Chapter 1 - A Saviour Appears
I move my way through the field in front of me, in the night, the area was quiet, quiet enough for me to let my thoughts wonder. What was I going to do now? I have served what I needed in Warfang, what else can I do? I'm just a standard ice dragon who doesn't have the power to become a guardian and I'm weak myself. I walk myself through and see a dragon sitting on a ridge, covered up in bandages. The dragon was staring up at the sky, taking to something that I could not see.
The dragon looked extremely down, almost lost. I moved closer and hid myself inside of a bush that was tall enough to hide me. I sat inside of it, closing my eyes enough so that they didn't give me away, my eyes shine very bright when late at night. I saw the dragon move closer to the edge, it's body giving off signs of distraught. It removed the bandages and stepped closer to the edge. No… it's going to jump off!
I jump out of the bush that I was hidden in and ran up behind the dragon, she had already readied her jump, I swished my tail around and used my crescent-shaped tail and planted it into the ground with the tail embedded beneath it. I ripped into the skin a bit to make sure that it was going nowhere, I saw that it was a female with it's slender body and smaller head. She shrieked as she felt the pain and fell off the cliff, The tail stood under my tail blade, unmoving, but causing some friction and I could hear the pain in her voice. I opened my mouth and breathed some ice particles onto the ground, freezing it to the ground, I lift my Tail Blade off her tail and see if it would hold, and it did.
I jump up and flapped my turquoise wings, moving myself over the edge to see the black and red dragon in question, I lowered myself down to eye level, hovering there to see if she had passed out. She wasn't, she was actually crying. Why? I just saved herself from killing herself. I get underneath and push herself up and onto land, where I land next to her, the temporary lock melting into the ground.
POV Shift → 3rd Person.
Cynder lays on the floor, crying that her suicide attempt failed to get her closer to Spyro. She looked at the black dragon who was sitting next to her, she was angry with herself for trying, but more angry at him for stopping her. "WHY!? Why did you save me?" She shouted at the black dragon. Her tears subsiding into even more anger. She lunged at the black dragon. Making him move back. He stood there, not saying a word. "Answer me!" She shouted again and clawed at him again, this time striking him and drawing blood.
"I was only trying to help." The black dragon said. Moving away from cynder to stop himself from getting hurt. "Please don't hurt me." He shrunk to as small as he could.
"But why me? Can't you see I'm in a emotional state right now?!" The dragon moved towards Cynder and looked at her scars that she had accumulated over time. Cynder didn't like that. "Keep your eyes off them, none of your business."
"How do you have so many and not dying of blood loss?" The black dragon questioned. Looking over them again, some of them still open. "You should see a doctor for them, they will kill you if you don't get them sorted."
Cynder lost her strength to be angry any more. she looked at the ground. "I'm going to die soon of loneliness anyway, this will make it quicker. I would be happy if you let me fall to my death."
"How would that help you? Dying is the worst thing that could happen to someone."
"Not for what I have been through."
"Explain, you are making a fool of me by not telling me." The black dragon looked away. "How about we start again?" He looked back at her. "My name is Lunar, I am an ice dragon, I live in Warfang." He said in a calm voice that didn't want to scare her again.
Cynder debated whether to actually co-operate with him or just try and jump off the cliff again, but Lunar had placed himself between the edge and where she was, she was mentally dried as well. "My name is Cynder, I was formerly known as the 'Terror of the skies', the big black dragon who roamed the lands, killing everyone who got in my way." She looked at him to see if he had the same reaction as some other dragons. But he just stood there, looking at her intently. "Wait, have you heard of me?"
"Yes, but I don't see a big black Dragon that had invaded my home village, she was muc bigger, you couldn't possible be her." Lunar made his point, Cynder was not the size that she had been when she was infested by the dark magic. "Do you still harbor said thought about killing other dragons?"
"Well, other than myself, no." Cynder answered truthfully.
"Well then I have nothing to worry about do I?
"I guess so." Cynder moved her wings to be tucked in but the wings touched some of the scars that had opened, causing burning pain to go through that part of her body "Ah, crap."
"Listen, lets get you to the Hospital in Warfang, they can patch you up and get those scars reversed." Lunar said and he nudged Cynder to move with him, they walked down the path that Cynder had followed and they reached a lake, it was the gap that split Warfang from where she had been. "Can you fly?"
"I can try." Cynder sighed. She flapped her wings and hovered above the floor for a second, Lunar joined her and they flew their way to Warfang.
About half the way there, there was already a hiccup in proceedings. Cynder had increasingly become hurt with the wing movement but never voiced her concern, not wanting to put more pressure onto her helper. Lunar became suspicious and turned his head around. Seeing Cynder in pain, her slowed and hovered under her. "Cynder, lower yourself onto me. You need rest!" He moved upwards to let the dragoness rest on his back while her flew forward.
"No, you don't need to. I can make it the rest of the way." She said back definitely
"If you keep going, you are going to tear your wings off! Set down on me, if you don't you will fall into the lake below." Lunar returned with a stern glare, Cynder gave in and lowered herself onto his back and stopped flapping her wings, the pain of the movement stopped and she sighed in relief that she didn't have to do that anymore.
"You sure you can get us there?" She asked
"Yes, we have no more then another few minutes of flying, I should be able to get us there." He lowered in the sky to get ready to look for Warfang.
"You are strong for your size." Cynder said as a fact.
"Lets say trying to move a moon is a tough ordeal." He said back cryptically.
"What does that even mean?" Cynder questioned.
"You will find out when you get better, trust me." He replied.
Lunar landed and let Cynder off his back, they both shared an embarrassed glance before they move back a gate to Warfang. They walked up to the Guard who was standing outside, a crimson coloured dragon moved towards the two, with his eyes set on Cynder. She kept up with Lunar. She was worried about what she had done before and it would have spread throughout Warfang by now.
Lunar stopped and put himself between the two before anything can happen. "Sorry Sir, but why are you looking at my acquaintance so suspiciously."
He huffed and took a smug face. "Your acquaintance here is wanted for attempted murder and resisting arrest."
Lunar looked back to Cynder. "Is this true?"
Cynder looked down to the floor. "It is." Lunar looked at her and then turned to the guard who was staring at them. He moved his body slightly to the left and the guard went wide eyed at him. He changed his tone and dropped his head in a bow like fashion.
"Leave us alone and there will be no trouble, I'm sure this is a misunderstanding." He said calmly and pulled Cynder's forepaw with him to the gate, where the guard had opened it up for them.
"Of course Sir, I welcome you back to Warfang." He said and shut the gate behind them when they went in.
Cynder looked behind them and had to think over what had just happened. "Wha? Why? When? How?" She stuttered.
"Having a powerful family can really be useful sometimes. Well, most the time." He said with pride as they walked down the streets of Warfang. Cynder felt the weight of her body pull her down again as she dropped to the floor. He face planting into it. Lunar turned as soon as he heard her body dropped and saw that they were only a few meters away from the Hospital. He dragged her body with him, up the stairs of the Hospital. He met up with a pink dragoness. It was Ember again.
"So that's where she went, I have been worried sick at her, she suddenly hurt somebody for insulting her and Spyro, then she bolts off, I shouldn't have expected less. Thank you again, you want to come with me this time?" Ember asked as she hauled Cynder through the halls into the room she had occupied before.
"Sure… let me jus...t...t." Lunar's eyelids fell forward as he smacked the ground in exhaustion. He had pulled Cynder and carried her for a good part of the way.
"Great, now both of them are down, well, more gems for me then…" Ember sighed as she pulled Lunar's unconscious body into the room.
1 Day later
Lunar opens his eyes to a pink blur in front of him, his vision clears up and his white eyes shine once again. "Ugh.. what did I not do?" He slurred out as he lifted his head off the floor, his jaw in pain, he touched it and
found bandages round it. "Well, crap, my face." Pain entered the equation. "OW!-" He shut up as more talking would hurt it further.
"You eyes are really bright. How do you even see?" Ember said to herself.
"Just because you can't see why doesn't mean I can't see doctor." Lunar grinned as Ember pulled away from and him and allowed him to sit up onto his haunches.
"Whatever." She replied and went over to another dragon in the room, this one was Cynder.
"Cynder, honey can you hear me?" She asked the dazed dragon who didn't hear any of it. "Dammit, thought she would be up along with you. speaking of which, you stay put, your not leaving this time."
"Why did you think I was going to leave in the first place?"
"Cause you did last time."
"Hey! I was being kind last time, this time I helped her from over the lake to here, I'm going to be here for when she wakes up. Anyway, why do I feel like I've had just the right amount of sleep?"
"I gave your body some green crystals, they help to give you energy. And you had scarring on your back, how did you do that?" She questioned to Lunar.
"Scarring?" Lunar answered with a confused glare.
"You had deep gashes about 4 units long (about 6cm) that look like the come from a dragon." Ember added and Lunar though of what could have done that, then it hit him, Cynder had done that, while she was on his back, she must have dug her claws in and I didn't feel a thing?
"Oh, Cynder must have done that to me. You fixed them right?"
"Yeah, I didn't waste too many crystals on you, I gave the majority to Cynder here, her scars being reopened is a medical nightmare."
"Yeah, sorry about that, I may have cause some of them."
"Not many, most of them were reopened when she was attacked by a electricity dragon outside the Hospital, she attacked him back."
"I kinda guessed, I had to use my families power to enter the city without any commotion."
"Family in high places? Wealthy?"
"More like the Defenders of Warfang."
"Oh really?" Ember said and they both stopped talking when they heard a moan emanate from Cynder, she opened one eye and said.
"Not her again…"
