![The Princess and the Dark Witch [Sonic RP Prologue] Empty](https://2img.net/i/empty.gif)
Eight years after Sonic had arrived in this world... And was thus crowned King Arthur, the rightful ruler of Camelot Castle, and the lands that stretched beyond it. He was supposed to have returned to his own world after his journey here had finished, but something had gone awry. Though one might have expected that he would be troubled by this development -- and indeed, it was surprising at first... He adjusted well enough when given some time.
His reign as King was interesting at first, to say the very least. He had to rely on the advice of those much more skilled in these matters than he was. Fortunately he had made many powerful allies in this world that were suited to such a task. The Knights of the Round Table were among them, of course. But so was Merlina the Wizard, and Nimue; the Lady of the Lake.
Though troubled at the start, he did eventually find his rhythm as King. With much insistence he also married... And then had a child of his own with his wife. Yes, this was among the advice that he was given. It led to the birth of the Princess.
But that all took place eight years ago. Now, the Princess was in a stuffy classroom which consisted of herself and her teacher, Merlina. She understood that all of these lessons were important, but it was just so boring...
Merlina sighs, closing her book and stepping over to her student... Then with a swift motion, gently whacks her with the staff she wielded. The Princess jolts awake in response.
"Huh?! Um, I wasn't sleeping!", she protested hastily.
Merlina gives her a look of worry. "I just caught you napping when you should be studying. Really, you're a bit too much like your father..."
The Princess gently rubs the spot of her head that had been given the infamous awakening tap. "I'm sorry. It just feels like these lessons will never end -- and all this sitting still!", she puts her hands on the desk and pushes herself up slightly as she speaks as though in revelation; "You should find out how to incorporate running around like dad does in these lessons! I could get really into it then!"
Merlina sighs once more. "Well, you certainly have his energy... And his impatience.", despite this, the Wizard can't help but smile. "But there's more to being the Princess than just knowing how to run fast or wielding a sword."
The Princess lets her head drop onto the desk in defeat, the rest of her body plopping back down into the chair along with the motion. "Ugh. I guess you're right..."
Merlina shakes her head at the sight, but nonetheless is smiling. "Alright. Let's have a short break, then. Perhaps you'll be able to finish the rest of this afterwards."
The Princess lifts her head and straightens out in her seat, giving a nod. "Right! Thanks, Merlina!"
With that, the young Hedgehog hops out of her chair and dashes over to the window -- she was certainly fast. Obviously it would be some time yet before she could move as fast as her father did, but that day would come. Camelot Castle was blessed with another beautiful day, one which she would very much rather be out there enjoying. But she knew that her studies came first.
Eventually she steps back from the window and her gaze naturally turns to the portrait hung up on the wall, depicting the King and Queen -- Sonic and Nimue.
Yes. Nimue had been an odd choice, all things considered. Especially considering her role in things. But Sonic was unconventional in many ways that she found refreshing. His method of courting her had been so amusing back then; but after a certain point... They ended up together. That was how the Princess came to be.
Merlina also gazes up at the portrait, feeling nostalgic.
"It's amazing to think of everything that has happened since then... You included, Princess."
The Princess throws her arms behind her own head and turns to Merlina with a grin. "The story of you and my father fighting, right? It's so hard to imagine you two being at odds!"
Just as Merlina is about to continue their conversation, it is interrupted by an awful tremor. Merlina stumbles slightly, but uses her staff to steady herself. The Princess wobbles and flails, but manages to steady herself as the tremor ceases.
Both of them rush to the window to see what has happened.
That is when they spot her. Morrigan. She wasn't alone either; she had brought seven Enforcers, and behind them was an army. One that looked a little too familiar for Merlina's tastes: They reminded her of the Knights of the Underworld. It was clear that they came here not for a peaceful visit. They came in force.
The Princess is able to spot her father with Excalibur in hand, ready to meet these foes. Worried, she looks to Merlina. Before they can consider what to do, the door to the room is broken apart by a huge weapon, and inside steps a Giant-One. Soldier-Ones soon follow. The Princess braces herself to fight, but Merlina acts quickly, twirling her staff and then tapping the end of it on the ground. Herself and the Princess are surrounded by a glowing sigil, and then they vanish on the spot.
... That is how Camelot Castle lost King Arthur, and it fell into the hands of Morrigan; whom came to be because of a trick by the Fairy Queen Mab, disguised as Nimue. She, too, had given birth to a daughter. Though this one held a dark power. She created the Seven Enforcers, who then became the Seven Super Emeralds, and in turn, the Seven Chaos Emeralds.
Her efforts did not stop there, though. She also forged a new sword, one that would truly crown her as the ruler of this world. Though her rule was opposed by many, ultimately she succeeded in her conquest. Though not without a share of challenges.
She may have been responsible for forging this new blade. But it did not declare her worthy. Still believing that she was the only one fit to wield it, she kept it in Camelot Castle. All the while, she was unaware of where the Princess had gone.
Merlina had spirited herself and the Princess away to a safe location. She described it as a Garden once tended to by her father. There, the Princess's training continued. For now she had new purpose; to defeat the Dark Witch that had stolen her kingdom, and slain her father.
Eight years passed since that fateful day...
