Chapter 2

There is an old proverb that says that pain is something that you will not be able to avoid throughout your life, but you can choose how to deal with it.

Silver throughout his short life always never had to deal with this exactly, when you are born into an apocalyptic world consumed by flames and you don't know anything about yourself or your birth or family there is not much to cry about.

It is quite simple to keep on waiting because some miracle has to happen and everything has to be much better, right? Well, it is not like that, you have to take the reins and face the adversities that will appear along the way. It's not that you have a must with it ... it's just that there is no other option.

All my life I waited for things to improve and when I thought I had a chance for that I was fooled, but can I be blamed for that? All my life I lived in a world where hope is zero and the chances of survival are even worse, You must learn to sleep with one eye open so as not to be surprised by some creature that will try to kill you without hesitation. I was given an opportunity to take the reins and make a real difference in order to make a change for the better for their future.

So ... it all turned out to be a farce, one that doesn't need a lot of work if we're honest, despair played a good role in that and I fell head over heels ... but not everything turned out so bad, after all if they really destroyed Solaris then nothing bad would happen in the future.

He could see that beautiful blue sky and more beaches ... but above all the sea, it was the most beautiful thing he had seen, in his future there was no such thing, only a horrifying and fiery version of that.

But here he was right on the horizon, in front of him ... but it wasn't his, he knew it wasn't so he has to find a way to get back home before things get worse and out of control.

He could use the chaos emeralds he has and try chaos control, but he had only used it once and it was in his fight with Shadow ... he didn't know if it would turn out well this time, he had to practice how to use the chaos control given to that if he used it without practice it could lead him to some bad place and he didn't want to take that risk.

For now he will thoroughly investigate the world under his feet to understand it much better and not bring bad attention.

"Now that I think about it, that officer yelled that I shouldn't use my" Quirk "... what did he mean by that, do they call special abilities like that in this place?" I had to investigate this thoroughly without using his abilities if the use of them was forbidden, with that in mind I quickly descended into an alley between the great buildings and was integrated by the waves of passersby.

"Finding a library or information center would be the priority."

And so the hours went by in what the young hedgehog was looking for all morning until afternoon, he dropped his body tired on a bench, seriously this walking and not using his skills to fly until he found the place was very overwhelming But he knew that if one thing he hated was being the center of attention and more bad attention.

Everything was quiet until he saw how people began to scream and the expressions on their faces were those of despair as all their eyes were directed to the big screen that still showed a burning man fighting against some monster that seemed ready to kill him.

That was the Flame Hero Endevour taking on the high-end Nomu that had him and Hawks on the ropes, the Nomu displayed strength and intelligence unmatched by anyone they had faced thus far.

"This is like the Kamino tragedy ..."

"There is no hope without all might to protect us."

And so they continued to hear more and more voices expressing their concern about the situation that was presented to them on the big screen, Silver for his part was completely absorbed in all this, he had not the remotest idea of what was happening and honestly he does not like it the idea of being uninformed considering what happened to him for that.

"Look, he's up!"

Said a voice that passed by as he kept walking, suddenly the

people began to shout the name of Endevour and supporting him in spirit as he showed how the man ascended with flaming wings to attack the Nomu with all his power thus releasing a great attack of flames pulverizing the creature until leaving only its head falling into some place of the fight.

All this only for the hero to fall to the ground leaving a crater in the place leaving a column of smoke and dust that when disappearing showed the figure of Endevour raising his fist in victory sign to which the people got excited and shouted of unbridled joy.

The young hedgehog looked in amazement at the entire battle. He had never seen a human do something like this yet, the man demonstrated great power over the flames although he cannot help thinking that the flames of Iblis are much more powerful and dangerous.

"The only thing I can do now is go my way and find out what's going on in this world." The hedgehog thought as he walked to ... where he was going!, The young man gave himself a mental slap, he realized that what he was looking for he would not find him walking anywhere, it would be more effective if he asked someone.

With that in mind he asked a man who had a takoyaki stand, the man was very kind indicating that there was not a library very far from his current location, it was a few streets going straight ahead and turning right and then he would find a large building of about 3 floors.

Thanking the man for the kindness he went to the place, it took him at least 10 minutes to get there since he was a bit distracted by the different forms of each individual on the street, but in the end he arrived.

As he crossed the doors he found an old woman about to fall from some stairs, but he quickly grabbed her in the air with his psychokinesis, the woman was somewhat scared but was soon left on the ground as Silver approached to tend her hand.

"Thank you very much young man, but use of Quirk without a license and on premises is prohibited." The old woman said, the only abnormal characteristics she had was her reptilian tail that didn't move much, Silver thought this would be due to age or something similar.

"You're welcome, helping is a pleasure and I'm sorry to have used my powers." Said a Silver looking at the ground a little sad as he looked back at the old woman "it's that I come from a far away place and I needed information and I don't know much about them. Quirk ... do you think you can help me? "

The old woman looked a bit astonished by what the hedgehog said, but shortly after she smiled humbly, "Sure darling I'll tell you everything you need to know." He said he craved her as she sat at the counter and began to tell Silver about the history of the Quirks and how they changed society to what it is today, how the hero system and the academies were implemented.

"Incredible ... (I had never heard of something like this)". I thought while the old lady explained the system to control the "Quirks" now I knew that I was making the right decision by not going over there flying over there carelessly, I would have To be more vigilant from now on, thoughts began to flood his mind until the lady's voice took him out of his thoughts.

"Excuse me young man, do you have a place to sleep now? It seems like you don't have a place to go"

"I ... not really, but I'll manage, I always do."

"Let me help you then, I can let you sleep at my home tonight as compensation for saving me from that fall" Said the librarian with a really sincere smile, Silver did not want to abuse but how to say no to that smile? "Very well I accept your hospitality ma'am. ... excuse me I don't know your name "

"Kaede ... Kaede Fujimoto." She answered without losing her smile and adjusting her glasses "And you cute young man?"

"Silver ... Silver the Hedgehog"

As soon as she finished introducing herself she felt a great pain in her chest and a horrible migraine, it was Iblis! Wanting to go out and finish it all and reduce it to nothing but ashes. I hear the old woman screaming something worried to end up overcoming the pain in what little by little I was resisting it.

"(No! ... I won't let you ruin this world, you hear me too!)"

This was Silver taking the reins of her life, she will not let them manipulate her or make her do the will of others ever again. He was not a nobody who they were going to take advantage of. He was a friend, a brother, a savior ... but above all a HERO.

With all that said it took every part of her will to silence the fragment of Iblis in her being until she could feel that it no longer bothered her ... for now. He got up talking to the old woman that everything is fine now, with that said I wait for Mrs. Kaede until finally her shift is over and another came to replace her.

They both left the building and you could tell that it was already dark, around 7:30 p.m., despite her advanced age, Miss Kaede had a small car that took them to both still an apartment complex.

Kaede invited him to come in and take off his boots while he was at home, Silver without objection did what the old woman can do as she told him to sit on the sofa while she prepared something to eat for both of them, he fell gently on furniture while making himself comfortable, sleeping on the sand and sitting on a wooden bench was not to say the most comfortable thing in the world.

While he kept his eyes closed with the satisfaction of having something comfortable to relax in, he felt something lick his hand, when he opened one eye he could see still a brown cat with blue spots on its fur. Silver found it tender and she stroked her without caring and the cat seemed to accept her touch.

After a few minutes of watching television, Kaede called Silver to eat, she had made some curry although Silver did not realize what it was, she knew it must be more delicious than the almost degraded food that was in her future, and she was right with the first bite his taste buds were in heaven at the delicacy he savored in his mouth. Such was the impact that in the blink of an eye she finished her plate in record time.

Kaede smiled when she saw this, it was incredible how the boy devoured the food on his plate as if they had never eaten something as normal as curry.

After dinner she showed Silver the certain guests where he would sleep and left him alone in the room after that, the young hedgehog was alone now he had been struggling to control his emotions but now he needed to rest ... he could To practice chaos control in a secluded place tomorrow, but he couldn't help but think if he was the only one in this world and with the chaos emeralds, if he leaves he could be leaving someone trapped here and that would be really troublesome and his conscience would not. would leave alone.

But all of that was worries to deal with tomorrow, for now she just wants to sleep for the first time in a bed and put all the problems aside just for tonight ... just for tonight. And with that idea his eyes closed as tiredness and sleep demanded him.
