Chapter 1: A Strange Discovery
"Man, this is just such convenient timing to get called by the elder guardians to investigate this new kind of tree," Spyro grumbled to himself. "And I thought today was gonna be a day for me to relax."
Spyro walked through the forest looking for this new tree that's been sprouting all throughout Avalar. Luckily, the elder guardians were able to warn the other creatures off from eating of its fruit before anything damaging could happen. Spyro felt the sun shining through the leaves and onto his scales causing them to shine and warm up, feeling the comfort of the grass under his paws, and the scent of the wildlife filling his nostrils. He looked up towards the sky, seeing how beautiful the trees look with the sun shining through their leaves.
"Then again, it's always nice to have a nice stroll through the woods," Spyro said, taking in all the scenery.
Eventually, after a couple 10s of minutes, he finally found the tree.
"Huh, I've never seen this kind of tree before. So, this must be it," Spyro inquired.
The tree was very unique. The trunk seemed to have a circular shape, the bark was a dark shade of cyan, the branches looked very bulky, and the leaves were as blue as the sky. But the thing that caught Spyro's eye, was the fruit that was sprouting from underneath the branches. The fruit looked very round and plump, with a deep shade of indigo with a blue polka-dot pattern that seemed to be different from each one. The fruit itself seemed to be slowly growing in size and once they got big enough, they fell from the branches and onto the ground where some of them broke apart, spilling out the purple juice from within. Spyro was fascinated by this fruit and decided to take one to try it out. He know that the guardians warned him about being careful around the fruit as they don't know what could happen if he ate it, but his curiosity and arrogance soon got the best of him.
"Eh, whatever happens to me, I'm sure I can take it," Spyro said.
Spyro opened his wings and started flapping them, hovering towards one of the bigger fruits. He could see that the stem was starting to break, and as the fruit was about to fall, he swooped down and grabbed onto it with his paws, digging his claws into it, holding it tightly. It was pretty heavy, due to the copious amount of juice inside of it, and the outside shell felt hard like an egg, while the inside felt squishy. Once Spyro landed on the ground, he used his one claw to slice through the top of the fruit and opened it up revealing the juice inside. He could see the rays of sun sparkling and twinkling through the ripples. Before Spyro could indulge himself, he had to make sure it was safe. He dipped a finger into it and then sucked the juice off.
"Hmm... *smack*... huh, it tastes like blueberries," Spyro said, "Well, doesn't taste poisonous, so I guess it's ok."
Spyro then sat down on his behind, grabbed onto the fruit, tilted it towards himself, and started sipping it slowly, taking in the delicious flavor and indulging himself on it. Soon, it was light enough for him to pick up and he started chugging the rest down. Once he was done with the juice inside, he set the hollow shell down and let out a burp from all the juice he drank all at once.
"*BUUURP*...uggh, that was delicious." Spyro sighed.
He lied on his back for a moment, and he noticed his now distended stomach. He then put a paw to his bulged-out belly and rubbed it a bit.
"Heh, guess I engorged myself a little too much, heh heh," Spyro laughed to himself.
He then sat up and started eating the interior which looked spongy with all the juice that was absorbed into it. He took a bite and indulged the taste.
"Huh, it kinda tastes like a mixture of blueberries and apples," Spyro said.
Using his sharp teeth, Spyro ripped apart the inside and chowed down on it. Once he was finished with that, he then threw the hard shell to the side and lied on his back again.
"Whew, that was definitely worth it." Spyro sighed in relief. "*yawn* I guess I could take a little nap and let this food digest before I go to inform the Guardians about this."
Spyro then crossed his legs, put his front paws behind his head, and began closing his eyes, preparing himself for a nice, comforting nap. But as soon as he started to settle in, his eyes open as a strange feeling starts to come over him.
