Chapter 3: Blazingly Ever After
There they came. In the city they entered. On a killing spree they were.
An army of machines.
An army of death.
Crazy went the people. Slaughtered was their skin. They cried for help, for their queen to save them.
Queen Blaze, daughter of Solaris, save your subjects from a fate of death!
Save your people from sufferance and demise!
Accomplish what you were bound for and lead us into victory!
And she heard those cries… And she heard those demands… And the unmistaken sound of metal through tender flesh… A vessel of death, all in all.
The amazing weight of her gift… Of her curse… Finally showed up. A chance to be loved again, she was about to take.
A shame it was, that the battle was already lost. Killed her guards were and whoever survived, a vile flee they took. Alone she was, surrounded by the enemy, impotent and defeated.
She failed. She was not the chosen one. Just a frightened kid, she happened to be.
All hate, the phony queen!
All hate, Blaze!
Caught by despair, no longer she could take it. Too much it was. Too much sorrow. Too much loneliness. Too much… Anger!
She despised herself for being this worthless monster. She despised her people for isolating her. She hated the silver hedgehog for how he treated her.
All she wanted, was for all this… To burn!
And down it came, the first tear… And a platoon of machines was reduced to ashes.
And down it came, the second tear… And the royal palace was engulfed by flames, along with her screaming step parents.
And down came all the other tears. Tears of despair. Tears of rage. Tears of fear. Tears of uncontrollable hate.
Everything burnt. Consumed by the flames. Nobody was spared. For the fury of a God, they all would perish.
Machines and Mobians alike, matter it didn't.
Everything burnt. Instantly killed. The Flames of Disaster, unleashed they went. On their doing, no more control she had.
And for this night, red was the sky… The City of Water has now became… The City of Flames.
Death overcame.
Only she remained. A single blaze… Between blazes.
A single soul… Alone in sorrow.
All hail, the queen of flames!
All hail, Blaze!
And so… The tragedy was consumed… And everybody has died… No one escaped her desperate fury. The city of Soleanna was no more and all the kingdom fell after it.
No one ever knew the truth… Officially the destruction was caused by the Eggman Empire.
Than, the former feline queen became a Freedom Fighter and the rest is history…
I always find this tale rather amusing… Especially the ending. Eheheheheheheheheheh…
As you could see, mortals, True Power always requires a price… An high price, indeed, but it's worth it.
When you are chosen by fate, you cannot escape…
Try as you might… It's useless, you will find…
In the end… You shall pay a price.
A price of solitude… A price of grief…
A price of death… A price of life…
Others' life.
But fate can be rewritten… By the one who can control Chaos itself…
And when the three vessels of Intelligence, Strength and Speed, shall brought that power right into my grasp… Everything will change…
For our time shall begin!
So it is said… So it will be.
The tale is over, children, and your bedtime has arrived.
Farewell… For now. And just remember…
Emotions are the blaze of our soul… Everyone burns!
But every night I burn
But every night I call your name
Every night I burn
Every night I fall again
