ONLY ONE CHANCE (SONADOW) ENGLISH VERSION

Part 2

I opened my eyes slowly, the sun's rays were ruling the sky again, entering my room, I removed the warm red blanket that covered my body, I sat on my bed letting out a heavy sigh. Today would be my first day.

I stretched and walked to the bathroom so I could take a shower and refresh my face, I dried myself from my face to my feet, took my brush and arranged my spikes, and especially my white fur. I looked at myself in the mirror, I looked nervous, so I needed to concentrate, since I couldn't stop thinking about the thousands of possibilities where I could screw up, I rubbed my eyes anxiously and my body began to tremble, I quickly reacted and just looked at the mirror again, shook my head a couple of times and left the bathroom, I stopped when I saw my armor again, this one was different from the others, it came adorned with small figures similar to diamonds, but these were red, placed on the top of the head. the gloves, which came accompanied by rings on the wrists, and on the shoes, along with the sword, which was adorned with gold, as much as from the tip to the end.

I put on that heavy armor, calmly trying not to make too much of a fuss, since everything was iron and steel. Finishing, I put on that helmet that covered my entire face, looked at myself in the mirror to make sure everything was in place, sighed and walked to the heavy wooden door, opened it, thus finally leaving that place.

Walking through the halls, I turned my attention to the large paintings that were in the place, they were really huge, I saw especially one where there was the portrait of the king, Black Doom, next to his son, the prince, Sonic. He had that same indifferent expression, the same one he showed me just the night before, in that intimidating room. Will the prince always be like that? Could it be that all his suspicions of an arrogant prince were coming true? I wasn't sure, until someone took me out of my thoughts. It was that sweet young woman again, she had that cheerful and friendly smile that made her stand out from the others, she gave me confidence.

-Good morning young Shadow, I hope you were able to rest last night.-

She adjusted her dress a little as she said that. I paid attention to her movements so I could respond.

-I... eh... yes, quite comfortable, nothing compared to my old room.-

She stopped arranging her clothes to pay attention curiously.

-Oh, you come from another palace?

I shook my head slightly with a small smile.

-No, I may come from a somewhat distant town, you know, to supply some heavy loads.-

She was a little surprised by that, as her happy expression changed to one of astonishment.

-Oh, so you're talking about the poor people?

I looked at her out of the corner of my eye, since her response had been a bit out of place, if she weren't such a nice and friendly woman. I showed a small smile, somewhat uncomfortable at the comment, looking away from her.

-Yes, I think so.-

I scratched my head a little because I didn't know what to answer, which, she noticed, now she looked terrified.

-Oh, Mr. Shadow, I'm so sorry, I mean, I didn't mean to say something like that, I mean, I don't think you're poor, if you think so, it's okay if you're poor, I mean, I'm not saying you look like it, o-o-.-

I stopped her, the conversation was already getting awkward.

-Relax, I understand your point, mmm how about you show me a little of what is done around here, I don't know where to start.-

She nodded excitedly and insisted that I follow her, to which I obeyed. She showed me different parts of the castle, everything was still beautiful there, she talked to me cheerfully as we walked through the halls.
