Nimbus' Destined

What Happened Before...

...it all started back about twenty-four years ago. King Dmitri was ruler at that time, a just but closed minded king. We Fae had faded into the pages of myth, keeping mostly to ourselves after the first war. This is a whole other story I'll explain later.

Anyway...Dmitri had two sons: his eldest, Titan, and his youngest, Pierre. Pierre loved to travel, and would often be out of the palace for days at a time with no restrictions.
Titan, on the other hand, was not. Being the heir to the throne, he was "protected from harm" by never being allowed to leave the palace or its grounds.

One day, the king organized a ball to be held, to find Titan a queen for when he took over. Enraged, Titan ran away from the palace, fleeing to the home of a servant girl, the girl he'd fallen in love with...
As he got to know the girl more, they were interrupted by an attack! An evil fae named Lazainiar...! But-"

"But Chaos swooped in and saved them!" Chip interrupted. He cringed as Chaos gave him a glare. "Heh heh...as you were saying...?"

"Right...I managed to bring the two back to our encampment, and I warned Titan that Lazainiar was ruthless and might try to hurt them again. Two years later, he returned to Nimbus, overthrowing his father and taking the throne for himself as both the King of Nimbus and the Fae.

Titan threw a ball to celebrate his rule, but just as things were going well, was when Lazainiar appeared. They and Lazainiar fought, with the girl, your mother, using her powerful connection as our Queen, to revoke Lazainiar of her Fae status and transform her into a nimbian hedgehog, though still extremely powerful.

Lazainiar could no longer kill them, but she swore revenge on them...and their offspring."

"Us..." Shadow murmured, sitting up from his decontamination bath. "...So mother sent us away because we were too little to defend ourselves."

"But that doesn't explain how Shadow wound up on the Ark fifty years ago." Blaze pointed out. "Or how Silver got to the future with me."

"On the contrary," Chaos stood up. "Your mother knew that Lazainiar would come looking for you as toddlers and infants together, so she split you up amongst time and space, so that she wouldn't find you together until you were ready to fight them off."
He lifted his head. "Her men may have weapons to counteract your hereditary powers, but they can't prepare for your nonhereditary..."

"What do you mean?" Sonic asked.

"The powers you're used to using are the powers passed down to you from your ancestors, but every royal has at least one power that is their own...Venice has already figured out his, only due to Light Gaia's intervention...!"

"What's that?" Sonic asked.

"You'll see when its appropriate..." Venice jeered. "Now, we'd better get a move on. The others will catch up."

"What others?" Shadow asked.

Chip grinned, "You weren't the only kids sent away..."
