Chapter 3 - 1st Day in mushroom swamp

"It hurts! My leg, it hurts!" Cynder shouted with tear in her eye. Sparx moved backwards a bit covering his head with arms.

"Calm down! Take a deep breath an--"

"Do something!" Cynder interrupted Sparx. He started to buzz around Cynder looking surrounding area thinking hard what to do. He flew back to Spyro, slapped him to face few times and twitch his horn.

"Wake up Spyro! C'mon! Doomgirl is hurt!" but Spyro remained unconscious.

"Dammit Spyro wake up already! Looks like it's up to me now eh..." Sparx said to himself. He flew back to Cynder who has moved into partially fetal position.

"Take it easy, lie down and rest a bit ok? I'll try to think something out." Sparx said to comfort Cynder a bit

"Hurry" Cynder whispered with tear in her eye. Sparx flew off and started to explore area a bit.

"Cold cold cold, something cold... If only Hunter was here, he would know what to do." Sparx repeated to himself still thinking hard. He came to small pond not far away from Crash site. He tore one leaf out from leafy bushes and dropped it into pond and took it back up with small amount water on it. Suddenly Sparx saw something flash in corner of his eye. He dropped leave and look over where he trought he saw something move but didn't see anything. 'Just breeze moving small plants a bit', he thought. Sparx took leave into pond again and started to carry it back to Cynder.

"This will help" Sparx said and flew above Cynder's left leg and poured water on huge bruise which made Cynder shiver a bit, Sparx placed cool leave carefully on bruise afterwards.

"Any better?"

"A bit" Cynder said and opened her eyes

"I'll get some more. Stay still." Sparx buzzed away again. Cynder raised her head a bit and looked around. At the moment she saw Spyro she got worried and forgot her broken leg and tried to get up. At the moment Cynder moved her left leg the pain reminded her why she was lying down.

"Ahh!" She screamed briefly, dropping herself back on soil, but started crawl to Spyro trying to ignore pain in her leg as best she could. Sparx flew back carrying another watered leaf but stopped few meters away wondering what Cynder where up to this time. Not knowing Sparx presence Cynder crawled front of Spyro

"Spyro? Please wake up Spyro." Cynder whispered to Spyro, staring at his closed eyes hoping he would open them for her but Spyro remained blind to the world.

"I want you to be awake when I say this. I... I like you... No.... More than that. I--"

"Ahem!" Sparx interrupted rudely, knowing where things where going. "Have you seen a black and evil she-dragon lately, the one who I told to stay still over THERE?" Sparx said loudly and pointing with his eyes where Cynder where before he left. Cynder showed murderous look on Sparx.

"Just leave me alone!" Cynder shouted and turned her attention back on Spyro.

"Well excuse me doomgirl, but I am trying to help you!" Sparx said becoming more frustrated. Cynder calmed down as she realised that even if Sparx didn't like her being around and even less being around Spyro, he still tried to help her.

"I'm sorry Sparx" Cynder said quietly.

"Ermh... Just let me take care of your leg would ya?" Sparx said and flew over her leg and poured more cold water on bruise and laid leaf carefully on it like last time.

"We should get some rest, and i don't suppose that you're moving far with that leg, not to mention Spyro, so we have to rest right here." Sparx said after he gave his treatment for Cynder

"You can go rest if you like but I have to look after Spyro for a moment" Cynder said

"Suit yourself" Sparx landed behind Spyro's neck and started sleeping. Cynder crawled next to Spyro and started to lick his wounds. After hour or two Cynder started feeling really tired and stopped licking Spyro's wounds. It has got dark already and she gazed stars trying to find any familiar constellation but huge mushrooms blocked sky from her. A bit sad Cynder crawled just next to Spyro so she could feel his warmth. When she laid her head on ground and tried to get some sleep she felt Spyro moving. Barely but moving nevertheless. She raised her head back up and whispered.

"Spyro?"

"Mhnnmnh..." Spyro murmured

"Spyro?" Cynder repeated a bit louder. Spyro opened his eyes slowly and saw Cynder's worried face few inch away from his own.

"Cynder?" Spyro said quietly.

"Are you feeling allright? Does it hurt anywhere?" Cynder asked still worried.

"A bit but I'm feeling alot better than in... What happened? Where are we?" Spyro asked. Recalling what happened in convexity and realising they weren't there anymore. Cynder looked relieved.

"You fell unconscious during our escape and I managed to get us out from there and we emerged high above clouds. You should have seen the sky... It was beautiful... I've never seen anything like it. I flew trough clouds and saw huge land below us, but I was too tired to get us anywhere else than into this swamp what where just below us so I had to land here. Well crash sounds more fitting but we made it." Cynder explained slowly.

"And you? Are you ok?" Spyro asked

"Well the crash-landing where rougtht and I think I broke my left leg because of that." Cynder answered quietly.

"What? Are you sure you're ok?" Spyro Asked again worried.

"I am now that you're here with me." Cynder said and got blushed afterwards she realised what she just said. Ignoring confusion from her answer Spyro asked:

"And Sparx? What happened to him?"

"He made as well and he is sleeping behind your neck now." Cynder said quietly.

"I believe you're hungry because I'm starving right now, but you need to rest till morning and I am afraid that you need to get something to us to eat. I cant hunt with this leg" Cynder continued.

"Could you fluff my pillow mum? I think Spyro stepped on it again." Spark said while sleeping. Cynder giggled quietly and Spyro Smiled.

"Well I get some sleep now. Good night Cynder" Spyro said and closed his eyes.

"Good night Spyro. Have sweet dreams." Cynder said and laid her head next to Spyro's.
