Chapter 3
I DO NOT OWN SONIC OR HIS BUDDIES!
The landing
All around them, the hostile group had bows and arrows aimed at the three.
"Stop!" yelled a voice. A bunch of arrowers moved aside, to reveal a knight in dark golden armor.
"What do you want with us?" Shadow asked.
"Well you did fall into my lake, and I dislike trespassers" The knight replied menacingly.
"Well what are you going to do about it?" Shadow retorted with an attitude.
"I like your style!" the knight said.
"Well that is one thing we agree on." Shadow replied cooly.
"I own the castle up on the ridge if your friends and you need a place to stay." The knight offered.
"Alright then." Shadow said.
"Good. My name is Sir Rimptree" The knight announced.
"Shadow, Tails and Espio." Shadow said pointing at people as he named them.
"I will send for my horses, and we shall ride." Rimptree declared.
"Alright but we can get there on our own." Shadow said.
"I insist." Rimptree pleaded.
"I suppose it would be fine." Shadow decided.
"Yay my first horse ride!" Tails cried out. It was really all threes first ride, but Shadow and Espio didn't want to admit it. Espio picked it up quick, but Tails chose flying instead. Shadow, though he could not get the hang of riding, refused to get off and ask for help. He rode uncomfortably up the enormous hill.
When they reached the tip, in front of the castle, the group really saw how giant the castle was. After passing the moat, which was not full of crocodiles, They entered the grounds. It seemed like a small town, except no one was around. There was a church, a shop, a farmhouse, and a castle. There was a pond, and an arena that hundreds of people were at. "What is going on there?" Tails asked.
"That is the arena." Rimptree replied.
"What goes on there?" Tails Asked.
"My knights duel each other to see who is the best knight in my kingdom. That knight earns the right to save a beautiful group of princesses. There are 7 princesses in distress. We must find the knight immediately!" The king answered with power. Heads turned towards him at his announcement.
"What?" The king asked.
"Oh them." He realized. In a world of humans, a fox with two tails, a chameleon with a horn, and a hedgehog with black and red hair stuck out.
"I want to compete in this event. I will be the best!" Shadow announced with a burning in his eye.
"The only way you may sign up is if you pass the test of the armor. He is in the armory inside the castle." The king said
"I'll get seats with Tails." Espio said and left being dragged by Tails.
"You can do this Shadow." Shadow said to himself. With a look of confidence, he entered the castle, and walked in just as the enormous doors shut.
