The Aftermath TLOS (Book 1)

Chapter Six

Spyro woke up to a lot of pain and Cynder cuddling up against him. He winced as he tried to move a little. Spyro's movement woke Cynder up, she got up and checked on his wounds, After applying some more herbs, she looked back at him.

"Feels better?" She asked

"Much better, thank you" He kissed her, making her blush.

Michael walked into the room, he had taken off his armor and washed off the blood.

"Its time to move you to your own bed" he said to Spyro

"Alright, give me a second" Spyro started to get up

"Nope, you sit back. I'm going to teleport us directly to your bedroom" He stopped Spyro from getting up.

With a purely theatrical snap, Michael teleported the three of them to Spyro and Cynder's bedroom.

"You need time for your muscles to repair, so just relax and enjoy some peace. I feel you haven't had much of that since before you defeated Malefor" Michael told Spyro "So stay in bed for the next three days. Cynder, make sure he doesn't move"

"Will do" Cynder replied, looking forward to taking care of him after he had spent so much time taking care of her

Michael snapped again, and vanished. A few hours later, Flame and Ember visited to check in on Spyro. He used that time to tell the others about his adventure to the magicarium. After catching them up, he laid back and settled into a better position.

"So, this 'Dark Authority' corrupted Malefor, just so he would kill your parents, and now they are about to wage a war on everybody. Also, their going to do this with cursed armies and an unknown number of corrupted creatures" Ember summed it up

"Basically yes" Spyro answered "But don't worry, the Dark Authority won't attack just yet. They are still biding their time, preparing"

After some more talking, Cynder shooed Ember and Flame out when she sensed that Spyro was getting tired. Then she fed him some food that she had scrounged from the cabinets.

"I'm going to go to the market district and buy some supplies, we only had the few days supply Michael gave us when we moved in but that ran out" Cynder told Spyro

"Okay, don't be gone long, I love you" Spyro responded, kissing Cynder

After she left, Spyro closed his eyes and fell asleep. Cynder flew to the market district and began looking through the wares. She stopped and looked up as the stall owner started making worried glances at the black dragoness. Then another customer walked in and looked over at Cynder, then started a hushed conversation with the owner, sneaking glances at her every once in a while. She paid for her items and rushed out of the stall. Then she walked into a spice shop, and picked out a few she thought were interesting. Then, weighted down by supplies, Cynder flew home. When she got home, she checked in with Spyro, to find him asleep. Smiling, she let him remain peacefully asleep.

A couple of days later, Spyro's wounds had healed, and he was back and active again. In the fortress, Michael was training Spyro to use his new sword. During their break, Michael had been updating Spyro about the current events going on for the group.

"I received a message from your aunt, Mary, this morning. She said that she was finally able to get her kids ready to travel here, and is on her way. She should be here in a day or so, with her mate and three kids. She must have been really wanting to see her if she was able to scrape together her family and rush here so soon" Michael told Spyro

"I can't wait to see her" Spyro replied, looking excited.

"She seemed excited when I told her about you" Michael added "Now let's return to your training."
