(*"lyrics"* means that It's words from Dreams of an Absolution, LB vs. JS version, FYI)
Prologue
The flames…I still remember them, burning away at our world, but, they were reassuring, at least then I knew if I were dead or alive. I still remember when I thought I lost her forever…at least now, she's by my side, she always had been, I just didn't realize how much I needed her, and how she needed me…
Chapter One ~ From the past…or your future…

It was evening of the day November 13th…
It'll be my 16th birthday when I wake up tomorrow…
I fell asleep, drifting off into my memories…
*"And every night…"*
It's just the same…every night…it's reliving it all…it's horrible…
I found myself back, only eleven, Blaze beside me, well, a nine year old Blaze. She shielded me from Iblis's flames. A pillar of fire appeared from a crack the rock surface of another fallen building. There was melted metal slowly sliding toward us…I yelled, well, the current me…I held off the metal, and the pillar, but those were more warnings…Iblis, in the form he normally took, chunks of debris making up a hold on his being, the lava, so he could try to kill Blaze and I…He wanted no survivors, so he could merge with Mephiles without complications, and especially no survivors who could fight him…But he wanted to kill no one more than the one who held his curse and could seal him away…But we didn't know about this back then…It was just flames, I was shoved back, falling into the building, into a room. I yelled in the past, flying up to try and help her, but I just made out her reply.
"Silver! Stay down!" A nine-year-old lilac cat yelled at him, fighting something few ever survived seeing in person.
She kicked me down, I heard her slam onto the ground, and I saw Iblis growing close…
My eyes snapped open, I sat straight up. Looking around me I saw I was in my bedroom. Relieved, I got up and put on a white T-shirt and a pair of denim jeans. Heading out, I met up with Shadow.
I sighed, I wished it were Blaze or Sonic that I met first. Maybe even Marine, even though she was very enthusiastic about everything. Shadow never could smile if he tried, little less be a slight bit happy about anything. Unless Maria was with him, then Shadow actually shown a sign he wasn't an emotionless robotic creature, like Metal. The again, everyone thought the same of Blaze, but at least she was much kinder than Shadow, anyways.
"Hey Shadow!" I said, trying to lighten the mood, as he gave off an aura of depiction of everyone and everything.
I could sense auras, so could Blaze, it was due to the Sol Emeralds. They were parts of Solaris's soul, and had extraordinary power. Blaze, the Sol Guardian, granted me the ability to harness their power. Solaris, due to the dark side of him, Mephiles the Dark, could harness auras, so naturally, Solaris and the pieces of his soul could too.
"Hello, Silver…" Shadow murmured.
"So…where's Maria?" I asked cautiously, Shadow had a short fuse, he'd go off at the slightest touch.
"Dunno, haven't seen her since yesterday's date." Shadow, who was 19, almost 20 years of age, replied.
Everyone knew Shadow and Maria, and Sonic and Amy were official couples. I remember how thrilled Amy was, after chasing Sonic around for about 12 years, hoping to go out with him, when he finally asked her out to a date.
"'Ello, Silva mate!" It was the cheery Australian accented voice of Marine.
"Hey, Marine." I waved her way.
I leapt with joy inside when I saw who was behind Marine.
Blaze.
"Hello, Silver. How are you today?" Blaze inquired.
"Fine, how about yourself?" Silver inquired back.
"Good, while the four of us are here, what should we do?" Blaze contentedly asked.
They sat down on a bench, except for Shadow, who stood, staring into the distance.
"Something, I suppose…" Shadow mumbled under his breath.
"'Course we'll do something', Shadow. Cheer up, matey." Marine piped in.
Shadow cheering up? As likely as Sonic swimming in the ocean according to his own will.
Shadow rolled his eyes,
"I'm heading out, I'll go see if I can find Maria…" The black-and-red hedgehog ran off, skating on his rocket-shoes.
Chapter One – Calm, composed and concealed.

I looked at Silver in his T-shirt and jeans, feeling as though I was blushing. I looked away, hoping nobody noticed. Shadow had also just skated out of eyesight.
"Now it's jus' us three, whaddya wanna be doin' mates?" Marine asked in her heavy accent.
"I surely would prefer letting the one with a birthday chose." I replied.
Silver's eyes lit up, as if he had thought no one remembered.
How could I of all people, forget something as important as that?
"Well, why don't we see if we can hook up with the others?" Silver questioned.
"Sure." I was happy to respond.
We got up from the beautiful garden's white bench, and heading off in the direction Shadow just disappeared to.
After a while, we saw Sonic and Shadow arguing, Maria behind them, nervous to intervene.
Amy on the other hand, was completely different from Maria, pulling out her Piko-Piko Hammer and striking it between the bickering hedgehogs.
That shut 'em up.
"'Ello!" Marine chirped, in spite of the tense aura surrounding the vicinity.
Sonic and Shadow glared at her, Maria weakly waved and smiled, and Amy grinned, leaning of her Piko-Piko Hammer.
"Hello Marine! Good day?" Amy asked cheerily.
"Yep, and Silva too. It's 'is 16th, that right mate?" Marine replied.
"Well, congrats to that Silver." Amy smiled.
Silver, Marine, Tails, Cream, and I were much younger than everyone else. Silver just turned 16, Marine is 11, so is Tails, and Cream is 9, I'm 13, almost 14. Tomorrow to be honest. November 15th.
"It'll be Blaze's at dawn tomorrow, right mate?" Marine added.
I remained calm and concealed as Silver put his arm around my shoulders;
"Silver…" I glared at him.
He removed his arm, and Amy shared a knowing look with Marine.
"What?" Silver and I asked the two girls in unison.
"Nothing," Amy confided,
"Nothin' at all mate, why'd ya ask?" Marine lied.
There's something fishy going on here…
