The day after

Darkness, darkness was the only thing Spyro could see. He looked around, but there was nothing to be seen, not the slightest glimmer of light and the sound seemed just as absent as the light. He thought for a moment, and remembered his attempt to mend the world back together "Did I fail?". But at that moment there was a sound. It was a faint sound, but a sound none the less. He heard someone call out his name "Spyro?". He recognized the voice, but he couldn't put his paw on who it was, but then the voice called again "Spyro? Spyro, wake up" this time it was louder and he recognized who it belonged to and all his fears quickly faded away.

He opened his eyes and saw the dragoness standing above him with her muzzle only inches away from his own. He blushed a bit, but was taken by surprise when Cynder began to hug him. "Oh Spyro, I was worried you'd never wake up". Spyro felt something wet on his neck and noticed that the dragoness was crying. "It's okay, I'm awake now" he said, trying to cheer her up. Cynder still sobbed, but she felt better after hearing Spyro's kind and calm voice. 

Spyro hugged Cynder back trying to calm her even more and when she finally calmed down Spyro asked her what happened. She told him that after he used his power to save the world he fell unconscious and she had been forced to carry him out of there. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean for you to carry me.". "There's nothing to be sorry about" Cynder said. "You just saved the whole world, it's no wonder you fell unconscious". "Maybe but still".

Cynder got off of Spyro so that he could stand up and it was then that Spyro noticed the surroundings. The sun had risen and was shining brightly upon the land, the leaves in the oak-tree above them was calmly swaying in motion with the wind and the forest behind them was full of life as well as the sound of birds singing. Cynder noticed how he stared and said "It's beautiful isn't it?". Spyro turned around to answer her and when he saw the dragoness whose black and red scales shone in the light he felt a sudden urge to say "as you", but restrained himself. Instead he answered "Yeah,it is", while blushing a bit.

He thought back to when they where at the heart of the planet. He had thought that he heard the dragoness say "I love you", but he wasn't sure if it was just his imagination and he also didn't have the currage to tell her what he felt incase it really only was his imagination. So instead he came up with an idea. "Hey Cynder.". "Yeah?". "My memory is a bit blurry, but I think you said something to me when I was just about to use my power". Cynder blushed a bit and said "Yeah, I did". Spyro's heart began to pump wildly, "So she did really say that?". He had noticed her blushing and it gave him the courage he needed.

"Did you say, I love you?". Cynder began to blush evan more and nodded. Spyro began to blush as well and then he said "I...I love you too". A big smile began to form on Cynder's face and she asked "Really?". "Yes I do, more than anything" he answerd, smiling as well. Cynder jumped up on his back and began to hug him again, Spyro was yet again taken by surprise and fell onto his side.

He turned around to see Cynder smiling down at him. He noticed her sweet emerald eyes and he felt like he was drowning in their beauty. Cynder moved closer and their muzzles touched. She pressed her lips against his and Spyro melted into the kiss. Cynder had never seen or experienced love before, but even if she didn't really know what she did it felt right and oh so good.

Spyro on the otherhand who had grown up in the dragonfly-village had seen many couples and he knew that what they did was called kissing, but he had never thought that he would experience it himself. He had never really been attracted to the girls back then and he never understood why, but now he knew that it was obviously because of the fact that he wasn't even a dragonfly to begin with. And now he'd never have to think of that again, because now he had found a girl he likes and the right one at that. When they ended the kiss they where both blushing and it seemed like they had both enjoyed it. "Wow, that was amazing" Cynder said in awe. "Yeah it was." Spyro answered, still feeling the butterflies in his stomach.

They lay still while staring at each other for a while, just enjoying each other's company. But then Cynder noticed that Spyro was struggling to keep his eyes open, so she asked "Are you tired?". "Yeah, I think it's because I used up a lot of my energy before". "That wouldn't surprise me" She answered. "So...is it okay if I fall asleep here?" Spyro asked. "As long as I can sleep beside you, then yes" Cynder said with a smile on her face. "I wouldn't mind that at all" Spyro answered with a smile of his own. And so they both fell asleep while hugging each other, dreaming about their future life together.
