My first crack at Project Shadow was a complete failure. As it seems, I didn't get the DNA that I wanted. The DNA seemed to be more reptilian. There were no reptiles on the walls of the tomb, but, like my father said, there is no telling what I can make. Wait, I just realized something when I was writing this. One of my scientific aides brought a lizard into the laboratory to do research on regeneration. That man wants to find the cure for amputation. If humans can regenerate their limbs, there will be no need for artificial limbs. That man can win a Nobel Prize. Getting to the matter at hand, my hunch is that the lizard tampered with my DNA that I had. Observing the test tube of DNA, I have found a shedded scale probably from that little lizard. But, it is polite to give it a name, so I will call it the Biolizard. The lizard has one strange thing about it. He keeps on growing nearly endlessly. When it stops, I think it will not be what I expected. Hopefully, I will be able to communicate with it. Most likely, he will be a wild beast. I will prepare another clone just in case the thing turns out as I thought. The reason behind the name, "Shadow" was because, the thing that I am cloning, Anubis, was said to be an immortal god of Ra. This mythical beast trampled over Egypt and casted a shadow over the world. He was ready to conquer the world with his army, but three lucky and powerful people took down his army with help of humans, man-like animals, and mutinous greyhounds. The true legend is known by few, including my father. It also featured seven other chaos emeralds, located in the other world. I guess this eighth one is the key to power. Amazing, if I do say so myself.
