Night of memories

Night of memories


They both gazed upon the stars, looking if they could find constellations what would remind of someone or something. Adalon, deep green earthdragon with brown strongly backwards curved horns and one smaller set of straight horns just under the first one. Her underbelly where lightbrown and like all other earthdragons around, she had strong figure. she leaned to wall behind her and partially laid on her back and Amethyst, Dark purple dragon with one set of white horns that pointed directly backward and two small sets back of his jaw. He had golden eyes and yellow crests leading from his forehead to his tail and he had yellow underbelly and his wings where yellow alike. He placed himself against her soft chest  so he could continue to gaze upon the stars while listening her steady and calm hearth. This position where a bit awkward to her since her legs where unsupported and she had to twist her tail under her so it would be a bit more conformable but other than that, she didn't mind.

“Its good to have you here. No one else really ever had actually tried to be even friendly to me, besides of Spyro and Cynder, and rest of the gang of course. But...” Amethyst spoke out and sighed.

“Hmh... They don't know what they have lost when they turned you down, but I know you better. You're the sweetest, most gorgeous dragon and you are most true in hearth I've never came across with.” Adalon answered and began to pet his head and snout softly with her gorgeous pawn and placed another on his chest.

“About that...” Amethyst trailed off and looked her to her eyes but she just shook her head gently.

“Shhh...” She said softly and continued to stroke him. Amethyst decided that perhaps it is better to tell the truth later and he returned his eyes on stars. They both shared the romantic moment and cherished every second of it, hoping that could be there forever. Comfort from being near her, listening her lullaby hearth and feeling her gentle pawn stroking his cheek  soon made him sleepy and his eyelids began dropping. After few futile attempt trying to keep himself awake he gave up and drifted into lands of sleep. Adalon sighed happily when he felt him becoming relaxed and noticing his eyes had closed. She twisted her wings from behind her and laid them on top of him to keep him warm even thought nigh wasn't really that cold and kept petting him. She didn't feel sleepy at all but she had nothing else in her mind what she should do but just enjoy his presence and feeling his warm scales against hers.



She began thinking her own past, several months back and how her former 'boyfriend'; the very word describing him sickened her more than anything else; abused her. He told he loved him and she went and believed him and thought she loved him back. Several weeks they hanged with each other and when the first kiss came it felt so special. Now she would give almost anything to forget that memory that made her feel pain inside her being. And the first time they mated... she just shuddered from the memory and tried to push it aside quickly before she felt most sickening feeling ever possible but it got only replaced by another memory what she also wanted to get rid of.. When she discovered she was nothing but matingtool for him. She remembered how one what should have been love her and only her hanging with another, older wind dragoness who had already got her more curvy outlook, sexier like few would say to add up already the curvy body what wind dragons naturally had, and he where making out with her. Her hearth where broken in a instant but being strong in nature she ran on to them and pushed them apart from each other and demanded to know what the hell he was doing. For Adalon's  surprise he looked at least to say annoyed and said coldly that he was “having fun with my loved one“.  Adalon yelled that he said he loved her, not the older dragoness but only received chuckling back from him. He said he needed the 'experience' so he could hang around with more mature company and since she was inexperienced and lone dragoness since she wasn't exactly the most beautiful dragoness around in concept of dragons so she where a “easy target“. Her already crushed hearth literally fell apart  into thousands of pieces from his sentence and her eyes where filled with uncountable tears. She slashed him with all her might with her exposed claws and hit him to his cheek and left three deep, bleeding wounds.

Before he recovered from hit or his dragoness from chock she turned around and ran, ran faster that she ever had before into the forest and cried violently all the long way to the very small cave she had claimed for her own. She curled herself on cold stone and sobbed, tears flooding via her cheeks on ground. Cursing Him from about anything her mind came across in that fragile moment and cursed herself of being so stupid and blind. Adalon cried in  few days inside her little cave, never coming even out during that time, nor anyone bothering to search for her. She sobbed from morning till night and fell asleep while sobbing only to awake next morning to cry some more. It didn't took long before her body suffered from dehydration and therefore she where unable to release more tears but she sobbed nevertheless even if her throat where so dry she felt it burning and she didn't come out till next day.

Already weakened from food and severe lack of water she finally came out from her cave, her deep green scales have turned more pale and you could see faint lines of ribs thought her chest. Still very upset about what has happened she stumbled out from her cave and barely managed to walk to nearest pond for drink. She tried to lower herself carefully on ground but her legs gave out and she fell with loud thud. She moaned briefly before she lifted her head and lowered it to drink. She spent almost half an hour just drinking slowly and carefully while painful memories still plagued her mind but unable to cry because of it anymore. After she felt like she have drunk half of the pond she finally lifted her head from cold water and curled herself for rest, allowing her body absorb the water in peace. After few hours she snapped from her sleep when some birds poked her. Not chocked by this she yawned which scared the birds off and she felt that she had more strength now, although still weak. But this is the start she thought. Knowing she didn't exactly have the energy to hunt for herself she decided to see if there where any leftovers from others' preys. Travelling from vicinity of her cave she came across several devoured animals but they where already become uneatable or there where nothing left expect  few bones.




After she where almost to lose her hope finding anything she came to clearing and far end of it she saw one large wild beast slain and dragon's tail weeping from behind it occasionally before it went behind it's prey. She first hesitated should she just go and ask could she had some or wait till whoever where eating it would leave. Few moments passed before she swallowed her pride and begun walking across the opening. Her nostrils picked up the scent of the fallen beast and while she tried not to, drool began to gather up in her mouth. Once she got close and heard someone eating a bit soundly the animal behind it. Purple tail poked out from cover before it vanished again.  Scent where overwhelming and she tried hard as she could from just jumping in and eating much as possible. Adalon swallowed excess saliva.

“Excuse me?” Adalon spoke out with rasping voice. Purple tail what once again where on sight stopped and so did the voices of eating as well. Next what she saw she would never forget. Dark purple dragon pushed his head from behind the prey and his golden eyes stared at her... First of course annoyed because his eating had been disrupted but it quickly softened when he saw what have caught his attention. He had single set of ivorywhite straight horns back of his head and two small sets of horns from end of his jaw.he had yellow crests middle of his forehead and which continued straight back of his head and along his spine all the way to tip of his tail where silver simple tailblade where. His chest and underbelly where yellow like his crests and his large wings alike. 'Oh... A male... Of course...' She thought. Still having strong memories what had happened not too long ago, males didn't have the greatest reputation in her mind. He kept staring at her and his jaw dropped, dropping small piece of meat he where eating moment before. Feeling a bit stupid Adalon where about to abandon her plans of ever asking could she have some and where just about to leave when Purple dragon finally spoke out.

“What happened to you? You look starving!” Purple dragon said worried. Adalon stopped on her tracks and glanced over him again.

“I... Could I... Oh forget it.” She said hesitating before her pride once again kicked in.

“No no no wait! Of course you can!” Purple dragon said quickly. Within a brief moment he had noticed her skinny outlook and learned that she where indeed starving and small drooldrips on her lips gave away the idea as well. And he already felt sorry for her.

“Can I?” She asked again. Keeping her eyes fixed on ground.

“Yes, of course! Knock yourself out. There is far more that I could eat up anyway.” Purple dragon replied and tried to smile. 'Knock yourself out? What that supposed to mean?' Adalon thought. She didn't notice him smiling thought and just walked slowly to opposite side of animal.

“Thanks.” She simply said before instincts overcame her mind and begun literally gobble the food. Other dragon gazed upon her while she ate a bit worried.

“You shouldn't eat so fast, you could actually kill yourself with that speed.” He said

“Why you would care?” Adalon replied a bit more coldly that she first indented.

“I'm... Sorry if I hurt your feelings but I'm just concerned about you, that's all.” Purple dragon continued. She didn't reply and kept eating, although she slowed down like he had suggested. He sighed when he didn't get any reply and continued eating from his side. Male dragon where soon to meet his limit and got up again to take better look the green dragon on other side without her knowing. Adalon kept eating few more minutes before she was alarmed that she could not hear him eating. She stopped and lifted her head to see if he where actually anywhere nearby at all but she startled when she saw him staring at her just behind the beast. Male quickly  turned his head away from her embarrassed.

“What you where looking at?” Adalon asked even if she knew perfectly what he was staring at.

“Oh... Nothing....” He replied nervously

“Pff... Males... all the same.” She said. Thought struck into male's head and turned his head again to her.

“A male dragon did that to you?” He asked, waiting for conformation to his theory.

“Yes. A male! Now if you excuse me that I don't have the greatest trust to likes of you, could you let me eat?” She snapped at him. Male frowned at her

“Males... Females... ALL OF THE DRAGONS ARE THE SAME!  I have never done anything wrong to anyone and yet everyone threats me like a outcast! Someone you can split at when you're bored! Something you can pick upon when you feel uneasy! Know this and know this well: I've NEVER seen you before and have NEVER done anything wrong to you and in fact I let you share my kill from my own free will so I could help you and this is the gratitude I get? You can have the whole thing if you want, I don't care!” Male shouted furiously and begun to walk away from her. Adalon where utterly chocked from his outburst and felt quilt how she have acted towards him. Abandoning the plans to eat she ran front of him and halting him. He frown at her but waited patiently her explain whatever that would be. Adalon lowered her head in shame.

“I'm Sorry I said earlier. It's just that... I've been through a lot lately and that male you asked about... He...” She began to sob faintly but she snapped out of it when she felt pawn on her shoulder. She gazed up with her eyes already flooded by tears and saw him a concerned and yet somehow calming look.

“It's okay, I understand. You know... I've been through a lot myself too and I shouldn't have snapped that easily. I apologize from that.” Male said. Adalon just nodded before she buried him into tight embrace and cried loudly over his shoulder. Male being chocked for second and not knowing what to do for  few more seconds he patted her gently on her pack.

“It's okay now... He can't hurt you any more. Let it all come out.” He said softly as he could. Few minutes later he noticed that she where calming down he slowly pushed himself out from her embrace and let his eyes meet hers.  




“What is your name green dragoness?” He asked. She sniffed

“Adalon.” She simply answered. Purple dragon gave a smile.

“That is beautiful name... I am...” He hesitated for a moment. “I am called Amethyst” She first suspected where that his name at all since it was hardly a name for any dragon but she didn't mind.

“Isn't that--” She where about ask but Amethyst cut out.

“Yes... it's a purple gem, I know. But it is my name nevertheless.” He said rolling his eyes slightly.

“It suits you.” Adalon answered with a faint smile. Amethyst smiled back briefly.

“Say, do you have a place to live? I don't want to intrude or anything, just curious.” He asked

“Oh... well... I live in small cave not too--” Adalon first hesitated and before she could finish her phrase Amethyst cut in again.

“Small cave? Oh that won't do. That is hardly a place for young dragoness in your condition to live.”

“Young? You are hardly anywhere near in my age young male.” Adalon replied quickly. There where no way dragon like him could be that old he could say out loud something like that.

“Oh you would be so surprised if I where tell my age.”

“How so?” She asked now interested.

“Some other time maybe. But what I was about to say that I have perfect place to you to live long as needed.” He said and began to lead her towards his destination.

“In your cave? Are you trying to hit me?” She asked. 'He is just like others males afterall.' She thought.

“Heh, it's a bit more than a cave or anything near it and no... I'm not trying to hit you either. It just leaves painful spot where ever you would hit someone.” Amethyst answered. Adalon looked upon him, not exactly knowing is he just joking around or didn't he really understand what she asked.

“No... you didn't understand what I asked. I asked you are you trying to... err... to make me to your girlfriend.” She asked and got satisfied when she saw that Amethyst stopped right onto his tracks. He turned his head nervously towards her and she smiled when she saw that he was clearly embarrassed, his cheeks has turned to lighter, almost pink in colour.

“I a... No... Oh no I'm not trying to make you to my girlfriend. Honestly.” He shuddered the words out.

“Whatever you say.” She said smiling and walked pass him.

“No no no! Honest!” Amethyst spoke out loud when he caught up with her again. He still blushed but not so badly anylonger.

“If you say so. Hmm... This a-bit-more-than-cave of yours, where is it?” She asked.

“Oh... It's just this way. Follow me.” Amethyst said, glad that she had changed the subject. They didn't travel far before Adalon got suspicious again. 'He is leading me towards Dragon temple! Caves around there are very hard to get, not to mention houses built there. Surely outcast like he said he is could not live up there now could he?' She thought puzzled.

“Amethyst?”

“Yes?”

“Where you're going?” Adalon asked.

“To this a-bit-more-than-a-cave place.” Amethyst answered with small grin.

“But is is the village up there! Do you actually live up there?” She asked even more confused

“Yes and no... Just follow me and you'll see yourself. I have few interesting friends that I'm sure you would love to meet. Minus one of course but nevertheless.” He answered and gave even bigger smile. He had totally confused her and had no intend telling more. When they came to the edge of the dragon village but Amethyst didn't walk into it like Adalon first thought but instead walking along small stoned path going around the town and leading up the hill where... 'He can't be serious!' She thought.

“Amethyst, you can't be serious, This leads to Dragon temple! It's forbidden any dragon to go there unless its urgent or requested to come!”

“Heh. But today the doors are open for you. That I guarantee to you.” Amethyst said confident.



'Oh and how right he was.' Adalon still remembers how she met the hero of dragon realms, Spyro and the one that once where under the influence of dark master, Cynder. She thought Cynder where still evil and thought it where foolish having her around but once she get to know to her Adalon's thought towards her have completely changed and now she where her best friend. She actually where terrified by the guardians when she first came across with them whitin the temple but they turned out to be very friendly and understanding. 'And that minus one.' She chuckled a bit. 'What a annoying little dragonfly Sparx can be.' She wondered how anyone could stand with his sarcastic and always complaining attitude. She lowered her gaze on sleeping dragon on her embrace. 'Who could have ever thought that Amethyst, the outcast like he had said long ago from himself actually lived in Dragon Temple? What is his story?' She wondered. 'Oh I'm sure he will tell when he feels ready for it.' She felt Amethyst moving slightly to get more comfortable whilst sleeping. Adalon smiled and kissed him to his forehead and wrapped her tail around him tightly and he responded letting out faint moan. She closed her eyes since she felt that night where becoming old and she where getting sleepy as well.

“Oh How much I love you my purple gem.” She whispered and kissed him to forehead once more before she joined to him in land of dreams.
