Description
The Trials of Tall Plains

The Trio flew on from the Dragon Temple and journeyed towards a tall mountainous region that rose above the lowest clouds and riddled with jungles and from what it looked like temples that seemed ancient and under siege as many Dreadwings were spotted carrying troops, supplies and cages toward separate locations.
Spyro made sure he flew through the clouds to avoid any detection from any eyes that could be patrolling the outer areas. One Dreadwing happened to spot them but Adir shot an electric blast at it stunning it and its rider having them fall out of the sky and sight not wanting to give away their position and not be rained with volleys like at Dante’s Freezer.

Soon they arrived at an entrance that had no guards around it which would be the best part to enter at. They landed close by and took a moment to regain themselves.

“If I remember what Ignitus told us about this place?” Adir said “Tall Plains was once home to a proud tribe called the Atlawa.”

“Bless you” Sparx interrupted.

“Sparx!” Spyro warned.

"The Atlawa were a people in tune with the rhythms of the seasons, focused on their relationship to crops, their surroundings, their gods. They’ve all been driven underground by Cynder and her forces, who’ve taken over the tribes Shrine. He believes that’s where Cynder is keeping Cyril, trying to power another crystal. We have to find him before she succeeds.” Adir completed.

Sparx lowered his arms “Right, it’s never easy, is it?” he groaned.

“Nothing worthwhile ever is.” Spyro said walking towards the entrance.

“So now you’re spouting wisdom, hero boy?” Sparx retorted in a teasing tone which made Spyro chuckle and Adir to roll his eyes with a smile.

“Come on.”

The Trio came up to the entrance but noticed there was a sleeping guard there. Adir quietly moved ahead taking out his blade to make the lazy guard take a permanent nap but Sparx sneezed loudly causing the Ape guard to jolt awake and dodged the blow and took off into the jungle.

Adir glared at Sparx as he gave a sheepish look. “Well so much for sneaking in quietly.” He groaned as the same guard returned with a squad of apes. Spyro and Adir easily took them on with a mix of fire, electricity and sword attacks. Moving further they accidently activated a series of ancient dart traps that narrowly avoided making it through.

They were about to move around a corner they heard a lot of commotion of growls and wings flapping. Adir took a peak around it to see a sight that shocked him. On the edge of a cliff guarding by a squad of apes with a large one stood two cages both filled with llama-like person one brown and grey, prisoners of Cynder’s army.

As Adir watched with Spyro joining in they saw a Dreadwing swoop down and grab a chain above the cage that held the brown one and carry it away.

“That has to be the Atlawa for sure.” Adir said shocked seeing the creatures imprisoned. “Seems they already have taken over this place.”

Spyro nodded as he grew a stern look. “It appears so; the enemy of my enemy is my friend.”

“Does that mean what I think it does?” Sparx groaned.

“It means we are going to set free any and all prisoners.” Adir confirmed getting ready for the fight as the squad spotted them.

“Oh brother.” Sparx sighed flying up to avoid any attacks.

Adir charged the oncoming apes as Spyro flew up and laid waste to some with his fire breath and Adir sliced down a few of the other apes with his sword. He powered past some as the apes lost ground and the large one was tossed off the cliff by an electric current from Spyro and Adir finished the last ape by kicking him into the bars of the cage that held the last prisoner shattering the bars.

“Watch it, would you!?” The Atlawa snapped.

“We were just trying to help you.” Adir said offering his hand but the llama creature would not take it.

“Well, the Atlawa and Kane need no help.”

“Oh, just about to spring into action, huh?” Spyro scowled.

“Forgot this guy.” Sparx sighed.

As Kane walked out of the cage, Adir then asked, “What did they want with you anyway?”

“That’s none of your business.” Kane brushed past him rudely and set into the jungle. “Now move it, I’ve got a tribe to save.”

“Oh, you’re welcome!” Sparx yelled at his back.

“Some people have no gratitude at all.” Adir crossed his arms shaking his head sighing.

“Either way, let’s continues on.” Spyro said which Adir nodded as both he and Sparx followed Spyro

The Trio continued on moving throughout the jungle battling more apes and traveled over bridges reaching small platforms that led to other areas over the mountains where the group encounter and battled hostile man size armadillos and Dreadwings.

The Toughest challenge that awaited them when they encounter rock golems. With their bodies encased in stone physical attacks on them were useless and didn’t faze them. Adir noticed that their limbs were attached to each other with vines and pointed to Spyro that fire would be the best option. Together their coordinated their attacks on them with
Spyro setting the vines ablaze and Adir finished them by cutting through the heated bark to sever them and fall to pieces.

After moving miles through the jungle and across platforms battling through more enemies the group came upon a field, layered on a series of cliffs. A River ran down the middle of the cliffs, with huge stationary water wheels at three waterfalls. In each field stood a large tambourine-like device on the end of a long pole, with drumsticks attached to strings on its side, and three stone buttons scattered around them while being guarded.

“We’re going to have to use the waterwheels to move ahead.” Spyro said after taking a look around and realized that would be the only way to go. Adir nodded as Sparx groaned.

“Oh it’s never easy.” He moaned.

“If it was we would never have challenges to face.” Adir said showcasing some wise words of his own getting Sparx to make a mocking face at him.

Spyro and Adir separated to each go activate a button and to face the forces that were guarding them. Adir slashed his way through a squad of small apes as Spyro was dealing with stationary turrets dodging the arrows they were shooting at him.

Adir was nearly at the button but a large ape got in his way. “Out of the way!” He yelled as the Ape stood his ground. Adir clashed swords with him as his opponent tried to gain the upper hand. Meanwhile Spyro managed to destroy the turrets and activated his button but as he turned he saw Adir was engaged with the large ape but noticed another ape was sneaking up behind him.

“Adir, look out!” He warned as the young warrior had his sword locked with ape and turned his head to see another ape raise an axe to strike him in the back. Adir dodged out of the way before it came down but the large ape took the initiative and pinned Adir with a foot on his chest.

Adir could not move for the ape’s large size combined with its strength and mass kept him from getting up. The Ape brought his sword down as Adir deflected it his since his arms were still free but the other ape seeing the enemy’s weapon locked on his allies gave him another opportunity and ran next to pinned warrior raising his axe once more to deal a fatal blow to the young Samurai.

Spyro saw this and flew fast to save his friend, and brother charging up a fire ball but before he could shoot it reinforcements showed up and got in his way. “Adir!”He called as the apes engaged him and Adir grunted trying to keep the large ape from pushing his sword down upon him but Adir watched as the other brought down the axe with great speed and Adir shut his eyes preparing for the blow that would end his life.

There was sound of a metal collision than the sound of pierced skin. He shot his eyes open to see the hilt of his sword with a blade that somehow emerged from it and prevented the axe from hitting him to both his surprise and the apes that stood above him. Adir as shocked as he was knew this was the opportunity to get out of the pin.

He pushed his now two bladed weapon up grunting as he did to build momentum and when he got them high enough he brought his legs up kicked both the apes off of him and stood up holding his weapon with both hands taking a quick moment to look it over seeing somehow his sword magically turned into a double bladed spear when he needed it as he recalled as he was pinned he needed something to deflect the blow and by either luck or quick thinking it happened.

Adir let a confident and wicked smile grow on his face realizing that his weapon now more than just a simple sword. “You guys are in so much trouble.” Adir twirled his weapon in circles around and over his body showing off the apes his weapons new potential. Surprised as they were the apes reengaged the Samurai who quickly took care of the smaller one and remembering a trick from a movie he watched Adir planted one end of the spear in the ground twirled his body around it avoiding the large ape and collided both of his feet against him knocking the ape to the ground where Adir finished him off planting the spear deep through his body.

Spyro managed to finish off the rest of the reinforcements and hurried over to Adir. “Adir, are you alright?” He asked looking him over to make sure he was not injured. Adir looked at him with smile standing with one foot on the dead ape bringing out his spear from the carcass twirling it in the air triumphantly.

“Whoa! When can your sword do that?” Sparx asked surprised along with Spyro.

Adir laughed “I have no idea but I’ll say I’m glad it did for if it didn’t do that I would have been six feet under.” Adir thought on how it would be a sword again but then a quick glow showed off the second blade of the weapon and disappeared leaving the trio in awe.

“It must actually react when I thought of to get it to be a sword again.” Adir said very perplexed at the phenomenon. Spyro and Sparx shared equally questioned glances for this was a unique wonder.

“Perhaps we can ask Ignitus about it after we rescues Cyril.” Spyro suggested that snapped Adir back into reality.

“Your right, Spyro. We can but first let’s continue we came here to do.” Adir agreed putting his sword away till it would be needed again still pondering at how his sword would become a double bladed spear then become a sword again within a flash when only thinking of it? But he would get his answers later and right now make use of his weapons new ability.

The Trio activated the remaining buttons and the waterwheels stared to work and the group used them to climb to next level and the other two. They went through a small building on the top of the cliff and once they went through it they looked see they were overlooking a small clearing with a large water fall to their left and a river below them that went over the edge.

Suddenly they heard a lot of stomping noise’s and looked up to see at the edge of the waterfall was the Atlawa chief surrounded by rock golems as he was stepping back not noticing he was at the edge of the waterfall.

“Kane!” The Trio cried out

Kane turned to look around, lost his foot, and with cry he fell into the river below. Kane was completely stunned and he was nearing the edge of the cliff. Adir and the others watch as the Chief got closer each second.

“He’s going to fall!” Adir gasped.

“Yeah, I know the guys an ingrate,” Sparx agreed “But you gotta do something, and fast!”
Spyro and Adir jumped forward to try and safe their ungrateful ally as Spyro opened his mouth and Adir held his arm out… and both shot a stream of ice at the edge of the cliff making a frozen barrier that saved Kane from falling over as he sat up startled by the sight but picked himself up and jumped out of sight without once again thanking his saviors as Spyro and Adir were too shocked at what they just did to notice.

“Buddies, you’re getting weirder and weirder by the second.” Sparx said amazed by what they done as Adir and Spyro nodded in agreement.

“First my weapon has a new trick and now I just shot ice!” Adir was in no doubt amazed himself. Despite yet another phenomenon the group continued on.

“Guess some people are just too stubborn just too at least say thank you.” Adir pointed out since they never got even an appreciative glace from Kane before he disappeared again.

“Either way, we must continue to try and find the shrine.” Spyro replied.
The Journey continued on as they encountered more apes, golems, armadillos, and Dreadwings. Spyro made use of the new ice breath power along with Adir who continued to make use of his swords ability to change into a spear at will and dispatched their foes with ease.

Soon they came upon a new area of cliffs with Kane there as well dealing with some apes knocking them over and turned to see the trio once again.

“You again?” he scowled “Why don’t you get out of here and leave me in peace. I’m the boss here…nobody else.”

“Boss of what?” Sparx scoffed only to have Adir’s finger put to his lips.

“Quiet.” He said.

“You’re all alone?” Spyro asked

“Only until I kicked these bums out.” Kane replied “Whi8ch reminds me, I can’t stand here chatting with purple dragons, armor clad skinnies and mosquitoes…”

“Hey, who are you calling a mosquito?” Sparx cried out as Adir folding his arms not impressed by Kane’s remark of him either.

“Besides,” Kane continued “It’s not safe for you here.”

“Oh we save his sorry hide twice, but now he is concerned for us?” Adir retorted quietly to his friends so Kane wouldn’t hear as Sparx nodded in agreement.

“No need,” Spyro said “We can take care of ourselves. Anyway, we need to get to the shrine.”

“You will never make it!” Kane called out knocking another ape off the side heading for the nearby cliffs.

“Oh yeah? Just watch us!” Adir yelled back as the Chief was really starting to get on his nerves so tired of his stubbornness and ungrateful for all they are doing for him.
More Apes came down and attack the team but they easily dispatched the lot and hurried towards where the Atlawa Chief Kane went and climbed to the side of the cliff to see him standing by a large stone door.

“The Shrine God has not been appeased since Cynder’s forces came.” He told the group. “He is NOT happy.”

“So, is anyone fun around here?” Sparx sighed

“You can’t possibly face the God of the Shrine alone.” Kane growled as he bashed the door three times for it to open.

“Not all of us are loners, Kane.” Spyro pointed out looking at Adir who gave a sly grin at the Chief. “I’m not going alone.”

“He’s got that right, Kane.” Adir agreed as they walked past him

“Maybe someday you’ll learn that two or more heads are better than one.” Spyro said.

“Even if ones a little pinhead.” Adir added

“Yeah,” Sparx called but then realized what Adir said. “Wait, what?”

Spyro and Adir chuckled as looked head to see a large ship floating above the clouds. The Ship was being loaded with supplies, weapons and worst of all prisoners that were being loading onto the ship by Dreadwings and each prisoner was being led below deck.

“I guess that’s where go to next.” Adir pointed out and Spyro agreed. They rushed towards the ship with Kane following them. They remained hidden until the last of the Dreadwings flew away and many apes were all over the deck.

“This ship must be transporting supplies and materials and possibly the prisoners to the shrine itself since that’s where it seems everything is pointed around there.” Adir suggested.

Kane remembered seeing the same ship before right before he was captured as the shrine was the first place to fall and then Cynder and her forces quickly took over the rest of Tall Plains and the very ship they were looking at was the one they used for transporting anything of importance.

“Your judgment is well placed.” Kane agreed even though he hated to admit it.
Adir suppressed a chuckle for finally the Chief was starting to at least agree with them on something and he wasn’t not being harsh either.

“Not sure I like the look of this.” Spyro said with concern.

“Oh, now you tell us.” Sparx sighed.
The Ship looked like it was starting to move towards the other side towards the shrine.

“Come on, it’s now or never.” Adir yelled as he ran towards the deck and jumped onto it with Spyro and Kane following suite with Sparx flying close by. The Apes all turned to the group growling at them as Adir pulled out his sword. “Well, who’s first?”

The Apes from small to large engaged the group of Kane, Spyro and Adir. The Atlawa chief used a hard piece of bamboo and knocked many apes to the side. Spyro took to the air and provided air support raining down fire balls and electric streaks and Adir fought using a mix of sword and spear weapon skill and even used his new ice power to freeze a large ape kicked it hard it enough to shatter.

He looked over to a doorway at the stern of the ship where he remembered seeing the prisoners and some equipment were taken in through. “You both stay up here and I’ll go free the prisoners!” He called to his allies who each nodded at him as they kept the fight going with the apes that kept coming from the other side of the ship.

Adir hurried through the door and headed down a stairwell to the lower deck to find dozens of Atlawa either chained to walls on both sides of the lower deck or some in cages being guarded by a handful of apes that eyed the intruder and slowly walked towards him ready to cast out their uninvited guest.

“Pardon me, but these Atlawa people are now facing early parole and I advise you all to stand down and release them.” Adir said and his demand was met with angry growls as the guards charged him.

“So much for being nice about it.” Adir sighed and defended himself against the guards knocking one ape through a window and punching one to the floor where an Atlawa grabbed hold of him and choked him out and grabbed the keys that he was holding and undid his restraints on his leg.

Adir hacked through the remaining guards cutting them down easily but he was so focused on the front that he didn’t realize one ape he knocked down but didn’t deliver a fatal blow shook himself then stood back up and ran towards Adir ready to get payback.

The Samurai ran through the last guard killing him but then he heard an angry yell turning around to see the last ape lunge at him. Adir didn’t have time to react as he was too close but the Atlawa that freed himself grabbed the ape before he landed on Adir and threw him hard on the ground then grabbed a nearby sword and finished it.

“Thank you.” Adir said to the Atlawa who then gave him smile.

“No, it’s us who should be thanking you.” The Atlawa replied. “We don’t know who or what you are but we owe you our lives.”

Adir smiled back but then a loud boom could be heard from the top of the deck which could only have the exploding of a bomb. Adir got worried that his friends were in trouble. “Sir, can you release the rest of the prisoners? I need to get topside and help.” The Atlawa nodded to him and Adir quickly left lower deck leaving the Atlawa to free his kin.

Once Adir got topside he watched as Dreadwings all around were either dropping explosives onto the deck or engaging the Dragon and Atlawa Chief. Spyro did what could to keep the Dreadwings from dropping more bombs as he circled around the ship taking out as many as he could as Kane engaged two Dreadwings that landed on the deck to attack him.

Adir charged at one of the Dreadwings getting its attention from Kane. The Atlawa Chief maintained himself as the Dreadwing kept swiping its wings at him trying to knock him down but Kane kept dodging and swiping at his attacker but then the Dreadwing let out a screeching roar that pushed Kane to the side of the deck where then the Dreadwing charged him knocking him through the rail. Before he could fall Kane managed to grab the side of the deck as he looked to see the bamboo stick he had as a weapon fall through the clouds out of site.

Adir took down the Dreadwing he was engaging but jumping onto it and putting one end of his spear into its head killing it just then to see Kane get knocked over the edge.

“No!” Adir hopped down and let out a loud battle cry charging the Dreadwing before it could knock the hanging Kane off the ledge and with that Adir charged up a large ball of fire within him and unleashed a powerful wave of flame that incinerated every enemy that was left on the deck including the Dreadwing which let out a dying cry before the flames consumed it.

Adir took a moment to catch his breath and looked to see Spyro either destroy the rest of the Dreadwings and all the other ones that still were alive retreated. The Dragon swopped under Kane to give him something to stand on while Adir helped the Chief back onto the deck.

“That’s three you owe us.” Adir smiled along with Spyro landing beside him.

Kane sighed hardly taking in the fact that these strangers to his land and people have been doing what he didn’t believe that no one but him could be doing and he now owes them his very life in more ways than one. Just then the rest of the Atlawa that were prisoners emerged below deck and happily greeted their Chief and saviors.

While Spyro and Adir were being giving thanks by the former prisoners the Ship came to a halt as they reached the other side to where the Shrine was supposed to be seeing a large temple entrance Spyro, Adir and Sparx disembarked the ship while Kane remained behind to tend to his people.

The Trio entered through an entrance passing through the ruins of the once great temple and encountered more Armadillos and Rock Golems but Spyro and Adir dispatched them moving through until they came upon a clearing with a large wooden bridge crossing over to a large island and Kane himself was waiting for them by the bridge.

“Well I have to admit.” The Atlawa Chief muttered. “You’ve all done better than I thought possible.”

“Saying that had to hurt.” Sparx chuckled along with Adir so glad that Kane finally has changed his mind completely of them.

“More than you can imagine.” Kane admitted. “There are some things you should know about the shrine before you enter…”

At that moment large black, winged figure emerged from the island and let out a screeching roar and took to the sky carrying a blue orb in its claws.
The Group stared at the figure leaving their sights Adir having mixed emotions seeing that black dragon again close up sent both anger and terror in his heart.

“And I think we are done here.” Sparx decided.

“Not before we rescue, Cyril.” Spyro reminded him.
Kane lowered his head sadly “The Atlawa shrine has been desecrated and the god of the shrine has not been given tribute since Cynder’s forces arrived.” But then he looked up at them with hope. “But if you can subdue his anger, the balance will be returned…and my people can come home.”

“That’s fine, but we came to free Cyril.” Spyro said.

“You must go through the god of the shrine to free him.” Kane replied warning them.

“Knew you were going to say that.” Sparx pointed out groaning at yet another dreadful encounter was on the way for them.

The Trio took steady steps across the bridge allowing themselves to regain any strength they may have lost for the battle that was just ahead was no doubt going to be fierce and they were going to have to do what it takes to free the Ice Guardian Cyril.

Once they made it across the bridge they carefully climbed the massive steps till they reached the top and looked down to see an arena filled with some broken pillars and other brick work lying around with a giant boulder in the middle. Behind the boulder all the way in the back laying chained to a metal laying unconscious was an Icy Blue Dragon with light purple horns on his head and light purple wings.

“That must be, Cyril.” Adir pointed out getting his sword ready.

“Careful remember last time.” Spyro warned moving cautiously down the steps to the arena as Adir followed and Sparx flew in front of them.

“I know, I know but Cynder left and I don’t see any Ice Kings hanging around this place.” Sparx tried to assure them but suddenly they heard stones moving. Spyro and Adir looked ahead in alert seeing the boulder in the middle of the arena was moving but only it was not a boulder at all.

Part of the top of it fall to the ground and fingers twitched from it showing it was an arm. The Arm moved to the side revealing a large face and another arm as the figure pulled itself from the ground revealing a pair of legs showing it was a Rock Golem. But unlike the others the trio encountered this one was three times bigger and when it eyed the intruders in the arena it pounded its massive stone chest and let out an earth shattering roar.

“When will I learn?” Sparx groaned. “When things look good, run for the hills.”

“Spyro, I think this is the God of the Shrine.” Adir said nervously as the massive stone god approached them with great anger sending a shockwave with each step.

“I agree, Adir.” Spyro replied as the Stone God raised its leg behind and tried to kick the duo as they dodged to the each side to avoid the attack.

“Spyro!” Adir called as the Massive Sentinel turned to him and its arm extended out fast and knocked Adir straight into the wall of the Arena as Adir collided hard. Spyro shocked on the attack on him shot a fire ball at it making it roar in pain and turned to Spyro to attack him next.

Adir felt like he had the wind knocked out of him falling down on the ground trying to stand up but he was hurt as the punch from the Sentinel was hard, groaning as he managed to fight through the pain and stand back up.

The Samurai did a quick thought on how were they going to beat this thing. He watched as Spyro dodged the attacks keeping just out o the Sentinel god’s reach and shot a fire ball at it whenever he got the chance only to slightly stun it for a moment only for it to continue its attack on the dragon.

Suddenly Adir got an idea. If he could distract it somehow long enough Spyro could unleash a fury of fire on it since that was the weakness of the other golems they faced before. Adir willed his sword to turn into a spear and using his electricity power he charged up his spear making it cackle from the surge of electric currents going through it as lighting sparked off it.

“Hey Boulder Breath!” Adir called shooting a fire ball at its back gaining its attention again as it turned and walked toward him enraged as Adir got his spear ready. “I got a shock for you!” Adir raised his spear high and leaned back taking steady aim waiting for the right moment as the Sentinel drew closer. Once he got close enough Adir threw his charged weapon with precise aim hitting the Golem God straight in one of its eyes.

The Sentinel roared in pain as sparks fizzled all over the stone body as it tried to pull the spear out of its eye but its fingers were too big to grab hold of it. “Now Spyro! Unleash your fury!” Adir yelled falling to his knees.

Spyro took the initiative at what Adir said to do and flew in front of the raging figure and powered his body up with flames building around him and then bursting out across part of the arena setting a blaze to every exposed vine on the Stone Sentinel instantly disintegrating them and Sentinel fell to ground in pieces as it let out one last roar that echoed across Tall Plains for the last time and so ended the God of the Shrine.

Spyro landed on ground and took a moment to catch his breath from his fury attack. He smiled seeing the former god lying lifeless and in pieces on ground and turned to see Adir holding onto his chest in pain but he smiled as well.

“Adir, are you okay?” Spyro ran over to him concerned over his obvious wound.

Adir groaned in pain but gave him a reassuring look. “I’m going to be very sore for awhile, but I’ll be alright. Great job Spyro. You did it!”

“No, we did it.” Spyro laughed and Adir did as well as he walked up to head of the deceased sentinel pulling his spear from its eye and held it up triumphantly taking in their victory with pride. After the brief silent celebration Adir transformed his spear back into a sword and sheathed it and they went over to Cyril who just awoke to find Adir and Spyro walk towards him as the Atlawa and Kane emerged from above the arena and came down to see the ones who have place their land back into balance and saved them all from Cynder.

The Arena was then filled with worshiping prayers and blessings as all the Atlawa were bowing and praying for the ones that brought them from Evil and Kane approached them with a very happy smile.

Cyril stood up and looked to see both Spyro and Adir look at him along with Sparx as Kane come upon them.

“You have subdued the God of the Shrine, restored balance to seasons, the land, and our world.” Kane praised “The Atlawa’s want to worship you all now.”

Adir gasped and laughed not able to believe such a thing but looking at all the Atlawa’s bowing and praising them as they were, Kane was not lying at all.

“Worship? All right!” Sparx cheered. “I’ve never gotten the respect I deserve, the Praise that should be mine.”

Adir was very flattered along with Spyro who laughed for a moment. “That’s very nice, Kane, but we have to get back to our home.” Spyro said with modesty. “Figure out how to stop Cynder for good.”

“My dear Atlawa’s, I am the mighty Sparx, scourge of the despots…”Sparx raised his hands up and acted like a god to be worshiped

“Yes, yes, old boy,” Cyril interrupted with a hint of sarcasm “ we’d like nothing more than to stay and be a part of your primitive, barbaric society, but duty calls, duty calls.”

Kane understood. “If you must, you must. But know that you all are now part of the Atlawa tribe…one of us.”

“Thanks, Kane.” Adir said with nod but groaned as his sore chest was being a burden to him as Cyril took notice.

“There, There young chap. Allow me to be of assistance.” Cyril offered gently grabbing hold of Adir so he would not have to walk since he needed some rest to allow his soreness to go away.

“Thank you, Cyril.” Adir smiled and looked at Spyro assuring he will be fine as Cyril carried him in a gentle hold and the group started to walk with Kane following.

“I am the mighty spa…”

“Enough, Sparx!” Adir said irritated by his lack of modesty and his self praise annoyance.
As they walked Kane had another thing to admit. “By the way you were right.” Kane said to Spyro.

“About what?” Spyro asked.

“Maybe two or more heads are better than one.” Kane said. “Even if one belongs to an annoying mosquito.”

“Mosquito, me? Is that…oh.” Sparx groaned and the rest the group shared one more laugh before the Dragons took to the sky with Adir in hold and Sparx close by back to the Dragon Temple.
