1 Chapter 1
In the peaceful castle, down the Royal's room, Link and Zelda would happily look down at their 2-year-old baby. "Oh Link look! He's clapping his hands," said Zelda joyfully. Link was over at his cabinet getting dressed. He tied on his belt and peeked over at the baby. He awed, "Amazing." Then he sat next to Zelda and held onto her waist. "We're celebrating Tarkainius's birthday today love." She tilted her head. "Oh?" Link nodded. "Why, did you not know?" She shook her head cluelessly. Link laughed and stood up with her. "Well know you know." Zelda smiled and set her head lightly on his shoulder. "I feel a bit guilty about not knowing…" He let go of Zelda and walked to the door. "It's alright. The celebration is already getting started. Dress up our son and I'll meet you outside." She nodded. "Very well."
Deep in the desert, over at the lonely temple, Teamius walks inside and hides behind the doors. Then a massive sea of sand bursts into the temple. He flies in the air and looks for his buried thrown. With the force of wind, he slams into the sand and blows most of them out the temple. Then he looked at his thrown and sat down. At the entrance, a Lizafos would run in and cough out the dirt that went in his mouth. He would bow in front of Teamius and looked up. "S-sir, Link and Zelda a-are having a c-celebration for their t-two-year-old son, Prince Tarkainius." He glared at the Lizafos signing him to leave. The Lizafos ran out like a fast-forwarded tape. Teamius got up and walked outside.
"Alright, Tarkainius is all dressed up and ready. Isn't he so cute Link? He has my eyes and your hair. I'm sure he's going to become the most handsome Prince we ever had," said Zelda joyfully. Link walked up to Tarkainius and lifted up his chin. The baby made funny noises that made Link laugh, "Well, everything is all ready now. We just need our birthday boy. Everyone is there to see him." Zelda got up and walked outside.
In front of the castle, Zelda gazed at the beautiful site. Everything was ready and lots of people and races were there. Link saw Sheik talking to a Zora. King Zora was talking to Daruana. Some Gorons rolled themselves up like a ball so that kids can climb on them. The Gerudo's stayed from a far distance. The Kikiri came also. Link was surprised that they came at all. He went up to Saria and asked, "Saria, how did you come here? I thought that you can't leave the Forest." Saria said, "You think that you can just leave us there without enjoying ourselves? The Great Deku Sprout said that we are allowed to leave if we get something from him. You see these green medallions we're wearing? It's for us to live. When we come back to the Forest, they will disappear and we would have to get another one from the Great Deku Sprout." Link said, "Wow, interesting. Would you like to eat some fruits? We have a bunch of them on that table to your right." Saria nodded and told the other's to follow her.
(Spirit Temple) Teamius sat in his chair and began thinking again. 'Now that I it's time, I should take someone as my apprentice and raise him to be like me. But who's to be my pupil?' he thought. Teamius clapped twice and in came a Lizafos. "Sir?" it said. Teamius('s first words in the story) said, "Is their any infants in Hyrule?" The Lizafos said, "Sir, Link's son, Tarkainius, has his blood and would make a perfect son for you to train and keep as your own. He has the courage of Link and the wisdom of Zelda." Teamius smiled, "Alright, now tell me, is there any Sheikahs lefted in Hyrule? I've heard that there is a legendary Sheikah." "Yes Sir," said the Lizafos, "His name is Sheik. He's Zelda's guardian." Teamius made a sign for him to leave. He got up and walked outside. "Now's the time I should get to work," said Teamius. He disappeared from the desert. If you look closely at the sand, you would see Teamius leave tracks behind.
At the castle, Teamius hid behind the shadows. "Look at them, all so happy. But that'll change once I take over with my father," he said quietly. His eyes glowed red as he scanned the area. To his left, he saw Sheik standing in the shadows also. Sheik was looking down at Zelda. He turned his head and saw Teamius. He smiled and disappeared. Sheik gasped, "Who was that? I couldn't trace a step of it. But that's impossible. Only Sheikahs can go that fast. Unless it's another Sheikah." Sheik ran around without being sited from people. At a dark corner, he saw a figure coming out. Sheik gulps, "Teamius!" He smiles and throws him on the wall. Sheik, all unconscious, was carried away.
When Sheik woke up, he was at the Spirit Temple. He looked around and saw no one in sight. "How did I get here? Oh yeah, Teamius. Where is he? Well, if he's not going to show his face, I might as well leave." Sheik walked towards that door, but before he could reach it, he walked into a force field. He fell on the ground. "What the?" "Don't think that you'll be going anywhere Sheik," said a voice. Teamius came out of no where and said, "Glad to see me?" "Teamius," he growled, "What is it you want from me?" Teamius folds his arms and smirks. "I need someone who could work on my side. Or someone who can do my doings." "Why not take anyone else? Besides, how did you disappear so suddenly at the castle?" asked Sheik. Teamius said, "I've been working on that. My father instructed me. Took years to accomplish. But that does not concern me right now. Enough with the chit chat. It's time I took control of you." Sheik threw out a Telenut. But when he slammed it on the ground, he was still in the force field around him. Teamius laughs, "Don't think that you can use your pathetic cleverness to get away from me Sheik. I now all about that. Besides, there's no point running away from your fears." The force field around Sheik got small enough for him not to move. He grabbed Sheik's head. His hand electrified Sheik's head. Sheik was yelling in pain. A force in Sheik's mind was pulling out all of the memories in him. Teamius let go of his head and Sheik flew across the room and crashed against that wall.
"Now Sheik, it's time for you to get to work," said Teamius. Sheik got up and kneeled down to Teamius, "Yes Commander, what must I do?" Teamius said, "I want you to go back to the party and get Tarkainius." "At once, my lord," Sheik said quietly. He got up and threw a Telenut.
(Hyrule Castle) Zelda walked around to greet everyone. Some of the Kikiris held Tarkainius. "I'm not holding him at all! If he's Link's son, then I'm not touching it!" Mido groanes. Zelda set Tarkainius closer to Mido. Tarkainius's hands held Mido's nose and laughed. "Ahh! Get off me you baby!" Mido backed away and lefted. "I guess Mido's not that interested in babies," Saria said sadly, "Sorry about that Your highness." Zelda said, "Oh I don't mind really. But what I do mind is his attitude." Saria sighed and walked away to eat with the other Kikiris. Zelda walked past a table that had a dark figure under it. Zelda got suspicious and bend down to look under. When she lifted up the tablecloth, the dark figure was gone. "I thought I saw something?" she said to herself.
The dark figure followed Zelda wherever she went. Zelda felt uncomfortable about it and went to Link. "Link, I think something is following me around," she said. "Are you sure? Where's Sheik? Maybe he's following you." Zelda looked worried, "But Link, he would never follow me like that. Besides, I sense something bad is going to happen." "How can you be so sure?" said Link, "But just to be safe, stay close to me." Zelda spoke out loud, "Sheik, I demand to show yourself!" Some people stared. Link told them to mind their business. "Link, it's not Sheik. It feels…evil." Link took out his sword and shield. "Show yourself!" yelled Link.
Behind some crates came out Sheik. His eyes glowed red. "Sheik! Hey, how you doing? Just several hours ago, you were talking to a Zora. When Zelda called you, why didn't you show up?" Zelda gasped, "Link, that's not Sheik! It can't be, he's never looked like that before." Link stared at Sheik. Sheik's eyes were glowing and if you looked closely, it almost looked like his whole body was glowing also. "Link, he's not himself. Keep your ground," said Zelda. Sheik raised one of his hands towards them. "I'm not here to fight. I want that boy, Prince Tarkainius," he said. Zelda cried, "What for?" Sheik said, "Nothing you should now. My master will tell you one day." "Master?" Zelda asked, "I thought you were my guardian?" Sheik said, "The only master I've ever had in my life was Teamius." Sheik took out a nut and slammed it on the ground. A fog covered the place. Everyone gasped and chattered. Zelda looked around and bumped into some people. "Link! Where are you?" she yelled.
All of a sudden, Sheik got in front of her. Zelda screamed and backed away. "The boy Zelda, hand over the boy. My master wants him!" Sheik punched Zelda and grabbed Tarkainius. He took out a Telenut and slammed it on the ground. Everything flashed and turned back to normal. Some people looked around and spoke to one another. Zelda, on the ground, got up and began to cry. Link ran up to her saying, "Zelda, are you ok?" He picked her up and held her. Zelda set her hands on her stomach and said, "Link! Tarkainius has been taken away! Sheik took him! He said that he works for Teamius!" Zelda cried even more. "Wait here Zelda, I'm going to go after him." "But how will you know where he's at?" she asked. He said, "Teamius lived in the Spirit Temple remember?" He set Zelda down and played Requiem of Spirit. Zelda slowly walked around making sure everyone lefted.
When Link got to the Spirit Temple, he ran to the door. But before he could open it. Someone kicked across the ground. Link got up confused. He looked up and saw Sheik standing on a rock. "Where do you think your going? You can't get past through that door. It is forbidden," said Sheik. Link yelled, "My son is in there! And if you think that you can just steal my son, then your wrong!" Sheik said, "No need to yell, I'm not that far. Besides, by now, Teamius should've gotten Tarkainius up and training." "Training? For what? He's only a baby!" yelled Link. Sheik said, "Well that's too bad. I don't make the rules in this game Link." "What's going on?"
Link and Sheik looked at the Temple's door and saw Teamius. Link took out his sword and got a bolt of energy at Teamius. He slapped it out of the way. Link awed in surprise, "How did you do that! No ones never gotten past that!" Teamius laughed, "Now I can see how weak you are. That must be your swords strongest invasion besides from the Spin Attack." "How did you know?" asked Link. Teamius smiled and took out his sword. His sword had a red handle and a silver blade. He showed Link the bolt of energy shot. He aimed for a rock and shot it. The rock exploded everywhere. Link dodged each one that came to him. Teamius grunted, "Don't think that you can take me out now Link. I'm sparing your life so that you can work on your pathetic skills. Ha, some Hero of Time." Link's hand tightened from the anger in him. Teamius laughed, "Go home Link, you can't do anything here. Unless you want to fight with me then it'd be my pleasure." Link heard what he said and took out his shield. His gautlets flashed into the Golden Gautlets. He raised his shield towards the light. The shield shined really bright. When he looked at his shield, it was the Mirror Shield. His boots grew out wings (Hover Boots). His arrows fired out the Light arrow. "Haha, I see your getting ready. But it'll be no use Link." Link held his fist up and showed the back of his palms to Teamius. Out glowed the Triforce of Courage. Teamius laughed lowly. "Alright Teamius, just you and me, Sheik or no one else can interfere," said Link. Teamius nodded. Link jumped in the air and landed on a rock. Sheik watched the fight from above the Temple.
"It's foolish to fight me Link. You know that you won't win," said Teamius. "It's better to try to have never try at all," said Link. Link did a jump attack at Teamius with his sword. Teamius quickly got out of the way and stood still. Link slammed a Deku Nut on the ground, which slowed down Teamius. He took out his Light Arrow and shot Teamius. Teamius got back to focus and caught that arrow right in his hands. He threw the Light Arrow back to Link. Link gasped and jumped out of the way. "Now I think it's my turn to strike," said Teamius. He flew in the air and shot a huge fireball at Link. Link flashed into his Fire Resistance Tunic and used his Mirror Shield to deflect the attack. The Fireball shot back at Teamius. He also deflected it back to Link. Link deflected it back to Teamius. Teamius shot another Fireball with the other he threw at Link. The Fireball was too big for Link to run away from. He kneeled down and kept his shield up. The Fireball hit Link. But Link was able to keep it from hitting him. The Fireball pushed Link into the ground. Link threw it in the air where it exploded. "You were only lucky Link. I was just warming up. Now check out my Electric Ball," yelled Teamius. He raised his hand in the air and gathered up black energy. The ball formed Electricity. Link kept his sword and shield ready. When Teamius shot it, it got Link's shield and electrified Link. He yelled and fell to the ground. Teamius flew down and walked up to Link. "The victor, me. Now Link, I'm going to tell you this one more time. Leave, you can't possibly defeat me now." He held his hand in front of Link. His hand grew a ball of red. Link gasped and thought to himself, 'But I can't give up, I never do. I can't give up to this guy. But if I stay, he'll kill me. Navi is not even with me. She can't be here to heal me. I'll be dead by the time she finds me here.' "Well?" said Teamius impatiently. "Give me Tarkainius and I'll leave," he said weakly. Teamius laughed, "Then I'll take that as a no." Link's eyes widened. 'If I die, I'll leave Zelda with nothing left,' he thought. "Wait, I'll…go," he said quietly. Teamius chortled, "Good choice Link. Now, leave before I change my mind!" Link slowly got up. He held his sword and shield and started walking. Behind him, he could here Sheik and Teamius criticizing and laughing at him. Link looked down from the disappointment.
Back at the castle, Link found Zelda looking at Tarkainius's Crib. When she heard Link coming in, she looked up and stared at him. Link looked back at Zelda. "Link, our baby," said Zelda sadly. Link sighed and walked away. He went to the courtyard and sat down on the steps. Link hesitated for a long time and didn't go to sleep. Zelda watched him. She walked up to Link and sat besides him.
