Back at the palace with 'Amy'...


'Amy' jumped over the walls to the palace while taking off her ordinary town civilian clothes and sneaking back inside the palace. Then guards rushed in and found her.

Guard: There you are princess! Come on! You're going to be late with your meeting with prince Vector.  King Shahryar is already there waiting for you.*Sorry. Didn't know who else to put here.*

'Amy': Yes, of course. I'll be there in a moment.

The guards left the room while 'Amy' just stood there for a moment and then left for her room to get dressed. In the throne room, King Shahryar was waiting in the throne room with his advisor, Lord Hood, Lord Hood's assistant, Impish, Prince Vector, and the princess' handmade and best friend, the real Amy Rose.

King Shahryar: Welcome, Prince Vector. We trust you had an enjoyable journey.

Then 'Amy' came in in a beautiful dress. The dress looks like this:

Prince Vector: Oh, wow. *admiring her*

The princess walks over to them.

King Shahryar: Prince Vector, my daughter... Princess Blaze.

Prince Vector: S-So... Why did no one tell me of your beauty?

Blaze: *in a sarcastic tone* No one mentioned yours, either.

Prince Vector: Oh, thank you. They say that in the Sky Sanctuary. Am I right? It's... It's very, very amusing.

Blaze: Is it?

Prince Vector: Yeah.

Blaze: We have that same title yet are never described the same way.

King Shahryar clears his throat and looks at Blaze.

King Shahryar: *clears his throat*... Blaze.

Blaze looks towards Shahryar and then looks away.

Prince Vector: Yeah...

Vector then spots a tiger next to Blaze that she brought into the room when she came in.

Prince Vector: Oh. What is that? Don't. Don't tell me. It's a cat... with stripes.

Lord Hood, who was next to the throne, looked at Impish who was next to him. Impish decided to play a trick on Vector.

Impish: Hmm. He seems to like you.

Prince Vector: I know. Cause in the Sky Sanctuary, cats love me. 

Vector bent down in front of the tiger and started waving the fuzzy thing on the end of his staff in front of it. 

Prince Vector: Here, kitty-kitty. Hey, kitty-witty. Hey, kitty-kitty, kitty...

Then suddenly the tiger attacked him while Vector's screams were loud enough for the entire kingdom to hear. Later after the incident, Lord Hood was talking to King Shahryar with Impish next to him.

Lord Hood: My Sultan... Our enemies grow stronger every day, yet you allow your daughter to dismiss Prince Vector and a possible military alliance. Which enemies? Soleanna continues to amass.

Shahryar: Soleanna is our ally.

Lord Hood: Was our ally.

Shahryar: You would drag us into a war with our only...

Lord Hood: Yet you would allow your kingdom to sink into ruin, for MERE SENTIMENT!

Shahryar: Lord Mordred Hood! Remember your place.

Lord Hood: ... I apologize. Forgive me, my Sultan. I went too far. 

Lord Hood paused. Turned away from Shahryar for a moment. He turned around to face him again. Then his staff, which looked like a cobra, eyes started to glow bright red and started to hypnotize Shahryar.

Lord Hood: But... if you would only reconsider, I think you would see that invading Soleanna is the right thing to do.

Shahryar: In...vading Soleanna... is...

???: Invade Soleanna? 

Lord Hood stopped what he was doing, turned towards the entrance of the room for where the voice came from, and saw Blaze standing there with her tiger, Rajah. Shahryar turned back to normal with no memory of what just happened.

Blaze: Why would we invade Mother's kingdom?

Shahryar: We would never invade Soleanna.

Lord Hood: But an ally in the Sky Sanctuary would improve our situation.

Shahryar: Yes. If you consider giving Prince Vector a chance.

Blaze: To rule? Father, Rajah would make a better ruler.

Shahryar: My dear, I'm not getting any younger. We must find you a husband and... we are running out of kingdoms. *chuckling*

Blaze: What foreign prince can care for our people as I do? I could lead, if only...

Shahryar: My dear, you cannot be a sultan. Because it has never been done in the thousand-year history of our kingdom.

Blaze: I have been preparing for this my whole life. I have read every...

Lord Hood: -Books? But you cannot read experience. Inexperience is dangerous. People, left unchecked, will revolt. Walls and borders, unguarded, will be attacked.

Shahryar: Lord Hood is right. One day, ...you will understand. You may leave now.

Blaze stormed out of the room while Lord Hood followed, leaving Shahryar to think to himself. Blaze stopped in the middle of the hallway with Rajah. Rajah started to growl at Lord Hood when he went behind her.

Lord Hood: Life will be kinder to you, Princess, once you accept these traditions and understand it's better for you to be seen... and not heard.

Lord Hood looked like he would've went closer and continued if Rajah hadn't growled at him more, causing him to back away and leave. Blaze stood there for a little bit, then went to her room, and started to sing to herself. *Play Video*

Blaze: *singing* 🎵 Here comes a wave

🎵 Meant to wash me away,

🎵 A tide that is taking me under.

🎵 Broken again,

🎵 Left with nothing to say,

🎵 My voice drowned out in the thunder.

🎵 But I can't cry,

🎵 And I cant start to crumble.

🎵 Whenever they try,


🎵 To shut me or cut me down,

🎵 I can't stay silent,

🎵 Though they wanna keep me quiet,

🎵 And I tremble when they try it.


🎵 All I know,

🎵 Is I won't,

🎵 Go speechless.

Blaze sadly sat down, by herself. Wishing that everything could change for the better.
