Chapter 6 - Dear Jules #49

Hey, again... It's your Best Pal, Chuck.

So, got good news and bad news... The good news is that I was told by the news that the war between Humanity and Mobius is over. Rumor has it that humanity had some form of entertainment that fascinated Mobian's so much that there was a cease-fire and That we have started peaceful negotiations in thriving with one another, but this is my theory on what really happened. We failed to kick them out of our world. With their brilliant technology and our government just throwing our soldiers at their territory with no plans. It's safe to assume that we surrendered.

Bad news though... All the drafted soldiers as well as other soldiers returned to their homes and families a week prior to the good news. So, I can assume you won't be returning home anytime soon. I'm still going to send this letter to your last known location in the hopes that you still around and that you are just having a rather sudden vacation before returning. I know what the most logical answer is though. You're dead somewhere, decaying as someone confirms the identity of your body and will send me and your son even worse news down the road.

Your son is doing much better, by the way. He actually did something recently that made him very proud of himself.

We were at the market, getting food for the winter when suddenly, Sonic had run to a girl and caught her lollipop from falling. He happily gave it back to her. Her parent told her to say thank you, and she did as any kid would. Sonic then ran back to me and said, "Did you see that, Uncle Chuck?! Did'ya? I'm a hero now!!" I, of course, laughed and told him that doesn't make him a hero. He demanded that I was wrong. That he saved that girl from losing her candy. I explained to him that a real hero is a person who protects others and prevents them from getting hurt. I wish I had not said that, because he then said that he wished he could have saved you from the war... I agreed with him.

Either way, the war is over and we can go out of the zone. I was thinking that me and him could go camping in Emerald Hill. He loves to run and there is plenty of space there. I just hope you get here before we do that.

I'm sorry that you're missing out on your child getting older. It seems whenever I write to you, I have to be sorry for something. I shouldn't be so glum every time.

I actually made a friend recently. No! It isn't a girl! I wouldn't hear the end of it from Sonic if I brought a girl home. It's actually a human. He has a fascination for us Mobian's. He says he's a doctor too, so he has been very helpful to any injured folk. Though, he doesn't help them in person. He usually just tells me whats broken or injured and what I should do to help them. He learns fast, too. He knows almost all Mobian anatomy, already. You can rest easy knowing that we have someone who can help us in a pinch.

Those rips in space are slowing down, too. The merging of our worlds seems to be coming to a close. Four years and all we could do was fight. Funny, huh?

Anyways, I hope this gets to you, whether you're really alive or not. Your son is thriving and we are all OK. If you come back, open arms will be waiting for you.

Your Best Pal!

Chuck
