The Origin of the Time Eater

Fist days

The black hedgehog wakes up in his bed beacuse his phone alarm, located on the dresser next to his bed. His room was light blue, the floor had a dark blue carpet. He had a desk where he worked on paperwork, and a bed where his chao Devil slept. His chao was a dark adult trained mainly for speed, when he took a liking to Shadow, he acquired his shape, next to his bed was his feeder, water bottle and a box with his toys. The light entered through a window located on the opposite wall where the head of the bed was attached. The little one was still sleeping peacefully in his bed. Shadow got up from his, put on his slippers, in addition to his rings, it was the only thing he was wearing. Shadow had claw-like nails on both his hands and feet. He went to his bathroom to prepare for the day, when he left the Mephiles's door was closed, just as he had left it before bringing him home. He thought he was inside and went back to his preparation. Today was Saturday, so he wasn't in a hurry, he went to the bathroom, washed his face to wake up completely and went downstairs to prepare his breakfast. Before going downstairs, he realizes that the living room light is on. He directs his gaze to the couch and Mephiles's head goes about popping out. He approaches.

-Good Morning...?

-Oh! good morning Shadow.

As he approaches, he sees Mephiles with a book in his hand, but what surprises him is to see columns of books piled up on the table, he looks at the shelves and sees that only a few remain. He looks at the gray pudu again and asks confused.

- Have you been able to read all those books?

-Indeed. It was complicated at first, but apparently I began to understand it as I continued reading, I started with the dictionary, then I continued with the encyclopedia, and in the end I got into several books about the scientific fields you had, philosophy, mathematics, physics ...

-Did you read all this in one night? –Shadow was in shock, he couldn't understand what he was hearing, it took him almost a year to read and understand everything he put in those books, and less if he adds the unread ones. -Did you read the dictionary and encyclopedia?

-Yes, and yes. I thought that by learning about these things I could acquire enough knowledge to be useful, as you said yesterday, and to be able to learn how to develop with you socially and with the environment to adapt to it. Oh ritgh, I must give you my sincere gratitude for letting me read them and about writing, today I will practice on my calligraphy, spelling and grammar, I don't think I will master it all by tomorrow, but if I can advance enough I will have it ready for Monday. The problem is that I haven't been able to study history yet, first I want to learn about psychology, it is the last thing I should consult.

Shadow couldn't believe what he was hearing, it was impossible that in one night he could understand everything written in those books. He began to think what repercussions such a thing could have, perhaps he hadn't thought so well about accepting to be the "babysitter" of this creature, could this turn him against him? Is he already planning something? He had to remain calm, showing fear could be what would bring him to an end.

"Well ... I have to make a call ..." He said as he returned to his room.

-Ok.

Shadow quickly returned to his room, went to his computer and called Tails. After a minute Sonic yawning, usually being the first to get up from that house, replied:

-Hello? Shad, what are you doing?

-Why didn't you tell me I could be with a mad scientist ?!

Sonic get's back in shock and returned to the computer screen.

-Well, first, he was your creator, and second, what are you talking about?

Shadow was starting to get pissed off and more nervous
