It was around noon when they reached the orphanage, Mrs. Green came rushing out "great hay bales!" she exclaimed "where have you been George? I got Shadows message from the tree. I know when Shadow is with someone they never get hurt." She then noticed George's leg. "W-w-w-what happened" she stammered. "Well" George started to say. "He had a little accident" Shadow finished out for him. "Well then go and rest for a bit George" Mrs. Green told him. As soon as George went inside Shadow told her what had happened, "So both you and George encountered a strange dark blur that injured George?" Mrs. Green asked "Yes" Shadow answered "but my arm got injured as well". Mrs. Green was shocked, "But, I don't see any injury's on you". "That's a good point, but I can use the spell Shadow Hide on my injuries" Shadow explained "so you can't see them unless I stop using Shadow Hide". Shadow's wounds started to show as the spell was removed. "See? I can hide my wounds" as soon as Shadow said those words the wounds quickly mended themselves "And they can heal pretty quickly. And with that shadow left to his tree.
It was about 3 day after George's 'adventure'. Shadow was out resting in his tree as he usually did when he sensed a slight ripple through him; he knew something had approached, though he didn't really care since it wasn't evil. A few moments later Mrs. Green came by and told him that some pony wanted to talk to him. Shadow sighed, "well at least I was able to take my nap," he said as he jumped down from his tree and walked into the orphanage. To Shadow's surprise it was not one pony but two ponies, and not even that, they were Alicorns. a unicorn with Pegasus wings. Shadow bowed in front of them, "Princess Celestia, Princess Luna what brings you to our humble orphanage?"
"Your Black Shadow aren't you? My sister told me of what happened." Shadow nodded, "if it's alright with you I would like to be called Shadow, I like that name better than my first name." Celestia nodded, "then it shall be, so tell me your version of the incident." "will it be okay if I just show you my memories?" Luna was shocked, "you can do that? not many ponies can do that you know," "well," Shadow said, " I'm not entirely a pony, I'm also a dragon." Shadow started to concentrate and a slight black glow appeared on Shadow's horn as a image started to appear. Shadow fell into a deep meditation and the image started to show clearly.
"Why does he always do this? I'll never understand why, the moon is beautiful, she is a beauty indeed," the so called dark blur went by and Shadow exclaimed, "what in scales name was that thing? And I lost George again," 'he's this way,' a voice called out. "thanks guys, I really appreciated you helping me." 'what did you expect? you are the very few to understand us, not even the Princesses of Equestria can understand us." the voice said with sarcasm, 'as for that creature, we can't identify it,' then the image changed to where George was being bandaged, "I would heal it faster. But I don't have the fire of healing, only the fire of shadows and regular fire."
"Eh that's okay," George said to his friend, "as long as you can bandage it and keep it from getting worse, then I'm fine with the way it is." Shadow was thinking for a moment when he asked, "hey George, get some sleep. we'll be leaving in the morning." "you know I can't go to sleep when I'm wide awake, can you at least sing me one of your lullabies? I listen to you sing it to yourself at night while you cry. why is it that you cry?" Shadow sighed heavily, "its because at night I always think of my parents, they are still alive, I know it." a minute went by when Shadow started to sing to George in Dragontongue, "Fod hi los pruvos tiiraaz, unstiid dahmaan wo lokaal hi, waan hi fraan naalein frolok um hi ahrk hi wont kos naalein, nu es dii dovah ahrk laag vulon hond." when Shadow was finished he noticed that Georg was sound asleep. Shadow didn't dare to sleep for a dark specter was watching. Then all of a sudden the dark blur ran to attack George, "oh no you don't," Shadow said as he used his left arm to block the blur from attacking, but it resulted in shadow's arm being broken, "I won't let you hurt him, you here me? So, go, Away!" the last word came out deeper and Shadow used his right arm and threw a punch, unlike the left arm a loud solid whack sounded throwing the blur out into a distance, "that should keep you away," Shadow said in a normal voice.
The image faded away as Shadow started waking up from his deep meditation, "so is that what you wanted to see? I couldn't really see it since I had to meditate,"
"Yes Shadow, we saw the correct memory" Luna told him.
"We have known about this blur or specter for a while now" Celestia said, "though it is strange that he would be out this far away in Equestria." Shadow thought for a moment, "I know you are hiding something from me," "yes, we were thinking about hiring you to be a guard for us, but getting you to do it may be a problem." Luna told him. "then you don't know me at all," Shadow said with a laugh, "I'll gladly except your offer, but I'll leave tonight, and I'll get there in about two weeks if there are no delays." "then so be it, we'll let you come on your own terms." Celestia said smiling. and with that they left.
'Your doing what now?" "I'll be going away George," Shadow sighed, goodbyes were hard, "don't worry, I'll always remember you." and with that Shadow flew off into the night leaving George who had a smile on his face, a smile of happiness.
so that's the second chapter, I have another 10 to add on after this, Shadow looks like a dragon but has a black unicorn horn, and orange hair on his head.
