True Blue: Chapter 1 - My story.
It was sunrise. The sun rose and settled in the morning sky, igniting it a fiery orange/yellow color.
Over a lush green rainforest graised many an animal. As the sun rose, light yellow sunshine reflected on a small doctrine. The light was almost perpetual. Plant life could bee seen as far as eyesight could see. The Earth, rich with minerals and soil, sat oddly stationary, as if expecting something. It was quite possibly the closest thing to paradise.
However, Paradise it would not be for long. For with all this beauty, it could not stop the horrors that would come at sunrise.
A few minutes had passed, and suddenly a quiet, solemn, shadowy figure hidden in a long, brown cloak stalked by the doctrine. Stopping short of a murky puddle, the figure removed its hood, revealing thin, green spikes, upon a rather large, green-fur covered head. A brooding frown upon his face, he looked down upon the puddle, and even through the murky waters of it, the eyes upon his face could still be seen, shining a grim, dark red. The Hedgehog spoke his first words among the mini paradise. "I made a promise to Nate.. I cannot avoid the war-hungry hand of my father anymore. I must repent for the betrayal of my tribe and treason against it. This is invisible mark upon my soul; it burdens and drains my very life. My father... he must be stopped."
Slowly rising his hands to his face, he adjusting his black-striped white gloves, a rabbit hopped cautiously towards the hedgehog. Its long ears perked up high, wary of a possible threat. Suddenly, the red in his eyes disappeared, and cascaded into a light hazel. Blinking twice, he rubbed his eyes and noticed the white rabbit. "Well, hello there little friend. Up a little early, aren't you?" Raising his forearm, he reached his arm out to pet the mammal. The Rabbit, its whiskers drooped low, stepped forward and welcomed the hand, and was pet. Its nose twitched, and it quickly pounced away behind a tree, peeking slowly to ensure its safety. The hedgehog sighed, and drew his hand back into his sleeved cloak. Treading off slowly, and then picking up a running pace. He dashed of at the speed of sound. Just like that, he was gone.
The rabbit blinked, and bounded off in search of a safe haven.
It had smelled blood.
Furiously dashing onwards for a time, the green hedgehog eventually stopped and took a breath of fresh air in a small clearing. ".. Ha-ha, hah. I am tuckered out. Chalk it up to old age. Heh heh..." Sighing quietly to himself, he drew another breath and whispered quietly. "... Hmm. This could be the last I see of the outside world... Might as well enjoy the view..." Taking quick, short steps, sticks and leaves cracked under his shoes. Coming out towards a steep cliff, he looked down upon the hustle and bustle of a nearby city. Removing his cloak, his body was revealed.
As expected, his entire body was covered in green fur. The scars of a teenager's nightmare smothered every inch of his back. A strong crosswind blew by. He winced in pain, crouching down on his left knee. After a few moments of silence, a smirk crossed his face, and he stood once more. He took yet another deep breath and went into speech.
"Hello, wanderer. Wherever or whoever you may be, I am glad you are here, to listen to my story. I am... MajinTobias. I go by MT for short. My story, though longwinded, tells a tale of many emotions. Defiance, Hatred, A lust for battle, Friendship, and things of the sort. It changes the way my homeland sees their land. A deep fear had left my people frightened, with no wandering thoughts. What caused this, was, my dear reader, Tyranny. You see, as a prince of my homeland, I was smothered by my parents, and never saw the error of their ways. The cruelties and brutality my people saw... I was blind to it. The tactics they used bewildered me. Not standing for this, in my youth, I was rebellious of my father, and left the tribe at a young age. It all began when-..
He continued speaking, intending to finish it to the end. It was here that MT and the forest background behind him faded into white, flashing back to his past.
End of Chapter 1.
