The Tale of the Fall of the Oracle
DIR By: Amberfeather
Date: December 27, 2014, 8:00 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
(This is Amberfeather's full-on backstory, so you may hear some
parts that are from Sonic Boom, which thus, are my own
mini-theories of it. Might be very long to read, but that is
just how I write them!)
It was very long ago, in another world, where the Echidna Clan
and the Last Ancients were once allies in controlling the
world's resources, and also, controlling the twin sources of
Chaos Energy: the Master Emerald, and the crystal mega-gem
called the Topaz Crystal. This was the world Amberfeather had
once called home, which at this time in that Zone, known as the
Crystal Zone to those who live there now, had Angel and Crystal
Island joined together by a truce made when the first Mobians
discovered the islands.
Of course, during that timeframe, the reign of a secret
'kingdom' of hedgephoenixes was in the middle of a horrid civil
war nicknamed the 'Crystal Chaos', because one of the seven
Chaos Crystals was hidden in the share of the island where the
Last Ancients lived that was for the kingdom, which got the
rulers quite greedy -Crystal Island-, and thus, a family of one
of the warriors, Skycrystal (all warriors got the name 'crystal'
somewhere in their names once they became a warrior), all
perished in the Battle of Darkcrystal, except for an unnamed
child of amber-colored wings and teal eyes, which was
Amberfeather herself at the time.
When that child came of three years old, on an autumn day in the
territory of the Last Ancients (or the Topaz Territory), the
Oracle of the Last Ancients, a very old serpent woman with
knowledge going back to the beginning of the Ancients, found her
unconscious, injured, and half-starving (the last one is due to
her being in unfamiliar territory thanks to being chased from
the hedgephoenixes') with nothing but a mysterious pendant of
amber, and of the hedgephoenix kingdom's Chaos Crystal, the Blue
Chaos Crystal, parallel to the Blue Chaos Emerald.
Seeing the potential of the girl through the Chaos Crystal, the
Oracle brought the hedgephoenix back to the Crystal Temples
(where in the actual Boom Universe, Sonic frees Lyric), the home
of the Last Ancients, and the girl, later on, met the 5-year-old
Lyric, whom of which had the strangest destiny to come. After a
month, however, Lyric had opened up to her a lot, and gave her a
proper name, 'Amberfeather', in honor of the amber-feathered
wings she had, to her delight.
At age six, she was fluent in the language of the Last Ancients
(which shared with the hedgephoenixes due to territory sharing),
and had gained a 'brother-sister' relation with Lyric. She also
began to fly during this time by teaching herself to, and also
began reading many of the runes the older Ancients wrote, making
her very fluent in the Ancients' history, culture, and of the
workings of the Chaos Energy from both the Master Emerald and
Topaz Crystal.
Later on, she started singing/telling stories to Lyric and the
rest of the Ancients when she became 12, and gained her nickname
'Chorus/Choira' from Lyric himself, who had come to tease her
like any brother would do to a sibling, and she began training
for combat with him, becoming skilled with a bow and Chaos
Magic, and also, during that time, she had began to learn about
the lives of the Echidnas, the story of the chief's mother and
her granddaughter, Tikal, being the most intriguing for
Amberfeather to hear. She had also attended a certain peace
meeting later on concerning the world's resources that had all
the Echidnas' separate tribe leaders there, and had learned of
the growing greed of one of the tribe leader's sons, Pachacamac.
And when she became 14 and Lyric had become 16, Amberfeather's
connection to Lyric began to break. The Oracle had begun to
train Amberfeather to become the next Oracle herself, while
Lyric had been chosen as one of the peacekeepers that would help
manage the world's resources. Greed began to eat away at Lyric,
and he began making terrible robots in secret, to Amberfeather's
horror when she saw him one night building them, talking of
destroying the world, taking its resources, and even going as
far as making the whole world a bleak and metallic place. She,
that year, had begun to train as much as she could with the
Oracle, and sending messages to Tikal in Angel Island as much as
she could, getting worse news that Pachacamac was going as far
as eradicating the other Echidna tribes for power, and that
Tikal herself was trying to stop it.
The day before Amberfeather was 'locked away' with Crystal
Island, she was given a strange prophecy from the Oracle,
learning of Lyric's future fate if she didn't stop him then.
'On the eve of the summer solstice, among the crystal prisons;
The greatest evil will reawaken, but so will your heart of
darklight...
Two different realms;
one by the blue hedgehog of Chaos, one by the aurora of the
sky....
Must you find this Emerald yourself, the flames marked upon your
wings will persist...
Until the day when you reunite the Crystal and the Emerald....
Then, on the day of Amberfeather's 15th birthday, everything
went to pure chaos, and the day that Chaos was unleashed with
the death of the Oracle.
Lyric unleashed his robots, and was about to kill the leader of
the Last Ancients, just for the leader himself to encase Lyric
in pure crystal by fire.... and Amberfeather made a special vow,
that when Lyric is fully encased, she shall 'disappear' with the
island, which was at the time Tikal managed to seal herself with
Chaos into the Master Emerald- and in that moment that happened,
she gained the flame markings as she faded into the very pendant
that she had arrived to the area with.
(the part where she gets brought to the Zone this forum is
sorta)
During the time of Amberfeather/Lyric's imprisonment and also
the second-to-last Guardian of the Master Emerald (which is a
theory of mine who had lived during what would be Mobius's
'Black Plague' stage equivalent to the real world's),
Alexandrei's time, the pendant had been warped out of the
Catacombs of Amberfeather's Zone, and into this one by an
accidental mass Chaos Control of small objects by the echidna
Guardian of Amberfeather's Zone, and would be unseen by the
echidna Kida, until the point in time Amberfeather now exists.
