Oc Adventurez: Episode 1: A New Home

The sounds of bullets and explosions mixed with the screams of civilians roared throughout Paris. Homes and workplaces fell to the ground as her people were ushered to the docks onto boats. Among the crowd, a dark gray hedgehog, along with her son, rushes to one of them.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, but we only have enough room for one more person!" said the man at the entrance. This wasn't good news. She was faced with a dilemma: board the ship and leave her son behind or let him board the ship by himself alone with strangers. She considered looking around for another boat, but heard somebody calling her name.

"Agnes! Over here!"

'Ah, it's Eli!' she thought. "Come on Xiro, this way!" she said as she grabbed her son's wrist and ran towards the tawny hedgehog. He was standing next to his small steamboat, waving.

"Don't worry 'bout Xir, here, Aggie. My boat can take 'em ta' 'murry in no time sharp!" reassured Elijah once Agnes reached him.

"Oh, thank you, Eli!" replied Agnes, who then swiveled towards Xiro and handed him a receipt. "This was for the apartment me and you were going to have, but since I won't be with you, I'm giving you this; oh, I almost forgot!" she said and took €79.85 out of her purse and gave it to her son and hugged him. "Be good to Mr. Polyweather now, do you understand? He would put his life on the line for you, you know?"

"Yes ma'am." Xiro returned. Agnes kissed him on the head and bid him Godspeed as he boarded the ship. He was missing her already.
