Meme part 2? For
zuki_chan Ten minutes after she had stepped onto that boat, into the middle of that sparkling lake, far away from any people who might bother (or help) her, Blaze noticed them. She was disbelieving at first; despite growing up in a society where spirits were worshipped and central to life, she had never actually seen anything of the like. Now, she could feel her mouth hanging slightly agape while she slowly numbed with panic.
A man with surprising resemblance to Eggman and E. Nega and a young, peach-colored echidna girl were also there on this lake cruise.
The pair was translucent and floating a foot in the air.
It took a while for Blaze to calm down and stop trying to burn the pair of souls who were soon revealed to be - somewhat obviously- already dead. After the fact, they calmly introduced themselves.
“I am - er… was, Gerald Robotnik, a leading scientist of my time.” The old man nodded to Blaze, and she blinked dazedly.
“And I,” the orange-pink echidna girl step-floated forward. “I was and am Tikal, peaceful daughter of heaven, grandmother to the Guardian Knuckles.”
“Ah. I see. I’m Blaze. The cat.” Blaze refrained from starting to explain just what a cat was, in case these people had been dead so long…
“So.” She vainly attempted to distract herself, shifted her weight from foot to foot. She felt suddenly uncomfortable with the lake breezes catching under her cape. “So… If you both are… well, dead… Then why are you here?”
“Ah…” Gerald turned to Tikal and winked knowingly. “You see, Blaze the Cat, we have watched you carefully since you have decided to take part of our successors’ fates. And we have come to the conclusion that you might be putting yourself in great danger, and hence, our loved ones…”
Blaze raised her eyebrow a bit. “Whatever in the world do you mean by…?”
“We do not have much time here.” Tikal interjected, gently caressing Blaze’s face. If felt like a whisper had tickled her fur. “You must do what you know is right. Despite any sacrifice you might have to make… you will know… what is… right…”
With those last words, the two faded. Blaze turned and looked at the parasols and sunshine and waves… and suddenly knew that it was time to stop running.
Don't know what the hell all of that is supposed to mean... I REALLY wanted to hint some SNG stuff, but heck. Spoilerific, and that's something I just don't want to do for this meme.
...AND CHASEY GO BEDDY-BYE NOW. *falls*
