The Legend of Spyro: Return of the Dragon

Author's notes: I'm sorry this took so long. It was classic laziness when I had time, and then when baseball season started, I didn't have anytime at all. But enough of that, please enjoy chapter 2

Legal stuff: I do not own any characters in this story. With the exception of one of them, but for the sake of the story I'm not mentioning any names. Trust me you will know who it is. Also this is my intellectual property. So don't go stealing it. Stealing is wrong.

Chapter 2: Homecoming

The Next Day...

The two dragons awoke early the next day. They both wanted to get an early start if they wanted to get back to the dragon temple in one day. So they went and got something to eat, then they took off into the sky toward the dragon temple. It will take all day of non-stop travel to get there in time but they didn't mind. It was secretly just one more day of nothing but being together. And they would both enjoy it.

After about an hour of flight, Cynder spoke up and said, "Hey Spyro, do you think that the temple has changed much since we left?"

"I'm not sure" said Spyro. "I has been a whole year since we have been there. Maybe they had the moles rebuild some of it. It was devastated when the apes attacked those years ago. And in the midst of dark master and all the evil, it was never rebuilt."

"Yeah" said Cynder. "Maybe they even built a room for us!"

"What?" said Spyro a little shocked at the statement.

"Rooms, I meant rooms" Cynder said blushing a little at her slip up. Not that it actually was a slip up. She wanted t share a room with Spyro, but she knew that the Guardians would not allow it.

"Would you like to share a room Cynder?"

Upon hearing what Spyro said her heart secretly leapt for joy and she quickly said, "YES!" almost yelling. And then the question that she asked herself almost all the time came up again. Does he love me?

Spyro jumped a little at way she said yes. "GREAT!!!" In the back of his mind as well, Spyro thought the same exact thing as Cynder, does she love me? He too loved her with all of his heart but like her, was too shy to admit anything. He wasn't even sure why he offered to share a room, he just blurted it out and almost instantly became a nervous wreck until he heard Cynder response.

After hearing how both reacted, they both became a bit self-conscious and where quiet for the rest of the trip.

They flew all day, and just as the sun was going down on the horizon they saw the dragon temple. Spyro was the first to speak up and say, "Well there it is" he said in an almost disappointed tone.

*sigh* "yeah", said Cynder.

Both here happy that they where about to see their friends again but they really did not want to go back to the life of responsibility that they had. Also they just really wanted to be together.

So then Cynder said out of the blue, "Spyro maybe we should sleep here tonight, so we can be refreshed when we see our friends"

It was a feeble attempt to stay with Spyro for just one more day, nut Spyro felt to same way and quickly said, "That's a good idea! Lets land over there near that cave."

They flew down landed just outside the cave. Spyro went to go to find some food while Cynder decided to explore the surrounding area. While she was walking she started to think of Spyro; His muscular body and those golden horns and chest. It was there and them that she decided to tell Spyro the way she felt about him. She had to let him know how she felt.

Meanwhile...

Spyro had gone into the forest to look for some food. As he came upon a large berry bush and started to pick berries, Cynder would flash in and out of his mind. Why can't I stop thinks about her? He thought o himself. We have been through so much together but now I can't get her off my mind. I was right then that he knew he had to speak up and tell Cynder how he really felt.

He soon collected the berries and cupped his wings behind on his back to form a makeshift bowl. So from there he went back to the cave with their dinner, with food in his wings, and Cynder on his mind.

Back at the cave...

By the time Spyro had gotten back, Cynder was there waiting for him. They were both very nervous about what they both decided they were going to do. Not knowing the others reaction and what not.

Spyro carefully placed the berries in front of Cynder. Leaving some for himself and laying down across from her they both began to eat. Neither ate very much however, they were far too anxious for that. But when Spyro noticed that Cynder wasn't eating he got concerned and said, "What's wrong Cynder? Is the food ok?"

Cynder snapped her head up and said, "of course Spyro everything is great, I'm just not really hungry"

Spyro cocked his head a bit and said, "But we have been flying all day you must be hungry."

Cynder finally gathered the courage to say what she planned to say.

"Spyro"

"Yeah Cynder?"

"I...I have something to tell you"

"What is it Cynder"

"I...I love you"

She immediately blushed like mad; Expecting Spyro to laugh, or something that she couldn't even imagine. But instead, Spyro stood up and put his forehead up against hers.

"Cynder .... I love you too"

Unyielding joy overtook the both of them as they both embraced, wrapping their wings around each other, and nuzzling each other faces. Cynder started to cry out of sheer joy and started to kiss Spyro's neck. They stayed like that for about 10 minutes, and when they finally separated, they wish that they could have stayed there forever.

They promptly fell asleep after that, still being tired from their journey.

The next day, Spyro and Cynder both awoke, still finding each other in the others arms. Cynder wanted nothing more than to stay like that for ever. In the loving embrace of the male she loved so much.

"Hey Spyro" Cynder said sleepily

"Hey" replied Spyro "sleep well?"

"With you with me, always" said Cynder.

Spyro chuckled and slowly got up. He stretched his limbs much like a cat would and slowly padded outside, enjoying to warm sunlight on his scales. Cynder had followed Spyro until she stood right next to him. She looked over to her right at the dragon that had brought her so much joy and lost herself. It was only when Spyro spoke up that she snapped out of it.

"We should be going now. No use in waiting any longer"

Spyro was right. It was a little over a year since they have seen their friends, they should be getting back now.

So the two dragons took off into the sky toward the Dragon Temple.

Sparx, who at the time was out in the garden, was the first to spot the two dragons. He quickly recognized it as Spyro ad Cynder and flew as fast as he could to go out and greet them. But he was flying too fast for his own good and before either Sparx or Spyro knew what hit them, Sparx was squished onto the front of Spyro's snout. Spyro stopped to see what had hit him only to see his brother knocked out, stuck to his face. Spyro and Cynder could only laugh at Sparx.

"Same ol' Sparx" said Spyro as he peeled the dragonfly off of his face and began to carry him off to the Dragon Temple with them.

As they arrived at the temple, they flew into the main foyer and quickly walked into the one place they knew the guardians would be; the pool of visions. They walked in to find that Volteer and Terrador still asleep but Cyril up and about. As soon as Cyril saw the two dragons walk into the room he said "Volteer, Terrador, get up you too! Spyro and Cynder are back!!!" The other two guardians shot up quickly upon hearing this. They turned to the dragon couple and started shouting joyfully at their return. Amidst in the sudden chaos, Ignitus suddenly came into view over the pool of visions. As he spoke everyone was quiet.

"Spyro my boy you have done well"

Upon hearing this Spyro ran over to the pool and stared in utter amazement.

"But I thought...you ... and the fire...and"

"Hush now Spyro, yes I did perish in the ring of fire, but the chronicler chose me to be his successor. So yes, I am fine, and it is good to see you two again. I knew that you didn't die saving the realm, the books would have said so. But your whereabouts, I did not know."

Wait what happened to Sparx?" said Volteer, noticing his unconscious form on Spyros back.

"Oh he came to greet us but he did it a little too fast"

"Spyro" Ignitus spoke up again "while you were gone, there have been some changes. As you know I was the Fire Guardian, but with me gone another dragon must be chosen to take my place. With that I introduce to you my successor and my daughter, Nova, The new fire Guardian."

Out of one of the back rooms in to temple came a sleek, red dragoness. She looked a lot like Ignitus but with a slightly shorter and much thinner body. She then turned to Spyro and Cynder and said, "Hello Spyro, Hello Cynder, I am Nova, Ignitus' daughter. It is a pleasure to meet you both.

Constructive criticism is appreciated and encouraged. And once again, I'm sorry this took so long. Just never really got my mind around to want to do it. But anyway, if you think that I move along too fast, if there is too little dialogue (or too much), I'm not descriptive enough or what ever. Feel free to speak your mind. Advice and tips are much appreciated.
