A Gerudo pair had traveled across the vast mass of desert for many days, even the one with the strongest memory was unable to remember the specific number. Yes, the boss was a male, one whom rarely came every once in a hundred years. But, he was young, barely fourteen. Though he rode in the front, his decisions were aided by his closest friend. His name was Sarore. Hers was Etimana. And their clan protected a secret. They had even disappeared for many years to keep it hidden.

But they had heard. Someone knew. And the person was ready to reveal it, spread it onto the lands of Hyrule like an evil plague. So that is why, that is why they had returned.

"Sarore... Shall we?" Etimana asked loudly, to be heard through the sandstorm that begun to let up. She pointed to the ancient establishment not far off from their sights, a building used to house the most cunning, the most evil. "It is not so far off. We can make it."

The young boy nodded.

----------

The building was dark and discomforting. Spiders hung from the walls, made with webs that were much bigger than needed. Then again, some of the insects were larger than needed as well. The duo traveled through the labyrinth, knowing of its every twist and turns. Then the boy's eyes widened and pointed to the side. "The wall- it's been broken."

He blinked, hoping that it was not reality. Indeed, the wall had been crushed and roughly demolished. Rubbled laid all across the ground like a child who had knocked over a tower of wooden blocks. He rubbed the debris with a look of anguish. "Does that mean... what that man said... was true?" he uttered.

Etimana hugged him close. "We do not know... till we enter." But she knew the answer.

The pair then began their travel through the broken wall. It started with a set of stairs than disappeared into the darkness. Etimana took a piece of wood and lit it as their torch. They were careful down the steps. No one had come down here... in a long time. When they finally reached the ends of their descent, the two were greeted with a hallway. The hallway ended with a door, and the door revealed a large almost empty room. Save for seven chests, once wrapped in a seemingly endless amount of bondage. Anything to keep what was inside in. But, they had been torn off... and the items were wide open, empty.

"No..." Etimana gasped and rushed to the chests. "The 'Seven Deadly Sins'... they've escaped."

"But... Whoever came in here... forgot this," Sarore stated, interrupting his friend's moment of concern. Or was it fear? Nonetheless, the boy had inched towards the walls and retrieved a small box hidden within the comforts of a second room. It could only by opened by a switch, covered entirely by sand. Indeed, the wall shifted with an awkward creep, haven't being used in decades, perhaps centuries. But, yes, the child took the box.

It was locked. Only a key could open it. And the young Gerudo leader had that needed item in a necklace wrapped about his neck. He held the item with one hand and took the key off with another. Etimana ran to him, shedding the torch's light above him to give him better sight.

And taking the end of the key, Sarore slipped it into its place. The innards clicked as he turned it. The box opened.

A spherical, pale blue light emerged from within. It hovered and shook violently. "Finally!" A fairy. She looked to the two Gerudos. "...Oh, wait. That means something's bad happened, huh?"

"Hope," the boy stated, "Hurry, find the person who can save us. The Sins... they've probably already started their move. You must hurry!"

"...You got it!" the fairy confirmed, and she darted up the stairs, out of the fortress, and into the desert. She would travel across it, to the lakes of Hyrule, to the fields, past the castle, above the trees. She'd travel far, to the Ordona Province, to a hero who herded sheeps and goats. Not that she specifically knew who. But there was something that told her to go that direction! She could feel it!
