The next morning, Leonidas woke-up fresh as the flowers and spring and he took note that tomorrow is the day of the tournament. At that moment Leonidas walked out of his room but as he was walking out he bumped into his mother. Cynthia looked to her son a bit shocked and then smiled and placed a kiss on his forehead from all the hard work he’s been doing to get ready for the tournament and then said, “Come along son, let’s go eat some breakfast.” “Alright mom, let’s go.” Leonidas said and started walking down the halls with his mother by his side and was walking straight towards the dining hall. When Leonidas and Cynthia walked into the dining hall they looked around and saw that Spyro Cynder and The Guardians have already woken-up. Leonidas and Cynthia sat down on both sides of Terrador. Terrador smiled and hugged both his son and his mate. Leonidas and Cynthia hugged back. Cynder walked over to her parents and her brother and joined in the family hug. Leonidas pulled Cynder over towards him as Cynder smiled and held tightly onto her brother. After a few moments, the family hug was broken up. Cynder went back to sit down next to Spyro. After about a few minutes everyone had they’re breakfast brought to them. Leonidas ate his breakfast slowly and carefully he didn’t wanna get too full during his training. Cynder and Spyro were the first two that finished they’re breakfast, but first they took care of their dishes and then walked around the temple together. Volteer was the next one done; after Volteer was done he went over to the library to read certain books that he seemed very interested in. Cyril was the next one done and then, after he was done eating he went to his chamber and went around to make sure all of his things were in order. Terrador was done but, Terrador sat back down with his mate and son and waited for them. When Cynthia was done, she also sat down next to her mate and patiently waited for her son to finish eating. When Leonidas finished eating, he placed the plate he used on the counter for moles and then walked out of the dining hall with his parents. After a while Leonidas thought it would be nice to get some training done, Cynthia on the other hand thought she could have some fun watching her son practice. As Leonidas practiced all his basic moves, he then went onto his more advanced moves. After Leonidas finished working on his advanced moves he then started working on his elemental moves. Cynthia watched proudly as she then snapped her fingers turning Leonidas into his purple Dragon form, but he still had his light and darkness markings all over him. After Leonidas was done practicing his elemental abilities he then started practicing his Star Tornado. Cynder walked up next to her mother and watched Leonidas practice. Volteer and Cyril came around a corner and then looked to Leonidas’ Star Tornado and were quite impressed so they decided to join Cynder and Cynthia. Spyro and Terrador then saw Leonidas’ Star Tornado and then decided to watch with Cynthia Cynder Volteer and Cyril. The longer Leonidas used his Star Tornado, the more powerful it got and then after about a half-hour of making his Tornado as strong as he could possibly make it he then landed on all fours and was nowhere close to dizzy. When Leonidas looked around he nodded in approval of his work and then walked inside. As Leonidas walked inside, everyone that was watching him looked around too each other and they knew that Leonidas was ready for the tournament. Leonidas then walked into his room and noticed his daughter Rachelle lying on his pillows. Leonidas then smiled and then went over little Rachelle and then placed a kiss on her forehead. Rachelle smiled in her sleep then after a few moments woke-up and looked to her father and then grabbed hold of his muzzle. Leonidas pushed Rachelle up onto the top of his head and then went out onto the balcony of his room and looked out across the city. Rachelle was surprised by how big her new home was and never wanted her father to leave her and then slid down onto her father’s back. Leonidas turned around and then nuzzled little Rachelle, Rachelle nuzzled her father back and then layed down on her father’s back while he walked around. Leonidas then walked back inside and closed the door to his balcony with his tail and then decided to take a walk through town, but was getting a lot of attention from a lot of Dragoness’ from around the city and some of the Dragoness’ that were entering the tournament tomorrow. Leonidas just continued walking through town until he got to the gates, at that moment he folded his wings over Rachelle and then teleported back home. Appearing back in Leonidas’ room he walked over to his bed and then slid Rachelle off of him and down onto his bed and then placed another kiss on her forehead and held her close. Rachelle then hugged her father’s muzzle and didn’t want to let go at all. Leonidas then heard a knock on his door and then answered the knock and said, “Come in.” When the door opened Leonidas found out that it was none other than his parents. Cynthia and Terrador both noticed that he was spending some time with his little one but they thought that they should talk with him. “Leonidas, honey.” Cynthia said. “Yes, mother?” Leonidas asked. “There’s something we need to talk to you about.” Cynthia continued. “What is something wrong?” Leonidas asked a bit curiously. “Nothing is wrong; we just wanna talk to you about raising a child.” Cynthia said. “Yes, we thought that you wouldn’t be ready for this talk, until now.” Terrador said. “What do you mean by that?” Leonidas asked a bit confused. “We want to let you know that, if you any help raising Rachelle, any help at all, we insist that you come and find us, plus being a single father isn’t as good as it seems.” Cynthia said. “Mother, everything will be okay, I’m gonna have you guys taking care of her while I’m competing in the tournament tomorrow anyways.” Leonidas said lifting up little Rachelle and faced her towards her grandparents. Rachelle at first was a little scared but Leonidas said, “It’s okay sweetie, this is your grandmother, and grandfather.” Rachelle then smiled widely and reached over towards her grandmother. Cynthia then took Rachelle off of Leonidas’ nose and then held Rachelle in her arms and smiled. Looking at Rachelle reminded Cynthia of the very first time she saw her own son. It also reminded Terrador of the same thing. Cynthia then gave her granddaughter back to her son. Leonidas then put Rachelle back on his bed and placed a kiss on her forehead. Terrador and Cynthia then came over to watch. Rachelle then rubbed up against her father and then after a few moments got very tired and decided to lie back down on her father’s pillow’s and curled up into a little ball and fell asleep. At about ten o’clock at night Leonidas crawled into bed as well and then rested his head down on his pillow and pulled Rachelle close to him and closed his eyes and fell asleep. Rachelle curled into a little ball and decided to lie under her father’s chin and then fell asleep.
