Chapter 4. The Truth.

Shadow paced up and down the dining room, taking short glances at his daughter.

"Kiara, that person you saw at the park today was one of my enemies from back when I was fifteen." He said.

"How come you're telling me this now?" Kiara asked.

" I never thought I'd have to tell you, Kiara. He was supposed to be destroyed when Princess Elise blew out the flame that held Mephiles and Iblis as a single entity, one that would create a rift in the fabrics of time and space, and that being was called Solaris. That person was Mephiles, he nearly killed your best friend's father, so for your own safety, just let Sonic, Silver and I handle him." Shadow explained.

"Dad, stop being noble. I'm sure Sparks, Indigo and I could get rid of this "Iblis" guy." Kiara appealed.

" Kiara, you're talking about three inexperienced teenagers fighting something made of fire and lava, and once you finished him off, he'd only resurrect himself." Shadow said.

"But Dad!" Kiara whined.

"I rest my case. You stay out of it. That is my final decision." Shadow concluded.

" Fine! I' m going to my room." Kiara said crossly.

" You shouldn't be out fighting things that are out of your depth, anyway."

Kiara scowled at Shadow before raging up to her bedroom upstairs.

At Westopolis Hospital..

Mephiles sighed, a whole day of trying to find Iblis, gone down the drain.

All because of her. Shadow's daughter, of all the girls in the world, it had to be her.

"But why would you want to fuse with me?" A voice said.

Mephiles looked up to see Iblis, staring him full in the face with smouldering orange eyes. "We are two halves of a single entity, Iblis. It has to happen." He said.

"But I don't want to." Iblis whined.

"Why not?" Mephiles snapped.

" I like being able to think for myself, rather than just burning things and being a pest."

Iblis reasoned.

"Fine, have it your way." Mephiles snarled.

"So be it!" Iblis cried, sailing out of the hospital ward.


Hope that answered your questions, Silver Fizz. Did Shadow seem more real in this chapter, Ivy the Wombat?
