Read and Review please NO FLAMES!!!
Sonic the Hedgehog was just starting to wrap up his morning run through the park. It was unusually empty today–probably had something to do with the chilly weather–so the blue hedgehog didn't have to swerve and slow down as much to avoid pedestrians. After a couple laps he decided to stop at the pond, as he did every morning.
He stood at the water's edge, shoes picking up dew from the damp green grass that bordered the banks as he stared out across the water's surface. Not a single duck or water bug to disturb the calm, ripple-less water.
Now, he was not usually the one to take such time to admire beauty, but it was just so surreal, he couldn't help himself.
He sucked in a deep, serene breath and let it out, watching his breath turn to fog before his emerald eyes, then slowly evaporate into the air around him.
After a couple more minutes admiring the calm scene before him he turned around to run back home, when suddenly he saw a large, green flash of light out of the corner of his left eye.
He whirled his body in the direction of the flash but had to shield his eyes with his forearm from the brightness of it.
Moments later the light was gone and Sonic removed his arm from his eyes.
"Blaze? What are you doing here?" Sonic asked with mild surprise.
Blaze the Cat stood before him, right were the light had been. She had a worried expression etched into her white muzzle. When she did not answer immediately Sonic demanded, "Blaze, what's wrong?"
"Sonic, I need your help." Blaze's voice had a slightly frantic edge to it, Sonic noticed and took a couple steps towards the cat to show her she had his attention.
"Do you remember me telling you that I am royalty?" Blaze asked the hedgehog. Sonic's eyes narrowed.
"I think so." Oh yes, he remembered. He still had a little trouble picturing Blaze as a princess. Sitting on a throne, having servants buzzing about her doing whatever she commanded them to.
"Well, my Kingdom, Zeldelphia, is in dire trouble. My parents, the King and Queen, have gone missing and are no where to be found. In turn, me eldest sister, Tryphaena, has taken the throne and is now serving as a temporary Queen."
Sonic didn't say a word as Blaze went on with her story.
"But the problem is that she is a horrible leader; power hungry, selfish and cold hearted she will surely ruin Zeldelphia in her attempts for ultimate power." Blaze looked down and closed her eyes as he finished her tale.
"Starvation has plagued the lower class of my Kingdom for some time now, and with Tryphaena as ruler, not caring about anyone but herself, they will surely die. Riots will break out and she will send the troops to slaughter anyone he disobeys her. The land will slowly deteriorate until there is nothing left. Nothing of huge significance has happened yet, but I have a feeling it is going to start very soon." Blaze finished with a hint of hopelessness to her voice. She opened her yellow eyes and stared at Sonic.
"Blaze, you know I'd help you with anything!" Sonic smiled, hoping to give Blaze some sort of hope.
"Sonic, do you think you may be able to bring some of your friends along?" Blaze inquired. Sonic looked at her in confusion.
"Why? Don't you think me and you are enough to defeat your sister?"
"Yes, but only her. See, she has guards around every corner, the palace is full of them. She's never without at least two guards by her side at any given time."
Sonic silently considered this, looking at Blaze. Her body language said she was calm, but her panic-stricken eyes betrayed her.
Sonic stepped forward, closing the distance between the two of them, and put a gloved hand on her shoulder. "You can count on me! Meet me here tomorrow at the same time, and I'll have as many of my friends with me as I can." Blaze gazed into Sonic's emerald eyes with her golden ones and allowed her self to smile.
"Thank you, Sonic the Hedgehog." and with that, Blaze took a couple steps back, and vanished in the same light she had appeared in.
Sonic gazed at the spot the cat had been just a second later, contemplating what to do. Then, he turned around and sprinted out of the park as fast as he could, eager to start gathering his friends.
