I took a deep breath, letting it out slowly. I had to explain to Shadow why I'm sometimes not in control of my action. I sigh and lay back, putting my head in Shadow's lap.

"Before I meet you or Sonic or anyone else, I lived in a city. It wasn't an ordinary city though. The city is thought to be a legend, but it is real. The City of the Clouds. That was my home," I started.

Shadow looked shock, but I continued.

"And the people of the city were different too. Most were what the Greeks called Olympians. Most were from that floating city above Mount Olympus. Anyway, they started a colony on a cloud that was always in the sky, watching over the people. I was 5th generation born there and was considered a blessing. The oracle of the city said that I was to play an important role in history, but she never knew what. So, I started like any old child, born and just played with the others. One day, I ran off and found a pond on the cloud. I looked into the water and saw the most amazing thing. Myself when I grew up," I said.

Shadow was stroking my head and I continued.

"I was surprised by this and fell back. I surprised a boy that was slightly older than me. He had silver fur and looked a little like Sonic. He looked at me with his blue eyes and got up. 'I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you. Here, let me help you up,' he said. He pulled me to my feet and smiled. 'My name is Hunter. What's your?' he asked. 'A-Amelia Rozial.' 'Nice to meet you.' He looked up to the sky and I looked up as well. 'Look! A shooting star! Let's make a wish!' I yelled. He closed his eyes for a second and then opened them. 'What did you wish for?' he asked. 'For me to find out what I am supposed to do in the future. I am supposed to play an important role in history. What about you?' I asked. He said, 'I wished that we could be like brother and sister, caring and supporting one another,' he said with a smile."

Shadow remained silent, but I continued my story.

"After a few years, my friendship with him had turned into something more. Love. I loved him, but I thought that he saw me as more of a sister. I couldn't tell, but I still loved him. I remained silent about it and called him my brother. I lived in the City of Clouds for 7 year. Until the attack," I said.

That image of that hellhound that I hunted down a long time ago was still ingrained in my mind. Shadow's hand was getting closer to the spot that Sonic touched to "loosen me up." I move my back little when his hand got too close.

"That kinda hurts," I winced.

His hand moved back up. And I continued my story.

"The day before the attack, I was told that there was another being in me. She was the godling and was supposed to give me advice when I reach maturity. They didn't know when I was supposed to reach maturity, which was odd. Most could tell when they would reach maturity, and it was around the age of 16. So they decided to send me to Apollo to see if he could uncover any light on my future and who I was supposed to be. I never got the chance to get over there because the next day was black. The oracle knew that it was coming and she warned us, but we didn't listen," I sighed.

"The sky was black and there were lots of strange things in the air. Warriors had prepared to fight. Hunter, Krystal, and I were told to flee the city and protect the history of our city. So, when the battle started to get too close, they sent the signal and we fled. Hunter had wings and so did Krystal, so they carried me down from the city. After we got a mile away from the city, we looked back at it. The cloud was gone. Not even a trace of the city was left, and we had all the history of the city," I said as I felt like crying.

"Then we found out that the army was after us cause they figured out that we were alive. We ran and got contact from the Huntresses. They were coming to aid us in escape and destroy the army. Artemis, goddess of the moon and maidens, was helping too, but could only help from a distance until the army was destroyed. They made some sort of god and goddess repellant and used it to keep the gods at bay."

I sigh. Every time that I tell people about this memory, a little pain goes away. Even telling Shadow helps. I continued my little trip through my strange childhood.

"We made it to a clearing and were sprinting across it. I spotted the Huntress camp and pointed to it. The Huntresses were already and had their bows up. Arrows nocked and ready, they fired off a volley at the monsters. They were more organized than we thought. The front slowed down and let the shield carrier get in front of them. Almost all of the arrows bounced off the shields. If I wasn't on the butt end of that fight, I would have been impressed. We continued to sprint and several girls ran to help up to safety. Hunter stopped in his tracks. He looked back at the army. 'Take the girls! I'll make a hole in that shield wall of theirs and you fire right at it!' he yelled. I turned to try and help him, but the huntress grabbed me and ran back to cover. I screamed for him to come back until the fight was over. Gods, it was the worst thing that I had ever seen. Blood was running in rivers and pooled in other areas. I was let go and I tore down the field to try and find him. And I did. I wished that I never did," I said as a single tear slid down my cheek.

Shadow wiped it off my face and cupped my cheek.

"Shadow, remember when you told me about Maria and that feeling of heart break?" I said.

He nodded.

"My heart break to 11 months to disappear. His body was drenched in blood. His own blood. He had cuts all over his body and was barely alive. He coughed up some blood as I rushed over to him. 'Amy?' he asked in a distorted state. I picked up his head and put it in my lap. Krystal and the Huntresses ran over, but I didn't pay attention. I noticed when Artemis came over. The beautiful silver hedgehog with silver eyes and looked to be around 25 was enough to make many men drool. 'Please,' I whispered. 'Save him.' She knelt by him and ran her hand along his body, eyes closed. She opened them and a sad light lit her eyes. 'He can't be save,' she said. He coughed a little more and said, 'Don't be sad, little flower. I want to see that smile on your face. Always smile, my flower. Always smile,' he took one last deep breath and died. I sobbed hard and Krystal came over to me and hugged me to give me comfort, but she was crying too. Artemis came over and put her hand on his eyes. She took a deep breath similar to his. 'You aided maidens you do not know and would have hated you. You lost your life to protect your family and my sisters. I give you my recognition of your deeds,' she said in a voice that brought the moon out and let it shine over us. She removed her hand from his eyes and his body faded until there was nothing left. She looked up and everyone else did as well. I knew constellation lit up the sky in the shape of hedgehog running with a bow in hand. Hunter's favorite bow. He has stayed in the sky and protected us ever since," I finished.

I told the whole story to Shadow and didn't break down crying. Wonderful. He stroked my cheek and brought his forehead to mine. I then noticed a presence outside my door. It was Sonic, and he listened to the whole story. Eavesdropper. I start to feel slightly tired, which shouldn't have happened and I drifted off in Shadow's lap.

A.N.: I did not come up with the idea of the Olympians. I had read Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series and the Huntress thing sounded awesome. Besides, how would the whole goddess and godling thing fit in huh? Laters. Keep on writing!!
