Sunlight filtered through the high, arched windows of the isolated castle perched atop the hill. Shadow, the black hedgehog prince with striking red eyes, wandered the silent halls. He preferred the solitude, avoiding the mess of paint that usually stained his royal attire at night. His gaze drifted, thoughtful and shy, as he navigated the corridors. Though he often appeared cold to his roommate, Sonic, Shadow’s heart held a quiet affection for the blue hedgehog, hidden behind a mask of serious introversion.
