In a dark abyss that lies just beyond the floor, in a dungeon room to dark to call a treasure, there lies an old Mobius hero scraping for respect among the various forms monsters that have unfortunately found light in his tale. Here is where the tale of revenge starts, although it's sweet like the blood of your fallen foes and fruitful like the limbs that fly, the cause can be painful and sour. Sour like the unripe honey the bee abandons, sour like the white page on a mental block, sour like the red knuckles of a crazed enchinda. The wheel always seems to spin this kind of fate around those who have been too ignorant around their companions, their so called brothers, or sisters. Upon them, the hand of destiny has struck fountains of despair and dislike from their harsh fellow men, the people they trusted too keep them safe have now turned them sorrow. Sorrow, like that of a mad enchinda seeking his own worth. Why did they do it, why betray me? Hmph! No matter they're own fall for temptation has led me astray, but worry not for I too shall find my own temptation and from it bring my own wrath, the wrath that shall bring them their own sorrow, the sorrow that shall take the wings by the end and drag their land unto the heat of hell. Mobius, I shall return for you!
"What do you really consider to be the drive behind one's thirst for revenge?
Or too better the question, what do you consider to be the path for an unholy completion?"
Not being misty again, the clock ticks twelve..
"Aren't you going to reply partner?", the essence shifted slightly to the back and rested itself on a nearby broken rock. The stream that trickled down the cave seemed to stop and rest at a position, slowly descending into dark spaces below the bank.
It was surprising he saw this much detail, less so that he was ignoring the demons question.
"Are you listening to me, King of Mobius?"
His head spiked towards the empty space as the last words were drawn out of the empty red essence that covered the walls. Resisting to urge to attack and fail like several times before, the blue hedgehog simply took to resorting to speech communication.
"I'm not the king..."
He bent his head downwards and tore off an old pale bandage with his canine pair.
"... not anymore"
The essence moved slowly grinned and moved forward at this response, dampening the air with an arousal of a darker entity.
"Would you like to be?"
Sonic sighed at the question before spitting out the last bit of torn bandage from his arm. He slowly leaned himself backwards and placed his body on a careen structure that have formed not too long earlier.
He cleared his throat, scratched a scar and opened his red eyes.
"What do you think?"
It moved in closer, surrounding the front arc of his body like a burning flame regulated by a strong shield. The church had taught him too much, so he recognized the movement, the demons charisma, valor and arc shape. It wasn't just here for another friendly conversation, today was different, today it wanted something more, not just blood or a strong fight. It wanted his body, Sonic's body, the damn thing was circling around for a possession!
He quickly stood up and whipped out his cross, placing his left two fingers on his waist and his right hand firmly on the crosses center, just like he had always been taught...
"Don't try anything stupid or I swear to the Mobius deity, I will smite you back to your wrath!"
The red mist settled slowly, receding back to it's former position with utmost ease giving an eerie amount of giggling all the way.
"Oh come on, we were just having fun"
A structure of a red humanoid began to form on the rock.
"Say, hedgehog, what do you consider family?"
Sonic ignored the question, still keeping his stance solid with his feet strongly etched unto the ground, he tightened his grip on cross and centered his eyes on the essence.
"Really, you can stop now. I'm really feeling way too tired to fight anyone today"
The humanoid stretched both his arms out and opened his dark mouth wide trying its best to imitate the real act of 'yawning', Sonic didn't buy it.
"Oh dude, come on! I really just want to talk, you really need to loosen-"
"Shut up!"
The humanoid quickly bobbed its head to face Sonics, surprised at his quick retort.
Sonic slowly put his cross back in his pouch before he sat back down with calamity, he removed his pouch from his shoulder and threw it next to a moss covered rock that laid beside him.
"What do I consider family, you say?"
He cleared his throat and with precision, began to recite his written dream for vengeance.
"Family is a target ground for the little feet that waver from the burnt womb. It sears you like a poor animal and stings you with a supposed amount of responsibility. One that all members must follow in order to get their own bargain of the fathers cut, that's a kingdom for you. No friendship, only war between siblings, blood for money, blood for respect."
The demon perked it's ears and cut in with an answer.
"That's a typical castle society Sonic, your family will always compete for the better position of king or leadership"
Sonic coughed up some stubborn throat spit and quickly responded.
"But this wasn't a normal societal relationship, this time I actually cared about my family members"
He paused and wiped his forehead.
"They left me here, to die, to rot, do you know how that feels Polad?, to have your own friends leave you for the sake of maintaining their own sickened government, who did the people select me to rule the City? Oh that's right, it was me! Who was the most respected warrior to ever walk the glide of the Mobius skylines? Oh wait, that's right again, it was still me! I cannot fathom theire betrayal, this wasn't some kind of retort against me for better city control or some fear of leaving Mobius to the wrong hands. It was just a case of cold hearten jealousy!"
Sonic kicked his pouch violently onto the sides and flicked his bloody ear to ward of an annoying bug.
"Well you do have some blood on your hands, remember what you did to that guy?"
Sonic rolled his eyes and perched from the rock to walk around the room.
"Oh come on! Everyone's angry because I sent a mental scientist to where he belongs. No one said anything when he cracked the earth in two, destroyed the animal barrier or freed that 'thing' from the Ever-Space!"
"All those were very passable problems, most people didn't like how you finally dealt with the issue"
"Listen, I don't want to talk about egg-man, he's dead, he's dead. Lets not get out heads in a twist about it"
Sonic bent down near the stream to look at his reflection, checking for any more signs of growing canine teeth or scarred fur. The demon, still in humanoid shape, got up from it's rock and began to move towards his position at a short.
"Just like you twisted him on that faithful day?"
"You want to go into the gory details, just look out for the tornado effect in a book or something. It would give you a good sense of how that fat bastard ended up all over Mobius"
"Gross, Sonic"
"Yeah well you're a demon, that shouldn't come too much as a shock too something like you"
The room was quiet, Sonic scraped off one last termite from his face and resumed his stare into the slightly discolored water. He never knew what scared him the most about looking down into the streams, whether it was the possibility of a surprise attack from the monstrous fish that lived in it's constraint or the appearance of his pale-blue face. The prolonged effects of staying in this cavern were beginning to finalize into his mental image. Over the years of his entrapment his skin had adopted a pale color from the lack of light in the dungeons, his teeth had grown more hostile due to the repeated offense he had taken on the monsters that attacked him and his eyes...
His eyes were ever red and blood-shot with crimson, an unforeseen effect obtained from having too much contact with Polad. His fights with hum had also given him a much more buffer stature, he had a larger chest, bigger calves and a greater more deadlier array of spikes on the back of his head.
"Do you want to be a demon Sonic?"
"That's not possible"
Polad sighed and slowly shook his head, lifeforms (whether it be mobians or humans) could be very stupid at times.
"I mean do you want to be possessed?"
Sonic abruptly got up and turned around to face Polad, the humanoid form had seriously settled unto the plane of reality. Nothing seem distorted or unreal, this entire ordeal was a serious pact that the demon was offering, not another sick attempt and trying to claim a life form. He never really took this proposition as a serious thought, but now that he had finally poured out the final pieces of his heart to the creature...
"I do have a few conditions, but I'm very tempted at the offer"
