Cold as Ice
Chapter 1
True, you would believe me to be insane upon reading these pages, and I do wish that the events I have recorded were but mere senseless hallucination. However, it so that this account is the absolute and factual account of what I have recently witnessed.
It started about a month ago, the time was 10:47 P.M., 10.47, the damned number I shall never forget. I was lying atop the train station in Station Square, a city I had one of my biggest adventures in. While not too long ago, it seems so far away from where I am now.
Earlier that day I had foiled yet another coup d'état lead by the infamous scientist Doctor Ivo Robotnik. I was once known as somewhat of a hero, and this wasn't my first time defeating his armies. He was planning to lead his robotic soldiers through Station Square leading all the way to the United Federation capital, Central City. Unfortunately for him, in my possession were the 7 gems of power known as the Chaos Emeralds. With these, I was able to gather enough power to take out his entire army in a single stroke. But even with the Chaos Emeralds, the fight still left me quite exhausted, and I chose to rest atop the train station until morning.
However, it had begun to rain around twilight, and I decided to seek shelter the nearby hotel. But, as I rose up and gathered my belongings, I noticed that the color had begun to fade from the Chaos Emeralds, and I could have sworn there was a faint whisper that I could not make out. I had decided that this event could prove to be significant, so I made up my mind. It was time to visit some old friends.
