THE NIGHTMARE
In no time at all a week passed. Sonic, Cyan, Uncle Chuck, and the rest of the research team continued to explore the far reaches of Ice Cap, often returning with somber news. As Blizzard had expected, they were constantly hearing tales of the fire beasts from the villagers, though so far they had seen nothing to prove that the monsters actually existed. Nor had they discovered any more clues that would lead them to the source of the Darkness. Thankfully, however, there had been no more news of disasters anywhere on Mobius. Reassuring as this was, Uncle Chuck insisted it was only a matter of time before there

"Aethon. Hey, Aethon, wake up."
"Wha--?" Aethon murmured groggily, lifting his head and blinking sleep out of his eyes.
Turq was nudging him with her elbow. "We're going to land soon. My dad says we should put on some warm clothes."
Aethon stretched leisurely and sat up. "Can we see anything yet?" he asked, leaning toward the window on his left.
"Mountains," Turq said. "Tons of them. They're beautiful!"
Every now and then, through the misty sea of clouds, Aethon could catch glimpses of great, vaulting peaks, draped in glistening snow. Here and there, between the mountains, he could also spy patches of rugged forest

FROST
DELETED SCENE: AN OLD FRIEND
"Come on, Amber!" Coby called as he hurried up a rugged hillside, toward the distant trees. "We don't want to be late!"
He paused and looked back over his shoulder. His young apprentice came running up to him, puffing heavily as she clambered up the slope. She kept fretting with a red necktie she was wearing.
"It keeps coming untied," she said.
"Here, like this," Coby said, stooping down and helping her to tie the tie into a perfect knot.
"How do I look?" Amber asked, looking up at him with her bright blue eyes. She stood up straight and held out her arms to show

Soon an hour crept by, and Coby, Aethon and Charon were still waiting to hear any news. They were relieved to see, however, that most of the citizens were starting to calm down, and that more and more of the sick were waking up. Cyan, Turq and Raena's powers must have helped them greatly.
Coby realized that he was starting to feel better too, now that he was out of the strange storm. But there was still no sign of Sonic, Shadow or Nihara, and he was beginning to worry. Surely it would be dangerous for them to be outside for so long?
"I hope Dad's OK," Aethon murmured, voicing his fears. "I know he's the 'Ultimate Life Form' and all,

DARKNESS
Coby stooped down and picked up a bag of grain, hoisting it up onto his shoulder. It was very heavy, but with some effort he managed to heft it away from the grain shed, over to a large wooden cart in the barnyard that was piled high with an assortment of sacks, boxes, crates, bags, churns and barrels. Carefully he deposited his load with the other items and paused a moment to wipe the sweat from his brow.
Almost done, he said to himself.
Two weeks had passed since the incident with Storm and the forbidden clearing. Coby was out at the farm, along with Keesho, Turq and Aethon, helping the farmer with hi

: CHAPTER THREE : THE FORBIDDEN CLEARING
Coby yawned with boredom as he stared down at the pages of his thick history book. His mind wasn't on his schoolwork today. Glancing up, he could see bright sunshine streaming through the beautiful stained-glass windows of the Royal Library, casting sparkles of red, blue and gold onto the walls and the floor. It was a beautiful day, and he longed to be outside, to run through the clear autumn air. Now, on top of mentoring Amber and all his regular classes, he was training with Nihara, which forced him to stay indoors even longer each day. Being cooped up for so long made him stir-crazy, but at lea

THE SUITORS
The morning sunlight shimmered bright through the windows as Aethon made his way down the busy palace halls. He swung around a corner, humming cheerfully to himself, and started to jog down a long, winding set of stairs. Suddenly he leaped up onto the banister and slid down, skillfully keeping his balance as the stairway spiraled down floor after floor. Just as he neared the bottom, he jumped off, flipped through the air, and went sliding on his knees right into the kitchens.
Just ahead of him, Cyan, who had been preparing herself a glass of morning tea, grinned and clapped.
"Another dramatic entrance, Aethon."

: PROLOGUE :
Slowly the sun descended in the skies, touching the distant storm clouds with streaks of fire. In the land far below, long shadows crept down the jagged mountainsides and seemed to slither, like wraiths, into the sprawling city of Arja. From his perch on an outcropping of stone, a lone figure looked out across his homeland warily, his golden eyes glinting in the last glaring rays of sunlight. He was a hedgehog, about fourteen or fifteen years old. His short, sleek fur was silvery-white in color, but now, as the gathering storm continued to darken the horizon, it was stained almost blood red. He shivered as a cold wind raked th
