Spyro and Ember 2

The Missing Tale of Spyro

Chapter 1 Reunited At Last

"Spyro? Is that you?",Ember asked in shock. The purple dragon smiled.

"How many purple dragons are there? Yea it's me Ember. It's so great to see you again."

Ember's heart was beginning to slow down after that little shock she had earlier, "I thought you were gone. I heard you ran away from us after",Ember stopped right there trying not to remind her friend the fate of his mother.

"After my mom died?",Spyro finished.

Ember sat for a second then answered, "Yea, I'm sorry. I'm probably just bringing you grief and sorrow."

Ember layed her head low and Spyro walked over to her to comfort her, "It's alright, I'm over it."

Ember lifted her head with a smile, "I'm glad your back. When I overheard you disappeared I didn't know what to do. I even tried looking for you one day."

Day of Spyro's Disappearance

Ember walked into her room disappointed that Spyro wasn't at school again today. She flopped on her bed and stared out the window into the partly cloudy skies. It looked as if it was going to rain later on today for even more heavy clouds were in the distance.

Then Ember began hearing some noise coming from outside of her room. "Selvinus, have you heard anything of Spyro?",Ember overheard her father say.

She quickly paced toward the door and stopped with her head peeking around the corner. In the hall was her father and some other unrecognizable yellow dragon with a blue underbelly. At least she didn't know who it was but evidently her father knew. Ember studied her father. From his orange scales to his curved claws. His horns were curved back and his wings looked as if they were been through some rough battles from time to time.

"I spotted some tracks that led into the forest. I followed them but then they just suddenly stopped",Selvinus explained.

"They just stopped?"

Selvinus nodded, "No idea what happened. Maybe he's covering his tracks."

Ember's father shook his head, "Why? He's not being hunted it just doesn't make any sense."

Selvinus thought then answered, "He's clearly depressed."

"Of course he is Selvinus his mother died a few days ago remember?"

Ember was shocked. She didn't hear anything about this matter. No wonder Spyro was nowhere to be found. She continued eavesdropping for more information.

"I know, horrible day that was",Selvinus said then looked toward the ground and scratched an itch on his left paw remembering the day it happened.

"I just hope Spyro is alright."

Selvinus looked up at the taller dragon, "I'm sure he is, he's a smart dragon he knows what he's doing. Heck if he can cover his tracks like he did at his age then evidently he knows what he's doing."

Ember's father thought then asked, "Where did you say you lost the tracks?"

Selvinus answered right away, "In the forest about north of here. There's a trail that leads through the forest which is where I found the prints."

"Well it's our only lead so far. Spyro's father acts a little suspicious to me also. I think he knows something."

Selvinus sat for a second then said, "Want someone to spy on him?"

"No, we'll wait it out for him. As for Spyro we'll have a search party."

"When?",Selvinus asked.

"When I say",Selvinus simply heard.

Ember's father walked by Selvinus and walked into the kitchen. Selvinus began walking toward Ember's room making Ember close her door to a crack before Selvinus saw her. Selvinus stopped as the door shut. He sat for a second then shrugged and continued walking toward the exit.

"Spyro",Ember began in her thoughts. She thought about him. The more she did the more worried she became. Then the pink dragon thought up a ridiculous plan. She would try and find him. It was reckless of course but she didn't care. She wanted her friend back safe and sound.

She waited a in her room for things to quiet down. An hour and a half passed. Time flew fast for Ember while she thought about what could have happened to Spyro's mother. Ember was just only four years old but that didn't stop her from sneaking out the house. That's what she did. When the coast was clear she snuck out and headed toward the northern forest. She had a good sense of direction. Some dragons she passed by wondered why a child was all by herself. Some made some faint whispers to one another. Ember continued on the road until she saw the forest Selvinus mentioned earlier. She knew it was the one for she saw a path heading straight into the heart of the forest. She looked around before moving ahead. Then she heard thunder. Ember looked up behind her and some dense clouds were coming towards her. Ember looked back at the forest then ran toward it as fast as she could.

When Ember got deep enough in the forest where her home was no longer visible she stopped to take a rest. She examined her surroundings. Dense woods and some birds and crickets were chirping. The sound of a woodpecker echoed across the forest and Ember looked on the path for tracks as Selvinus described. She didn't see any, but it didn't stop her. She walked down the path and little ways in search for them. A few minutes passed and Ember finally came across some tracks. At least she thought it was tracks. It was really hard to tell if it was dragon tracks. The tracks were slowly disappearing due to the wind blowing the sand and dirt around. She followed them anyways it was the only lead she had for the moment.

"Spyro!",Ember yelled. But she heard no response. She walked down the path a little more ways then yelled, "Spyro! Where are you!" Still nothing.

A few more minutes down the path and then the tracks weren't visible anymore. To make matters worse it was beginning to rain. The raindrops came down on Ember making her feel colder.

"Spyro!"

Ember looked back down at the ground where the tracks ended. This must have been what Selvinus mentioned about the tracks just ending. This was the end of the line.

"Ember!"

Ember looked behind her where the voice had come from. No it wasn't Spyro.

"Ember!",the voice yelled again. It was getting closer. Ember quickly looked around for Spyro one last time. Then she heard some rustle in some nearby bushes off the path. Ember looked at the bush. It was bigger than her that was for sure.

"Ember! There you are!"

Ember looked behind her to see her father. Ember looked down on the dirt path then back up at her father.

"Do you know how worried I've been? What are you doing out here?",her father demanded.

"I'm looking for Spyro daddy."

"Spyro?"

"I know what happened daddy. I know what happened to Spyro and his mom. We gotta find him daddy!"

"Honey we tried to look for him. We'll look some more tomorrow. I promise."

"But what if he's in trouble?! What if he's lost?!"

"I'm sorry Ember but I have to worry about you right now. Your my daughter and I don't want you to catch a cold in this rain. Come on let's get home."

Ember sat for a second then nodded though not wanting to. Her father led the way back. Ember took one last look behind her with hope of Spyro coming back.

"Please come back."

Present Day

"How long has it been?",Spyro asked as he peeked through the bushes and spotted some nearby dragons. They were talking to each other then walked right by the bushes. Spyro returned his attention to Ember.

"Six years I think",Ember responded.

Spyro shook his head, "Doesn't feel like it's been that long. Next time we get a chance let's get out of these bushes. I'm starting to get an itch."

Ember smiled, "You haven't changed a bit."

"How not? I'm taller than last time."

Ember giggled then asked in a more serious tone, "Whatever happened to you anyways? The day you disappeared. Why?"

Spyro shrugged, "What do you think? My mom died I felt so alone and needless when it happened."

Ember stared, "No Spyro there was something else. You wouldn't have disappeared for six years like that. What really happened?"

Spyro sighed, "Alright, there was something else. A few days after my mother died my dad told me the truth. The truth of what really happened to my mother."

"I thought she died from heart failure",Ember said.

Spyro shook his head, "That was what I thought until my dad told me the truth and not to worry."

"Worry about what?",Ember asked.

Spyro took a deep breath then peeked through the bushes again, "Hey the coast is clear we should get moving."

"Why don't you want to be seen?"

Spyro shrugged, "Reunions, hate them. Especially large crowds."

"Well what about our reunion?",Ember asked.

"That's different."

"How so?",Ember asked as she took positions beside Spyro.

"It, just is. We should get going before someone comes back."

The two dragons crawled out the bushes and quickly looked around. No one was in sight.

"So where are we going?",Ember asked.

"To take a walk",Spyro replied.
