Allow my to introduce myself, i am Alaria, and i am a proud member of the sheikah tribe. My father, Xavier, is the elder. Although many of my fellow sheikah tend to discredit most of what he says because he is the youngest elder we have ever had. Most of our past elders have been at least sixty to seventy, but my father is only about forty years old. I myself am about twenty. Like most of our tribe, my father and I both have white hair and red eyes. My mother, when she was still alive, had brown hair and blue eyes. She was a rarity among the sheikah. The reason i started to write this journal was to keep track of events that are going on during this war. I don't want anyone to ever forget the atrocities caused by those evil witch sisters, Kotake and Koume. It started about six months ago, Father had gone to Hyrule Castle to let King Daphnus know that he would no longer be his protector since he had become elder. He said that Nathaniel, who was the father of my friend Impa, would take his place. Just as he was speaking to Daphnus, a young man came busting into the room. " Your highness! Lord Ganondorf requests your presence. He says it's urgent!" The young man wearily leaned against a nearby post. "Send him in then!" Daphnus said. The man nodded and went back out the door, and a few moments later a tall man with dark skin stepped in the room. His skin had a slight greenish tint to it, and his hair was a radiant orangish red. " Your highness, I am in desperate need of your assistance. Two witches have come from the desert in my valley and are wreaking havoc among our village, I am sure it won't be long before they attack Hyrule itself. There is one of fire and one of ice. I'm not sure how to stop them, we don't have enough soldiers to even stand a chance!" Ganondorf pleaded. HIs eyes filled with thought for a moment, "alright, i shall send some of my best men to assist you. And Xavier..."
"Yes my Lord?"
"I shall send some of our new recruits to Kakariko to train amongst your people, I can think of no better way for them to gain experience then to spar with a proud sheikah warrior."
"Yes my Lord." Father bowed to Daphnus and left, and that's what Father told me. At this very moment we have a few young men sleeping in our front room. Their ages range from sixteen to twenty five. There are quite a few of them in our village, at least seventy five. Most are just your average everyday new recruits, but there is one... one very skilled young man. He is about twenty years of age, and his has golden brown hair and blue eyes. His name is Lucian, and he has a strong heart and tremendous courage, because of this the other recruits kind of made him a leader of sorts amongst themselves. However I think this might have gone to his head because he disobeys every order given to him unless it came straight from my father. While it is nice that someone appreciates and respects my father, I still wish he would obey the other men as well. Oh well, as long as he can help Lord Ganondorf and King Daphnus.. it shouldn't matter. Back to the war... Lord Ganondorf has been fighting off the Witches with little success. They are closing in on Hyrule a little more each day. Hyrules forces are stationed at the edge of Gerudo Valley in case the sisters do manage to get through. There are some of our forces that are actually in the Valley though, and from what I have heard, its taking everything they have to hold them back. I wonder what made them suddenly attack though. no...they couldn't be after the royal family's treasure,... could they?..
