Prologue
Silver stood darkly in his apocalyptic future, thinking about his sad past that was filled with angst and sorrow. "I'm a child of destiny," he sighed, twisting into a pose that a hero would strike. Because he was a hero. Nothing more, but nothing less. "And I have a destiny I must fulfill..." he dove off into the fiery schism that was his home, spreading his arms as the wind flew up to greet him. The boiling stone beneath him grew near, and he gave off a pulse of telekinetic energy, transferring his momentum upwards.
He wove in and out of the smoke, spinning in a circle to send the dust spilling outwards instead of blowing in his face. He sped downwards again towards his 'home', which was just a lonely box behind a trashcan... "Blaze," he said sadly, because he really didn't feel many other emotions. How could he? Life was hopeless and cruel, and he knew reality better than the back of his own hand.
"Yes, Silver?" the purple cat crawled out of the soggy box to pet Silver's cannabis looking hair. His eyes went shut, focusing solely on the fuzzy feeling of his friend's puerilely pink appendages swiveling through his 'hair'. "What is wrong, old friend?"
Silver sighed and sank to the ground, kicking aside a rotted dumpling that he had nibbled at for breakfast. "I was contacted by Father Destiny, informing me that I am a child of destiny and have a destiny to fulfill!" He cried silently and let Blaze continue petting his pot-head, imagining that it soothed his soul.
Boom! Bam! Brown! The noises came from across the fiery sea. Silver turned, ripping his head too quickly away, plucking 99% of his 'hair'. Blaze was furriated. "What is wrong with you!?" she threw the pile of silvery weed into the molten rock which was creeping up on their home. "That wasn't ripe yet, and now I can't smoke it!" She stomped off and didn't wait for a reply, but that was a horrible mistake...
Iblis appeared on the horizon and Silver screamed, a soft and steady flow of urine coming from his decently fur-covered crotch. Blaze screamed too. "Silver!" she ran to collect the liquid... they hadn't drank in three days.. Silver continued screaming. He clutched his face, ripping more of its color away than he ever previously had. He used to be a red hedgehog, you see, but he removed all the color from his fur due to fright.
Iblis stood still, watching her children kill themselves in this horrible world she had left them... but it wasn't all her fault. "You think... and you see." she turned her gaze solely to Silver. And his screaming subsided to a small whimper. "But you have forgotten.. you have all forgotten." Blaze turned her ears to the booming voice, just now noticing that Iblis was near, the pee drifted near the lava and sizzled. "I can show you.. Things from before... that of which will come after. Of the lives of those who have brought this fate upon you.. to their successes and.. their failures.." Iblis shrugged her big red shoulders. "But mostly their failures." she grinned, once again scaring the pee out of her children. "It all started, 200 years ago..."
