To Protect The Past

Well I’m sorry for the long wait you all but things were hectic at home, I’ve not been well for a long time now and it caught up with me, my fictions suffered and so did I. I became far too tired most of the time to do anything but keeping up with my studies. But now they have been able to identify what was wrong and have me on pills to keep me going. I’m going in for more tests at the hospital so I’m very anxious and terrified in myself. But I will keep on writing until it kills me.

Thanks to:

To Protect the Past
Chapter 4:
I have returned to the ones I must protect with my life

--------------------


Blaze and Silver sat quietly together both looking out into the moonlit sky, the clouds for once letting the silver light shine down and bathe the city in a peaceful glow, something that was increasingly rare. Silver had a smile upon his face as he gazed out from their temporary home, the city did not look dangerous or inhabited by the creatures of fire with the gentle light shining down upon it and it seemed even Iblis was keeping quiet with the peacefulness that encroached the area.


Blaze was closed off as she leaned back arms crossed, she could not relax, her whole body was tense and fur on end as she kept a watchful gaze around. Her tail moved left and right in her annoyance as she wished for the 100th time that the tension she was feeling would go away, it would soon make Silver nervious if she did not calm down.


The a bright white light suddenly flared up in front of them both, blinding Blaze although she put a hand up to protect her eyes, whilst Silver used his telekinesis abilities to protect his eyesight from the bright glow. Squinting, as it was still hard to see, he began to see a form fade into existence, straining he tried to see more and caught the sight of something very familiar.


“SILVER!” Blaze cursed as she felt Silver run into the bright light without thinking of his actions, grumbling under her breath she then had to shut her eyes as they began to water, when the light extinguished small particles of light floating to the ground before they dissipated. Blinking her hand slowly lowering, she tried to see into the darkness but couldn’t being temporary blind.


“Silver?” She began to see shapes but nothing definite; putting a hand behind her she steadied herself with something solid.


“Blaze you got to help!” Her brown furrowed as colours began to reassert themselves, Silver’s colour foremost.


“What?” She began to walk foreword to where she could not see him, Silver was bent over a crumpled figure though who she had no idea. Silver then looked over at her in a panic.


“I can’t wake him Blaze!!” He sounded terrified but she could not see why.


“What? Who?” Silver looked at her in disbelief before turning back to the other and attempting to leaver the other up so he could at least pull the figure over to the old couch that sat in the corner mostly untouched. Though Silver’s next words made her own widen in surprise and horror.


“Blaze it’s him, it’s the Guardian.”


-


“You know, he looks up to you.” The Blue eyes of the Guardian, woken from the unconscious state he had been in, rested upon the one who was lying on his lap then they turned to regard the gold eyes of Blaze who was glaring at him.


“I know…” His voice was saddened as he brushed his hand through Silver’s quills, a frown upon his features as he studied the young one.


“Every time you go off on one of your hunts it breaks him more.” He shook his head as he looked back at the cat anthro.


“I have my reasons…” She actually snarled at him cutting off his words effectively.


“Hasn’t he lost enough?! He needs you!” His eyes glowed as his power sparked around him for a second as the words hit him inside.


“Don’t you think I know that?” Her face darkened and she growled clearly showing her displeasure and somehow not waking up the sleeping Hedgehog on the Guardians lap.


“You’re not their when he cries out in terror as the creatures come, never their worrying if he will survive another encounter with Iblis… You’re never there.” He was silent as he took in the little one who shifted to get more comfortable an ear flicking in his sleep.


“And every time you come back you’re covered in wounds, slowly bleeding to death. Is that what you want him to see, to watch you slowly die and give him even more nightmares?!” He winced as he tried to combat her words.


“I do not have to…” She slashed a hand downwards; sparks leaping from her skin so great was her emotions at that moment in time.


“Years ago you saved me from the palace grounds when everything was falling apart around me, burning, you came and saved me.” His eyes were focused on Blaze as she narrowed her eyes fully, the pupils a full slit in her anger.


“You charged me with the care and protection of one of Chaos’s last naturally born children and I won’t allow anything to destroy what little we have left. Understand?!” The guardian felt his ears lower as he looked away, disgust running through him as she finally got him to see how much he had neglected the two that he should have taken care of.


But as always his own obligations had taken priority and left the two of them behind. He realised she had been right all along and felt himself slump as he admitted it.


“Yes…” She sighed and slumped back against the wall, her eyes resting upon Silver. Then curiosity raised its head.


“Why were you out there anyhow?” Blue eyes seemed to give a smile as he lifted a hand and a glow encased his palm, the same Techniques he had taught Silver when he had spent more time around the Hedgehog.


“Ok where did that satchel come from? I did not see you carry anything accept that pouch around your waist.” He just gave a mysterious smile as he stopped the bag in front of him, flipping his hand once he forced the top open. Then clicking his fingers 6 glowing objects floated out of the bag slowly rotating in a circle. Blazes eyes were open in shock as she stared at something she thought had been destroyed.


“My god… How in all the seven hells did you find 6 of the 7 Chaos Emeralds? I thought they were all destroyed along side the Master Emerald.” He shook his head a hand still petting Silver who was giving a rumbling purr in contentment.


“No the Chaos Emeralds only warped to hidden locations across the planet, I had a hard time finding them and recently the patrols of the Overlanders have stepped up considerably.” Blaze snarled as he heard the name of their greatest adversaries.


“Damn them! Can’t ever leave alone what is none of their business. Have to try to destroy or control everything that they come across!!” He sighed and titled his head back a pondering expression upon his face.


“Did I ever tell you how everything originated? Why the Overlanders are thee way they are or why mobians are so close in genetics to humanians?” She blinked shaking her head and at the same time as Silver opened his eyes with a yawn curiosity in his own depths, though he did not move from his lap as those bright golden eyes began to water as his muzzle trembled.


Then Silver rolled and hid his face in the Guardians stomach slightly shaking. Eyes saddened he rubbed a hand up and down Silvers back trying to calm him down, but as it did not work he then began to croon to the distressed hedgehog.


-Don’t… Don’t ever do that again, please. I don’t like it when you come back that badly damaged.- He breathed out a long breath as he bent down and nuzzled under the others ear, sending reassurance down the parent/mentor bond, reassuring the other.


-I’ll make sure not to, now do you want to have a history lesson? Are you up to it?- Silver pulled back and got up, trying discreetly to clean his face off as he stretched at the same time. Then turning around he sat down with a THUNK onto the flooring, then he titled his head to the side as perplexed look upon his face.


“Why are you in your full Anthro form anyhow? I thought you liked your Halfling form?” The guardian’s shoulders drooped as he looked away.


“Not enough energy, anyhow do you want to hear this or not?” Blazes eyes narrowed as they scrutinized the visibly tired figure. Glowing Blue eyes were dull the usual glint in them visibly decreased. His normally vibrant red fur was matted and dirt stricken, wounds could be seen throughout as blood slowly oozed from various places, though the most worrying was the one on his leg that looked like it had been only partially healed and left open to be infected.


He was weak, badly weak and he still tired to be strong. She then made a decision ‘I’ll make sure that you tell me what you have been up to, no-one goes without medical attention and expects me to just shrug it off. You wait; I’m going to make sure you understand!’


“Cool were you going to start? At the creation of the Emeralds? The Overlanders origins? What what?” The Guardian chuckled as he sat back, trying to hiding a wince that Blaze caught with a narrowed gaze.


“I’ll start where it all began, do you know that I actually had a given name once? My identity before I became what I am now? No? Yes I did, I was a human called Christopher Thorndyke, Chris for short and I suppose it all began the day my best friend left for his own world. An action that would change the world as we know it...”
