Legend of the black dragon
Chapter 7 a friend's aid
The sun came shining through the window as Georga eyes were still open. She had locked herself up in her room right after she got home and she hadn't slept at all during the night.
"You don't even know what I feels like to lose someone like that!" Oxidus his words kept repeating themselves in her mind.
"He knows that's not true but how could he say something like that to me?" She kept thinking
She looked again at the black burn marks on her wings, the wounds had mostly healed so they didn't hurt anymore but they were still visible "And he also attacked me when I was only trying to help".
"Oxidus what has happened to you?" She despaired.
"Why are you so fierce? And why did you act towards me like that?" Georga just couldn't figure out why her best friend had been so hostile towards her.
"Didn't that promise mean anything to you Oxidus?" Georga once again felt tears forming in her eyes.
In the dragon citadel Spyro and Cynder were waking up and decided to fly a bit around together.
Cynder looked at the purple dragon that was flying beside her "It's nice to make a stroll with him instead of alone".
They stopped and laid down inside a damaged tower that stood in the middle of the city to rest a bit before returning to the citadel.
"Hey Spyro doesn't this place look familiar" Cynder said as she intently recognised the building.
"Yeah this was the place were we fought that earth golem" Spyro answered as he remembered fighting the huge monster.
"We sure have been through a lot together haven't we?" Cynder asked him while she moved a bit closer to him.
"We sure have Cynder, we sure have" Spyro smiled as he looked at the lovely black dragoness next to him.
"I must say I haven't felt this relaxed in my life" Spyro said to Cynder after a period of silence.
"Well I have, at that beauty farm" Cynder said while smiling.
"I still wanted to ask you about that" Spyro remembered.
"What did they do exactly?".
He spent another 10 minutes listening to Cynder story about the beauty farm.
"Wow that's sound like it felt very nice" He said when Cynder had finished.
"It was but I was very surprised at first, I just never thought about something like a beauty farm" Cynder admitted.
"Well I'm glad that Georga did because you looked and still look sparkling to look at" he said to her as her scales were still shining from the treatment.
"Ow Spyro you're so kind" Cynder said flirtingly before giving him a small kiss on his cheek.
"um no problem Cynder" Spyro stammered as he felt his cheeks flushing red.
Cynder giggled and rubbed her head against his neck and hummed softly.
Spyro felt both at ease and very uneasy with the feeling of Cynder rubbing her head against his neck.
He decided to just relax and enjoy this although something in him still resented it.
"Well I'm getting pretty hungry what do you say that we go back towards the citadel to have breakfast?" Cynder suggested after a moment.
After they had flown back to the citadel they met Terrador at the entrance.
"Hey Terrador were are you going?" Cynder asked
"I'm just going to check up on something" He answered "Why don't you go and have your breakfast?"
After Terrador had taken off Spyro and Cynder got to the kitchen were they found Cyril and Volteer.
"Yes and the legend goes on about-" Volteer was rattling Cyril ear holes off again.
"Ah you young ones are a sight for sore eyes" Cyril said cheerful, glad to have something to escape from Volteer's endless stories.
"Well Cyril your not in a very nice mood today" Volteer said superficial.
"Well your story will make every day sour" Sparx brought in as he appeared in the kitchen.
Volteer drew a annoyed face and took off getting back to his books.
"He can be so tiresome" Cyril complained when Volteer was out of hearing distance.
"Well listening to your boasting about your 'royal' blood can be annoying too" Spyro said before giving a wink to Cynder.
"Yes what was it again? The noble Glacd blood?" Cynder asked getting the hint.
"It's the royal Glaciad blood!" Cyril almost yelled.
"Sure about that? I'm curtain you once told me it was ijsciad" Spyro said mockingly.
"If you are only here to mock me then I will take my leave" Cyril said as he walked grunting out of the room.
"Well that worked like a charm" Spyro said smirking to Cynder.
"Yes he is always so sensitive about his 'royal' blood" Cynder replied putting a mocking emphasis on the word royal.
"What worked?" Sparx asked not getting what they had done.
"We wanted to have breakfast together and therefore the guardians couldn't be present" Spyro explained while he shifted an eye towards Cynder.
"And you also can't be present" Cynder said kindly and Sparx took his leave knowing what the consequences of refusal were.
After Spyro and Cynder had ordered their breakfast and the moles were out of hearing distance Cynder and Spyro started talking.
"What business do you think Georga was going to do?" Spyro asked Cynder.
"Well she said it was private so we shouldn't go make guesses about it" Cynder said with a sharp tone.
"We will just ask it to her then" Spyro said
After they had talked some more they got their food and they began their breakfast.
"It's nice to have breakfast together for once" Spyro said just before he picked up a deer leg.
"Yes especially without Sparx" Cynder said
"Sparx can be annoying sometimes but he means well and I still do love him dearly" Spyro reminded her.
"I know you do Spyro" Cynder said before returning to her piece of deer.
When the two dragons had finished eating they got off towards Georga's house to ask her about yesterday. Underway they also picked up Sparx who had been waiting for them to finish their breakfast.
"Are you always going to exclude me from now on?" Sparx asked annoyed as they flew towards Georga's house.
"That's not such a bad idea Sparx" Cynder teased.
"You can stay, but you just need to be able to shut your mouth sometimes" Spyro told Sparx.
"And if you can't do it then someone else will help you with that" Cynder added in a generous tone.
"Your always so helpful" Sparx said sarcastically.
When they had arrived at the plain house of Georga Cynder walked up towards the door and knocked with her talons.
"Ah Spyro and Cynder" Volt said as he appeared in front of them.
"Is Georga home?" Cynder asked him.
"Well yes she is home but she can't come" Volt said looking a bit sad.
"Does she have homework?" Spyro asked thinking that with Georga's job that was very strange.
"No but she-" Volt didn't finish his sentence.
"She's what?" Cynder was getting worried.
"Come inside and I will tell you" Volt said while walking back into the house.
After the three dragons had laid down Volt explained "Georga came home yesterday crying heavily. I asked her what was wrong but she didn't answer and just ran straight to her room. While she passed me I noticed that she had burn wounds on her wings. She then locked herself up in her room using an earth wall and she won't answer me no matter what I say."
"Wow what could have happened to her?" Spyro asked Cynder and Volt
"I don't know. I never expected her to act like that" Cynder answered
"She also rarely does" Volt said "She hasn't been this sad since three years"
"What happened three years ago then?" Cynder asked getting intrigued.
"It doesn't matter Cynder" Spyro said a bit stern "Volt, do you think there is something we can do?"
"No I don't think so, if she even doesn't answer me then I don't think there is much anyone can do until she calms down"
"Well let's go back to the citadel then" Sparx suggested
"Okay we will go back" Spyro said
"Okay then say hi to Georga if you have the chance" Cynder said while she felt very reluctant on leaving her friend.
After they had gotten back to the citadel they got to their room and started reading some books.
Cynder kept reading the same page over and over again while not taking in a word of it.
The hours passed and they closed their books to get some fresh air.
They flew around the city but the day passed without anything interesting.
Cynder always seemed very absent minded
After the uneventful they the dragons got to bed as usual
"Thank for that"
"No thanks you are my friend"
"Do you mean that"
"Of course I do silly I thought you knew me better"
"I do now"
"That's good. remember that I am here for you"
"I know you are"
Cynder woke up from her dream "Another one again" She thought.
"This one is happy too. What could it have meant".
"This one was about someone's aid to a friend but just who are they?".
Cynder kept thinking about it for some time.
Another thought was keeping Cynder busy as well and she kept awake for a good hour.
Spyro started to open his eyes and saw that Cynder was already awake.
"Did you have a dream again?" He asked her.
"Yes I did" She answered short.
"What was it about this time?".
"Someone thanked another for some kind a aid".
"Now that's strange" he said "Any idea what it could be about?".
"No I know just as much as you do" Cynder answered plainly.
After they had dismissed the subject they got down for some breakfast.
"I want to check up on Georga again as soon as possible today" Cynder said very sure.
"Alright then we will go after breakfast" Spyro said a bit surprised by Cynder's spirit.
When breakfast was finished they flew towards Georga's house again.
Just like last time Cynder knocked on the door and Volt opened it.
"Ow it's you gays again. Come here to check up on Georga?" He guessed.
"That's right does she answer you now?" Cynder asked Volt hoping the best.
"No the situation is the same as last time. Although she now does reply now but she just tells me to get lost"
"That's too bad well I guess we try again tomorrow" Sparx said lightly while holding his hands behind his head.
"Yeah I guess so" Cynder said a bit unsure.
After they left they got back to the citadel again.
They got back to reading books but Cynder still felt uneasy.
All of a sudden Cynder stood up "I am going" she declared
"Going where?" Spyro asked
"Georga"
"Georga? But she won't answer anyone!" Spyro reminded puzzled by her sudden decision.
"I will make sure she will!" She replied with a strong voice. With that Cynder took of from their aerial entrance and flew towards Georga's house.
"What has gotten into her?" Sparx asked Spyro
"I don't know but I think I should bother with it" Spyro answered
"What?! You're just going to let her go and do nothing!" Sparx shouted.
"Georga is Cynder's friend, not mine and she has to do this on her own" Spyro lectured "Sometimes you must leave people to their own devices because it's none of your business"
"Now you're starting to sound like Volteer" Sparx said annoyed.
It had been two days and Georga still was crushed by what had happened.
"Cynder what are you doing here again" she heard Volt's voice indicating her that Cynder had arrived again.
Cynder said something but she couldn't make out what it was.
Suddenly she heard a knock on the rock wall she build just behind her curtain "Georga it's me, Cynder I want to speak with you" Cynder's voice sounded calm but very determined.
"Get lost!" Georga shouted.
"Remove this wall now!" Cynder ordered in a sharp voice.
Georga was very surprised by Cynder's sharp command but she shouted her to get lost nonetheless.
"Remove it or I will blow it up" Cynder now really sounded angry.
"Cynder you don't mean that do you?" Volt's voice sounded a bit shocked.
"I do" Cynder replied short.
"Cynder" Volt was out of words from Cynder's response.
"This is a girl's thing and you keep out of this you!" She ordered the dragon that Georga knew was easily seven times her size.
"But-" Volt's voice sounded very weak.
"No buts you are going to seek a secluded place inside the house and stay there until I come to get you!" Cynder ordered and much to Georga's surprise Volt didn't reply and the sound of his loud footsteps indicating that he had done what the little dragoness ordered him.
"Now I'm going to ask it one last time!" Cynder said very sternly and crystal clear.
"Lower this wall and let me in, or I will blow this thing to pieces" Cynder said very sharp.
"Try me" Georga said cocky.
Suddenly Georga heard a tremendous blow and was dazed as a bright purple light blinded her. The only thing she spotted were rocks and debris flying through the air and it was just luck that she got no more then just a few bruises. When Georga had regained her vision her room was completely destroyed by Cynder's attack. Georga was however paying no attention to that and only looked at the black dragon that stood in the newly created hole of her room.
Cynder walked up to Georga and looked at her with a stern but also caring look in her eyes.
"Georga what has happened?" She asked in a almost maternal voice.
"It's none of your business!" Georga snapped.
Cynder walked closer to Georga "It is" she said in a dark and stern tone.
"No it's isn't!" Georga snapped again but the look in Cynder's eyes seemed to break her will and strike fear in her heart.
Tears started form in Georga's eyes "You couldn't understand" she snapped while sobbing
"Nobody can if you don't tell them Georga" Cynder said calmly to her like she was giving a lecture.
"No! You can't solve this only he can!" Georga shouted as she launched at Cynder.
Cynder however ducked and used her tail to give Georga a small push, that caused Georga to lose her coordination and fall behind her. Georga got up and launched at her again but Cynder sidestepped and Georga fell down once more.
"You could never beat me Georga" Cynder said calm "I am easily ten times more powerful then you are"
"Get out!" Georga shot an earth missile at Cynder, but Cynder used her tail blade to smash the shot.
"Are you finished so that we can talk or are you going to fire some more shots?" Cynder asked like nothing was going on she was totally unfazed by Georga's attack.
"You dirty bitch!" Georga launched at her and this time she managed to grab hold of Cynder knocking her down on her back with Georga on top.
However Cynder simply grabbed her paws with her own and Georga couldn't pull them lose. Cynder then bit Georga in the neck drawing blood.
Georga cringed and tried to slam Cynder with her tail globe. Cynder was faster however, flipped over and threw Georga away.
Georga smacked against a wall with full force and the house shook from the heavy blow.
Georga stumbled to her feet but fell down again as it felt like she had broken a few bones.
"Are you finished now or are we going to continue with this foolish fight?!" Cynder asked her sharply "I hate hurting you Georga but if you won't listen then you leave me with no choice" she said with a very grievous voice.
Seeing in Cynder's eyes that she meant what she just said and that there was no way she could make her go away Georga's mind finally broke and she started crying.
"It's Oxidus!" Georga shouted as she started to sob.
"He-he-he-he-he a-a-a-a-att-tt-tt-attack-attacked, m-m-m-me!" Georga stuttered while she was crying.
"Who is this Oxidus and why does it mean so much to you" Cynder asked intrigued but she had some difficulty retaining her calmness.
"He-he w-w-was, 'sob' my......best friend" Georga sobbed.
"I see" Cynder knew that was short but she couldn't think of anything more to say.
"I-I-I wa-wanted t- t-to a-ask him wha-what ,w-was-was wron-wrong" Georga said still stuttering.
"And then he attacked you is that it" Cynder finished for her.
"Yes but what's worse is what he-" Georga had stopped stuttering but couldn't make it to finish her sentence
"He did what?" Cynder was determined to get down to the bottom of the problem no matter what.
"You don't even know what I feels like to lose someone like that!" Georga shouted so hard that it seemed half the neighbourhood heard it having repeated it inside her mind millions of times "That's what he said to me".
Cynder didn't understand "Why is that so bad?".
"He knows it isn't true, if anyone knows that it would be him so how could he say that!" Georga shouted still crying.
"Georga I don't know why he said it to you or why he attacked but I will make sure I find out" Cynder assured her.
"And I will also make sure that he apologises to you" Cynder added with a small sneer.
"Do you promise that?" Georga asked with a tiny voice.
"I promise Georga. You are my friend and if friends have problems they can always ask for help" Cynder said warmly to her walking closer to her until she was looking Georga straight in the face.
"A real friend always helps out another friend even if she doesn't want it" Cynder said smiling while she gently stroke away tears from Georga's cheeks.
"Thank you Cynder" Georga said softly while she forced out the last of her tears.
"It's what friends do remember" Cynder said warmly petting her head.
Georga got up but a sharp pain in her hips brought her down again.
"Looks like you helped me a bit too much maybe" Georga said a bit cynical.
"I'm sorry Georga" Cynder apologized taking a step back from her and lowering her head "I never meant to really hurt you"
"I know that Cynder but could you take me to a healer" Georga said to her.
"Wait here Georga I will be right back" with that Cynder raced out of the room "Volt!, Volt! Where are you?" She shouted.
"Cynder what happened?" Volt came out of the kitchen where he had heard all the noises.
"What were you doing to her!?" he demanded to know
"I will explain later but could you help me carry Georga to the healer?" Cynder almost demanded.
"Healer! Is she wounded?" He asked shocked
Cynder already turned and ran back to Georga's room "Let's take her to a healer and then we will talk" she shouted back sharply.
"What in the name of the ancestors!" Volt gasped as he looked at the havoc in Georga's room
"Georga!" he explained as he saw his foster daughter laying crippled on the floor in the ruins of her room.
Before they got a chance to talk Cynder stepped in between "Let's take her to the healer first" she ordered and Volt didn't have much to comment on it.
Cynder walked up to Georga and lifted her onto Volt's back and Volt used his tail to pull her on and hold her.
Together they walked through the street drawing attention from the people who had heard the shouting and blows from inside the house.
However the crowd didn't slow them down and they all moved out of the way when they saw Georga laying on Volt's back.
The healer was close by and they reached it quickly.
"Hallo anyone home?" Cynder shouted as the entered the building.
It was a large hall with some plants and other decorations but there was nobody in sight to help them.
"A patient? Please come this way" A voice sounded
Cynder looked and saw a mole standing just in front of a curtain.
Cynder and Volt walked through and put Georga down on a table in the room.
The room was simple white with some bottles but not many other things to look at.
The mole pulled on a cord and Cynder heard a bell ringing.
After a few moments they saw a medium sized male ice dragon enter the room.
"Please move" He ordered to them.
Cynder and Volt back and let the healer do his job.
The dragon touched Georga with his paw and his body seemed to emit some kind of light.
"It doesn't look serious" He said looking back at Volt en Cynder "I will be able to fix this in just a few minutes"
With that he brought his paws down on Georga again and the strange light returned although more brightly this time.
The light then moved to Georga and the wounds in her neck visibly healed and Cynder concluded that her bones healed as well.
After a few minutes the ice dragon stepped back "How are you feeling?"
"Fine sir" Georga answered before jumping off the table
"Good now I will take my leave then" with that the ice dragon walked back into the curtain from where he came from.
After they had gotten back to Georga's house they sat down on the couches.
"That healer was fast I think it don't we had been in that healer's office for more then just 3 minutes" Cynder was impressed by how short their trip to the healer was.
"Yeah it was fast" Georga looked a lot more at ease now "Thanks for helping me Cynder" she said smiling to her new friend.
"It was nothing Georga" Cynder replied.
"Well I never succeeded" Volt said with his powerful voice.
"No I didn't really think you would" Georga said a bit sarcastically.
Volt brought his tail up threateningly and look sharp at Georga.
Georga shrunk back a little "Hey I didn't mean anything by it" She assured him.
Cynder looked kindly at Volt and he lowered his tail blade again.
"Well anyway I ought to get home now it's getting late" Cynder said as she got up.
"Thank you again Cynder" Georga said while Cynder left for the door.
"Don't mention it" Cynder was getting embarrassed by Georga's gratitude.
"Thank you" Georga said once more with a very soft voice. Cynder smiled and flew of back towards the citadel feeling fully content with herself.
When Cynder reached the citadel she spotted Spyro waiting for her at the front entrance with Sparx as usual fly just besides his face. She landed in front of him and they walked back towards their room.
"What is it what you have done Cynder?" Spyro asked.
"I have settled things with Georga and she is happy again" Cynder explained cheerfully.
"Wow how did you do that?" Spyro stopped and looked very impressed at Cynder that she had managed to do something in just two hours that Volt couldn't do in two days.
"It's a girl's secret and something that you could never understand" She said teasingly.
"Come on Cynder I can understand you" Spyro said a bit hurt.
"Let's just say I knocked some sense into her" she hinted.
"Knocked...some....sense." Spyro was connection the dots "Did you fight her!" he said quite loud.
"Good guess" Cynder said while grinning.
"And how is a cat fight going to settle a depressive girl" Sparx threw in.
"Well sometimes people need someone to help them to rip themselves of their high wings" Cynder said still smirking.
"That's true Cynder and I will be sure that I will help you if you needed me" Spyro teased.
"You will not" Cynder launched at him and the two had a wrestling competition in the large decorated hallway.
"What are you two doing?" Terrador asked as he saw Spyro and Cynder rolling around in the room and clawing away at each other.
"Playing" Sparx answered for them.
"Okay, but could you do that someplace else, you might break something in here" He said with a paternal voice.
"We will" Spyro said and he walked away with Cynder close behind.
Instead of continuing their wrestling they got to there rooms and started playing with the toys the guardians had given them.
"Well it turns out that these toys are pretty much fun" Cynder thought to herself remembering that she felt very offended when the guardians had given them.
After about an hour they got back down for diner together with the guardians.
"What did you do today Cynder? I saw you leave the citadel so where did you go?" Terrador asked during their meal.
"I went to Georga's place to try and cheer her up" Cynder answered.
"So did you succeed?" Cyril asked.
"I sure did although it wasn't easy"
"Yeah by fighting you made her feel better" Sparx said mockingly.
"That is splendid Cynder, it's really magnificent what you did" Volteer said ignoring Sparx.
"Yes that was very kind of you" Terrador complimented her.
"It was nothing" Cynder said smiling feeling fully satisfied.
After they had finished eating Spyro and Cynder got to their room and started reading some books. After a few hours they got tired and discussed the day before going to bed.
"Why were you suddenly so sure about what to do Cynder?" Spyro asked remembering her shooting out of the window.
"I have been thinking about it ever since I heard that she was down" Cynder explained "And at one point I just said to myself 'now is the time to do something about it'"
"Also the dream gave me a bit of a push in the back" She added as well.
"Those dreams of yours keep getting weirder Cynder" Spyro shook his head.
"Yes I don't know what they mean either but scratching our heads about it never got us anywhere so let's not do that" Cynder laid down on the sheet and gestured for Spyro to do the same.
Cynder laid on her side with her back to Spyro this time to keep her genitals away from his spikes. She suddenly felt his wing draping over her, she immediately felt more warm with her beloved purple dragon keeping her comfort and quickly fell asleep.
