Healing

3. Coated In Moonlight

As the days passed, Shadow's injuries got better and better. Pinkie and Shadow's relationship was at an all-time high as well. And now, as Shadow could finally walk again, questions he had asked himself wanted to be known to the pink horse.

Right now, the sun was starting to set as Shadow walked through what the Ponies called the Whitetail Woods.

Nature was the thing that relaxed him the most.

Up ahead, he noticed a small break in the forest, possibly leading to a field.

Suddenly, a blue blur was heading towards Shadow.

In an instant, Shadow knew who it was.

The blur stopped in front of him.

Now, In front of Shadow, the blue hedgehog, Sonic, stood with an optimistic smile.

"Shadow! You're here too? I'd knew you'd be okay!"

Shadow crossed his arms.

"Yeah. Of course I'm here."

Sonic pointed behind himself.

"Sliver and I were out trying to find tails and knuckles, but looks like we found you first."

Shadow let his arms rest.

Sliver was okay.

A huge weight was lifted off of Shadow's shoulders.

"He was really worried about you, actually."

Shadow entered the field.

It was a field of blue and yellow orchids, the sun's rays filling the clearing.

Sliver's eyes widened.

Silver started to smile huge.

"Shadow!"

Tears of relief started to seep from silver's eyes.

"You're alive!"

Shadow smirked.

"Why wouldn't I be?"

Silver slowly started to chuckle, wiping his tears from his face.

"I kinda thought you died."

Shadow and sliver walked nearer to each other.

Shadow chuckled with his reply.

"Well, actually, I almost did."

Sonic came up to listen to their conversation.

"What? Then how?" Silver asked, noting his unharmed physique.

"I had the biggest gash."

He ran his finger across his chest indicating where the gash was.

"here to here. I was practically going to bleed out."

Sonic and silver grimaced with displeasure.

"But a pink pony found me, and took me in. She sowed me up and saved my life."

"Oh, so you went down to that little village too?" Sonic asked.

"well, actually, I'm staying there at the moment. I still need a little more time to rest."

"Really? We met a few ponies in particular down there." Sonic told Shadow.

"Come to think of it, we were greeted by a certain pink pony." Silver put a hand on his chin.

"Did she have balloons on her?"

"That's the one." Shadow confirmed.

Sonic chuckled.
