!Left Handed! Reader x Shadow

This story takes place around 200 years ago. When lefties were classified as witches and were burned. No other rules from back then apply though....

"Seize her!" Guards trampled towards me. I took no hesitation to run into the alleyway. I've been going from town to town trying to hide my dominant hand but recently, tests have gone out and everyone is being tested. Millions of my kind are being killed and I'm running out of places to hide.

"DO NOT LET HER GET AWAY AGAIN!" King Arthur demanded. Luckily for me his voice was only growing more faint and soon enough I could no longer hear his screams. Those poor knights...

I took this time to look around what I stumbled upon. I was in a forest, a huge one. It seems as though I've ran right into the middle of it, and I definitely did not know the way out.

My Aunt Maria would've been good at this but she was sadly killed a few years ago on my behalf. I was being too loud one night and the knights discovered me drawing in the kitchen, with my left hand. They seized my Aunt and she was the one who had taken the blame, they accused her of implanting me with her 'witchcraft' and she was hanged. Her lasts words to me were to find a red and black hedgehog. But I gave up on that a long time ago, it's been 4 years. Surely he was also dead or not what I thought.

Maria. I missed her so much. She was the mother figure I never had. My mother was killed right after I was born due to the King discovering her dominant hand and my father abandoned me when he discovered I was a lefty.

Now, here I am, alone in the woods on the run with no one by my side. My life was not worth the sacrifice.

"Where did the pest Y/N go?!" I heard a knight call out. I quickly ran to the nearest tree and climbed it. I learned to do this with my Aunt who had taught me a bunch of survival skills when we were together. Oh, Maria...if only you were here.

"King Arthur is going to have our heads!" The other one yelped. I was actually quite surprised to hear them use my name. Of course, me being a fugitive the knights knew everything about me, but they often just referred to me as a witch.

Suddenly, a shadowy figure came up from behind the two and punched them into a tree. I was in total shock. How the hell could one be so strong?! They dare to challenge the Kings finest knights?! I watched in awe as I saw the figure easily win the battle.

"WHERE IS SHE?" The figure grabbed one's chest platelets. His voice was deep and rich, it suited his mysterious look.

"Princess Diana? She's at the castle!" He trembled in fear.

"No, you imbeciles! WHERE IS Y/N?!" What?! Why would ANYONE be searching for me..? I contemplated whether or not to jump out from the tree but I was too scared. I learned not to trust anyone after a gang I thought I became friends with tried turning me in for money. I sighed, going back to observing to try and learn what this figure could possibly need from me.

"If we knew we would have captured her! Let us go back to our Majesty!" The knight begged. This mystery man let out a 'Hmph' and dropped the two. They scrambled to their feet and cowered away in fear. Just as I knew it, they had disappeared entirely.

"Am I hallucinating? I swore I sensed her presence..." the figure mumbled. How the hell are you able to do that?! I gulped. It's entirely possible that this thing could kill me before the King gets the chance.

As I started panicking, I felt the tree I was in begin to shake. I was caught off guard and fell from the branch I was sitting on, landing in the figures arms.
