Chapter eight: Draining thoughts
Spyro flew through the air looking toward Cynder before returning his gaze forward. The sun was at it's highest in the sky and at it's brightest. Even if they were dead they could feel the heat. It didn't faze or bother them. It just made them rather hot. Cynder swallowed trying to keep her mind off the heat. What she didn't know was it was mating season and being dead made it to where she didn't have the normal symptoms. Both Spyro and Cynder continued on to the Chronicler's cave.
"Spyro can we rest for a little bit?" asked Cynder tiredly.
"Sure, let's stop by that bank." Spyro pointed lowering his flight path.
Cynder was the first to land, stepping over to a river. The bank seemed cooler and the running water seemed to give them energy.
"Do you feel refreshed Spyro?" Questioned Cynder.
"Yea, I guess certain terrain effect us while we are dead." Guessed Spyro.
Cynder laid down attempting to drink from the river but failing. She sighed as she looked over to Spyro stating, "I wish we could at least eat and drink."
"Yea... I'm getting thirsty too... maybe if we find another crystal might help." Wondered Spyro.
"Spyro...?" Cynder asked lowly.
"Is something wrong?" Spyro wondered.
"Do... do you remember what I said when we sacrificed ourselves?" asked Cynder looking wishfully into Spyro's eyes.
"No... what did you say?" Spyro questioned curiously.
"I... said... I love you Spyro..." Cynder said with a light glow of red on her cheeks. The grass rustling around her as the wind started to pick up.
All fell quiet as Spyro looked at her with slight confusion on his face, "I... Didn't know you felt that way..."
"I.. always have... at least since that night that I tried to run from the temple. I cried when I ran but I thought it was the only way. I didn't want the darkness to find me again." Cynder said looking down into the water, seeing no reflection.
"I just dismissed the thought of loving you because I thought you didn't like me." Spyro assumed.
"What, Why would you think that?" Questioned Cynder.
"Well you always kept to yourself and it took being chained to you for you to get closer to me." Spyro pointed out.
"I... I'm sorry for that. I was... running from myself and then.... You happened. I've never had anyone try so hard to make me happy, just to be my friend." announced Cynder, her eyes starting to tear up.
"I was only trying to be nice." Spyro admitted.
"So... you don't like me, you were only being nice?" Stated Cynder, her eyes welled up with tears.
"I admit I'm nice to you because it's the way I am, but I do have feelings for you. I haven't really thought about my feelings of you or the others for that matter." Said Spyro.
Cynder wiped away the tears as she asked, "Well... what feelings do you have for me?"
"I..." paused Spyro thinking to himself for a moment before answering, "I... love you too."
Cynder grinned happily pushing her head into his arms.
"I've never seen you so emotional before." Spyro pointed out.
"Sorry, Ever since we died I was wondering if you heard me or if you was just ignoring it." stated Cynder.
"Sorry, I couldn't hear much in the convexity state."
"So... what now?" questioned Cynder.
"I don't know, we should just stay focused on getting to the chronicler's cave." Spyro motioned.
"Yea, or we could... stay for awhile?" Cynder tried to say seductively.
"No, every second we stay dead the more of a chance we give the Dark Master a chance to get to us." Spyro explained.
"I.. we better get going then..." Cynder said almost whispering disappointed.
Spyro took to the air first, with Cynder soon following. Cynder let out a sigh of disappointment as she flew closely behind Spyro. It didn't take long before they could see the Chronicler's cave in the distance.
"Dark Master Sir, why did you come here for your base?" A minion questioned.
"Because, Spyro has to come here to be resurrected and I intend to steal his life force to come alive once more." Maverick stated.
"How will that bring me and your humble servants back?" The Minion wondered.
"YOU IDIOT, I've already explained that. When I'm alive I will kill the guardians and the Chronicler, then I will resurrect all that has fallen that serve me." Maverick stated.
"Yes Master." The Minion cowered.
Maverick covered the minions mouth as he shushed him. Ignitus and the other guardians walked into the main room with all the documents and started to converse amongst themselves.
"Ignitus, have you checked on Spyro and Cynder?" questioned Cyril.
"Yes, they are almost here. First though I have decided to take a little precaution." Ignitus stated.
"What would that be Mr. Chronicler?" Terrador said playfully.
"Well I've been paying attention to the Dark Master's book as well in my free time. He seems to be right here with us in the room. His book stated that he was also given a chance at life to redeem himself. He could either help Spyro come back to life, or harm them. If he harmed them he would be sent straight to the demonic astral plain." Ignitus explained.
"So there's no risk of him being resurrected?" asked Kira curiously.
"I don't believe so, but we shouldn't take any risks. I'm going to warn Spyro right now." Ignitus stated opening Spyro's book.
He found the appropriate page and started reading. Spyro seemed to be right outside the door to Ignitus's cave right now and heading on in.
"Spyro, Cynder, can you hear me?" Ignitus called out.
"Yes Ignitus, we are here." Spyro pointed out.
"I know, but just to warn you. The Dark Master is here but I don't think he will be a problem." Ignitus warned.
"Why do you think that?" Cynder asked.
"I have put a spell on the place, any evil spirits are frozen in place." Ignitus said.
"Damn it...." Maverick stated.
"Master I can't move." The minion stated trying to pull his gremlin claws from the floor.
"I know you moron." Maverick hissed.
"Ok Ignitus, we are coming in." Spyro announced stepping in and walking passed the elemental dragon.
Cynder snickered at the funny looking stuck Maverick and his minion as she sat next to Spyro in front of Ignitus.
"Ok Ignitus, how do we resurrect ourselves?" Spyro asked patientely.
"It said in the book that all you half to do is go through four stages, Earth, Ice, Fire, Thunder. Once you have done so, you can return to life." Ignitus explained as he read out of his own book of the Chronicler.
"Ok, which one is first?" Cynder was the first to ask.
"I guess we should just pick one. If it's alright, let's go with earth since it's first in the book." Ignitus proclaimed.
"We're ready when you are." Spyro grinned looking over at Cynder. Cynder returned the smile as they turned their attention to Ignitus.
"It say you need to attach yourself to the earth, think of what attaches yourselves to this planet, and say it out lout." Ignitus read.
Cynder went first since she thought of hers first, "Spyro."
Spyro looked over shocked at what he heard. He thought for a second but he couldn't find any other attachment so he said boldly, "Cynder...."
Cynder grinned and looked at Spyro lovingly.
"OK, next is Ice. You need to freeze the hate in your heart. Announce what you hate and forgive it." Ignitus kept reading.
Spyro looked to the ground then over to Maverick which seemed to be struggling against himself. Trying to break free. Spyro sighed as he looked over to Cynder then back again. His eyes being met with Maverick's. Spyro grinned slightly as he built up his emotions, "Maverick, I forgive you."
Maverick stopped struggling at what he heard, "What... how can you forgive someone that tried to destroy everything, your even weaker than I thought."
"Because you didn't and everything is ok." Spyro said with a grin.
Maverick swallowed adverting his gaze from Spyro. Unsure to be outraged or upset. His emotions were now going awry and he didn't know why. His anger started to get the best of him, "If I have the chance, AND I WILL, I will kill you all. I will have my revenge."
Spyro only ignored him as he awaited Cynder to speak. Cynder looked to Spyro as she said, "I forgive myself, for being succumb by the darkness for so long."
"Next is fire, what fuels your life?"
"I want to find out more about my ancestors, and possibly... my parents." Spyro said looking down as if deep in thought.
"I want..." Cynder paused not sure of what to say. Then she asked, "Can they be the same answer as a previous one?"
"As long as it's true in your heart and it applies to the element, then yes." Ignitus stated.
"Then... Spyro, I want to befriend him like he has me." Cynder said giving a bashful grin to Spyro.
"Finally is Thunder, what sparks your life." Ignitus stated looking at the book.
"Spyro!" Maverick beckoned.
Spyro didn't answer, he only looked over.
"Spyro, I can make you immortal! Join me and be powerful." Maverick pleaded.
"Why would I want that?" Spyro asked with no emotion in his voice or on his face.
"So you could rule, be in charge. No one could tell you what to do!" Maverick said getting out of breath as he was hyperventilating.
"I don't need that." Spyro stated selflessly.
"Everyone needs it. All through out any world I've seen, war is brought over power." Maverick persuaded.
"What would that bring me? Nothing!" Spyro said raising his voice.
"How... could you say that?" Maverick growled hating himself for being curious.
"I have respect, I have done nothing but help put an end to you and your evil minions and have made so many friends doing so. Why would I give that up?" Questioned Spyro.
"Your weak.... unless they fear you they wont truly respect you." Maverick tried once more.
"Tell me! Would any of your minions save your life if you were about to die? Where was your minions down in the belt of fire?" Spyro yelled.
"I.... They are just cowards, useless trash. I had to do it myself." Maverick tried to reassure his own beliefs.
"They serve you, some of them even love you. Why do you put them through so much?" Asked Spyro.
"I don't need to prove anything...." Maverick hissed.
"Then why are you so worked up then?" Spyro said lowering his voice.
Maverick fell silent looking away. When Maverick never did answer, Spyro turned his attention to Cynder. Which started to say, "My spark is a chance at being good for a change."
Cynder's body began to glow and her body began to lose osculation and become visible to the others. Cynder smiled as she tried to say to Spyro, "OK, your turn Spy."
Spyro started to say something before turning to Maverick, "I'm sorry your life has went down such a bad path, but maybe even in the afterlife you will get another chance. As for me, I intend to spend the rest of my life protecting this planet."
Just as Spyro stopped talking his body began to glow as well. His form coming into reality. Life being breathed into his former body as Cynder and Spyro stood in front of their friends in the Chronicler's cave.
"Welcome back!" Everyone announced.
"Thank you everyone!" Cynder and Spyro said laughing.
