THE COST OF TRUTH
Allow me to set the scene...
this takes place after love at first sight, but does not tie in to lucifers kingdom in any way. it wont be as long as my other stories, and the chapters may be a little short, so I apologize in advance for that.
Spyro and Amber are involved. Spyro is now 18 and Amber is now 20. Amber is broken up with Deo, and Spyro learns once and for all who really cares about him.
Spyro also has a few new friends he has made since being in school. they are Dwight, chris, and gordon, and they will play a painfully important role in this story of betreyal.
so without any further delay, let us begin...
The sun shines brightly into Spyro's cave, managing to find his eye no matter where he moved.
he got up, and readied himself for another day.
he stretched his wings and yawned, then looked over at his roomate, Flame.
"Flame, get up or we'll be late for class." Spyro warned putting a mint leaf in his mouth to combat his morning breath.
Flame stirred, muttered something inaudible, then rolled over.
Spyro sighed to himself as he walked over to him and yanked the covers off of him to reveal Ember in the bed with him.
this was not a shock to him, because since Flame and herself had started going out, she had become accustomed to sleeping in their cave.
"Ember dont you have a place to live?" Spyro asked with an 'its too early for this' inflection
"Yes, but I like your place so much more..." she said yawning as well.
Spyro rolled his eyes and shook flame again
"Lets go dude we cant be late again!"
"Ok, ok I'm up...I'm up!"
Flame got ready and the both of them hustled out to the temple. this was there last year of schooling and they were eternally thankful for that.
"Ember has no idea how lucky she is that female school starts at noon."
"Agreed." Spyro said as the temple came into view. the two genders started out in the same class, but as hormones developed they were separated between the four elders. Ignitus and Terrador had the two boys classes, and Cyril and Voltier had the two girls classes.
they entered the temple on time, and sat down by gordo and dwight.
"What up broskis." Flame said and Spyro nodded.
"Not much boys, too early for this stuff ya know?" dwight said
"Way too early." Spyro agreed.
Ignitus entered the room and started the class
toward the end of the day, he called the class' attention.
"Alright boys, as you know, the annual cruise to the islands off dragon shores is in a few days, and I still need the names of the dates a few people."
"Spyro, who are you taking?" Ignitus asked
'Oh damn, I still havent asked anyone...'
"I'll let you know tomorrow Ignitus"
"Very well...Flame, who are you taking?"
"I'm taking Ember."
"Ok then...Spyro dont forget to give me a name by tomorrow." Ignitus said writing Embers name down and dismissing the class.
outside, Flame caught up with Spyro
"I cant believe you havent asked anyone on the cruise yet! Do you at least have anyone in mind?"
"Yeah, I think I'm going to ask Cynder."
"She is nice...you kinda like her dont ya?" Flame teased
"I guess you could say that." Spyro said smiling
they got back to the cave and Spyro grabbed his com crystal and pushed Cynder's symbol.
he waited a little while, and she answered.
"Hey Spyro! whats going on?"
"Not much, just wanted to know if you were going to be busy this weekend."
"Well...Cyril is making us take exams on monday, so I'll be studying all weekend. why?"
"Ignitus' cruise to the islands is this weekend, but Exams are more important."
"Yeah...sorry Spyro. Thanks for the invite though! I'll see you when you get back!"
Spyro hung up the phone and faced Flame
"Well? Can she go?" he asked
"No...she has exams...damn that Cyril..." Spyro said laying on his bed
"Who am I suppose to take now?" Spyro asked himself
"I dont know man..."
Then a thought entered Spyro's head... one that Flame recognized immediately.
"NO! Spyro, no! Negative, no no no no I know who you are thinking about bringing and I say nay, a thousand times no!" Flame said sternly
"I dont know Flame...a lot has changed since then."
"Dont you remember what she did to you?! How can you even talk to her after that?"
"It's ok Flame, that was forever ago, we're just friends now, it'll be fine."
"Whatever Spyro, but if she starts acting the way she used to, I'm throwing her overboard."
"Ok, deal." Spyro laughed as he pressed the symbol for Amber.
Like I said, the chapters may be a bit short, but I'll try to make them as long as possible without dragging them out. anyway, the theme song for the entire story is Tears Dont Fall by Bullet for my valentine. I left the link for the video below but if that doesnt work, just youtube search. and it does have some words that may be inaudible to you non-hardcore fans, so the lyrics are below.

Lets go!
With blood shot eyes I watch you sleeping
The warmth I feel beside me is slowly fading
Would she hear me if I called her name?
Would she hold me if she knew my shame?
There's always something different going wrong
The path I walk's in the wrong direction
There's always someone fucking hanging on
Can anybody help me make things better?
Your tears don't fall
They crash around me
Her conscience calls the guilty to come home
Your tears don't fall
They crash around me
Her conscience calls the guilty to come home
The moments died, I hear no screaming
The visions left inside me are slowly fading
Would she hear me if I called her name?
Would she hold me if she knew my shame?
There's always something different going wrong
The path I walk's in the wrong direction
There's always someone fucking hanging on
Can anybody help me make things better?
Your tears don't fall
They crash around me
Her conscience calls the guilty to come home
Your tears don't fall
They crash around me
Her conscience calls the guilty to come home
Oh! Yeah!
This battered room I've seen before
The broken bones they heal no more, no more
With my last breath I'm choking
Will this ever end I'm hoping
My world is over one more time
Lets go
Would she hear me if i called her name?
Would she hold me, if she knew my shame?
There's always something to be going wrong
The path I walk's in the wrong direction
There's always someone fucking hanging on
Can anybody help me make things better?
Your tears don't fall
They crash around me
Her conscience calls the guilty to come home
Your tears don't fall tears don't fall
They crash around me
Her conscience calls the guilty to come HOME!
PEACE!
