Chapter 17: right or wrong

" how. . . How could you not know who he is? He's -" " sir Blaze that is quite enough."
Shadow says boldly but had gazed at her with gentleness in his eyes. He then turns to Amy who was both confused and shocked at the same time. " Rose how did you know where to find me?, and why?" He asked, Amy looked to the side her ears pointed down as if she was guilty for something,

" well, it's hard to explain but, it was as if I was being called by someone for help. Like a spiritual pull was guiding me to the dungeon, I didn't know why or who, " she explains unsure of her answer and embarrassed to face him. Shadow listened for a moment before nodding. " still you are in need of recovery you shouldn't be walking right now after all, maiden Lindy take the queen to our bed chamber," he orders as a chipmunk walks over to Amy and guides Amy back to the room leaving Blaze and Shadow alone . " you're Majesty, why didn't you let me tell her the truth?" She asked as she crossed her arms "if we tell her she will be heartbroken, I spent the last nine months using the forbidden magic to erase her memories of him, to ease her pain and guilt," he says while fixing his scarf around his neck,
" your majesty she will someday must know the truth, and when that day comes the pain will be even greater than you know." Blaze replied dusting off the rubble and dust from her armor. Shadow looked down his mind in thought knowing Blaze was right but didn't want to admit it " only time will tell. But for now it's better for her to return to the monk, " he replied before walking on the opposite direction from Amy's location. " sees that Rose is in her bed chambers health." He ordered his voice sounding faint, Blaze bows and walks of in the long quiet hallway.

Shadow walked in the long dark hallway the sounds of his footsteps panting the scarlet red carpeting was the only noise that can be heard from him. " I do what is right. And yet this I still feel this heavy guilt, that thing, my son, my wife. How can I possibly be wrong here?" He thought he then slams his hand against the stone wall in frustration. "Damn you father, for leaving me with nothing but this curse" he cursed, " how long will hide from me viper?" He say out loud, the old turtle would walk infant of him slowly appearing, " it looked as if you needed some space my lord, congratulations on your second son," he say while bowing
" but I see you wish to keep his future hidden with all eyes including your own yes?" He asked " it's better this way, I rather gamble with the losses than to seek his future filled with hatred, and darkness, " Shadow replied his head hanged in defeat, " it seems you my lord are giving up. To a battle that has yet not to come yet," viper claims.

he walks closer to Shadow and played his hand on his shoulder, " I have come here to tell you what is to come, there is a war, much bigger than the one you had to face, and you my king will fall, but you have a choice to fight with your people, or run with your lover and child, " he says Shadow then looks up at him surprised, " I will loose?" He asked viper desperate to for his answer, but he didn't answer instead, he hugs him tightly, as Shadow stood in shock, " my lord, you are strong, and is gifted of a power from the Gods they gave blessed you with. You will soon rise. Like the Phoenix you are and guide your people to success, just like you always do." He tells him, his voice sounding gentle, Shadow hugged viper back tightly.

The next day shadow sat in the table with the other kings and lead were if they're country and lands. " a war?! But your majesty the war between your and the northern kingdom is over. What can this war be about this time?" The rabbit asked. Shadow exhaled heavily,
" I was told by the mighty monk. That we must be prepared for a war. A nightly war much bigger than ours with the northern kingdom. To the point where we might loose everything we have." He says to boldly " and do you think that Is wise, Shadow sweetheart I trust you with this, but it sounds insane, we Don't even know who the enemy is or when their first attack will strike, let alone know where they are." Rouge say as. She looks confused with the idea " I have my stealthy knights going out to investigate over seas to Normflieus to take a look at the idea, once I get work that what the old monk says is true we ready ourselves" he explained.
