Chapter 3: Starting out rough


Outside of Ponyville

In the grass fields of Ponyville, Princess Twilight Sparkle, her daughter Nyx, her assistant Spike and her friends, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, along with Discord were picnicking in the warm afternoon sun. Discord finally let true friendship in his heart after Tirek betrayed him, along by taking his chaos magic. The main six finally see him as a true friend, which made him really happy. Rainbow Dash told them great news that she got a letter from Spitfire (The Wonderbolts leader) saying she is opening another Training academy and wants Rainbow to be the newbie’s official training coach. From the events of the previous academy, along by training with them for the Equestria games, Spitfire and the others see the spirit of a Wonderbolt within her and want to test her out to see if she has what it takes to be a leader.

“That’s great news Rainbow. Maybe soon, they’ll make you an honorary member for their team.” Twilight said. 

“If that ever happens, I would be the happiest Pegasus in all of Equestria.” Rainbow Dash said beaming.  

“You earned it darling. Congrats.” Rarity said with a smile.

“So when does the next academy start?” asked Applejack.

“Starts in a couple of weeks.” Rainbow said. “I’m going to show them what I can really do.”

“Just don’t let it go to your head.” Discord said.

They all started laughing until Spike burped out a scroll. Twilight caught the scroll with her magic, and opened it.

“Who’s it from mommy?” Nyx asked.

“It’s from Princess Celestia.” Twilight said. 

“What does it say? What does it say?” Pinkie Pie asked all but exited.

“Let’s see.”

Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle,

As much as it is to write to you again and ask how well you and your friends are doing, I’m writing to you for your assistance. For the past 4 days, I have been receiving unusual nightmares of Ponyville, and Canterlot being destroyed by a large, purple dragon. Do not let this fear take hold of Spike, for I know he would never do anything like that. But still, this is a fear that has overwhelmed me for a while. My sister Princess Luna is in the Canterlot library doing some reaserch on what these dreams mean. I would appreciate that you and your friends come to Canterlot to help my sister and me with this phenomenon. A train will be leaving to Canterlot in the morning. I will be looking forward to your assistance as soon as possible.

Yours truly,
Princess Celestia.

Twilight put the scroll down and began to think. Why would she be having the same dream for the past 4 days? Even her friends were confused by this.

“What should we do Twilight?” Fluttershy asked. “Celestia never had this problem before.”

“You do have a point there Fluttershy. And it seems to be an important problem to her.”

Twilight continued thinking, until she finally came to a conclusion.

“Alright girls, get prepared, because we’re leaving to Canterlot in the morning.” Twilight said. Everypony nodded in understanding and returned home to get packed. Spike got on Twilights back and the two flew back to the castle in Ponyville, with Nyx flying behind them.

EverFree Forest

Spyro and Cynder hopped out of the portal from Avalar and stepped into a whole new world. The two looked around and saw they were in a forest; no surprise to them. However, they felt it was off in an unusual way. The forest was peaceful, showing no signs of danger anywhere. Spyro closed his eyes and listened with his ears and smelled with his nose to his new surroundings. For a couple of minutes, he couldn’t hear or smell anything threatening.

“Cynder, do you feel anything off about this?” Spyro asked. Cynder looked around for a few seconds and knew Spyro was onto something.

“Yeah. It’s too quiet. And I’m not picking up anything dangerous about this place.”

“We should be cautious. We don’t know what will be lurking around this place.” He suggested.

“Right.”

The two dragons lead on to their mission to stop Malefor. What they don’t know, is that they are being watched by hungry, yellow eyes.

Ponyville

The sun was slowly setting over the horizon of Ponyville. Twilight was in her castle library, searching through her books to see which ones should be useful for Celestia and Luna’s research. Spike was searching through drawers to find some empty, blank scrolls, ink and quills to take notes down just in case Celestia needs to give them important information. Nyx stood in the center watching Spike and Twilight running around collecting what they need for the trip.

“Can I come to Twilight?” Nyx asked.

“Sorry Nyx, but this is a job for older mares. You will stay here in the Castle.” Twilight said.

“AAAWWW. I never get to go to Canterlot. Please Twilight? I’ll be really good. I promise.” Nyx said staring at her with puppy eyes.

“I’m sorry Nyx, but my answer is no.”

Nyx gave a small pout with frustration in her eyes. Twilight smiled at Nyx and walked up to her, raising her head with her hoof.

“How about this, if you behave while I’m gone, I’ll take you over to Sugercube Corner for a treat. How does that sound?”

Nyx sighed with defeat, but happily took the offer. “Okay.”

Twilight gave Nyx a hug and a kiss on the head.

“That’s my girl.” She said rubbing her head. “Now, why don’t you go upstairs and play for a bit. Dinner will be ready soon.”

Nyx nodded and left the library. She was still disappointed that she can’t go to Canterlot with Twilight and Spike. Suddenly, she heard Twilights voice panicking a little. She turned around and listened to the conversation.

“Spike, have you seen ‘The knowledge of Dreams’ book?”

“Sorry Twilight. I haven’t.”

“Keep looking. It has to be here somewhere.”

Nyx immediately remembered where the book might be. A couple days ago, Twilight let Zecora borrow the book. She was working on a potion to help pony’s sleep better. She needed to know the knowledge on how dreams are made, how to control them, and how to prevent nightmares from forming. An idea popped into her head. Nyx decided to take this opportunity to get the book back from Zecora. If she does, Twilight may allow her to come with them to Canterlot. She ran out of the castle and headed to the Everfree Forest. But Nyx knew she had to get to Zecoras hut fast. The sun was setting fast, and she knows the forest can be dangerous during the night. But, Nyx had some experience with the forest a couple of times before. Not to mention she can defend herself with her magic. Even though much of her original magic was taken from Luna due to the Nightmare Moon incident, Twilight was able to teach Nyx a few spells and tricks to help get her magic flowing again. Nyx can also fly for a good amount of time to avoid danger.

Back at the caste, Twilight and Spike decided to lay off finding the book for a while. They decided to relax for a little bit and decided to start dinner. Spike made celery soup and daffodil sandwiches for Twilight and Nyx; he then reached under the cabinet and opened up a chest full of gemstones Rarity gave him. He took a few and placed them on a plate. He took the food and placed it on a table, large enough for the three.

“Spike, can you go upstairs and get Nyx?” Twilight asked. 

“Sure.”

Spike went upstairs and went to the front of Nyx’s room. He knocked on the door three times, but no answer.

“Nyx? Hey Nyx, dinner’s ready.” Still no answer. Spike was now starting to worry. He opened the door slowly and took a peak in her room.

“Nyx? Are you in here?”

He flicked the light switch on and saw an empty room. Nyx was gone. Spike began to panic. He then started to call out for Nyx through the castle. He checked the alchemy room, the library, and other places around the castle. Nyx was nowhere to be found. Spike was now in full panic mode. He then ran back to the dining room, where Twilight was peacefully eating her dinner. She looked up and saw Spike with a panicked face.

“Spike what’s wrong? Where’s Nyx?” Twilight asked.

“SHE’S GONE!!” Spike shouted in panic.

“WHAT!!?”  Twilight began to panic as well.

“I checked everywhere around the castle. I can’t find her!”

“Where can she be!?” she asked.

Spike began think hard trying to remember where Nyx might be. Suddenly his brain snapped and his green, dragon eyes began to grow. “Oh no.”

“Spike what is it?” she asked.

“I know where she might be, along with your book.”

“Where!?” He hesitated for a second until he had the courage to speak.

“Zecora has your Dream book. Nyx probably went her hut to get it back!” He clamped his mouth with his claws when he said it. Twilights eyes widened with fear and shock. She snapped her head around to look at the sky. The sun has already set, and the moon was starting to rise over the horizon. 

“We have to find her quickly!” Twilight said. Spike nodded in agreement and the two ran out of the castle and headed for the Everfree Forest.

Deep in the Everfree Forest

After hours of walking through the forest, Spyro and Cynder decided to lie down and rest for the night. However, the two had a problem. It was Mid Spring in Equestria, and the temperature changes in the day and night. During the day, it can get pleasantly warm when the sun is shining, but during the night, it can get a little chilly. Tonight however, it was freezing. The temperatures dropped to about 40*f. Spyro and Cynder snuggled close to each other to try to stay warm. They made a nest to try to counteract the cold, but offered very little help. Spyro tried to make a fire around them to stay warm, but the wind was picking up hard and put out the fire with ease. As the wind picked up, it began to eat away more of Spyro and Cynders body heat. The two dragons were shivering in their scales as the night continued.

“I’m freezing Spyro.” Cynder said. Spyro looked at her as he began to worry. If this continues, the egg won’t have a chance to survive. He snuggled closer to her, letting out every bit of body heat he had. He opened his wings to cover up Cynder, which seemed to work. But as soon as Cynder was getting warm, the two suddenly heard growling.

“What was that?” Cynder asked with fear.

“I don’t know. Stay close to me.” He said as he stood.

Out of the brush, two wolf-like creatures appeared out of the shadows, followed by three more. The creatures stared down the two dragons with hunger in their yellow eyes.

“What are they?” she asked.

“I don’t know. I’ve never seen a species of wolf like this before.”

They looked at the creatures. They looked liked wolves, but their bodies were completely made out of wood and twigs. Tree sap leaked from their mouths, almost ready to attack. They opened their mouths, revealing sharp wooden teeth. Spyro got ready in his fighting stance, ready to strike if the creatures attack. “Stay behind me.” He said to Cynder.

The first wolf lunged forward opening his mouth to try to take a bite out of Cynder. Spyro quickly acted and swat the wolf with his tail. The wolf was flung back and hit a nearby tree; exploding into pieces. Spyro smirked, knowing these creatures will be easy to kill. But his smirk was quickly wiped from his face when he saw the wolf rebuilding itself. Spyro underestimated these creatures and prepared to attack. The Pack finally lunged forward to the dragons. Spyro too charged forward to the pack. Spyro was now in the fight of his life.

With Nyx

Fog began to kick in around the area as Nyx went deeper into the forest. Nyx tried to remember where she had to go to get to Zecoras house. As the fog began to clear, she stopped and realized she took a wrong turn. She was at the edge of a dead end cliff. She began to get nervous knowing that she is lost. Behind her, she heard growling sounds. She quickly turned and was face to face with a Timber wolf. Its yellow eyes stared her down, opening its jaws revealing its teeth. Sap dropped from its jaws looking at the young filly, almost tasting her flesh. Fear took hold of Nyx as the Timber wolf drew closer. She finally gathered enough courage and stared down the wolf with a message in her eyes:”I’m not backing down. Come at me with all you got.” The Wolf got the message and showed no signed of backing down either.

The Timber Wolf charge toward Nyx. Nyx charged as well, with her horn glowing. When the two got close, Nyx used her teleportation spell and disappeared. She reappeared under the creature and gave it a powerful kick to the stomach. The wolf yelped in pain as it flew in the air. Nyx jumped into the air, flapping her wings with all her might and gave the wolf a left hook. The Timber wolf flew to the ground and crashed, creating a small crater. Nyx charged her magic into her horn and released it at the crater, causing a small explosion.

With Twilight and Spike

Twilight and Spike saw smoke in the distance above the trees of the forest. Twilight felt the power of the explosion. She knew it was Nyx’s magic. The two immediately ran forward to the explosion. As they finally got to the area where the explosion took place, Twilight and Spikes eyes widened and their mouths hung open to the sight. They saw Nyx fighting a Timber Wolf. Nyx dodged the wolf’s attacks and counterattacked. The Timber wolf backed up, exhausted and bruised from the fight. Nyx was far from done. Before the wolf had enough time to recover, Nyx head butt the wolf dead center in the chest, following that up with fast attacks with her hoofs. Nyx once again charged up magic in her horn and released it into a magical beam. The Timber wolf howled in pain as it began to turn into nothing but dust. When the beam faded, Nyx breathed heavily with her head hanging from the ground. She lifted her head and gave a victorious grin while looking at the pile of dust.

“Don’t ever mess with me.” Nyx said.

Nyx then turned her head and saw Twilight and Spike. To her surprise, their mouths were still hanging, and eyes widened. Nyx gave a nervous smile to the two.

“Ummm..Hi?” Before she could say anything else, Twilight grabbed her and gave her a bone crushing hug with tears running down her face.

“What were you thinking?! You could’ve been killed!” Twilight shouted with relief, fear and anger in her eyes. 

“I…I..” Nyx struggled to get a sentence out.

“Don’t ever scare me like that ever again!” She looked into Twilights eyes knowing she’s being very serious for what she has done. Tears were now stared to form in Nyx’s eyes and returned a hug to her.

“I’m..I’m sorry Twilight. I..I just wanted to help..And to convince you.”

“Convince me on what?” Twilight asked.

“Convince you that I’m not a little filly anymore. I wanted to show you that I’m capable to handle myself. When I heard you couldn’t find your book, I wanted to help you get it back from Zecora.” Nyx said.

“But why?”

“Because….Because I wanted to get your approval to go to Canterlot with you and Spike.” She answered.

“That’s what this is all about?” Twilight asked. Nyx stood up and walked to the edge of the cliff, looking above the night sky.

“You never allow me to help you with anything that you and your friends do. You never give me a chance to help you at all. If I showed you that I can the book back from Zecora, you would probably allow me to go to Canterlot with you two. Ever since you became a true princess, we never get spend a lot of time together then we normally do. But, now I see that I was risking my neck and life to get you approval. I’m so so sorry for making you two worried.” Nyx began to cry softly, finally understanding for what she has done.

Twilight understood where Nyx was coming from. She was right, ever since she discovered for what princess she was, she wasn’t able to spend time with her daughter then she normally had. Twilight walked up behind Nyx and sat down. She gently put her hoof on Nyx’s shoulder. “Nyx..”

Nyx turned around and saw Twilight very depressed. Twilight scooped up Nyx and gave her another hug. “I’m sorry to Nyx.” She said.

“What?”

“I should’ve understood why you went through all this trouble. All you ever wanted was to spend more time with me and my friends. And you were right; I never gave you a chance to help me and my friends with what we do. I should’ve seen this earlier. Even though you’re still a filly, you’re starting to become a great mare. I should have given you a chance. Can you ever forgive me?”

Tears of joy began to run down Nyx’s eyes and gladly returned a hug of her own to Twilight.

“Yes, and thank you for finally understanding Twilight.” Nyx said crying softly.

When the two backed up from their embrace, another question popped into Twilights head.

“I’ve been meaning to ask, where did you learn to fight like that? I never taught you how to fight.” Twilight said.

“I’ve been taking karate lessons from Auntie Rainbow Dash.” Nyx said with a smile.

“When did that happen?” she asked.

“A couple months ago. She was impressed with my skills and said I was a fast learner.”

“What colored belt are you?” Spike asked.

“Red.” She answered.

“Woah.” Spike said with an awe like expression on his face. Nyx couldn’t help but giggle.

“What do you think I’ve been doing for most of my spare time other than working with magic?”

Twilight and Spike started to laugh. Nyx looked up at Twilight with few bits of guilt left in her eyes.

“I’m sorry again Twilight. I promise I’ll listen to your rules from now on.” Twilight looked into Nyx’s cyan colored, dragon eyes and smiled. She bent down and nuzzled her. “It’s okay Nyx.” Silence went through the forest for a while until Twilight spoke.

“How would you like to come to Canterlot with me, Spike and my friends?” she asked with a smile. Nyx’s eyes widened to the question and smiled as well.

“You..You really mean it?”

“As long as you stay close to me and do what I say.” Twilight answered. Nyx wrapped her forelegs around Twilight’s neck and smiled. “Thank you Twilight. I promise I’ll behave.” She said.

Smiling from ear to ear, Twilight wrapped her forelegs around Nyx and gave her a hug as well. “You’re welcome Nyx.” Silence went on in the forest as the two kept their embrace. Spike couldn’t help but tear up a little. Twilight and Nyx grabbed Spike and joined him in their hug. The pair continued to hold one another until they heard growling behind them. The three turned around and saw five Timber wolves staring down at them with anger and hunger in their eyes. Their out for payback for what Nyx did to one of their members of their group.

“These things just don’t give up do they?” Nyx asked.

“Apparently they don’t.” Twilight answered. The three backed up until they were fully at the edge of the cliff. Nyx stood forward and faced the wolves.

“I guess we have no choice but to fight.” She said. Even though Twilight doesn’t want to fight and usually runs from Timber wolves, they were in a tight spot, with nowhere to run. She had no other choice. Twilight stood next to Nyx with her horn glowing, while Spike stands next to them snorting smoke out of his nose. The three readied themselves as the Timber wolves charged towered them with their mouths opened. The three charged as well. This was an all out battle. It’s do or die.

With Spyro and Cynder

Spyro continued his attacks against the wolves as the creatures continue to bite deep into his scales and scratch deep wounds into his body. Spyro pressed on the attack, using his claws, legs and tail to pull off deadly combos. Even though he hasn’t trained in over two years, he still remembers the art of fighting from his ancestors. One wolf slipped past through Spyros defenses and charged forward to Cynder with its mouth open, ready to bite deep into her neck. Cynder used her Wind breath to blow the wolf off its legs and into the air. The wolf landed on its legs and charged once more. She used her poison breath on the wolf. It made direct contact, but had no effect. The wolf opened its mouth, ready to kill Cynder.

“SPYRO, HELP!!” Spyro turned around and saw the wolf closing in on Cynder. As fast as lightning, he burst away from the pack and grabbed the wolf from the rear end of the neck. The wolf howled in pain as Spyro bit deep into the neck and threw the wolf away. He began to breath heavily knowing he used up a lot of energy from the battle. He began to get close to Cynder ready to protect her with his life. Before the wolves had a chance to pounce, a faint scream in the distance got their attention. They looked back at Spyro and Cynder. Spyro still had determination and fight in his eyes as he looked down at the creatures. The pack growled as they retreated into the shadows. The two dragons looked at each other with confusion in their eyes. Why didn’t they finish them off? Suddenly, they heard a faint scream in the distance. It was the sound of another creature getting killed or hurt.

“Lets’ go Cynder. We have to help it.” Spyro said.

As much as Cynder didn’t want to help and rest, she knew in her heart helping innocent creatures was the right thing. She got up carefully from the nest, looked at Spyro and nodded. Spyro nodded back and the two headed for the location where the screaming came from.

With Twilight, Nyx and Spike

“AAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!” A timber wolf bit deep into Twilights leg and caused it to bleed. Nyx bashed the Timber wolf in the chest, causing it to release its grip. Spike used his claws to create deep wounds in the Timber wolves sides, but didn’t do a lot of damage. A timber wolf raised its paw and smacked Spike in the face and sends him flying into a tree. 

“SPIKE NOOO!!” Twilight shouted. Another Timber wolf bit deep into Twilights other leg, causing her to scream in pain. Another Timber wolf charged and bashed Twilight into the chest. Twilight slid on the floor and stopped near Spike who was trying to get his focus back in his eyes. Nyx was knocked back by another wolf using its head. Nyx landed near Twilight and Spike who were weak, tired and seriously wounded by the battle. The three looked up and saw that the pack was ready to finish this battle. They looked at the pack with fear, knowing that they can’t continue to fight back. Two Timber wolves jumped into the air and darted near the three with their mouths open, ready to finish them off. Twilight, Nyx and Spike held each other and closed their eyes, waiting for the final blow to come.

But it never came.

Twilight finally gathered the courage to open her eyes to see what has happened. Her eyed widened at the sight. She saw two dragons standing in front of them. She was more surprised at the purple dragon that looked like Spike, except it was older, its purple scales has a darker color, it had yellow spines and horns on its head; not to mention both dragons had wings.  The other dragon was slimmer, had black scales, white horns on its head, and had a dark pink under belly color. She knew this dragon was a female. The purple dragon was a male.

The purple dragon looked down at twilight with courage and protection in his Violet colored eyes.

“Are you alright?” he asked. She was now more surprised that this dragon could talk. Nyx and Spike opened their eyes and looked at the two dragons. Spike was really surprised that the purple dragon looked like him, except bigger and had wings, yellow spines and horns.

“Don’t worry; we won’t let these things hurt you three. Stay low and we’ll handle them.” He said with a calm tone. The three nodded and stayed low.

“Cynder, stay with them and don’t let any of those things come near them.”

She nodded and stayed close to them. The purple dragon walked forward to the Timber wolves and growled.

“Bring it on!” he shouted.

Without hesitation of their new foe, the Timber wolves charged forward to the dragon. The dragon charged and began to do some combos. Swiping his claws into the wolf’s faces, kicking them, and hitting them with his tail. Two Timber wolves passed through the dragon’s defenses and charged at Twilight, Nyx and Spike. The black dragon cut them off and screeched at them with her fear element. The wolves exploded into twigs; the three were amazed by the dragon that it destroyed them with sound. But, the wolves rebuild themselves and glared at her. The purple dragon backed up and stood next to the black dragon.

“How do we kill these things?” the purple dragon asked. “These things are almost immortal.”

“Timber wolves are weak against fire.” Twilight said. Spyro looked at the lavender creature. The black dragon looked at the dragon next to her and face palmed.

“Why didn’t we knew about this before?” she said to the purple dragon.”Quick, burn them into ashes.”

“Are you sure that’s a good idea? What happens if a fire starts?” He asked.

“There’s no time! Just do it!” the black dragon shouted.

The purple dragon sighed and stepped forward. The wolves charged at them to finish them off for good. The purple dragon inhaled the air deeply into his lungs. When the wolves got close enough, he released the fire within him, letting out a powerful flame. The three looked with shock and amazement on how big and powerful the flame is. After the flames died down, the Timber wolves were no more. All that remained were their ashes that flew into the night sky. The two dragons painted heavily as they finally caught their breath. The purple dragon collapsed on his knees as he grew tired. The black dragon ran to his side and helped him up. Twilight and the others walked up to them to see if they’re alright.

“Are you two going to be okay?” she asked.

“Don’t worry. We’ll be fine. We’ve been through a lot worse.”  The purple dragon said with a weak smile.

Twilight smiled at the two dragons. “We can’t thank you both enough for saving our lives. We are forever in your depts.” Twilight said.

“It’s no problem at all. We were more than happy to help.” The black dragon said. Twilight and the others smiled at the dragons.

“I believe we should introduce ourselves. My name is Twilight Sparkle. This is my assistant Spike, and my daughter Nyx.”

“Hello.” The two said.

“A pleasure to meet you Twilight, Nyx, Spike. My name is Spyro. This is my mate Cynder.” Said the Purple dragon.

“Pleasure to meet you all.” She said with a warm pleasant smile.

“Your mate?” Spike asked.

“Yes, me and Cynder are a mated pair.” Spyro said.

“Interesting.” Twilight said.

“What makes you say that?” Spyro asked.

“Oh. It’s nothing.” She said with a nervous giggle. Spyro arched a scaly eyebrow, but soon smiled. Nyx walked over to Cynder and looked under her belly.

“How come your belly is extended like that?” Nyx asked.

“Nyx.” Twilight said.

“What? I’m just curious.” Cynder giggled and happily answered Nyx’s question.

“You see, me and Spyro are expecting great things soon.” She answered.

“What do you mean great things?” Nyx asked. Suddenly her eyes widened, along with Spike and Twilight.

“Wait! Your telling us that..” Nyx couldn’t finish her sentence. Cynder giggled and nodded to their answer. 

“Yes young one, I’m pregnant.” Cynder said. Twilight, Nyx and Spikes mouth dropped, almost hitting the floor. Spyro and Cynder couldn’t help but laugh on the expressions on their faces. The three regained their composer and looked at the two dragons.

“That’s very surprising. Congratulations, you two.” Spike said. Spyro and Cynder smiled and nodded. Suddenly the wind picked up again and the two dragons shivered.

“It’s very cold out tonight. How would you two like to come back to Ponyville for some rest?” Twilight asked.

“Are you sure you don’t mind?” Spyro asked.

“It’s the least we can do after you saved our lives. We are happy to aid you two however we can.”

They two smiled and happily took their offer.

“Wait. What about the book?” Nyx asked. 

“We’ll get it tomorrow before we leave to Canterlot. Right now, we need to head home, get healed up, and get some sleep.”

They all agreed to the conclusion and pressed on through the forest. After the past couple of minutes, the two ponies and three dragons made their way out of the forest and made it to Ponyville. To Spyro and Cynders surprise, it was the same village they saw in their dreams. Normally they would act fast and tell Twilight about their mission, but for now rest was on their mind. When they got to the castle, Twilight, Nyx and Spike went to the infirmary room to get cleaned up and bandaged. Outside the castle, Spyro and Cynder summoned a red and green Spirit gem using the white crystal Ignitus gave them. After they healed up, they went inside and waited for Twilight and the others. After Twilight and the other two were bandaged up, Twilight saw the two healed up. She wanted to ask how, but she was really exhausted. Finally, she showed Spyro and Cynder a room they can stay in for the night. It wasn’t big, but had a window, a desk, and a bed big enough for two.

“I’m sorry if I don’t have another bed.” Twilight said.

“Don’t worry about it, me and Cynder share a nest all the time.”  Spyro said.

Twilight smiled, said her goodnights to the dragons, and walked to her room for a goodnight sleep. After she left, Spyro and Cynder walked toward the bed and examined it. It was their first time seeing a bed with their eyes. It was big, yet soft at the same time. When Cynder jumped on the bed and lied down to expect it, she immediately fell asleep due to the softness and cushiness of the mattress. Spyro smiled and slowly got onto the bed. He lied down next to Cynder and nuzzled her. Sleep took hold of Spyro as his eyes slowly began to shut.

“Sweet dreams Cynder.” He whispered as he slowly fell asleep.  

To be continued…
