Sonic X - Chaos Control

[AaronShadows]

Sonic was miserable; he was sitting on the edge of the island, watching Soleana blaze in the distance. He wondered if Elise had escaped; probably not. He felt like he was letting her down; she'd brought him back to life, no less, where as he was sitting here and watching her kingdom burn.

"And, yet, the prophecy has come true, so far; in my dream, I watched the world in flames, and envisioned that Knuckles would be one of the key people in stopping this evil from conquering all." Locke said.

"But you shouldn't have taken preparations into your own hands, and not to such extremes." Blaze said gently. "My father has always been real strict, and I used to resent him for that. But now I realize it was his own odd way of showing his love and trying to prepare me for my inheritance."

"Inheritance?" Locke asked, looking at Blaze. He'd never actually met Blaze, and had no idea that she was royal.

"I'm a princess from another dimension. My people play a similar role to yours, actually, except that only those of royal blood can be guardians, and the one chosen to be guardian is named ruler." Blaze replied.

Knuckles looked over to where Sonic was sitting once or twice. He could imagine what was going thru his head; but didn't go over. He didn't know how Sonic would react to sympathy.

"Maybe if you'd asked Knuckles and told him everything beforehand, it would have worked out better," Silver suggested.

"What's done is done." Locke said. "I can't change the past. I have ot look to the future, now."

Blaze nodded. "True enough."

"I can't really give any advice that way. I don't really know anything much about it."

[spirit_queen]

"Well, I appreciate the fact that you mean well." Locke said.

"I'd suggest going to talk to Knuckles," Silver said, "But I doubt he'd listen."

[spirit_queen]

"I should give him some time, I think." Locke said with a sigh.

[Miranda_]

"At least you're no longer a prisoner."

[spirit_queen]

"There's that. But I don't really know how things are set up here, and where I might sleep." Locke said.
