X Universe: Chapter 1

== Chapter 1: The Beginning ==
=== In Mobius ===
"Princess? Princess Simha?" Pryne stood at Simha's shoulder, her red eyes boring into the back of Simha's head, as if look alone could shake the princess from her noontime reverie. For the past few months, Simha had had her head in the clouds, oblivious to everything except what was currently on her mind: what to do about the Mobian and human populace. She had tried, so hard, to make a connection with them, but to no success; the humans and Mobians still feared her and her people.
As Simha's adviser, it was Pryne's responsibility to teach the young princess to act in a way befitting a leader. But, unfortunately for her, Simha didn't have the same idea.
Which made Pryne frustrated even more. "Princess Simha!" Pryne hissed in Simha's ear. Simha jumped at her adviser's sharp tone, her shoulders and tail tense, spikes extended, hair standing on end.
After a moment of recovery, her adviser giving her a steely glare, Simha straightened to her full height and addressed her adviser in as regal a tone as she could muster: "Yes, Pryne?"
Pryne crossed her arms over her chest, her gaze unblinking. "The workers, the ones you assigned to the building of your fortress, are almost done. Soon, very soon, we'll have the defenses necessary to protect ourselves from the threat we are facing."
"And, what threat is that?" Simha coldly remarked. Pryne was silent. "The humans? The Mobians? Who are we trying to hide from here?!"
"Princess!" Pryne snarled, her tail twitching as it curled around her legs, her face scrunched in irritation. "Enough is enough! Remember your place among us! You are our leader... You do not belong to them!"
Pryne bit her tongue, hard, realizing what she had done. But, before she could apologize or call her back, Simha had made a dash through the open window, running away from Pryne, gliding past any workers she came across, heading straight into the jungle.
Black tears running down her face.
=== In Station Square ===
Fireflower tightly clutched her bag, pressing it against her belly. Everywhere around her, people were moving at a brisk pace. It made her head spin as she tried to keep up with their swift movements. Behind her, someone stepped on one of her seven tails. Fireflower stifled a squeal, increasing her pace.
She wasn't used to being on her own. Compared with her quiet, peaceful life in the village of Chun-nan, the city was disrupted, and chaotic. Behind her and in front of her were a wall of bodies; men and women dressed head to toe in black and grey suits and uniforms. The lack of personal space made Fireflower dizzy and nauseous.
Then she saw it. An opening. After much pushing and elbowing, she finally made it to a stop sign and leaned against it, wiping a line of sweat from her brow.
Yes, I've made it. She thought triumphantly. Now then, back to the matter at hand. Fireflower pulled a piece of paper out of her bag and unfolded it, slowly. The writing on the paper was in the Chun-nan language, addressed to Sonic the Hedgehog. Fireflower looked over the letter again, reading the words to herself silently, before placing the letter back in her bag.
New courage surged through her as she gazed up at the terrifying glass skyscrapers, clouds spiraling around their needle-like tops. Sonic the Hedgehog, here I come!
