The sun rose over the horizon of the Sol Kingdom, the extravagant castle slowly glistening under the warm glow of the light. The townspeople slowly emerged from their homes and soon, the air was filled with the conversations and laughter of shopkeepers, families, and friends. The royal family were all awake and the princess, a lavender feline named Blaze, solely for her pyrokinetic abilities, was busy taking watch over the Sol Emeralds with a rather glum demeanor. After her adventures with Sonic the Hedgehog, in which she emotionally grew and understood the aid of others more, there have been no major conflicts rising throughout the land. Crimes driven by impulse still occurred but there were no pre-meditated schemes that were cause for concern by the king. Blaze valued her role as the guardian of the Sol Emeralds but she felt that she could have been doing more to help protect her family's land.
However, peace is preferable rather to insane villainy.
Blaze stretched her arms and gave a small yawn that echoed throughout the holding room of the Sol Emeralds, located in the lower levels of the castle. She was becoming very bored with each passing day but she also did not want to bother her father, who was busy planning for the annual festival celebrating the birth of their kingdom. However, the boredom was also putting her into an irritable mood, and some time out of the castle could do the trick. Sighing a bit nervously, Blaze grabbed the Sol Emeralds and found a satin bag to place them in. She carried it with her to the throne room, where her parents were engaged in casual conversation with their maids and butlers.
Blaze approached the king, "Father, is it allowed for me to leave the castle and walk around the town?
Her father, a slightly aged lavender feline like Blaze, only with darker eyes and a grand black mustauche, looked at his daughter and smiled, "Of course you can, darling. Everything has been going perfect recently. You do deserve a chance to rest."
Blaze gave him a smile in return, but her thoughts said otherwise. Why didn't I think of this before? thought Blaze.
"Thank you Father!" said Blaze as she prepared to leave the throne room.
However, her father's voice boomed again, "Blaze, what is in that bag you're holding?"
Blaze looked back at her father and clearly yet nervously said, "The Sol Emeralds. So I can still protect them."
The king stroked his mustauche in thought and his smile was gone. "Okay Blaze. But be very careful. Do not let them out of sight."
Blaze nodded towards her father. "I will. Thank you again."
