"So that's what happened to me" sighed Amy and gave a somewhat regretful and sad face to Sonic. Like she was still thinking that she is the one to blame for what happened back then. But no, the whole incident, the unimaginable pain, the sorrow was the church's and the witch hunters' fault. In the same time if only she could have sensed the danger somehow, maybe she would be able to protect the people who loved her.

Sonic looked at her with a serious expression and said:

"You see, the inquisition is already over and the church's power got reduced drastically. You could at least come back to town with me and see that they can forgive you. Those who made you flee are long dead anyway"

He rubbed his eyes and yawned. The girl indeed told her story for a long time. An hour or two probably. Amy got up from her comfortable chair that looked like a tattered arm chair, although it was made out of snow and walked closer to the young male hedgehog.

"You look tired Sonic. Follow me, I show you a room where you can sleep" she said then walked to the doors. Sonic got up from his chair and went after her. They walked through some ridiculously long hallways decorated with statues with missing parts such as limbs or minor stone parts. They got damaged during the siege and over the years. They also climbed some stairs. Around two because one is half damaged and you cannot proceed further.

When they arrived to the room where Sonic could get some rest until morning, Amy opened the door. The room was surprisingly clean and warmer than the outside. Unlike the other room and places in the enormous castle this was not touched at all. It could be the maids' room since it was not really that decorated and it was small. It had a dusty old wardrobe with a medieval design, since we are in a fantasy world and a small bed fit for one person only. Two or more people would get uncomfortable in it and will not be able to sleep.

"It's the only room that wasn't damaged over the siege. Probably because it's in the other end of the castle where rocks and bullets cannot reach. Plus it'll be warm if I put a bigger candle for you." said Amy and took out a box of matches and lit the candle she grabbed from a table while they were walking to the room.

Sonic put down his stuff at the end of the bed and sat down on it while looking around in the semi dark room. Looks like a single candle is not enough to light the entire room. He sighed, releasing a thinner layer of steam from his mouth compared the ones in the other rooms of the castle and turned his head towards the pretty sorceress girl, Amy.

"Tomorrow, you come with me to town and I make you see the people are able to forgive you. No objections." said Sonic on a serious tone.

"Fine. You won't get off of me otherwise. I really missing some fun anyway" said Amy with a faint smile on her face.

Sonic then indicated Amy to come closer to him and when she did, he cuddled her down on the bed next to her. The girl, eyes widened asked:

"What the hell are you doing?"

"You have spent so many times alone. I think it'll be good for you if you sleep with me just to feel you're not alone anymore. If you don't want to, then just leave." said Sonic.

Amy felt a warm feeling spreading all over her body, like the ice cold heart of her started beating again. She felt a bit embarrassed since he never slept with a man before. Thought came into her mind like:

"This is almost like in one of my romantic novels that I have read lately. The boy gives a new hope to the broken girl then they fell in love with each other and they live happily ever after. But that was just a story, right. A thing that can entertain people. There's no chance for it to happen in real life. Anyway, I go with Sonic tomorrow."

She then fell asleep feeling safe in the young male hedgehog's arms.


A new dark fantasy story is on the way. The reader will be placed into Amy's point of view. Based on the worldwide manga and anime hit Berserk and the popular game franchise, Dark Souls.
