Story: The Quest

this is my best story so far, i've nearly finished it, so i'll post a new chapter every few days...

There is a character in this story called Si-harah (see-har-rah) she is a wolf. Her fur is a silky amethyst colour (purple) and she has slender yellow eyes. Also she tampers with black magic and is highly dangerous.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Sega character (meaning knuckles and Rouge) or products (meaning the Master Emerald…dammit!) I do own Si-harah the wolf and Kane the cobra though

Eh… Because of my laziness the story keeps changing from past- to present tense… sorry about this, enjoy anyway.

Introduction…

There are countless tales of an ancient gemstone named, the inferno ruby. This stone can create such tremendous firepower's to its possessor that it has been ceiled away by the gods for centuries in an under water temple. The only way to find the temple is to find the eye of Hathor (goddess of the sky) let the adventure begin…

Chapter: 1

Rouge the bat sat back against a lone tree, her gaze fixed on Angel Island. Her thoughts aimed on one person, Knuckles. Since their last adventure, he's been on her mind constantly. 'Why did I have to fall for you?' With a sigh, Rouge got up. One last glance towards Angel Island, "you would never feel the same…this is for the best" the bat whispers before turning away and heading off.

Location: Angel Island

A loud yawn could be heard from the shrine. Knuckles was leaning against the master emerald with the silky, starry sky just ahead of him. The guardian was exhausted but did not allow himself to sleep. He had to stay awake no matter what, to fend off any intruders or thieves.

His mind began to wonder back to his last adventure. Meeting new faces, new rivals…'that bat… Rouge' Knuckles shook his head; he stands up and faces the emerald placing one hand against it, watching its magnificent glow from the moonlight.

A frown tugs on his lips, his gaze shifts to the floor. Knuckles let out a sigh and turns his back on the emerald. "That emerald is more trouble than it's worth" he said in a low tone. His arms folded and eyes closed, his mind plays back to the mysterious bat, he couldn't stop thinking about her… everything about her seems so perfect. He shakes his head again and scoffs 'stupid bat' Knuckles gives out a low growl then looks back towards the master emerald.

"Argh… why is this so difficult?" Knuckles kicks the emeralds pedestal in anger, almost knocking over the emerald. With another sigh knuckles heads down the shrine steps and enters the jungle finding somewhere to relax and clear his thoughts.

Location: unknown…

Rouge was now a great distance away from Angel Island, she had a small backpack slung over one shoulder and a map in her hand. She had a determined look upon her face as she journeyed on.

She soon came to a small town park, a few lovers watching the sky together. Rouge sat herself down on a bench and sighed looking back the way she'd came. Angel Island nowhere in sight. Rouge turns back and glances towards the couple who were laughing at something, she sighs again wishing that could be her and knuckles- 'Rouge get a grip… this isn't like you' her mind snaps. She growls a little then stands up gathering her things and heads off again.

Location: deep in the darkest place…

"Dam… the moon is half, five more days" a dark voice came from the mist. The wolf lurks in the shadows, gathering potions and old worn books. She grabs the nearest book and opens it. Dust blew everywhere, her finger trailed along the page, seeking something.

The wolfs slender yellow eyes widens, a smile forms on her lips.

"So, there is a way…now to find two worthy hunters" her smile widens as she shuts the book. She grabs her potions and pores them into a small black pot. The blue dye turns red as she stirs the mixture.

"Show me…two of the greatest hunters, for my task…" she chants. The mixture bubbles violently then shines brightly causing the wolf to step back.

The liquid forms into an image, which the wolf gazes into. It showed Angel Island then showed the guardian, Knuckles.

"This echidna will do nicely" she smiles, flashing off her fangs "show me the second hunter" her eyes narrowed as the image changes again, showing station square then showing a female bat walking along the street, it was indeed Rouge.

The wolf clapped her hands in delight "perfect, just perfect" she sniggers, with that she grabs another old book and skims through it. Her finger trailed again through a page and stops. "I'll get what I want…sooner than later"
