Chapter 3. The Way to The Kingdom of Cerlia
Shadow and Amy were walking outside of the land of Pandonia when they finally reach the Dark Forest of Despair. Amy looked at the forest it had thick underbrush that spread between the trees, there was no beam of sunlight that slip through the forest, and was dark and deep. Amy stepped back away from the forest frightened then Shadow saw her looking scared so he took her hands and held it to him and said "I won't let anything happen to a beautiful girl like you." After what he said Amy felt her face blush ever before so she gave him a big smile and that made him blush a little on his muzzle. Shadow put her hands down and both of them enter into the forest.
When they both entered the forest they saw that most everything there was so dark that Amy had trouble finding were Shadow was. After hours walking in the forest Amy then felt her head having painful headaches making her stop walking and fall to the ground om her knees but then Shadow turned around seeing Amy on her knees and both of her hands on her head.
"ROSE!" Shadow shouted running up to her helping her up. "Are you okay? Shadow said anxious for her. Amy got up but was still in pain "No my head hurts so badly but I think I can manage it." Amy replied in pain. Shadow looked at Amy a little bit scared for her but got up and said "Alright I was just worried about you." Then the both of them started walking again. Amy still felt pain in her head but then a flashback came to her mind.
(Flashback)
Amy was in a gorgeous formal green dress that was full length it had tank straps, a pleated bodice, and a V-neckline. The straps cross over the low back and feature a beautiful pattern of rhimestones, jewels, sequins, and beads for a touch of elegance. The waistline features the rhimestone pattern and the long A-line skirt sits at the floor and a long train extends from the back of the dress. She had green high heel shoes and a golden tiara that was accented by a series of emeralds and pink topaz.
Amy was at a kingdom that was far away from the kingdom of Pandonia she was walking around in the castle but then she heard a shrieking voice behind her she turned to see a dark pink hedgehog being killed by someone. The person hold a bloody knife in his hand smiling widely then hearing him saying "Looks like your next darling." She was terrified then she turned back around running for life she ran out of the kingdom doors and into the woods.
(Flashback ended)
After that Amy was questioning herself "Why was I at that castle? and Who killed that dark pink hedgehog?" she was so confused it made her head even hurt more. Shadow turned around still seeing Amy in pain so he said "We should stay here for tonight till your head feels better" Shadow questioned.
"No I am ok" Amy said putting on a fake smile. Shadow was about to say something next but then the two heard a loud growling sound from behind. Shadow quickly got in front of Amy protecting her but then ,all of a sudden Amy was grabbed by a large dark green serpent it had yellow scales all over it's body, had blood red eyes, and sharp fangs poking out of it's mouth. Shadow! Amy shouted. Shadow turned around and sees that what shocks him. He sees Amy being wrapped around by the large serpent "Let go of her you son of a bitch!" Shadow shouted getting out his sword and stabbing the serpent at it's sided of it's body letting go of Amy. Shadow then grab Amy to safety away from the serpent. But then the serpent took it's tail and smacked Shadow's head hard against a tree then Amy ran up to Shadow to see if he was okay. Then the serpent charged up to attack the two Amy thought that this was the end.
"What were you two doing here in this kind of forest?" Episo said.
But then, all of a sudden a purple chameleon came out of no where and use one of his kunies to stab the serpent in the eye making it stop where it was. Then Shadow got back up running to the serpent and chop of it's head with his sword. When it was over Shadow went over to the purple chameleon and said "Thank you for helping us." The purple chameleon looked at Shadow for a minute but said "Your welcome we are my is Episo the Chameleon and what is your name?"
"My name is Shadow" then took his hand and motioned his hand to Amy and said "and this is Amy." Amy looked Episo he wore dark green t shirt, pig skin leather vest, black shoes ( like sonic's but pure black), white gloves, and a leather belt to hold his kunies.
"What are you two doing here in this kind of forest." Episo said concerned for them
"We are heading to the kingdom of Cerlia to protect the princess, Alicia from a evil ruler named Scourge. We are on a quest to find and protect the princesses from the other kingdoms and take down Scourge." Shadow said.
"Cerlia? I know where that is follow me." Episo requested.
So Shadow and Amy decided to follow Episo to the castle then after a couple hours roaming around the woods they finally reach the end of the forest and saw the kingdom of Cerlia. When they saw the castle Episo asked them a question.
"Can I come with you guys at this quest because I want payback for what he did to me." Episo said lowly.
Shadow and Amy looked at each other but then back at Episo with an answer. "You can come but why do you want payback at Scourge?" Amy said confused.
It took Episo a few minutes to came up with an answer but he finally answered "A long time ago my family and I were perfectly happy nothing went wrong but one day when Scourge was trying to take over Pandonia my mom, dad, and little brother were captured and killed by him. I promise one day I would get revenge on him what he done to me."
Amy walk towards Episo and patted his shoulder she look up at him and said "I'm sorry for your lost but we will take down Scourge once for all."
"Thank you" Episo said.
Then they started to head out when they almost got to the kingdom of Cerlia. Amy started having her bad headaches again. She was in pain once again she couldn't ignore this kind of pain this was different. Then Shadow and Episo looks at Amy to see her in pain so the both run towards her to see what's wrong.
"Amy what's wrong?" Shadow said worried for her.
"My head hurts again for some reason I don't know why it hurts so much." Amy said in pain. Then she felt her head heavy and her vision getting blurly making her pass out. When she pass out Shadow caught her just in time before she would fall down on the ground.
"Rose wake up!" shadow shouted shaking her to wake her up but it wasn't working.
Then someone stepped out of the castle and saw what was happening and ran towards them. "Oh my what happened." the person shouted.
Shadow and Episo turned to see a angle wolf that wore a long, form fitted light blue gown that is accented with silver colored trim on the arms, waist, and white satin lining on the arm tippets. The skirt features a white satin panel inset in the front. The sleeves have satin lined tippets hanging down from the upper arm and a more fitted lower arm. The gown is fitted at the waist and bodice and then flares out from the hips in a skirt that drapes beautifully. She had light blue high heel shoes and silver tiara that was accented by a series of aquamarine and topaz.
"Who are you?" Episo said.
"I am Alica, the princess of Cerlia but enough about me take her inside she looks like she needs help." Alicia said.
Shadow and Episo nodded so Shadow pick her up bridal style and all of them walked into the castle.
