Alexa the hedgehog

Chapter 2 Alexa

The light shone through the windows rousing her from sleep …. Wait a minute who was she? She got out of the bed and put on the clothes neatly folded by the bed she was in. Fine silk and rougher denim, what an odd combination.

"Well hello sleepy head," said a voice from behind her. She screamed throwing her hands to her not fully covered breasts and hoping she gave him a good enough heart attack to make him think twice about scaring her. Although in her actions she knocked down a book on the bedside table.

"Who are you ," she said just as loudly as she screamed while she scrambled to turn away blushing, she proceeded to put her shirt on fully.

"Funny I was just about to ask you the same. Well in any case my name is Arcanus High magister and physician of Arcopescal city, now what is your name."

"Shameless echidna's ," she thought as she wondered exactly what her name was. She started to hang her head because she knew she could not remember. But she saw the book, it had landed open on a page and it was apparently the start of the third chapter. The title was a name so she decided to roll with it. "My name is …. Alexa." It felt right Alexa decided . "Um so Arcopescal you say where is that?"

"For one as traveled as a Seraphim Knight I would expect you to know that Arcopescal is in the Kingdom of Elysium" the Echidna, Arcanus said.

" What's a Seraphim Knight?" Alexa asked

"A Seraphim Knight is a warrior who is born and lives for most, if not all their life guarding the gates of hell," The echidna said with seeming pride "So because it seems that you have lost all of your memory the best solution would be to go in the, go three doors to the left and wake up Lila my assistant. She will take you to the hot springs with her for a morning bath and then I would like you to come back okay."

"I guess," Alexa responded and then doing as she was told, for she knew not what else to do, she left the room

As Alexa walked out Arcanus called for his messenger bird, Chappi with a Whistle.

"Go to Melodi's House and tell her that Her guest is awake all right," Arcanus requested of the bright green little fellow. Of the bird flew as Arcanus heard the screams that could only be of one meeting a seedian for the first time.

Melodi was cooking breakfast for her and her guest Phoenix for he did not know how to cook anything.

Sizzling bacon and buttery bread filled the air as she served them while Phoenix bathed. But when Chappi flew in Melodi forgot her manners and scarfed down the rest of her food and ran out the door. As she ran, she said hello to the people of the town Gold the leader of unit leaders in the city guard, and crystal the blacksmith toiling away at this year's prize for the tournament. She felt the gentle caress of the wind, like a mother's caring hand. Then she rounded the bend and dashed in the straight line that it was to Her master's Door

Normally, she would have said hello to Lila going into Arcanus's house today she was early and Lila was bathing, so she just sauntered into the house. Well maybe more like barreled in than sauntered.

When she saw Arcanus she began saying "When are we going to talon spike," but instead of letting her speak Arcanus shushed her and said "Talon spike crumbled this morning without warning so we can't teach you wind and you're not ready for quake chasm so I'm truly sorry." This completely killed the smile and excitement in melodi leaving her saddened.

"However I have god news. The girl you brought in yesterday woke up and should be coming back in soon." As the words left his mouth two figures appeared in the doorway. One the seedian maid Lila, the other the snow white hedgehog she saved the day prior.

Amazed at how efficient the towel they used for drying was Alexa put on her clothes and walked back into the house with Lila. As expected the echidna was there but with him there was a little blue cat girl looking at her with wonder in her eyes.

"Daijoubu" she said. Alexa turned to the echidna to ask two questions.

"Firstly what are your names?"

The echidna said that his name was Arcanus and the the young girl's was Melodi.

"Secondly what did she say?"

The little girl- no Melodi looked shocked as if that was a truly stupid question.

"Sorry Alexa I forgot you aren't native to Arcopescale," Then Arcanus muttered something under his breath and suddenly Alexa felt as if everything sounded clearer. Everything. The chirping birds, the sounds of the hot springs water.

"Arcanus can she hear and understand now," Melodi asked.

"Yes I can," Alexa Answered for him. Thinking back she figured she should answer Melodi's first question. "And yes Melodi I'm all right"

"So Alexa seeing as how my day has suddenly freed up how about I show you around the town?"

"That sounds good."

"All right and then we can swing by the barracks and convince Phoenix to give you a sword."

After three hours that seemed like Three days talking to just about everyone in town Alexa was tired and felt like getting a break from it.

"So Melodi what is this tournament everyone's talking about" Alexa Inquired

"The Tournament is a thing that the city guard and really anyone in town who can fight does every ten years. Mostly to show off their strength, some enter for the prize that is given out; which this year happens to be the sword you saw crystal working on. Although … Oh here we are this is the barracks."

As the two of them walked in Melodi announced that Alexa would like to train with them for a bit. Most of the room didn't know what to say but in the corner one of them a great big grey raccoon said that "Women aren't meant to be warriors"

"What was that" Alexa said turning her entire body to face him.

The raccoon looked up to the sky and said "Women aren't meant to be warriors"

"Oh well bless your heart" Alexa said with a truly angelic smile and devilish eyes. "You gonna say that to my face now," She asked. Even without her memories she could tell that he pissed her off.

The raccoon stood up and looked Alexa straight in the eyes and said "Women can't be warriors."

"Wrong answer" and in an instant Alexa was doing a spinning handstand knocking the guys feet out from under him. Then she flipped back onto her feet and did a slightly raised round house kick in her victims face knocking him clear to the other side of the room. She turned to meet the rest of the barracks and every last one, Melodi included, Had their jaws dropped.

"Crap gotta think up something witty," Alexa thought

"Anyone else got a problem with women," a voice coming from the shadows asked the room. Alexa turned to the voice and saw a Bright red from wearing a blue blazer in its spot. "Welcome to our barracks" he said greeting Alexa. "My name's phoenix by the way, now someone get this warrior a sword," Phoenix said. "You beat up one of my men and now I have to fight you for the unit's honor," he said grinning like a demon
