Sonic, Shadow, and Ella's Conversation

At the very place Sonic was found as a baby, Sonic sat there, crying. He didn't want to believe at first that everything he knew to be true was a lie, but reality hit him.

"Sonic? Shadow?" said a voice. It was Queen Ella, who was standing there behind him. She slowly and silently walked up to him as Sonic turned his head. "Is this where you found me?" he asked, tears streaming from his eyes and down his furry cheeks. "Sonic, please try to understand," said Ella, trying to convince him otherwise, but Sonic was still driven mad and torn apart by everything he saw. "So everything I thought, everything I am... is a lie?" he thought.

Ella was unfazed. "No!" she told him tenderly and lovingly. "You are our son and we love you." She rubbed his wig and laid a hand on his shoulder. Sonic looked at her, half-angry, half-sad. "Why did you choose me?" he questioned, but Ella still tried to convince him that wasn't all true. "We didn't, Sonic. The gods did." Sonic sadly looked down at the water as Ella moved a bit and sat down next to Sonic.

Ella: This is your home, my son

Here the river brought you And it's here the river meant To be your home

Sonic looked at his "mother" very sadly as she gently put her hands on his cheeks.

Now you know the truth, love Now forget and be content When the gods send you a blessing You don't ask why it was sent

Sonic still looked at her with saddened eyes and wondered if he would remember everything she told him. She could only smile at him as her hands still rested on his cheeks. They joined into a hug, but Sonic began to cry again, wondering if she was right or if what he saw that night was truer.
