It's late at night Shadow is on his way back to the castle after a rough day of fighting off men from the dark empire he was about 2/3 of the way there when suddenly he hears something in the tree line it sounds like a baby?
He gets off his horse and walks over to the source of the sound and finds a basket and removes the blanket and finds a small pink hedgehog inside.
"A baby?, what are you doing here"? Shadow asks him self
He picks up the baby and looks at her emerald green eyes for some reason he sees something in this child that reminds him of himself he smiles and walks over to his horse.
(At the castle)
Shadow arrives at the castle and walks into the thrown room and bows at king Eggman.
"Your majesty I have return".
"Ah sir Shadow you're back" Eggman saids
"And what do you have in your hand"?
"A baby I found her on my way back she was alone".
"I see let me see her"
Shadow walks over to Eggman and hands him the baby he looks at the small newborn.
"Hmmm very young no older than a few weeks at most but she dose looks healthy". king Eggman explains
"Perhaps when she's older she would make a good slave".
"Wait". Shadow shouts
"What seems to be the problem Shadow". Eggman asks
"I just realize that we need more squires perhaps when she's older she could become one".
"I see but who will be her mentor"?
"I will".
"Are you sure Shadow it hasn't been long since you know what happened".
"I'm positive"
"Alright then she's all yours".
Eggman hands the child back to Shadow who looks down and smiles at her.
"You better know what you're doing Shadow i'm putting a lot of trust in you" Eggman saids in a stern voice
"I wont let you down your majesty".
"Good you are dismiss".
Shadow leaves the thrown room and makes his way to the barracks but on the way he runs into lady Blaze.
"Shadow you're back".
"Hello Blaze I see your day was well".
"Kind of boring but".
That's when Blaze notices the baby.
"Umm Shadow what's with the baby"? Blaze asks
"I found her on my way back she's my new future squire". Shadow answers
"Whoa Shadow a new squire already"?
"Well not straight away I need to wait a few years before then".
"Yeah but still I'm shock".
"Trust me I'm shock too". Shadow responds
"Well I had a long day and I need all the rest I can get".
"I hear ya and if you need any help with the new baby let me know".
"Thanks Blaze I'll see you in the morning".
(At the barracks)
Shadow arrives at the barracks and walks into his room he places the baby on his bed and starts a fire he then picks her up and sits on his bed and looks down at her.
"Quite one are you"?
The only response he gets are baby nosies.
"Hmmmm what should I call you little one"?
Shadow thinks about a name for a few minutes and finally finds one.
"I found it how about Skylar you like that name"?
Skylar laughs and grabs Shadow's nose
"I'll take that as a yes"
Shadow puts down Skylar on his bed and takes out an empty draw from his dresser and turns it into a small bed and place Skylar in it.
"I'll get you a crib in the morning this should do".
He picks up the makeshift bed and places it on the desk he then goes in his bed and slowly slips into a deep sleep.
(13 years later)
"And thats the story on how I found you". Shadow saids
"Wow I can't believe you found be in the woods". Skylar says shock
"Well it's sad but true".
"I see, Shadow"?
"Yes"?
"Why do you think I was left there"?
"Well I don't know my guess is that you where from a village that was attacked for the dark empire and your mother left you there to hide you".
"Oh I see".
Shadow looks up at the sky and sees that it is high noon.
"Well looks like our break is over ready to continue training"?
"Yeah I'm ready".
Shadow and Skylar head back to the training hall ready to continue training.
