I awoke with the excitement of going to see the Hero of Time already settling over me. I fixed my appearance as quickly as possible before teleporting to the Sealed Temple, where Master had said the boy would be arriving. I teleported and settled myself atop the Temple in a way that allowed me a clear view of the grounds without giving away my location. Not that anyone is likely to be observant enough to notice my presence anyhow.
I was not put through the trouble of having to wait for an extended period of time, as no longer than an hour had passed before the Hero arrived. He'd fallen from the sky, landing before a statue that I knew to be an ancient beacon of sorts. My master had told me that such statues were put here for just this moment in time, to be used by the Hero as a guide. But never mind all that. I took now to observing the boy, looking over his entire body to analyze just who I'd be dealing with. To be honest, I really did not see the threat. He seemed ordinary, plain even. He was clad in brown boots, tan pants, some form of belt that possessed numerous pouches for storage of items, a long sleeved white undershirt over which he wore chain-mail armor, and a green tunic. He wore brown gloves, and long green hat. He had dirty blonde hair and sea blue eyes. His body was not scrawny, though not thickly muscled either. Although he was, in fact, very attractive, the boy was overall unremarkable. Despite all of this, I knew that he would be a formidable enemy, if only for the sword which he carried in a sheath over his back. I knew this sword to be the sword created by the Goddess for use by none other than the boy that stood before me. The sword that was created to defeat my master when the time came. My opposite. Because of that sword, it would be necessary to keep an eye on the boy. To monitor his progress in swordsmanship, his defenses, and his physical ability. I would need to know his strengths and his weaknesses if I hoped to defeat him in battle.
I sat down, bringing one of my legs close to my chest. I propped my elbow atop it, and rested my head in my hand. I watched him as he curiously took in his surrounding, his blue eyes looking wide with fascination. I wondered briefly at how different this world was to the boy's home. But even if it were so vastly different as to no longer resemble the hero's home, he showed no sign of intimidation. He proceeded to walk forward, making quick work of the two Deku Babas that blocked his path. I raised my eyebrows, mildly impressed. Though they were not a difficult enemy, I was still surprised at how quickly the boy had disposed of them. Perhaps he would not be a disappointment after all. He seemed to have no difficulty wielding his sword, his movements were fluid, and he seemed to hold no trepidation for taking a life if the circumstances called for him to do so. I admired that. He continued on his way, finally walking up to the doors of the Temple. He paused at the edge of the cliff, seeing something that I could not. Whatever it was, he seemed to fear it, drawing his sword in preparation to fight. It took only a few seconds for him to break out of his stupor and for the spike at the bottom of the pit to start oozing black smoke. I knew this to be my master's current, imprisoned form. The boy jumped down to investigate further. As he drew near, his sword lit up a bright blue, a signal that the spirit within the sword was communicating with the hero. Soon after it ceased, he lifted the blade to the sky until it was engulfed in a white light. At that moment, the boy slashed at the spike, calming the smoke and temporarily resealing my master's confines. Now this was something impressive to me. My master was not easily dealt with in any form, and so finding that the boy had knowledge in how to silence him, even for a moment, was astonishing. I watched silently as he continued to enter the Temple. I wouldn't follow to witness his encounter there. My exposure at such a time would disadvantage me. So I waited on the other side of the roof, where the Temple exited to Faron Woods, to await him.
Once he finally exited, I followed and observed him for some time. He seemed to be quite intelligent, dealing with various problems quickly and efficiently. I would have to keep all of these things in mind and train myself even further to be better equipped for battle with the talented teen. Not to say that I am concerned about the outcome of a battle between the two of us. My power is still far superior to that of the Sky Child's.
I continued to observe him for some time, until he came across the small forest dwelling creatures known as the Kikwi. They were neither flora nor fauna, but a strange combination of the two. They were oddly shaped, small in stature, and possessed a patch of grass growing from their backs. They were mostly brown and tan in color, save for the plants on their backs, and the white color of their tiny, shoulderless arms. They also had small beak-like mouths. I hadn't the slightest idea as to what the purpose of these creatures were, and I found them merely to be cumbersome. They had no concept of bravery, always cowering in the brush, skittering away from the slightest noise. They only agitated me. But the boy seemed to view them differently. He spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to catch up to one of the little creatures. Once he'd caught it, he seemed only to be concerned for it and chose to help it by going to its Elder. I had no interest in staying to watch this endeavor and was prepared to leave when I heard the Elder speak of the spirit maiden. Finally, something of use to me. But the oversized Kikwi selfishly withheld information until the boy tracked down the others. I reluctantly followed the boy while he found the three wretched things that remained. It took him a much longer period of time than was necessary. The boy was continually getting lost, even with the help of his blasted Goddess Sword. By the time the final creature was located, I was quite exasperated. But no matter. I would soon be rewarded for my efforts. I took up a hiding spot in the great tree and listened as the Elder gave the location of the spirit maiden.
I grinned widely, pleased to hear that the girl had headed for Skyview Temple. Upon hearing this, the boy wasted no time in taking off in the direction of the viewing platform, behind which was the temple. The Kikwi stopped him momentarily to reward him for his efforts. I smirked as I watched him speed up to the entrance of the temple. With a chuckle, I snapped my fingers and teleported myself into the temple.
Once inside, I summoned an array of monsters. An unruly group of Bokoblins clamored around my feet, awaiting instructions. Angrily, I shoved the creatures away from myself.
"Stop! Vile imbeciles! How many times must I tell you to let me alone?" I seethed. I took a deep breath and collected myself before proceeding. "I have a job for you. Lock up the temple and distract the boy. I require time."
The stupid animals nodded and went to work. I sighed before teleporting myself to the final room of the temple where I would await the boys arrival.
