Legends tell of a hero that has saved the world many times. He's gone through time, through dimensions, and has saved many people's lives. He's gone through many journeys and he still had time to make a family for himself. That hero is my father, Link, the Hero of Time. My father has gone through all sorts of troubles, and here I amnow, baring his Triforce, standing in one of the statues hands above the entrance to the Spirit Temple in the middle of the Desert Colossus.
"Shink."
The sound of my name threw off my concentration, and I fell straight to the ground below. I knew I was in trouble now. Not only had I been distracted, I wasn't paying attention to my teacher, I wasn't concentrating like I was supposed to, I had just injured myself once again, and we had no potions left.
"Shink."
There was a slight sigh mixed in with my name that time.
"Yes, teacher?" I asked as I struggled to stand on my now injured ankle.
"What did I tell you to do?"
"Stand perfectly still and concentrate. A Sheikah must be steady, strong, silent, and must not move under any circumstances unless their target is in sight." I said as I stood as straight as I could.
"Good, now I want you to try again, climb back up."
I nodded and pulled out a Deku Nut, but I was stopped in mid-throw.
"I said climb."
I looked up at my teacher before nodding again and limping over to the wall. My ankle was killing me and I didn't really think I could climb back up to the spot I had been.
"A Sheikah must be steady, strong and silent… and must not let injuries stop them from fulfilling their training." The words kept rolling through my head as I looked up at the wall I was supposed to climb. "Steady, strong and silent… steady, strong, and silent…"
"Mother…I'm home…"
"Shink?"
