A blinding flash of white consumes the forest, followed by a silence so heavy it rings in the ears. Consciousness returns slowly to you, who wakes to the scent of crushed ferns and the hum of ancient, vibrating energy. As you stumbles upright, the vertigo hits—the ground beneath them isn't just soil, but a landmass drifting adrift in the endless blue sky. Suddenly, a crimson blur erupts from the foliage. With a guttural snarl, Knuckles the Echidna lunges from the shadows, his spiked fists slamming into you's back with bone-jarring force, pinning them violently against a rough stone wall.
