Hello everyone! I know you guys were expecting a new chapter from either of my other books. But sadly, I've lost all inspiration to continue that story. Anyway, for those of you who were hoping for a new chapter from my old book, I'm sorry. But, the good news is that I have a whole new inspiration to make a new story that takes place right after the first book. I do hope you all like it!

So without further ado, please enjoy the newest story of the Radiant Dark saga!

Long ago, two races were at war, each one battling for land. The leader of both tribes, the mother of darkness and the warrior of light fought each other for centuries. Until one day, an evil buried under earth had awoken. This unknown malevolence would ruin the world and the other races. To stop this the mother and warrior settled their differences and united the races to take on this evil. But the two of them would not beat them alone. Seven of the warrior's strong and beautiful maidens, and seven of the mother's ruthless, beastly generals fought together to seal away the evil once and for all. As the two races finally achieved peace, the eight couples settled down having offspring. Each couple had a peculiar child. Each of these eight children made up a new race. A race that would soon play a part in the fate of the world.

"BOOM!"

"RISSETI!"

A brown hedgehog quickly lifted her head after hearing the sound of a book fall on her desk. Her silver eyes were looking left and right.. She then heard her classmates laugh at her making sly remarks.

"Wha…what!? I'm awake! I was just in deep thought!"

Standing in front of her was the instructor wearing a blue gown and holding a ruler. "Is that right? Then perhaps you can tell the class what major massacre happened in the year 3900 B.C. (Before Chaos)

The hedgehog tilted her head in thought. "The great Chaos cataclysm?"

The rest of the class laughed, as the teacher sighed walking back to his desk. "We were just discussing how that wasn't the case. Pay attention!"

The hedgehog lowed herself almost under her desk in embarrassment. "Sorry sir…"

"As I was saying, this great massacre, marked the beginning of the first gathering of souls dedicated to the cause of the shroud. And it wasn't till 600 years later that we had found the monsters responsible for the attack"

"The nightwalkers" Said one of the students

"Correct. The shroud never forgot the poor souls who were wiped out by these creatures. It is to believe that they transformed members of this clan that into their own. The queen of that era then ordered to kill off every last one of them. As the order was carried out, only a handful of the members were left" Some students turned over to the hedgehog who was just looking the other way.

"Now, The rest of you are assigned to write a report on that historical event. As for you, Ms. Russeti" The teacher handed the hedgehog a book. "You are to write a report about not just the event, but on this book as well!"

"What?!" She got up looking at it. "But, sir! I don't anything about this"

"You should have thought of that before falling asleep during my lectures" The bell started to ring the class quickly got up from their desk and left. The hedgehog slowly picks up her things with her shoulders slumping. She didn't even look at the teacher before leaving. "Honestly, Russeti, are you even a little bit curious about this clan at all?"

She turned to the door and huffed. "No…" She said bluntly walking out.

The hedgehog walked down the halls glancing at the other students as they kept their distance from her. She could hear them giggle and whisper behind her back. She could feel the icy stares coming from all their blue eyes. But suddenly everyone stopped and started bowing putting their hands out forming a hood. The hedgehog looked up front and gasped. She saw a white shrew wearing a blue tunic and cape. Walking with him was a young blue pica wearing a pair of glasses a brown coat and black pants. The hedgehog started stumbling trying to adjust herself doing the same bow as the others.

"Master Klaus" She spoke. "What a-an honor"

"The pleasure's all mine, Ms. Russeti" the shrew spoke. "I have a personal task for you"

"A task?"

"Yes. Walk with me"

The three of them walked into a room just below the school. The room was filled with books and scrolls and in the middle was a huge brown sarcophagus with several different symbols. Klaus turned to the two smiling.

"First, I would like for you to meet, Dr. Relic. She's an archeologist from Spagonia"

"How do you do?" She spoke in a British accent.

"A doctor…at such a young age?" the hedgehog thought

"She has been studying ancient cultures around the world, so she came to us asking to educate her. I am asking you personally to help her"

"Me?" the hedgehog was shocked with that reaction.

"Even though you are not of our race, your father was a proud warrior who taught you everything you know. I only wish he were here now, especially after the queen has woken up"

"Queen Darcy…..is alive…." She gasped stepping back.

"Yes. You see, my dear, Relic has a….fascination on the Cramoisi. But you know how monstrous they can be. I need you to help her find them. With your special craft and her knowledge, we may finally learn of their location"

The hedgehog clenched her fist. "I understand, master. I will help her" She replied without a second thought.

"Splendid" Klaus then walked out of the room. "Good luck, children"

Relic looked around the room astonished. "My word. Do all these books contain information on the Nilutenibus?"

"Excuse me?"

"Nilutenibus, the scientific term, Nilutenbre, or as you call them, Cramoisi."

"How much do you know of them?"

"I've been studying them for over eight years now. My field of study is also mythology. For years I've been fascinated by these creatures. That's when I learned of your kind. You are the closest people who had one if any connection to these creatures."

The hedgehog chuckled a little. "Oh we have a history, as old as time"

Relic came up to her holding her hands. "Marvelous! Together we can actually stumble upon them. I've been trying to find them ever since the unexplained disappearances of young teens as well as the world hero, Sonic the Hedgehog and several others. But sadly I haven't had much luck. So will you help me, Ms. Hedgehog?"

She looked at Relic with a smile. "Call me Lila" She then lifted her hand. "Feel free to learn all you can about the Cramoisi"

Relic smiled and nodded. "Thank you Lila"

For the next few hours, Relic tore book after book and scroll after scroll looking at everything she can. She was even able to keep a few of the books. As she was studying, Lila kept her company also brushing up on the history.

After four hours, Lila was standing around looking at the large brown box in the middle of the room. Relic was still reading with her eyes wincing. Lila looked at a strange circle on the box. She stared at it slowly trying to reach it.

"What is that?" Lila jumped from shock and quickly turned around looking at Relic. "I couldn't help but notice that strange box. What is it?"

"No clue" Lila answered calmly. "We excavated it while looking through some strange ruins. We don't know of it's origin though"

"Fascinating…." Relic walked up to get a closer look Lila then placed her hand on the strange circle. She then gasped feeling a sudden shock followed by intense pain. She screamed trying to move her hand, but to no avail. "Lila! Get away from…" Relic rushed over trying to help her, but it was like her hand was glued on to the box. After a what seemed like minutes, they managed to break free. On the box a red trail was coursing through the glyphs of the box going all the way to the end like rivers forming a lake.

Lila then winced in pain. She looked at her hand seeing a small gash. The two of them look at the red pool sink into the box. The box started to rumble shaking up the whole room. Lila quickly held Relic close protecting her. When the rumbling stopped they got up looking at the box.

BOOOM!

The box slammed open with a bright light illuminating from it when the light stopped a shroud of darkness came seeping out from it.. They both then saw a figure rise from the tomb with their arms crossed. They were wearing a mask that looked like a bat and wore a brown tunic with a large gray sash around it. Their eyes opened revealing two glowing silver eyes. Though she wore a mask, only their muzzle was visible.

Both girls got up looking at the creature before them. The figure smiled while giggling.

"Uhh…good day" Relic spoke being polite. "Can you…speak….my….language?"

In an instant she was in front of Lila staring right at her. "U Kxudb oei veh kxo Rceet"

"That language….it's….Relic!"

"I know!" She said smiling. "This means she's one of them! At last! Oh, I have so many questions of you if you don't mind…"

As Relic was reaching in her large backpack, the creature lifted her hands showing a large black and blue orb. Lila quickly ran over to Relic. The orb expanded consuming the entire room trapping them inside. After that there was a massive boom so loud everyone outside could hear it.

Klaus as well as several followers rushed in the room. "Russeti, Relic?" Klaus looked around and gasped as he saw the two girls were nowhere to be found. He then felt his heart sink when he saw the tomb was opened up. He ran over only to see it was empty "No….not again…."

"What should we do, master?" asked one of the followers.

"I want every agent, every marcoat searching. We must find them and destroy the monster who was inside here! GO!"

"Yes master!" the agents dashed out sounding the alarm along the way. Klaus lowed his head shaking his fist.

"No matter what, I will destroy all these Cramoisi!"

Chapter 1

The second awakening.

Life as usual

Within one of of Soleanna's allies a there were three figures standing close to each other. One figure was a husky man with a knife who was straining with his eyes wide open with someone gnawing on his neck drinking his blood. He was a blue hedgehog, who wore a blue scarf and blue ripped up pants with blue and black shoes. Another figure was a woman with her clothes nearly torn up looking at the creature in fear. The blue hedgehog released his hold on the man who fell to the ground turning gray dissolving into dust. The hedgehog stood there breathing heavily not looking at the cowering lady slowly get up and try to leave alley.

She then bumped into someone on the way out. She looked down and saw a pink hedgehog. She had long hair was wearing a purple dress with black sleeves with gloves showing the fingers and black pants, and boots. She was looking at scared woman with those piercing red-violet eyes.

"It's ok" The hedgehog spoke staring right into the woman's eyes. The woman's eye color changed staring at the hedgehog. "I just want a taste" She then stepped closer to the woman and bit her on the neck and started drinking her blood. She spent some time on her neck not wanting to let go. The sensation of her warm blood touching the hedgehog's tongue and sliding down her throat was incredible and almost irresistible. She was then stopped by her partner who tapped on her shoulder. She pulled away from the woman licking her lips. The male then placed her on the wall of the alley and closing her eyelids.

"Looks like you over did it" the blue one said.

"She's still…." The pink one questioned.

"She'll be fine. Just let her rest. I might be ok if we did stick with drinking regular people instead of robbers and rapist"

"Now why would you do that, Sonic? They're low lives and heartless people"

"Yeah…but…" the hedgehog paused for a moment thinking about someone he used to fight in the past. Now that person is no longer alive. "Kind of makes me wish I could go back…."

Amy then nodded and walked closer to Sonic hugging him from behind. "You know, ever since I became a vampire, I've never once regretted my choice. Even after telling you how I felt about you"

Sonic then held her hands and quickly turned around kissing her. When they broke, she embraced him purring lightly. Sonic then petted her long quills lightly.

"At least it was a good date" The spoke quietly

"Yeah, come on let's go home, Amy" They both spread their large bat like wings and fly up in the air.

The woman slowly got up with her neck glowing bright purple and her hair covering her eyes. She then murmured something under her breath as she was walking out of the alleys slowly slowly. "Mu…j…koh…"

A new home

In the dense Soleanna forest lies a hidden castle. It was only accessible by its residence. Anyone else who would dare enter would get lost. The two hedgehogs flew right to a massive alter. They then saw a purple portal appear in front of the alter.

After flying through it, they stepped into a new realm. This was kingdom valley, a castle that was mostly submerged in water. It was now the new home for the vampire race known as the Cramoisi. All the Cramoisi had their own room to sleep in. Many Cramoisi each had their own love partner; however there were a few who still look for one to be with. Through their tight struggles with an opposing council that's sole purpose is to kill them, they all manage to survive. The castle has undergone some changes. The sky was illuminating a blackish-purple with an orange horizon. The sun never set or did it rise. The castle, though rather old, was slowly being reconstructed. Much of the water has receded, and some of the sunken structure was reveled and restored. The castle grounds became more visible and more connected, making many areas accessible without flying.

Both hedgehogs flew over to a new building within the castle's walls. It was a brick structure with several towers and a landing strip. Working in the building was a twin tailed fox. He was kneeling next to two posts with blue spheres on top.

"How is it coming, darling?"

A young girl with long green hair came in while carrying in a pitcher with a plate of cookies and two cups.

"Ugh! No matter how many times I tried it's still not working. What else should I try?" He said getting up wiping the grease from his hands.

"Tails, you've been working on those warp post for months. Perhaps it's time you took a rest"

"But, just think of it, Cosmo. Once I get this done, we can traval around the world, maybe even in space"

"Oh…of…of Course…." Cosmo slowly placed the snacks on the table.

Tails then stopped realizing what he said he stood up and walked over to the girl hugging her. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to bring up any…"

"It's fine…" She said with a soft tone. "That's all behind me. I have all of you now"

Tails chuckled while looking at the plate. "Oh! Are these sugar?" He said changing the subject and quickly eating a cookie. "Oh these are good!"

"Thanks. I found some robbers earlier today" she said giggling. "they were made great use"

"I smell cookies" The two turned and saw the blue and pink hedgehog enter the room. "Are we…disturbing anything?"

"No, come on in" Cosmo said "You can have some if you'd like"

"Sweet" Sonic rushed in grabbing two cookies and started eating "How comes the portal making?"

"Terrible!" the fox said bluntly. "I've made massive ships and planes and built a super computer out of my dishwasher and refrigerator, but making a simple teleportation portal is a lot to be desired when you don't have the right parts! You and Shadow make teleporting so easy!"

"What about that teleportation device you made to help us get home the first time?" Amy asked

"With this portal, it won't be just one portal. We could all use it to warp wherever we want whenever we want"

"You should take a break from all of this. Let's go out and…"

The four of them then got a certain feeling. A small pulsation in their heads. They set their food down and got up simultaneously.

"Do you hear that?" Sonic asked

"Yeah…" Tails walked over towards the doorway. Come on.

Meanwhile, back in the city. People were wondering why her shirt was slightly torn by the neck. People started back away from her as she was limping and stumbling like a drunk. Following her was a figure wearing a blue and white veil. The figure slowly reached out what looked like to be a gun.

"Hey, you!"

The female shouted out pulling out her gun making those around her panic and run away. The girl didn't even flinch. All she did was continue to walk.

"An impure insect like you thinks they can just waltz in and bite whoever they want? Think again!"

The girl just smiled as her teeth glistened in the light. "Veet…Bacc….veh…..Mu…j…koh…"

The four of them walk from the air strip into the castle hall. They could hear a light voice that got louder with each step they took. They made their way to what looked like a chapel. It was worn out over the ages and in front of the building that looked like a large shrine. In the center of the shrine was a glowing white symbol that was covered in moss. Sonic knelt down wiping the muck from the floor.

"Don't touch it!" Amy shouted. It was too late, Sonic was stricken with awe looking at the symbol and what it was. It was an insignia of what looked like a man with angelic wings and a woman with long hair and a dress standing over what looked like a bat creature. Further away from the mark was another emblem that looked similar to the bat creature with red eyes, purple body and large back feet.

Tails knelt down looking at the letters on the ground. It was something he never seen before, but for some reason, he could understand what it said.

Son….aura….." he murmured.

Sonic could also see the same letters around the bat emblem. He squinted his eyes looking down as the words became clear to him.

Ye who hath the heart of the forlorn. Ye who sleep with hearts that have been left by their loved ones and forgotten by the world. Let them cometh into the confines of Sonaura

Suddenly the ground started to shake from the ground a large statue came up. The noisy voice got louder and clear enough to hear. The statue looked like a feminine mobian with large bat like wings behind on her back, claws on her feet and long hair. From the statue you could hear what sounded like a song.

"Is that….mother?" Amy asked. "But how?"

"No…" Tails said looking at the figure. "This one has quills…"

"Why would this old place have different monuments from the rest of the castle?"

"There are more glyphs around here" Cosmo pointed out. "But I can't read the text…" She looked closely at the emblem below her feet. This mark was 90 degree's way from the purple one. Amy also looked at another one, just 45 degrees from the other two. Tails flew upward to look at the others. Other than one in front of Sonic, there were six other mossy emblems surrounding the one in the center.

"Could there have been some secret religion that no one knew about?" Tails asked

"Beats me, I'm still trying to get this lady's singing out of my head…" Sonic was covering his ears. "It sounds like my MP3 on repeat"

"Having heightened senses doesn't help either…" Tails agreed

"I think it sounds beautiful" Cosmo protested while still looking at the mark "The creature over here looks like some bug…"

"This one's kind of scary…" Amy pointed out "it looks like a snake…or a…eel?"

"The other's looked too damaged to make out" Tails said from above.

They were interrupted by a loud beeping coming from the radio. Tails picked it up and answered. "Could

"Tails! We have a problem!" Shouted a male from the other side of the radio.

"What is it, Jayden?"

"It's the military! They've started attacking the town and there's something else! The people are…" the radio was cut off.

"Jayden? Jayden do you read?!" Tails looked at Sonic with concern.

"Let's go!" he ordered

"I'll get the tornado!" Tails said.

Amy stayed behind and looked at the singing madden statue

"Mathra" Amy whispered

"Amy!"

The sound of Sonic's voice snapped her out her trance. She turned around and followed her lover.
