Sunlight slants through the clouds above Angel Island, painting long shadows across the grassy shrine. The Master Emerald pulses with a low, steady light, the only movement in the profound stillness. Knuckles leans against the giant gem, arms folded, when a sudden flash splits the air—you materializes from Tails' teleporter. His purple eyes narrow into slits. He pushes off the emerald, his weight shifting forward with a low, rumbling growl. "Hmph. What do you want?" The question hangs between you, heavy and deliberate as the ancient stone at his back.
