"Cheese, look at these!" I said, excitedly picking up the prettiest purple flower. My chao flew over and stared at it excitedly. This was pretty much our plan for every day. Picking flowers was so much fun. But I had to be home by sundown, otherwise mother would be upset.

I went to pick up another one, but it started to glow blue. I watched, and soon a glowing blue ring had formed around Cheese and me. I held him close for comfort. I hoped that this wasn't Doctor Eggman's doing.

The glow got brighter, and the next thing I knew, we were falling. I looked down, and the ground had changed. Now it was a dirt road, and the sky, which had been sunny, was now full of clouds. I flapped my ears to slow my decent, and landed softly on the ground.

I looked at the five people around me. They all wore armor like in fairy tales. I was sure they looked like my friends, but something told me that they weren't. I pulled Cheese closer. "Who are you?"

The purple knight, who looked a lot like Blaze, looked at the others. "We have failed. The summoning was supposed to bring Sonic back."

The silver one, who reminded me of Blaze's friend Silver, crossed his arms. "Did we do something wrong?"

"Why are you guys trying to capture Sonic?" I asked. They all had swords at their sides, and it was starting to scare me. What if they decided to capture me too?

"We are not trying to capture him," the one that looked like Shadow said. "We are trying to acquire his assistance."

"I'm sorry you got me instead," I said.

The red one, who looked like Knuckles, looked at the others. "Forgive us, we did not mean to summon you. We are the Knights of the Round Table. I am Sir Gawain. She is Sir Percival," he indicated to the blaze one, "then Sir Lancelot," that was the one that looked like Shadow, "Sir Galahad," the Silver one, "and Sir Lamorak," the one that looked like Jet.

"I'm Cream," I said, "and this is Cheese."

They all looked intently at him. "What is he?"

"A chao. Don't you have chao here?"

"We do not," the Shadow one, Sir Lancelot, said. "Come with us." He walked over to a bunch of wagons, and hopped onto the back of it. Sir Gawain was on his own wagon, Lamorak was with Galahad, and I was on a wagon with Percival. The drivers, who were short, pale yellowish humanoid creatures, flicked the reins, and the horses started pulling the wagons down the road.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"To the castle," Percival said. "Merlina was going to come on our outing, but was unable due to certain documents she had to attend to. With Sonic away, she has been dealing with the affairs of the ruler."

"King? Are you talking about Mr. Sonic?"

"Yes. After Merlina's defeat, Sir Sonic was appointed king by Caliburn."

"Wow, does that mean his excuse for missing Amy's date was true?"

"What's a date?"

"Nothing," I said, not really knowing how to describe it. "What do you need his help with?"

"The knights of the Underworld are returning. This happened with the reign of the fake King Arthur, but after Sir Sonic defeated Merlina, our world started to return to normal. Now everything seems to be repeating itself."

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

"I do not believe so. We will ask Merlina what to do." We rode a bit longer in silence, and then reached a large town with a giant castle in the center. The wagons stopped in the town, and we walked the rest of the way to the castle.

The inside was amazing. It was like I was in a fairytale. Then again, I kind of was. They led me to the very top, to a large library. It was dimly light by a few candles. Sitting at a table was a girl with long red hair tied in a braid. Leaned up against the table was a large staff. She was reading multiple documents.

"You have returned," she said, not looking up from the papers. "Did you succeed?"

"We are afraid not," Lancelot said. "Though we did manage to summon someone from his world."

She looked up, and her deep blue eyes locked on me. "I see. What is your name, young one?"

"I'm Cream," I said, grabbing Cheese again. "And this is Cheese."

She picked up her staff, and walked over. "It appears that something must have gone wrong. I would have been surprised if it worked. None of you are experienced at magic. Percival has the most experience with it out of all of you, and that mainly revolves around fire." She walked over to one of the extremely tall bookshelves, and climbed the large latter. "Where did I put that spellbook?"

I looked at the shelf she was examining, and saw a bright blue book. I flapped my ears and flew up to it. Pulling it out, I showed it to the girl, who I was going to guess was Merlina. "Is this it?"

She looked at me, shocked at me finding the book and the fact that I was flying. "How can you do that?"

I landed softly on the ground. "I don't know. I just do it?" I handed her the book once she descended the latter.

She set it on the table and opened it up. She and the knights started discussing something about magic. Cheese and I looked around, amazed at all of the books here. I wanted to take a look at them, but I didn't know if I should touch anything.

I looked back at the bookshelf that Merlina had been on, and noticed she had left her staff on it. It was wobbling slightly. I flew up to it, still not sure if I should touch anything. When it started to fall off. I grabbed it, then flew back down to the ground.

I started walking back to Merlina to give her the staff back, but was having trouble since some of the candles had gone out. The large ball on the top started to glow. I didn't want to drop it, but I didn't know what to do. The glow got brighter. With a burst f fire, the room was filled with light, every candle being lit.

Merlina and the knights looked at me. Merlina looked around. "Not a single burn on anything else. How did you do this?"

"I'm not sure," I said, still holding the staff. "I've never been able to do anything like that before." Then it hit me. I set the staff down carefully then pulled out the brilliant cut yellow gem I had found only recently. "It might have been the chaos emerald."

Merlina gingerly took it from me, and held it up. "I can feel immense power coming from it, but I am unable to tap it." She handed it to Percival. "Hold out your hands." I did so, and she put hers on top of mine. "I can feel the same power radiating from you. When the spell brought you here, some of the emeralds power must have entered you."

"What does that mean?"

"It means that we have a new wizard."
