Chapter 8 a weird plan
"I can't believe this is happening" "But there is no time to wonder about that" "This here is more important than anything" "Quickly somebody is coming" "Pant, pant," "Phew that one was close" "Now to- Oh No" -Silence- "Did that dragon see me?" "I can only hope that I can pull this off" "Everything depends on it"
Cynder opened her eyes as the morning light that indicated the next day was already here seeped out of the window. "And yet another one" she thought "Another voice dream" "This one was about someone who had to do something but without any images I just can't tell what that is" She thought a bit aggravated "Can't I dream about something good or at least something else then that stupid voice" she thought annoyed. She stopped thinking about it when she turned her head and looked at the purple dragon that lay next to her. She watched his body raise and fall from his breathing and she listened to him as he snored very softly. The sunlight seemed to make his purple colour stand out even more and his warm body looked so inviting. She smiled at the look of her beloved sleeping so peacefully and snuggled up to him to be as close to him as she possibly could be. Feeling his warm body felt warmer then the sun rays and listening to his heartbeat felt like it was hypnotising her. She cuddled up to him even further and rested her body on his. She then quickly fell back into a peaceful and happy sleep again.
Spyro slowly opened his eyes as he woke and looked around a bit drowsy. Suddenly he spotted that Cynder had cuddled up to him. She had her chest against his belly and she had her head under his chin, she had her front paws wrapped around his body and her tail was intertwined with his. Not a single part of their bodies was more than just a few centimetres apart. Spyro shrieked and jumped back from the black dragoness. Spyro's shriek had woken up Cynder "What's going on?" She asked startled. "Urg now what" Sparx had also woken up. "Um, Sorry I just um" Spyro cheeks flushed bright red he had no idea what to say at this moment. "What Spyro?" Cynder got up and walked towards him. "Sorry I just had a bad dream" He lied. "Oh that's just it and you have to wake everyone for that" Sparx grumbled. "I....um" Spyro began but Cynder cut him off. "With all the fighting you have done in your life that's not surprising and it's time to wake up anyway". "All right then let's get some chaw" Sparx already rushed down towards the kitchen. "What was it that made you shriek Spyro?" Cynder asked him when Sparx was out of hearing distance "I know you well enough to detect when you're lying". "Sorry I just panicked when I saw you laying that close to me" Spyro answered honestly this time. Cynder drew an evil face "Am I that frightening then?" she said devilishly. "Just don't do it again Cynder!" Spyro shouted angrily. "Relax; now let's go down for some breakfast".
When they entered the kitchen they spotted Terrador eating together with Cyril. "Ah there you two finally are" Sparx said a bit annoyed "What took you?" Terrador asked "We just had some things we had to discuss together!" Cynder said putting a large emphasis on the last word. Terrador understood the hint and didn't question it further.
"I want a good piece of boar" Spyro ordered "And I want 9 fried Salhers with Araherb spices" Cynder ordered "That's something pretty luxurious for you" Spyro said as Cynder normally took very simple meals just like he did. "Yeah I just figured that something different could also be nice" she said jaunty. Spyro's meal arrived very quickly and Cynder told him that he shouldn't wait for her so he began on his boar. When Cynder's meal finally arrived Spyro had devoured more then half his boar already. Cynder's meal consisted of 9 fishes of about 40 centimetres long. They were yellow from being fried and they were covered with the green spices. Cynder instantly started on her dish and she really seemed to enjoy her fishes. She then broke one of the fishes and put one part of it on Spyro's dish "Try it Spyro it's awesome" Cynder said with her mouth still full. Spyro ate the fish that Cynder gave him but quickly drew a very dirty face. "Cynder thinks this is good!" Spyro thought as he couldn't understand why she thought that the oily fish and very strong spices tasted well.
After they had finished eating they started to talk about what to do. "I think going to Georga is the best option now" Cynder said. "Yeah but she does have her job so we can't stay long" Spyro reminded her. "Just one hour is good enough. I want to learn how I can help her with Oxidus" "Oxidus? What does he have to do with it?" Spyro asked very surprised. Suddenly It occurred to Cynder that she had forgotten to tell him "I made a promise to Georga that I would find out why Oxidus attacked her and I also promised to make sure that he apologizes to her for it as well" she explained "I see, well off to Georga then" Spyro walked out the kitchen with Cynder and Sparx close behind.
By now Spyro and Cynder could move freely around the city, as long as they didn't do anything eye catching, so they reached Georga's house in about five minutes. As usual it was Cynder who knocked on the door. "It's you guys again" Volt said pleased to see them. "Georga is washing herself but she will be finished soon, come inside" Spyro and Cynder followed Volt and settled down on the couches. "So what are you planning to do with that promise Cynder?" Volt asked her. "I came here hoping to find that out" Cynder said. After a short while Georga appeared out of the bathroom. "Cynder! Spyro!" She was a bit surprised to see them. "Good to see you again Georga" Spyro said cheerfully. "Yes how are you doing?" Cynder asked her. "I'm doing fine but you know that" Georga sarcastically reminded her. Cynder chuckled warmly at Georga's smart remark, glad to have her back again.
"So what do you think would be the best to do about Oxidus?" Cynder asked when Georga had settled down. "Didn't you promise to do it?" Sparx brought in "Well I don't know him and I need some info before I can do anything" Cynder explained to Sparx. "Since when is it that he is acting so uptight?" Spyro asked Georga. "It's been since 10 days ago" Georga answered. "10 days ago! Does it have something to do with the seize of Warfang?" Cynder asked. "He didn't tell me but I am sure of it" Georga said. "Well then what happened?" Cynder asked. "Well you see during that battle Oxidus lost his mother Fuoca" Georga closed her eyes and lowered her head. "I see, that makes sense" Spyro said as he understood what losing a loved one felt like. "But it doesn't explain why he is acting so fierce" Georga reminded him. "At first he was understandably very sad about it but that disappeared after about 3 days." Georga explained "But he kept moping and he pretends to be overworked and he also is very aggressive towards many other dragons". "That doesn't make sense, why would he do something like that?" Cynder asked puzzled. "Well I have no idea but all I can guess it that something must be on his mind other than just the loss of his mother" Georga said a bit sad. "How did he lose her?" Cynder asked then asked her. "I don't know" Georga replied "I heard it from Igüsa and she didn't know any details about it either" Georga still sounded a bit sad. "Well there is only one way to find out" Spyro stood up "Well will have to go and ask him ourselves" "I don't think it's a good idea to confront him with it" Georga warned. "Why not I doubt he can chase the likes of us out of the house" Cynder reminded her. "No he can't, but you can't fight him here" Georga said "Oxidus is a strong and fierce dragon in battle. When you fought me Cynder you destroyed my room, I you would fight Oxidus you would destroy the entire neighbourhood". Spyro gulped "Yes that's something that we can't allow to happen" "But then what are we then supposed to do?" Cynder asked agitated. "If we can't break that facade he build around himself then we will never get down to the truth!" She pointed out. "Hey Georga" Spyro asked "What does Oxidus really like to do or where does he have pride in?" He asked very intrigued like he was thinking about something. "He has a love for sparring matches. If there is one thing he is proud of then that is his battling skills". "Yes maybe we could ask him to spar with Spyro and then it by a miracle he tells us everything we need to know" Sparx said mockingly. "Yes I don't think that just a sparring match is enough to do something Spyro" Cynder allied with Sparx this time. "I also wasn't thinking of just one sparring match" Spyro said while grinning "I was thinking about an entire fire breather's tournament". "And how can you be sure he will enter or that it will even do us any good at all" Cynder asked sceptical "Hey Georga what is Oxidus' goal. What does he really want to become" Spyro asked Georga not paying attention to Cynder's protests. "He always wanted to become the new fire guardian. I remember him telling that it was his destiny to one day succeed Ignitus" Georga explained not understanding yet what Spyro was getting at. "Well we organize a great fire breather's tournament and the winner will become the new fire guardian" Spyro declared. "And you think the guardians will allow it!" Sparx asked rhetorically very loud. "And what makes you think that it will solve something anyway" Cynder asked again. "Well if you can come up with a better idea I am listening" Spyro said looking around. After about one minute of silence Spyro concluded "Well then I guess we have work to do, organizing a tournament is no small task". "But Spyro what about the guardians?" Cynder reminded him "If they don't want it then there is no way we can get it done" "Well then we just have to make sure that they do like it" Spyro said simply "You know what they say Nothing adventurous no one get's blamed". "I think you mean nothing ventured, nothing gained" Cynder corrected him while grinning. "Well anyway I ought to get going" Georga stood up "I haven't been at my job the last 2 days so I can't be late today" Georga walked towards her the door but stopped and turned towards Spyro and Cynder "I really hope you two can get this done and once again, thank you for all your help" she said kindly before flying out of the house and towards the day-care.
Spyro and Cynder said goodbye to Volt and took off back towards the citadel. "And how do you think we will ask it?" Cynder asked Spyro a bit cynical, she didn't mention the guardians but she knew that wasn't necessary. "Well I guess we just present it to them and await their response" Spyro replied. "I think that if you do that your behinds will have something in common with Georga's" Sparx joked. Spyro just ignored him and continued to fly towards the citadel with Cynder beside him. They spotted Cyril at the entrance just leaving. "Wait Cyril" Spyro shouted to the ice guardian before landing in front of him. "What is it Spyro?" Cyril asked. "There is something we wanted to propose to you all" Spyro said. "And what might that be?" Cyril asked. Sparx was about to open his mouth but Cynder pulled him towards her with her tail and held him firmly in her hind leg. "I will tell you but do you really have to go somewhere now?" Spyro asked. "No, I was just going to make a stroll around town, it's not important" Cyril said. "Alright then help us find Volteer and Terrador" Spyro said before walking into the citadel not awaiting Cyril's response. They found Terrador and Volteer in the library studying some books.
"Well you brought us out here now what do you want Spyro?" Terrador asked when they had gathered in the main hall. "I was planning to organize a great fire breather's tournament in order to select the next fire guardian" Spyro proclaimed doing his best to make his voice as strong as possible. "A tournament you say?" Volteer was very surprised. "A tournament for the selection of a guardian? Something like that has never been done before" "Well there is a first time for everything" Cynder said trying to support Spyro. "But there is a major problem, the selection for a fire guardian won't happen for another 5 years" Cyril pointed out "Well we can say that the winner of the tournament will become the primary candidate and that the other finalist becomes second choice" Spyro proposed. "Well I guess that's possible but how did you come to this?" Terrador asked. "Well I just thought it would be a great way to eliminate the hard and separation spirit of the war" Spyro said more serious now. "Some kind of large event in which dragons from all branches and stands can participate". "Since Ignitus his sacrifice-" Spyro shed a small tear before continuing "It seemed like the best thing to do". "Also we have a friend that really needs an event like this" Spyro finished. Spyro had done his best selling his idea to the guardians. Now all he could do was hope they liked it. "I'm not sure" Cyril said "The position of a guardian isn't a game after all" "That's true Cyril a guardians job is very complicated and should never been taken lightly" Volteer added. Spyro felt his spirit sink down a bit lower. "But Spyro what kind of tournament where you thinking about?" Terrador asked. "Well a sparring match tournament of course" Spyro said as confident as he could although he didn't know what a sparring match actually was. "As I have said before a guardians job isn't a game, and it's also not just about who has the most power. A guardian has to have many mental capabilities as well" Cyril said sceptically. "Yes I to think a guardian purely judged on power has a very slight chance to be successful" Volteer said. Spyro saw Cynder shaking her head towards him indicating that it she thought the case was lost. "I think it is a great idea" Terrador said catching everyone by surprise. "But Terrador do you really think some kind of rag muscle head can be a successful guardian!" Cyril exclaimed. "I would think a dragon like you would know that true power also flows from the mind Cyril" Terrador looked sternly at his colleague "But I do think that just the chance to become fire guardian cannot be the main price" Terrador said. "Hey what do you think that the winner get's a fight with mister legend here" Sparx poked Spyro. "I think that's a great idea little firefly" Terrador said. "I'm not a firefly but a dragonfly" Sparx shouted angry. "You can't just force Spyro to fight the post powerful fire dragon you can find!" Cyril accused Terrador. "I'm not forcing him to fight anyone, we will let Spyro decide" Terrador said before turning to the purple dragon "Is this okay with you young dragon" he asked. "It's fine actually I look forward to be able to fight a good opponent again" Spyro said excited. "And so do I" Cynder said a bit indignant. "Of course Cynder" Spyro assured her "It will be a match against either one of us at the champions choosing" "And for a tournament there must also be a title for the champion" Cynder said getting excited about it herself now that she was also involved herself "Anyone have any ideas?" "Mmmm" Terrador muttered "Maybe master of fire?" He suggested. "I think Master of Eternal fire sounds a bit more catching" Spyro offered. "Master of Eternal fire" Terrador repeated "I like the sound of that" "Well that decides it, we are going to have a fire dragon's tournament" Terrador proclaimed. After that they started to discuss the practical things about organizing it.
"I have more then enough money for this so funding the tournament isn't a concern" Cyril said. "We will have to put considerably amount of effort in spreading the news because if we want something on this scale to succeed we need an exceptional attendance" Volteer said. "Good point there Volteer. Just how are we going to spread the news to every dragon in the city?" Terrador asked nobody in particular. "I think we can take care of that" Cynder said "If we use our fame I'm sure we can make every dragon in Warfang aware of it. Then if you use you connections I'm sure we can make a humongous crowd to appear." "By the way what is this tournament going to be called anyway?" Cynder then asked looking at Spyro. "Let's call it the Igus Fire Cup" Spyro said having thought about it. "It is in Ignitus his honour". "That's sounds very nice Spyro" Cyril complimented him "No long words and easy to remember". When whey had discussed more they drew the conclusion that although it wouldn't be easy it was inside of their capabilities to organize. After having discussed the subject for about an hour they decided to call it quits. "We will take care of most of the material and organization" Terrador said to Spyro and Cynder. "Your primary goal is to draw publicity for it" He instructed. "Okay Terrador we will" Cynder answered before walking after Spyro who was already walking out of the room.
"So how do you think we are going to spread the news?" Cynder asked Spyro when they had settled down in their room. "I guess just by getting into town and proclaiming it is our best bet" Spyro said. "Hey I remember a painter who lives next Georga" Cynder brought in "What if we ask him if he could make some kind of posters for us?" "That's a good idea Cynder it will most certainly help to have something permanent" Spyro said to her. "I think it is best that I go to the main square to proclaim it to the public and you go to the painter to get those posters" he suggested. "Sounds like a good idea, let's say we meet back at the citadel before diner" Cynder said. "Okay, then let's be off" Spyro started walking towards the aerial entrance but Cynder grabbed his tail with her mouth and pulled him back. "Au, What is it?" He asked a bit annoyed after Cynder had released him. "I couldn't let you leave without this" Cynder said seductive before giving Spyro a tender kiss on his snout. "Did you really have to do that?" Sparx ask a bit disgusted. Spyro wasn't really comfortable with it either but he still felt his heart jump inside his chest.
