Spyro and Cynder: New Beginnings Ch. 2 A New World
#2 of Spyro and Cynder; A New Beginning
Around the bottom reaches of Hell....
Morgan la Faye studied the image, carefully analyzing what this new turn of events could mean. Dragons, and young by the look of it, just came out of a portal into the land of the living. And they seem to have befriended some boy whose face was covered. Try as she might, she couldn't focus the image to see who he was. Anyway, he was not important, but the dragons were her objective.
She froze the image so that she could study the dragons further. One was purple and golden yellow, with eyes full of life and strength. "Must be a male, so that must make the other one female." She began to study Cynder with earnest. Jet black scales and a blood red underbelly, with eyes that looked like poisen as she was facing the boy clothed in white.
"Yes, she will be my tool." She traced Cynder's body with a black nail. "How does one destroy God's abominations?" She stops and looks at a figure clothed in black.
"With one of its own, my mistress." The figure bowed.
"Yes, Ariel, with one of its own. Now, go to the living land. Find these dragons and befriend them. Turn them away from the boy, and then bring them to me. At least bring her," Morgan points at Cynder's image, "She will have a 'dark' future ahead." Morgan laughs to herself as Ariel bows and then leaves Morgan's chamber.
Back in the land of the living, somewhere in a forest....
The trio had found a nice spot to relax away from prying eyes. Spyro and Cynder worked on the boar they had gotten earlier. Blue Eyes chewed on a piece of bread he had pulled out of his pack, plus a few berries he had found on the bushes surrounding them. Blue studied them as they ate. Cynder would cut slices of meat from the boar, and Spyro would cook the meat with his flame breath. Pretty soon they had enough pieces for a small feast.
"I think thats enough Cynder, I'm starving." said Spyro as he finishes cooking the last piece. Cynder comes over to grab a slice of meat from the pile, rubbing against Spyro and gives him a kiss on the cheek. Spyro instantly blushes and glances at Blue then back at Cynder. Blue laughs to himself at seeing the embarressed look on the young dragon's face.
After everyone had finished eating, it had gotten dark and they gathered around a campfire. Blue toyed with some spells to try and further understand Spyro while Cynder coiled up near the fire, basking in its warmth. Spyro couldn't help but sneak glances at Cynder as the fire's light licked over her scales. Then the moon came out, shining its light on their small clearing. The mixture of light made Cynder look so innocent....and so beautiful.
Blue looked up to see young purple dragon looking at something. Blue turned to look and saw that the young dragon was mesmerized by the sight before him. The young female basked in the light of the fire and moon, so that even Blue saw her in a new light. Not like before where she had jumped him and bared her fangs, but one where her innoncence shown through.
Cynder began to awake, a bright light was bugging her from her slumber. As she opened her eyes, she saw she had an audience. Spyro, his goofball self, must have been looking at her in a half dreamy state. The stranger with blue eyes was also watching her, but she still couldn't see his face, which bugged her to no end. 'How am I to trust him, if he won't show us his face?' Cynder thought.
Spyro just watched as Cynder raised her head and looked at him. He knew no words to describe Cynder as she looked right now. This image would forever be imprinted in his memory, come hell or high water. She looked at Blue for a second, then she returned her gaze on Spyro. Then unexpected to Spyro, Cynder shook her head, stuck her tongue out at him, then returned to going back to sleep.
Blue laughed to himself again at the young female's actions. Just like any other human girl messing with the mind of a boy. That gave Blue an idea. What if he changed them to human? They were in danger from every man and boy looking to slay a dragon and be catapulted into history. Blue motioned for Spyro to watch him.
In the shadows of the night....
Ariel moved like a shadow across the land of the living. Anybody who saw her only thought they saw a passing shadow, and it quickly faded from their minds. She moved toward her destination with her mission in mind. Get the dragons away from the boy, and bring them to her mistress. If they failed to follow, kill the male and force the female to come along.
Ariel heard a tiny voice call out. "Sis, why do we do this? Why do we kill God's creatures?" The voice begins to cry. "Why do we kill dragons!?"
"Dragons killed our parents...Our village...Our way of life! They deserve...No...Mercy!" Ariel says with a snarl as she pulls out a dagger and decapitates a cow with a clean cut. She gave the killing blow so fast, the cow didn't die until it turned its head to try and make out the shadow.
Back at the camp....
Spyro diverted his attention back to Blue promising to tickle Cynder later. Spyro watched as Blue motioned to a rock in his hand, then to a flower in his other hand. Blue set them down in front of Spyro. He then said some words and Spyro watched in amazement as the rock turned into a copy of the flower right beside it. Blue then tore the flower, but it turned into 2 halves of the rock from earlier.
Blue motioned to Spyro, then to the broken rock and flower, then to himself. Spyro began to put the pieces together. Blue motioned to Cynder and Spyro, the flower and broken rock, then to himself.
He wants to change us...into humans?
