you live an endless life forever

[ For Shadow, as far as he'd met, there were two Sonics that he trusted more implicitly than the rest. Implicit trust did not come easily for the black hedgehog, and trusting enough to tell another some of his past, though mild, was more trust than he'd give anyone casually. One Sonic he met while in Johto, who he was able to share some of his story with, and come to a point of understanding, especially at a time when he was trying to decide what to do with himself since two very important people had disappeared from the world.

The other blue hedgehog was one that had found him while Shadow had been suffering from hallucinations and intense fear, showing a side he never showed anyone else. That Sonic had stayed by him and managed to bring Shadow back to his former self.

Now, Shadow had holed himself up in a Station Square library, reading a few books. He had a pile of them on a table and was steadily working through all of them... But at the same time, he thought about his recent actions, recent decisions. Was he becoming what the Professor wanted him to be? What Maria wanted? Was Sonic right; that he should be whoever he himself thought was best? Living for oneself was something Shadow never did before. It would certainly take some getting used to.

He flips another page, catching up on history and technological advances made by mankind and different parts of the world. The information was greatly appreciated, allowing him to learn about the people he was supposed to help... for Maria's sake. ]


... Hmph.

[ He reads a quote at the bottom of one page. ] “We can do no great things; only small things with great love.” Mother Teresa... [Shadow leans back against his seat, thinking about the quotation he read.] Is that really true, I wonder.

All right, suit yourself!

[Sonic raced along with Shadow, seeing that they were going in the right direction to get back to where they started. As fast as they were going, they made it there not too long after they picked up from where they left off with the blue hedgehog coming in as a close second, which seemed to end up as rather normal now. That would have to change. Definitely have to change.]

Heh, we need a rematch. So this means I will hafta track you down so we can have it.

[ When Shadow stopped, he carefully removed his shoes, stepping on the warm sand in his bare feet. He's casual about lifting up the runners and shaking them, getting stray sand out. After a moment, he replaces them, adjusting their tightness. ]

Very well. But not today. I've had enough exploring for one afternoon.

Heh, no problem! I'm not worried 'bout it!

[Sonic stretched his legs, hanging onto his shoes as he did so, then hopped up again on his feet once he was done.]

I'm gonna stay out here and practice some more! If you're headin' back, then you take care of yourself, okay?

[ Shadow nodded briefly before turning to walk away. He stopped once more, mumbling a thank you before continuing his way to the library. ]
