Sonadow – Eternal
Prologue
It was a freezing cold winters night in the middle of an open field of wild grass. The skies were clear having the full moon and stars visible for the world to see. The wind blew its ice cold air as two figures were standing in front of each other as the hour approached midnight, a dark woodland area behind the two where they stood. One was a tall male wolf dressed in a long hooded robe, with the hood covering his whole face, holding a small bundle wrapped in a thick white blanket. The other figure was a female hedgehog with a thick winter coat, tightly wrapped around her slender body, with the hood over her head and covering the top half her face.
"Nancy, you are a rebel angel searching for redemption. The Lord has granted you that redemption and entrusts you with a very important task. This small baby that I hold in my arms came from hell itself. He is the demon kings created son and I have stolen him from hell and turned him into a very young infant on the Lords request. He is very powerful and deadly, he can even outrival his own father if he so wished to. He will have no memory of his life in hell or his powerful abilities unless his demonic side awakens, if that were to happen then the world will perish into fire and death. Your task is to raise him and show him love and compassion for others, give him a purpose other than the one his father has given him. If you fail then you will never be welcome back into heaven and you will roam the earth as a mortal, your grace will be ripped away and destroyed." The male seriously said with a deep frown at Nancy, who was bowing her head slightly.
"I understand and I will not fail. He will be raised with all those things and so much more. I promise this to you and out Lord in heaven." Nancy replied then lifted her head up to face the wolf revealing her determined light pastel purple eyes.
"We are all pleased to hear this Nancy and good luck my friend." The wolf smiled warmly then passed the baby over.
Nancy took a hold of the small infant and looked down at him with a smile. He was almost completely covered with the blanket, apart from his face. It was obvious to Nancy he was a hedgehog with black fur and had red in him as well. She gasped lightly as the baby slowly opened his eyes to reveal ruby red iris'.
"His name is Shadow Casadonte` and you are now Nancy Casadonte`. You will act and play the roll of mother to him. We have set you up with a home, in a small village not far from here. We have supplied you with everything you will need and money for you both to live on. Here are credit cards and identifications, as well as the deed and keys to your new house." The wolf said as he passed Nancy a small navy blue handbag.
"Thank you Alfred" Nancy replied as she took the bag into her free hand, holding the baby securely in one arm.
"I will be visiting every now and then to see how things are going and to help out if and when you need it. To Shadow, I will be nothing more than a close friend to you." Alfred softly said with a small smile.
"Of course, I appreciate it. Is there anything I should know for when he grows older?" Nancy asked with a smile up at Alfred.
"Don't let him mate with anyone, try to steer him away from anything that involves romantic relations with others. If he were to mate then the person he mates with be granted immortality and will automatically join him in hell if he ever returns there. We are all hoping he wont ever find out before our work on him is finished and we are all hoping everything you will be teaching him will be enough to ensure he wont condemn the world." Alfred seriously replied then placed a gentle hand on Nancy's shoulder adding, "I know you will do your best for him and raise him well. I will see you both soon, call if you need me."
Nancy smiled and nodded as Alfred retracted his hand and vanished back to heaven. She looked down at the hedgehog in her arms and smiled warmly down at him.
"I guess it's just you and me now sweetheart. Come on lets go home." Nancy softly said, earning herself a yarn from the baby.
