Shadow the hedgehog. The one guy in high school that nobody gave two shits about. The one guy that nobody talked to. That nobody acknowledged. Outcast. Reject. Monstrosity. He had been called them all. He didn't care. Only one person never said anything. Only one person gave him that silent glance saying everything would be alright. Only one person ever held his heart it their hands, and she was it.
Amelia Rose Hedgehog. The only woman he would ever love. After the death of his sister, he lost all sense of pity, and mercy, and care. He became what he hated most. Then, he met her. She was the only person who saw te real Shadow. The one that was sweet, loving, and sensitive. The one that he swore to keep from society, locked away in a chest hidden from prying eyes.
She changed all of it. Just when he got so close to her though, she was swept away from him. By, him. The one hedgehog that he hated above all else. Sonic. Sonic the hedgehog. He was crushed. Thank The Lord for his friends, however few there were. They were what kept him from murder. Just barely.
Years later, she was his, and his alone. He love and cherished her beyond compare, and then she was taken from him for the final time. She was slaughtered by the same one who Shadow had once called friend. His best friend. His first friend. Then, his mortal enemy.
Before he could change any of it, his life was cut short. He was basically cloned, then murdered like one would raise pigs for slaughter. This clone, this surrogate son, vowed to carry out the will of his father, even if it meant his own life. It mattered not. He was given a goal, and by all things divine, he was going to finish it.
This, is his story.
