Just a Dream

Chapter 34: Legendary Dream

Sneaking into Yubala's castle wasn't all that hard. Sonic had learned a few things back when he was training with everyone, preparing him on how to break into Yubala's castle if anything went wrong. Climbing the wall in the stormy weather and getting inside the castle through a high window was difficult for Amy. She wasn't physically ready for it so She'd misplace where she'd put her feet and often her foot would slip. Sonic was behind her making sure she wouldn't slip off the tower.

Making it to the window she tried to pull herself in but the cold numb her arm and she had no force to pull herself in. Sonic had to push at her shoes and up into the window.

Amy climbed up and into a dark room inside the castle. Sonic then made his way in. Sonic crossed his arms. "What happened to the Amy who knew how to climb trees and stuff?"

"First of all this isn't a tree! Second of all I've only climbed trees!" Amy angrily said.

Sonic put his finger in front of his mouth and shushed her. Amy blushed angrily but didn't say anything back. They needed to find Seth. The room was small but all around the small room's walls were weapons. Amy looked around in awe. Sonic, meanwhile, made his way to the door across from the window. He opened it slowly and stepped to the side to make sure nothing popped out. Nothing did.

Amy skipped to the side of the door and peeked down at the stairs heading down. A spiral staircase that headed down and they had no idea where it would lead.

"You go first," Amy teased, but she was serious.

Sonic walked in front of her and made his way down. Amy closed the door after she went through and they were in total darkness.

"Amy!" Sonic hissed.

"Well, it was either we have light or leave evidence behind that someone was here,"

She had a good point. Sonic couldn't see much, but the smallest of outlines of where she stood. He reached out and touched her arm. "Stay close. This place could be booby trapped."

They reached the bottom of the staircase and at the bottom was a door that brought them to another room. In that room there was a guard, a shadow man, holding a spear and watching the hallway. Sonic backed away. "Amy," He turned to her and whispered, "Can you by any chance sense Seth?"

"Somewhat," Amy held her chest. She closed her eyes and stood there for a moment. Then she spoke, "He's on the other side of this floor. We need to get past him,"

Sonic smirked. "On it,"

The guard was standing there peacefully, looking at a painting of an evil snowman which was holding a flower, hanging on the wall. He then was focused on a rock that rolled on the floor. The creature got into a fighting position and looked around alarmed. He then saw Amy peeking out from the corner of wall. He aimed the spear at her and Amy jumped out with her hands up. The shadow flew towards her, but he failed to notice Sonic jumping out from behind a statue and kicking its head. The shadow screeched and disappeared. Sonic grabbed the spear and gestured for Amy to follow him down the hallway.

"Are we near?"

"Just a few doors down, I think..."

"What do you mean I think?! It's either you know or don't."

"I know he's around here!" She claimed and stopped when a flush of emotions rushed through her. Sonic stopped once he noticed she did and looked back. Amy pointed at a door in front of her. "I can feel something coming from this door,"

Sonic ran back and placed his hand on the door. Amy placed her ear on the door trying to hear something, anything. Sonic was about to grab the handle when he felt his chest clench. He turned around and sensed danger. He grabbed Amy's hand and backed away. "Something doesn't seem right,"
