A pink female echidna held the hand of a red furred child wearing spiked gloves as she ran out of the burning village. The little boy was about 3 or 4 years old though he could sense the terror all around him kept a strait face as he ran from his home closer and closer to the strange shrine. The woman ran over the bridge leading to the detached section of the city and up the crumbling steps where there was a podium for something but it seemed to be missing.

"Knuckles"she said as gently as she could through her panting, she pulled a green gem from her clothes as she spoke "be a good boy and as soon as mommy's off the island put this emerald right there"she motioned to the podium. Knuckles nodded obediently not knowing what was to become of him. "Protect it"she whispered "Protect it" she seemed to be talking to the gem but looking at him. She kissed him on the forehead and began to run.

"I think the wench went this way!"cried a voice from the village. She was off the island and Knuckles followed his orders and put the now glowing emerald into the space. A moment later there was a violent shake, Knuckles managed to keep his balance but another of the massive earthquakes knocked him off his feet. He suddenly felt the island was going up and he was going with it! He was about to run when 2 hands clamped down on his shoulders. He looked back terrified, but noted it was another girl she wore clothes of times past a skirt and white top of a powerful priestess. She also had a crown and necklace embeded with 2 blue stones, those of a princess. She shook her head and wore a grave look of sadness and agony. Knuckles clasped onto her fear flooded him, fear that had not been there when they were fleeing the city the fear of never seeing his mother again.
