Sonic Chronicles

Chronicle I

Marai Prower walked up to her husband. She was a beautiful fox, her golden fur a sign of beauty to everyone around her. She was only 19. Her usually brightened and cheerful face was unusually full of sorrow.

"He won't live much longer, Ren."

Ren Prower, a 22-year old fox turned and faced his wife. He had black fur, and a menacing look that told you to back-off. He softened only at the sight of his wife.

"...I know Marai. He is so young. The volcano life isn't good for him."

He spoke of the black, cold place they lived in, a menacing volcano on Rain Island, south of the hustling and bustling TSS city. A remote island it was, so cold that none could stand it. That is why Marai and Ren lived in the now Dormant Volcano. It was there only hope of survival, since they had been cut off from the rest of the world.

Marai spoke, as she laid a hand on her husband's gruff shoulder. "I know. We have to get him back to TSS city. We aren't good for him."

Ren bowed his head. "I know. Ever since that brother of mine was put on trail by Chancellor Eggman, we have been chased out of one city after another. But we need Flareth to live his own life. Away from this volcano, away from the danger that the Prower name holds."

Marai sighed. "I know. We... should send him there. Have him adopted into the family of Echindas that helped us escape. They have another adopted boy, or so I heard in the last letter, who should be about Flareth's age. Sonniku was his name I think."

Ren smirked. "Then we will send him off with the next Flyer that comes from them." He turns and looks at a young fox, with red fur and the two tails that he got from his Uncle. Black permanent marks cover the boy's fur, from all of the dust and smog that he had grown up in.

Marai smiled. "I love him so much. It will be so hard to let him go. Poor guy."

Ren nodded. "But it is for the best. He needs-"

Marai cut him off. "I know Ren. I know."

A WEEK LATER...

Marai looked up at the sky. There flew a large bird, as it beat against the wind to get to the volcano.

"The Flyer... Already?" She sat down and stared in shock. She didn't realize how hard it would be to let Flareth go.

"Ren! Ren! The Flyer is here." She said, as the bird swooped down and perched itself next to her, and it lay its head it her lap.

Ren slowly walked towards Marai, carrying a bundle that had Flareth's head poking out of it, the boy fast asleep. "I know Marai. I already saw it." But, there was something else in his hand. A sword.

"No! I will not permit my Flareth to have a weapon! He... he... shouldn't... no..." Marai slowly faded. Then grimaced. "I suppose your right. Just make sure he can't get it while he is flying."

"I already did." said the black-furred fox. "I bundled it so only a adult could open it, not someone with so tiny fingers."

"Oh. Okay." said Marai, "But he does need some other things right, umm... like food and water and I better go get these-"

She stopped when Ren had put a hand over her mouth. "No. We send him now."

Marai sighed. "Your right."

He placed the bundle in a basket and traded it with the Flyer for it's letter. Then, he scratched something down, and handed to the Flyer as an afterthought. The Flyer took it, and flew off, in the direction of his home.

Marai looked up, and as the wind blew through her dress, she whispered. "Goodbye... Flareth."
