Silver stood on his bran new legs, He was on the beach looking out into the ocean. he watched the water lap against the shore.
" Silver" he heard his name being called, turning around, it was Blaze, and she was wearing a white sundress, she was running towards him.
" Silver "she called, but then everything started to melt, the ocean view, Blaze it all started to run down like a painting being washed.
Then everything went black.
...
...
" Silver!"...
Silver opened his eyes, next him on the Beach were Sonic and Amy. And by the looks at the time it was way past day break. Silver realized he's been out all night!
" Do you know how heavy it was to carry you?" Amy asked " we can't move on land that well.
Silver looked down at himself, he was shock , his tail was indeed gone but in it place were two legs . Sitting up the now turned hedgehog lifted his leg up and wiggled his toes.
" Well say something ?" Amy said. Silver opened his mouth but no sound.
" What wrong? Sonic asked. Silver pointed to his throat, it took the two merhog a second to realize that Silver doesn't have his voice.
" oh..." Sonic said " that right! you made the deal with Mephiles".
" Silver why did you do that?" Amy asked " do you know how dangerous Mephiles can be?" Amy started to drag her merhogself back to the ocean to wet her tail " Mephiles is known to be evil, no mermobian do dare to trust him!"
Sonic scooted himself over to his girlfriend " Amy what's done is done" he said " all we can do now is help and support Silver's new life on land" he turned over to Silver " any way, can you show us how those...Things work?"
Silver nodded, he got to his feet, he carefully balanced himself on his legs, it was kinda difficult to stand then swim, Silver looked like a toddler trying to stand for the first time. his legs gave way and he fell on his back.
Amy and Sonic watched their friend fall " Are you sure that's how Mobains use those?" she asked " maybe Mephiles just ripped you off".
Silver ignored her and got up again, He remember seeing Tikal standing and walking if she was able to do it so can he, after successfully standing, the hedgehog took his first step. He turn to his friends smiling. He took another step, turned around and took a step, he was getting the hang of it, then he started to walk towards his friends.
" Wait Silver stop!" Sonic called out " Remember if you touch the ocean water your turn back into a Merhog" Sonic reminded, Silver remembered , taking a step back he lost balance and fell.
" Sorry buddy" Sonic told him. Then the three heard voices. Sonic and Amy quickly disappeared into the ocean, Silver on the other hand panicked, instinct told him to go back in the water but he couldn't he tried to get back on his feet but he fell over.
" Are you all right?" a voice called. Blaze saw him fall and she was by his side " let me help you" she took his hand into her and help him to his feet. then she saw the necklace around his neck.
" T..That necklace?' she asked. Silver looked down realised that it indeed belong to her, he untied it from his neck and gave it to her. The cat took it in her hands.
" This... This necklace belong to my late mother, where did you find it?" shea sked. Silver pointed to the ocean.
" The ocean?... you found it in the ocean?" she asked, Silver nodded. The she started to remember the silver fur color and this hedgehog before her had that same fur.
" Wait... Did you...No it couldn't" she turned away " impossible but..." Silver watched the cat, he was confused but he couldn't help but be this close to her.
" Blaze, oh Blaze!" another voice was calling, the two turn to see Tikal running towards them " there you are..." she notice Silver " Who's this young fellow?"
" Oh... Uh..." Blaze looked over to him " I didn't catch your name?" Silver expression turned, how could he tell her his name if he couldn't speak he notice footprints in the sand, and they lead to him. he lifted up his foot and realise he made the footprints.
He got and idea, bending down he started to poke the sand with his finger, he made a line, he realised he could write his name in the sand.
The hedgehog started to spell out his name. the two mobain ladies watched him write his name.
" Sil... Ver" Blaze pronounced " you name is Silver?" Silver nodded, but he lost balance and fell over. Blaze helped him back up " We need to watch out for that " she said.
" Blaze what are you doing?" Tikal asked " you hardly know him!"
" It's ok" Blaze said " Help me take him back to the castle"
Castle?... She a princess! Silver mind cried out.
" Alright but your father isn't going to like this one bit" Tikal sighed, she walked over and took Silver away from Blaze " I don't quite trust you yet " she had his arm over her shoulder while she wrapped her right arm around his waist. Silver looked back at Blaze wondering what going on, The cat shrug her shoulders and followed them back to the castle.
And so Silver's life on land begins!
