Zails belongs to Black Twilight Wolf.

A cool breeze is what made me open my eyes. The room was still dark as dawn had not yet arrived. From the angel I was at I could see outside the window to see the moon setting over the horizon and the stars where fading away. Another cold breeze blew in through the open window and I shivered. I reached down for the blanket but my hand brushed up against something. I blinked and then saw an arm was wrapped around my waist holding me tight.

Confused I looked over my shoulder and saw Finitevus asleep. Then, just like that, last night's "celebration" came back to my head and my eyes widen. I must have been really drunk or something…

I turned back around and started to slide out of the bed but since Finitevus had an arm around me, my moments started to wake him. But instead in his sleep, he just tightens his grip around me. So I just sighed and scooted back into the bed and pulled the blanket up to my shoulder.

I couldn't get back to sleep. So I just stared up at the ceiling. I don't know how long I was awake, but a bit of light was coming into the room from outside so it was almost dawn. I sighed and then a dust ball landed on my nose and I sneezed. I guess it must have been loud because Finitevus started to move and then a moment later, he yawned and slightly sat up.

He rubbed his head and then looked around. After a moment I heard him say something under his breath about not being able to see and then I did a slight smile. I reached over on the bed side table and picked up his glasses and then placed them in his free hand saying "Looking for these?"

He didn't say anything but just place them back on his face and then he said "Thanks I-" He suddenly became quiet and then shifted his gaze to me. I looked away unsure on what would happen next. He just shook his head and laid back down muttering to himself.

There was a long moment of silence and I wondered if he had gone back to sleep. I thought for a moment and then asked "When…when will I become Enerjak?" A long quiet moment passed until finally he responded by saying "If all goes well…by the end of this month."

I sighed and said "Alright." I'll head to Angel Island later today. I have to warn Felidae and the Chaotix… They need to know… I rolled over on my side finally ready to go back to sleep. I yawned and then pulled the blanket up. And soon I fell back asleep.

…Later that Day…

"Now, if I were Felidae where would I be?" I asked myself as I walked around Angel Island. I tired the Master Emerald but Vector and Ray where guarding it. So I didn't get close enough for them to see me. So instead I went walking around in the forest looking for signs of where my echidna friend might be.

Crack!

I heard the sound of a sticks breaking and I turned and leaped up into a nearby tree. I looked down to the forest below for any signs of someone but nothing came up at first. But then I saw a figure move through the forest and I smiled. I recognized who it was.

As the figure walked under the tree I was on I hung upside down and said "Hi Zails." Zails perked his ears and turned around to face me. He smiled when he saw it was me and said "Hello Celty." I leaped down from the tree and landed next to Zails and then I asked "What are you doing?"

"Just taking a walk." He said and I smiled and asked "Hey, have you by any chance seen a dark cherry red echidna with blue eyes?"

"You mean the one that almost ran over me the other day?" He asked with a smirk. I chuckled and said "Yah, her." He shook his head no and said "I haven't seen her since that day." I sighed at this. Looks like I have to go hunting for Felidae. Or just work up the courage to ask Ray or Vector if they have seen her…

"Well, I have to find her…" I said and Zails asked "Want me to help find your friend?" I smiled and said "Thanks Zails. Her name is Felidae." Zails nodded and then we walked together through the forest looking for my friend. We walked for a while, we even tried calling for her name. But nope…never did find her.

We stopped to rest by a small waterfall were we found some fruit growing on some nearby trees. As we ate lunch, I asked "So, Zails do you live on Angel Island?" He shook his head no and said "I'm just staying here for a bit." I took another bite of my fruit and then asked "Oh, do you know anything about the Master Emerald?"

Zails nodded and said "I know some things about it. Like how there are seven Chaos Emeralds to go along with it. And that the Master Emerald holds a lot of power." I finished off my fruit and then asked "Well…do you know anything about Enerjak?"

Zails shrugged his shoulders and said "I know it has something to do with Echidna mythology." If only it was just a myth… "Yah, I guess so." I said and then Zails stood up and walked over to the water. I watched as he leaned down and grabbed something out of the water that was shiny.

I stood up and walked over to him and asked "What did you find?" He turned around and opened his hand to reveal a golden ring. I grabbed it and looked it over. It was solid gold and there was something written in the inside but I could not read the language it was written in.

"Looks like someone lost this…" I said and then Zails nodded and said "Wonder who it belonged to."

"It belongs to me." A voice said and we looked up at the top of the waterfall and saw a mobian cat. She hurried down the spiral path to us and said "Sorry, I lost my ring while I was cooling off in the water." I gave her the ring and she smiled.

She had sandy colored fur with a touch of golden and black hair. She had amber eyes as well and was wearing clothing that reminded me of ancient Egypt. I smiled back at her and said "No problem. Just be careful that you don't lose it again or next time the wrong person will find it."

She chuckled and said "I know. Oh and thanks again. My name is Anubis, Anubis the cat." I nodded and said "Mine is Celty, and this is my friend Zails." Zails waved hi to her and she waved back and then said "I have to go now. Thanks again!" She then ran off into the woods and then I said "Well…since my friend is nowhere to be found, what do you want to do?"

Zails thought for a moment and then asked "We could go to New Mobotropolice." I smiled and said "That sounds like fun." I then opened a Warp Ring and said "Let's go then." Then we walked through the Warp Ring headed to New Mobotropolice.
