//------------------------------// // Season of Ice: Frozen Fairies // Story: Filly amongst dragons // by RobtheMorpherPony //------------------------------// After Lunch ended, Cozy Glow got everyone's attention. "So, things kind of settled down for a couple of months. During this down time, Spyro was showing me, Hunter, and Bianca the various places in the Dragon Realms. However, before we could get to where Gnasty Gnorc had set up his first base of operations, a balloon with a letter attached floated towards us. Bianca managed to grab it and figured out it was sent with Fairy Magic. The letter attached to the balloon was from Zoey. It explained that someone had cast a spell over the fairies in the Fairy Lands trapping all one hundred of them in ice. To make matters worse, the Rynocs had returned and were busy searching for the scattered fairies." Cozy Glow stated. "My father had sensed something going wrong in the Fairy Home Worlds, so he opened a portal to them so that we may find out what was going wrong over there. Which is where we encountered Spyro's gang." Cynder said. Flashback "Yikes!" Hunter said as the group entered the Autum Fairy Home. "Cynder?" Spyro asked. "Oh hey Spyro. What are you doing here? These your friends?" Cynder asked. "If you must know, we're hear because a fairy friend of ours mentioned that fairies have become trapped in ice and that the Rynocs have started to spread out and look for the now frozen fairies." Spyro noted. "Fairies have become trapped in ice? So that is what I sensed." Malafor said. "Spyro, that dragon looks very scary." Hunter said. "...What's wrong with your cat friend?" Cynder asked. "I think it's your father." Spyro said. "Do not be alarmed cat; I mean you no harm. Unless of course you are the one responsible for trapping fairies in ice." Malafor said. "I recognize your magic; it's same kind that created that portal." Bianca said. "What is this rabbit girl here for?" Cynder asked. "That's Bianca, a friend of ours and she's a bit of a Sorceress in training you could say. Before you ask she--" Spyro said. "In training? Then I doubt she could have pulled of a spell that could freeze the fairies so. But then why is she with you?" Malafor asked. "She carries a magic spell book that she left behind at a library and now she's looking for it while me and Hunter try and track down the one responsible for this whole mess." Spyro said. "Ahem." Cozy Glow said. "Oh, and Cozy Glow too." Spyro said. "Zoey is my friend too you know. She's the one that sent us the letter explaining everything." Cozy Glow said. "I see. My daughter Cynder, I ask that you work with Spyro and his friends. Meanwhile, I will return to the Mystic Lands. From there, I will hopefully be able to use my dragon powers to track down the origin of the freeze spell." Malafor said. "Of course father. Looks like I'm going to repay you for your help with my father sooner then I thought I would, Purple." Cynder said before Malafor left. "So long as you stick close. I've fought the Rynoc Army before, so I know how to deal with them." Spyro said. "Yeah I learnt my lesson from the last time. Still, you will most certainly need an extra hand. Who knows what's changed with the Rynoc Army since you last fought them." Cynder said. "I honestly couldn't tell you. After the Sorceress's initial defeat at the hands of Spyro, the Rynoc Army sort of scattered." Bianca said. "...The Sorceress?" Cynder asked. "We'll talk as we rescue Faries, Black." Spyro said. "Fair enough. Whoa Pussycat, where do you think your running off to?" Cynder asked. "Going to see if I can find a few faries." Hunter said and dashed off. "...Same old Hunter." Spyro said. "I suppose I will go on ahead too and see if I can find my magic spell book. It is sure to hold the answers on whose behind this." Bianca said. "I almost wonder if the person who cast the freeze spell and the one who picked up your book Bunny are one and the same." Cynder said. "Bunny?" Bianca asked. "Cynder tends to give out little nicknames to others." Spyro said. "Ah. I see." Bianca said. Present day "The frozen fairies were easy to thaw out with Spyro's breath. I sadly couldn't do much." Cynder said. "Well aside from dealing with the occasional Rynoc." She added. "After all, my specaility is Shadow powers." The black dragoness said. "Wait, but when we faught, you were using wind powers." Spyro said. "Says the dragon who can now use other breath abilities I was using Wind powers because I didn't want to resort to my speciality." Cynder said. "Well your goal was to get Spyro to flee not totally mess him up. In a way, kind of makes sense why you'd go for the non-lethal approach." Rainbow Dash said. "...Pegasi tend to be really good at combat stuff." She added. "Um...well..." Fluttershy said. "Except maybe Flutters, but that's because that's the way she is. Nothing wrong with it though. Not all Pegasi tend to study combat techs." Rainbow Dash said. "Just most of them do." She added. "Just like how not every dragon turns out the same way." Smolder said, elbowing Spike. "Why are you putting me on the spot?" Spike asked. "Because you know it's true." Smolder said. "Heh...I guess I do." Spike said. "Please no mushy stuff!" Cozy Glow said. "Dragons don't do mushy stuff." Smolder said.
