"Life in the past was calm, and quiet. It was easy, at times it was hard. But people always had other's they could count on, a system of rules to keep them safe. And i'm sorry I could never give you that."
Iblis's eyes had began to fade of their color, and she returned to her seat atop the mountain, the burning lava didn't phase her, she turned to her children and resumed the story.
"Knothole was built in the Acorn forest, by a renegade princess and a band of misfits from all the cracks and clefts of the land, a town for those who'd sworn to fight for freedom in a way the law wouldn't permit."
"But it wasn't to last."
"The land had been attacked you see, by an unrelenting force known as The Great Wave. Led by Ivana Robotnik and her group of metallic warriors, which she had brought from across the magic sea.."
"Something happened, something terrible, at some time in some specific place of this quaint village, and it's something the kingdom never recovered from. Some say it was a biolgical attack, a Great Wave, so to speak.. of Chromolyn Sodium."
Blaze stood to her feet, "But, those weapon's didn't exist back then, I thought it was a betrayer, a loyalist gone bad who had destroyed the Freedom Fighters." Iblis held up her thick finger, unfortunatley she only had four and it looked like an offensive gesture to the porly educated children. "Be patient child, I've got more to tell."
"The Great Wave didn't destroy the freedom fighters. It was a betrayer.. they lost their hero, and they fled underground, to the tunnels of the kings castle, but they didn't know. That the Lonely Hero had been their before." Iblis stood to her massive feet once more. "Thats all I know, and it's all I could know." she began walking to the north, and her children watched her go. "I wasn't there, it was The Survivor who told me. But it's been a hundred years since i've seen his face."
