Three days later, in the little field with the large Dragon head at the other end, with the warm sun beating down on them, Spyro and Cyra are seen training with the dummies once again.

“Whoa! Nice one there!” Spyro said to Cyra, as she swiped it with her horns twice, jumped up to the side and breathed fire on it. While she was still in mid-air, she then rammed her horns straight into the next one and breathed fire on the one behind it and before she new it, all the dummies were but ash and limbs.

“Yeah! Brilliant, Cyra!” Spyro said cheerfully as he walked up to her “Right, I think that’s probably it for the combat stuff. I don’t think I’ve ever met a quicker learner than you” Spyro added

“Thanks” Cyra said whilst catching her breath, “Wow. I’m starving.” Cyra added

“Yeah, me too” Spyro said, “I’m just gonna get some lunch. You coming?” Spyro asked

“Yeah ok” Cyra replied and the two walk together out the little field and disappear through the portal into Stone Hill.

A little later on, Spyro and Cyra had just had their lunch and are seen on top of a little tower in a large, open, grassy field.

“So, then. Now that we’ve done all the combat stuff I know, I think it’s high time I started to teach you how to glide.” Spyro started

“Cool.” Cyra replied

“Ok. First of all, to glide straight, you spread your wings out like this, parallel to the ground” Spyro started off as he spread his wings out to show Cyra, “Also to have just a normal straight glide, you have to keep your balance out your body weight so that it’s fairly even throughout” Spyro explained, “Watch” Spyro added. Spyro then spread out his wings, launched himself into the air and glided down to the field.

“Ok. Now you try.” Spyro said

“Right. Ok…” Cyra said to herself

Cyra then stood at the edge of the tower psyching herself up. She then spread out her wings, making sure that they were parallel and she then launched herself into the air. As she did this, she immediately felt a cushion of air holding her up, just under her wings and she felt the cool, refreshing air rush over her body at the same time. However, as she got close to the ground, she began to lose control over her weight balance and she fell right on top of Spyro. As their eyes met for a moment, Cyra then blushed brightly and quickly got up off Spyro.

“Sorry…” Cyra said quickly as she recovered

“That’s ok” Spyro reassured, “You know you were actually doing pretty well until that last blip. You just need to sort out some weight issues and you’ll be fine.” Spyro added

“Weight issues!?” Cyra frowned

“What? Oh! Sorry! I didn’t mean it like that. I meant the balance of your weight when you were gliding needed to be more even. That’s all” Spyro explained quickly

“Oh! Right. I wondered. I thought you were trying to say I was fat like” Cyra laughed

“No! No! Nothing like that! Jeez! I wouldn’t say something like that to ya!” Spyro laughed, “Anyway, C’mon we’ll try that again,” Spyro added as he an Cyra went back up to the top of the tower. “Ok. This time I’m going to glide with you so I can talk you through it when you gliding. Ok?” Spyro said

“Yeah. Ok.” Cyra replied

Spyro and Cyra then walked to the edge of the tower again and they spread out their wings.

“Ready?” Asked Spyro

“Yup!” Cyra replied

“Ok! Let’s go!” Spyro yelled and Spyro and Cyra leapt up into the air and began to glide

“Ok. You need to just level out your weight just a tad. Just try and raise your head just a little…That’s it…also try and spread your fore legs out a bit more so it’s easier to land…yeah, that’s perfect just keep that body position and you should be fine.” Spyro said as he corrected Cyra.

Spyro and Cyra then began to get close to the ground but following Spyro’s instructions, Cyra tried her best to keep the same body position and this time, Cyra managed to land neatly on all fours.

“Oh! Yeah!” Cyra yelled as she raised herself on her hind legs in delight

“Wa-hey! Nice one!” Spyro cheered, “That was great! Right now what I want you to do is do the same again but I want you to try it on your own this time. You think you could do that?” Spyro added

“I’ll try” Cyra replied

Cyra then went back up to the tower and readied herself for the glide.

“Ok! Just whenever you’re ready!” Spyro called up to Cyra

Cyra then spread out her wings and launched herself into the air. Cyra then felt that cushion of air under her wings and remembering what Spyro told her, she maintained the body position and again managed land neatly on the ground.

“Yeah! That was brilliant! Nice one!” Spyro cheered, clearly please with Cyra’s glide.

“Ha, Ha! Whoo!” Cyra yelled as she hugged Spyro in delight.

“Well, I’d say a couple more days of this and you’ll be a pro!” Spyro said

“Hm…so what’re we gonna do now...” Cyra asked

“Dunno, I’d say we should just call it a day and tomorrow we’re just gonna practise some more gliding and I’m gonna show you how to add a couple of manoeuvres.” Spyro replied
“Cool! Can’t wait.” Cyra replied and she and Spyro exchange smiles.

Later in the evening, Cyra is seen bathing in a little lake of water, letting her mind wander. Spyro then came up to her and lay down on the bank.

“Hey, Cyra. Ok?” Spyro asked

“Hey, Spyro. Yeah, I’m fine, just taking a little bath.” Cyra replied, “Want to join me?” Cyra asked

“Me? Nah, I’m fine” Spyro replied

“You sure? The sun’s warmed it up a little.” Cyra said, “Come on Spyro” Cyra added

“Hm…Oh, All right. If you insist,” Spyro laughed. Spyro then dived in beside Cyra and wiped the water from his eyes.

Spyro and Cyra then settled themselves beside the lake bank, with them cuddling into each other.

“Spyro?” Cyra said, whilst resting her head on Spyro’s shoulder

“Hm?” Spyro replied, who had his arm around her back

“I…I want to…um… thank you…” Cyra replied as she turned around to face Spyro

“Hm? For what?” Spyro questioned her

“For everything. I mean, I never really thanked you properly for what you’ve done and no one’s ever cared for me like you have before. So… thank you…” Cyra replied, who rested her paws on Spyro’s shoulders

“Sure” Spyro replied back with a smile

Cyra then edged forward slightly and she kissed Spyro on the lips. When Cyra pulled back, she then noticed Spyro’s bewildered expression and realised what she had just done.

“Spyro…I’m sorry…I wasn’t thinking straight…” Cyra said quickly as she looked away

“Hey. It’s ok…” Spyro replied quickly, he then stroked her chin gently with his claw and their eyes met “It’s ok.” Spyro reassured her with a warm smile

Cyra then smiled back,
“Oh, I love you…so much…” Cyra said, whilst blushing brightly

“I love you too.” Spyro replied, who was blushing too

Cyra then closed her eyes and she felt Spyro’s lips press against her own. When they pulled back, they smiled brightly, their arms slid into an embrace and they kissed again whilst the sun sank into the horizon…
