Next day, Amy woke up first and walked out from the room while Sonic was still sleeping and summoned the golem of hers then ordered it to bring her up to the place where she likes to relax and think. Meaning to take her up to the highest tower of the castle, where she was watching the surroundings in the beginning of our story. As she closed her eyes she saw the scenes of burning villages while the head of the church was giving speech to the gathering troops below the balcony where he was standing. Giving speech to the inquisitors and witch hunters, cheering them shedding the blood of the heretics all over the known world. She was seeing the various executions while hearing choirs chanting Gregorian songs. Choir with their faces hid under the shadow of their hoods. She saw them burning on bonfires and other executional methods that are used especially on heretics. Then the whole image was consumed by fire.
She opened her eyes slowly and they became wet from the visions. Like she was there and the flames burned her eyes. Amy sat down in seiza closed her eyes again and sighed. The girl thought:
"This haunting images again. Maybe sorceresses have some kind of telepathy and that's why because I see these horrific images."
Her chest were moving steadily while she stabilized her breathing and the golem was right behind her, watching her without any expression on its face. It seems Amy could not give it complicated emotion. Only fear, anger, joy and sadness. It was watching as the morning breeze was playing with its master's long straight and soft hair. A small tear left her eye and fell down on her lap, but before it froze into a crystal while falling. It shattered into tiny little shard on the stone under Amy.
The sorceress girl sat up slowly and opened her eyes and wrapped her arms around her waist and was smiling. Smiling deep from her heart. Last night, when Sonic made her to sleep with him he felt warmth spreading in all over her body, melting up her whole existence. Her heart started beating rapidly and her body started getting warmer with each and every beat. She felt alive again. She thought following Sonic back to town will be a good choice. She asked the golem to bring her back down to meet up with the young male hedgehog.
"Hey Amy. Where have you been?" asked Sonic while waving to the sorceress girl. Amy walked up to him and smiled.
"Just enjoying the morning breeze in the tower. Shall we go now?" said Amy. Sonic let out a faint smile then opened the huge door leading out from the mass, destroyed structure that served as a home for the girl for two hundred years. And now, on this day she leaves this place to enjoy freedom without being afraid of the inquisitors or the witch hunters again. Maybe this will be the day when she will be finally accepted.
She have never thought that it would be possible for her to ever step outside to the light. She was lost in pure darkness, not be seen by anyone. But on that day, this boy came who saw her and decided to bring her out from the darkness and show her the light once again. On that day, her life changed drastically.
By the crack of dawn, the light snowstorm had stopped and the sky became clear. The sun was shining making the snow shine and the boy and the sorceress began their journey back to Sonic's hometown. To the place where Amy was chased away from. On their way to town, they did not bump into any obstacles like when Sonic and his friends. Maybe because there is no snowstorm that could block their vision. The journey lasted for two hours.
By the time they arrived to town it already woke up. Stores are opened and people came and go on the streets. Because of this only on the tops of certain buildings had snow on them, such as the wooden rooves of houses and on top of street lamps and stands. In just one day, the town prepared for the upcoming festival. On this annual festival, they build stands where they sell hand-made gifts usually made from wood or other traditional material. They also sell homemade foods like gingerbread and fruitcake. Celtic music echoed among the walls of the houses and the chattering of townspeople and tradesmen. The scent of mulled wine filled the air. The cold breeze was playing gently with the snow, rocking the falling flakes back and forth like a mother does with her child.
At first sight, Amy was amazed how much her home had changed over the two hundred years of isolation. She even stopped for a moment to admire the sight of the lively and magnificently decorated town. But she needed to snap back into reality fast in order not to get hit by a cart or a horse. As they were walking away from the crowded streets, they ended up at a crystal clear and warm stream that melted the untouched snow in a small radius. Amy and Sonic saw a small bridge that overarched the stream and provided a beautiful view on the water. This place is the gathering place of couples who want to spend some time with each other in a fascinating and quiet place. The sorceress girl, while watching the stream, she thought about the dear memories that she almost forgot. Memories about friendship, when she and her friends were talking about fashion, boys and their future. All those plans and expectations are nothing more than ashes now. Nothing more, nothing less. She finally decided to start fresh. To leave the past behind and to live a happy life, but still not forget her friends and the heroes that sacrificed themselves to protect her. She closed her eyes and a teardrop fell from her eye and into the water.
"Everyone. Thank you." she murmured quietly, Sonic could barely hear it.
"Sorry?" Sonic asked looking a bit confused.
"Nothing. I want to thank you for bringing me back. I feel myself alive again" she smiled then went back taking pleasure in watching the calm stream.
