Blaze woke up and got out of bed. The sun shined brightly through the window to greet the cat from her slumber.

'What a bright sun' she thought and smiled. Blaze walked out of her room and into the kitchen and started making breakfast.

'Now, what should I add this morning?' she thought. Everyone in the village had rice for breakfast as it was tradition. But Blaze sometimes added herbs or spices to add flavor to the bland rice.

'Oh, how about some of this and, oh definitely this' said Blaze as she grabbed various herbs and spices for the rice.

'Morning Blaze!' came a cheery voice. Blaze turned around to see Silver, her brother, standing next to her. Silver was slightly smaller than Blaze by centimeters, but made up for it in his maturity.

'Morning Silver!' replied Blaze, bending down and giving Silver a hug. Silver returned the hug and broke it a few seconds later. 'How was your sleep?' asked Blaze.

'Good. How about you?' asked Silver. 'Can't complain.'

'What's for breakfast?'

'Rice with a bit of…' Blaze started, reciting every herb and spice she used.

'Wow. That's a lot of herbs and spices. But then again, you always use a lot' Silver replied with a chuckle at the end. Blaze liked it in the mornings. She would always wake up and was followed by Silver, whom she loved, and the standard good morning. Soon that was followed by…

As if on cue, Blaze's father walked in.

'Morning Blaze' said Sonic, wrapping his arms around her and kissed her on the cheek.

'Morning dad' replied Blaze to the hedgehog.

'Morning Silver' said Sonic, rubbing Silver's head. 'Morning dad' replied Silver.

'All done' said Blaze, handing a bowl to Silver and Sonic.

'This is good' said Silver. 'Like always' followed Sonic. Blaze smiled and started eating. Minutes later, everyone was finished and ready for the day ahead.

'I'll see both of you tonight' Sonic said.

'Good luck in the fields today' said Blaze. 'Have a good day' said Silver. Sonic left the hut leaving Silver and Blaze alone.

'So, what do we have to do today?' asked Silver. 'Clean our rooms and nothing else really. We have a free day' answered Blaze. 'Kay. What are you going to do?'

'Clean my room and then go to the usual spot. And you?' asked Silver.

'Going to hang out with Cream and Tails' answered Blaze.

Silver finished cleaning his room and left to go to his usual spot. It was a spot that overlooked the whole village and surrounding areas.

It was a secluded cliff that only he, Blaze and one other person knew about. He would usually come here whenever he got free time or he needed to think.

Most times he came here, like now, it was both. All he would do was think on many different things. He sometimes usually spoke odd things that came out of his mouth without warning and he would need to think about the meaning behind them.

When he first came here, the village was thriving and lively. But now the village was succumbing to a disease and the crops of rice were dying.

Silver had once said that the crops would fail without thought and no one paid attention. Days later, the crops started dying.

Silver wanted to go with Blaze but he didn't mix with the other kids. Silver kept thinking as he slowly fell asleep.

Blaze left the hut to go meet up with her friends Cream and Tails. She would have taken Silver with her, but he didn't mix with the other kids in the village.

Cream and Tails were both close friends of Blaze even though they had come to the village a few years back, they all became quick friends.

Cream and Tails were in love and Blaze was the friend who supported them. Blaze walked through the trees and into the village.

People greeted her as she walked through the huts to her friends. Tails and Cream were both waiting for her under a large tree.

'Hey guys!' called Blaze. 'Blaze!' both Tails and Cream exclaimed. Blaze walked over to the pair and sat next to them. They all started talking about things happening in the village, each other and Blaze gave the update about Silver.

Tails and Cream were the only two children, besides Blaze, who liked and understood Silver. When they first met, Silver was cautious but came to trust and like them.

'Hey Blaze' Tails said.

'Yeah?' asked Blaze.

'I know you don't say too much about Silver, but how about telling us about how Silver came into your family'

I told you that you would get a longer chapter.
