He tried to sleep, tried to dream, but was kept awake by the thought of the spark, he tried to come up with a reasonable explanation, static discharge caused by his fur was one such theory, but time and time again the thought that kept coming back like a boomerang was that it had truly been magic. Magic, it was impossible, the physics he knew were screaming bloody murder in his mind, it wasn't possible to just channel chemical energy into electrical through force of will, and yet he had done it all the same. Tails tossed about in his bed, twin tails hanging off the sides and frequently moved and twisted the blanket hoping a new position might bring sleep, of course it was futile and he eventually resigned himself to staring at the ceiling and wondering until the first rays of the morning pierced his window. As he had laid in the bed he had put his hands up and focused, and though it took time, a spark would eventually jump, he practiced until it only took seconds of concentrating, and soon found himself able to produce the spark at will, he tried to think of mechanical uses for his new found power, and chuckled as he toyed with the thought of making the tornado's back up power himself. Finally seeing the dawning sun, he pushed himself from the bed and went to the room directly across from his where his was and quickly showered before heading downstairs and looking for something to sate his appetite. Walking into the kitchen he opened a cupboard and poured himself a bowl of cereal and sat down and began eating, though he ate quite slowly as throughout the entire time he read from the book, flipping pages with one hand and using his spoon to shovel cereal in his mouth.

It all seemed so vast now, as if a veil had been pierced, realizing there was more to the world than he had ever imagined, just what was possible he wondered, and as he leafed through the book a blue figure crept up in front of him, and so enthralled by the book was Tails he didn't even realize until Sonic jumped and gave out a loud "Boo!" The cereal went flying and Tails frightened yelp woke those twenty minutes away, the fox was seething as he tried to pick bits of soggy cereal out from his fur as Sonic started rolling on the ground laughing, Tails smirked wickedly and placed his hands on Sonic's chest, the hedgehog looked at the hands with confusion for a moment before he started talking. "Yo Tails what exactly do you think your..AHHGh" He jumped backwards muscles twitching from the shock as he tripped moving backwards and got his spines stuck in the wall behind him. The struggle was too much and now it was the fox's turn to laugh and he did so as Sonic attempted to futilely pull himself out of the wall, eventually when his laughter died down Tails reached out a hand, which Sonic carefully inspected before grabbing it and with Tails help was pulled out of the wall, chunks of plaster coating his spines and shoulders which he quickly started dusting off. "Ok lil bro, ya got me, so what was that anyway, I didn't see a joy buzzer? Some new invention you planning on beating egg belly with?" Tails laughed at the comment as he proceeded to create the small spark jump from his hands again as a demonstration for the confused hedgehog, his confusion only increased as afterwards he grabbed Tails hand and began inspecting the glove as closely as he could, poking at every part of it. At last he gave up and asked. "I don't see any machines Tails, so how'd you do it?" Tails put a large grin on as he responded quite simply, Magic, the look on the hedgehogs face was one of disbelief and skepticism. "You trying to tell me that book you found taught you, magic, magic as in wizards, fireballs and all that kooky stuff. I'll believe that the same day I believe Eggman's secretly the good guy."

Tails sighed because of his brothers lack of faith and then proceeded to remove his gloves, it was a rare occasion as he never took them off, though Sonic would sleep without his gloves Tails had long ago decided it was just easier to wear them all the time, and so when he removed his gloves he heard Sonic gasp, and when he looked down he instantly recognized why. His hands last time he had checked had been the vibrant hands of a nine year old, the hands had the same color or orange fur as he did, but what he saw weren't the hands of a nine year olds, the fur was grey, and aged and just around the edges where it had thinned out wrinkle lines could be seen on the skin, not the hands of a child as he had expected, but the hands of an older man greeted him. "WHa…What's going on, why…Sonic I'm …, what happened!" The hedgehog was quick to put an arm around his little brother who had rapidly growing tears forming in his eyes, it was so unexpected, he held his hands out and looked at them in astonishment, realization dawned and he quickly ran out of his brothers comfort as he ran and retrieved his book, he had scanned over the three pages of index, but as held the book now a horrible realization hit him, if he had been seriously looking at the index instead of flipping randomly he would have noticed it, but now he did, two pages of the index were stuck together. With the pages separated he read the new entries, and the names were of a horrifying nature to the young fox. "The dangers of Magic, Hazards of spell casting, Mana burns a

nd other assorted magical ailments, illnesses commonly associated" He read these grim entries aloud before flipping to the page marked The Dangers of Magic, by then Sonic had joined him and was concerned to see his friend pouring over the book a frightened look in his eye as he read from the page, tears threatening to spill. "The dangers of Magic are threefold, one, any person with a talent for Magic is often of an obsessive nature by default, this can likely lead to few friends, a sense of isolation and in extreme cases development of paranoia and other metal difficulties. Two, any person who begins learning magic will find it extremely addictive and in only very rare cases are they able to stop entirely. Three, the use of magic relies on an inner life force and by using and manipulating it, the average life spans of wizards who are unaided is drastically reduced, usually between 26-34 years of age. The usual progression of what is commonly referred to as "Wizards waste" is an aging of the hands where most magical energy is focused, followed by a rapid decline in sense of sight and smell, followed by muscle fatigue, bone brittleness and finally hemorrhaging of the brain…" Tails stopped, tears ran down his cheeks and he shook as he grasped the book tightly against his chest and Sonic through his arms around him and in a shaky voice started. "Little bud, maybe it's not that, I mean it could be something else, anything else, and if it is…I know how strong you are so I bet you could stop and be just fine, right bud." Sonic tried to sound strong for his best friend, but inside he was horrified, outliving his little brother, watching him waste away and so addicted to casting spells he couldn't stop, it was a horrifying thought, Tails nestled into Sonic's chest tears soaking into his peach stomach as he tried to soothe him. At last Tails tears became little streams and Sonic rubbed his back, Tails choked out an obvious catch in his voice. "Sonic I'm… I don't want to die, I want to stop, but…what if I can't…I…I'm sorry Sonic, I'm so sorry for picking up that dumb book." Sonic continued to rub his back as the last of the fox's tears slid from his eyes, then a cough was heard, Tails looked at Sonic and Sonic did the same, it hadn't been either of them making the sound.

Then a voice rose, a little awkward though filled with authority and purpose as he spoke. "I am sorry to intrude, but I feel it is my duty to inform you of some very good news, young Tails? As I believe you referred to him has already demonstrated a magical aptitude, and though it is true he will waste if he remains here there is a way for him to live a very long and happy life, and he will be allowed to return here after a period of five years minimum if that is his wish." The duo spun around to face the voices source, with Tails wiping his eyes dry with his forearm as he turned, and there before them stood a human, though very unlike Robotnik in a great many ways as they observed, he was thin, and held light blond hair and dark grey eyes, he wore a cloak with a number of satchels and holsters for the myriad of arcane oddities no doubt buried within. He had on a smile, or rather a very sheepish grin which Tails for some reason felt the need to copy as he scratched the back of his head, Sonic however was very put out by his presence, in fact as he began talking his voice had an edge generally reserved for Robotnik. "Now just wait a minute, you come here the second my little buddy gets sick, promising a way to help him, if I let you drag him off to who knows where! Nuhuu not happening, you could be one of Robotnik's bots and this all some sick trap to capture by buddy Tails here and I'm not falling for it." The man put his hands in front of him and started shaking his head a nervous look to him as he quickly blurted out his explanation. "No, no you have me all wrong; I'm from the Aetherium College of magical study, were dedicated to helping those in young Tails predicament, we train them how to safely study magic without any of the adverse side effects, you'll be able to visit, and send mail to him, it's just that the existence of the College is a relatively well kept secret and we would like to begin as soon as possible so he doesn't deteriorate any more, though it would take a long time for his health to be in serious jeopardy we like to keep our students in the best possible health." With his rough explanation blurted out Sonic moved to make a retort when Tails hand reached out and grabbed Sonic's arm, the hedgehog turned to look at his brother and he saw it fill his eyes, hope, he already knew what was going to happen, so Sonic bent down and gave his brother a hug which they shared, as the stranger looked away a sudden overwhelming interest in the ceiling. When they last parted from each other's embrace the man spoke up again.

"Please pack anything you wish to bring, as you won't be making a return for five years at the minimum, also, Sonic, I believe, you will be allowed to write letters all you want and by simply placing them in the box which I will provide you they will make it to Tails, but as for visiting, it can only be once every year, any more than that and certain risks apply, I hope you understand and know we will not let any harm come to him, I'll leave you two alone for awhile, Tails I will be waiting in the front yard, whenever you are ready. With that the man walked out the front door and Sonic followed Tails into his room where he was slowly picking up objects, weighing them in both weight and emotional value before placing them either to the side, or in the backpack he had pulled from his closet. Sonic rested and arm on his brothers shoulder, still in shock as to what was happening, when Tails started to speak, his voice catching and a small tear running down his cheek. "I'm really going to miss you bro…I'll be alright so you don't need to worry about me just…give Eggman a good thrashing for me please. Don't worry it won't be for that long, and well write each other every day right!" Sonic nodded his head as Tails grabbed the last item to be placed in his back pack, a framed picture of him and Sonic standing on the cliff in his backyard smiling with the bright sunrise directly behind him, as Tails walked to the door, Sonic made a quick pit stop in the kitchen and returned in a blink of an eye, he handed Tails a Tupperware container filled with chilidogs as he voiced his goodbye. "Never know when you can get another one of these so I want you to have them. I'm really going to miss ya little buddy, but I'll write you every day, just please be careful, and tell me if you're not having a good time at any point and I'll come running. You know I love you bro, and I'll always be there if you need me, even if I have to Chaos control myself to wherever you're going, I'll be there." The two walked out arms slung across the shoulders of one another as they approached the waiting man. "Ready to go, Good, I forgot to properly introduce myself, my name is Sol, it is a pleasure to meet you Tails, and has been a pleasure, Sonic, but we have a long journey, both spiritually and figuratively, so let us not waste more time." Tails watched his brother wave goodbye, and waved back as he was engulfed in a brilliant violet light, and the world seemed to speed around him at a pace Sonic couldn't even dream of, then like a flash of lightning they stopped, and Tails instantly gripped his gut for fear of vomiting when he looked up and saw it, the grounds were truly a marvel, and he knew this would be his home for the time being, and was excited by the prospect. On Mobius Sonic sat on the couch and looked to the spot Tails would so often sit and gave out a sigh, he snapped his fingers and quickly ran to the nearest desk and started scribbling down his first letter to Tails, if his little brother of 9 was already in a college, the hedgehog would look like a fool if he couldn't write a good letter, and he was determined not to let that happen.
