Ok... This will be the beginning of my first complete story; if you read and liked my first story (you should if you haven't) you will definitely like this one (actually it has the same topic, but... what the hell) . I would like to say thanks to Felouse for giving such a nice review in my other story, and to Anvanimaserke, for inspiring me into this web site.
One comment: this is a FICTION, it is does NOT include every aspect of the actual background of the characters. So please, try to use your imagination. Don't picture the characters their actual age, they are older, ok? ... I just wanted to take that of my chest because some people are just too simple minded to actually process something on their own.
Disclaimer: you're not going to make write a disclaimer too, ARE YOU?
Enough said; back to my usual (and poetic) self.
EDEN'S LOVERS
Chapter One. Crimson Tide.
Night covered gently Angel Island. A starry heaven was at sight, with light emanating from the full moon dancing over the shrine of the Master Emerald. Although, as beautiful as the night was, the air was filled with sorrow fed from the cries of an innocent creature laying hopeless in its own thoughts and despair.
There, at the bottom of the shrine, rested a familiar figure. A light-orange bi-tailed vulpine was flowing his soul out through his tears, as a stream of crimson liquid leaked down from one of his arms.
This sight was not unnoticed, as the fiercely devoted guardian was now approaching the site filled with sorrow.
"Tails? Is that you?" The crimson guardian's voice was heard, speaking a worried tone. There was no response from the fox, only the continuation of the cries.
"What has happened?" The echidna tried again to obtain an answer from the afflicted soul in front of him, while nearing him a bit more.
Still no response.
This time the red one reached out a hand to place it over the orange's shoulder. "Tails, please tell me. What happened to you? and... what is that!? Oh my god! Tails, you're bleeding!!"
At last, the figure that was laid on the floor enounced in a low voice "I... I... crashed while landing".
Knuckles lifted his stare to a hill not far away; smoke was rising high. This image did not frighten him as much as what he saw next; a path of blood was traced from the crash site until it reached the place where the vulpine was lamenting.
"Tails, you should have called me sooner, what were you waiting for!?" The echidna shouted, almost scolding the fox for being reckless.
The vulpine only shivered at the voice, and he turned to meet the repenting face of the guardian. The sapphire stare met the night blue glance. Such sorrow was in the eyes of the laying one. The echidna soon realized the pain on the fox's left arm was not the cause of his flowing tears; something else was there, but for now, the only thing he could do was to treat the wound hurting the pained one.
"Come here, I'll take you to my hut to treat that wound" Knuckles took a hold of the fox. He gently pulled him up and carried him all the way to his lair.
Not another word was said, only the waving of the sea and the chants of the voices of the forest, making a gentle melody that relaxed the body of the vulpine being carried away.
Tails was soon caught in a deep slumber, his tears still flowing trough his sapphire diamonds. The crimson guardian could now only glance at the fragile creature being held between his arms, and feel the warmness upon his chest, as the head of the vulpine was now comfortably resting against it.
This is definitely not the end of it, just the beggining. Hope you all liked it. Please review. A lot more to come, at least three more chapters, which I promise I'll try to make longer.
