Silver the Hedgehog watched as the flames of Iblis disappeared into the anjos da noite where they belonged. "Good Riddance, Iblis scum." He whispered darkly under his breath. He was happy that Princess Elise was saved and that the others were okay, but at what it cost..... Blaze's life. Silver cared for Blaze unlike any other. He actually was falling in amor with her the mais time he spent with her. She called him naive, which Silver took as a compliment. Like in France, that was his Paris of Passion. He was called the savior of the world, and life as we know it. Silver shook the thoughts out of his head and descended down to the Kingdom of Soleanna.

"Whew! We're glad your seguro buddy!" Said Sonic with his trademark smile.

"Yeah! We thought you were done for!" Replied Tails with a wag of his index finger.

"Humph.... You were good out there Silver. Just please use Chaos Control in the most effective way possible. Not during battles is it supposed to be used." Said Shadow, showing a hint of impressment in his tone.

"Silv! You were excellent! I thought you'd become hedgehog sunny-side up!" Said Amy cheerfully with a shake of her hips.

"Thanks for the applause guys, but I have to run." Said Silver a bit irritably. He pushed his way around the crowd of friends and took off to an old abandoned temple. He ventured inside, staring at the ancient wonders full of artifacts. "This place truly is spectacular..." Said Silver. A faded purple mural was place in the center of the Temple, with two matching flaming tiki masks on both sides of it. Silver closed his eyes and prayed," Oblivik, Guardian of the Seven Suns, please, with your divine power, grant me the ability to bring Blaze back to life." That's when Silver fell into a deep sleep.

Kill.

You know you want to do it.

You're always treated like a worm. And Sonic's the bird. He eats away your pride.

Come on.

Heed the call, of Mephiles the Dark....

"Huh?" Silver woke up, shaking his head. "What kind of dream was that? I feel light headed.... Was that Mephiles? I could've swore Shadow killed him and his copies. Or did he not..." Silver closed his eyes and tried to let his brain process all of this information. comida for thought. The Guardian only gave you thoughts about your prayers, not anything but. Silver knew who to consult for such things. Elise. She was not a psychic or a mind-reader, she just knew what to do. Well most of the time... Sometimes she did very brash acts, but still, she mais than made up for it.

On the way back, Silver ran into Rouge. "Hi Silver," she said in her sexually active tone." No time for a little game of flight?" Silver sighed. He wasn't in the mood for Rouge's mind games right now. "Another time. Now mover it." He grunted, pushing the bat lady out of the way. Rouge raised one eye. He never usually acted like this. Bit she brushed it off and looked for another person to have some fun with.

Elise was sitting in her father's royal throne, closing her eyes as if she were meditating. "Princess Elise, can I speak with you?" Silver said with a bow. Elise opened her green orbs and smiled. "Yes Silver, may I be of assistance?" Silver and Elise then spoke of the troublesome dream. She listened attentively, forming a picture in her mind. "Hmmm...." She said, placing a delicate finger to her head. " Mephiles is definitely dead, but his invincible soul might be swimming in the darkest depths of your mind. I wonder if he is trying to communicate to you and you alone. Silver, I advise you be careful. Make sure you get a large amount of sleep and do not go to that forsaken temple again." Elise sounded very stern. Silver nodded and crossed his heart. "I promise."

When Silver went to sleep that night, he closed his eyes and prayed, "Please no bad dreams......" It was quiet and barren in Silver's mind. Then a voice was heard:

Help.

Silver.

Mephiles, death....

Use Telekinesis.

Protect Soleanna from the evil darkness.

Silver woke up. He knew what he had to do. He had to go back to Iblis' birthplace.
