Lakeside, Next Morning…


As he returned to consciousness his body’s muscles cramped telling him how long he had been lying on the mossy ground. Groaning he stretched flinching as several of his bones cracked as they returned to full movement.


Ears twitching with the sound of cheerful voices he opened his blue eyes as stared in shock at the sight around him. Hundreds of flowers had opened around his position in the moss giving off a sweet fragrance that made him feel relaxed and comfortable.


Breathing in short bursts he lifted himself up slowly onto his hands and knees as he looked around, eyes wide to take in a scene he had never seen before. The cheerful sounds came again as he turned around slowly to not scare off whomever it was and looked in amazement.


Creatures he had never seen before only heard about were all around the lake diving in and out as well as flying above it. The sparkling waters perfect for these creatures to survive.


Swallowing in nervousness he made to get up when he was spotted, his still weakened form from the poison not moving as fast as he wanted. The creatures all rushed over in a chorus of happy clamourings, all quickly swimming, running or flying towards his position in the moss.


Eyes wide as they came towards him he ducked his head down, screwed up his face while curling into a frightened ball, the sudden rush of being too much for tail’s fragile mind to handle at this moment in time.


Shaking in his cocoon for a long couple of minutes, he soon calmed down and became curious of the complete silence of the area. Uncurling he looked out from the shelter of his tails and was shocked to see the entire population in front of him.


Ears lay fully back on his head as he stared frightened out at the mass of creatures that had no name in his head. Breathing quickly he watched one approach with wide eyes, two large feet stopped in front of his tails while two arms reached up towards him from a small body.


The onion shaped head tilted to the side while the floating round ball bounced just above the creatures head and wide blue eyes stared sadly up at him. Then the mouth opened and a cooing sound came from it, a very familiar sound that the others copied becoming a very familiar sound he had heard once before.


Chao?


He did not move as he stared straight into those liquid eyes, the blue of them drawing him into the innocence displayed there. Pushing himself upright so his tails did not hide him as much he reached out slowly ready to snatch his hand back and touched the creature.

An Hour Later…


A bemused feeling went through him as he watched over the ‘Chao colony’ as he had named it. The instance he had began to stroke the young Chao he had felt strange, more complete perhaps.


His hand had not stopped moving over the head and wings of the little one in his lap as he looked protectively over what he was beginning to feel that was ‘his’. No one knew where the colony was, no one knew it was here or the place would have been turned into a resort for the town to rank money in.


He bared his fangs in anger at the thought. It was a reason why the colony was so large, other areas of fresh water where the Chao had live had been turned into areas of usage by the council of the town’s.


It made him feel sick that the people of the islands did not care what they did to the inhabitants; they destroyed and built in its place, producing pollution and decimating the area.


He had been lucky enough to live on a section of the island that catered mostly to woodland and forestry. Even though the townspeople tried to cut down the forest something seemed to re-grow the trees that had been cut the next day stopping the place being deforested.


He himself felt natural to this part of the woods and tried his best to protect it but at 8 years of age the townspeople had an advantage over himself and the very small creations he made.


Ears drooping he sighed while looking up at the canopy, eyes distant in thought until a touch to his paw shook him out of his thoughts, looking down he saw the Chao in his lap had been joined with another, both watching him with big blue eyes.


Slight smile on his face he slid his arms around them and stood up his mind set on forgetting the troubles of the townspeople and the forest for the moment. Running around the lake two laughing Chao in his arms and several flying Chao trying to catch him, he let himself go and be his age for that moment in time.


For what he did not know was the peace that he had found wound not last, a great evil would soon come upon the islands and cloak them all in darkness forever never to be seen again.

I want to ask you all what are the Zones that Tail’s and Sonic go through? I need a reference to base certain parts of this story off. Any information would help like Zones in order, the names, what the Zones like etc. Thank you.
