Hello,in this short space i will write down the stuff i couldn't write down as a part of the story, and since this is The human menace:origins, everything has to be clear to you about the story so here are some things you should know.

1:Shadow doesn't have a real name,it was lost with his parents

2:His parents may be alive

3:He spent his eight years working around Ponyville until he earned enough for the train to Canterlot, where he waited to mature.

And that's the first part of Shadow's story, if there are still some things unclear for you feel free to pm me about your question.

Short notice:I will first release some chapters for origins until going for season 2 of The human menace.
