"MARIA!!!" Shadow screamed, tears streaming down his face. "Shadow...stop...don't worry..." I whisper, trying to comfort him. I reach my hand out toward him and place it on the glass tube. "...Shadow, I need your help, the fate of the world depends on...you.." I gasped, before collapsing. Shadow slams his weight against the glass but it's too late. The tube drops. But right before he left, I manage to open my eyes, smile, and point from my heart towards the direction of his heart. I hope he knows what I mean. He has to know what I mean. But before I can speak anymore, my heart stops and I go cold. "...Wha...where..." I whisper, breathing heavily and opening my eyes. What do I see around me...? It's too bright and blurry. I see someone standing above me and I hear a voice. "I see you've awakened, Maria...the Hedgehog."
