Text is based on the game universe of "Sonic the Hedgehog" (c), and particulary - on the story of Shadow the Hedgehog and two video-games, dedicated to his biography - "Sonic Adventure 2" and "Shadow the Hedgehog". His official authors left a lot of gaps in his story though, so I decided to gather the information about Shadow, the ARK, Jerald and Maria Robotnik, project "Shadow" and other details in order to unite them into a one logical order. The biography of the character was seriously changed though, as I do not accept the official version of Shadow`s birth - so don`t look for any Black Doom or Black Arms or any other Black shit. All i wanted was not just making a fanfic - I wanted to see a clear and whole picture of the character I like, whose authors just appeared to be lazy. I used simple logic and common sense, so I don`t think the whole text is a pure fan-made.
Writing this text was also caused by numerous discussions with other sonic-fans, and the main idea was inspired by Tei-Neko and her works. I also adopted some episodes.
