Ch 8: The Children of the Sanctuary
The Children of the Sanctuary
Children giggled and ran around as the group walked around. Cyrus was telling Sally, Rotor, Tails, Amy, Bunnie, and Antoine about the Sanctuary when a group of kids ran up to Sonic and his siblings.
"Hey, Sonic, Sonia, and Manic," said a kid that looked like a crocodile, "can you play a song for us. You promised you would."
"Yeah." the rest of the kids said as they were excited that they came to visit.
"Of course, a hedgehog always keeps his promise." Sonic said. He along with Sonia and Manic transformed their medallions to instruments. Unlike the song they played at Knothole, this song was softer and slower.
Children Light the Way
Sonic: Nothing's quite as beautiful as the laughter of a child; or the wonder inside every little smile
Sonic and Manic: Maybe love and hope and tenderness or laughter soon will leave; Children want a world to grow where they feel free
All: Teach the children, light the way
Sonic: Help them make a better day
All: Show them how to help each other when they fall; Learning how to get along
Sonia: To show love, yet be strong
Sonic: Helps the children light the way for us all
All: Teach the children, light the way
Manic: They deserve a better day
All: Show them how to help each other when they fall; Learning how to get along
Sonia: To show love, yet be strong
All: Let the children light the way for us all
Sonic: Let the children light the way for us all
End of Song
Everyone cheered as the triplets bowed then turned their instruments back into medallions.
"That was great Sonic." Sally said as she walked up to the blue hedgehog. She kissed him on the cheek.
"Thanks, Sal." Sonic replied, blushing a bit.
"That was a very touching song, Sugar-hog." Bunnie said. Her eyes were filled with tears held back.
"Yeah, anyway, we should get some rest so we can get to the Syrian Desert and stop Robuttnik." Sonic said. Everyone nodded and went to their cabins. Sally and Bunnie helped Sonic, Sonia, Manic, and Cyrus get the children into their cabins.
Syrian Desert
"Sleet, is the preparation almost complete." Robotnik said as he stepped out of his hover car along with Snively.
"Preparation, are we throwing a party for someone." Dingo asked.
"No you idiot. He is talking about emeralds." Sleet said.
"I thought the echidna was guarding the emerald." the orange dingo said. Sleet put his head in his hand in frustration.
"We are talking about the lost emeralds of Amon-Rapi."
"Oh, why?" Dingo again asked.
"Because their energies are similar to the Power rings that Robotnik talked about." The gray wolfed then turned to the round dictator. "Anyway, we should have all the emeralds by tomorrow my lord."
"Good, be prepared for the freedom fighters. They and the three pesky royal brats are coming."
"Is Sonia going to be here too?" Dingo said, making a lovesick face at the thought of the pink hedgehog.
"Dingo, snap out of it. She is the enemy repeat Sonia is the enemy." Sleet said, slapping him on the head.
"Sorry, but she's pretty." the orange dingo made another lovesick face. Sleet sighed before slapping him again.
