Ember stared at the small bottle containing the pink liquid. The crush she had on Spyro was a silly emotion she had a few years ago, when she was a immature pre-teen who knew nothing about love.
She knew what love was now, for she loved the black dragoness known as Cynder. Her conscience was telling her that it was wrong to steal ones lover away by force, but Ember wanted Cynder more than ever.
When she wanted something she desired, the pink dragoness would stop at nothing until she had it. It was one of her dark traits her sweet personality owned.
She reached into her satchel and snatched out five gold coins.
"I will take the bottle," she said, placing the money on the table.
"Are you sure?" asked Lumeria, cocking a eyebrow.
"Positive," said Ember with a nod.
"It's all yours then," said the fox, snatching up the coins, and the amulet, and placing it somewhere in her cloak.
She stood up and went to the entrance, holding the flap open for Ember.
"Thank you," said Ember as she left.
"Come again!" cried Lumeria cheerfully, waving as the pink dragoness left.
But when Ember went around a corner, a sinister grin appeared on Luneria's face, her eyes turning yellow, her pupils turning into slits.
"O, young one," she said, her voice distorted, "If only you knew what you are about to do. Let's see how Cynder would like it when her hormones spiral out of control!"
**********
Ember had an idea, when she returned back to the temple and entered her room, to get Cynder to drink the potion.
It wasn't odd when the pink dragoness wanted to suddenly invite the black dragoness over for some tea.
She quickly brewed up the drink, dripping a few drops of the potion into one cup, setting it on her table.
She went to Cynder chambers and invited her over. She wasn't doing much so she excepted her friend's invitation.
And here the two of them sat, together. It was a lot easier than Ember expected. She made small-talk with Cynder, first asking how she was and how her day was.
Her heart was racing as she watched Cynder lift the cup of tea to her maw.
A little more, a little more! thought Ember, her tail twitching with excitement, Just take a sip, dammit!
And she did...
