*He raises an eyebrow. Well, it was not uncommon for Mephiles, his Mephiles at least, to do something like that. Where he got that knowledge puzzled Shadow, but he didn’t ask.*
I suppose that’s true…..
*He needs to think it over a bit more, but right now thinking is not going to help his head ache. Plus he’ll need to get going soon.*
Mephiles, as if to reiterate his point, conjured a tiny little shadling by his foot. He looked to it, it looking back with the most ridiculously and stupidly cute grin, and then motioned towards Shadow. That little bit showed that he communicated with all his conjured creatures just as the Mephiles of this world did, but telepathically. Either way, the shadling did as it was told, squeaking and then running off, then coming back with a tiny rock, it seemed, seconds later and presenting it to Mephiles.
He took the rock, which was actually a very dirty piece of quartz, rolling it in his fingers. “True, and perhaps somewhat sad, but the world does need its drones.” Mephiles looked to the shadling, which was now sitting, looking back between the two hedgehogs, and rolled his eyes. “Well, it’s not a completely mindless drone, but my point still stands.” Mephiles huffed to the little creature and it went off on its own, staying close but digging at the ground, presumably to look for more quartz.
Then, continuing with the bee theme, Mephiles said: “So I ask you: are you a drone, or are you the queen of the hive?” He was testing Shadow, again.
*Shadow looked down and took a step back at first, not sure what the thing was. It grinned and Shadow felt a shiver running up his back, shoulders moving slightly. The hedgehog’s wings puffed up a bit. How…creepy. He watched it run off, pick up the quartz, and come back. He nods slowly, slightly. Mephiles did have a point again. A good point. Twice in one day. Extraordinary to Shadow. A bit unnerving that he was this smart, but still Shadow found that, as they talked more and more, he came to respecting Mephiles more. This Mephiles at least.
Mismatched eyes watched the little dark thing run off to go play with the cracked, hard dirt all around them.
Shadow looked up at Mephiles, something sparking in his eyes. Former fury. Anger. Hate. Pain again. He had a lot of that in him. Too much maybe.
Was he just a pawn in another’s game, or was he the one holding all the cards?
What was he in all of this?
The errand boy?
No, Shadow would not allow himself to go to that level. Not again. Not ever again. He was not just some mindless pawn. He was not an agent of GUN anymore. He was not a soldier in Black Doom’s army. He was not a small project on ARK anymore who had to shut up and deal with the tests. Shadow was not the pawn anymore. He was bigger then that.
But at the same time, was he in charge?
Sadly, no, not completely. But he started it all. He got everything running. And those that start something must finish it. So what would he finish it as? The soldier or the commander?
………..
Shadow looks down and kept quiet, still thinking, still processing his thoughts, still trying to figure out how he had ended up here, no knowing.
In the end, Shadow wasn’t sure.*

*she looks at Shadow with concern* “Shadow? What’s wrong?”
If she really is talking about Solaris, and there is a Mephiles in your world…
Rebecca, Solaris killed Sonic and Silver in my world. I…
*He’s quiet for a moment. He’d never told this to anyone. Time to come out with it*
It killed me too…Chaos didn’t just heal me back then. He brought me back to life. I really did die. I’m living off of borrowed time. I got four hundred years Rebecca. Four hundred to live and finish all of this. That was three hundred years ago. Over three hundred years ago. I’m running out of time to stop all of this.
*her eyes are wide and she’s a bit pale with her hands over her mouth* “Shadow…. Oh Chaos….” *she gently places her natural hand on Shadow’s muzzle*
*He swallows painfully, slightly leaning against her hand. Shadow needs to land now. He feels a bit queasy.*
H-hold your breath again, I’m going back down.

*a thoughtful look crosses her face* “Iblis? I think I’ve heard something about that before but she mentioned a white flame. I don’t think it was a normal one.”
*He’s quiet for a bit, snapping out of his little auto mode*
It’s a giant fire demon that originated by one flame. I think she was talking about Iblis….I don’t know.
*she thinks for a minute before finally remembering what Elise called it* “Solaris.”
*Shadow pales and they drop a bit int he air*
Solaris….the god of time and fire. Oh sweet Chaos…
