Link suddenly found himself back in the Temple of Time and no longer with the Sage of this temple. Nothing has changed in the temple in the 7 years he was gone. The light still shined from the ceiling and the light landed on the same strip of stairs that led up to where the Master Sword was held. The three Spiritual Stones were still in the case he'd placed them in.

Link looked down at himself again seeing that the only thing in here that changed was him. Now he was about 5 feet 10 inches tall. He took out his old sword and shield. Both items seem so much smaller now too difficult to use during battle. Link sighed realizing that his other weapons from when he was younger will be useless now too. At least now I won't need to worry about my shield catching on fire he thought and he could actually move his Hylian Shield.

"It looks like you won't be able to use some of your weapons you found when you were younger," Navi stated having flown out from under Link's hat without him noticing and was floating in front of him level with his head.

Link took a step back startled. "Gesh, Navi how many times do I have to remind you not to sneak up on me?" Link said a bit annoyed with his fairy companion. Link noticed his voice was deeper then when he was a kid not as high pitched. He wondered if Hyrule had changed as much as him or the Temple of Time. He hoped it hadn't changed much.

Link thought he heard the fairy giggle before saying, "Sorry." Then she turned to look at something that caught her eye in the room. Fairies were easily distracted, or at least Navi was.

Link rolled his eyes and turned towards the exit. "Come on, Navi, the world isn't going to save itself." He said a little sad. He didn't like all of the weight that was put on his shoulders and how easily everyone thought he was a hero. Although he may not have felt like one he'd try his best, he couldn't let everyone down.

Link turned to see if Navi was still distracted or if she went in his hat. But instead of seeing Navi he saw a boy whom looked to be about his age. He wore a strange outfit; a tight fitting blue and white suit. It had strange red symbol on his chest that almost looked like an eye that made Link nervous much like the boys actual eyes.

They were an even darker red then the symbol on his chest. They made him feel nervous under their gaze but Link wasn't quite sure why.

Link regained composure as the boy took a few steps closer to him. He was ready to strike if necessary. He looked like he'd be difficult to fight if Link had to. His head screamed at Link to do something, strike before he does, don't just wait for him to attack! But Link didn't move from where he was something stopped him from listening to his better judgment. Maybe because he wanted to know.

"Who are you?" Link asked and tried to hide his nervousness.

Sheik smiled to himself at the shock on the hero's face. He watched as the boy Link scanned his body seeming to be unsure what to think of him. Sheik quickly looked over the hero, he looked as old as himself which was 17. He wore a green tunic with a white under shirt and leggings that clung to his tone muscles. And his clear blue eyes danced with youthfulness you'd often seen in a child's eyes, they almost looked angelic. He definitely has the look of a hero Sheik thought.

He seemed to be an inch or two shorter than himself but Sheik couldn't quite tell being on the top of the platform while Link remained on the stairs. Sheik walked down about three steps before noticing Link tensed up making Sheik stay where he was. Wanting to see what he would do.

"Who are you?" he asked in an almost warning tone that sounded slightly scared Sheik thought.

He smiled try to seem friendly even if his lips were covered. "I am Sheik the last of the Sheikahs. I've come to help you."

Link seemed to become less tense for a moment and then hesitated as he was questioning if he was telling the truth to Link. Sheik sighed and pulled out his harp not even flinching as Link pulled his sword from his back. Sheik started to play the royal family's song.

Link let out a puff of air as he listened, like he was holding his breath. Sheik saw Link put his sword away and saw he was no longer tense. But when Sheik stopped playing he looked irritated.

"I could have killed you," Link said angrily. "You should have spoken up sooner."

Sheik raised an eyebrow in alarm but kept his cool. "I can handle myself," he said calmly. "Besides, I wanted to see how the Hero of Time would react."

"My name is Link." He said still sounding agitated. "You said you'd help me? How?" He asked as if just remembering.

"Information, you need to go to the Forest Temple," Sheik told him, "the sage is waiting inside I think you know her. But without the proper equipment you won't be able to enter, you must go to Kakariko Village first and find it."

Link felt his stomach drop, "Saria," Link whispered then nodded. "I understand." Link felt overwhelmed by all the information he had received in such as short amount of time from not only the sage but now Sheik.

"For now there's only one more thing I can do to help you." Sheik said taking out his harp again. This time he played a different song Link had never played before he didn't even recognize it. He took out his ocarina and joined in with Sheiks harp. The two extremely different interments' sounded perfect together. Link closed his eyes and got lost in the song all of his nervousness washing out of him as he played. His mind was only on Sheik and the song.

When the song ended Link opened his eye and looked at Sheik. He somehow looked different now to Link. Link noticed Sheik was extremely handsome. Both looked into the others eyes for a moment until Sheik spoke and broke their trance.

"That," He said softly, "is the Prelude of Light. It will allow you to transport here after you play it."

Link started to walk towards him but when Link got close to Sheik he threw something on the floor. It made a loud noise that sounded like a whip and blinding Link with a bright flash. Link rubbed his eyes ready to ask what that was for but when he looked at where Sheik stood Link saw that he was gone.

Navi popped out of his hat and looked around, "what was that?" She asked.

Link rolled his eyes realizing that Navi was asleep in his hat the whole time. "I'll tell you on the way." He said and began to walk to the exit Naiv quickly flew into Links hat again.

Sheik watched Link leave the room from the ledge of one of the stain glass windows. He left as though something was missing once he was sure Link had gone. Sheik didn't know what came over him or at least wished he didn't. He felt himself becoming attached to Link. The last people Sheik was ever close to where his fellow Sheikahs, and then they were all whipped out before his very eyes. He promised himself he wouldn't feel that way ever again.

He had to help Link for his people.
