The Ruby Eyes of Affection

The chaotic royal family

Jessabell: Hay guys!! I wanted to warn you that this is a LOOOONG chapter. Seven pages in all which is like twice as long as I normally do them. I tried cutting down but this is setting up the plot for the ENTIRE series. There are two more seasons and a prequel after this. Thus, this chapter is going to be mostly explaining. I wish I could have made it a little more interesting and short but unfortunately this is as small as I could get it! But hay, at least you get a long chapter right? Hopefully it isn't too confusing. If you are confused about any information here, let me know. I'm actually really good at explaining and summarizing, so send me a note or comment!

Sonic awoke slightly emotionally as he gently pushed the pillow against his face attempting to hide his tears.

"Ah... So you finally awake. You've been crying out in sheer panic for hours. I was wondering when you would finally regain your composure." The strong echidna pestered sarcastically as he sat not too far away from the azure hedgehog.

"Knuckles... You're okay. Thank Chaos. I was worried I killed you or something." Sonic responded in a somewhat relieved tone as the nightmare left him with a feeling of unbelievable regret.

"Me? C'mon, I can handle my own... Let's cut to the chase, shall we?" The crimson echidna responded in a low respectable tone as he cleared his throat.

"Hmm? What do you mean?" The cobalt hedgehog replied curiously as he tilted his head in slight confusion.

"I'll spare you the details, however it's important you be are aware of my duties. As a guardian my job is to protect the Master Emerald. Up to this point, I thought that was my only duty. However, a voice just spoke to me while you were unconscious and explained some vital information I was somehow not aware of. Apparently, there are creatures in this universe with the ability to manipulate Chaos energy. There are many but two of these users are called royals. The royals are the most powerful manipulators of Chaos. You know there are two sides to everything, right? For example, light and dark or insanity to sanity. Well the royals are somewhat similar. There is one royal that regulates Chaos energy and one that frees it." Knuckles clarified as he pulled out a sheet of paper with all the notes he had written down soon after the event so he could remember.

"Oh... That makes sense, but what does that have anything to do with me...?" Sonic crossed his arms in slight frustration as he was reminded that he was supposed be doing something very important and felt like the echidna was wasting time with gibberish that didn't apply to him.

"Apparently, you are one of these creatures. You are the liberator of Chaos energy. Also known as Prince Voziti, according to the voice. In other words, you disperse or free Chaos energy in order to keep the balance. Which greatly worries me, because apparently you're one of the most powerful Mobians in the world and yet you're a clueless, egotistical kid. " Knuckles retorted as he gently massaged his forehead in minor distress.

"Voziti... That name..." Sonic's face lit up as the name sounded eerily familiar. Where in the world had he heard it?

"You are one of the keys to a harmonistic and peaceful world that apparently many of our ancestors longed to experience. That is why you are called a prince because you were originally supposed to be a ruler of Mobius. And the other key is your princess, Miran. She is the other side of the spectrum. She controls Chaos energy by manipulating the power around her. You know the saying opposites attract? This is no different. You and the princess were born to rule together and without each other the world will always be unbalanced. The voice made it seem like this perfect world created when you rule together, was the only way our planet could finally find peace." Knuckles continued as he once again glanced as his notes as if he was worried he might mix up the facts.
