It was pouring down rain when a young blonde boy arrived at the castle. The boy was in a green tunic, and dirt coloured boots. The drawbridge lowered almost too quickly. Out came a pure white horse, with a Sheikiah woman, and a young elven girl on the back of it. The young girl on horseback took a blue ocarina from her faded pink gown- which had the Triforce and her Family emblem on a piece of purple fabric that hung from it -and tossed it.
Link watched it fly into the water, and make a small splash. Quickly after the princess, as if it was timed, a dark man on horseback followed. His hair was fiery red, his face harsh and cruel. His clothes were dark, and he could see specks of sand in the plates of his armour. He was from the desert. Link couldn't put a finger on it, but he knew this man. This cynical man. Link glared.
The man stopped his horse. "You, boy," he snarled. "Another group passed on horseback, and you must tell me which way they went!" Link drew his sword and stepped back, making an obvious defensive move. The man laughed. A deep, cold laugh.
"Are you bold, or just stupid?" the man growled. He held out his hand, and a purple light formed in his palm, swirling and hissing manically. Finally, the power shot from his palm, and at the young boy. A gut wrenching scream came from the boy, as he shot back, and slammed against the cold, wet ground. The man gave that laugh once more. The heartless laugh, and galloped off, in pursuit of the princess.
Young Sheik rolled wearily onto his back, an odd squeaking noise coming to his ears. "Hrm, Zelda?" he murmured, giving a grumble. He peaked through one eye, to see a small, blue fairy, bouncing up and down on top of him. Confused, but knowing it as a fairy from the forest, he eyed it sleepily. "What is it?" he murmured.
"Link! Link!" cried the Fairy. "Really, how can the fate of the world depend on such a lazy boy? Get up Link!" Sheik eyed the fairy.
"I think you got the wrong house retarded fairy," he snapped. The fairy squeaked, obviously offended.
"I did not! You just want more sleep! Get up! The Great Deku Tree has summoned you!" Sheik sat up.
"Huh? The Deku Tree is all the way in the forest. I'm in Kakariko village. I'm not walking all the way there this early in the morning!"
"I swear to the goddesses, you've lost it," said the fairy. "It's right here! We're in Kokiri stupid!" Sheik laughed.
"I fell asleep in Kakariko, don't expect me to believe I slept walked or something," he told the fairy.
"Link, Kokiri can't even leave the forest... My name is Navi; I'd like you to come with me... We can talk some sense into the Deku Tree, you can't be the chosen," said Navi. "I said you're mistaken, I'm not Link!" said Sheik forcefully.
"Wait, are you saying I'm not in Kakariko?" Finally taking time to look at his surroundings, the young one found himself in a small wooden hut, that had very little furnishing. "You've got to be joking!" he bellowed, standing.
"You're going to make me go deaf," Navi said, irritated. "I need to go see Princess Zelda today!" Sheik hissed. "She'll be so mad!" Navi eyed Sheik.
"You're insane," she said. Sheik looked to the floor, and he saw his feet, which were covered in dirt brown leather boots.
"Huh?" he said, and looked at the rest of his outfit. "What is up with the green clothes?" He ignored Navi talking about putting him in some sort of asylum. He rushed over to a mirror, and stared, horrified.
"Dear god, I look like an idiot!" he shrieked, throwing his hands to his face. He took off his hat. "What the hell is up with this hat anyways?" he growled, throwing the hat carelessly onto the ground. "This is awful!"
"Alright psycho, let's go," Navi said, banging into his back to get his attention. "We'll get you some help!"
"I don't need help! I need my body! How could you do this to me you stupid goddesses," Sheik grumbled, hitting his head against the wall of the hut. The hut gave a shake. "Let's get the hell out of this hut before it collapses. It's so terribly built!"
The young Sheikiah left the home, only to be greeted by a green haired girl, running down the path. "Link! Link!" she called.
"Who is she?" Sheik asked, rather loudly. He climbed down the ladder, and walked to the girl. "I'm not Link," he said, and walked past her.
Navi sighed and looked to the girl. "You'll have to excuse him. I think he's criminally insane. I'm getting him help, don't worry," she told the girl.
"When he's fine... Tell him that Saria's looking for him, okay?" said the girl. Navi nodded, and rushed after Sheik.
"Damn it!" he screamed, getting odd glances. "If I had a rupee for every time something terrible happened to me!" He paced back and forth on the pathway. "Oh I promised Zelda I'd come help unload the milk shipment with Malon... What to do? Maybe if I help The Deku Tree, he'll let me free. Yes! That's it!" He turned to Navi, who had been following at his side, complaining. "Finally," Navi hissed. Sheik looked to the fairy. "Where is this Deku Tree?"
Navi groaned."Think of the place were you are never allowed to enter without being summoned?" she said. Sheik thought.
"The throne room... When the king needs to talk Zelda and I," he replied. Navi sighed.
"This way," she said, glided over water, with little islands in it, and hovered above an opening into a place that went along the trees. Sheik nodded. He walked to the islands.
"I do stuff like this all of the time," he told himself. He leaped to the first island, slightly unsteadily. And to the next. "This is easier than you'd think in this body!" he said cheerfully. Finally, he tried for the last island. His foot scraped against the dirt, and slipped into the cold pool of water. He kicked his legs, and sighed. "Dear Fayore," he muttered, and pulled himself up onto the grassy area. Navi was giggling away.
"You idiot!" she laughed. She took a satisfied sigh, as if he falling in the water had made her morning. He wrung out his blonde hair.
He walked to the entrance, only to find a red headed boy, standing with his arms crossed over his chest.
"Hey," Sheik said, trying to walk past him. The boy followed his steps. "So it's going to be like that?" Sheik sighed.
"Why would the Deku Tree summon you?" the boy snapped. "He had never even thought to summon the great Mido!" Sheik blinked softly toward the boy.
"Let me pass now," he ordered.
"Or what?" Mido taunted. "You'll 'hurt' me." Sheik gave a nod. Mido scoffed. Sheik, being true to his words, balled his hand into a fist, and struck Mido in the stomach, hard. Mido winced, and sank to the ground. "At least go get a sword and a shield. You aren't even close to a true man without them," Mido snarled, in a weak voice. Sheik rolled his eyes.
"Fine," he snapped in reply, and left. Sheik took out Link's wallet, and peered inside. Nothing. "How does he survive without money?!" Sheik growled. He shoved the wallet back in his tunic, and set off in search of money.
Hours past...
"Where do you find money in this place?" Sheik hollered, causing more people to stare. Navi sighed.
"Okay... You looked in the worst places..." Navi said.
Earlier...
"Are you sure?" Navi asked, and Sheik walked into on of the huts.
"Positive!" he replied. In the building, there were two beds, and logs, one of which a blonde girl was perched on.
"Hello Link," said the girl with a smile. Sheik grabbed the girls' throat.
"Give me all of your money!" he told her, as she clawed at his hand.
"Link!" Navi shrieked, obviously horrified. Sheik turned his head to face the fairy, who hovered behind him.
"She'll be more than willing to pay for my shield I'm sure!" he told the fairy, turning his head to face the girl once more. The girl kicked Sheik in the gut. Sheik let go of her, and collapsed to the ground.
"Leave me alone you freak!" the girl screeched, and left the house in a flash.
Present Time...
"Well... She had it coming!" Sheik said in defence. "How!?" Navi hollered. "You broke into her house and tried to take her money!" Sheik sighed.
"You could look at it that way," he said, in somewhat agreement. "But, how else did I go wrong, hmm?"
"Well..." Navi continued.
Also Earlier
"Are you sure we can make profit out of birds' eggs?" Navi asked. Sheik nodded, climbing his way up a tree.
"Positive, when have I been wrong?" he retorted.
"When you said the girl would-" Navi started.
"Okay, okay, I get it," Sheik snapped, as he reached for a couple of crows eggs. Hearing a faint cawing, Sheik looked around. A crow, an obviously ticked off crow, came soaring toward him.
"Gah!" he called, as the bird finally reached him.
Present Time
"And..."
Earlier Once More
"Please... Just earn your money by searching in bushes... Or something!" Navi groaned.
"No way!" Sheik scoffed. "That won't make me enough money!" He grinned to the girl, who stood up on a plat form that he got to by crossing bridges. This girl had two buns in her hair, and bright blue eyes.
"So... How about it? I'll swim one hundred laps around that pool of water, for fifty rupee's!" he told the girl.
She giggled, and nodded.
An Hour Later
Sheik climbed from the pool of water, drenched. "I-am-done," he panted. He fell onto his stomach, and looked around. "Hey... Where'd she go?"
Present Time
"Alright, alright, you can stop now!" Sheik growled.
"Just look in the bushes," Navi told him.
After a couple of minutes, Sheik found Link's wallet full on all sorts of money. "Wow! That was easy!" Sheik said.
"Yeah... After you tried to rob a girl, attempted at taking crow's eggs to sell them, and after being tricked into swimming laps around a pool!" Navi snapped.
"It wasn't all bad... I'll have a few bruises tomorrow, but hey," Sheik shrugged.
After buying the shield, they went in search of a sword. "Why would they be selling a shield and not a sword for Din's sake?" Sheik moaned. "Where the hell is this stupid sword!"
"Let's go to the training site... It could be there?" Navi suggested. Sheik scoffed.
"Sure," he said sarcastically. "Why would there be a sword at a training site?"
"Because... That's what people do at training sites? They use swords to, you know, train?" Navi said, a matter-of-factly.
"But... I don't use swords at training sights... Well, sometimes in Kakariko... I did once!" Sheik said, recalling only a year ago. It didn't go very well. In short, he accidentally stabbed a Cucco. He ended up getting fined one hundred rupee's for killing an animal that wasn't his. He wasn't exactly happy.
"Well, it's worth a shot," Sheik said, walking toward the training site. After arriving at the training site, the couple looked around.
"No sword," Navi sighed. A hole in the mountainside attracted Sheik's eye.
"Hey, there must be a sword in there!" Sheik pointed. Navi rolled her eyes.
"Sure... There'll be a sword in the side of a mountain," she retorted sarcastically. Sheik crawled to the other side of the small hole, and looked around. A Large boulder rolled around, changing directions at its own will, and squishing whatever was in its path. There was a solid line, the grass flattened out where it had treaded over many times.
"Maybe, if we follow this line, it'll lead to a sword!" Sheik stated happily.
"Sure, sure," Navi murmured, even more sarcastic than before. Sheik ran around the course, looking from side to side for some sort of sword.
Finally, he spotted a treasure chest... "Treasure!" he squealed, and rushed to the chest. "Oh my goodness! Treasure!" He sounded a lot like a little girl. He hugged the box.
"What is wrong with you?" Navi shrieked. "Open it!" Sheik let go of the box, and thrust it open. He looked inside, and pulled out its content.
"It's a knife..." Sheik said looking at the sword. It looked scarcely more than forty centimetres long.
"That is not a knife! That is the very valued Kokiri sword!" Navi sounded very offended, though, she was easily offended. Sheik blinked to Navi, as if she was insane.
"Nara-"
"Navi!" the fairy corrected offence still in her high-pitched voice.
"But," Sheik said, still looking at Navi as if she was the one who needed to be placed in an asylum. "It's not even half a meter long!"
Navi didn't seem very happy, but she couldn't disagree. "Let's just go show off to that Mido brat," said the fairy, in a huff.
"With pleasure," Sheik nodded, and they left toward the Deku Tree's field. The pair arrived at the entrance to the field. "Sword," Sheik said, holding up his 'knife' to shine in the light. "And Shield." He held up the flimsy piece of carved wood. Mido stared in disbelief.
"You got a Shield! And WHAT'S THAT! You have the Kokiri sword!?" Mido bellowed. Sheik nodded.
"I thought it was a knife... But, apparently it isn't," Sheik said, trailing off.
Suddenly, Sheik pointed the 'sword' to Mido's neck. "Okay... Bye," he said, and pasted the slightly frightened Mido.
"Link!? Why do you love to intimidate people...? Nearly choking a girl, and holding a boy at knife-Err, sword point!" Navi sighed. Sheik shrugged.
"It gets me what I want," Sheik replied.
"Do you want me to bring up the girl incident again?" Navi retorted.
"Let it go!" Sheik hollered. The two continued on, only to be ambushed by plant creatures. Sheik drew his knife... I mean sword, and started swinging it. After all three were dead, Sheik looked around, to find sticks lying in their place.
"Is that all we get? Three sticks! That'll be amazingly helpful," Sheik said sarcastically. He chucked them behind them.
"No no!" Navi screeched. "Sticks can be helpful!" Sheik stared at Navi. There was a silence.
"I can pick a stick up anywhere," Sheik muttered, and walked on.
