Kingdoms (ShadAmy)

Message Chao returns

It was evening when my messenger chao had returned with a letter from Princess Cream. I was quick to open and read what it said.

Dear Princess Amy

You are having one of a kind adventure! From the three letters you have sent to me (before I could respond to even the first one) it seems you are living a new kind of fairy tale. I never knew the South Prince, (or Shadow if I may call him as well) was so nice. I wish a lot of other kingdoms would get to know him better as well; it must be hard to keep his people alive when no one wants anything to do with him or try and help him out. And what of Prince Sonic? There was only a small part about him… I’m sure he just has to get to know you first, you’re a wonderful hedgehog Princess Amy, who couldn’t like you!? I’m very excited to say, I’m looking forward to another letter with another ‘chapter’ of this adventure you are having.

-You’re friend always,

Princess Cream

Oh yes, my letter I was righting during my lesson! I ran for my desk feeling on the inside for my paper. My heart fluttered when I didn’t find it in an instant second. If anyone else were to find that letter I would be dead! But I was put at ease when my hand gripped the paper and pulled it from the desks inside. I quickly read over it now having to add what happened with Sonic.

I took at my quill and began to finish off my letter;

Shadow had dropped me off in my room after the party; where we danced until we both couldn’t hold our eyes open anymore.

Then today in the afternoon prince Sonic arrived saving me from my horrible boring studies. Only he didn’t really want to be with me… we got in a small argument and I even yelled at him!! (I’m surprised I am still alive). But he didn’t get angry, well he did get a little angry but we worked it out and he took me out for lunch. Out of all the exquisite and delectable foods we have in the palace, did you know that Sonic’s favorite food is a chili dog? It’s a link of meat (there are different types some being full beef and others made with left over parts from the animal) that is held in a small roll of bread split in half, smothered with a chili (almost like a soup) with hardy spices and onions topped off with a sprinkle of cheese. It was a commoner food MUCH too messy to be eaten neatly at the dinner table in the castle, and not the best of foods if you have intolerance to spicy food… I feel the chili coming back to haunt me. In any case, Sonic is a really nice guy once you get to know him (and he isn’t busy sulking that he has to be there when he rather be somewhere else.)  Although I really should catch up on sleep, I’m hoping to see Shadow again…

Until next time,

Princess Amy.

Finally I finished putting it in the envelope and marked it with the royal ceil and handed it back to my Chao. She frowned complaining she was tired from her long journey back to me. I gave her some water and food letting her rest some more before she took my letter to Cream. Just then a black and red chao fluttered in my window, the same colors of Shadow it obviously had to be his messenger chao. My little pink chao came up to meet him, and like the prince wasn’t good with new people and was a little rude to her, but tossed me a small letter before hissing back at my chao.

Amy, its Shadow. I wanted to inform you that you should catch up on your sleep. I won’t be coming to night there are other issues I must attend to. In any case you make sure you are well rested for the morning. I will be seeing you some time in the evening tomorrow.

-Shadow

I felt a little sad that he wasn’t coming back tonight, but I was tired… I should probably listen and get to sleep. I distracted the dark chao with a piece of food while my chao retired to her perch away from the argument. After eating the snack the chao up and left blending in with the dark sky as the sun had set. I let my chao stay the night,  not wanting her to get harmed by anything that might be flying and hungry for chao’s.

I understand Shadow not wanting to be seen with me due to his misunderstood reputation, but if he stays up all night would that mean he sleeps all day? The little chao wasn’t afraid to go out at night? Of course it had a great advantage blending in with the dark, but with those black hawks circling the skies wouldn’t it be afraid?

I got in bed and snuggled under the covers my chao nuzzling into my arms and slowly drifted off to sleep.
