The Adventures of Royce!

Chapter 4: Valley of Avalar

Royce: "Aaaahhhh!!! Coming in hot, get outta the way!" Royce starts hurling towards Spyro & Cynder *crash!* Royce  becomes dizzy, then goes unconscious. His final words before going unconscious were "Please... help... me mom... Cynder!"

Cynder: "Did that 'thing' call me its 'mom', Spyro are you hearing this?" Cynder inquired.

Spyro: "Yeah Cynder, I heard you, it did call you its mom, but first I think we should tie it up, just in case it's dangerous or not, then'll ask questions!" Spyro added on, earning Cynders approval.

Cynder: "I think that's a (good) plan!"

Spyro and Cynder approach Royce and begin to tie him up, then Cynder starts to pick up Royce with her mouth (she retracts her teeth, as to not hurt him), Cynder carries him to a nearby cave, while Spyro went looking for food. Once Cynder arrived at the cave, she puts Royce up against the cave's walls.

Royce: "Uh... My head... Wha-" Cynder approaches Royce, fangs barred, and tries to question him. "Oh god, please don't eat me!!"

Then Cynder starts thinking to herself "Hmm... maybe if-"  "Fine! I won't eat you  'only if'-"
Only if what?" Royce asked Cynder, making him worried, if not scared.

Cynder: "Only if you answer my questions, then I (probably) won't eat you, easy isn't it?" Cynder clarified, Royce nodded swiftly as a result. "Well, what're you going to ask? *notices Cynder's leg* Wait, what happened to your leg there?!" Asking with concern.

Cynder: "My leg, it's broke, because of you Ape!" Royce thought to himself, "Wait, did she just call me an 'Ape'?" before retaliating

Royce: "Hey! I'm not no Ape! I'm a human, a 17 year-old boy who's good at a lot of things, except (physical) combat or fighting, and I'm smarter than I look too, you know!?"

Cynder: "Wow, he answered 'all my questions without any effort, hospitality or hatred, I wonder if he is smarter than he looks?"

Royce: "I have feelings, you know!" Royce told Cynder, getting all offended.

Cynder: "Sure you do (sarcastically), all you apes are the same towards Dragon-kind!"

Royce: "I said I'm... NOT... AN... APE!!"

Cynder: "Fine! Human."

Royce: "Thank you!"

Cynder: "I still got one more question to determine if I want to eat you or not, human!"

Royce: "What is it?"

Cynder: "Earlier I heard you call me 'Mom', is there something I should know, human?"

Royce: "I have a name, by the way, it's Royce, what about yours?"

Cynder: "Mine's Cynder, start answering Royce before I start chewing!"

Royce: "OKay, OKay Cynder, yes, I'll admit, I 'did' call you 'mom'!" Cynder then looks into jis Purple Amethyst and Emerald Green eyes, then gasps at the biggest surprise in her life.

Cynder: "I don't know how you know that I'm your mom but this pretty convincing, I'll tell ya; now can I trust you with something?"

Royce: "Depends on what that something is!" Cynder then thought to herself and said "dang, he's smarter than he looks and is wiser!"

Cynder: "Well, I'm going to untie you, will you promise not to run away?!"

Royce: "Even if I wanted to, I couldn't get too far, now could I? If I did, then all you would have to do is pounce on me, then kill me alive, simple as that! So yes I promise not to run away mom!" Cynder was just speechless at hearing what Royce had just said. She then goes up to Royce unties (cuts them with her claws), Royce gets up and goes to his pouch, checks over all his items "Med-kit check, ect, now let me see if 'all' of my pieces of equipment are in there; Tourniquet check, disinfectant check, Syringe check, Painkillers check, and bandages! Just hold still, this might hurt (sting) a bit, it'll help you oh and hand me your broken paw!" Cynder hands her broken paw to Royce as he then applies a tourniquet, wrapping around the edge of the broken paw, he then tells Cynder, "If I didn't do this, you might of have lost your paw or something worse due to infection!" Royce finally wraps the wound with the bandages to prevent possible infection, "I'm done, just don't put 'any' pressure on the wound or else it'll hurt 'a lot' worst!"
