Blaze

Fire. It was what existed in conjunction with her, down to her very name.

She grew up in a world surrounded by people who all had unique abilities, but even around this crowd, she still stood out.

It set her apart because all of her people had powers that could create, that could inspire and behold.

Her power could only destroy. She couldn't use her powers to interact with anything or anyone without causing them harm. It didn't help that her world was also regularly beset by fire, a ravenous flame that only consumed.

So it was inevitable that when people often learned of her power, they looked at her strangely. It was as if they had viewed her in the same light as the fire they fought against every day of their lives.

This only increased her self-doubt. Was she the fire, or the cause of it? Was she a manifestation of the hatred and maliciousness that plagued them?

What could she do in response to this?

She didnt know the answer, and because of this, she isolated herself. She shut herself in her own little world, only interacting when absolutely necessary, performing her duty with determination... but with pure isolation.

She was alone.

But then she met him.

She'd been on a solo adventure, as usual, seeking answers, and in the process met one who was apparently just as strong as she, just as dedicated. But he seemed... freer, for lack of a better term. Yes he was fully aware of the consequences of failing for the tasks that he had set out to do, but apparently it didn't bother him.

He taught her that she didn't have to take the whole world on her shoulders. He protected her when she was teased, or when others had viewed her with suspicion and doubt. He...found beauty in her powers, saying that it was heartening to see fire that was used to protect, rather than to destroy.

She had also discovered that she'd actually been a bit selfish in her isolation. The world wasn't just hers alone to protect, it belonged to everybody else who lived in it. She realized that if one person could see her for her, then others would come around too.

"The servers are the seven Sols" Seven square emeralds encircled her, and her cape became a brilliant red.

"The Sols are power, enhancing my flames…" She felt her internal fires grow brighter and intensify.

"The controller serves to unite the suns, so that we may ourselves may shine" Her fur turned a bright pink, flames adorning the edges of her clothing, and a fiery aura appeared around her.

She vowed to be strong. She knew now how she could use her powers to protect. Her flames would now be able to protect the world, and never alone.


Author's Note

Blaze's story is a little tricky, namely because she transforms with a different set of Emeralds, so I had to alter the mantra a bit. Basically, I combined this introspective with Sonic Rush and 06, both when she finally opens up to others, and when she was reportedly teased as a child for her pyrokinesis.

Also, as to the other person who it is that she's referring to? Its either Sonic or Silver. I'll leave that up to you readers as to who you think it should be, though I find that it fits the both of them.
