~Chapter 9: The Long Lost Father~

"...Spyro, I am your father."

"You're my fa-father?" Spyro said shocked at the sudden news, "Did I just hear you right? You're my father?!"

The wind guardian, Aviarus, smiled, "That's right, Spyro," He said. Spyro wanted nothing more than  to get up and hug his father. The only thing stopping him was the action of getting up, "But like what I said before," Aviarus continued, "Are you willing to give up on the one you love?"

"Of course I'm not," Spyro said, a little unconvincingly, "But I'm not the one giving up. My body is. I can barely even move."

"It's because you've been going with out sustenance for too long," Aviarus said, "Come to the temple so you can rest and get something to eat."

"No," Spyro protested, "I won't leave until I find the key."

"What good are you at looking for something if you can't even move to look?" Aviarus countered, "By trying to save a life, you're throwing away your own. If it were a situation where you were protecting her from an attack, that's one thing. But this is a situation where if you die, she dies."

Spyro really didn't want to stop looking, especially considering how far he's gone. But he knew that his father was right. So he admitted that he had to rest. However, he wouldn't be able to follow Aviarus back to the temple in his condition. So Aviarus was willing to carry him.

By the time they returned to the temple, Spyro was already asleep. Aviarus was greeted at the door by the water guardian, Latis. Spyro was brought to one of the guest rooms and was layed down on the bed.

The next morning, Spyro woke up. His body was still weak from not having any nourishment, but now he was at least able to get up and walk on his own again. When he made it down to the mess hall and had breakfast, the other guardians came to let him know that he wasn't the only visitor that they had.

"Spyro, I think there's someone here that's you should see," Latis said.

"More like three someones," The wyvern, Kore, said, "You were apparently followed when you came here."

"They were in the same condition that you were in when you came here," Levis, the light guardian said as they lead Spyro to the room that the others were in.

"However, they weren't so quick to turn down our offer to rest like you were," Latis finished.

"Well, they wouldn't have had a reason to turn you down like I did," Spyro said, "I mean, it's not like they..." Spyro looked into the room and gasped just before falling silent at who he saw asleep on the beds.
