Love in a Sky-Filled Land

EP1, Pt2: Dreaming of Love

"Spyro?"

"Huh?" Look around and spot her. Standing there in my dream.

"This is a dream right?"

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure it is," She says.

"I'm pretty sure this is my dream, right?" I say.

"No, I thought it was mine... wait, do you think?"

"Yeah, I think so!"

"We're sharing a lucid dream!" We say in unison.

We jump to each other and embrace. Happy that we are able to see each other, even if it was in a dream.

"So this is what we look like now," Cynder observed, slightly pulling away from the embrace.

"Yeah, very different. I wonder, what would happen if one of us would wake up? Would the other also wake up? Or would they see through the other's eyes? Or do they enter into a deeper sleep?" I theorize.

"I don't know, let's try it at the end of tonight."

"Wait, we're babies, right? So that means we would wake up periodically to eat, so we might have to try it earlier," I think.

"Yeah, you're right. And we don't know how time passes in the dream world, so we could be in here for days."

"DAYS?! Amazing!" I say.

"I know right? let's hope for that!"

"Let's see the extent of our power in this world, I'm gonna try to manifest a comfy bed for us to cuddle in!" Cynder said.

Cuddle? Wow, that's bold of her... I'm not complaining though! I would also like to cuddle me!

Soon, a large bed appears under us, it's covered in blankets and pillows.

"Wait, how about changing our look?" I ask.

"Good idea, maybe we can go back to what we looked like before!"

We both change our bodies to our previous ones.

"Now then... let the cuddling... BEGIN!" I say, wrapping my wings around Cynder. She does the same. We lay down on the bed, and begin cuddling in silence. Soon, though, we started making small talk, getting to know each other even better than before, though, admittedly, not much better as we already knew a lot about each other from before. 

We lay there, blissfully reminiscing about our previous lives, and talking about the things we'll do once we reunite in the real world.

"Cynder, I feel myself starting to wake up."

"Alright then, let's hope this goes well." She said.

I feel myself leaving the world of dreams and entering the real world.

"I love you," I say, and enter into the real world.

'Did it work?' I ask her telepathically.

'Yeah! I can see through your eyes! Oh, and I love you too!'

'Cool! What else can you do?'

"How about this?" I suddenly say.

'Was that you?' I ask.

"Yep!" Cynder says through my voice.

'Maybe we should do this now, Eon is still sleeping.'

'Oh, sorry, I was just so excited.'

'Let's try other things! Can you use my body?'

I suddenly lift my front claw in a thumbs-up position.

'That was you, right?'

I nod my head.

'I'll take that as a yes. I'm hungry so I'll go get some milk.'

'Oh let me help with that!'

'Are you sure? It's my body, I should be the one to take care of it.'

'Let me do this for you, ok?'

'Alright,'

We fly out of our crib and begin to search around the building.

After some searching, we found the milk and returned to our room.

'Wow, moving in your body is weird.'

'That's only natural, I mean I am the opposite gender.'

'Not that! Your legs are longer.'

'Oh, yeah, that makes sense... say, do you think use can use your berath attacks in my body?' I ask.

'I don't know... wanna try it out?'

'Heck yeah, I do!'

'I think I saw a training arena when I was flying in with Eon, I'll lead us there.'

We fly out the window, making sure not to wake Eon. We then fly to the training arena. Where we test out our breaths.

'Alright, I'm going to start with Shadow breath.'

'Alright Cynder, go for it!'

I open my mouth and black mist shoots out from my mouth and hits the ground.

'Alright let's try the rest!'

after trying the rest of them out we came to the last, including my personal breaths from before, we came to the last, most important breath attack, Aether, the true element of the Purple Dragons.

'Alright, you ready?' I ask.

'As ready as I'll ever be.'

We open my mouth together and aim at the sky, and then, we release our first ever bit of Aether out of my mouth. The sky is filled with the vibrant bright purple of Aether, parting the nearby clouds illuminating the entire training arena.

We sit there, stunned by its majestic power.

'Is it just me, or is that stronger than normal?' I ask Cynder.

'No that was definitely stronger than normal.'

'Sooo... Do we just...'

'Yeah...'

'Use my/your body to defeat Malefor,' We say in unison.

'Alright, let me go to sleep, then you'll get the drop on Malefor and send him back to the shadow realm.'

'Let's go!' Cynder says enthusiastically.

'But first, we should probably train a bit. I mean, we are going to be sharing your body. So first, I'll let you take over my body so that we can synchronize together.'

'Good idea Spyro! Then we'll try sharing the body so that we can focus on both offense and defense, or we can both focus on either at the same time.'

'Yeah! Malefor doesn't stand a chance!'

'Well, actually, we're still babies... so...'

'Oh Shoot! Your right!'

'And we don't know when you'll randomly wake up in the middle of the fight,' Cynder continued.

'And he has much more experience in battle,' I added.

'That's what the training is for.'

'You're right! Let's get started right away!'

I let Cynder take control of my body. And we began our training.

We quickly realized that either of us could activate any breath attack. We also realized that this was a lot harder than it sounded. I mean, we're sharing a body, and due to our differences in fighting styles, we ended up arguing more than not, leaving ample opportunity for an enemy to land an attack. Cynder soon felt herself start to wake up and I began my trek back home.

But on the way I ran into an odd little bald dude and a tall green Troll. The bald guy is talking on and on about his evil scheme to defeat the Skylanders, and how it was a very, very evil plan. Realizing that this man was clearly up to no good, I decided to confront him.
