Piper's Wishes 'Greetings, young human, and welcome to Space Colony ARK. Obviously, you are weary from your tiring journey through space, but time is not an essence we truly have. I do not mean you any harm; it was your destiny to wander here, as is your destiny to listen to an age-old story. Only few people have ever heard of it, and you will be one of them. But, first things first, I will grant you the gift of light to show where your fate takes you.'

A dim light flickers on from the ceiling, illuminating the spacious metal room, with nothing but a huge projector, showing nothing but a blank screen. You are standing right in the centre of the room, facing towards the projector. But that is not what you are looking at. Standing just a metre away from you and closer to the screen is a young, 5 – foot - tall hedgehog. She has tanned fur, with deep, brown eyes. Her quills are all dark brown, exactly like her eyes. Her gloves are pure white, with blue bracelets covering the cuffs. The hedgehog wears a gold bandana around her head with a single blue jewel in the centre. She begins to talk but, unbelievably, not a movement is seen within her shut lips. This startles you slightly, but curiosity for what she is speaking about keeps you from panicking.

'We are standing in the Main Computer Room in ARK, the last known place my ancestor was said to be found before he perished. My name is Piper Takara - Jane Hedgehog, Princess of Bane and leader of my People. My Past, Present and Future do not matter now. What matters is the legend that you are about to be told. Though I must pay you great heed, it is more than a mere bedtime story, and the marks you will bear after this encounter will only lead you into sorrow and rage. If you will, please make yourself comfortable.'

As you are about to ask what you are going to sit on, slight murmurs from the Mobian in front of you cut off your words. She raises her arms to become parallel with her shoulders. Slowly, in a flash of white light, two pillows appear in the Main Control Room, a large and fluffy one emerges at your feet, while a smaller one does with her. She sits down on her own and stares up at you.

'Think wisely before you lower yourself. As soon as you are seated, I will not cease my story, and you will not escape those scars I have notified you about.'

You gulp nervously, before slowly seating yourself down. She still looks very serious, but you regard her worries with a reassuring smile. The hedgehog sighed lightly, before sitting more straight than before.

'Very well, your choice has been made. But to start this unwelcoming story off, you must travel long before your time, back when this space colony was unveiled from its secrecy, and the start of my ancestor's great tale.'

'To begin this story, you must go back seventy years ago...'
