap if you don't watch your tone!" Flair growled against him, and while a game, her anger was perfect for such an event as this one, though, she didn't take it as one such event, "I'm guessing Terrador was right about the anger you were to show."

"Anger?"

Feeling a peck to his cheek, Ignitus let out a gasp before jumping to his right and looking to see Claire, and feeling a cool ice like comforting feel to the scales on his cheek, he knew she had kissed him. Showing his wings as he extended them, Claire giggled to see he was going to put up a fight, but she knew he had already lost, "Oh please. You had your chance, and you failed," Raising a brow to Claire, she simply waved a paw as she told her friend, "Alright, Ersa, the beast has been tamed. You can come in and grab the bottle on the floor. He won't be a threat to you."

"I won't?!" Ignitus issued this as a challenge, and as he watched Ersa make her way to the middle of the room, he took one step before Claire stopped him.

"I wouldn't move if I were you," She warned him, and this got his attention as he stopped to look at her, "If you haven't noticed yet, your wings are impossibly to close right now," Getting a confused look from him, he clenched his wings, struggling to close them as he did, and no matter the force or pressure, he gasped as he knew his wings really were stuck, "There's a pretty high possibility that your wings could strain to a point of coming off, so the more pressure you use to your body, the same will be applied to your wings, so I suggest you cease all movements."

Now realising what she had done, he gave wide eyes as he thought about it, "You... Poisoned... Me?"

While Claire and Ignitus were having fun with one another, Flair saw differently as Ignitus started to tense up, almost as if he were to attack. Flair herself made her way into the room now, whereas Ersa exited having grabbed the bottle, and for Ignitus, he continued to show this supposed anger, "I trusted you!" While making Flair fear, Claire simply smiled, "After all I've done for you, this is how you repay me?!" Clenching a paw as he brought it up, balling it to a fist, all of the fins on Flair's body sharpened, "You need to be shown your place!"

Running up to Claire now as he engaged his attack, Flair got into a fighting stance as she was ready to jump in between the two and stop this fight. He's... He's going to hit her! Flair cried out in her thoughts, and though she tried to keep calm, her heart kicked up with her breaths as she was afraid of this fight, though she couldn't understand why. Swinging his fist around as he went to punch her, Flair took one step before Ignitus let out a cry, falling down onto the floor because of this supposed pain. Giving wide eyes, Flair wondered what had happened, What?! But... But I thought this fake poison doesn't even cause pain... Unless... Ersa lied! Down to his back, Ignitus was sweating from head to tail, unable to continue. Positioning herself above him, Claire enjoyed this little play he was putting on. Easing a paw to wrap around his neck, she now threatened him, having the upper hand, "So, you really were going to hit me... Unfortunately, with this information... I think it's safe to say that... We're done..."

"What?!" Ignitus cried out, trying to hold back a smile, "No, no no no! Claire, please, I..."

"Flair was right about you. You showed your anger, and you knew how to play with my feelings. You really are, pure, evil."

With how they were wording it, the girls to the door all giggled as they saw this play, and once putting all the pieces together herself; understanding what had happened and even seeing the two showing slight smiles to one another, Flair clenched her teeth before yelling out, "Wait a minute!" With all eyes now to her, even Ignitus and Claire, she was rather pissed to know her findings now, "You two are just playing around! The poison really wasn't anything! Ignitus just fell down out of a fake pain just so you'd be on top of him, so you could feel the dominance over him!" Hearing not only Claire let out giggle, but even Ignitus as he let off a chuckle, she didn't understand it, "But... But how?! Claire told you what could happen, so why would you sprint at her, knowing you could've had you wings clipped!"

"Hehe, because even I know Claire wouldn't put me in a position to harm me," Ignitus smiled to talk on his lover, "Ever since I met her, she's never harmed me," Giving a warm smile to Claire, he wanted his soothing words to really hit close to home, "She'd never hurt me... Not now, or ever... And I love her for that," Hearing him speak about the past, she moved her head down and nuzzled under his neck, causing him to purr as he enjoyed her cool feeling scales, "Ooooooooh..." Backing her head from him, the two smiled to one another, "You know, using my fire to make myself sweat really burned me up, but having your cool blue scales cool me down is so beyond comfortable."

"Oh? So you're saying I can help with your sweaty body?"

"Our, sweaty bodies."

"Hehe, you're thinking too much on the future here, don't you think?"

"Well, I mean, is your name Winter?"

"Hehe, it use to be. Why do you ask?"

"Let's just say, later on, kinda like Winter... you'll be coming early."

Stopping stiff above him, Ignitus gave a rather evil looking smile now for himself, knowing he had gotten her. Though now with him saying this, it got her wondering rather intensely, First that... Joke, when I was next to his bed, and now this?! Does that mean he does want to be my mate?! Seeing she was now broken from his words, Ersa had to step in as she knew where this was headed, "Oh boy," Walking up to the two, she attempted to get to her friend, "Hey, Claire, we still have the other three we need to poison," She didn't get a response, and seeing the evil smirk from Ignitus as he looked to Claire, and Claire herself shaking with every beat her heart gave off, Ersa tried to block the view of the two with her wing, "Claire, remember what I said. They may be the masters of their elements, but they are even more masters when it comes to teasing."

Once she took her wing back from the two, Ersa had hoped it would help, and while not the way she was hoping, it still helped in other ways. With Claire coming down some from what she was feeling, her body reacted on her own. Laying down against his, she put both paws to his cheeks before pushing her lips against his, going wild as her tongue danced with his. Hearing their lips smack as the two moaned which made the others blush as they all saw the lust the two had for one another. Blocking the view of the two making out, Ersa pointed a claw to the door, "I'm just gonna... I'm gonna head out."

First to walk out was Ersa, and after some thought, Flair herself growled before turning and making her way out of the room as well. Someone has to be lying. They can't all be this happy, they can't all be this caring! Still going against it, Flair stopped between the doorway even as the girls continued their adventure to Cyril's room now. Because she had stopped, the girls noticed that Flair wasn't with them, so just as they neared the corner of the Chambers, they all looked back at her, seeing her standing there and looking off into space in a way. Knowing of what it could be, since Claire wasn't there to tease her, Ersa was the one to do it, "Hey, Flair," Picking up her head to see the other girls, Ersa let off a giggle that helped show her smile, "It's okay if you don't want to see Cyril. I know you thinking about his body makes you feel all warm inside knowing he's yours."

"WH...?!" Flair growled, and even as her fins tried to sharpen, the girls all saw as she somehow kept calm thinking about him, "Cyril's mine, and I don't need you helping me to know that."

Rule Four; When she asks for something or tells me to do something, it will always be a yes, Sat down in the middle of the bed in Flair's room as he faced the door, Cyril thought to himself in-depth from what he's learned, what he's been taught by Flair. Wishing to not make such mistakes; those that he had and those he hadn't, he wished to try his best to keep himself grounded. So, simple. Rule One; Leave her alone when told. Rule Two; A problem with her, she needs to know. Rule Three; Never cheat. Rule Four; Obey her commands. Taking a sigh, everything felt right for him, though he still wished to think on it. And don't grab her ass. Realizing back to what he had done, he growled at himself for doing such a thing. After all she's been through, you grabbed her ass?! Why did I do such a stupid thing?! Shaking his head even now, it was something he wished to take back, but knowing he couldn't, he wondered how he could make it up to her. It sucks too... Since she's with the girls, there's nothing I can do to really change things around for her... But... Maybe I can. Picking up his head, Cyril swallowed hard as he made his way off the bed, wishing to make things right. I know something I could do to help. Off the top of the bed and making his way to the door, as he passed the middle of the room, he took a couple more steps forward, longer steps then normal, before finally making it up to the door knob. Though, as he reached for it, it started to twist on it's own, and looking to his paws with slightly widened eyes, he thought, Didn't know I had the force. Backing up as the door opened, it was a surprise for him to see who it was. In front of the door stood Flair as she had been the one whom opened it. Once the two locked eyes with one another, Cyril didn't notice the other girls behind her and smiled rather wide, "Hey, Flair," Seeing this smile made her body shiver, and even with what he said afterwards made her feel much more different then a feeling of anger, "Didn't expect to be visited by your beauty until later tonight."

Hearing this now made her growl before shutting the door in front of his face. This got the girls to give wide eyes as they all saw her growl, her shivers and struggles, but they couldn't understand why. Feeling a little bad for it, Cynder had an idea as to why she would've done this, "Are you... Shutting the door in his face because of what I said before?" She didn't respond to her as she was still struggling with something, and Cynder tried her best to help her out, "I... Know you don't need me to tell you this but... It's okay, Flair... We're all your friends here."

Letting off a sigh to calm herself, Flair took a breath before finally making back her advancement. Opening the door back up now, she was greeted with a much different looking Cyril. Now instead of his joyful smile, he was face down as he frowned, sitting and having let his wings drop to the floor. Still not knowing if whether or not he was joking, she still prepared herself for the worse with him even now, "Stop playing around! Or are you trying to get me down so you can take advantage of my weakness?!"

"What?" Now hearing this, Cyril picked up both his wings and head, "Hehe, Flair, after all that we've been through, you really think I would do something like that to you?" Now for her, unfortunately, she felt bad for saying, and while she showed it with a slight frown, he made sure to keep his smile, "I was kinda hoping you'd take advantage of my weakness. You know, a little fun action where I'm the weak and you take full advantage of me," The way he made it sound, she blushed, and luckily, only growled, which helped him correct himself, "And I'm not talking about sex," Her teeth disappeared now back behind her mouth, "So, what brings you here?"

"It's my room," She was quick to respond.

"On, Yeah, hehe. You know, I'm still stuck on the whole, ladies first thing, and you were so quick to say, 'Well then it's your lucky day'. Hehe, it's such simple stuff like that that makes me love everything about you," Since he said it like it was such a simple flow to him, Flair blushed to his words, "Anyway, I was hoping I could make up for what I've done, especially... This morning. You already hate me, and, having your backside grabbed by me probably completely ruined all hopes you had for today but... Maybe I can make it better."

"Dumping you is the only thing that would make me happy right now. And what did I tell you about this desperation shit. Stop trying so hard to be with me-if I say we are done-we are done-and if you keep bringing it up and constantly annoying me with that memory-then I hope you enjoy being single once again."

It took him a second to process all that she had said, but once understanding it all, a sigh left his mouth, "Oh... yeah... I should've... known that..."

Now feeling like she was coming on way too strong to what she was doing, rather then keep it a secret, she took in a deep breath as she prepared herself for what she was to do. Extending her wings out some, she pushed against the girls chest, and having an idea of what that meant, they all backed away from her. Ersa, Trish, and even Claire have all gone soft on their males. But I'm going to be the one to take the biggest leap. Sharpening her fins, Flair brought on her aggressive side, that one that burned within her that she wished to show, "And in hopes of you dying, I was going to poison you!" Walking into the room now, Cyril slowly backed away from her as she made her approach, "I asked Ersa specifically for this poison, in hopes that it would peel the scales over your mouth to finally shut you up, or snap the bones from within your arms and legs so you'd leave me alone!" Now to the middle of the room, Cyril came done onto his back which only made it that much easier for her to gain control over, and now to the top of him, Flair spat, "And even though it's a slight chance, there's nothing that I'd enjoy more then watching you cry out in pain as you died..." Waiting for some sort of reaction, she knew why he hadn't responded yet, and just to intimidate him more, she slapped a paw to the ground, letting fire shoot from it as she yelled, "SO BE A GOOD DRAGON AND LET THOSE PAINFUL CRIES BE HEARD! UNDERSTAND?!

At first, she saw a frown from him, but seconds after her final words, her body shot stiff as he smiled. The girls from the back watched as her fins eased, as did her body, almost as if she was succumbing to just his smile. Even as much as such a simple smile did for her, it was his words that hit close to the heart for her, "Hehe, that doesn't sound like you at all," Seeing her body jump with every heart beat, he knew he had her now, and with this opportunity to help her, he took it, "You said this poison would shut me up, or even stop me from walking, but you put your rules for me to follow, which I've gone through many times in my head. Those two things fall under rules one and four. Rule one is for me to leave you alone when you say so, so why would you need to kneecap me? And Rule Four is for me to obey your commands, so why have my scales turn over my lips if you could just tell me to shut up?"

"BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING MORE I WANT THEN FOR YOU TO CRY IN PAIN!" Flair continued her advance even as her body rejected it.

"Hehe, and that goes into my other point. There's no way you'd poison me," His innocence chuckle got tears to start forming for her, and his words only helped them form with that much more of a certainty, "I know just how pissed you'd be if something as small as poison killed me. I'm your prey, remember? Hehe, if I died from some simple poison, you'd kill yourself and kill me then in the afterlife. I even asked you, if you could go back and kill me, would you. You rejected, even growling at me because you didn't want to think about my death."

While she still attempted to struggle, she couldn't hold herself up any longer. From his innocence, to the way he smiled, the way he spoke ever so softly to help calm her, it flooded her mind, easing her to a rest. The girls all watched in awe as she fell down to his chest, nuzzling her head to the right side of his neck. Clenching her claws, though being careful as to not dig them into his chest, Flair let out a growl, almost a cry in a way, "Don't you dare think this means I'm vulnerable. If you try anything right now, I will sharpen my fins... Do you understand."

"Hehe. You really believe that, special moments like these for me I would ruin?" His words made her snuggle to him more, and even surprising him, she kissed the side of his neck for his words, "Flair... I... I get you're scared, I get why you are doing this... But... Please... Look at me when I say," Rather then force her, he was easy with his tone, which helped her back her head up to see what he had to s, looking him dead in the eyes as he spoke, "I'm not, and will never, hurt you. And that's a promise... I love your personality, and if you thought this was to scare me... It... Only made me like, and care about you, that much more."

"Then tell me... What can I do to get under your scales?" Flair asked outright as she needed, more then wanted, to know.

Once again giving a nice chuckle, Cyril didn't really know what she could do, "Well, even if you left me, that would just send me into a mile deep depression. Even if you were to attack me or yell at me, I just... Don't see anything you could do..." Thinking of something, an idea came to mind, something he knew he could play around with without hurting her or scaring her, "Well... There is maybe one thing..."

Even as she listened with wide eyes, he couldn't finish what he had to say as he was interrupted by his wings. Feeling his body jump up, his wings shot out stiff from both directions. Letting out a raised brow, Cyril looked to his left wing and struggled to tuck it back. With no luck, he turned his head to the right. Once again attempting to tuck it, even straining, no luck was found. What the hell? Cyril thought, but it was easy for him to remember back as to why this could be happening. Even as he focused back to her, he watched as she showed her teeth, as if she was waiting for him to yell at her. Well... Here goes nothing... Please don't ruin her day even more than you already have. Showing a face of anger but trying his best to hide his teeth, Cyril got into character as he gave off a low, attempted, angry growl, "You really poisoned me?" Immediately her attention locked to him, "After all I've done for you: I gave you a home, a second chance, and I even protected you from everyone else yet, you repay me by poisoning me?" While she wished to see that anger she knew he had, seeing it now towards her, even though it wasn't true, scared her, "You gave me three seconds to run, now I'm going to give you three seconds to live," Now, even as she tried to fight back against him, she froze, and with this freeze in emotion, she was stuck with only slightly widened eyes and a slightly fearful face, but nothing to indicate she was in real emotional danger, "One..." Hearing the number one kicked her heart into gear as she went into full on panic mode, now feeling as though she did set him off, "Two..." Even with her fears, her body acted as a second barrier, seeing his paws raise to both sides of her even as she looked to his eyes, and with his final number, she had enough, "Thr..."

"ENOUGH!"

Shoving herself off of him, Flair was quick to not only back away, but sharpen her fins to their max. As he looked over his chest to see what had happened, Cyril gasped to see her condition, similar to that of what she's already been through, though he knew of what it could connect with. Her stance was weak, even as she stood ready, almost like she was scared to fight. Her arms wiggled, her head was ducked, and her eyes shivered as they attempted to stay focused to his eyes. The sight gave wide eyes to Cyril as he knew what this was, what it meant for her, This is just like with her father... Those that she loved... It took him a bit to roll before finally standing as his stiffened wings made it difficult. She doesn't want to hurt me... And no matter the strength, the scars she's endured were just... too much. Unfortunately for him now, this gave another sigh to him as he knew what this meant. So much for that... perfect day I promised her. Taking one step forward, he reached a paw out to her, very, slowly, just as slow as his voice, "Flair... It's... okay... I'm not... going to hurt you..."

"'THREE SECONDS TO LIVE?!'" Flair cried out, using his words against him.

"I was... Hoping I could help calm you, by showing some kind of fake anger to something that would never really happen..." Cyril tried his best to calm her, "Flair, I'm sorry but... I can't... Show my anger towards you, there's just no reason to..." Hearing him become the vulnerable one in a sense, she was able to ease herself, almost as if she was preparing her own self for an attack, "Hehe, I'll... Definitely- probably-maybe die for this but... The only time I could see us fighting, or, showing this, anger..." Preparing herself for what it could be, all the other girls raised their heads as well as they wondered just as much, "Is if we were mating..."

The word for her and Cyril forced Flair's teeth to show as she thought he was messing with her now, "What?"

"Like, us fighting on who will be on top. Us showing our anger to one another as we bite each other's necks but, lovingly... That kind of thing," This pissed her off to hear, and not only did this burn the flames from within her, but what he said afterwards, "So, I guess if you'd like to see my anger, would you, like the girls to leave and you can hop on this bed with me?" Showing her teeth even more so now, Flair brought her blade around to her side as she approached him, hoping he'd see her killer intent, but he closed his eyes before chuckling, "Hehe, it's okay, Flair. Bottom isn't so bad, but I would suggest you get use to..."

Feeling her softened tail blade push against his neck with a lot of force, Cyril opened his eyes wide before seeing the fire burning from within her eyes. Swallowing hard at this feeling, he knew with the pressure she put on, her fins, if sharpened, would be enough to cut his neck in half. His first step to redemption was to correct what he had said, though his nervous chuckles and fear made it very clear to her and the girls who was the true alpha, "Hehehe... Hehe... What-I...What I meant was I... Ahem... What I meant was, bottom isn't so bad, but I would suggest you get use to top because I'll be on bottom all the time..." Another nervous chuckle escaped his lips, and seeing Flair still showed her teeth, he backed up some even more, "We... Aren't mates... And... Never will..."

"STOP!" She yelled out against him which not only surprised the girls but Cyril as well as neither could understand why she'd stop him from saying it, but she didn't stay quiet about it, "I'd rather burn in the sun then to EVER! Think about loving someone like you. And thinking about you being my mate makes me want to cut my own brain in half... but..." Knowing she had calmed down now, he knew that what she said from here on, she meant, "Don't say never... And you know, I've always found these, love relationships stupid. If you say you'll be together forever, just be mates and live the best life... And... With us... Together... Having spoken the same... What does that mean to you?"

That was a rather difficult question for him to answer, but in case it was still something else like his anger, Cyril comforted her on it, "Well... I don't know if much would change... I would still care for you, I'd still comfort you and, lay with you... And of course... There'd, never be any anger towards you either..." This got her to sigh, but he didn't understand why even with after all she's said, "Flair... Do you... Want me, to hurt you? Is that like... A kink or something? Because I just... I can't..."

"It's not a stupid kink," She growled, but what she said next changed her attitude, causing her own self to blush, "I just... Don't trust that someone as nice and as caring as you even exists... And to think that you actually care about someone like me when you deserve better is just... confusing to me..."

This warmed his heart to hear, and even as she looked away from him, he still kept his smile to her. To help her out, even though he was worried for anything he'd say hurting her, it was still a test for him, "Funny that you say that too 'cause... I don't trust that someone as beautiful and as perfect as you even exists," Causing her to blush once again, she showed her teeth to him, though she couldn't show them as strong as normal as his words got to her, "Hehe, I'm guessing that I'm not the only one who's been, poisoned, today, have I?"

"Yeeeeeeah," Ersa giggled, "So far, we've been able to take out all of the Guardians now, so we'll be heading up to take care of the purple dragons next. Once we have full control over this building, I'd say the world isn't too far fetched, especially since I know you'd never disappoint or go against an order by Flair," Seeing his chuckle, she smiled as this was rather obvious to all of them, "Shame such powerful men, taken out by simple females such as ourselves."

"Hehe, we are definitely-Wait! Terrador was a sucker for love?!"

"Even strong men like him are no match for me," Trish smiled from the memory of her hopeful soon lover, "We took out the muscle first."

"Who was first out?"

"Volteer. But he knew what Ersa was doing way before she even poisoned him."

"Hehe, oh no," Looking past the girls, Cyril noticed someone was missing from the group, "And uh... Where's Claire? Though I'm pretty sure I already know."

"Yeah... Let's just say, they are having a lot more fun then any of us... They brought up their sweaty bodies and it went... From there..."

"Stop giving information to the enemy," Flair finally spoke back up, getting back the center of attention, and she focused back to Cyril, "I'm watching you, do you understand?" He gave a nod to her words, but she noticed every time she looked to him, he smiled, "That damn smile of yours," Cyril now let off a chuckle, getting her to blush now just from his joy filled nature, "Look, if you want to keep me happy, you stay in this room, you don't say anything about what's happened, and you do not help the others, understand?" Bringing up a paw, he saluted her, "A salute? How about you use your words before you piss me off."

"Oh, Hehe, yes ma'am. I shall do as you say and keep a tight lip."

"Uh-huh," Turning away from him, she walked back to the door, "We'll see about that," With the girls backing away, Flair was able to walk into the hallway before letting off what sounded like a goodbye of sorts, "I'll talk about this later, but don't expect it to be anytime soon," This confused him as he let show a raised brow, but before he put the pieces together on her words, she had already looked away and to her left, "Let's just deal with the other two and get this over with."

Don't expect it to be anytime soon? Cyril thought to himself. Once looking up from the ground, watching as she walked away without saying anything else to him, he let off a gasp as he remembered something from last night that she still hadn't said anything against.

---

"Cyril..." Finally speaking his name, he looked over to see her smile had faded and now turned to a frown once she had sighed, "I'm... sorry... for what you've gone through... But, look on the bright side in all of this; I'll be... leaving here tomorrow anyway so... You don't need to worry about me."

---

"FLAIR!" Crying out her name, he bolted to the door.

Unfortunately, with his wings being extended with no way of closing them, as he made it to the door, his wings slammed to both sides of the door. His head poked out along with his neck, but every other part of him was unable to make it through. Hearing this cry and the slam of his wings, the girls all stopped, turning to look behind themselves and seeing Cyril struggling to make it out the door, straining as he tried with all his might to break past the doorway, even slipping as he tried to pull his paws forward. Looking to his right, he saw the girls and cried to her, "Flair! Flair, wait! Please!"

Seeing him so scared for some reason scared her as well. So rather then continue, Flair needed to know why he was flipping out so badly. Walking back over to him, she attempted to calm him, "Whoa whoa whoa, Cyril, calm down..."

Once she had approached him, she stood to the front of him and continued to listen to his pleas, "Flair, Flair, please, I swear I can be the one for you, the one to care and comfort you. I'm not like them, I'm not like any one of them..." With the other girls making it back over to him as well, they all wondered what he was talking about as well, and not having to ask, Cyril spoke on last night, "Flair... Please don't leave... Please...!" Tears started to form in his eyes, and to make things worse, the girls somewhat shivered to hear how low, sadly, and almost defeated his voice sounded compared to his normal self, "Please don't leave me... I know I've already screwed up so badly today, and I'm sorry, just... Please... Please give me the chance... Please..."

"What's he talking about?" Ersa asked.

Remembering back to the night herself, Flair let off a sigh as she spoke on it, "I... Told him that, I'd leave tomorrow, but I didn't say when just to scare him... I really believed my time here was done, but... That was before... Other, things..." Seeing him still struggling to break his way out, she showed her teeth, and having thought on this, she knew her anger would be much better to calm him down faster, "CYRIL!" Letting out a sudden yell, the girls gave wide eyes, whereas Cyril stopped his cries and constant pushes immediately, "Clam the hell down... I'm not... leaving you..." His face lit up with a smile to hear, and already, he was starting to calm, and her words helped him that much more, "You... helped me a lot last night, alright... And you already promised me tonight, so why would I leave you if I already asked you plenty of times today for you to be there for me tonight?"

"To crush all his hopes and dreams to render him useless in life?" While it was something to think about, Ersa saw the wide eyes from the other girls and the fear in Cyril's eyes to think on it now, "Ahem... What I meant was; Cyril, do you not trust Flair? That's a bad dragon."

"Oh?" Smiling now to this idea, Flair looked to Cyril and messed with him now, "Thought you trusted me, Cyril. Are you, lying, to me?"

"What?! No no no!" Cyril shivered as he was afraid of something going wrong for him, "I was just, uh... Testing you, is all! Yeah, just a little, Hehe, a little test..." Swallowing hard to see her give a raised brow, he ducked his head some as he knew he was busted, and he tried his best to apologize for his mistakes, "Flair, I'm... Sorry... I just... I... I really..."

"I know you like me!" She growled, "But what did I say about being desperate!" He still kept his head low as, thinking on it now, he did wish he could've just trusted her, "Look... This will be another, water test. From here on out, when I say something, I mean it, so anything about me leaving before is false, alright?" This got him to smile, even helping him to raise his head to hear, "Now, shut up, go lay down, and wait for me later tonight, alright," Giving her a nod, he turned away from her, but feeling as she was being too hard on him, she struggled for a second, but came to her own conclusion, "Cyril, wait."

Stopped only a couple steps away from the door, he turned with a raise brow, wondering what she wanted. Walking into the room and standing almost nose to nose with Cyril, Flair turned to see the girls were looking to what they were doing, but she didn't wish for an audience. Bringing up both her wings, she blocked most of the door, as well as anyway to get in. Faced back to him, she blushed, but nothing about her went against this. Bringing her head to his left cheek, she kissed it, helping bring a smile to his face. Even though she was done with the kiss, to help ease him some more, Flair nuzzled his cheek, listening as he let off a purr. Backing up now to see his smile, a smile went across her face as she whispered, "Those kisses aren't free, and expect one back when I see you again... tonight, of course."

"Hehe," Seeing her smile, how close she was to him and the kiss that warmed his heart, Cyril felt at complete ease, "You deserve the best, and I'll make sure to double your request."

"Double, you say? So what would happen if I kissed you five hundred times?"

"Well, two times five hundred is a thousand so, guess you should get use to the ice. Which, speaking of," Having talked on it now, he raised a paw and showed his palm, and once she looked at it, a small to medium sized ice cube formed in the middle, "I hope today is going good with the girls, and in case it isn't, I want you to know I'm here for you," She smiled to this, accepting the ice he gave her, and while she grabbed the ice; throwing it into her mouth to suck on before later eating it, he continued to help ease her, "Just remember though, they are, truly, your friends, as are we all, so don't be afraid, okay."

The ice he gave her, the soothing voice he gave as he spoke, and the memories on today, she gave a sigh, but still kept a small smile, "I'm... Trying..." Having eased too much from his words, her wings tucked back to her sides, giving the girls a clear view of what the two were doing and saying, "I can keep calm for only so long... Not being with you, someone I do... Trust... It just brings up ptsd of my past... Which is why I'm glad from here and there, I've been able to meet back up with you."

"Hehe, well, now that I'm basically stuck in your room, you'll know exactly where to find me. The day is almost over too, so... Soon... We'll be able to cuddle up just as we did last night. And... I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited... Laying with you, especially last night... It was... The best night of sleep I've had in many, many years... And waking up is all the more enjoyable now as well, especially now knowing that, every morning, I can wake up with you in my arms..."

"I... know how you feel..." This was a perfect time for him to make his move, and not noticing it, the kiss to her cheek made her shiver, but with plenty of pleasure, and once he had backed up, she whispered, keeping a smile as she looked at him, "Thank you... Cyril..."

The girls were all in awe for what they were seeing as they had seen this side once before, but seeing it up close was a sight to behold for them. They couldn't watch for much longer as Flair had turned back to the door. Jumping to see this, the girls ducked away from the door and scooted away from it some as to give an idea that they weren't listening. Making it out of the room, Flair noticed the others out in the hallway, but what she mainly focused on was the drops of sweat that they all gave off. Thinking back in her head now, she looked to her right wing and growled, Damnit... My wings closed didn't they. Showing her teeth and prepared to say something to the others, a glimpse of something blue came closer to the others, speaking even which stopped her, "Okay! I'm finally back," Seeing who it was now, Claire rejoined the group and stood in the middle of everyone, "So, what did I miss?"

The girls stayed quiet, and since they weren't saying anything, Flair knew she would have to, "The Guardians are all taken care of. Let's just hurry to the other two before they find out what we're doing."

"Oh... Okay."

Since Flair was the first to continue her walk, Claire moved off to the side some to allow her to walk. Seeing a rather annoyed look, her first instinct was to look to the girls as she believed something had gone wrong, "Do they... Have a fight...?"

"No... It's something about ptsd that she has," Ersa answered her, "Come on, girls. We need to talk to her about this."

Walking up to catch up to her, Ersa made it to Flair's left as she moved over, which also allowed Cynder to stand to the other side of the red female. In the back from left to right now was Carith, Trish, and then Claire. With all the girls walking to the house, rather then keep things quiet and awkward, Ersa took charge on what was going on, "Hey, Flair... We won't, lie to you. We listened in on what you and Cyril were talking about, and we noticed that... Different, side, to you. One we never expected from you."

"Why?" Flair hissed, "Because I'm such a monster to you all?"

"You said you had ptsd, and that's why you're... Afraid, of us, scared maybe? We knew you struggled with something from your past, and I get we haven't helped in any way like Cyril, but how come you don't trust us?" She didn't answer, hoping it will all go away, but unfortunately, not answering meant Ersa could keep pushing the agenda, "You know, from my standpoint, I think I've figured out what's wrong with you, and why you act the way you do; why you show anger towards everyone around here."

"And because I show an emotion, something's wrong with me?!"

"It's how you show it... Of course, we use our anger for many things; A show of frustration, a show of power over the other, but you... You use it as a defensive mechanism," Showing her teeth, Flair didn't focus to Ersa as she didn't wish to acknowledge what she was saying, "When you're afraid, you substitute it with anger. When you're happy, you once again hide that with your anger. You're using your anger to hide any emotions that someone can take advantage on. And I have to ask; What emotion are you feeling right now?"

"Pissed Off!" Flair yelled out against her as she now focused to her, "Stop trying to psychoanalyze me!"

"Is it because you don't trust us? And unlike with Cyril who you know you can trust, you show him your true emotions?"

"Shut up..."

"That's why you're not showing us your emotions; You think we'd turn against you at some point, but why?"

"SHUT UP!" Flair stopped now in the middle of the hallway, and with her fins all sharpening, the girls behind her stopped before taking a couple of steps back and watching from the back to see her putting a claw to Ersa's chest, "You know NOTHING about me! Stop acting like you care! You're only doing this so you can have power over everyone here!" Hissing through her teeth for a second, she called her out on it, "You're just as scared of everyone else as I am."

Raising a brow to her, Ersa questioned, "What are you talking about?"

"You really think those years you suffered didn't scar you? No, you're scared, even more so then what your old self use to be. You only trust Volteer, and you want information on everyone here because you're afraid of someone turning on you, you're afraid that this life you have will be gone in a snap, and to make sure no one steps out of line, you keep them in line by knowing everything about them: Blood types, likes and dislikes, emotional trauma, weaknesses-You're the definition of psychopathic!"

"So by me wishing to help everyone, that makes me crazy?" Ersa now showed her teeth some, forcing the girls to back up even more, including Cynder as she joined the girls in the back, "Because I fear for my mate and my hopeful future Hatchling, I can't defend myself? I don't intend on hurting anyone here. Spyro's power has always been a fear of mine, and once I got back, seeing everyone once again, I did fear them, I even thought about killing them, including Malefor. But they helped me; they helped me look past that, and I befriended them all over again, including Malefor. It's because of their help that I am who I am now. So why won't you accept the help that you need too?"

"What part of, 'I don't need any', do you not see? Or is that scar you got from that dragon still damaging your eyesight?"

Letting off gaps, the girls couldn't believe she'd bring such an event back up, but this didn't seem to faze Ersa whatsoever, and instead, it only helped her fuel a flame to fire back, "Rather have a damaged eye than daddy issues."

This caused Flair to shoot stiff, even giving wide eyes as she thought on her father, and having taken such a blow just from a simple thought, it gave Ersa more then enough information for her to piece what could be happening with her life, or at the very least, what's happened, "It doesn't take a lot for me to know more on your past now. Ignitus spoke on the dismantling of your emotions. You're afraid of falling in love, which means you're afraid of it happening again. And as for us; you had friends before, didn't you? But I'm assuming they all turned against you?" Seeing as Flair had ducked her head, shedding tears even as all she had spoken on brought up almost all of her past, and now she had to suffer on it by remembering all of it, "Why did they turn against you?"

"NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!"

Taking action against Ersa, Flair swung her paw around for an attack, but easily for Ersa, she grabbed Flair's fist into her paw. This attack got the girls to all stand, preparing now for the worst of what else Flair could do. Seeing she was getting to her, Ersa took the opportunity to bring up something else that could either calm her, or have no effect whatsoever, "Flair... Me and Volteer haven't been together as mates for that long, but I wouldn't be surprised if I was pregnant. So would you really want to kill a Hatchling? A mother? And the hopes and dreams of a father?" Feeling her fist loosen up almost immediately, Flair let out a gasp, showing now a rather concerned and scared look, which Ersa knew she should speak on, "I know you're scared; I know your fist has loosened, but do you see me attacking? Do you see me wishing any harm on you?"

Speaking on what she knew, Flair tried to tighten her fist once again, but her body couldn't gather the strength to do it. Backing her paw off and putting it to the ground, she faced the ground the same, not knowing now what to say or do. But for Ersa, she shuck her paw that Flair had punched and let off a giggle, "Hehe, Damn, Flair. You really know how to hit, that's for sure..." She knew this wouldn't do anything, but she had hopes she set an easier tone, and to show she wasn't upset, "Flair... Listen..." Using her paw and resting it to Flair's left shoulder, she looked down some and helped comfort her, "I'm sorry, for what ever you've gone through, but that's what we are here for. I thank you, for trusting me with your blood type, and I thank you for today. Having you with us when you could've ran off is very... nice... And I hope you stay with our family for as long as you live, and then some..."

"What the hell does it matter..." Flair murmured, "I know you'll always hold hate for me now, after what I said."

"What?" Ersa giggled, "About the eye thing? Hehe, you know, from memory, when did that happen?" Ersa took her paw from Flair's shoulder, and hearing what she said helped pick Flair's head up as well, and while still looking pissed off, she wondered what she was doing, "As I already told you, Volteer saved me that day before mating with me. Since Volteer protected me that day, how could I have gotten a scar?" While Ersa smiled, blushing even as she shivered rather joyfully from the memory, this turned Flair's show of teeth to a more depressed look, which she saw and made sure to comment on, "You know... Flair... Right now, I can see you're rather depressed."

"And?!" She tried to hiss against her, but something in her felt tired, like she didn't wish to fight, and Ersa saw this too.

"I know and can see, you're tired of fighting; of having to take a punch without any help of getting back up, but that's what we're here for," Ersa smiled to see Flair looking at the other girls who, in return, gave smiles back to her, "It took me some time to trust them," Being honest with her once again, Flair looked back to Ersa as she spoke, "After the Terror of The Skies, I didn't trust Cynder. But it turned out, she's the most innocent thing on this planet. I didn't trust anyone, and I know trust takes time. We just want you to know... You don't have to fear anything when you're around us... Hehe, well, aside from the constant smacking of lips when we are near the love of our lives but... Just... Tell me one thing, and I will back off... Promise."

Raising a brow as to what it could be, Flair asked outright in hopes of getting her off her back on this situation, "Fine... What is it."

"Is Cyril truly helping you?" It was an interesting question to her, and Ersa was sure to elaborate on her question, "I know you were hurt from something, and all I wish to do is help you; I know, you need help, and I'm just hopeful that Cyril is the one giving you the care, support, and love, that you deserve... Please... That's all I wish to know," Not wishing to answer her question, Flair stayed quiet on it, making Ersa sigh as she did wish to help her, "Flair..."

"Yes... Alright?" Flair grumbled, but her answering got wide eyes from Ersa, surprised to hear that she was being honest with her, "And though it's none of your business... You're... right... about a lot of things, and I'll own up to that," Seeing as Ersa gave her a smile, she didn't give one back, "I've tested the waters around here 'WAY' too much, more then I should've, so you need to understand that I'm well past my comfort zone, so I don't think it'd be too much for me to ask for you to stay the hell away from my emotional well-being."

Once again giving a smile to her, Ersa nodded as this was something she already agreed on, "As I promisedI just wanted to know if you were indeed being helped, and since you do still don't trust us, we shall back off," Waving a paw to her left side, she wished to continue now as things seemed to have calmed between the two, "Well, now that things have calmed, would you like to continue? Or, is there anything we can do to make you feel more comfortable, especially since you've shown that you are scared of us in a way."

"I wasn't scared!" Flair was quick to correct her, and to make sure she didn't say something back, she proceed to walk, "I was defensive."

Since Flair did seem calmed, Cynder was able to make her way back to her right side, whereas Ersa was able to continue her walk to the left. Followed behind was the other three girls, and now all back together in a smooth orderly fashion, they were able to continue their way to the house once again. Walking up the stairs now, Cynder knew the girls weren't far now, and being so close to seeing her love again; it got her thinking. I haven't seen Spyro at all today, aside from his appearance in Ersa's room, but other then that... It's scary how vulnerable I feel without him. With these thoughts, she didn't notice her pace had picked up, passing by the front of Flair now. The girls all watched as Cynder focused so heavily towards the door. With Cynder taking nearly three steps at a time, Ersa saw the confusion on Flair's face, and she decided to he honest with her, "Flair," She got her attention, "Cynder, even with plenty of war experience, she still can feel trapped too. I've seen it a lot, and when Cynder isn't with Spyro... It scares her, and she gets weak in a way too, though I know why."

"What do you mean she gets weak?" Flair questioned, and since the door at the top of the stairs already opened with Cynder having ran so far ahead, they were able to easily enter the hallway to the house.

"From what I've been able to gather, it's much more related to trauma then anything else. When it comes to fear, psychological changes occur in us that can change our behaviours. In her case, it's almost like hypoventilation. This causes her carbon dioxide levels to rise, making her feel weak and lightheaded, which then adds on to a sense of loneliness and anxiety," Seeing the confused look on her face, Ersa let off a giggle as she knew that was a little too much to take in, "Hehe, sorry. Simple definition; Cynder can't live without Spyro."

"As much as I would like to disagree with you..." Letting off a sigh, Cynder heard the others as they approached the Training Room, "You're absolutely right."

Looking around the house as she's never been in here before, Flair saw the door Cynder stood at, and with her and the other girls being in the middle of the house, she was able to inspect everything, "So this is your house, huh? Mind giving me the tour so I know where to strike first in case I ever need to kill one of you?"

"Hehe, well, since I do trust you, Flair, I don't mind giving you that information," Cynder's joy and ease to Flair made her blush, growl lowly even, and while she didn't say it, she appreciated her kind words, "The door I'm at is to the Training Room where Spyro likes to spend most of his time and blood... unfortunately... The door to my right is where me and Spyro sleep. Across from me is our Forest Room; That's where we can enjoy the outdoors-indoors with a waterfall, grass, trees, and a river of sorts. Next to that room is where Malefor and Carith sleep, which, fun fact, was meant to be a room me or Spyro could use in case of a fight."

"Did you ever need to us the room?"

"Hehe, of course not."

"And what about the door closest to the main entrance?" Pointing over to the door to Cynder's far left, she actually didn't know.

"You know... I... Actually don't know."

"What? You have a house all to yourself, aside from the other two, and you don't even know what's behind door number five?"

"We've never really needed to. We have all we could want and more, and with Spyro, I'm more thinking about him then a room."

"Do you mind if I find out?"

"If you'd like to see, go right ahead."

Moving over to the door, Flair stood to the front of it, but as she reached a paw to the door knob, she hesitated. What if this room is housing a monster, or a bomb waiting to go off?! Looking to Cynder, she saw the smile on her face, and this smile in a way helped her as she thought about her. Cynder's one of the most innocent females I've ever met... She'd... Never want to hurt me... Would she? Taking a sigh, it was a risk she was okay in taking, so she continued back to the door knob. As she grabbed it, she twisted it, though she couldn't go very far as someone from within the Training Room yelled out, "DUDE! IT'S HUGE!"

Immediately stopping and looking to the other girls with blushes, they all ran over and piled to the door to listen in on what was being said. Being able to make out the voices, they were able to make out the first one whom had spoken was Malefor, and now, the one responding back was Spyro, "Don't pat yourself on the back. It's not as big as you think." "Are you kidding?! Just the tip would be enough to make a girl drool." "Yes, because a girl would totally care about size over a brain." "Dude... Dude dude dude! You think Carith would like it?! Hehe, I mean, just her seeing this massive thing would make her want to touch all up on it!"

WHAT?! Hearing their conversation, Carith was quickly able to think on her feet, "Quick! Ignitus! Ignitus Clone! Camouflage us like you did with Spyro and Malefor during that girls day! Cynder! Open the door!"

"What?!" Flair spat to the words she had spoken, "Hell no! If I see something I don't want to, I'm going to kill him!"

"Only one way to find out!" Carith drooled, moving past the girls and opening the door up herself.

As she swung the door open outwards, the girls all ran in to see what was happening. All let out a gasp as they saw the Training Room, or at the very least, what was left of it. The walls and ceiling had been completely destroyed, revealing the sunlight from every angle with a clear view of the cool blue sky, and even the mountains off to the left side, which helped them get an even better view of Warfang. Making their way more to the middle, they stopped a couple of steps away as they noticed Spyro and Malefor were sitting a couple of feet apart from one another near the middle. To the left sat Spyro, and to the right sat Malefor. In his paws, he held something that they had never seen before. From what they could make of it, it was made from the darkness. With Malefor continuing his speech, the girls all sighed to hear it wasn't what they thought it was, aside from Carith of course, "I mean, a sniper can penetrate like, concrete, right? Hehe, and I don't care what you say, this thing is HUGE!"

"Damn it, Malefor, you tease," Carith murmured, whipping drool from her mouth with her arm, "I totally would've grabbed up on you too..."

"Carith, naughty naughty," Claire giggled as she knew what she was hoping for.

Seeing Spyro once again brought a tear to Cynder's eye, and she whispered his name in her thoughts, Spyro... Seeing his body was something else though as, unlike his name, the blood and scars brought her discomfort. Seeing his body now, he seemed in even worse condition as the scars, blood stains, and even fresh blood multiplied on his body. She wasn't able to think on it too long as she mainly wished to focus to his voice as he spoke, "Malefor, do you not understand how stupid you sound?"

"WHAT?!" Malefor cried out, "Alright, Alright alright alright, hold on, Hold! On! Let me get you to understand this. I am a legendary purple dragon, with a FIFTY CALIBER SNIPER RIFLE!" Showing off what was in his paws now, he explained it in depth as he was very proud of his creation, "You got yourself the adjustable scope on the top, the rear sight in the back underneath in case of a secondary scope, the monopod socket to the back with a comfortable shoulder guard. Then, you have the rear grip, the magazine in the middle with armor piercing rounds, the lightweight bolt carrier, a custom black fire rail, and a debatable muzzle break!" Explaining his new weapon in all of its glory, Spyro still didn't seem impressed, "DUDE! What's wrong with my sniper rifle?! It's even a perfect size for me to slap onto my back to be a tactical mother lover."

"BECAUSE IT'S UNREALISTIC!" Spyro blurted out, "Do you not understand just how stupid that sounds?! A dragon, with a fifty caliber sniper rifle with armor piercing rounds?! And you also said you wanted to give yourself a rocket launcher? You are literally breaking laws or, rules or, something!"

"You could blow up the sun just by sneezing from the earth up to it!" Malefor defended himself, "A sniper rifle is the most realistic thing that we've ever done!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuugh..." Rubbing two claws to his head, Spyro let out a hefty sigh, "This is so dumb."

"No no no, dude, think about it."

"No... No, I'm not losing brain cells over this."

"Spyro! Trust me!" Malefor pleaded, and since Spyro didn't say anything afterward, he was free to continue, "Look at it like this, right... So, say you need back up, but I'm too far away, okay? Then, boom! Sniper Rifle! And I know what you're thinking, 'Why wouldn't you just be there to fight with me'? First of all, shut your damn mouth you silly little sock puppet, and second, what sounds cooler; A fifty cal sniper rifle going off, or two dudes slapping each other? Sounds pretty sketch to me, don't you think?"

"Did you just call me a sock puppet?" Spyro questioned out loud, "Okay, okay okay okay. Let's just say for a minute that you shoot someone with that round. You would literally, and I'm not joking, you'd literally blow up their entire body, especially since you said you'd use your wind power to make the bullet even more powerful, more effective, and much, much more faster. I'm all for a fight, but do you not know how traumatizing it would be to be fighting someone and then their head explodes, sending blood and gushy bits all over me?"

"Never said I'd kill anyone with it."

"YOU SAID ARMOR PIERCING! That's like you throwing a fat ass rock at someone's head at mach ten and you were surprised their head exploded."

"Oooooooooooh! I should make like, shrapnel rounds too! Like, when a bullet hits someone, it digs into them and then explodes out a bunch of earth like spears!"

"Malefor..."

"What?"

"Just... Stop talking and think about what you just said."

"What did I..." Stopping for a second, Malefor realized it, "Oh... Yeah... Maybe torturing others isn't such a good idea."

"Glad you realized that."

"But! Hey! You want to know something I've always wanted to do?!"

"Please, Ancestors, why couldn't I have just died..."

"Oh, come on, man! This is like, a dream for me!" Since he knew Malefor wouldn't shut up, Spyro stayed quiet and tried his best to endure what he was to say, "So, ever since I've read books about others sniping and what not, I, being myself, found it kinda... Kinky..." Stopping their made it seem rather weird, even causing Spyro to take a step back for a second, "No no no! Not like that! What I mean is, do you know how cool I'd be to like, do a girl before sniping?"

"Alright, this conversation is done."

"No! Dude, come on! You're a guy! Let's just have a bro moment real quick."

"No one talks about stuff like this!"

"Holy shit, like, everyone does. Stop being a bitch and just have some fun!" Letting out a growl, Spyro later took a sigh as he just went along with it, "So, just think about it, right. You're with Cynder-AND DON'T INTERRUPT ME! It's just an example!" Taking his claw back down, just as he did a couple of seconds ago, Spyro let off another sigh, "You're with Cynder on a stealth ops mission and you need some comfort. Bam, she's right there, so you get to not only bang her, but also take out your target later, so you get to deal with two things at once! Or should I say, penetrate, two things, at once."

"Malefor, I'm gonna stop you right there..."

"What? Wh-"

"Because what if my target was a dude? You're basically saying I not only... penetrated, a girl, but also a dude, in one day."

"Hehe, hey man, you're going places that's for sure."

"Why do you even have this dream?"

"Uh, because that would make my flippen day. I would love to have Carith out in the field with me, so when ever I need a little somethin-somethin, she's there to take care of me," Letting off a chuckle, Malefor didn't realize how red hot Carith got in the face listening to what he would like to do with her, "Hehe, damn... now I'm... really missing her... Hey, Spyro. For real, just real quick... What do you think I should do about that almost mate situation between me and her?"

"I don't see why you're against it," Spyro answered honestly, "Aside from the Dark Master thing you told me."

"I just... I feel like with it being my first time, I'll mess up, you know? I don't want to be a horrible father, I don't want to be a horrible husband, and I feel like..." Letting out a rather sad sigh, Spyro's feelings changed as well as he saw Malefor was rather passionate about what he had to say, and he even sat down, letting his sniper disappear into a cloud of black smoke, "I've never, been good at anything in life... Everything I can do, you can do better, even though I should've been the one to show my strength... Do you... Think, just like at life, I'm meant to just, always fail?"

Hearing this now made Carith shiver, saddened by what he had brought up and it made her understand how he felt that much more now, "Malefor..."

Knowing how he could bring this back around, Spyro kept a smile as he approached him, "How do you always fail?" Standing right in front of him now, Malefor looked to see Spyro's smile, "You're always successful at being a pain in my ass. You're always successful at being my biggest issue, but... While you've had your ups and downs, one thing I know you won't mess up on is being an amazing parent..." It was strange to Malefor to hear him have his back in such a way, but he enjoyed the help very much so, "I'm scared of messing up too, but we're purple dragons damnit. We've fought the Dark Master, we took on an army, and we even destroyed the Destroyer... We did it together... And with Volteer and Ersa having a Hatchling because, let's be honest, they are going to, maybe that can be a learning experience for you too."

Smiling to the help of his words, Malefor let off a sigh, trying not to smile too much as he backed off of Spyro, "Alright, calm down. For someone who's supposed to be a man, you sure know how to rub in the butter..." Still keeping his smile, he didn't want Spyro to think what he did was for nothing, "But... Thank you for that... I do have high hopes that I can provide for her, from now, when we're mates, and even in the afterlife."

The girls all gasped as it sounded like he confirmed it, though without him saying Carith's name, she growled in her thoughts even though she knew it could only be her, Who's she damnit! Say my name! Switching gears now, Spyro's face turned a little serious as he had to ask him his opinion, "Hey... Malefor, "Hearing the seriousness in his voice, he swallowed hard as Malefor feared for his own life, "You haven't talk much about Flair at all... And I... have to wonder... What do you think about her and Cyril?"

"I'm surprised he hasn't nailed her yet."

"What?" Spyro asked.

"What?" Flair growled.

"Why are you surprised by that? Better yet, out of everything that's already happened; Her being an assassin, her almost killing me, her almost killing Cyril multiple times, you're surprised they haven't had sex yet?" A wide smile went across Malefor's face, as well as two thumbs up, getting Spyro to sigh, "First this, sniper sex kink, and now this... You have a very, very weird mind."

"I'm a dude! All dudes think about is dirty stuff! And... When dad would return after he said he was just going out to get milk..." Malefor whimpered, once again getting Spyro to let off a sigh for this kind of behavior, "Anyway!" He got back to himself, "Just, think of the story between the two; Girl has an awful life, a man comes along and saves her, then they live happily ever after, and depending on how hot the two are, or, sorry, interesting, the couple could even get a sequel! Like a, book two of their story. Though most of the times, I'd suggest avoiding squeals, but they're not all bad! Like my life story! I have two lives!"

"What are you talking about? Are we still on the same discussion here?"

"Oh, yeah yeah yeah, right. But then again, thinking about those two, almost everyone has had a, big strong man come by and help them, like a Disney princess. Ignitus to Claire, Terrador to Trish, kinda Volteer to Ersa, and even now, Cyril to Flair. Though, when I think damsel in distress, I think of you and Cynder which, after all that you've done with her, I'm very, VERY, surprised you too haven't done it yet. I mean like, she's all up on you dude. You should totally just go for it. What she gonna do, say no?"

"Can we get back to Flair and Cyril... Please..."

"Oh you're no fun. Come on, man! You know she'd be at your feet, so why not go for it!"

"Because I'm not using her!" Spyro got defensive over the situation, "I don't care that I've done a lot for her, I don't care that I suffer through pain to keep her safe. The only think I care about is her safety and what she wants. If I started acting like I did all that just to force her into mating with me, she'd lose the only light and trust I've ever given to her... Not only would she never trust me again, but that might even be the same to others..." The girls had to take a glimpse to Cynder as they knew their would be a reaction out of her, and a reaction she gave with a slight smile, a tear, and a step forward as she wished to approach him, "I love her... And the last thing I want is to lose the only light I've ever had too..."

Having gone so deep into such a discussion, Malefor understood where he was coming from, even adding onto what he had said, "Even when we're, corrupted, by the darkness... It's our loves, and the families we have that brighten our vision, to help us see the light once again..." Glad he understood, Spyro gave him a smile, and feeling a smile to himself as well, he didn't want this to be all mushy, "Alright, calm down you mush ball. Look, going back to the whole, Flair and Cyril, situation, it seems to me that he has her wrapped around his finger."

"Why do you say that?"

"I mean, think about it really. He's the only one who's really stood by her, the only one who's really laid with her, comforted her, and took all the time in the world to be there for her; even after what she did to him, even after he saw what she did to you. Cyril's no, manipulator, but if he says the right things at the right time, he could easily get to her, and she'd never even know it," Hearing Malefor speak on it, Flair's teeth showed as she thought on all the things Cyril has done so far and started to wonder if that's exactly what he was trying to do, "He gave her a home, he gave her a family to be with, and he gave her life again from the looks of it. She seems to be taking a lot from him, which, makes me wonder, is his virginity next?"

"What?!" The girls, aside from Flair, cried.

"What is with you in sex man?" Spyro grumbled.

"Hehe, I'm just saying. Imagine how hot it'd be for Cyril if she was doing him, and she felt bad, so he came to the compromise that, if she continued, he'd allow her to stay?"

"You know what, I think I'm not going to do that. I already have Volteer and Ersa to worry about and thinking about other things such as those will not help."

"But you know sooner or later, everyone around here is gonna have a mate."

"Which, you have no idea how surprised I am that you aren't going to die single, let alone a virgin."

"Hehe, neither is Carith," Malefor purred.

"WH...!" Carith's scales to her face turned pure red upon hearing this, "ARE WE MATES OR NOT?!"

"You know he can't hear you right? Ignitus used his powers," Claire didn't know whether or not she knew this still.

"I should've just deactivated it myself and asked him!" Even as passionate as she was, she still feared to say anything, even murmuring about it, "But I'll never have the guts to say it... I just want him as my mate even if he were using me..."

"Hehe, awwwwww. It's okay, Carith," Ersa decided to tease her, "I mean, you think kissing the one who love is great, but now imagine being able to have all the fun in the world with him," Carith tried to ignore her friend, but as she looked to her lover's muscles, posture, and smile of his, Ersa continued to tease, "Being able to nuzzle him in such a seductive manner... Being able to, help him, when he's sniping... And not even being able to stand in the morning cause he gave you the best, ride, of your life."

"Uuuuuuuggggggghhhhhhhh," Carith cried now, unable to handle being cloaked any longer.

"I mean, hehe," Malefor still continued to laugh as he thought about it, "Seems to me, we're gonna have to ask Cyril to slay the dragon, that being Flair, but later we'll find out he, laid, her. Then it would be like, 'We told you to slay the dragon, not lay it', hehehe."

"That joke is so old and overused," Spyro gave off yet another sigh to his words, even if it was for good reason.

"Maaalllllffffoooor!"

Hearing a rather sad cry to his name, Malefor looked to his left to see Carith jumping towards him, arms laid outwards as she tackled him to the ground. Even as he hit his back to the ground, he gave wide eyes to see his lover, and before he could even get off her name, he opened his mouth before being immediately covered by Carith's. It was a shock to feel so much lust within this kiss, and even now as she laid to his body, her wiggling around with her mouth and body drove him crazy now. The two both let out moans as they pulled theirs lips back, licking one another's lips, before going back in and continuing to make out with loud, wet smacks. The sudden appearance of Carith now forced Spyro to look to his right, and even after having known she was already there, it was still a surprise to see Cynder walking up to him. It was more surprising though once he had seen that all the girls had made it into the Training Room. She sat down in front of him, looking to his eyes and giving a smile to now be in his presence once again. Seeing the tear she had given off in both her eyes, he frowned some to see this, and her voice being low and soft as she cried in a way hurt that much more, "Hehe... You know I... I've been rather lonely without you... Not having you by my side, not having your wing or voice just... It made me think I was about to be turned against everyone and forced to kill them... And you would've just... disappeared from my life..."

With this stab to the his heart, Spyro knew he'd be able to turn things around, or at the very least, he hoped all his training meant something, "Cynder, I'm... Sorry... I'm sorry I didn't tell you what I was doing as I wanted it to be a surprise... And... Unlike how I usually promise you things, I wanted to make sure I could actually come through with this next one..."

She knew what promise he spoke on and defended him, "Spyro, me not meeting my parents isn't going to hurt me."

"That hasn't been the only promise I've failed you on..." She felt terrible to see him struggle, but also in a way, kinda happy as seeing how much he cared warmed her heart, "But now, I have... High hopes that I'll be able to... Go through with what I've wanted to do for a while," Now being done with his training, his body was healed over as the darkness started from his nose before heading down through the rest of his body, "I know that you'll want me in clean condition, even though we could be getting a little... dirty..."

A blush grew on Cynder's face as she stuttered, "Di-di-dirty? Wh-What do you... Ahem... What do you mean?"

"Cynder... Do you... Love me?"

"What?" It was a very simple question for her to answer, "To hell and back, of course I love you, Spyro. What kind of question is that?"

"So you're saying, as I am right now, you'd never want me to change?"

"Of course, my love. I love you, and nothing will change that," She smiled.

"But... What if I showed you... Let you experience just what else I could... Do with you..."

His words once again faced Cynder was another red hot blush, and while some of the girls took this as flirting, Flair growled, thinking otherwise, Just as Malefor said... He knows just what to say and how to say it... Cynder's wrapped around his finger, and anything he says, he knows he can control her... And it seems he's revealing that side to himself now. Giggling as to tried to keep herself cool, Cynder waved a paw to him, trying to hide her very visible smile, "Oh, Hehe, well, I mean, you... could if you... wanted to... I guess if you want to have a little role play, I could get all cuddly with you and beg for whatever you are to... make me, experience?"

Taking a deep breath, Spyro to her seemed as though he was readying himself for something. While the girls all prepared for something else, even Carith stopped her make out session with Malefor. While Malefor would've liked to also have seen what was happening, he laid there with his tongue hanging out of his mouth, still in a daze of immense pleasure. They watched as Spyro made his first moments; easing his wings to the back of Cynder and touching his nose with hers. Looking her in the eyes with more fear then anything else, he whispered gently to her, "Please... What ever you do... Do not move..."

Swallowing rather hard, she was afraid of what he was to do now, "What are you... doing...?"

"Figuring out if I even deserve to be called your lover... All the training I've done today has gone to this, and the last thing I'd want is for you to get hurt."

Even though he expected her to fear, she smiled to him, whispering back to help calm him, "I trust you."

This helped boost his confidence now as her words forced a small shiver, even goosebumps, but this also added to his fears as now he knew he couldn't mess up, Please don't mess up... Please, don't, mess this up. Still with no way of knowing what exactly he was doing, the girls tried to take a closer look to see if something was happening that wasn't viewable where they were. But once Cynder let out a gasp, they all backed their heads up and followed with a gasp as well. Feeling now as to what he was doing, Cynder gave him wide eyes, wishing to now move and embarrass him even more. While the others still wondered what was happening, she was only able to get out a couple of words for them to piece together, "This... warmth... It's the purple..."

Before she was able to finish, the long awaited kiss she had wanted so desperately finally arrived for her. Not only had his now new found and controlled purple flames warmed her body, but now even the inside of her own mouth too. Having made sure to wet his lips sooner, hers were easily slicked up now too. Her toes and paws curled as she let off a rather loud moan, and unfortunately for her, she couldn't hold herself back from moving forward. Rubbing her body against him now, both paws were pressed to his chest, finally being able to use her tongue against his own once again. Her mind and body tunnel visioned as she had completely succumbed to his body, his lips, his comfort and warmth. Everything screamed within her now to take him as even him letting off his own groans set her ablaze. With the intensity of the two, even worse then Carith and Malefor, the girls had to look away now as the two had gotten so far into the kiss. The kiss, to the dismay of both, had to come to an end as Spyro finally pulled away. But even as he did so, Cynder made sure to get everything she could, grabbing his tongue with her mouth one last time before pulling away herself. Now with the kiss finished, both looked to one another's eyes, panting as they hadn't caught their breaths. Not only for Spyro, but Cynder as well held a blush much more controlled, but seducing in a way as it made each other want the other that much more. Cynder's paws resting to his chest, her slim and sleek features, her feeling of what she did to him continued on repeat in his mind. And just as he looked the same to her, she looked back, inspecting what she wanted now more then ever. His flexed out muscles, his perfectly built body, a neck she wished to lick, and a tail she wished to grab. While the two wished to enjoy this moment forever, Spyro's eyes grew wide as his chest almost popped. Seeing these wide eyes, Cynder didn't have enough time to react before he backed away from her and very suddenly, violently even, turned away. His sudden rather violent cough got the attention of everyone, but also the voice and cry of Cynder, "Spyro!"

Hearing this violent cough which sounded almost like he was ready to cough up his own lungs, everyone was ready to take action, even Flair. She watched as Malefor rolled back upright and took some steps towards Spyro, whereas the other girls took a couple more as they were much further. Feeling her heat kick up, Flair gave wide eyes to herself as she didn't understand why she felt the way she did, Wh-Why... Why am I... scared...? I should have nothing to fear yet... Hearing Spyro cough once again, Flair took another step. I'm... worried...? With Cynder taking another step towards him, Spyro was finally able to yell out, "Stay back!"

With this voice, he immediately went back to coughing, though now as they all did back off some, they noticed smoke coming from underneath his wings, almost as if they had been set on fire. Having the most knowledge on this, Ersa believed she would be able to get an explanation out to the others to help calm them, "Wait a minute..." Stopping for a second, she looked to Cynder and asked her, "Cynder," Hearing her name, she looked to Ersa, "When you said warmth, and purple... He was using the purple flames, wasn't he," Giving her a nod, she put the pieces together herself, "So this most be Spyro's first real test drive with the purple flames... All the places on his body where he used the purple flames went out of control and scorched him as he wasn't concentrating..."

"What?!" Cynder cried as she felt almost his entire front half being warmed by these flames.

"What?!" Malefor cried as well, though in more of a smile, "Hehe, dude, I really hope you weren't using those flames between your hind legs, because damn! But, look on the brightside, at least Cynder could help, if you know what I mean," Even as much as he wanted to say something, Spyro still continued to cough, but once Malefor said this, all bets were off, "OH! DUDE! With her wind powers, she could literally, blow, you... GET IT?! HAHAHA! Because of the-WOAH!"

Ducking his head now, red flames flew right to his head, and unless he had ducked, the fire would've hit him. Wishing to get closer, Ersa walked a couple more steps forward, and thankfully to all of them, it seemed he had gotten control over the cough, and since things seemed safe, aside from his still kicked breaths, she asked him, "Hey, Spyro, for scientific purposes, may I inspect your wing? That is if it's safe to approach you now..."

Spyro couldn't responded, though the best he could do was nod for a second before coughing once again. Approaching him now, she was very careful with her inspection, and everyone was curious to know what had happened; what kind of wounds he had. Using two claws, Ersa grabbed the top of his wing, easing it out and upwards. The sight she saw was enough to make her freeze, and once everyone else saw the wound, they all froze the same, giving fearful widened eyes to his condition. While most of the girls only saw his wing, the others saw not just the bottom, but around the front of him as well. His scales as Ersa said had scorched; showing red skin, blood, and what looked like a more terrible condition of rug burn. The same was for his chest, the surrounding front area, and the other wing. His colors had melted from these spots and were simply replaced with the tissue behind his scales. Still in shock to this sight, Cynder shed tears to see him in such a condition. Even for Flair, such a sight seemed almost unreal, and seeing the damage he had done to himself now, Ersa had to ask, "Spyro, how... How are you even alive right now...?"

"What?!" Cynder once again let off a cry as she ran over to her, and to get an even better view, or a worse view, she ran to Ersa's right, "Why are you asking that?!"

Seeing the frontal damage now to his chest, she once again froze, and watching his slowed figured as he gave what looked to be his last breaths, Cynder's own breaths kicked up. Though he spoke slow, him speaking at all was good news to all of them, "It's thanks to... Kettu and... Xvar... I trusted them with my... Darkness... To keep me safe..."

"Well then they did a pretty shit job, don't you think?!" Malefor growled, knowing those two should've never been trusted, "You put your trust into the darkness, and look where it got you."

"Ersa's right..." Shutting his left eye now, his body started to shiver in a way, as though it was losing strength the more he spoke, "I should be dead... And If it wasn't for those two... I would be..." Kneeling down now, Spyro went from his belly to his left side, trying to hold onto the little bit of strengh he had left, "Those purple flames... Were beyond even my... darkened form... They cushioned the blow with all they could... But now... I have no power... Or darkness to really... keep me alive..."

With everyone letting out gasps, Cynder cried out against this, "No... No no no..."

Looking behind herself, while opening her satchel and reaching for one of the bottles with a blind eye, Ersa smiled to Flair as she wanted to tempt her just to see what she'd do, "You know, Spyro's in a bad position right now. If you want him dead, now's your chance. No darkness to heal his wounds, no power to fight back; the perfect kill."

Raising a brow as to why she would say such a thing, Flair was all for it, "Well, if you won't interfere, I wouldn't mind taking his life..."

Taking a step forward and seeing the shiver that shot through Cynder's spine, Flair stopped, struggling now on the decision as she remembered all that she's said about her, Cynder... Would trust me not to though... But why should I even care? Watching as Cynder struggled, trying her best to help by transferring her energy into his body with a paw to his side, Flair looked back to Ersa to see her still smiling. This smile got her to show her teeth now, "After all I've told you, you think I'd kill him?!" Sitting down, crossing her arms, and letting off a scuff, she ignored her, "The only prey I have around here is Cyril."

Ersa kept a smile to see Flair's blush as she knew she cared. To fix the situation now, Ersa looked down into her satchel before grabbing out a bottle of black looking color. With a paw around the ring of the top, she pulled it up and out from her satchel. Seeing Cynder still struggle with what was going on, this didn't seem too bad of a situation for Ersa as she knew a quick fix, "Hey, Cynder," Getting her attention, she looked up to her friend and noticed the bottle in her paw, "Use this."

"The poison?" She questioned, "But... Why...?"

"I'm a women of many works, and while this was mainly supposed to be used as a means of our little adventures today, I wanted to make sure that before anything was to happen, they'd be healed and energized so nothing bad would happen," Reaching up to grab the bottle now, Ersa gave it over to her and continued with her explanation, "Hehe, I mean, if you don't stretch before running, you could pull something, so this helps loosen the body as well, so this should help ease him as well. Just make sure he's not on his side cause... Yeah..."

Not wasting time, Cynder was quick with her movements. With the bottle, she took the cork off the top, placed it to the ground, and proceeded to move the tip of the bottle to her lips. The liquid went from the bottom up to the top as it slid from out the rim on the top and onto Cynder's lips. A cold feeling drop hitting her lip made her bring the bottle down, knowing the liquid now stained her lips. Grabbing the cork, Cynder squeezed it back to the top before handing the bottle back to her. Looked to the light that was fading in his eyes, she frowned, but knew, and hoped, everything would be okay for him, "Spyro... My love..." Using her wings, she wrapped it around his back and warned him, "I need to roll you to your side... Okay... I just want you to prepare yourself."

Not getting a response made her respond with a tough shiver, but she kept strong. Putting some pressure to his side before adding more to roll him, she felt him trying his hardest with the little power he had, which was a good sign to see he was still fighting. Rolled to his belly now, his head now rested flat on the floor, barely letting off a breath as his body was fading. Moving her head around, she helped pick his head up with her paw. Looking him in the eyes, he didn't look back to her, as if he didn't even know she was there. Shedding a tear for this, Cynder murmured before letting her lips connect with his, "You'll be okay... Please... Be okay..."

Both closed their eyes, and for Cynder, this was a fear for her, and she even thought on it, scared her fears would become a reality, When I open my eyes... You better as well... Do you understand me... For the first almost minute of the kiss as her lips pressed, she felt nothing from him, and even to help with his breathing, she used her wind to aid his lungs in their efforts. Using her dark power, she kept track of his heart as it beat. At first, it only showed signs of life every two to three seconds. But gradually, the more she transferred her power; the more she continued to aid him in support, the more his heart started to kick back up. Slowly but surely, his heart started to beat as normal, showing signs of life. Please be okay... Please... Spyro. Feeling his lips now, he proceeded to start kissing her as well, getting wide eyes from her to see his body was now moving. Shedding more tears, she showed a smile before closing her eyes once again and continuing to embrace her love. The others watched with joy to see his wounds were slowly being healed, not only from the help of the darkness, but the help of Ersa's potion as well. This brought back his brightened purple, gold, and orange colors to light. Even as much as she wished to enjoy the kiss, Cynder couldn't continue until she knew he was back to his old self. Baking off from the kiss, she was first to open her eyes. Because of this, she was able to inspect his body, and now being healed, she smiled, but still shedding a tear for the scare that had happened. His eyes opened now, and seeing his smile, his brightened eyes with shows of life, Cynder let off a huge sigh. Spyro kept on a smile, chuckling even after what's happened, "Hehe, I guess I wasn't, quite, ready, to use the purple flames for as long as I did," Cynder didn't say anything, but instead, smiled, listening to him talk with such ease now, "I... Do have high hopes that you enjoyed the time I was able to give you though..."

"No," She was quick to reject, and now, she acted with power, "I don't care how it felt; how it made me want to lay in your arms as you had your way with me, and thinking about how you'd slowly make me yours is... I..." Seeing a smile so wide it showed Spyro's teeth, she didn't allow this to get to him, "No... Nope! You will not, and I'm not playing, you understand me?! That purple fire of yours is off limits until you can control it was ease, until you know for sure it will not cause you any pain of any kind! I want a Spyro Promise on it, and we will not talk any further until you promise."

"Hehe, okay, okay. I Spyro Promise that I will not use my purple flames again until I get control over them," Seeing her let off another rather huge sigh, Spyro frowned as he understood her pain, "Cynder, I'm... Sorry... I just... When we were making out in the Chambers, and the night where I tried to show off my purple flames to Cyril and Flair, I just... I wanted you to have the best. I knew I was there, I knew there was something I could do, and seeing how crazed those two were over the purple flames, how comfortable it was... I... Wondered how you'd feel if I could... Use it... when we made out," Finally able to stand to his paws, he continued his apology as he turned to face her now, "I'm sorry I scared you... And... For you, saving my life after that... What shall you have me do?" Raising a brow now to his words, he chuckled with slight fear, "Your wish is my command."

"Carith," Ersa called over to her, and once Carith looked to her, she saw the bottle in her paw, "Remember the thing?"

"Oh!" Having forgotten, she rushed over to grab the bottle.

"'Your wish is my command'," Cynder echoed his words as, now, with the power she had, she wished for everything, "Hummmm..." Thinking on what the best possible outcome could be, an idea popped to her mind, "You, sir, are going to be a good dragon and stay in these Chambers while we take out you, and the rest of the Guardians," Raising a brow to her words, Cynder let off a giggle as she knew he had no idea, "Without your darkness, and your... Weak... state... Ahem... I was able to slip my poison past you."

"You poisoned me?!" Spyro cried, "Bu... Bu-bu-but, I was so weak... So vulnerable... Why...?"

Seeing his quivering lips, Cynder snapped her fingers, "Because, a girl like me, will, get, her way."

Finished with her words, Spyro jumped as his wings shot out, and once looked to both sides, he struggled to close them. With no prevail, he gasped as it made sense to him now, "No..." Looking to the other girls, he played along with their little game, "You all... Took out your males as well... Didn't you..." Seeing some smile while others giggled, Spyro growled to them, "They trusted you!" Now faced to Cynder, he let a smile show as he let off a low growl, "I trusted you..." Seeing her smile, she brought up her tail blade, "But how... What did you poison me with?"

"Oh-ho-ho," Giggling to herself, Cynder knew she had all the power here, "With my friend, Ersa, here, she knew we could make you all fall for our traps. With her, poison, we drip a drop of liquid to our lips and kiss the one we love."

"You..." Letting out a gasp, Spyro looked over to Malefor and tried to warn him, "Malefor! Don't trust her!" Even as he let out this cry, he watched as Malefor's wings shot open, revealing now that everyone had fallen victim, "No..." Looking back over to the other girls first, he then focused to Cynder, seeing her evil smile of victory, "How could you... The Guardians... Malefor... They're all... poisoned..." Letting a big smile show now, Cynder gave a raised brow to this, wondering what he was plotting, "No... No!" Slapping a paw down to the ground, Flair immediately grew defensive, but seeing the smile on his face, she was able to ease up sooner, "I will not stand for this... I shall deal with you first, and then I will help the others."

"I knew you were cute," She teased him, "Tell me, how are you going to help them if you yourself have already fallen victim to Ersa's poison?"

"You doubt my strength?" He smiled, "I'll break free of this curse, and it won't take my dark power to do that."

"HA!" Cynder laughed out loud, "Oh please. But, just to humor you; If you can close your wings without the use of your darkness, I'll let you have your way with me. Deal?"

"Ooooooooooh..." Spyro purred, now knowing he couldn't fail.

"Does that mean you two are gonna bang?" Malefor called out as he couldn't resist asking.

Both blushed, but neither responded as they kept their eyes on one another, smiling as they liked the tension between one another. Backing up from her, Spyro shuck his body some before taking a deep breath in, and then out. Intrigued to see if he could do it, not only did Cynder watch with such interest, but so did everyone else. Smiling, Ersa patted herself on the back as she knew he'd fail, "I don't want you to feel bad if you can't do it, Spyro. You're basically trying to break a tree in half with your thumb. I used a special ingredient that makes your wing movements impossible."

"Impossible?" Spyro laughed, "I like those odds."

"What a bad ass," Malefor chuckled to Spyro's one-liner.

Moving his paws off to the side some, Spyro pushed inwards with his paws as his entire body flexed, showing off his muscles to everyone. Cynder especially gave a blush as the sun shined on him perfectly, showing every drop of sweat as he struggled, showing every single curve to his arms that showed his strength. Seeing him continue to struggle without any hopes of getting anywhere, Ersa teased him, "Damn, Spyro. I knew you were a lot of things, but an embarrassment? Hehe, you should..."

Wide eyes were quickly shown on everyone's faces, including Ersa's as they watched with awe as his wings were now slowly moving inwards, back towards his body. His face started to show red though as the pain and amount of strength it took was beyond what he had thought, but he kept at it. His paws unfortunately started to shift inwards as he couldn't hold it, but it was a quick fix for him. Digging his claws into the ground now, including his feet, he had all the support he needed. No words could be spoken or even thought of as his wings reached the sides of his body. Connected back to his sides after such struggles, Spyro let out a huge sigh, breathing heavily as sweat dripped nearly endlessly off his forehead. Cynder's heart kicked up to see he had actually done it, but once he was finally able to look at her with such a cocky smile, her heart nearly slammed to her chest, being heard even in her head. Smiling with such power now, Spyro approached her. For some reason she couldn't understand, her body gave into him. His approach caused her to fall to her back end before she eased herself down and laid to her back. Liking his lips to see this, Spyro teased her, "What a good girl. Laying to your back so willingly for me," Walking over her now, she held her paws and legs close to her body, and with every tease forced another shiver from her, "You know I own you," Ersa now backed off from the two now as things were getting a little too hot and heavy around the two, "What was it you said? Something about how I could have my way with you?" He noticed as she swallowed hard, and to push this tease beyond its limits, he neared her before whispering right next to her, "My salvia isn't in your mouth yet, so why are you swallowing?"

Letting off a fiery red blush, even as she tried to keep her mouth closed, there wasn't any stopping her as she had to continue her breaths from her mouth as her body warmed. Covering his mouth as he nearly threw up, Malefor took what Spyro had said in a different light, "Dude... Take out saliva, and that's such an out of context sentence. Like, bleep out that word and it'd be so awkward," This made everyone else aside from Spyro and Cynder almost throw up as well, but his words made himself chuckle, "Haha! Dude! That's so gross!"

"And just think... You're stuck here with them," Carith giggled as a way to get him to fear.

"F That! My wings can fit through the main doors to this bundling so, I'ma do a loop since, well... There's not exactly a roof to the Training Room until Ignitus fixes it, WHICH BETTER BE AFTER I LEAVE!" He cried out to the sky, knowing Ignitus would try something just to mess with him, "I mean, I could always just blow up the ceiling if he did but, the only thing I'd ever wish to destroy..." With a raised brow, a smirk, and even a blush, Malefor got close to Carith, almost nose to nose as he whispered with warm breaths to her lips, "Is you."

A quick blush formed to her face, and while Carith wished to savor the moment of teasing, Flair growled against his words, "Oh really? Then what was all that stuff you did with the world? What about all the other lives you destroyed along the way?" She had taken it literal which broke the joy the two had as now he backed off from Carith with a frown, "Thought you said you loved Carith? Why are you trying to screw over her life now?"

"Flair," Ersa stepped in which caught her attention, "It was just a joke. A sexual one, but just a simple joke," Flair scuffed as she still held hate for Malefor, but to help ease the blow for everyone, Ersa took the steps needed to get everyone where they should be, "For now, let us celebrate! We've taken out the Guardians and the purple dragons. And in honor of our celebration, we shall sit in the Chambers and cheer," Walking over to the entrance of the Training Room, she looked over to Malefor first, "And, Malefor, I wouldn't mind if you were there too. The hallway is big enough for your wings so, you'll be able to watch us girls celebrate your loss. And having you frown will be quite enjoyable for all."

Thankfully, her words helped Malefor as he smiled once again, "And what makes you think we won't rise up against your efforts?"

"A revolution?"

"Hehe, if you'd like. But just know, after what you've done, what you've all, done... It'll take a long time before you ever get our trust back."

"We'll see about that," She smirked before waving a paw to the other girls, "Come on, girls. We have a date with destiny," Stood to the side of the door, the girls one by one walked to and out of the room, though as she looked to Cynder, she was too busy moaning with pleasure for all Spyro was doing for her, so she knew she was a lost cause, "Damn girl. Spyro really got you good," She now turned herself and walked out the door just before catching a glimpse of Malefor flying to the sky, and to give the two privacy, she shut the door with her tail before looking to the others as they stood in the middle of the hallway, waiting for her, "Hehe, this is great! And, what was that about our males having more power over us? Flair? Any input?"

Quick to show her teeth, Flair was also quick with her words, "The day's not over yet."
