CHAPTER 3: SILVER
Act 1: Crisis City: Part 3
"My name is Silver. I'm a hedgehog. I was born with unusual powers called Psychokinesis, the power to control things with the power of my mind. I was born into a desolate world, ruled by flames and destruction. Everyone left the city in hopes to find a better place, a paradise. I stood back in the city along with my childhood friend, Venice to find a better solution to the world instead of running; Destroying the source of it all, Iblis; The Flames of Disaster. We fought long and hard against Iblis for as long as I can remember, despite all our struggles, we only won battles but not the war. Time and time again, we defeated Iblis in battle, each one more challenging than the next, and in the end, he only revive himself with the abundant flames all around us. It was an unwinnable battle."
"One day, me and Venice went on our usual routine; Scouting the ruined city in search of Iblis, to prevent him from growing stronger as best as we could. I ventured into the city on my own, observing the buildings that stood before me. I always wondered how they used to look, as I always saw them covered in ash. The sound of burning fire was a constant sound I heard when in this city, never a moment of silence and peace. The roads were destroyed as well, completely unusable to travel, with massive gaps with lava waiting just below. An eruption occurred just in front of me, nearly burning me alive. As I looked at the flames, it made my anger grew. It all reminded me of Iblis, the monster whose image was burned into my mind just as he was burned into the world. I used my Psychokinesis and disposed of the flames before me. How I wished that defeating Iblis was just as easy, but wishes never seemed to come true in this world of mine. My friend Venice appeared before me, calling out to me. She told me that she spotted where Iblis would appear next and I flew there in great haste."
"When we arrived, we witnessed Iblis emerging from the ground like the devil he is. His appearance had changed the last time we battled, looking more evil with his demon-like appearance, fitting his destructive personality. I took my stand against him when most people would run. Hate and anger filled me instead of fear and worry, fueling my desire to destroy Iblis completely. We engaged into a climatic battle once again, with Iblis' power over flames giving him complete control of the city, firing at us from all sides. With anyone else, they would have been killed in a manner of seconds, but with my Psychokinesis and Venice's powers: The powers over lightning, we could hold our own against the beast, making us able to fight with him on even ground. He roared and lashed at us, nearly catching us by surprise with his second set of arms he had brought into the fight, but we still had the upper hand against him. We managed to defeat him after a long and tiring battle as he fell into the lava he came from. But it didn't matter, because we knew he would come back. Again, and again, and again, until we're dead. In frustration, I hit the side of a building, regretting my own inability to stop Iblis once and for all. Asking if anyone could help. Then I heard a voice behind me. "By knowing the truth of Iblis," it said. I turned to see a hedgehog like me, but black in color. "Like a flower comes from a seed, or a chicken comes from an egg, everything has an origin," he said. The hedgehog seemed like he wanted to help us with our dilemma by his words, and I immediately asked him what help he offered us. But, who was this hedgehog that offered his assistance also raced through my mind."
