It is but a crime that I, a deceased being, should share my soul with a young woman.

We are two, but one.

She does not know that I peer into her soul. For I am the one buried within her. She breathes, she sings, she wanders all around.

That sweet lullaby she hums, I would like to sing it to her.

Her heavy sigh sticks to me, a single sigh - charismatic, lonely, beautiful.

Though you await your hero, Princess, I am here.

I am the hero that resides within you. Awaiting the day that our soul will become two.
That one day, I will bow to you, in honor and nobility - a sworn protector, your moonlight knight.

I will take your hand and kiss it softly. I will tell you that I have seen your all - your misfortunes, your burdens, your heavy destiny. I have seen your beauty, your selflessness, your sacrifice.

"Young love turns into deep affection.."

I must have said that to the hero long ago. I awaited his presence, in the freezing depths of the Zora domain. Your consciousness, buried within me. You were finally aware that I exist - for I had overcome your consciousness with my own.

It is a crime, that I should still exist though your journey is over.

It is a crime, for I was the last survivor.

It is a crime, that I know everything about you.

However, this is the last crime I will commit, my princess. I will enter your dreams and make what is yours your own once more. Bear witness to my soul.

...

Gazing out the small opening of the castle window, the Princess was suddenly stricken with an unbearable bout of drowsiness.

And when she awoke, the moon shone brightly in the dark sky of Hyrule.

When she awoke, she felt unbelievably alone.

"It seems.."

She spoke.

"It seems you have left me, Sheik.."

She gazed up at the bright moon with a desire to hum her lullaby, but another melody came out. A mysterious melody, the hymn of an enigmatic young man named Sheik.
