Part 3: AU (the atomic symbol for gold):

When you spent most of your infancy in a state of everlasting fear, you tend to latch on to anyone that cares for you, no matter how little they acknowledge you. You will be loyal to them, and care for them. You would even give your life to save them.

Like I said, I lived my infancy in constant fear. Inside my egg, I heard loud noises every day. Cars rushed by, bells rang, and people yelled. But it was not the sounds that scared me, it was the fact that I was not in the vicinity of the protection that had been afforded to our race since the beginning of time; the power of Chaos was not present.

Then, one day, I was abruptly lifted towards a distant warmth. Distant to me then because of my location, but once I got to the Chao garden, I was able to fully enjoy its effects.

But I'm getting off track. I was lifted off my spot. The spot I had never seen, but had lived there as long as I could remember. I was lifted up and carried off.

I was petrified. The noises got louder, then almost ceased altogether. I was carried for a few more minutes, before being placed down.

Suddenly I realized, I was safe! I was in in a protected area. I had been brought into a Chao garden!

I had barely been able to revel in the splendor, when I was again lifted toward the warmth. This time however, it was far greater. I loved it. All my past fear had been melted away. I would be born, not this today, not this hour, but NOW.

I started to stir, I wanted out then. After being placed down, I tore my shell to pieces. And thus, I was alive. And I was beautiful.

That is how I came to be born, and how I met Atlanti and Sonic. And, even more importantly, how I became the most important Chao alive, all thanks to Sonic.
