(Endless Wall)
"if it leads to a cliff, we'll have to go elsewhere' Tigress said, as the pair of fire masters continued burning through the snow. the water was freezing cold to the touch, and numbed anyone who soaked in it for more than a few seconds. tigress stood by Spyro, who was carving through the last of the drift to reveal another passage further in. ' By the way, Spyro pal, I won that little stairway-creating race we agreed on " She finished as spyro took in a few breaths to recuperate. ' i'll pay up later." he said , turning to look at the wolfess. 'once we get back to the ship.. Double scoops. I promise ' Spyro-W said, a grin spreading over his face. well, if you include all of us in the deal, you're looking about about 50 scoops or so. I'll wager Flash and her pals will want in on the ice cream ''Tigeress said Ember and Dulcy too' Spyro-W smirked." I know Ember LOVES cinnamon swirl.' " come on, you two' Skylands said, pointing with her tail at the opening ' Enough talking about food, you're making me hungry. Oh, and my Spyro likes those crispy things mixed in.. if you're taking requests ' she said to Spyro.'"
We'll make a list later" Cynder-W said, before turning to Ms Swimmer ' Lead the way, you've got the glow gem.' She motioned with a claw. " And speaking of gems" she tapped her compartment on her wrist and pulled out three glowing red gems' I got 6 of these aboard Chong's ship. These are called Lover's amulets. I brought 3 of them along, the other 3 are back on the ship. They protect those that you care about most. I got 6 of them, because, well, I'm lucky enough to have several persons I really care about, starting with you Spyro" she said, handing the first gem to the purple dragon. " I know red isnt your color, but this is supposed to protect the wearer from any harm. Yours is bigger than the others, and thats because you are the partner I spend the most time with." Cynder leaned in and kissed Spyro on the lips, and Spyro returned the kiss with warmth and gusto, wrapping his arms around Cynders neck. the couple broke the kiss after about a minute, and Spyro walked forward, wearing the amulet around his neck. " Thanks Cynder. This really means a lot to me. I got you something from the Phoenix too, but unfortunately I left it in the convention room. I'll give it to you once this trip is finished."
Cynder-W nodded and She went up to Tigeress next." You and I may have started out with our differences, but those are long long behind us. You've helped me through a lot over these past few weeks and months , when I needed a true friend, someone to be there and help me through personal issues and self-doubt, you were there for me. You came through, and kept my secrets when I asked you to keep them. and no, Skylands, don't ask what those are, thats between Tigress and me.' she said, and brought forth another red amulet, this one had the image of 2 hearts, intertwined. ' This one symbolizes the mutual love shared between partners. You give it to someone who has shown that they have your back, no matter what the circumstance. Those kind of folks are rare.' She gave the gem to Tigress, who looked closely at the gem.
' This is a gorgeous necklace Cynder! Wow.. I.. well. i'll get you something in turn as a thanks for this. What exactly, I'm not sure just yet. But, what about Dixie?' Tigress looked at her. ' Oh, she's getting one of these necklaces too, the reason I'm giving you guys them first is simply a matter of timing and opportunity. its not as if I have a ranking of my favored people and I'm giving these out based on who I like the most' Warfang grinned then leaned in to whisper in Tigress' ear "Just get me something I can take home to Warfang and put on my mantle." Cynder then kissed Tigress warmly on the lips, their red lips locking together. Tigers put her front paws around Cynders neck and settled into the kiss, with the girls rubbing their tongues against each other. The kiss lingered for a minute, before Cynder broke the kiss, and Tigress smirked at her. ' Nice. Now, give out your last gem, and lets get moving, girlfriend. Times A-wasting.Every minute, that planet gets closer, and this planet gets squeezed, like a grape in someones hand. Put enough pressure on it , and it will pop" she said before heading into the tunnel behind Spyro.
Agumon came up to Cynder from a side chamber , carrying in his claws more wood and tapestries to put on the fire. ' here's what I could find. Most of the chambers around here seem to be filled with snow, and its covered whatever was in those rooms with probably 20-30 feet of snow.. Its quite clear that we're the first to enter this temple in a very long time.' the fire became bigger and brighter as he tossed the materials on to it, and watched it get bigger. '
Agumon then noticed the passage made by Tyrell and Spyro ' Excellent, we got through. We must press on!" He said, headed into the opening, and leaving the two Cynders sitting together by the fire. Cynder watched the fire for a couple minutes before turning to Skylands, with the third and last of the red gems in her claws as Tigress walked down the tunnel wearing her gem.'' We both were enslaved by evil once, me by Malefor, you by the undead king. We have both overcome that, as much as possible. " " he was also named Malefor ' Skylands said. ' Not many people know that, as it's not something I like talking about.. and well, I don't have many friends because of it. You've been through it, you know how it goes. the girl who's done bad things, and whose loyalty is never certain as a result. You've made more friends than I have, and I envy you for that. This is a very nice gift, and I'm not used to getting gifts from people. Next time I head back to the Academy, I'll forage for something. It won't match this, I can tell you that, but I'll try my best. what does this gem represent?' Skylands asked " kinship' Wharfing said, pointing to the two claws that came together in a clasped grasp.' Shared experiences. good experiences, that is. Who wants to remember all the bad stuff, we've both had more than our fair share of that already. and we have in each other, a kindred spirit, someone who understands things about you, that only someone who has gone through the same things has. ' Skylands gave warfang a kiss, their lips locking warmly together. like the others, this kiss lasted for a minute. Skylands closed her eyes and felt Warfangs lips subtly nibble on hers , feeling every now and then, the soft rough tip of Warfang's tongue as it entered her mouth. Skylands broke the kiss then got up from her seat near the fire., its light reflecting off her new trinket. " Well, I enjoyed that. Lets get to the top of the mountain so we can stop this world from being destroyed ' She said and doused the fire by tossing snow on it. the two Cynders then headed down the tunnel after their teammates.
