Enter the Shadows is a fanfiction written by SilverCyberlink. It is his first major work, and the first work overall, to star his newest fan character Kurayami the Porcupine. This fanfiction is planned to be the opening of a trilogy of stories, although this is easily subject to change. Enter the Shadows will focus on establishing Kurayami's placement in the Sonic universe through different perspectives.

Prologue
The city slept, under the cover of the grey rain clouds above. The night had thrown its black cloak everywhere, seeping through every alley and window, consuming what was left of the withering daylight. A lamp flickered on, illuminating the street beneath where it stood. Every road felt empty and deserted, the residents that kept the city alive already asleep, although someone was still pacing around, a dark figure at the side of a blackened road. The shadows of his hooded coat hid his face, yet his gaze could still be felt in the air, focused on a solemn building standing on the other side. As he strode across the street, the sharp clap-clap sound of his boots disturbing the quiet of the rain, he began groping around in his pocket. He stopped for a moment, finally pulling out a damp, crumpled piece of paper. Once again, his keen eyes poured over it, observing the cryptic symbols scrawled messily onto it. Almost no sense could be made out of it. Shoving the paper back into his pocket, he carefully pulled open the smooth wooden door in front of him.

The figure found himself in the disused lobby of an old hotel. The tiled floor was streaked with years worth of grime, the metal staircase leading to the upper floors was quickly rusting and a musty, putrid stench wafted through the air.
