Spyro's pov

"So........ What am I supposed to do exactly?" Neve asked, straining her neck out over the ledge to see as much as she could of the arena.
"Well. What we do is we activate holograms of some of the worst villian in the skylands. Your job is to fight those holograms and show us what you can do" I explained.
"Alright. I can do that" Neve muttered before descending the steps and stretching her wings while she stood at the bottom of the steps. I activated the holograms and sat back, watching with excitement. Neve lowered her head and charged at the one of the villians. The one she had targeted was knocked down.
"Yes" she cheered only to be knocked into one of the arena's walls. I crinnched, lifting one claw up and closing one eye. I turned off the holograms and flew down to Neve who was coughing, a small black cloud trail floating from her mouth.
"Are you alright?" I asked, offering her my claw. She took it and pulled herself up before sitting down.
"That definitely hurt" she muttered, stretching up and trying to crack her back. A large crack resounded before she dropped back to a sitting position.
"You got one of those guys though. That's great" I insisted.
"But I got distracted" she objected. I grit my teeth. Not good. Not good. Not good.
"How about we go do the obstacle course. Maybe that's more your speed" I explained. Neve looked at me then down at the ground in thought. She then lifted her head to look at me again.
"Alright" she agreed. I smiled at her before taking the lead over to the obstacle course. Neve followed close to me, tail swishing behind her.
"So...... Do you want to learn how to fly?" I asked.
"Well.... I want to be able to fly, that's for sure. But I don't know if I can" she explained, opening then closing her wings.
"I'm sure you can fly. You just need to have someone who knows how to fly and luckily for you, I'm one of the best dragons out there" I explained, standing proudly and puffing out my chest.
"I mean. You're the only dragon I know so...... That kind of makes you the winner by default" she explained, drawing a line in the sand.
"Is something wrong?" I asked, lowering my stance slightly and tilting my head to the side slightly.
"No. No. Nothing's wrong. Everything is perfectly fine. I'm just..... Overwhelmed. So much is going on at once and then there's all these new surroundings. There's just so much to take in" she explained, shaking her head and lifting her claw to place against her head.
"We can take a break if you need one" I offered. She nodded.
"Yeah. That would be great" she admitted.
"Want something to drink?" I asked.
"A drink would be nice" she replied.
"I'll be back in a second" I told her before taking to the sky. I flew to a shop and bought a bottle of water before flying back to where Neve was. She had settled down on the ground, head placed on her claws.
"Here. I brought some water" I smiled.
"Thanks" she mumbled, pushing herself up into a sitting position. I gave her the water and she took a big drink from it then turned to me.
"Do you want some?" she asked.
"No. I'm good. It's all yours" I assured her. She shrugged and drank the rest of what was in the bottle, wiping her claw against her mouth.
"Want to head to the obstical course now?" I asked.
"Yeah. I'm ready now" she agreed, getting to her feet. I once again took the lead towards the  obstical course. I just hoped that Neve's confidence wouldn't fall there too.
