Major Disclaimer: The following prologue is by Leaf, not me!
A plea from the future would summon Leaf to travel to that certain ripple in time. She had the power to travel, stop, and change time. Someone that was particularly closer to her heart made her want to go to the future; that certain someone was Silver the hedgehog.
I've never heard of his mother before. I can't bare it any longer; I must witness his birth to see who his mother is. Leaf took her trusty green chaos emerald from her pocket and held it out in front of her. "Chaos control!" A portal opened up in the air, sucking away. She jumped right through.
The air was cold as the moonlit sky sprinkled overhead. Leaf sat behind a building and noticed a car being driven by Shadow, and on the driver's side a gray pale hedgehog sat in the driver's seat, baby Silver nestled in her arms.
Suddenly, Shadow pulled to a sudden stop as a burning building ahead knocked them away. The car flipped over as Shadow escaped from the driver's side. He looked around to find the girl sitting next to him, who was probably Silver's mother. Momentarily, Shadow ran to the other side of the car, where the girl was thrown out.
"Oh my god," Leaf covered her mouth in disbelief, "I got to get closer." Leaf snapped her fingers and disappeared out of sight and ran behind a tree.
"Selene!" Shadow cried as he grabbed the silver hedgehog in his arms. The hedgehog, who was supposedly Selene, grunted and struggled up, cradling Silver.
Wait, how is Shadow with Selene? Am I really 186 years in the future? Glacia must be dead!
"Shadow…"Selene murmured, "My son…let me hold him one last time…"
"Alright, Selene, what is his name?" Shadow asked in a down tone.
"His name…his name is…Silver. Silver the hedgehog," Selene struggled to move up, "I…I'm not going to make it, Shadow," Selene said softly, "I love you, Silver…" Selene's eyes closed as she huffed her last breath of air.
Leaf pressed her back against the tree and slowly slid down. Her heart was pounding really fast, almost so fast that it was uncontrollable. She started to cry silently to herself. Leaf wanted to run to Silver and tell him everything she saw, but remembered how her life went like.
"My…my mother died when I was young, too. I never even knew my father," Leaf whispered to herself. I'm just like Silver. "If Silver ever knows that Shadow is his father, his life would crushed. I'd better keep it to myself." Leaf looked into the distance and pulled out her chaos emerald. "Chaos control!" She jumped through the portal, back to the present.
