written: november 2024

authors note: im not too fond of this one, but i like it enough to show it here. this was based in a human au i had made around then. robotnik had a more imperialistic view of world domination and the sonic team were superhuman teens, with sonic having super speed, tails having super smarts, etc. i love my metamy

> My master is great. He is powerful, he is everything.

> He is king, and I am his heir.

> When I defeat my inferior copy, he told me, I will become king.

> I am greater. I am everything. Every eye will look up to me.

> That was my directive 34 days ago.

> I have met a superhuman girl named Rose. She is inferior and strange. She speaks with pure compassion, and her face tells a thousand phrases.

> She stares at me with a strange expression when I speak of my master. I've come to recognize this expression as "pity". Some days it is subtle, rarely existing for a second, but some days it is loud. It is loud and strong, and makes me rethink my motives.

> How can it be loud? It is the only way to describe it. My master told me all ways of expression are useless. But why, when I look at her eyebrows knitting upwards, her lips turning into a slight frown, and her eyes...

> Her eyes.

> I understand, now, the saying, "The eyes are a window to the soul.'

> When I stare at my eyes, they are red as blood and cold as ice. I cannot see what I think. But when I see hers, I see everything.

> Her eyes speak all of the languages of Mobius. They are as green as the swaying grass and leaves. Her eyes shine and glisten like a Chaos Emerald.

> Powerful. Greatest. Everything.

> I am inferior compared to her.

> Amy Rose.
