Link x Sheik, Boy x Boy.

Will contain fluff, but is mostly adventure. Although I don't know what is down the road, and they are such a good pair, so I don't know what I may have them do.

I won't put anymore annoying warnings since I assume people are reading from the beginning.


Sheik stood on the balcony, overlooking the clearing in the woods. The sun was still below the horizon, the land enveloped in twilight. The Sheikah could always sense magical disturbances, and that is what woke him this night. He sat down on the edge next to the ladder and waited for the sun to rise... it never did. When the expected time of dawn had passed, he looked around, wondering if the world had stopped. He could still hear the animals rustling out in the underbrush, confirming the fact that he wasn't frozen in time, as absurd as that sounded. He didn't know what else to make of it. He wanted to go out and investigate, perhaps check the village to see if it was still in fact there.

He went into the house that seemed to be carved out of a large stump. Climbing the ladder to his room, he thought it a good idea to get properly dressed. He heard the soft sounds of breathing, and looked down to see the other blond, still fast asleep. Link could be so lazy in the morning and loved to sleep in, and for all that he had been through, that is exactly what he should get to do. He leaned down, brushing back the bangs, and kissed his forehead. He would come back to wake him when he knew more of what was happening. He slipped his blue body suit on then pulled the tabard over his head. He smoothed back his hair as best he could, and tied it in the back so it hung like a thick rope. He put on his wrist bandages and concealed all his weapons in their proper places. He quietly crept back down the ladder and headed outside.

He passed the gate and headed down the south trail. When he reached the village, he saw no one. He skulked around the yards, as only the shadow people could. The people of Ordon Village were all still sleeping peacefully in their houses. The rooster had not crowed out to wake them yet, still perched upon the fence, waiting. There were a few cats roaming around, still hunting mice. He headed back home, deciding there was nothing to do here, and he didn't need to wake the people. He was just glad there was still life here.

As he came back into the clearing, he noticed that the horse had wandered off. He yelled to Link in the house, who after several minutes finally poked his head out the upstairs window, his hair sticking out every which way. Sheik looked up at the man, admiring his form, and gave him a smile. He always loved to look upon his slim but muscular body. The smooth, well toned chest chiseled to perfection. Link noticed that it wasn't quite morning yet, giving the other an evil glare for waking him at this ridiculous hour, and asked what was going on. Sheik explained what he had seen, and Link had been rather surprised. He had no clue and was curious as well. He ducked back inside to get dressed and Sheik told him to meet at the spring, wanting to check on the horse.

He went up the north trail to Ordon Spring, where he knew Epona would be. She was standing in the pool getting a drink, and as he entered she looked up at him, water dripping from her muzzle. While Sheik waited for Link, he heard a thunderous crash come from the north end of the Trail, spooking Epona. She bolted from the spring, running south, back toward the house. As Sheik went to follow, a giant boar came veering around the corner bursting into the spring. It was carrying two goblins swinging clubs. Sheik, who was backed against the rock wall by the shore, managed to jump out of the way and narrowly dodge the clubs. Another boar came roaring into the spring carrying an even larger, fatter goblin, it's beady eyes focused on it's prey. As the larger one charged at him the other two circled around from behind. Although Sheik was agile, the springs were confined and he had no where to go. As the smaller boar passed by, he managed to grab one of the goblins and throw it to the ground. The larger one came running at him again swinging a pole around. He slipped under it's slash and come up just in time to sidestep the other boar. While he focused on the moving targets, the downed goblin had gotten up and was sneaking up behind him. He felt the disturbance in the water as it neared but was too late. It smashed its club on the side of his head as he was turning around. As everything slowly blurred and darkened, the last thing he saw was Link riding Epona, charging fearlessly into the spring.

As Link rounded the corner, he saw Sheik crumple into the shallow water, his face barely breaking the surface. He slashed at the goblin on the ground, removing its head with his sword. The larger goblin charged at him with his pole outstretched, jousting Link off his horse. He was quick to rise as it came around for a second pass. But as he prepared his strike, it skidded to a stop in front of him, blowing into a horn. The concussion of air shuddered with magic, the sound making his head spin for a brief moment. The clouds above him darkened and swirled, forming a vortex of shimmering darkness. While he was transfixed and still a little dizzy, he was also smashed in the head by the smaller goblin. He started to fall, but instead of the thud of hitting the ground, he felt a sharp yank upwards as he blacked out. The goblin hefted him on to the boar, while the larger one snared Epona's reins. They headed back up the north path, bearing Link with the horse in tow.

Some time later, Sheik was woken up by the gently lapping water. The first thing he felt was the pounding in his head as his vision finally came back into focus. He saw the menacing vortex in the sky above him, crackling with pink streaks of light, where the sun should have been. Without the daylight, there was no way to tell how long he had been there. He slowly sat up and winced as his hand felt the lump on the back of his head, the warm blood trickling down his neck, swirling with the cool water. He removed one of the bandages from his wrist and wrapped it around his head. He was glad he decided to put them on, but cursed not wearing the one around his head. As he was doing this, he suddenly became aware of his lone presence. Not knowing where they had gone, he got up and quickly searched around for clues. He was a little relived, although not in a good way, to find the trail leading out of the spring, or else he would have thought they had been sucked up into the vortex.

He made his way out of the spring following the trail of cloven hoof marks. He also noticed the studded drag lines left by the horses U-shaped shoes, as it must have struggled hard. He made his way to the wooden bridge that spanned the deep, wide gorge. His heart leapt into his throat when he saw Link's green hat trampled in the dirt on the other side. He picked it up, clutching it to his chest. After pausing for a moment to collect himself, he looked up, noticing an eerie orange shadow casting itself upon the rock walls. The light got brighter, yet darker at the same time the further he went. As he rounded the bend, he was suddenly halted by a glowing black wall that loomed up ahead, completely blocking off the trail. It seeped across everything in both directions, like an impenetrable sheet of pure darkness. Lines of orange light were etched across its surface.

He approached the wall with apprehension, his Sheikah senses repelling him. But he knew he must cross it, he had to find Link. He felt the presence of another, darker, entity watching him. Suddenly, a black hand pierced through the darkness and wrapped around his neck. It was so sudden, he could not have avoided it. Its gangly arm held him firm, its corded muscles not budging as he pried at them. He dangled there for a moment, hearing a quiet snicker from the other side. Then, the Darkness of Twilight surrounded him as he was yanked through the shadowy veil.
