Running around in this forest seems meaningless. I'm supposed to be finding this imposter who's framing me for all the murders that happened recently in Station Square. He appeared not to long ago after my resurrection. That's a long story I do not want to go through...

I'm going to Sylvania Castle to talk to this echidna named Tikal. She claims to know what this spirit is and can maybe stop it from terrorizing the poor citizens. So far, it's been three days, and my GPS is no help whatsoever. I took a quick look behind me, and next thing I know I made contact with a brick wall. I stumbled backwards and took a long glance at the purple building. Vines were growing on top of it in all sorts of directions.

I saw a figure out the corner of my eye. It made me flinch, almost dropping the lantern I had carried in case if it was dark in the castle. The figure came out the bushes, and it must've been that Tikal girl.

"Oh, Sonic! Welcome! The front door's this way." She gave me a warm smile. I followed her to the front of the castle, which looked a lot prettier than the back, yet scarier.

"Come right on in. Don't mind the mess, the spirits love playing with the candles." I stared at that echidna. There aren't any ghosts in here... Would there?

"Thanks, Ms. Tikal, was it?" I looked at her.

"Yes, that is my name. Although, I would prefer you just call me Tikal."

"Okay then, Tikal." I stepped foot in that castle and I instantly knew for some reason, I wasn't coming back out.
