#3 of Spyro and Cynder: roughdraft (under renovation)


Again i got a lucky break...called sickness. Been writing all day (and unfortunately deleting half of it cuz it's all incoherent crap), but I'm gonna put up Chapter 3 for y'all to enjoy.

If thou art under 18, taketh thy leave. Or whatever. Lock the door if you're not one to take warnings.

Chapter 3

"So we didn't kill it?" Cynder asked.

"Far from it," Alex groaned, his head in his hands. "Every time it's defeated it grows more powerful. Good thing, though, it can't attack me for a while now after that blast. He needs to regain his power, and that takes him a while."

"I think I understand more about the problem yesterday," Solar said, deep in thought.

Alex rubbed his neck nervously. "Yeah...about that...Christine and I were supposed to defeat the demon that had a grip on me in order to pass through, but apparently the seal wasn't as strong as we'd thought and his remaining power in me was allowed through..."

"So the remainder in you sends you into those fits?"

"Seems so...yesterday was the first time it's happened..."

Spyro looked up at the setting sun and yawned, standing up and stretching. "Well, I hate to interrupt all this, but I think the girls should get some sleep..."

"Why?" Alex asked, and the dragons all looked at each other. With a self-conscious cough Cynder looked at the floor.

"Well...errrr...we've...recently decided to start our own families."

Alex raised an eyebrow. "Ahhhhh...now I see why you've been leaving and coming back so often."

"Yeah..." Spyro said.

"How long you guys need to wait?"

"About two or so months," Cynder replied. "Then another three or so before they hatch. Or so Ignitus says."

Alex looked at the floor, thinking back to Christine. "Christine once told me that if she ever had children, she'd want me to be their father..." He sighed, folding his arms over his knees and burying his face in his arms.

Spyro walked over to him. "Hey, Alex, don't worry. You'll find her again. Come on, let's go inside and get some rest." Alex slowly stood up and followed Spyro and Cynder into the temple, leaving Solar and Flare in their designated sleeping spot. The two dragons gazed at the sky silently, side by side, Flare resting her head against Solar's. She finally nodded off and Solar wrapped his wing over her and propped her head up with his neck. She smiled faintly in her sleep as his paw took hold of hers.

Alex stayed in the dojo, and Spyro and Cynder soon snuggled together in their large bed. Spyro lay on his back and Cynder again draped herself over him, and Spyro pulled the blanket over both of them.

"I can't wait..." Cynder sighed.

"Well, you've got a good two months now," Spyro said, rubbing his nose against hers.

"I know..."

Spyro ran his paw across her cheek and she closed her eyes and tilted her head against his paw. He slowly made his way down to her shoulder and hugged her close. "Cynder, you're just so beautiful...I still can't believe such a gorgeous creature is my mate..."

"Well, believe it then," she laughed, and he kissed her. They stayed that way until Cynder fell asleep. Spyro pulled her closer to him and put his head back on the pillow, falling asleep with a warm smile.

Spyro and Cynder shot out of bed the next morning when Flare suddenly screamed. They raced into the dojo and found Ignitus and Alex out cold on the floor, Alex badly beaten, black cloaks scattered across the floor. Alex had shreds of cloak stuck to his claws. Solar bent over Ignitus and put his paws on the fire guardian's head. His face was grave.

"Ignitus is just barely in there..." he grumbled, and went over to Alex. "Alex as well..."

"Can you revive them?" Flare asked, worried.

"I can try but I can't guarantee it..." Solar said, shaking his head. Spyro and Cynder felt each other thinking the same thing and they turned to Solar.

"Uh, Solar...We forgot to tell you a while back, but we both have healing light too."

Solar's face softened. "Good, that will definitely help. We need to tend to Alex first; he's more physically damaged than Ignitus."

Spyro and Solar placed their paws on Alex. After some trying Spyro finally got his curative light power functioning and the two females watched as Alex glowed faintly with restorative light energy. His bruising slowly faded, and after a while Solar stopped. Spyro stopped too, and gasped--he'd never gone that long with healing before and the energy depletion hit him hard. Cynder followed Solar over to Ignitus and helped him heal the guardian. Eventually Solar deemed both were good enough and that they simply needed rest. Cynder walked over to Spyro and leaned against him.

"Wanna go for a fly?" she whispered.

"Sure," he said. Cynder turned to Solar and Flare and asked them the same question, and they accepted and followed Spyro and Cynder out onto the balcony. They flew off to the woods and in a short time stopped and got something to eat. When they returned an hour later, the other guardians had found Ignitus and Alex, and the two injured dragons were resting on the floor around the Pool of Visions in the next room.

"Ah, good," Ignitus grunted as the four younger dragons entered the room. "Now that we're all here, explanations are surely needed." He looked over at Alex, and the green dragon sighed heavily.

"Alright...I should've told you earlier but I didn't want to..." He painfully stood up, holding up a black cloak. "These are the cloaks of my 'followers'--cultists that believe Christine and I hold some kind of ancient power. They've got it stuck in their heads that if they sacrifice both of us, we'll become immortal and unstoppable, and they themselves will, in short, become demigods alongside us."

"Is that even possible?" Cyril asked.

Alex shrugged. "Normally I'd say no, but seeing how we seem to have inherited some kind of unknown powers...I mean, no, if we're sacrificed, we're dead, and they're murderers, but they don't get it. I have no clue how the heck they hunted me here though, unless they were transported by the shadow."

"But what happened here?" Terrador asked.

"They somehow warped into the temple as Ignitus and I were talking, and took us by surprise. Ignitus was gagged with chloroform--that's a chemical that when inhaled basically knocks you out, but they added poison to keep him out--and they tried it with me but as usual they weren't prepared for me."

"But if you triumphed, why were you so badly beaten?"

"I was getting bashed left and right, but I finally killed the last one before my strength gave out. I'm still not used to this new form..." Alex stretched out his arm and gave a few claw-swipes. "My claws came in handy but everything else...I need to acclimatize to my new ranges and abilities."

"A little more time with training ought to assist your dilemna," Volteer said.

"Maybe later..."

The day slowly wore on, and as the sun set Spyro and Cynder were once again by the river. This time, though, Solar and Flare were with them.

"So you and Cynder became mates here?" Flare asked, her head against Solar in much the same way Cynder was leaning against Spyro.

"Yep." Spyro nudged Cynder with a grin. "I still remember how happy she was when I asked her..."

"And that happiness still hasn't gone," Cynder replied, nestling against him. He chuckled and draped his wing over her.

"This is definitely a special spot," Flare said, looking at the river as it flowed by. "There's a lot of good feeling here."

Spyro and Cynder eyed each other slyly, thinking of how the "good feeling" applied in more than one way...

Solar sighed. "Well, it's nicer than where Flare and I became one...outside of a small cave in the ground under the open night sky..."

Flare looked at him. "Don't say that! You know I love a starry sky. You second-guessing us on me?"

He laughed and wrapped his arm around her. "Why would I do something like that? You're what got me through my down-time two years ago. Without you I'd go insane sooner or later."

Spyro and Cynder laughed to themselves with a roll of their eyes, they remembered that all too well.

Flare yawned as she leaned agaisnt Solar, and he nudged her. "You okay?"

"Yeah...I could use some rest, though."

Something about her tone didn't convince him, but he slowly stood up, stretching his legs with a yawn. "I think Flare and I'll head back...you two staying here?"

"Maybe a little longer," Spyro said, and Cynder nodded.

Flare and Solar took off, leaving the purple and black dragons by the riverside. As they flew back to the Temple, the full moon shining brightly and giving them more than enough light to see clearly by, Solar looked at Flare. "Okay, what's on your mind? You're not tired, are you?"

She gave him a sly side-glance and licked him on the cheek. "Been itchin' for some action with my ice monster," she whispered in his ear, and he smirked.

She dove off to the side and swept through the forest, with him close behind. Solar landed next to her and she ran her tongue along his neck up to his cheek, and he closed his eyes with a grin, turning his head and catching her mouth with his. She giggled as she watched through the corner of her eye as his silvery member slowly stiffened out of its sheath. They sat back on their haunches, sucking on each others' tongues and rubbing their tails together. Solar's eyes shot open as he felt her warm yellow paw wrap around his cock, which was now fully erect and twitching with each pulse of his heart. She smirked against his mouth and slowly began running her paw up and down his length, eliciting a groan of pleasure from him. She broke away from his mouth and grinned lustfully as his pre-cum slowly came forth and washed down to her paws, lubricating him for her. She slowly, very slowly sped up, watching him moan and shudder with the ecstasy.

"Oh, Flare...Oh that feels so goooood...oooh..." he groaned, and she pumped him even faster, feeling her own arousal swiftly increasing. She felt his cock twitch a few times in her paw and a few streams of his pre shot forth, and she moaned excitedly--she absolutely loved watching him release.

She leaned up to his ear and whispered "I wanna see how far you can release" before licking his cheek again and rubbing him as fast as she could. He shuddered as his climax swiftly rose, and threw his head and chest back with a loud roar as his dragonhood finally exploded with the pent-up pleasure. Flare gasped with a small orgasm of her own as she watched him shoot his cum quite a distance, still pumping his silver organ with her paw. He eventually groaned as he slowed and stopped, his seed still slowly flowing from the tip of his member onto Flare's paw. She licked her paw clean as he caught his breath, and kissed him again. She gasped as he pushed her over onto her back and looked up at him in surprise.

"Now to make YOU release," he said, and she grinned as he pulled back and began caressing her entrance with his long tongue. She squealed and jerked slightly as he probed her, burying his muzzle against her and sucking slightly on her lips as his tongue worked its way into her. He grinned as he heard her breath speed up excitedly, and she bucked her hips slightly against his muzzle. She growled as he stopped, and looked down herself to see his silver meat just inches away from her opening. She looked up at him and pulled his head to hers in a passionate kiss, and he took the plunge. She groaned into his mouth as he penetrated her, the slickness of his cum on his cock and saliva in her warm tunnel helping him glide swiftly into her. He paused, passionately kissing her back, and she growled and looked into his eyes.

"Go for it," she whispered desperately, and threw her head back with a loud yell of pleasure as he began thrusting hard into her.

----meanwhile----

Not long after Solar and Flare had left, Spyro sensed Cynder getting horny again and he laughed.

"So you've been waiting for them to leave now, haven't you?" he asked, wrapping his arm around her and giving her a playful shake.

"What is this? Suddenly YOU know what I'M thinking instead of the usual vice-versa?"

"You sense my thoughts, I sense your emotions," he replied, "and right now I know you're wanting some fun."

"Fun sounds really good coming from you," she said enticingly, and leaned up and kissed him. "What's on your mind? I know you've got an idea."

He pulled away and looked a little nervous. "Well...you...you wanna try mating while...flying?"

She looked at him in surprise. The idea turned her on but...flying? "How do you propose we do that?"

He gently laid her on her back. "Grab hold of me," he said, and she wrapped her forelegs around his neck and her hindlegs around his waist and held on tight. He shoved off the ground, and as soon as they were airborne he wrapped his arms around her. She felt a rush of adrenaline as he stretched his wings and glided above the mushroom caps, flying off to the south where he knew no creatures were around.

"Don't drop me!" she said, looking down.

"Don't worry, I won't," he said, but in the back of his mind he kept repeating "I damn well better not!" As they relaxed and acclimatized to this arrangement, Cynder giggled as she felt his dragonhood slowly creeping out of his sheath and pushing its way between their bellies. She quickly pulled herself forward and he pulled his hips back and entered her, and let out a long sigh of pleasure as she scooted back on his solid cock. Something about being in the air instead of on the ground made both of them more excited than usual, and the slight movement of him inside her from him flapping his wings was close enough to making her climax. She screamed as pleasure rocketed through her as he began thrusting with his hips, holding her tight as he used the motion of his wings to give him more leverage. Spyro moaned loudly...they had never felt anything like this before. It wasn't completely shadowing their previous experiences, but the new sensation was incredible. As if his body had a mind of its own he continued flying as he thrust in and out of her wonderfully warm depths, and she groaned and yelled with each shove as he buried himself in her. Being in the air gave them a slightly different position that was giving her a different orgasmic build than usual and it wracked her body with the extreme pleasure.

"SPYROOO!!!" she screamed as she was unexpectedly hurtled into a mind-blowing orgasm, holding him even tighter as her insides spasmed and drenched his whole underside with her warm love-juices.

"Oh my gosh," Spyro grunted, almost losing himself as the added sensation of her climax nearly made him fold his wings. Sensing his own orgasm inevitably drawing nearer, he looped around and Cynder gasped as the adrenaline rush added to her ecstasy. She pumped her hips against him but couldn't get enough leverage in her position, and as Spyro straightened his course he began pounding into her with increased vigor, his member hitting her right where she wanted it and sending waves of pleasure coursing through both of them. Cynder screamed and again climaxed, but this time he anticipated it and thrust even harder into her, angling his flight upwards, and with a loud roar he went over the edge and they fell. Cynder was coming down from her orgasmic high when she was suddenly shot into an even more intense one as Spyro's hot dragon seed gushed forcefully into her and filled her as they suddenly fell from the air. As Spyro felt his hard cock pulsing his thick white juice into her he straightened his wings the best he could and pulled out of the dive. It was all Spyro could do to keep aloft, but all he could think of was Cynder as she clung to him in their hazy afterglow. He pulled his dragonhood out of her and she moaned, feeling his unneeded cum spill out of her and his meat still flowing onto her tail in the breeze. Spyro landed in the first open area they passed over, and Cynder rolled out of his arms onto the ground as he came to a stop. He crawled over to her and they lay there, breathless and thoroughly satisfied.

"That...was...amazing..." Cynder panted, giving him a lick on the cheek. "Did you...know it'd be...like that?"

Spyro slowly caught his breath and kissed her lovingly. "No...I figured something new would be good." She wrapped her arms around him.

"We're all sticky now," she giggled.

"But it was well worth it."

"Definitely." She closed her eyes and smiled, and giggled again as she felt him licking her and cleaning her off. "Still can't get enough of me, huh?" she asked.

"Of course not...how can I ever get enough of something as sweet as you?" he asked.

"Well don't stop...it feels good."

He grinned and slowly worked his way down, finally cleaning his own seed from her tail. She yawned and slowly sat up with a huge, warm smile.

"I take it you liked that?" he asked.

"Of course, why wouldn't I? You take such good care of me..."

"I'm still a mess, though," he said, looking down at himself.

"Well, nothing against you but I prefer the river," she said, standing up.

"Why, exactly?"

"I dunno," she said as he followed her, "I just...I guess I like feeling those strong muscles and knowing I'm keeping them good and clean..."

He kissed her on the cheek as he caught up to her. "Well then, let's go and get these muscles washed." Cynder laughed and leaned against him as they walked.

Solar and Flare were already at the river, and as Spyro and Cynder approached all four of them caught sight of each other and blushed, taking a pretty good guess as to why they were all there.

"Well, we're done here anyway," Flare said, and she and Solar hurriedly flew into the air. Spyro and Cynder looked at each other with nervous laughs before Spyro stepped into the water. Cynder followed him and took her time as she gently cleaned him off. They loved this little ritual but all too soon she was done and they were flying back to the Temple to rest. They snuggled together in bed, wrapped around each other.

"That was the most fun I've had in a while," Cynder whispered, and yawned.

"But it was pretty tiring, huh?"

"I hardly did anything and I'm more exhausted than you are!" she said, tucking her head between his chin and chest. "I don't think that's fair, you did all the work and I did nothing..."

"I gave you that experience, I don't need repayment," he said softly in her ear. "You just keep on being your cute little loving self."

She giggled sleepily and closed her eyes, and they both fell asleep in mere seconds.

In the main room, Alex was dead-tired. He'd been straining himself to find some message, some hint as to where Christine might be...he could hear her and talk to her, but it was incredibly difficult because they both sounded like they were miles apart in an echoing cavern.

"Christine...I can't hear you well but give me some sign of where you are," he said, but he said it to himself, too tired to project his thoughts into the dimensional rift. He looked over his wings again and sighed, flapping them weakly a few times and feeling the muscles of his back ripple as these new limbs moved. He sighed heavily. "Man, what would Christine think of me if she saw me like this? She's always had an attraction to dragons and reptiles but...this is a bit extreme." He stretched out on the plants around the walls of the room and slowly fell asleep.

* * * *

The next day, Cynder and Flare were both feeling a little sick, and Alex tagged along with Spyro and Solar as the two males went off to find food. Seeing how he couldn't fly yet, Alex had to ride on Solar's back. Spyro was still too small to carry Alex, though he probably could if the need arose. While out, Alex watched how they gathered the food, and as they headed back he was silent, obviously thinking of something. When they got back to the temple, Alex quickly made his way out to the woods and disappeared for several hours. Spyro and Solar sat there on the balcony with their mates, keeping them company. As midday rolled around, a cold breeze began blowing over them.

"Something doesn't feel right," Flare said, looking upwind. Spyro gasped and Cynder yelled in surprise as he began shuddering again.

"Oh please, not again!" she cried, grabbing hold of him.

"Gah...I...I c-can't...agh..." he grunted, trying to withstand the pain, and Cynder backed away as he growled and yelled, thrashing violently. "Too many..." he groaned, his eyes clenched shut, and he suddenly roared and fell to the floor, gasping for breath. At the same time, they heard a hideous shriek from what seemed like the air itself, and something invisible yet deathly cold passed over them westward. As the feeling passed, Flare shrieked in surprise as Alex vaulted up from the ground onto the balcony, a strange, vengeful fire in his eyes.

"Where are they?!" he demanded in an unusually animal manner, crouching on the stone flooring. Without waiting for an answer he snarled and surprised them with an almighty jump that launched him to the wall of the temple, where he clung and looked around. Solar flew towards him, and just in time, too--Alex suddenly shuddered and fell off the wall, and Solar caught him just a foot above the ground and carried him back up to the balcony. Spyro groaned and Cynder hugged him as Solar tended to Alex.

"I figured..." Solar said, an angered look in his eyes.

"Solar?" Flare asked, walking up to him.

"Whatever was left in him is slowly returning. How he jumps like that I have no clue, but I don't think it's a result of the evil remainder in him."

"It isn't," Alex groaned.

"You're still awake?"

"When did I pass out?"

"Just now."

Alex groaned again, and suddenly sat up with a shout of "Christine!" He fell back again, unconscious.

"What is it with guys coming into this realm?" Cynder asked, and they all looked at her. "Well, Solar was emotionally unstable, and separated from Flare...Alex has some dark influence and is separated from Christine...seems like guys have some kind of internal issue when they come here."

Alex groaned again, and Solar sighed. "Would you make up your mind? Are you unconscious or not?"

"Hopefully not..." He slowly stood up, reeling a bit. "I have no idea what came over me...but they have Christine, they brought her here...or at least I think they did..."

"You can't tell for sure?" Cynder asked, still holding a dazed Spyro.

"No...it feels like she's here but..." He closed his eyes and felt the air. "No...she's not here...she's close but she's not here yet." He didn't open his eyes, though; he was still searching. "I was afraid of this..."

"What?"

"They're gathering, slowly and surely, but not in the physical realm here...in a parallel pocket."

"So...they plan to attack us?" Flare asked.

"They plan to attack ME. I'm what they're after...now that they have Christine they'll no doubt use her as some kind of bait..."

"Can we expect an attack anytime soon, though?" Solar asked.

Spyro suddenly growled and Cynder jumped back from him. "What's your problem?"

"You don't feel that?" he asked, looking up over the balcony. Alex looked up and he too growled. "Show yourself you miserable wretch!"

"Unfortunately for you, my scaly friends," came a familiar voice from two days ago, "you shattered my visible form. I'm here to congratulate you, Alex, your powers are far more than I'd expected."

"Compliments from an enemy can only mean trouble," Alex snarled. "What do you want?"

"Merely to give you a friendly heads-up," the shadow laughed evilly. "You need not fear, we don't plan to attack soon...though time is all relative. You have a good two months or so to save your precious girl and attempt to escape before we rain down on you in full wrath. Just know this--the evil in you binds you here. Good luck escaping!" With that they felt him dissipate into the air with an echoing laugh of triumph.

Cynder shuddered, and Spyro wrapped his wing around her. "What's wrong?"

"Two months...how can we protect our children from them?"
