The next morning, the snow was melting a little since the season of Spring will arrive in a few days. The birds from migration coming back home, the bears from their hibernation coming out of the caves, and creatures that swim in rivers and lakes are feeling the frozen water melting a little.

Sonic was outside of his stone house, listening to the wind of leaves blowing in his face with his eyes closed, hearing the spirits talking to him.

"Listen to the inner voice of mine" Sonic said to himself and continues his listening to his own spirit.

Inside the house, Amy was waking up with a cute long yawn.

"Sonikku?" Amy got up to see what he's doing. She opens the door to see him sitting down listening to the spirits.

"Sonic, what are you doing?" Amy asked.

"Listening to the spirits, Amy. I do that every morning sometimes" he said.

"Cool, can I try it?" Amy asked.

"Sure Ames, go ahead" Sonic said. Amy sat next to him and closed her eyes. She inhales deeply and let the spirits in the air flow to her while the leaves flies with it. Sonic watched Amy feeling the spirits of the wind and it swirls around her.

"Huh? What's going on?" Amy gasped.

"It's the spirits, Amy. You are feeling them coming" Sonic said. Amy nods and closed her eyes again, meditating again.

"Listen to your inner voice" Amy said to herself.

She kept doing that and she stands up, allowing her quills/hair to flow in the wind. Then she looked down at Sonic, "That was amazing, Sonikku. I can feel it" Amy said.

"Cool. Come, let me teach you how to be like the wild forest animals" Sonic said.

Amy followed him and Sonic leads her to a cliff.

"You know that the Earth is just a dead thing you can claim, like King Scourge think he can own anything. But I know every rock and tree and creature has a life, has a spirit and has a name" Sonic said, showing Amy a perfect view over a cliff, seeing the castle Scourge lives at a far distance and the Native American village as well. Amy was amazed by the view and they got down the cliff to pass some small trees and rocks covered in a little melting snow. Then they spot a grizzly bear standing on another cliff. Amy was about to back away when Sonic held her close, showing the bear no sign of threat; they followed the bear to a hollow tree where it is shown the bear is a mother of three cubs. Sonic picked one of the cubs and shows it to Amy, the cub played with Amy's forelocks and squealed happily. Then Sonic hears a wolf howl far away from here.

"Awesome. Have you ever heard a wolf cry to the blue corn moon at night time?" Sonic asked Amy.

"Yes, at nights at my house I can hear a wolf howl sometimes" Amy said.

"Or a bobcat grinning?" Sonic joked.

"Don't be silly, bobcats can't grin" Amy giggled.

"You know, Ames. The colors of the morning sky are kinda beautiful as the mountains, let's run through that pine forest" Sonic said. They go away from the bears and runs through the pine tree forest looking at each other smiling.

"Hey, I'm like jogging like a herd of deer. So this is what a deer does" Amy asked while running through the forest.

"Yep. They do" Sonic answered and they leap over to a grass-field and at the same time some deer runs alongside them. Soon they came to a sun-rose flower field. They rolled on the grass until Amy was on top on Sonic.

"Whoops" Amy blushed hard.

Sonic got up and chuckled a little nervous, "Never mind that, but look at those eagles" he showed Amy two eagles flying to a tree sitting next to each other.

Amy and Sonic smiled at seeing the two eagles and they go to have another view on a cliff when an image of an eagle appeared on Sonic and some leaves blew past him.

"Since you can turn into a wolf, are there any nocturnal animals that you can show me around night time?" Amy asked.

"Yeah sure, there are owls at night" Sonic said, walking with Amy back to the stone house, unknown to them, they are holding hands together while walking.

At the village

Silver was in his deer form thinking about that strange purple cougar last night and she's a wild shape-shifter in the forest.

"Are you still gonna keep thinking about that wild cat last night?" Shadow asked.

"Oh, shut up" Silver said through telepathy, "I don't know if she's human or mobian"

"Dude, she's probably a mobian. Humans don't have purple hair in their animal forms" Shadow said.

"I see, but I wonder if she's from another tribe or not. I better go for a walk in the forest" Silver said through telepathy. Shadow simply shrugs and allows Silver to go in the forest alone.

"I better hope you don't get clawed" Shadow said.

"I heard that! I never get clawed in my deer form. I got hooves which are sharp and tough to fight enemies" Silver said in telepathy to Shadow.

"Don't forget your antlers!" Shadow shouted.

"Yeah yeah, whatever" Silver rolled his eyes; he headed deep into the forest.

After a while of walking, he heard some gnawing and growling noises nearby a cave, it was the purple cougar who is feasting on some salmons.

"Hmm....." Silver was not scared to face the angry purple cougar, so he walks in to see her, "Hi. Remember me last night?"

"HAAAAAAARH!!!!!" the cougar screeches angrily at Silver.

"Whoa, whoa! No need to be pissed off!" Silver backs off, "I'm not here to fight. I'm here to talk to you"

"Hmph, I don't talk to strangers like you. What the hell are you doing here?" the purple cougar growled.

"I want to ask you something. Are you a member of a tribe or not?" Silver asked through her thoughts.

"I have no tribe, I live on my own!" the cougar said in telepathy.

"And what's your name?" Silver asked.

"Blaze" the purple cougar said.

"And I'm Silver" Silver said.

The cougar morphed into a beautiful lavender colored cat with purple tail-tip, purple endings on her ponytail and wears traditional Native American clothing with a gem necklace.

"Whoa...so you are a shape-shifter" the white deer said.

"Yes, I told you that before and you are a hedgehog actually" Blaze said.

Silver nods and morphs back to a hedgehog, "Ta-da. Now last night was not very nice stealing mine and Shadow's prey, we were gonna roast the boars" Silver said.

"Hmph, I do things my way alone. Survival is what I do, indian hedgehog" Blaze crossed her arms.

"Hmmm....ah, I see what the problem is. You need a friend" Silver smirked.

Blaze looked at Silver with a curious look, "A friend?"

"Yes a friend, you can't be alone all the time since if you stay in the wild for too long you might go feral" Silver said.

"Is that so?" Blaze asked.

"Yes, follow me to my village. It's a peaceful place to stay at" Silver held her shoulder but she wipes his hand away.

"No thanks, Silver. But thanks" Blaze said.

Silver does the cute begging puppy face on her, "Please?"

Blaze rolled her eyes in annoyance and gives in, "Okay, fine. For this time" she sighs in defeat.
