Angel Island: Reflections

[Ark-E (ArksisEternal)]

((I'm starting off with Aran-Sa; anyone else come on in!))

Angel Island, a mysterious island of an ancient past that is old as the Chaos Emeralds themselves. This island was home to the Knuckles Tribe, a tribe known for it's ancient traditions..however..there is a single echidna that is of not this island..

Steps against the grass were heard as leaves rustle..


"Wow..this place is much..brighter and vivid..than what it was back at home.. I wonder what is the name of this place? It's all tropical and hot," she mumbled to herself quietly.

She started fanning herself as she stopped under the shade of the nearest palmtree as she looked around the jungle. The island she is on was blessed by such beauty and scenery that it makes her wish that her home was just as beautiful. Lowering her arm, she looked down and closed her eyes to remember how her home was. It was a very dark and modernized place runned by technology; in fact, it had mostly lava rivers and rarely any beauty, even the skies were dark. There was no light, instead it was only nothing but pure darkness of the night.

Before long, she opened her eyes and looked up to the scenery again. It was still as peaceful and beautiful as before; it had a pleasant aria. The skies, cleared and full of sunshine, the sight of ruins in the distance, the tropical jungle consisting of beautiful flora and fauna..never that she has been in such a place..

It makes her wonder if one time, her home was just as beautiful before the technology turned it into something else..

The young echidna has been living on this island for 2 years, but during that time, it would seem that someone has been watching out for her. After all, how else the young echidna explain that she found necessaries for survival nearby her place in the ruins? One would find it questionable and that even includes her as well.

Maybe someone else is here?

((Okay, okay, just got home... Here's my post. We can post from first person POV, right?))

"Chaos Control!" I fell to the ground, landing just slightly off balance. I had finally made it! At least, I think this is the right time. I hope it is.

I took a look at my surroundings, they were beautiful. I seemed to be in some kind of forest, in a clearing. There was a nice spring with a small waterfall rushing into it. The sound was very relaxing. The one I was looking for didn't seem to be here, but I won't stop until I find the blue hedgehog. I closed my eyes and saw again the image that had appeared in the emerald. It was burned into my memory, I know that once I see the hedgehog, I will know that he is the one I am looking for. There can be no mistake, I am determined to find the Iblis Trigger.

But first things first. I need to figure out where I am, and if this is the right time. I should be about 200 years in my past. I need to find someone and ask which year it is. I started walking though the forest. I should run into somebody at some point, right?

((I don't mind. First or third person is welcomed with me. XP))


Upon hearing a shout of someone from nearby, the girl echidna perked up and looked around for a place to hide in the flora and fauna before she ran off. The only thing that whoever it was that would hint of her presence was the footsteps and the rustling of leaves when she traveled in the forest.. (well, more like jungle, but meh..)

Keeping to herself, a horrifying thought came across her mind...
What if it's one of the Dark Legion members that was sent to find her and drag her back so they could toss her in imprisonment?

As she was fleeing, she continuously looked forward and back to check her distance until her boot snagged underneath a looped trunk.

"Woahhh!!" she exclaimed as she fell down. Soon, she had hit the ground, but soon to get up, she looked back again. As it would seem, she had got her foot stuck and was unable to run any further.

..Great..

[biagotmilkandjelly]

I stopped in my tracks. There were light footsteps, barely audible, coming from somewhere in the jungle. I turned to them, my ears twitching, not sure if I really heard them or not. I was about to brush them off as just a wild animal, but just as I was about to continue walking, a yell came from that direction.

Startled, I turn and began running in the direction of the yell. It sounded like the person had hurt him or herself. The only thought on my mind was making sure they were okay.

It didn't take long before I found someone. There was a young, female Echidna trying to tug her foot out from under a root, where it was stuck. She had some dirt on her front, like she had just hit the ground. "Are you okay? Do you need any help with that?"

[Ark-E (ArksisEternal)]

Seeing the albino hedgehog in front of her, she became nervous as she struggled to get her foot free. She was easily scared as to say and she never seemed to trust strangers..especially this guy..

But..what if he approached her..?

[biagotmilkandjelly]

I didn't get why she didn't answer me. She looked afraid. Had I scared her? My forehead wrinkled a bit from confusion. Maybe she was just freaked out because her foot was stuck.

"Here, let me give you a hand." I smiled in a way that I hoped was comforting, and my hand glowed as I used my psychokinetic powers to loosen the root that was caught on her boot. Now she should be able to get her foot unstuck. "Is that better?" I asked her, not coming too close in case I frightened her more. She seemed like she knew her way around. Maybe she knows what this place is? Maybe she could help me find the Iblis Trigger. In any case, she should at least know what year it is.

[Ark-E (ArksisEternal)]

The girl looked down to her boot then to the albino and back to her boot. Did the albino just helped her out? Able to move around again, she was still on the ground before she went to a sitting position. She looked up to his eyes for a moment to study him.

His thought patterns weren't exactly hostile as she brashly prejudged. They were rather filled with determination and kindness; before long, her scared look soon converted to a small gentle smile.

At this. she dusted herself off somewhat before she looked over to the albino again. However, she was wondering about something this time..

[biagotmilkandjelly]

The girl sill seemed a bit scared, but it was mixed with confusion. She seemed to think things over a bit before smiling. She looked back to me, appearing curious.

Taking this as my cue, i took a step towards the girl. I stretched my arm out towards her so she could use my hand to pull herself up from the ground. "Hi, my name is Silver, what's yours?"

[Ark-E (ArksisEternal)]

When Silver offered to help her up, she took his hand, however..when she did, boy, was she in shock. She felt something immense and very familiar coming from him.. Looking up to him, attempting to hide her recent discovery, she said softly,"Aran-Sa..and..it's nice to meet you Silver,"

Aran-Sa wasn't exactly a loud talker, she mostly was very calm and yet somewhat shy. Before long, she said,"...I'm not even sure about this place as well as the year.." She lowered her head as she continue,"..I'm sorry,"

After a bit, she looked up to him and asked,"..but..a blue hedgehog..well..I'm not really sure if I had seen or met him..but..is it okay if I stay around with you?"

[biagotmilkandjelly]

When Aran-sa and I touched hands, I could swear that something felt familiar about her, but I just could not quite place it for the life of me. "It's nice to meet you too. By any chance do you know where we are? Or even what year this is?" she said she didn't and apologised.

"That's okay, no need to be sorry. Do you know anything about a blue hedgehog? I need to find him." again, she didn't know, but she asked if she could stay with me. I shrugged. "Sure, of course you can. I'd more than enjoy the company. Do you mind helping me figure out where we are?"

[Ark-E (ArksisEternal)]

Aran-Sa looked around the place and said,"..well, all I know.. is that we're around some ruins..but I have a feeling that we're not.. just the only ones around..,"

She goes onto explain to Silver about the situation with the ruins and how has been receiving strange gifts from someone. She really didn't know much about the inhabitants of the place too well..

Before long, she pulled herself back up on her two feet as she said,"..I'm sorry about earlier..I thought you were one of them.."

[biagotmilkandjelly]

The girl explained about her situation on the island. I listened patiently, hoping for something that could help me find out where we are. Maybe the mysterious people giving her food knew more... But then she mentioned that she thought I was one of 'them'. I drew my eyebrows together in confusion again. "I'm sorry, them? Who do you mean? The people leaving you gifts? Why would you be afraid of them?"

[Ark-E (ArksisEternal)]

"..no, not those people.." she said as she shook her head. "..it's different.."

As much she really don't want to talk about it, she had to explain her side of the story to Silver. However, she feared to explain it to him out here of places because they could be still trying to find her.

While still holding onto Silver's hand, she turned towards him, putting her free hand over his hand. She said,"..I can show you..but you have to be willing to allow me..,"

[biagotmilkandjelly]

My cheeks flushed a little when I realised that she was still holding my hand. She told me that it wasn't those people, and then glanced around worriedly before turning back to me and placing her other hand on top of mine.

"...I can show you...but you have to be willing to allow me..." She said.

"Uhhhh, yeah. Sure. What are you going to do?" I tried to act like holding her hand didn't bother me at all, but I am so awkward around girls. Even the other secret freedom fighters.

[Ark-E (ArksisEternal)]

She closed her eyes for a moment. "..just close your eyes..and trust me," she said as she sounded more determined. "..that is..if you want to know who.."

((It's not like she is going to kiss him anyways.. XD))

[biagotmilkandjelly]

"oh-okay, yeah." I closed my eyes like she said, and mentally cursed myself for being stupid. First of all I don't know her, and second of all, she's holding my hand to show me something! So why in the name of Chaos can't I stop blushing?! I bit my lip and just tried to ignore it. I don't even know why it bothered me, she's just a girl.

((OOC: yeah, I know, it's just that Silver+Girls=awkward...))

[Ark-E (ArksisEternal)]

((Aran-Sa's younger than Silver..and she's going to show Silver one of her memories, however Silver would need to psychically 'tune-in' with her so it would possible for her to share her memory to him. Yeah, it's her retrocognition kicking in.))


Her wristrings began to glow before the pinkish aura enveloped around her hands as she took the time to concentrate; her psychic pulses were attempting to connect with Silver's to create a mental link between her and the albino hedgehog. Hopefully, it wouldn't backfire..however, Aran-Sa still kept a clear sight on her memory. Perhaps, one of her darkest memories of her past..

As she concentrated, her physical self was enveloping the same pink-colored aura outside said occurrence to the point that even her gems on her boots were glowing.

[biagotmilkandjelly]

I was curious as to what was going on. I cracked my eyes open a bit and got a pretty big shock when I saw her hands glowing pink. Was she using... Psychokinesis? I thought I was the only person with that power... I could feel her energy trying to connect with mine, and so I quickly shut my eyes again, and I concentrated my own psychic powers to accept hers. I wasn't exactly sure what she was doing, I had never used my psychokinesis this way, nor had I seen it used this way before. I could feel the power connect, and I began glowing all over, not only in my hands. My entire self, from my boots to the tips of my quills, was washed in a blue light.where our hands met though, the pink and the blue mixed to form a light purple glow.

I vaguely wondered if someone would notice us glowing so brightly in the middle of the jungle before her memory hit me. Then everything else faded into the background as I watched what she had gone through...

[Ark-E (ArksisEternal)]

A psychic connection was formed and inside both of each other's minds, both parties would arrive in a vision of Aran-Sa's past as they are inside a Nocturne high-tech laboratory hallway.

"I don't know how long the vision will last, but we have to be quick," she said to Silver as she looked around. Before long, the duo would notice incoming Dark Legionnaires coming down the hallway, surely this could mean trouble right? Not really since knowing Aran-Sa, the Dark Legionnaires wouldn't be able to notice them anyways. They only kept walking in a straight line together, ignoring them as they were soon to make a right down the hallway to a certain room. Before long, they entered and shut the door behind them as Aran-Sa looked back to Silver.

After she explained to Silver, she had stopped talking only to listen for any activity. Much to where she remembered, she heard something of a discussion going on and before long, a voice from one of the rooms said,"Insolent child. You have no choice in this, either you choose to respect our wishes or your mother's fate is sealed!"

Aran-Sa remembered the voice all too well and at this, she became stern. That voice.. ever since she was a child, the tone of that voice brought back her past fear of the Dark Legion that had terrorized her parents, especially her mother..that is probably why she still remembered the day when her mother was threatened by one of the members.

"This way.." she said as she turned back to Silver before she lead the way to the room she remembered that she was held at.

[biagotmilkandjelly]

((Sorry for the long delay!))



I opened my eyes to find myself in a new place, standing next to Aran-Sa. She told me we needed to be quick, and I mentally slumped. Quick wasn't really my strong suit. But hopefully I can keep up. We hurried through a hallway without being seen. I wasn't sure if it was because we couldn't be seen, or if they just happened not to notice us.

Aran-Sa pulled me into a room and closed the door. She explained something to me, then suddenly stopped. Her ears perked up, and she listened to a conversation a little way away. Most of it couldn't be heard, but then a voice rose above the others, saying "Insolent child. you have no choice in this, either you choose to respect our wishes, or your mother's fate is sealed!"

Whoever owned that voice, I immediately disliked him. His tone was harsh, and had an edge to it that told me he was in charge, and he knew it. People like that always got me angry.

Aran-Sa's expression hardened, and she gestured for me to follow her down another corridor. I followed, not sure of what to expect, but hoping that whoever that voice had been talking to was okay.
