Prologue (Part 2) (Sheiks .)
I watched as Zelda disappeared into the portal, crying to be let out, as I stood there smiling at her trying to fill her with hope, but I all I could see was pain and fear in her eyes. And even though I had tried to mask my own, I could tell that what I saw in her eyes was a reflection of my own. Suddenly the throne rooms' doors burst open, and I whipped my head around to the look at the entrance. Vaati and a large troop of castle soldiers stormed in, and surrounded me. Luckily, Zelda had already left through the portal, and as Vaati approached me, the portals light evaporated and it sealed up.
My face was set and my lips in a thin straight line, as Vaati approached me in the center. He smirked victoriously. "Ah, Sheik, it's been a while, hasn't it?" He asked. I glowered at him, my eyes feeling like daggers. "How's your sister?' He questioned, smugly. " I don't suppose you told her the love of her life has arrived, have you? How do you think she'll feel when she finds out the truth?" I Snorted.
"Please Vaati. You're only after the triforce," I spat. He chuckled a bit and shrugged. He circled me, pacing around the circle of guards, his blue cape swaying slightly behind him. "Not necessarily. That's just an additional bonus. But," His eyes flashed dangerously when he stopped to look at me, wearing a grin of confidence. "It does pain me to have to kill my to-be-brother-in-law," I threw him I disgusted look and scoffed. "As if I'd actually allow you, to kill me," I said confidently. He smile just grew. "My, my. So much like I remember you. You siblings act so much like your father. I think he said the something close to the same thing as you did. That is, before I sent his spirit to the other realm," He replied, narrowing his eyes at me. Anger flashed through me and I could feel the mark on my right hand burn fiercely against the leather glove that concealed it. I felt hot saliva build up in my throat and I felt like choking it up. "You bastard," I hissed through my teeth. I was seething with anger, and underneath my cloak, I used my hand to feel for the familiar presence of swords hilt. After making sure it was there, I let go of it, for fear of making any hasty decisions of unsheathing it. I swallowed a mixture of grief and anger and willed myself to be calm.
"Now, now. Don't be too upset. You'll join him soon. But first, there's something I need from you," he gestured his hand to the guards and they began closing in on me. This was absolute madness. I needed to get of here quickly, but they left no openings. "Don't worry. I'll take of your sister for you," He added. Zelda. He wouldn't be able to find her. I'd sent her to my mentor, the wizard Agahnim, who would erase any signs of Zelda's portal. He would be able to train her magic better and she would stay with my friend Dimitri who was the crown prince in Terminia. There, Zelda would still be able to be a princess and hopefully, have a life there. Unfortunately, Hyrule would have to suffice with Vaati as a leader, until further notice. But I didn't think Vaati would do anything to drastic with Hyrule right now, so I didn't worry about that.
The guards seemed to notice me just standing there, so they took there time closing in on me. Vaati just watched like a complete moron, and I laughed inside. Goddesses, he looked like an idiot. With the little energy I had left, I turned invisible. Allowing no sound to be made as I ran through guards, I unsheathed my sword and knocked out whom I could and made for the door. As I ran out the doors, an infuriated Vaati gave chase, as did several confused guards. He cast a 'lens of truth' spell on the guards, and they could see me again, so I dropped the spell, immediately feeling the effects of the excess energy I've used this morning. Feeling heavy and no longer needing concealment, I abandoned the heavy cloak, and ran faster through the halls with my swords hilt in my right hand, once again feeling the familiar burn of power. As I ran, wind whipped through my short blond hair, drenched in sweat. Confusion and dread filled me when I stopped to turn around and saw no one behind me. Suddenly, a hand grasped around my throat from behind me. Vaati had warped in front of me, and grabbed me by the scruff of the neck. He had a viscous grin on his face. I thought, not for the first time this morning that, I may not be getting out of here alive.
Sorry, Zel.
