Fandom A Rose And A Thorn (Shadow x Amy)

[Breech Loader]

"I apologise," Blaze straightened up on the roof, smiling awkwardly at Vex, maybe misinterpreting him, "I can't fly though... one of you is going to have to carry me to Angel Island," she smiled at the two men.

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

"Let me get the Phantom Ruby......and I will carry you. Only with the jewel...I promise." Vex said to Blaze and went back inside the base quickly.

 

[Breech Loader]

"Well... okay.." Blaze looked at Knuckles, "How will you get up there? Will you let him carry you with his Phantom Ruby?"

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

"It'll be alright.....I trust him." Knuckles responded.

Vex came out of the base with the Phantom Ruby under his chin.

 

[Breech Loader]

"I... I'm not sure," Blaze murmured, "He... seemed to have a grudge against Sonic. A rational grudge, and he said he'd drop it but... such things are hard to let go..."

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

"It is hard to let go of things but I can let go of this grudge. For you....for everyone...." Vex told Blaze then muttered, "Well.....mainly you."

 

[Breech Loader]

Blaze nodded, "I hope you'll both forgive my caution, considering the treachery involved in my current circumstances."

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

"I understand, it's all good now. I forgive you." Vex nodded and he glanced behind his back, "Well....you...might want to hold on."

 

[Breech Loader]

Blaze wrapped an arm around Vex's shoulders for stability, "Knuckles can show us where the Floating Island is right now."

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

Vex nodded and blushed slightly then started levitating, holding onto the Wispon as he looked over at the red echidna and nodding to him.

Knuckles nodded back then jumped and started gliding towards Angel Island.

 

[Breech Loader]

Some flight time later, they did arrive at Angel Island. Blaze sat her feet down carefully, as always feeling odd from floating for so long, "Where is this hidden shrine?" she asked Knuckles.

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

Knuckles jumped onto the ground from the tree he hit. "Like I said, it's in the deepest part of this island....the only ones who have accessed it before is Sonic, Tails, myself, and Eggman. This was way back when Sonic and I were enemies. Normally, you would have to go through the Lava Reef Zone to get there....but there's a crater where it leads to the Hidden Palace." He explained.

 

[Breech Loader]

"Well, the Lava Reef holds no fears for me," Blaze smiled dryly, "I'm immune to all forms of fire. But whichever is the faster way, lead on."

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

"The crater it is. It would be a real pain to go through all that again." Knuckles said then led them into the forest of Angel Island.

Vex followed after him.

 

[Breech Loader]

Blaze followed Knuckles, then turned to Vex, "You didn't have to come along after you had your Wispon. Thankyou. And I'm glad I went with you, or I wouldn't have found Knuckles."

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

"Hey, you're welcome, Blaze. We're friends and comrades. I would like to help you." Vex said quietly to her as Knuckles continued through the forest

 

[Breech Loader]

"It's just... complicated," Blaze confessed, "It's difficult to make friends when you're a princess. I won't necesserily hate my future husband but there's no point in expecting a normal marriage."

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

"Well, most don't know that you're a princess in this dimension....and, well....I... didn't care if you were a princess. I just know you're someone I can trust. Someone I believe is my friend." Vex responded, crossing his arms.

 

[Breech Loader]

"I know I'm a princess," Blaze replied, "I suppose I could forget and do nothing..." she looked at Vex, "I... I think I'm getting 'vibes' from you, Vex..."

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

"Oh? What sort of vibes are you getting from me? I hope, uh.... they're good ones." The Jackal responded, rubbing the back of his head, not touching his spines.

 

[Breech Loader]

"I am... uncertain," Blaze confessed, "I don't want to make too many assumptions. But I think you wish I was not a princess."

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

"It's not that. I'm wouldn't try to take that role away from you...nor would I do it. It wouldn't be just to you." Vex said.

 

[Breech Loader]

"If it's not that," they continued to follow Knuckles, "Then what is it?"

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

Vex tilted his head. "It's....you wouldn't accept it anyway. You'd have to marry someone of Royal status....not a commoner." He told her.

 

[Breech Loader]

"Ah," Blaze smiled slightly, "I was worried it might be something like that. Oh, the decisions we have to make in life. Well, some of us. It's not always about princes. I just need to choose what's best for my people. What makes my country strong and secure."
