Perils Of War TLOS (Book 2)

Chapter Thirteen

Spyro took another week to recover enough to fly again. He had spent a lot of time with his grandmother, who told him everything about his parents. Michael had returned a few days earlier, informing them that he had managed to kill another dark master without using magic. There were only seven left, Spyro was happy to see an end to the war, even if it was far away. Spyro soared over Faun, enjoying the air currents. Cynder was in front of him, she was leading him to a cool forest she had found. The two dragons landed in the beautiful woods; the massive oaks loomed over them. They played, weaving through the trees, and chasing each other. Spyro enjoyed the exhilaration of chasing his mate, finally able to move without pain. They played for a few hours, then collapsed in a clearing, panting. Cynder rubbed against Spyro, filled with joy.

"I missed having fun with you" She gasped

"Me too" Spyro replied

They heard a twig snap, and looked up to see Michael and Trice walking through the woods. They watched as the two dragons walked up to the oldest tree they have ever seen. Michael tapped on the tree, and it reached down into the ground and pulled out a strange bag full of cores. Michael grabbed the bag and put it in his personal storage. The two dragons could barely hear Michael's voice as they spoke.

"These are the last of their kind in the whole dimension, it would be a shame to use them, but they are needed." He told Trice

"Maybe I could go to a close dimension, and find some of the other ingredients?" Trice asked Michael

"Yes, that would be good." Michael answered

"I'll use another form, but it's going to take me a while." She told him.

"It's going to take me even longer to find the rest of them" Michael replied "I still have to find the two other souls."

Trice sighed. "I want to see my sisters again"

"I know, I do too" Michael replied.

They took off, and Spyro looked over at Cynder.

"They were talking about our parents" Spyro stated

"They're trying to bring them back" Cynder replied "They probably don't want to get our hopes up, that's why they haven't been telling us"

They laid there for a while, napping, then got up and flew home. Spyro was lost in thought, they landed in the square and walked up to Jasper and Lumi.

"Hey" Spyro said

"Hi, just got back from your trip?" Lumi asked

"Yep" Spyro replied.

"Have you seen Camry?" Jasper asked

"We saw him and Layla flying around the market district when we left" Cynder told him

Jasper sighed and rolled his eyes. "They're planning a trip to Fen, Layla wants to introduce him to her father."

Spyro's eyes went wide at that, and he chuckled "Let's hope it turns out better then when we met."

Michael burst through his door, in full armor, and took flight. They watched him fly off with speed, and give each other a confused look. A fortress thumped into view, and they saw the black dot of Michael fly into, then it thumped away.

"He's been busy" Lumi explained "The Dark Authority is getting desperate, they are hiring mercenaries, using different spells, and attempting assassinations."

Spyro shuddered, remembering the attack. He wanted to fight, but Michael wasn't letting him. He looked over to Cynder and smiled.

"Busy dragon" he said
