SONIC FANTASY ADVENTURE (A Sonic Storybook Story)

Once upon a time, in a kingdom far, far away...
It was a time of legends, magic, and heroes... a time when man expanded his cities beyond the confines of the woods and came into contact with exotic, animal-like creatures he called Mobians. From then on, the two races lived in harmony for generations, despite the occasional misadventure.
Until one day, the Master Emerald - the wishing gem, symbol of the kingdom's capital - suddenly disappeared. This stone was a gift from Light Gaia, to protect the lands from the influence of Evil, which nevertheless infiltrated the hearts of mortals despite their attempts to resist it by any means.
The one brave soul, willing to give his life to travel the world and return the Master Emerald to its altar, was the most unlikely and unexpected hero you could imagine: an adventurer and a free-spirited country boy. Despite his humble roots, he represented Green Hill's only hope against the strange wonders that populated the vast and often dangerous lands surrounding the kingdom.
Although his supersonic speed was enough to ward off the kingdom's minor troubles, Sonic the Hedgehog also needed the help of other courageous companions, whom he would meet during his travels across the lands.
Come, then, in large numbers, and hear the legend of... SONIC FANTASY ADVENTURE
