The Elemental Blade: Chapter 4
Chapter 4
Link woke early the next morning. He yawned and stretched his stiff muscles. Looking over to where Spyro and Cynder were, finding them still asleep, he got up to look for breakfast. Going over to the stream that they camped next to, Link pulled out his fishing pole from one of his bottomless pouches on his belt. After an hour, he caught enough fish for all three of them. As he headed back to their camp site, both Spyro and Cynder started to wake up. "Morning!" Link cried out.
Both of them yawned showing their sharp teeth, "Morning," Spyro said sleepily.
"Got breakfast," said Link showing them the fish, "raw or cooked?"
"Raw," both said at once.
Link tossed some fish to them and began cooking his. "So, where are you two headed?"
"Warfang," Cynder said as she swallowed a bite of fish, "we need to regroup with the others and..." Cynder stopped short.
"And what?" Link asked wanting Cynder to continue.
Spyro stopped eating, "It's nothing." He got up and walked over to the stream and sat down.
"Did I say something wrong?"
"No," Cynder sighed, "It's about Ignitus. He died trying to help up in the battle to defeat the Dark Master. He was a father figure to him." Cynder held back tears that came, "he was mine too."
Link didn't know what to say, only, "I'm sorry."
They sat in silence for a few minutes. Then Link broke the silence, "I'll be right back." Cynder nodded and watched Link walk next to Spyro.
Link sat next to Spyro who was flicking pebbles into the stream. Neither one of them spoke for a minute or two until Link broke the silence, "I heard what happened and I'm sorry."
Spyro stopped flicking pebbles, "Every once in a while I have a hard time to accept the fact that Ignitus is gone. And for that, I'm sorry for the out burst back there."
"It's okay," putting a hand on Spyros' shoulder, "I understand. Now, how about we get back to Cynder she must be waiting."
Spyro gave a smile, "Yeah, lets go."
When they came to their camp site, Cynder asked if Spyro was alright. He nodded, "Lets finish our meal then we should get going."
When they finished, Link asked, "Were to again?"
"Warfang."
Both were about to take off when Link cleared his throat. They looked back at him. "Uhmm, how am I going to travel? If you haven't noticed, I don't have wings." Link simulated by flapping his arms. Cynder and Spyro laughed.
They all tried to think of something. Then Spyro got an idea. "What if I were to carry you?"
"What?" both link and Cynder said at once.
"You grab onto my arms and I'll grab onto yours."
Cynder finally nodded, "That sounds better, and I thought you meant carrying Link on your back."
Link looked at Spyro questionably, "Are you sure, I don't think-"
"I look stronger than I appear," Spyro said cutting him off.
"Alright, if you insist."
Spyro hovered above Links' head with his arms reaching down. Link held up his arms and linked them with Spyros'. Getting a firm grip, Spyro asked if he was ready. With a nod they took off in the direction of Warfang.
