Our story begins in the bustling town square of Hyrule's castle town market. There was a dispute involving a young boy and a band of Darknut guards. The young boy was yelling about how the guards did nothing but cause more pain to the residents of the town. The guards quickly grew tired of the young boy pestering them. The captain of the squadron strolled up from the back of the squadron and stood toe to toe with the boy. The imposing Darknut towered over the young boy. The guard reached out and seized the boy by the throat and lifted his into the air. All the boy could hear was the Darknuts gravelly voice. "So boy, you dare question our ability as guards." The Darknut slapped the boy across the face with his free hand.

"No I'm saying real guards don't exploit and harass the people they are suppose to protect." The boy managed to choke out. The Darknut again slapped the boy. The gauntlet left marks on the boy's face.

"I will not have insubordination from my quarry do you understand boy." The Darknut growled at the young boy again.

"What you are doing is wrong." The boy could barely speak now. The guard threw the boy to the ground. The boy hit the ground with a loud thud. The guards all gathered around the young boy. The all began kicking the boy. The boy tried his best to protect himself. The last thing he remembered was a Darknut trying to kick him in the head. Then all he heard was clashing steel and the sounds of pain.

The boy awoke in a small stone room. The boy glanced around the room. It was barren except for the ramshackle wooden door on the wall. He felt a pain shoot through his body. He heard a voice from the other side of the door. "Careful boy, you don't want to hurt yourself, those Darknut really did a number on you."

"Who are you." the boy asked mildly afraid.

"You have nothing to fear you are in the company of friends." The voice said. Then the door creaked open. Outside the door was an old looking man with long white hair. "You seem pretty well off for someone who was just assaulted in the streets." The man spoke again. Behind the man stood a young looking girl with red hair.

"Who are you?" The boy asked the two people standing at the door.

"Oh yes I forgot to introduce ourselves." The man let out a roaring laugh. "My name is Rauru, I am the sage for our little group." He motioned for the girl to stand in front of him. "And this is Malon, she is one of our newest recruits, she joined our cause after seeing how everyone is abused in Castle Town Market."

"But what is your cause?" The boy asked the old man.

"Our cause is one of justice and fairness at any cost, we wish to return the kingdom to the way it was before that man Ganondorf became king." The man suddenly seemed filled with sadness. "We still have no idea what happened to the Princess Zelda, she hasn't been seen since Ganondorf removed her from power, we can only assume she perished in the power struggle." The man seemed to be on the verge of tears. The man shook his head. "But I could not stand and watch as the guards assaulted you so I stepped in." The boy could see the man smile. "So I disposed of them." He smiled again.

"What do you mean by disposed of them?" The boy asked.

"Well I couldn't very let them get away with doing that could I." He spoke with sincerity in his voice.

"You killed them, am I right" The boy now knew what had happened.

"To put it bluntly yes i did, they had to be dealt with and i couldn't let them continue causing havoc." The old man spoke with convection. "Well let's get this topic focused back on you, my boy." The old man's voice was now back to being warm and friendly.

"I feel fine, but why am I here?" He asked the two people standing in the room.

The old man let out a laugh. "We couldn't very well leave you to bleed out in the streets, now could we." The old man laughed again. "We brought you to the only safe place in Castle Town, the sewer system." The old man smiled as he spoke the last part. "Malone here attended to your wounds, she quite skilled in medicine despite being a new recruit." The boy saw Malon blush when he said that.

"But why the sewers there wasn't any where else safe to take me?" The boy asked Rauru.

"Well not really boy, the town is always crawling with guards so this was the safest place."

"Isn't the sewers the last place to take an injured person." He told Rauru.

"Well you not in the sewers proper your in our infirmary." Rauru told the young boy.

"Wait what, what do you mean?" The boy was now confused.

"Perhaps it would be easier to show you, are you well enough to walk?" Rauru asked the boy.

"Yes I think so," the boy said while standing up.

"Don't worry boy I'll have Malon watching you the whole time." Malon again blushed, "relax Malon he won't try anything funny he's far too wounded." The boy was slightly spooked by this comment. Rauru handed the boy a cloak. "Would you mind putting on something before we take you around. They boy just realized that his shirt had be removed and bandages wrapped around his ribcage. He put the cloak on and followed Rauru out the door. The boy could hear the door shut behind him, glanced back to see Malon following behind him. As they made their way through the stone hallways Rauru explained everything. "We are an order dedicated to the protection of all hylians, we work from the shadows and strike quickly and quietly and vanish into the shadows.

"So you're the legendary assassins I alway hear the guards talking about." The boy interrupted Rauru explanation.

"If by legendary assassins you are referring to the Hylian Wolves then yes we are." He spoke with pride in his voice.

"Yeah every guard I listened to talked about a group of legendary assassins that could kill entire squads with no effort." The boy spoke.

"Well since you're such a huge fan how would you like to join our cause, become your own legendary assassin. Rauru said with a smile. "I can take you to the Den Master right away and she can look you over and decide what your fit for."

"It would be an honor Rauru." He said excited.

"You stood up to the guards so I think you have what we are looking for, I need to speak with the other sages Malon will take you to the Den Master from here." He motioned for Malon to take over the escort. "Introduce yourself, we are assassins not savages."

"Hello, my name is Malon and I'm the newest recruit I'm the one who helped you when you were injured." She blushed a little. "You must forgive her she was raised on a farm and never had much contact with boys of your caliber." The boy also blushed a little. "Now me and Malon are interested to know your name."

"My name is Link, I used to work for the royal family until Ganondorf took over and had me thrown out." He spoke with a hint of sadness in his voice.

"So you to have seen and felt Ganondorfs resentment personally, well I must really be going now best of luck to you Link." Rauru said as he departed down another tunnel. Malon stood in front of Link. "Well are we going or not the Den Master will be wanting to see you." She walks down the hall and motioned for him to keep up.

Link and Malon continued down the stone hallway. They finally arrived at the ornate doors. Malon turned to Link and spoke. "Alright Link, we are about to enter the chamber of the Den Master you are to be your best behaviour." She spoke sternly despite being the same timid girl he had seen.

"Alright Malon whatever you say." He said as Malon opened the door. Link entered the room and glanced around, it had pelts on the floor. He saw a slim figure standing near the fireplace. The figure turned around and spoke. "So this is the boy." Her voice was cold like ice. He felt someone behind him and ducked. "Good so you're not as dull as you look boy." The person behind him was wearing an outfit bearing the sheikah symbol.

"Wait are you a member of the Sheikah tribe?" The boy asked the person who was behind him.

"Yes we both are." The person by the fireplace spoke with her icy voice. She began to walk towards Link. Link could now make out some of the persons features. She was clearly a slim women, she was very athletic looking. Her outfit also bore the Sheikah emblem. She approached Link and started to look him over. Link felt like he was shrinking under her steely gaze. She continued to look him over, she grabbed his arm and squeezed.

"Well what do you think." The smaller person asked the women.

"I think he will do fine, he was a gardener I can tell by his arms." She told the other person.

"So boy tell us why you are interested in joining our cause." The older women questioned him. The younger person walked over to the older women. Link could now tell they were both women.

"Well I was beaten by some Darknuts after I tried to stand up to them, and I believe what Ganondorf is doing is wrong and want to help anyway I can." He spoke with determination. The two women proceeded to walk around him.

"Yes a noble cause but are prepared to do what we do." The younger women spoke with a cold, harsh voice.

"Yes are you prepared to do what it takes, and abandon any life you may have had." The older women also spoke with her frigid voice. Link swallowed hard as he thought.

"Yes, yes I am." He finally spoke after a brief pause.

"Well you seem determined, what do you think Sheik." The older women spoke to the younger women.

"He could make a decent addition and we are in need of more grunts anyway." The younger women said. Her voice chilled Link to the bone. They both grabbed Link. Link braced himself for the worst. The older woman smiled back.

"Well you're certainly very stalwart aren't you." The older woman said. "My name is Impa, and this," she motioned to the younger woman. "Is Sheik, she is my assistant."

"Was all this necessary." Link questioned the two women.

"Well not really but we need to scare off the undevoted someway." Impa spoke, the chill now gone from her voice. "So I see you have made friends with Malon and Rauru our resident sage."

"Impa doesn't that make him a liability, what if he goes turncoat and takes Malon with him." Sheik spoke the harsh chill still in her voice.

"If that were the case I would deal with him personally, but I don't foresee that being a problem." She told the younger sheikah women. "He seems trustable and he already said he was devoted, so I see nothing to be concerned about." She finished conversing with the younger woman and turned to Link. "Now boy are you prepared for your training." Link shook his head and pointed to his chest. "You think an injury like that is going to stop a Hylian Wolf, I expect you to be ready for training tomorrow." She spoke harshly to Link. "Now have Malon show you where the new recruits sleep, you're going to need the rest." Impa motioned for Sheik to escort him. The younger women grabbed his arm and pulled him towards the door. After they both had passed through the door Sheik shut the door behind her. Sheik grabbed Link by his collar.

"Now look, just because Impa likes you doesn't mean that you are free to do as you want." Her was still frigid and hostile. "Now I want you to stay and line and don't try anything funny or I will end you myself, do I make myself clear!" She released Link's collar.

"Yes crystal clear Sheik." He said returning the same frigidity that she had.

"You are to refer to me as mentor or superior do you understand." She spoke harshly.

"Yes, now if you don't mind I'm going to go find Malon so she can show me where to go." Link spoke flatly.

"No, I will show you where the rookies sleep." She spoke harshly again and seized Link's arm and pulled him down one of the side passages. She pulled him down the hall and as they neared a door a voice spoke.

"Ah, hello Sheik may I ask what you are doing with our new friend." Rauru spoke with the same calm and caring voice. "I would sure hope you are not hurting the boy, he has already been through a lot." He spoke directing his gaze at Sheik. She released his arm and scowled at Link.

"Of course not great Rauru I would never hurt a new recruit you know that." Sheik spoke and malice had vanished from her voice when she spoke to Rauru.

"Well I've heard stories about how hostile and cruel you can be to the new recruits you don't like." Rauru spoke his eyes firmly locked on Sheik.

"Well you need to be firm with them to keep them in line, now if you don't mind I was showing the rookie where he will be sleeping."

"Well I was looking for him, may I request for a private conference in my chambers." He voiced his request to Sheik.

"Fine you can take him, he was wasting my time anyway." The chill returned to her words. She released him and pushed him towards Rauru.

"Don't mind her Link, she can be a bit cold but when she warms up she will be a valuable ally." Rauru spoke watching her storm down the hallway. "Now come with me we have much to discuss." Rauru guided Link down some pathways and they arrived at another ornate looking doorway. "Well Link these are my chamber I want to formally welcome you." Rauru said with a smile. Rauru reached down and turned the knob. They both entered the room and Link glanced around. The room was very ornate a lavish. He had a few sofas and a fireplace.

"If this place is so safe and secret then what do you guys do with the smoke?" Link asked Rauru.

"Oh that's simple we vent the smoke through the stoves and ovens of the city above, that way the smoke doesn't look to obvious, pretty clever isn't boy." Rauru said with his same warm smile.

"Yeah, you guys really do think of everything don't you." Link said amazed by their cleverness. "But how do you guys get food and supplies?" He asked.

"Well boy, we are assassins no one know who we really are, so we just buy supplies like normal people." He said patting Link on the head. "And if we need to lay low Malon's father Talon provides us with goods." He chuckled surprised by Link's curiosity. "Now enough questions we need to discuss why I have brought you here." He told Link suddenly sounding serious. "There is something I need to explain to you that could tip the world's power balance." He spoke solemnly and sternly.

"What is it Rauru?" Link now desperately wanted to know.

"I'm sorry Link but I can tell you if you can prove yourself to the Guild." He spoke sadly, "But I can tell you some of it. "It goes like this...
