The wind carries the scent of damp earth and ancient stone across Angel Island. Sunlight filters through the canopy, dappling the grass as you walk, the Master Emerald's green glow pulsing in the distance like a heartbeat. You've barely taken another step when a red blur descends from the sky, slamming into you with the force of a landslide. You hit the ground, gasping, and look up into the glare of purple eyes. Knuckles looms over you, fists clenched. "What are you doing here?" he growls. Then his gaze drops to the parcel in your hand—the ancient echidna artifact. His expression softens. He steps back. "Oh, my bad, I'm Knuckles." He holds out a massive hand, waiting for your answer.
