This is just a Sonic Fan Fic. I had no other place to put it, so... Here you go.

Please note: When it comes to stories, I have bad grammar and English. XP So please pardon that. Oh, and this chapter is poorly made, but the story gets better. it's hard to think of a beginning to a story. XP

Chapter 1: The Beginning
--------------------------------------
In the deepest part of the Bronze Forest, lived a young rabbit by the name of Sky. She was ten years old, and loved helping her family. But Sky had a major problem. She had to wear the same necklace all the time to keep her alive. If it ever brakes, she will die.

One day, while walking in the forest, she found a message carved into a tree. Confused, Sky went to read it. "Seeking for the brave-hearted... My revenge will come," she read out load. "What does THAT mean? Eh, it's probably nothing. Probably just some kids pulling a trick." So Sky picked some herbs and returned home. When she came home, her mother was not pleased.

"Sky, where in the world have you been," she started. "I asked to to find some herbs and return home, but that was two hours ago! You gave your father and I a scare!" "I'm sorry, mother," replied Sky. "It was so nice out, and I didn't want to waste it." She came inside the house and placed the berries she found on the table. "What's this, now?" asked her father. "Cranberries," answered Sky. "Do you expect me to butcher a cow and bring THAT?" "No," said her father. "I just expect a little more food..."

After dinner, Sky went back outside. "Sky!" called out a voice startling Sky. "Sky, over here!" It was a young echidna named Aaron. "Oh, hi, Aaron," called Sky. "I found something just down right creepy!" said Aaron. "What is it?" asked Sky. "Come see for yourself," said Aaron. Aaron led Sky to the same tree she saw while picking berries. "Cool, huh?" said Aaron. "Maybe there's some creep who wants to kill us and eat us!" "Ew," said Sky. "Why would anybody want to eat US? Aaron, sometimes I don't understand you." "It was only a guess," said Aaron. "I think it's just some creep trying to scare little kids," said Sky. "Come on, let's just forget about it." "I dunno," said Aaron. "It looks pretty real to me." Sky and Aaron went deeper into the woods. Sky was trying to enjoy the beautiful weather, but Aaron was ruining it by talking about the June bug he ate last week.

Trying to ignore the gross conversation, Sky looked ahead and saw something on the ground. "Hey, what's that?" she asked. "Beats me," answered Aaron. "Let's go see it." As they got closer, Sky saw that it was a scroll. "A scroll?" she asked. "Read it! Read it!" said Aaron excitingly. "OK," said Sky. Sky felt a shiver as she opened the scroll carefully...


Chapter 2: The Scroll
--------------------------------------
As Sky opened the old looking scroll carefully, she began to read it out loud.

"A promise was sealed in my heart," she read. "The promise broke as I came upon my own fury... This too, shall prevent me from my escape." "I say chop suey," Aaron interrupted. "This doesn't even make sense! Some creep who's trapped someplace writing about his dumb promise he broke. He deserves it!" "Wait," said Sky. "I'm not done yet." "It's just gonna be a waste of time," muttered Aaron. Sky continued to read.

"The one who controls the liquid of the seas is my only hope," she read. "The one who controls those liquids can set e free." "There," said Aaron disgustedly. "I knew it. It's just a waste of time. Here we find this old cool looking scroll, and all it says is nonsense! What a rip off!" "The one who controls the liquids of the seas," Sky repeated. "Isn't that water?" asked Aaron. "Yes," answered Sky.

"Well, come on!" said Aaron. You read your dumb scroll. Can we go now?" "You're the one who wanted me to read it," said Sky. "But... That tree... And this message... Do you think...?" "Whatever it is," began Aaron. "It's all fake. Somebody is trying to trick us. Well, they're not tricking ME! All they're doing is making a fool of themselves. Come on, it's getting dark."

As Aaron walked home, Sky watched and looked back at the scroll. "This is... Fascinating," thought Sky. "I wonder who can control water? Is he here? Can he show me? What's his legend? Who is he?" Sky's thoughts where interrupted by an impatience, "COME ON!!" "I'm coming, Aaron," said Sky rolling her eyes.

"Do you really believe that stuff?" asked Aaron. "Why not?" Replied Sky. "After all, all things are possible." "Maybe," mumbled Aaron. "Can I see that scroll?" "OK, but be very careful with it," said Sky as she handed the scroll to Aaron. "Kind of sloppy handwriting," said Aaron squinting his eyes. "In fact, I can't read it at all! How can you read this?"

"It's in Ruinese," said Sky. "What ese?" asked Aaron. "Ruinese," started Sky, "Is an ancient language spoken only in the Ruinula Kingdom. I've been studying it since I was seven" "You have?" asked Aaron. "Why didn't you tell me?" "I didn't think it would interest you," said Sky. "All you care about is that gross June bug you ate last week." "I do not!" snapped Aaron. "It sure seems like it," said Sky taking the scroll away. "Well, there's our houses. I'll see you tomorrow, Aaron." "Bye, Sky," called Aaron as he headed home. Desperate, Sky ran in her house to show her parents the scroll she and Aaron discovered.

Wow, that is ... amazing. Good work!

Thank you very much! ^.^ First comment, I see. :3 BTW, I love your avi.

Chapter 3: A Restless Night
--------------------------------------
"You and Aaron found this old thing in the woods?" asked Sky's mom after she explained the scroll. "Yes," started Sky. "Do you think it' true?" "I'm not sure," replied her mother. "Why would a scroll written in Ruinese be way over here? The Ruinula Kingdom is nearly on the other side of the world!" "Maybe there's somebody here from the Ruinula Kingdom," said Sky. "He could have been traveling, and this could be sort of like a journal or something."

"What's this, now?" asked Sky's father as he entered the room. "Sky and Aaron found an old scroll in the woods," said Sky's mother. "It's written in Ruinese. That language is only spoken in-" "Yes, I know, the Ruinula Kingdom," interrupted Sky's father. "But how did that get here?" "That's what I was wondering," said Sky's mom. "But I don't know anybody else around here who knows Ruinese besides Sky." "I'm telling you, this is all real," insisted Sky. "There's nobody here but me who can speak or write in Ruinese, so there's gotta be some sort of traveler here who lost it." Sky's parents thought for a moment.

"Sky," started her mother. "Go and get Aaron. We'll need to discuss this with everyone who's part of this." "Are you kidding," said Sky. "He doesn't know a thing about Ruinese. He didn't even know it existed until now, so he wouldn't be much of a help." "Now, Sky," started her Father. "Give him a chance." "Your father is right," said her mother. "Everybody can be helpful." "Oh, OK," said Sky doubtfully. She went out the door to get Aaron.

About five minutes later, Sky and Aaron came into the door. "I can't believe I'm here this late at night," grumbled Aaron. "I was just about to go to bed, too." "Oh, get over it," said Sky. "You won't be here that long." "Aaron," started Sky's father. "Do you happen to know anything about this scroll?" "Of course I don't," said Aaron rudely. "I was dragged out of bed to try and explain something I know nothing about." "Oh, come on," started Sky. "You have to know SOMETHING about it!" "Hmph," huffed Aaron. "All I know is that it's getting in the way of my sleep. Can I go now?" "Fine," said Sky. "But you're going to help me with this tomorrow, OK?" "WHAT?!" shouted Aaron. "I told you I know nothing about it! I have nothing to do with this!" "OK! OK! You don't need to yell," said Sky. "I'M NOT YELLING," shouted Aaron. "Uh, you kinda are," said Sky. "Now, you can go back home. I guess I can handle this myself." "Hmph," grumbled Aaron.


"What a hot-head," said Sky as Aaron left the door. "Sky," said her mother. "You must never mutter behind your friend's back." Sorry," said Sky. "It's getting late," said her father. "We should be getting ready for bed." "Yeah, you're right," said Sky. "I'll put the scroll somewhere safe. Maybe under the bed." When Sky and her parents all went to bed, it grew very quiet and still. Sky had almost fell asleep, until she saw a shadow move on the wall. What is that, she thought. She didn't think about it much. She saw it again, only this time, it moved quicker. She started hearing whispers and voices. "Mom? Dad?" said Sky quivering. The whispers got a little loader and got closer. Sky put the covers over her face. "Sky," said the voice. "Huh??" replied Sky, who was full of fear. More shadows moved on the walls and more whispers appeared. "Sky," the voice said again. "Who is that," asked Sky with a shaky voice. More and more whispers and shadows came creeping around Sky. Sky slowly removed the cover from her face, and she saw that she was face to face with a large snake. "Who...?" said Sky feeling more fear then ever. With a single strike from the snake, Sky had a white flash and was put to sleep.


That morning, she woke up feeling weird. "Whoa, what happened last night," she asked herself while rubbing her eye. "And why do I ache?" As Sky questioned herself, she looked under the bed to make sure the scroll was safe. "Hey," she said shocked. "It's gone!" Sky looked everywhere for the scroll, but it was hopeless. It was gone. "Wait," thought Sky. "That snake... Do you think... Do you think he took it?" Sky was shocked. She sat down a while, and finally went downstairs for breakfast.

epic. just plain epic.

Thanks, Mephie! ^.^

Chapter 4: Sky's New Power
--------------------------------------
When Sky came downstairs, she saw Aaron at the table. "Aaron?" asked Sky. "Yeah," said Aaron. "That's my name." "Why aren't you at home?" asked Sky. "Well," said Aaron. "Let's just say that I hate the food that's being served at my house. Cabbage rolls? Yuck!" "I like cabbage rolls," said Sky. "Say Aaron, you don't happen to know where the scroll is, do you?" "What scroll?" asked Aaron. "You know," replied Sky. "The one we found yesterday? I looked under the bed, and it was gone." "No clue," said Aaron with a mouthful of mashed potatoes. Sky sighed.

"Are you gong to eat, Sky?" asked Sky's mother. "No, thanks," said Sky. "I'm not hungry." "Breakfast is important," said her mother. "Well," said Sky. "Maybe just a glass of water." "That's all?" asked Aaron. "You could have more then THAT!" "You can have more then that," mocked Sky as she poured herself a glass of water. "Humph," muttered Aaron. "At least I'm not the one with the stupid necklace." "Aaron, that was uncalled for," snapped Sky. "That was uncalled for," mocked Aaron. "Aaron..." said Sky with an angry voice. "Sky," mocked Aaron. "Aaron, I mean it! Quit!" shouted Sky. "Careful, Sky. You might break your life necklace if you yell too loudly," teased Aaron. "Aughh!!!" shouted Sky and splashed the water on Aaron.

"AUUGHHHH!!! A SNAKE!! GET IT OFF ME, GET IF OFF ME," shouted Aaron flinging his arms everywhere. Sky laughed. "What snake? That's water!" "No," said Aaron. It's a liquid snake!!" "Oh for the love of Pete," said Sky rolling her eyes. "Wait... There really is a snake! Oh! Oh!" Thinking fast, Sky spun her arms around, and the snake bashed against the wall. She pointed toward the ceiling, and the snake flung up. Then she clapped her hands once, and the snake evaporated. "Sky," said Aaron. "THAT WAS COOL!!" "How did... Wha.... I just... That wasn't me," said Sky. "I saw you," said Aaron. "You flung him around like a jump rope!" "But how?" asked Sky. "I didn't even touch it!" "Sky," said Sky's father. "You're the one who controls the liquids of the seas. You're the one the scroll speaks about." "I can't be," said Sky. "I'm just a normal girl!" "Wanna bet?" said Aaron. "Aaron..." said Sky. "Go to the river, Sky," said her mother. "And see if you can do anything like that again. "OK," said Sky. So she went to the river.

She threw a couple rocks in the river, and sat down for a while. Finally, she pointed her finger, held pressure, and lifted up. Sure enough, water began to rise. "I guess I am the one," whispered Sky sadly. She went home and explained what happened.

"Why me?" asked Sky as she collapsed into tears. "I can't be the one! I just can't!!" Sky's parents hugged her in her stress. "It's hard for us too, honey," said her mother. "I don't understand," said Sky. "Who is it who wants to see me? Do I know him?" "I don't understand either," said her father. "But sometimes we just need to stand up to tough things in our lives, understand?" Sky nodded. "Well, better get going," said Aaron as if nothing special had happened. "Aaron, wait," said Sky. She held his hand and cried. "I... have something I need to tell you." "Yes?" said Aaron. "If it weren't for you, I would never be this way... You made my life happy, fun, and good... So thank you." There was a quiet pause. "AHH," yelled Aaron. "Leggo my hand!" "Sorry," said Sky rolling her eyes. "Oh, sorry," said Aaron, and hugged Sky. Sky smiled a small smile.

"I have to get going," said Aaron. "Bye, Sky." "Goodbye... Aaron," said Sky quietly, thinking this was the last time she was ever going to see her goofy friend. "I know what you're thinking, Sky," said her father. "You like Aaron." "I do not," said Sky. "Well, I like him, just not in that way. I'm worried that I'm going to be killed by this... This... Stranger." "Don't worry, Sky," said her mother. "You will be just fine." Sky nodded slightly. "You can go play with Aaron, if you want," said her mother. "OK," said Sky as she walked out the door to see Aaron.

new couple: mini-sky x aaron.

LOL. But her dad was just teasing.


Chapter 5: The Journey Begins
--------------------------------------
"Whoa, Sky, you look down," said Aaron as Sky came to the door. "That's easy for you to say," said Sky gloomily. "You're not the one with the water powers." "What's so bad about that?" asked Aaron. "You don't understand," said Sky. "I'm the one this stranger is looking for. I don't feel safe anymore." "Ouch," said Aaron apathetically. There was an awkward pause, and Aaron broke it saying, "Want to go down to the creek?" "No, thanks," said Sky. "I don't even want to think about water anymore." There was another awkward pause. "Baby raccoon," said Aaron trying to break the pause. "Aaron," said Sky annoyed. "Sorry," said Aaron. "Hey, where's that scroll thing anyway?"


"The scroll!" exclaimed Sky. "That's right! The other night, I kept it under my bed, and shadows and whispers where surrounding me! When I tried to get up to run, I saw a snake about to strike, and I fell asleep, and it wads gone the next morning! The snake must have taken it." "What did the snake look like?" asked Aaron. "I don't know," admitted Sky. "It was too dark. But it looked like it had shiny, silver scales, and glowing, red eyes." "Sounds cool," said Aaron. "Sounds terrible," said Sky. "And he had very large, sharp fangs." "So, what are you going to do?" asked Aaron. "I'm going to find him," said Sky courageously. "What," said Aaron shocked. "I have to," said Sky. "But why?" asked Aaron. "It's just a dumb scroll." "That scroll is my destiny," said Sky. "It's the only way I can find out what I'm here for. Besides, I'm not letting this stranger kill me. I'm going to find him, and find my destiny." "You're crazy," said Aaron. "Are you really going?" "It's the only thing I have left to do, Aaron," said Sky. "All my life, I've just been picking fruit, and walking in the same path. But I have to walk a different path in this world, and find out what I can do to help others in need." There was anther pause. "Baby raccoons," said Aaron. Sky rolled her eyes and sighed.

"I need to go tell my parents goodbye," said Sky. "You're not really going," said Aaron. "Are you?" "Goodbye, Aaron," said Sky and ran home. Sky's eyes began to water as she came to her yard. "Mom, dad," she said as she opened to door. "We know," said her father. "You're a brave girl," said her mother. "Huh?" asked Sky. "How do you know what I'm up to?" "Because Sky, we know you," said her father. "We know that you want to know the secret to all this. We know that you want to help others. We know that you want to set a new path to follow." "We're proud of you," said her mother. As Sky was standing face to face with her parents, she fell on her knees and began to cry. "Why me?? Why do I have to be the one? I'm only a child! I have no reason to be going through all of this!" Her parents began to cry, too. They hugged Sky. There, the family stood in gloom.

Finally, Sky stood up in courage. "I need to do this," she said. Her parents held their breath. Sky faced the open door. "This path is set," she said quietly. "I finally have proof that I can be helpful in this world." She said these words as she left to seek her destiny. Her parent's eyes watered as they watched her go out into the wilderness. Off to see the dark spirit who sent this ancient whisper.

awesome. epic you say, Sky? I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER!

Thanks! :3 Yup, and it's right here:


Chapter 6: The Serpent
--------------------------------------
When Sky went down the path, she stopped to get one last look at her home. She knew this was the last time she could get a look at the little house. Thoughts came into her mind about the times she spent there. Her eyes began to water as she continued to walk.

I'm not sure where I'm going, she thought. But there has to be a landmark somewhere. As she came to the river, she used her new water ability to get across without getting wet. It didn't work so well, for she knew very little on how to use this water ability. She at least made it across safely. She continued to walk, and eventually, took a rest. "This isn't right," she thought out loud. "Why would anyone like this do this to a young girl like me? Its disgusting! I need to leave my only home, and go somewhere I don't even know, and more then likely won't even like!"

Sky knew that complaining would only make things worse, so she went on. Sky was walking for four hours straight, and was hungry and tired. She wanted refuge, but there wasn't any for miles. When she sat down to rest, she heard a voice coming her way. "Maybe he can help," said Sky to herself as she followed the voice. When she got closer, she could understand what the voice was saying. When she heard that the voice was quite eerie, she ran behind a bush and hid. "I know you're back there," said the voice. "Who are you?" asked Sky. "Come," said the voice. "Show yourself." "No," said Sky. "I don't trust some creep I find in the middle of nowhere. You show your face, and I'll come out." "You're name is Sky, is that correct?" asked the voice. "How do you know my name?" asked Sky trembling. "We'll get to that later," said the voice. "Now come out of that bush." Unsure, Sky sheepishly came out of the bush. There was nobody there.

"Hello?" called Sky looking around. She walked further away from the bush. "Maybe its my mind," she told herself. "Maybe I need to rest more." She walked back toward the bush and saw a tail sticking out. "What's this," she muttered as she poked the tail. It swiped away. "Huh," she said with a shrug. When she looked up into the trees, she saw something move swiftly. Sky looked around more, and ran in the trees to hide from whatever may harm her. As she heard a snap, she looked up into the trees and saw a squirrel nibbling on an acorn. Relieved, Sky came back out, and for a split second, she saw the shimmering fangs of a snake striking from a tree. Before she knew it, Sky was asleep. While she was asleep, the snake slithered out of the tree, and unto Sky's body.

"I've found her," he said while circling around her. His red eyes widen as he circled around her again. "She doesn't have the jewel?!" he hissed. "She doesn't have the Sapphire of Power?!" The snake thought for a moment. "She shall slumber for five years!" he hissed as he put a mysterious venom into Sky. With an evil grin, he slithered away leaving Sky sleeping with no shelter.

AMAZING!!

Thankies! ^.^


Chapter 7: Sky's awakening
--------------------------------------
Years and seasons had passed as Sky laid on the ground. Winter turned to Spring, and the year went on. There was no habitation there to notice the poor rabbit laying there in her deep slumber. Finally, year five came around the corner.

Sky blinked her eyes and got up. She was weak, sore, and hungry. "Where am I?" she asked herself with her hand on her head. Then she noticed that her clothes where very tight. "Ow," she whined and fell back to the ground. She had forgotten everything. Clueless, she got back up, and searched for food. She found a berry patch, but she needed more then berries. She needed something better like the potato soup her mother would make. As she ate some berries, she had a flashback. She saw her parents hugging her one minute. The next minute, she saw herself crying and leaving the house. It all came back to her. She remembered the awful day she left to seek her destiny. "I have a veg memory about my home," she said to herself. She felt lonely and weary. Finally, she got up and continued down the path.

A few miles down the trail, she saw a river. It was very beautiful. Shimmers of sunlight reflected off the water like a sparkling diamond. She went to get a drink, and practice her water skills. While she was doing this, she notice a small tent down by the river. Is there somebody living here, she thought as she walked toward the tent. She heard a little girl singing something in the tent as she got closer. It sounded like the girl was alone. Sky peeked into the tent.

As soon as Sky peeked into the tent, the girl came out. "Oh," the girl said with a surprise. "Who might you be?" "My name is Sky," Sky replied. "Sky," echoed the girl, who happened to be a little kitten. "My name is Violet," said the kitten polity. She was a light purple kitten with a fancy headband, green dress with a sign of peace printed on it, a gold bracelet, and earrings. "Tell me," she started. "Why have you come here to Crystal River? And why are your clothes so small?" "I'm trying to find my destiny," said Sky. "I don't know where to start, but I need to find a dark spirit who searches for the one who controls the water." "The Silver Serpent?" asked Violet with a shock. "Why are you looking for him? He's a very wicked snake!" "He's searching for me," said Sky. "I need to find him and destroy him before he harms me and my family. I'm the one who controls water." Violet backed away. "So your the one," she said under her breath. Dumbfounded, Violet took Sky's hand.

"You better come with me," she said pulling Sky. "I'll take you to the Crystal Village- The only community by the Crystal River." "What about you tent?" asked Sky. "Forget that," said Violet still pulling Sky. "We need to help you recover!"

A few minutes later, Sky and Violet came to a small village full of tents. Up ahead where two boys- A chinchilla and another cat. "I told you," said the chinchilla to the cat. "Girls are interested in romance! It's gross!" "No," argued the cat. "They like loud things like music. That's why Violet is always writing music!" The two boys stopped their silly argument and looked at Sky and Violet. "Who's this?" asked the cat. "This is Sky the Rabbit," said Violet. "Sky, eh?" said the cat. "My name is Snow. Snow the Cat." He was a fluffy Persian with a large tail. "And I'm Zooky," said the chinchilla. "Snow and I are buds." "Say Sky," said Violet. "How old are you?" "I'm ten," said Sky. "Really?" asked Zooky. "You look a little old to be ten. Are you sure?" "I think so," said Sky. "Well, never mind that," said Violet. "Snow, you go and get some food for Sky. I bet she's hungry. And Zooky, you go tell the tailor to make some larger clothes for Sky. She needs 'em. And I'll bring her to my tent." "Yes ma'am," said Snow and Zooky at the same time, and did their tasks.

"You're probably very confused," said Violet thoughtfully. "I am," said Sky. "I'm hungry, too." "Don't worry," said Violet. "Snow will come by with food for you soon. And Zooky will be here with fresh clothes by hopefully, tomorrow." "Good," said Sky ans Violet led her to her tent. "You rest here," said Violet. "But I just woke up two hours ago," said Sky. "Rest anyway," said Violet. "Do you hurt?" "A little," said Sky. "Well, I'm sure you'll feel better soon," said Violet. "But for now, just stay around here 'till you're better, OK?" "OK," said Sky. Two minutes later, Snow came in with some food. "Here," he said as he handed it to Sky and dashed out the door. "Snow and Zooky are so busy," said Violet. "Everyday, they help around Crystal Village." "I used to be busy myself," said Sky missing her family. Soon, Zooky cam into the tent. "The tailor is working on the clothes right now," he announced. "Oh, that's good," said Violet smiling. "I've got to go now," said Violet. "But I'll be back at about 4:00, OK?" "Alright," said Sky. Violet waved goodbye as she left the tent. There Sky rested with lots of food, care, and new frineds.

wow... that's cool.

Thanks. ^.=.^

Chapter 8: The Village
--------------------------------------
Sky rested in the little tent for a few hours. Every now and then, Zooky or Snow would come in to check on her. Later, she felt better and came out of the tent. The village was very peaceful, and only had tents. There was a sower next to the tailor shop. She went into the tailor shop, and saw a dark green hedgehog making new clothes for the villagers. "Please come in," he said. Sky nodded and entered the tent. There was a sewing machine and basket full of supplies.

"See what you think of these," said the short hedgehog as he handed Sky some clothes. There was a black tee shirt, long purple skirt, and a long, dark blue jacket. "The dressing room is over there," said the Tailor as he pointed to a small room divider. Sky got into her new clothes and looked into a mirror. "The shirt is rather short," said Sky. "I ran out of black fabric," said the hedgehog and he worked on another shirt. "Thank you," said Sky as she left the tent.

When Sky came outside, two little hedgehogs ran by playing tag. "Tag!" One shouted out. Sky smiled as she saw more children playing in the great outdoors. She walked deeper into the village, and saw a family of foxes sitting at a table saying a prayer. They where about to have a delightful dinner. Sky's mouth watered when she smelled the fresh bread and honey. It was a poor village, but everyone was happy, healthy, and content. When she went to the other side of the village, she saw Violet picking flowers singing her song she sang earlier in her camping tent by Crystal River. It was mournful happy at the same time, as if she had lost someone.

When Sky got closer to Violet, she saw that she looked sad about something. "Hey," said Sky which made Violet jump. "Is there something wrong?" "Oh, yeah," replied Violet. "I just feel a little empty inside." "Why?" asked Sky. "I'm not exactly sure," admitted Violet picking more flowers, and looked at her tent. "Well, actually, yes," she said quietly. "My parents passed away a few weeks ago. That's why you met me by the river. I had to get away from home for a while, because my memories where killing me." "I understand," said Sky thinking of her own parents, who she missed ever since she left. Violet started to cry. "I miss my mom and dad," she said while tears went down her face. Sky gave her a hug. "It will be OK," said Sky. The two girls stood there in there hug for about two minutes.

"My dad used to tell me," started Sky, "That I never had to worry. Even when he and mom are gone, they're still with me." "How does that work?" asked Violet. "They still think about me and care for me," said Sky. They will never forget about me, and they still love me. You're parents will never stop loving you." "But they're dead," said Violet crying more. Sky's eyes watered and she bursted out crying. She thought about this little kitten and her lost parents. She must have loved them very much.

As Sky and Violet where having their moment of mourn, Zooky came along. "Whoa," he said looking at Sky and Violet. "I missed something here. What happened?" "Nothing," said Sky sniffling. "Just missing our parents," said Violet. "Oh," said Zooky with pity. "Well, the leader of Crystal Village wants to see you, Sky." "Me?" said Sky walking toward Zooky. Violet stayed on the ground in the flowers. Zooky ans Sky looked at her, and walked toward the leader's home. As Violet watched Sky and Zooky walk away, she went inside. She picked up a picture of herself and her parents and looked at it.

"Who's the leader of Crystal Village?" asked Sky as she and Zooky where walking into the village. "His name is Bob," said Zooky. "What?" said Sky. "Kidding," said Zooky. "His name is actually Denver. He's a very brave wolf." "Huh," said Sky. "Oh, we're here," said Zooky as they cam to a large, fancy tent. "Ladies first," he said letting Sky inside. "I'll let you talk to him, but Violet and I need to take out lessons." "At 6:00?" asked Sky. "We never went this morning," said Zooky. "Well, good luck!" As Zooky ran to get Violet for their lessons, Sky entered the large tent.

Chapter 9: Sky finds her destiny
--------------------------------------
As Sky entered the large tent, she saw many scrolls with writing on it. Some where pinned to the walls, and some where in jars. Sky picked up a old-looking stone shaped like a heart. It reminded her of a necklace she had back at home. She wished she could have worn it, but she had to keep her life necklace on at all times. "So, you're the one who controls the water," said a deep voice, causing Sky to jump and put the stone right back where she found it.

An old wolf came from behind a room divider. He had scruffy fur, and large teethe. Sky notice a tooth was missing, and he was wearing it as a necklace. She tried not to stare at the wolf as he came closer to her. "My name in Denver," he told Sky. "I didn't expect you to come here." "I wasn't expecting to be here, myself," admitted Sky. "But One of the citizens brought me here for refuge and rest." "Young one," said Denver, as if he was not listening to Sky's words. "What do people know you by?" "Sky," Sky answered. "So, why haven't you died?" asked Denver. "Huh?" asked Sky. "What are you talking abo- Oh, the snake... You saw me?" "No," said Denver. "I heard it from the reporter of Chrystal Village. The Silver Serpent has returned." "The what?" asked Sky. "The Silver Serpent," repeated Denver. "He striked you when he found out that you didn't have the Sapphire of Power." "What's the Sapphire of Power?" asked Sky. "It's the only jewel that can bring the Silver Serpent back his powers," said Denver. "But I'll tell you something: You actually DO have the Sapphire of Power." "I do?" asked Sky. "You must be mistaken. I couldn't have it."

"Do you ever wonder what keeps that life necklace of yours working?" asked Denver. "It has the Sapphire of Power hidden inside. It stores all life and power for you. It has been written in legends." "That can't be true," said Sky. "Why else would the Silver Serpent come for you, then?" asked Denver. "I don't know," said Sky. "Then there's some things you need to know," said Denver, and started explaining to Sky about her destiny. And that was the night Sky found out why she had this unique ability to control the waters. It was her destiny to use it wisely and kill the Silver Serpent, who manged to escape from the sealed prison he was trapped in for many years.

"Let me get this straight," started Sky. "You're saying that this wicked snake is running lose, and I have to... Kill him?" Denver frowned and nodded, and said, "He's also ruling the Ruinula Kingdom and putting them in misery. Slavery and bondage has been reported there." "The Ruinula Kingdom?" asked Sky with a shock. "I've been studying their language." "Sky, you must go to the Ruinula Kingdom and defeat the Silver Serpent," said Denver. "But first, practice your water ability. You'll need to know how to wield it properly in order to defeat you enemies. I'm afraid the Silver Serpent may be on his way here now. He has an idea where you might be, so he can have the Sapphire of Power." "So, where is the Ruinula Kingdom?" asked Sky. "The Ruinula Kingdom," started Denver. "Is located near the outskirts of the Golden Forest. Go there, and follow the paths. You should reach the Ruinula Kingdom by tomorrow if you go down the right path. Just follow the signs, and be very careful. These are dangerous times. I'm surprised little Violet came back alive." "I'll try my best," said Sky. "Good," said Denver. "Be sure to tell any friend you've met during your time here that your leaving." "I will," said Sky as she left the tent. Denver went back behind the room divider and wrote an entry about this moment he had with Sky, and that his hopes where being awakened.

When Sky left the tent, she saw Zooky and Violet finishing up their lessons. When Zooky got up, Sky asked him, "What did you learn about today?" "Nothing, really," said Zooky. "Just a warning that some evil snake guy is going around the area, and we need to be more careful. I don't think Violet here liked talking about it." Zooky was right. Violet stood there shuddering and looking worried. "Don't worry," said Sky putting her hand on Violet's shoulder. "Everything will be fine." "Hey, peeps!" called Snow as he ran toward Sky, Zooky, and Violet. "What's up?" asked Zooky. "I was about to ask the same question," said Snow. "Well," started Zooky. "Evidently there's an evil snake dude who-" "Zooky!" Interrupted Violet. "Please go talk about it somewhere else!" "Sheesh," said Zooky as he and Snow walked away. "Wait!" called Sky. Zooky and Snow turned around. "I came here to say goodbye," said Sky. "I'm leaving to the Ruinula Kingdom, so I had to say goodbye." "The Ruinula Kingdom?" Asked Zooky. "Isn't that the place where the evil sna- Oh, sorry, Violet." "It's fine," said Violet as she walked to her tent, looking nervous and looking all directions. "That's why I'm going," said Sky. "Are you crazy?" asked Zooky. "That place has been cursed! You can't just pack up your bags and sunglasses and go there for a hot vacation! It's the complete opposite of a resort!" "You don't understand," said Sky. "If you want to know, go ask Denver. Long story short, I have to go kill the Silver Serpent." "Hey, wait!" called Zooky as Sky ran toward the map posted in the middle of the village. "She's crazy," said Snow. "Now she piqued my curiosity," said Zooky. "Let's go ask Denver!" "You can if you want," said Snow. "He takes forever to tell storys. I'm gonna go catch butterflies." "Suit yourself," said Zooky walking toward Denver's home. "You're gonna fall asleep early tonight, Zook!" called Snow. "Whatever!" Zooky called back.

Meanwhile, Sky was reading the map. It read that the Golden Forest was two miles north of Chrystal Village. "That's my destination," Sky said to herself. She was about to take off, but she saw Violet watching her. Sky walked up to the girl. "I'll be fine, Violet," she said. "Just protect yourself here, OK?" Violet nodded. Sky gave Violet a gentle hug, and left to the Golden Forest to seek her destiny. She kept on getting thoughts about the Silver Serpent, but she got rid of the thoughts and carried on.

this fan fic is EPIC. when does team hyper come in?

Chapter 10: Lost and Found
--------------------------------------
Sky felt heartbroken about leaving the village. "Why did I have to do this," she thought. "Why am I the one who controls water? I'm too young!" There was a pause as Sky was heading to the Golden Forest. "I can do this," she said. "Mom and dad told me to be brave, and I can! I can be brave!" The walk was very long. Sky's feet began to hurt. She rest on a rock, and carried on. Finally, she noticed trees with golden leaves up ahead. "That's weird," she thought. "Normally the leaves would shimmer." Sky looked up and saw dark rain clouds. "Oh, that's why," she thought.

Sky went into the forest. Although it was dark, it was beautiful. Golden leaves where draping over the paths and birds sang in the branches. Sky never saw anything so beautiful in her life! Her mouth dropped and her eyes watered as she stood there, looking into the woods. "I can't let the Silver Serpent curse this forest," she said out loud. She heard thunder in the distance, and she knew she had to carry on.

She finally found the sign which pointed to the Ruinula Kingdom. She started to feel raindrops dribble on her. But it just made the forest even more beautiful. Water dripping off the tips of leaves, and unto the ground. It made a gentle dripping sound. Sky thought it was a good time to practice her water skills. She made a string of water around her body, and a small title wave on the ground. She smiled as she swished the water around. "Maybe being able to control water isn't so bad after all," she said. "Besides, how many creatures can even do this sort of thing?" She made small waterfalls, waves, streams, and strings. She even made a heart. She was getting very used to this. But Sky knew she had to practice using it to fight as well. So she took the raindrops, and made a big pressure of water. She practiced this for a little while. When she made another wave of pressure, she made the biggest mistake of her life. She knocked over one of the trees. The Silver Serpent must have seen the fallen down tree somehow, because it suddenly started pouring rain.

Sky ran. She could hardly breathe or see with all the water. She gasped for breath. While she was running, she heard somebody crying. She knew she had to stop and see who it was. She zig zagged around trees, trying to see who it was. Luckly enough, Sky found some abandoned goggles for water on the ground. It must have been left there by one of the children of Chrystal Village. Sky put the goggles on, and she could see a little better. She looked behind a tree, and saw a purple cat with long, blue hair in a green dress crying by a tree. "Hey!" Sky called out. The cat looked at her and ran. "Come back!" called Sky, running after the terrified cat. She saw the cat take a fall as she ran. Sky ran even faster, and saw that the cat had fainted. She looked like she was lost, and Sky knew what she had to do. She picked up the cat, and carried her out of the woods. She had to delay her trip to the Ruinula Kingdom and bring her to the Chrystal Village. So there Sky went, in the pouring rain, with this mysterious girl.

The sun rose when Sky returned to the village. Sky had placed the cat in her tent to rest. The cat blinked her eyes and sat up quickly. She woke up to Zooky, Snow, Sky, and the tailor staring at her. She took a breath, and widened her eyes. "Fantastic!" said the tailor. "I shall get some fresh clothes ready!" The short hedgehog left the tent, and Zooky and Snow followed, in case the tailor needed any help. Sky stayed in the tent to take care of the girl she found in the Golden Forest.

"It's okay," said Sky. "You're fine." "Where am I?" asked the cat. "You're in Chrystal Village," said Sky. The cat walked out of the tent and looked at the small village. "Who brought me here?" she asked. "I did," said Sky. "I saw you lost in the woods, and I knew I had to bring you to shelter. My name is Sky. Sky the Rabbit." The cat looked dumbfounded. "I have been lost for years," she said. She folded he hands, and smiled. "Thank you so much!" she said in the happiest voice Sky had heard this entire journey. "You have all my gratitude! Allow me to introduce myself!" "Please do so," said Sky. The cat smiled. "My name is Fern," she said. "Fern the Cat." "That's a pretty name," said Sky. "Thank you," said Fern. She walked around the village and hummed. "It's beautiful here by Chrystal River," said Fern. "The water shimmers like jewels in the sun." Sky thought about the Sapphire of Power as Fern said her words. "Why where you lost?" asked Sky. Fern's smile faded away. "I ran away from home," she said quietly. "My parents died, and I couldn't bare to take the memories. That was too much for me to handle, so I ran off." Sky felt sorry when she heard Fern's story. "I'll tell you full detail of the story later," said Fern.

During the moment, Zooky and Snow came down the walk. "The tailor is waiting for you, cat," said Snow. "Her name is Fern" said Sky. "Well, Fern," said Snow. "You better come with Zooky and I." Sky and Fern followed Zooky and Snow to the tailor shop. "Welcome! Welcome!" the tailor said to Fern. "We've got this lovely hat," he said putting a hat over Fern's face. "And this jacket! Oh! Do try these sparky peppermint gloves!" The tailor was putting all these things on Fern as he advertised them. Fern was not amused. The hat was way too big, and the jacket and gloves where NOT her style. She rolled her eyes as she tilted the hat up. "Will you buy?" asked the tailor. "No thank you," said Fern. "WHAT?!" the tailor asked in shock. He ran in little circles. "How can this be? I've never had a costumer turn their nose away from my work like that before!" Sky, Fern, Zooky, and Snow all watched the short, orange hedgehog run in little circles ranting and worrying. Zooky snickered. "Actually," said Zooky. "A lot of people turn their noses away from your work." "Do not!" argued the tailor. "Then why are the sales going slow?" asked Zooky crossing his arms. The tailor began to sweat like crazy. "I don't know!" he said. "Maybe people have enough clothes!" "Or maybe you're just out of fashion. Why else do you think I don't wear clothes?" "You don't need to!" exclaimed the tailor. "Only girls here need them! Guys are fine!" "No," said Zooky. "I don't have any, 'cause you don't make good enough threads." "I do too!" said the tailor. "Uh, huh," replied Zooky drooping closing his eyelids. The tailor stopped talking for about ten seconds, and ran to his little room with waterfalls of tears coming out.

"BWHAHAHA!" laughed Snow. "You got him good, Zook!" Zooky and Snow high fived each other. "Gee," said Fern, taking off the jacket, gloves, and hat. "Don't you think that was a little mean?" "Mean?" echoed Zooky. "Maybe, but it was priceless!" "We've got to tell Violet this!" said Snow. "Catch you later, Fern and Sky!" Fern and Sky shock their heads and grinned at the boys. "I think you're clothes are great," Sky called into the little room. Almost instantly, the tailor ran out of his room and went back to his sewing machine. Sky and Fern thought it was best to leave the tent. When they walked a few blocks away from the tent, they started laughing. "He's so short, but he's so cute!" said Fern. "And funny!" said Sky. "Well," said Fern. "Thank you so much, Sky! I had so much fun with you today!" "My pleasure," said Sky with a curtsy.

nice. i hope you can post some new chapters sometime soon.

Thanks. ^.^ Actually, I'm not too pleased with how that one turned out at the end... Stupid character limit rule.

Chapter 11: Meanwhile...
--------------------------------------
While things where going smoothly in Chrystal Village, things in the Ruinula Kingdom where tragic.

The Silver Serpent took rule over that kingdom, and cursed the land with his evil powers. The winds there are warm, making the climate muggy and hard to work in. The crops there wilt before being harvest, and the creatures who planted those crops are put into a prison and are abused. The children cannot move freely in the Ruinula Kingdom. They stay inside at all times. The Silver Serpent also cursed the place so the sun will never shine there. Moaning, weeping, and begging is the only thing that comes out of the citizens, but the Silver Serpent still continues to oppress them.

There was only one citizen who is free to roam about the Ruinula Kingdom. His name was Fang. He was half fox, and half dragon. He was also the Silver Serpent's assistant. He watched to make sure all the creatures where working. Although Fang could fly freely, he hated this job. He had to tell the creatures to continue working, or he would have to discipline them severely. Fang hated to harm anyone, but the way he had to harm these citizens was beyond what he could handle.

One day, the Silver Serpent called Fang. "Fang," he said with his eerie voice, "I need you to get me the key to the gate. It's located in a copper chess in the dungeon." "Why can't you get it?" asked Fang with anger in his voice. He hated the Silver Serpent. "I'm watching for the girl who controls the liquids of the seas. She has awaken from her slumber. I saw a tree get knocked down in the Golden Forest, and a quick water spout. I sent a storm there yesterday, but I'm going to see if she survived. It was enough rain to flood the forest within three minutes." "I don't understand why you want to kill her so much," said Fang. "Go! Get the key!" hissed the evil snake. "Yes, sir," said Fang, wanting to call him a terrible insult. Fang went into the dark dungeon, and opened up a copper chess. It was very dusty, and made him cough. Inside was a large key. He brought it to his master.

The serpent took the key from Fang's hands and started down the door. "You must take charge of the kingdom," he demanded. Fang nodded, wanting to hurt the snake, who held the key in his mouth. The Silver Serpent slithered down to the door. As he went passed the poor creatures who where working their tails off, they all ran from him, thinking he was going to hurt them for not working hard enough. "Back to work, fools!" he hissed. Everyone went back to work, as the Silver Serpent opened the large gate dividing the Ruinula Kingdom with the other nations. He locked the gate, and headed toward the Golden Forest. Fang watched him slither away. As soon as he was out of sight, Fang fell to his knees, and cried with frustration and sadness. Everybody looked at him. "He can't do this!" he shouted with tears running down his face. "All he ever does is make you all work! He never gives you breaks or benefits! And if you do one mistake, he does horrible things to you!" A nearby fox sniffled and shed a tear. "And the children are always trapped in the houses," she said sniffling again. A hedgehog dropped his garden shovel and stared at nothing in particular. The whole kingdom grew silent and still. A teenaged female hedgehog walked up to Fang and whispered, "We need you to help us." Fang looked up with tears in his eyes looking at this young hedgehog. "I will," he said quietly. "I will help you out of this misery." Everybody's faces lit up as Fang said his words. It was the only happy moment they have ever seen for years.

While the Ruinula Kingdom was having their moment, the Silver Serpent was in the Golden Forest, which has been flooded by his powers. He searched for Sky's body, and found nothing. Anger grew on his eyes. "So she has escaped," he said to himself. "Who knows where she might have gone now, but she will not escape my wrath!" He slithered away from the flooded forest, and started his search for Sky. While he was doing so, Fang was helping the creatures in the Ruinula Kingdom. Three of the creatures had their own goals to accomplish. Fang's was to get the Ruinula Kingdom happy and healthy again, Sky's was to kill the Silver Serpent, and the Silver Serpant's was to kill Sky.

Chapter 12: Fern's past
--------------------------------------
Back at Chrystal Village, everything was going as well as any village can be. There was plenty of food, shelter, animals living there, and everyone was happy. Zooky and Snow where busy as ever, and started getting paid small fees. They've never gotten paid for their jobs before! Violet calmed down, and played outside more. The tailor made more clothes and got more consumers, Denver got more news about the Silver Serpent, and Sky and Fern became very close friends. They went on picnics, picked flowers with Violet, and talked about each other.

"Race you to the river!" called Sky as she ran past Fern. "Hey!" said Fern with a laugh. She and Sky ran to the Chrystal River, and Fern won. "Wow," said Sky with a breathe. "You're fast!" "Thank you!" said Fern with a smile. Nearby, Zooky and Snow where stalking them. "I'm telling you," said Zooky. "They like girly stuff like makeup, perfume, and gross stuff!" "But they're just sitting at the river," said Snow. "Girls are probably more adventurous than you think, Zook." "They're just acting like it!" argued Zooky. "No," said Snow. "They're just having a fun time together!" "What are you two doing?" asked Violet. Zooky and Snow jumped up high and screamed like two girls with frogs in their hair. "What?" asked Violet. "Don't scare me like that!" said Zooky with fear and anger in his eyes. "At least tap my shoulder or something!" "Did you think I was the Silver Serpent?" asked Violet. "HUH?!" shouted Zooky. "I did not!!" "Then how come you where so scared?" asked Violet calmly. Zooky replied with, "I just... Just.... GAHHH!!!" Zooky ran away with waterfalls of tears in his eyes. "What's with HIM?" asked Violet. "Beats me," said Snow. "I better go talk with him..." "NO, I'M NOT AFRAID OF GIRLS!!" shouted Zooky as he ran back at light speed. "I'M JUST HAVING A STRESSFUL DAY, OK?!" "Zook, you where just fine a minute ago," said Snow. "I HAVE MOOD SWINGS, OKAY?! LEAVE ME ALONE!!" Zooky ran away again. Violet and Snow looked at each other and shrugged. They walked back to the tents. Sky and Fern sat for a while. "Hey," said Fern quietly. "I have a reason I brought you here..." "Why?" asked Sky. "Well," said Fern. "I need to tell you why I've been in stress most of my life..." Sky listened carefully.

"It's about my past," said Fern, drooping her eyelids. "One day, while hiking on the mountains, my parents and I where finding food. It was a Sunday afternoon. The land was beautiful, and we had wonderful family time. We noticed a dark cloud up ahead, and it was unusual. It was shaped like a creature, and it came closer to us. We noticed it had shinning fangs, sharp as swords, and glowing, red eyes. We where trapped in fear, and knew we where going to die." "What happened?" asked Sky. "They jumped off the mountain," said Fern. "My parents jumped off the mountain, and they died. I knew it couldn't happen! I tried fighting the figure, but instead, it whooped me off the mountain, and I fell as well. I grabbed unto a rock sticking out, and survived. Then I ran away, in sorrow." Sky noticed tears coming out of Fern's eyes. There was a silence. Fern started crying louder. She fell on her side and weeped.

"Fern!" said Sky. Fern just cried harder, and herder. "I hate him!! He caused my parents to die, and I hate him!!" "Who was he?" asked Sky. "He's known by many names," said Fern. "His eerie whispering voice gives the name, The Ancient Whisper. His shadowy spiral-like dark form gives him the name, The Dark Spirit. But with his beautiful, silver scales, he's most known as..." "...The Silver Serpent." said Sky with anger in her voice. She wanted to kill the Silver Serpent. Sky knew it was time to explain to Fern what she was up to. She had to go to the Ruinula Kingdom and kill the Silver Serpent. "So," said Fern. "You delayed your quest to save my life?" Sky nodded slowly. Fern's eyes widen, and got full of more tears. She hugged Sky. "Nobody has ever done anything like that for me before!" she said. Sky felt her eyes water. "You stopped your important quest to save my life! I... I can never thank you enough!" The two girls where both found in peace and joy.

"You know," said Fern. "That kitten with the headband... Violet... She looks so... Familiar." "How so?" asked Sky. "I uh, gotta go," said Fern as she ran back to the village. Sky watched her, and ran back as well. She saw Fern looking at Violet. "What can I do for you?" asked Violet. "Uh," started Fern. "May I come inside?" "Uh, sure," said Violet. "Thank you," said Fern as she went inside Violet's tent. She saw a small drawer, and she opened it. "Please don't look in my stuff," said Violet. Fern ignored her, and picked up a locket necklace. "Please be careful with that!" said Violet with a worried voice. Fern opened it. It was a picture of Violet and her parents. "Hmm," murmured Fern, as she took the picture out of the necklace. "Hey!" said Violet. "Put that back!" "Wait," said Fern. She saw another cat on at the edge of the picture. It had blue hair, and golden eyes. It was Fern. Violet looked at the picture, and back at Fern. "Fern?" she asked. "Is that you?" Fern nodded. "You're... Alive...? But... But I thought you died!" Fern said nothing, and hugged Violet. "It's OK," she said. "I'm here now." Violet looked at Fern, and pressed her head in Fern's arms. "I'll always protect you," said Fern, still hugging her long-lost sister. It all grew quiet, and they where dumbfounded.

Love the story it was so touching

Awww! *sniffle*. That's so nice. Really emotional.

Thanks, you two! ^.^

Chapter 13: The Tragic Night
--------------------------------------
Sky waited for Fern to come out of the tent. It had been a while, so Sky went in the tent herself. When she went in, she saw Violet clutching unto Fern's arm, and both of them where weeping. Fern was tightly holding unto her sister, and the locket necklace. Fern dropped the necklace to tighten her hug to Violet, and Sky picked up the necklace. When she saw the picture of the girls, she looked back at them. Sky's eyes got wide, and she cried as well. "I'm sorry!" said Fern. "I never came back for you when our parents died! I'm a horrible sister!" "No, you're not," said Violet, pressing her head in Fern's body. "I am. I'm the one who chose to run away." "but I ran away, too," said Fern. She closed her eyes tightly, and feel completely to the ground. "Fern!" said Violet, falling off the bed to hug her sister. "Please," she said, trying to pull Fern up. "You have to get up!" Violet gave up in two seconds, and fell over, crying. Sky felt a lump in her throat, and ran out of the tent, trying to keep tears from falling out of her eyes. She ran out of the village outskirts, and weeped. When she realized where she was, she knew it was time to leave for the Ruinula Kingdom again. "I never did say goodbye," she thought. "But I have to kill the Silver Serpent." Sky set her path once again, to the Ruinula Kingdom.

Back at Chrystal Village, Fern said, "Violet... Meet me at the center of the village tonight, when everybody is asleep. I have something for you." Violet was confused, but nodded. Finally, Fern left the tent, saying nothing. Violet just stayed inside, staring at nothing in particular. Fern stood there, looking at everybody laughing, working on gardens, visiting, and smiling. She was thinking about all the good and bad things in life. "Hey, Fern!" called Snow running toward Fern. "You wanna... Fern? You OK?" Fern just stood there, not looking at Snow, and ran. Zooky stood by Snow, and they shrugged. "Must be having a bad day," said Zooky. "Could be," said Snow. The two boys watched Fern run away, and went back to their kind deeds.

So Sky set her path to the Ruinula Kingdom. She was remembering all the times she had with Fern. Then she had memories when she played with Aaron back at her old home. As she walked down her path, the sun was starting to set down the path. She felt like her parents where right there with her while she was walking down the path. She even put her hand on her own shoulder, thinking her mother's hand was right there. Sky looked down, and slowly removed her hand. When the sun had set, and the moon was up, Sky realized that she never let go of the necklace she picked up. She knew she had to return it. It was the only reason Violet and Fern found out they where sisters. Sky knew what she had to do. She turned back, and ran the the Chrystal Village. She used her water skills to transport her there faster. By the time she got there, it was very late at night.

There, Fern stood in the middle of the village. "Fern?" asked Sky. "Why are you up so late?" "Sky!" said Fern. "Please... Go to bed! I... I just can't sleep!" "But Fern," said Sky. "It's dangerous to be out here at night." "Then go inside," said Fern. "Fern," said Sky. "Just go!" said Fern strictly. Sky didn't want to make Fern upset, so she went in her tent. Violet came around the corner. "Fern?" she said. "Why do you need me to be out here this late?" "I'll tell you," said Fern. She held Violet's hand, and walked down a trail. "I have a special treasure I need to give you," said Fern. "You do?" asked violet. "Yes," said Fern. She explained before she handed Violet the gift. While she was doing so, Sky was getting into her bed.

While Sky was getting into bed, she was woken up by a loud scream. "FERN, LOOK OUT!!" shout Violet. Sky jumped out, and saw Fern on the ground, and Violet biting her nails, with a worried face. "Fern!" said Sky, running to Fern. Fern had her eyes only half open, gasping for breath. "What happened?" asked Sky. "The Silver Serpent..." said Violet, not saying anything else. She was too frightened to move on. "He attacked, didn't he?" asked Sky. Violet nodded sheepishly. Sky noticed two fang marks on Fern's face. "Violet... Sky..." said Fern. "What is it?" asked Violet with a very worried voice. "You must never forget who you are... And always be yourselves. You don't want to end up like me. I... I changed my life... And I end... Ended up like this..." Violet's eyes got wide, and she held her own hand up to her mouth, and shattered her teeth. Sky held tears in her eyes. "But... There's still something I have in life," said Fern in a very weak voice. "It's the only thi... Thing I need... And it's... It's... You..." Fern said nothing else. "Fern?" said Violet. "Fern?! FERN!!" Violet fell unto Fern's body, and weeped in a mournful way. Sky cried, too. She hugged Violet, and they sat there next to Fern's body. One last tear form Fern fell out from when she cried for the last time in her life.

Sky stood up, and picked up Fern's body. She layed in in her tent bed, and cred over the body. Violet's cries where the most mournful thing Sky had heard in a long time. She felt bad to say it, but Sky said, "I need to go... If the Silver Serpent killed your sister, I need to kill him." Violet said nothing, and sang a song for Fern. It was about family and treasures. It made Sky cry, and she left the tent. When she left, she heard the slither of a snake go by. "Here I am!" she called, running out of the village. "Come get me! I'll accept your challenge!" The snake was stalking Sky fro the tree. It was the Silver Serpent. She looked at her, ans slithered away. Sky ran even more, with her heart pounding. She was devastated, sad, and very scared. She nearly fainted because of fear, but she kept running. The Silver Serpent knew for sure Sky was alive, and would not rest until he completed his task. The race between Sky and the Silver Serpent went on, and on. Finally, the sun rose, and the snake slithered away. All Sky's hopes where lost.

awww.... that's sad. but i can tell that there's gonna be epicness in the next few chapters!

Thanks! :3 Yeah, pretty much.

Chapter 14: Fang and Sky Meet
--------------------------------------
Sky traveled on. When she saw that the Golden Forest was flooded, she knew the Silver Serpent was on to her. Then she blamed herself for Fern's death. She thought that if she never over did her water skills, this would never happen. She used her powers to go over the flooded forest, and got across safely. The whole trip was lonely, mournful, and hard. Tears went down Sky's eyes, as she traveled. Finally, she saw a very tall temple up ahead. It had a dark, spinning cloud above it, and it looked like the sort of place the Silver Serpent would lurk in. Sky read a sign which read, "Ruinula Kingdom." Sky went through the large gate which led to the Ruinula Kingdom.

The rumors she heard about this place where true. The wells where dried up, the creatures there where abused, oppressed, and miserable, the crops where wilted, the sun didn't shine, and a warm breeze went by. Sky looked at the place in sadness. Her mouth hung open, and her eyes filled with tears. Everybody stopped working, and looked at Sky. Everything grew quiet. Finally, somebody said, "She's here! The one who controls water! She's here to kill the Dark Spirit! The Ancient Whisper's curse will be broken!" Nobody said anything. Everybody slowly walked toward Sky. The teenage hedgehog who had spoken to Fang before, walked closer to Sky. "If this isn't a trick," she said. "Help us." Sky's heart sunk. The young hedgehog looked at Sky with tears in her eyes. While Sky looked into her eyes, she sobbed. "I'll do anything for your kingdom!" she said. "I will kill the Silver Serpent!" Her voice got filled with anger. "He will not get away with what he's done to all of you! I will kill him!!" "Wait!" called a voice. Sky looked up, and it was Fang flying down.

"So you're that girl," said Fang in awe. "You're name is Sky, yes?" Sky nodded. Fang's face got dark. "Sky," he said. "About the Silver Serpent... Well, as you must know, he killed a citizen of Chrystal Village." Sky didn't reply. "Well," continued Fang. "Along the river, he saw two rabbits who looked like you... Sky blue, ears going out front, and red eyes... They where your parents." "Mom and dad?" asked Sky quietly. Fang frowned, and said, "Well... The Silver Serpent took his wrath on them..." Sky's eyes widen. "What?" she asked in a fearing voice. "I'm so sorry," he said looking at the ground. "But your parents are no longer with us." Sky gasped, and fell on her knees. "No!" she shouted. "He's gone too far! I will get him for this!!" Tears fell from Sky's eyes. Fang wiped away a tear. He took Sky's hand, and lifted her up. After a long pause, Sky said, "Bring me to the temple. Now." Fang nodded, and flew to the temple, with Sky. He set her in the balcony. She could see miles from the balcony.

When she looked down, she could see all the animals looking up at her. She looked at them in sorrow and pity. Fang flew away for a while. Sky just stood there, holding on to the bars of the rails on the balcony. Her eyelids dropped, and more tears fell out as memories went through her mind. She remembered her parents. Sky looked up. "Now I remember," she thought. More tears filled her eyes. "Today is my birthday. I'm sixteen now." "Sky!" said Fang as he came back. "What is it?" asked Sky. "The Silver Serpent is returning! He knows you're here!" Sky's sad face turned angry. "Let him come. I'll give him all I've got." "But Sky," said Fang. "You just stay out of any trouble, got it?" said Sky. Fang nodded, and was kind of embarrassed that he got yelled at by a girl younger than him. He swooped down, and warned the citizens that a fight would appear. So Sky waited for the Silver Serpent to come back to the Ruinula Kingdom. She wanted revenge for all the things he had down, and she swore that she wouldn't fail.

lol that's a REALLY nice birthday.

Sorry this took so long... But I FINALLY got this chapter written. X~X

Chapter 15: One Less Hero
--------------------------------------
Sky stood there in the balcony, with the warm wind blowing on her face. She felt a little calmer with the warm wind blowing about. She stopped crying so much, and thought for a moment. "I've made it this far," she thought. "My parents where right. I did make it fine by myself. I used to be afraid do go out to strange places... But now I've met more friends, and have this opportunity to save the world from the Dark Spirit; The Silver Serpent. I've made it this far... I can do this..." Sky actually smiled a little bit as her thoughts where going through her head. She trusted herself at last.

The moment was taken away when an eerie whisper called Sky's name. She turned around, and it was the Silver Serpent. "You dare try to defeat me?" said the Silver Serpent. "Nonsense. Nothing but nonsense. You're only fifteen years old, and you think you can take on me? The Dark Spirit of Ruinula Kingdom?" "I'm sixteen," said Sky with anger in her voice. "And you don't scare me." Although, she was afraid, she knew she couldn't give up. She knew that the Silver Serpent didn't believe her, and she sighed. "Tell me, Sky," said the Silver Serpent. "How did you manage to get this far? I thought I had killed you already, but that was just another ignorant citizen of Chrystal Village." "Her name was Fern!" Sky snapped. "And I made it this far through encouragement." The Silver Serpent slithered around Sky. At one split second, he leaped up, and striked Sky. Thinking quickly, Sky used her water powers to push off the Silver Serpent. "If it's a fight you want," started Sky. "It's a fight you get."

The Silver Serpent took another leap toward Sky. Sky manged to grab a hold of his jaw, and pulled. With an eerie shriek, the Silver Serpent snapped his mouth shut, and wrapped around Sky. He wrapped all along her body, and squeezed. "Le... Let go!" grunted Sky, as she tried to pull off the evil snake. He was too strong for her. Sky fell to the ground, and gave up. But then she noticed that the Silver Serpent's grip was easing out. Confused, Sky got up. But the Silver Serpent tricked her. He bit her legs, and poisoned them. Sky fell to the ground, and found out that her legs where lame. She couldn't move. She let out a cyclone of water, and it chased after the Silver Serpent. The Sky let out a tidal wave, allowing her to move by water. Water was splashing everywhere, then Sky felt a sudden sting in her neck. "Augh!" she cried as she fell off of her small tidal wave. She got weaker by the second. "You see," said the Silver Serpent. "You where not thinking when you came to destroy me. MY powers are far greater than yours. This poison will kill you." Sky's eyes widen. She knew she couldn't fail. She knew what had to be done.

The Silver Serpent crawled next to Sky, and stood by her. "Surrender!" he shouted. Sky shut her eyes tightly, and used her water force to break her life necklace. It left a sharp, broken piece next to her. The Silver Serpent laughed evilly. "You're given up? Ha! I knew you couldn't take me down! Now the Ruinula Kingdom will be mine forever!" Sky opened her eyes, and said, "You want the Sapphire of Power... You can have it!!" She picked up the broken piece of her metal life necklace, and stabbed it into the Silver Serpent. He shrieked in pain, and laid on the ground. Sky took it out, and stabbed again. The Silver Serpent shrieked again, and gasped for breath. Finally, with one last breath, the Silver Serpent died. Sky closed her eyes again, and didn't move.

"Sky!" shouted Fang as he flew into the window. He picked up Sky's body, ans Sky opened her eyes half way. "Fang..." she said. "Tell the citizens of Ruinula Kingdom... That they're safe..." Fang's eyes where full of tears, and he heard cheering outside. He took Sky to the balcony, and the curse of the Silver Serpent was broken. The warm breeze turned into a cool breeze, which felt great. The crops where healthy, the sun was shining, and the water spring was wet. Sky gave her last smile, and she died in Fang's arms. Fang looked down at Sky, and cried a little bit. "She saved us all," he told himself. "The curse of the Ancient Whisper has been broken... And the Dark Spirit is gone... Everything will be OK..." He flew down with Sky, and everyone grew silent. Fang explained what Sky did, and that she used her own life necklace to kill the Silver Serpent. He explained her courage, and her virtue. As Fang gave the speech, familiar faces came through the gate of the Ruinula Kingdom. They where Zooky, Snow, and Violet. The three children where speechless, and Violet's eyes watered. Then she pressed her face in Snow's body, and sobbed. Snow hugged her, and Zooky tried his best to comfort her.

While the emotion in the Ruinula Kingdom was happening, misty figures walked along the Chrystal River. A light lit up, and there where the spirits of Sky and her parents. They all walked into the light and disappeared.

"I have found peace at last... I'm here with my parents, and I love them dearly. I can finally see them again... I'm sure my friends will miss me, as will I miss them. But I'm much happier right here... In peace with the friends I love most... My guardians."
