{Sonic} A Medieval Story

Shadow of a Doubt

~Back with the Renegades~

"An assassin in Mobius?" Shade asks. Amy nodded then the girls looked at each other and laugh. Amy groaned, "What is so funny?" Blaze stifles her laugh, "Apologies but, it's just preposterous to assume there would be an assassin in Mobius, less believable that he'd be a knight." Amy rolls her eyes, "Because mobian knights are nothing but noblemen, right?"

Rouge puts her hand up, "Beside the point, who cares? If they wish to kill the future king, let them." "The problem isn't with the prince. I don't even...care about him. That assassin could kill us too." "Kill who? You, perhaps, considering all your spent time with the speed demon?"

Amy frowns, "I haven't spent that much time with him! We're all playing a role, and for one purpose only. And these roles might just be enough to get us killed!" Rouge gets close to Amy's face, "All the more reason why we should cut our losses and get the hell out of here. Alive, Amelia!" Amy shoved her, "We are not leaving without that crown!"

Rouge growls, "If you want to get yourself killed because some greedy commoner wants the king's crown, then you do so alone! I am not gonna risk my life for a Mobian." "We're not just dealing with a commoner this time. We may be dealing with a sorcerer, a dark one of some sort." 

Blaze slightly gasps, "How do you know?" "Scourge mentioned the man wore a ring. His hand and part of his arm were pitch black as if they were burnt. I assumed it was a curse." "But if he were a sorcerer, his magic would never affect him." "Well, I'm not entirely certain what or who he is, I just know he's dangerous. And he's currently in the place that we're in. So if we don't, at least, find out who he is, we're dead either way." 

Rouge scoffs and looks away. Amy sighed, walking up to her, "At least help me find out who he is. You are the best at finding people, Rouge. Find him so that we may stay out of his path." Rouge remained silent, and Amy smirked, "And who knows...maybe you can be the one to kill this assassin. We know he's a mobian knight..." Rouge slowly starts to smirk, then she turns to look at Amy, "Next time, start with that." She nods and shakes her hand, then Rouge sighs, "What do you want me to do?" 

Amy smiles, then sighs, "I need you to get information from a particular knight. I highly doubt he's the assassin but, keep your guard up if anything. If I'm right, it...might help us get information. So...you're probably not gonna like this." Rouge squints her eyes, "...Who is it?"

~Training yard~

'That stupid Amy!' Rouge thinks to herself as she makes her way to the training grounds. 'I don't understand why do we have to keep meeting with these mobian scum? I mean, with my skills, I could have that crown in two seconds with none the wiser. Yet, here we are, playing pretend...'

She looks around the empty training area. All the weapons are laid out on the ground however, there were no knights around. She sighs, "Where the hell is this bastard?" 'At least by the end of this, I'm sure I'll get the pleasure of watching some of these mobian dogs die by an assassin...And if I find this alleged assassin, I get to kill a mobian myself.'
