A happy heart is what always brings good things to the table. A loving heart shares affections, caring, kindness, and felicity. But not everyone could keep that kind of heart. There was a pink dragoness that carried the opposite: a sad and lonely heart.
From the dragoness's appearance she looked rather matured, and she had yellow horns, which slanted backwards. Although she had pink scales for her figure, her neck, chest, and below the tail were shining yellow.
She looks up at the sky, and the sun shining into her blue eyes, causing them to squint. Her chest rises, inhaling some air and exhaling a soft sigh. Also, her chest exposes a necklace that she wears with a heart-shape rock glowing dark purple.
Approximately 200 years ago, she managed to find this shape from a broken dark gem. At first, she thought it would be good for an engagement ring. Instead she preferred it as a necklace, thus replacing the previous necklace, which was a blue heart-shaped gem necklace she had worn when she were a lot younger.
The dark gem was once the power of dark evil that was possessed by an antagonistic sorcerer named Red, a dragon elder banished from the dragon world so many years ago. It was not long after his defeat that he passed away. Just after his passing, the dragoness was distraught to learn that this once evil red dragon was in fact her biological grandfather. Years have passed of course; although, she does not believe the fact that he was her grandfather, she still carries it in her heart. Although she was related to him, she never thinks or feels as evil as the dragon himself.
The dark gem itself was once smashed into bits right in front of her by someone whom was a brave, mischievous dragon who was the one to defeat Red years ago. She had always thought that he was a very handsome and strong purple dragon. She knows that back then she was only young and perhaps did not understand. Since she easily had fallen for him, some people would consider it a "schoolgirl crush." Although he had succeeded in smashing the gem, she did not want him to wander off to a swamp, fearing first for his safety, and not wanting to lose a chance of seeing him again.
The purple dragon, however, did not share the same feelings as she did, he had always looked at her as a friend. Eventually, she had her eyes laid on someone else, whom the purple dragon helped hook them both together. He was an armadillo, named Bandit. She was very happy to be with him for the longest of time. Sadly, he was not a dragon race, therefore his lifespan could not range as much as dragon years. The dragoness did not care how old or elderly he got, she wanted to love, care, and be with him until he no longer could breathe. When the time came for him to pass, her heart has became what it is today: sad and lonely.
On the other hand, she still had a red dragon named Flame that she enjoyed passing time with, especially for training. She loved him as well. Loving each other as mates, however, forbidden between the two, because they are not friends or strangers, they are brother and sister. She still wanted someone to be beside her, someone who actually loves her and she loves him back, and having a family of their own. Sadly, there were not a lot of dragons out there. Until then, no matter what, the pain remained in her heart.
Her mind begins drifting off, thinking that there is still a chance to cure the pain she has been enduring for many years now. There was one dragon that may be able to love her. She quickly shook her head, because she remembering that years ago that he had shared the same feelings that she did. Many years have passed now, and she is not the same dragoness she was when she was a lot younger: sweet, outgoing, and sometimes unsettling. It is the present, and she has matured.
In the years since when she was with Bandit before his passing, she had become more of an explorer. Flame always trained her whenever he has the chance so that she can defend herself, and maybe, just maybe, there is a possible hidden power within her.
Now that she has grown up, being a stronger, exploring dragoness, her mind tells her that there might be a chance at love. She is thinking about finding the love from the strong, handsome purple dragon that was once a hero to her. She looked down and almost blushed from imagining him in her head. She felt her heart slightly racing in both anxious and excitement emotions. She felt it in her heart that she still has feelings for this purple dragon. She feels that there is just one more chance in love for purple dragon, whose name was slowly mumbled out of the pink dragoness, "...Spyro..."
