Unpredictable - Silver x !Spy! Reader

~ 3 ~

    It was another normal day. Normal, meaning everyone was living their daily lives, doing the same thing they'd always done their entire lives. Everything was relaxed and easy. Almost monotonous. No real excitement or adventure. Unless you counted the crazy teens who bought star-boards without first learning how to use them, resulting in watermelons flying all over the streets.

    So then - at least - this looked like a normal day.

    It felt off, though.

    Silver had woken up that morning with a strange energy tugging on his powers. It was something he'd never felt before. It definitely wasn't normal, but the feeling wasn't necessarily a bad one.

    So, he'd gone off to find the source of this strange tugging.

    It had led him outside of his small town, into a nearby woodland. There was all kinds of wildlife there, from the large diversity of plant life, to several kinds of small mammals running in between the tree trunks. Sunlight filtered through the canopy, giving the forest an almost ethereal glow. Birdsong echoed about the area, coupled by the gentle sound of a stream rushing along the forest floor.

    It was beautiful. Silver marveled at how a place like this could even still exist within the world today. Natural life in such bounty was hard to come by. And it had been right outside his home! How had he never noticed this? Surely when one spends their whole life in the same place, they would notice the enigma of nature right in their backyard?

    The energy pulling on him was noticeably stronger here. The ivory hedgehog continued trekking through the trees, going slow so as not to disturb the environment too much, mysterious and somewhat foreboding or not.

    After a few more minutes of wandering through the surreal habitat, Silver came upon a dark cave, nestled in the crook of two large boulders. Behind stretched a tall cliff, the top barely distinguishable through the tree tops. The strange energy was emanating from the cave, but Silver started hesitating to follow it through. It was dark inside, and this place was unfamiliar to him, not to mention the fact that such a place shouldn't even exist in the first place.

    However, by now, the telekinetic hedgehog could tell that this strange tugging wouldn't rest, that it would pull on his powers until he found it and silenced it. Somehow.

    So, cautiously, Silver crept into the tunnel, crouching lower to keep his head from brushing the ceiling. His quills weren't as lucky, and he pinned his ears back at the uncomfortable sensation. Continuing to walk anyway, Silver began to glow, the teal aura surrounding him as he used his telekinesis to light the way. With it, he could dimly see the trail sloping upwards, small drops of water running down the passage from above.

    He followed the weird tunnel for another several minutes before he could start to see a dim light in the distance. As it got closer, Silver lifted himself off the ground, putting himself parallel to it as he flew the rest of the way out.

    Upon exiting the passage, the white hedgehog nearly fell out of the sky at what he saw.

    He was no longer in the strange forest near his home. He doubted he was even close to his home.

    No, he was levitating above a tall mountain peak, which belonged to a mountain range that was resting on an island.

    A floating island.

    Now Silver knew this wasn't normal. That tunnel, that forest... they were part of some other kind of power. The power that had been tugging him.
