Chapter 1
Tamesis looked over his shoulder at his friend. Tahira was falling behind. Tamesis stopped running and waited for her to catch up. Tamesis was young, but no one knew his age one of the elders thought about fourteen or fifteen. He was darker skinned, like the far southerners outside of Hyrule, but he was a Sheikah, and he was a runner. He had brown eyes that could make you lose yourself in them, dark hair and a strong upper body. He was also adept with the elemental magic. He was the perfect athletic and mentally gifted child. With no parents to be proud of him.
Tahira caught up and then Tamesis saw Tala running after them. Tahira was a light skinned Sheikah with the deep red hair and scarlet eyes. She was a well rounded athlete and adept at magic at fourteen years of age. Tala was like a wolf, savage, quick, but relied on others. To cover up for her bullying. She also had the classic Sheikah look, blond hair blue eyes, but her upper body was stronger than her lower instead of all around lithe.
"Oh great," Tahira said. "Tala's coming, who better to spoil my birthday." She said, her voice always sounded like she was about to sing.
"Well let's keep running; she's not a very good runner." Tamesis replied in his quiet voice. He was definitely going to be one of the Sheikah assassin disciples. The most elite Sheikah, adept in everything. "We can lose her at the Craags." They began running again but Tala called out to them.
"Some traveling entertainers have come, you parents want you back Tahira!" Tala called. "I'm not joking, come back!" they had reached the Craags and had started to climb.
"Tahira!" yelled a voice. "Tahira, come, there are some entertainers here!" Tamesis and Tahira looked back and saw Tahira's father Adish. "How many times do I have to tell you to take the path and not to climb?"
"Sorry father." Tahira said as she climbed down. Her father's frown softened, he may have had a fiery temper, but his daughter always could calm him down. Tala shot a venomous look at Tahira. Adish looked up, but could not see Tamesis. Neither could Tala or Tahira. "Where'd he go?" Tahira wondered.
Tamesis watched from a nearby tree until he could no longer contain it. He burst out laughing. He threw a small deku nut and ran back to the cave that was their tribes' home.
The leader of the wandering entertainers was a large man named Bolvek. He was quick to please and skilled in many musical instruments. Owning a great many more. He looked to be a Gerudo but he claimed he was a normal human, born in Kakariko. For the first part of the day they had acrobats and athletes show off their skills, each time Bolvek announced them and awed them with a few tricks. Finally, as the night meal was served to everyone, the entertainers began playing a multitude of strange songs. Tamesis was drawn to one instrument though, and soon found out that Tahira was also drawn to it.
Bolvek smiled at them as they inspected the strange instrument. "It's called a Lap Harp, and unlike most, this particular one has a twin." From one of the caravan wagons he produced the harp's twin, which was exactly the same except it was midnight black instead of the originals pure white. Bolvek gave Tahira the white one and Tamesis the black. Then, he pulled out a deku wood harp and tuned it. "This is called the Nocturne of Shadow" he said and he played an eerie melody. Tamesis and Tahira each played it at the exact same time, and each fell into a deep coma.
