Chapter 2: The Training of the True Wolf

As she started to stir the next morning, something was very different. For one, she was sleeping on a cloud of soften with blankets that were as warm as a fire type and as soft as Flaffy wool; which was the weird thing, cuz she was used to sleeping on the hard ground hiding in the grass for the night or on a tree branch staring up at the night sky with all of its twinkling wondors until she fell asleep, wondoring who she was and where she came from, she was draw from her thoughts by an impatient sound.

"It's about time you got up.", a deep voice grumbled.

"Five more mins, master it not even training time yet,", I mumbled.

Smoke was blown into my face, "firstly, I'am not that black hedgehog that you call "master", secondly, get up already! the sun is already in the sky,"

I was already up when the fumes hit my sensitive nose, it was so toxic, that it made me cough a little. When I finally did get to sitting on the warm bed, I nocited the hole; where the door of the cave should have been, but instead there was the female charizard that I saw yesterday, she was on all four claws so she could fit.

"I thought that the morning would be the best time for flying, but what do I see when I come in here to get you hum?, you still snoozing the day away!", blowing an other puff of smoke out of her nostrils in frustration.

"Then let's go now, I go change and -"

"No no, let's just go we already wasted enough time.", slowly backing up so her wings, scales, or tail flame didn't hit anything on accident.

"Aww! freedom at last." She stand on her hang legs to her full hight of 5'07, flapping her blue purplish wings, like a stray bird wanting to return to the sky. She had a brown saddle strapped around her back, it looked so out of place with her orange body and white belly.

"Well? don't look at me crazy, get on already and we can hit the sky's."

I got on her with nervousness to boot, but as I learned over the years never at any price question someone's judgment, now don't be wrong she was no Marsheep she just knew when to just go with it.

The fire lizard waited for me to get my feet in the saddle's foot straps, but as soon as I did she got at a running start, I was so startled that I hid my head in her neck, I was already holding it for protection.

"Look up young wolf, you mat like what you see."

She was right, it was about almost mid day with the sun beside us we were gliding high in the sky clouds lazy rolling along by their own speed, I could see a small valley under us, the mountain that hid it, the forest that was my home for past years, and something I have never seen before, at last I don't remember, it was blue and sparkled just like my necklace.

"Char Char, what is that?", I asked while pointing at the beauty.

She looked where I was pointing, then turn her head around to look at me with a longing look. "that would be the sea."

I wanted to ask more, but before I could she surprised me again by taking a deep dive down towards our dead, the funny thing is I was enjoying it. The wind blowing fast through my fur, but just as we going to plummet into the hard ground nose first, Char Char pulled up her wings at the last min to make a small glide to safety.

"Lets do that again", I chanted with a fist in the air.

Chucking, "maybe next time" lazy flapping her wings then gliding again, "but now we have to get you to your next mentor."

As she flew over the valley my mind was starting to wonder again, but this time it was not a lost memory, no this felt like the migraines that she had not told anyone about, but sadly she had a feeling Sonic knew, he always knew when she was in pain he just choose not to talk about it.

When the pain finally pasted, I noticed that we were over a battle field and getting ready to land. When her claws hit the dirt, a red creautre as high as Shadow with dreads just like Sonic with spikes on his knuckles came running up to us.

"Well, you took your sweet time didn't you?", a gruff deep voice said.

"What can I say? I lost tract of time in the sky's and sleepyhead was enjoying her new bed.", she chuckled in amusement.

I glared at the back of her head, (Not My Fault!) it looked like the red head was frustrated as well with her reply to his question.

With a black tick mark form on his head, it look like he was ready to get into a fight,

"Well next time, pay more attention to the sun's rays! We don't have all the time in the world to wast!", he yelled

"Yeah yeah take a chill pill once in a while Knucklehead, but you do have a point" she got on all fours, that way I could get off easier. "see ya around kid and tomorrow be ready by when I get there.", she said before taking to the sky's again.

After I watched her fly away, I turn around to (chuckle, knucklehead)

Crossing his arms, "So your alive? I thought when you left I would never have to see you again.", he said then made a cocky smile on his face.

I tilt my head to side, "am sorry do I know you?"

Uncrossing his arms to his side, "no I guess you wouldn't, come on we are behind as much as it is.", turning around and getting ready to run across the plains, like an animal being hunted as prey.

"Before we go can I ask you a question?"

He didn't answer back, but he also didn't move on.

"Who gave Char Char her awesome black spiked cooler and her nickname?"

He turned his head around alittle to look at me with same cocky smile, "you did", and we started to run.

It wasn't as fast as when Char Char was flying, but I still felted the feral. Our distnation was what looked like a shopkeeper's place, we walked in like we own the place.

"TAILS YOU HOME!"

I had to cover my ears to keep my hearing.

"He really gets into his work to the point that he won't hear you,", he grumbled.

As I was going to comment on his statement when a young yellow two tailed fox came up to meet us, he looked as young as eleven, but he also looked older with the parts of his fur was burned, the sweat on his forehead, gram and brun marks on paws. You could tell he was a hard worker for his young age and he love what he did.

"Knuckle how many times do I have to tell you? just come and get me when you need something!"

When he stop his ranting he finally noticed me his eyes when wide.

"L L Lady Frost you have returned.", he stuttered.

My eyes flashed bright blue for a sec as I stated, "My Name Is Crystal Not Frost", from ranned teeth.

"Of course Crystal, I forgot about that", he ruled his hands nervously, "would you like to see my work shop?", he then asked with bright eyes.

"Not today Tails, I just brought the White One to pick up our weapons and meet you", said Knuckles. While he was say this he walked up to a wall were my sword and my was fan spead like a hand, were hanging up next to them, was a red chain white spiked ball.

"Come on there a training field out back.", he waved his hand for me to follow.

In the low grass field they took ten paces from each other and when they turned away from each other, they got into their own stands.

As he gave me a cocky smirk, I could have swear I was fighting Sonic, back in the old days. So I gave him a determine glare with a small smile of my own back.

"Lets dance."

"Show time"

This baby took me exactly four days to write, plus this morning to finish it up and am happy on how it came out. Happy late Hallloween
