I look in the stars and see them shine brightly and equal in endearing charm. For that thought in mind. Why can't siblings be the same?
Not like clones, no, nothing like that.
But to be able to show elders that not only one is able to something. Not as better, but shown in their own way.
Sonic for one; can run in light year speed and not get hurt.
Sonia may not be the fastest in speed, but makes up for it, with that whirlwind.
Similar in one, but different at the same.
But, what about me? The little brother that was raised by thieves and was learned to live by one's own rules.
I have no speed of any kind.
No brain smarts that came close to my older sister or brother.
Only street smarts and guts.
That's all I had. With only the feeling of being a glitch that shouldn't be here.
Mother, wherever you are. I hope you hear this. I don't hate for the choices that you made for us. You only did what was right.
But still, if you knew who had powers and not. Would I still be alive? Would you even let me find my siblings?
I have many more to ask, but they are better to be told your face. And I'll wait for you, alongside them. Even though I know I can't do anything, but bang a few drum beats to keep others away.
"Manic?" Sonia shouted not far from the forest edge.
The green hedgehog hummed a simple tune of knowing that he head her voice.
"You okay?"
"Been great, why you ask?"
"No reason, but Sonic says we'll be on the move soon. Be ready." And started to head back to the campsite hidden in the woods.
"Okay!" Shouted back.
Giving a toss of rock into the vast ice blue water before him, standing up from the ground. Able to see his face in the rippling water.
Mother, hear me, from the youngest prince of your given yield. And with words brought from the travels that we, me and my siblings, found along this way. I hope to see you. And hear you call us your children.
I know that day is far away. But I got the others to keep me level and I to them.
For I, Manic, may not be like Sonic or Sonia. But I am still a hedgehog. I'm still family. With no powers. But still, I won't let that blind me.
I promise.
With love, Manic.
