SPYRO: DAWN OF LIGHTPart 4 CHAPTER 36 “I swear I’m gonna flay him later.” Shimmer rolled her eyes and smirked, spreading her wings and rising on some warm air over the mountain. “They were there to investigate and got cornered. Were you expecting him to just run away? Besides, Caelos is the most experienced of all of us when it comes to the ghosts.” “Hey I have experience too!” “But you weren’t there.” “Still gonna kick Flame’s ass.” In the distance, they could see the perpetual cloud layer over the Burned Lands, but instead of foreboding and black and ashy, they looked like normal angry cumulonimbus clouds forever threatening heavy rain and lightning. All the way here over the mountain chain they could already smell the sulfurous aftermath of the Ring of Fire. “So...where do you suppose we should start looking for these ‘others’ Photara mentioned?” “I’m tryna sense things out here. Not much luck right now.” “The clouds overhead aren’t as opporessive as they were last

SPYRO: DAWN OF LIGHTPart 4 CHAPTER 35 “It’s pretty out here, when things aren’t trying to zap you.” Nodding and yawning, Spyro stretched and flexed his wings, his tail lashing side to side with a few pops. “Yeah. It’s very scenic and peaceful without Gnasty’s or Ripto’s minions trashing the place or beasts going berserk or wizards going rogue.” “Or thieves taunting us.” He paused and then canted his head at her. She fought back a blush at the sudden “cuteness” of the gesture. “When did you deal with those idiots?” “Oh it’s been ages...like...four years now I guess, maybe five...back when our training was still really early and we couldn’t properly fly yet. Remember when they’d send Flame out to various spots, and the rest of us would go occasionally?” “Oh...right, when Nightshade sent Flame out to deal with Toasty and such. Yeah...wow, it’s been so long.” “Mhm. A thief out here stole a valuable focusing crystal and was running through caverns too small for the adults here

SPYRO: DAWN OF LIGHTPart 4CHAPTER 34 A loud purr rumbled in Cynder’s chest, Spyro’s paws all over her body.  “Wow you are super grimy...” he grunted, soapy paws turning up murky.  “Can’t believe I slept next to a charcoal briquette.” “It’s a nasty place.  Don’t ever go to Cennektair.” “Don’t plan to.  But how long do you think it’ll take before Red and his idiots figure out what happened?  I can’t imagine he’d just ignore all that if he was planning on experiments.” “Dunno, don’t care.  You’re forgetting my belly.” She rolled over in the water and Spyro blushed, but smiled and started scrubbing her off, Cynder giggling at the contact.  “Sounds like you did good though.” “Did ‘well’.  You’re so tired Rivyera’s grammar lessons are slipping you again.” “Dunno, don’t care,” he retorted, his girlfriend rolling her eyes.  “Alright, you’re clean.” “Didn’t tell you to stop touching me.” “That could be misconstrued very easily.” Rolling over in the water again so they were face to face

SPYRO: DAWN OF LIGHTPart 4 CHAPTER 33 “You fought that thing here?” “Yeah, duh.”  Flame cringed at the sight of the huge gouges in the soil. The whole caravan was staring in surprise, except for the crew that had investigated it prior.  They were on the defensive, looking around warily with their weapons ready.  “Ain’t natural, no way it could’ve been anything other than a Fracture Mutant.” “Could we get moving rather than gawk and rubberneck at it?  I really don’t wanna fight it again,” he replied as he scratched at his bandages again. “Kid’s got a point, get movin’.” “Sir, with all due respect, we should verify where it is so we can then be where it isn’t.” “And have it follow you back to us.  I don’t think so.  Last shipment, we’re outta here.” Cynder was getting quite tired of their arguments.  Lots of dissonance...must all be hired hands and contractors under one or two bigger orders. “Thanks for the company though,” Flame added, though Cynder could easily tell he was
