When Link had gone back to Kakariko Village he saw that the construction was finished and there were people in the village now that Link didn't recognize. He didn't really know where to start looking for this item Sheik had mentioned. He was so distracted he forgot to ask Sheik what he was even looking for.

Link searched the village until dark, with no luck. He looked discouragingly at the clock. It was about the time when Dampe came out of his shack to walk the graveyard with his shovel. Him and Link dug up a ton of things when he was younger, maybe they could dig up the item. Link smiled and started towards the graveyard.

Sheik stealthily made his way to the Forest Temple entrance, after leaving the temple of time. He could have made it there in no time flat but he didn't see any point in rushing there. Link was headed in the other direction to Kakariko Village, not knowing what he even needed. Sheik guessed he had a full day and a half before he needed to be at the forest temple, if not longer. As he traveled though Hyrule Fields his memories burned in the back of his mind. He tried to push them away but couldn't fight them off. The memories formed in his head as if they were just the other day.

All the Sheikahs moved from the castle when Zelda's vision came true. When she met the fairy boy. Truly at the time Sheik didn't know why this was important but Impa ordered them to leave and that was enough for him.

After about three months of traveling away from Hyrule Castle they set up their hidden campsite. Once the Sheikah Impa had put in charge deemed it safe were they all informed on what happened and what was going to happen. He remembered as all the Sheikah gathered around their temporary leader. They all listened as they were told of Princess Zelda's vision. How and evil was rising in Hyrule and soon Impa and Zelda would be forced to join them. The hero whom will save Hyrule will appear in the Temple of Time about seven years from then. And the Sheikah would teach him the songs of the Temples and also provide information that would be vital to his success.

It wasn't long after that Impa and Princess Zelda came. Sheik was happy they were safe. After that, the days of his life changed rapidly. He went from controlled training to the real thing, real danger. The harsh training he went though as a kid made him ready for the challenges they faced.

Sheik started to help with patrols when he turned 12. Then when he was 15 he did solo patrols, he even did some 24 hour ones. Playing the songs of the temples was Sheiks only time to relax.

As Sheik got older he started to wonder who the hero was, what he was like. They didn't know anything about the hero and no one seemed to really care. Sheik never understood that. He knew that Sheikah had to control their emotions and feeling in line so they didn't get in the way of orders or missions. But shouldn't they want to know more about the person whom everyone's lives deepened on? He asked the Princess about the boy a few times.

She had told Sheik of his green tunic and his fairy that always seemed to be at his side. That he had to have lived in the forest with the fabled Kokiri, they were said to be the only ones with fairy companions. But even as Zelda told him this she looked puzzled at her own statement. Sheik asked what troubled her. She told him that when she saw him in the temple he was and looked like a seventeen year old boy. Sheik raised his eyebrow at this, not seeing what was so puzzling about the boy aging. Zelda continued explaining how in the stories that told of the Kokiri always stated that they never aged. They were kids forever. He remembered suggesting that maybe he was just special. The Princess giggled at his suggestion- probably because it wasn't very logical, to her anyway- and said it was probably something they'd never find out. He thanked her before going to bed that night and fell asleep thinking about the hero.

The last two years went by fast, and at first seemed just like all the other years before hand. But one day, when Sheik was not yet seventeen, Ganondorf and his men attacked the camp from the west while Sheik was headed back to end his patrol of the north.

Sheik jumped from limb to limb on trees but stopped a few yards away from the camp. There was smoke and the smell of brunt bodies. Sheik carefully got closer to see what had happened. He saw Ganondorf's men piling dead bodies and burning them the only person he saw felt standing was Princess Zelda, she was chained prisoner.

Sheik had felt as if he were going to be sick as he turned away to head for the Temple of Time. But they all knew what they had to do. Put the needs of the mission before anything else. If anyone had gotten away they would meet him there. When the hero appeared in the temple Sheik was seventeen.

Sheik had hidden in a pine tree to rest for the night. He rested upon a large branch with his back leaning against the trees trunk. The Sheikah was just outside of the Forest Temple now. He could see the clearing with the platform below that laid right in front of the broken steps that lead to the entrance of the temple. But the remaining steps were too high to reach, making them useless. Sheiks mind wondered wondering what the mysterious item Link would need to reach the landing. It probably would have helped the hero if Sheik was told what the item, that Link has to have, actually was, but something were simply unknown. Zeldas visions were often vague. Sheik shrugged, if anyone was up to the task it was Link and the Sheikah was confident in that.

Sheik showly drifted off to sleep, by morning, he though, Link would be there.

Link was still saddened by his new knowledge of Dampes death as he quickly headed to the Forest Temple with his new toy, the Hookshot. Although dead, Link was glad to see the graves keepers' joy even in death, as he helped Link find his new item.

While going through his old village the boys and girls Link had grown up with all those years ago were exactly the same as Link remembered them. Seven years had gone by and none of them had grown like himself. The boys' head filled with questions but he forced them from his mind, for now he knew he had to ignore them. There wasn't time for questions, if Link was right about Sheiks warning, then Saria was inside the Forest Temple. Link wasn't quite sure exactly what a Sage did yet, but surely the Forest Temple wasn't a safe place to be right now; Sage or not.

Sheik woke at the sound of a huge thud that made the ground shake slightly. Sheik rubs his head from the sudden awakening from his sleep and the jumped down from the tree realizing that Link was probably in trouble. Sheik started quickly for the stairs but as he reached them he was stopped.

Well not exactly stopped but more like toppled by the hero he was just going to help. Sheik looked up at the startled hero above him, his face was a light pink while his knees straddled the Sheikahs legs and his hands, beside his head, were holding him a few inches above Sheiks body.

Sheik smiled to himself, he couldn't have looked any less than a hero at that moment but even so Sheik felt his own face warm under the clear blue gaze of Link's startled eyes.

Sheik chuckled, "It's nice to see you too." He said finally breaking the seemingly endless silence.

Link seemed to reflectively jump up as if just realizing he'd been on top of the Sheik. "I'm so sorry about that," he said offering his hand to help Sheik up, "are you alright?" Sheik accepted his hand and nodded as he stood then stretched, fully awakened by the young hero. "Why are you here?" Link said sounding a bit confused.

Sheik sighed at the heros seemingly short memory, but still couldn't help but smile in his presence. He made the Sheikah feel strangely claim. "To help," he reminded Link.

"Why? How do you know you can trust me?" Link said sounding unlike a hero but like a child.

Sheik couldn't help but chuckle at his silly question. Even if it wasn't for Zeldas vision and meeting of the hero anyone with eyes could see that he was a hero. He look much like a hero, or so Sheik though. And his personality, even if childlike, it was what made him pure. Sheik couldn't think of a better hero to save the world. "How do you know you can trust me?" Sheik countered him with a sly smile on his lips.

The boy seemed to consider it for less than a moment before informing him of his conclusion. "I suppose I just do," he said with a shrug and honesty in his voice. Sheik was taken aback by this, the hero seemingly notice as a grin came to his face. He continued trying to pretend as if not noticing, "I would like to know more about you though, if that's alright?"

Sheik was prepared to be demanded answers, of himself and the Sheikahs, but not.. this. This took him off guard. Not only did he somehow have Links trust but he wanted to know about Sheik himself. As a child Sheik was trained and taught to obey orders and that feeling and opinions got in the way. This made the Sheikahs seemingly unfriendly, even to each other. Sheik never understood it but never spoke against it. He kept control keeping his thoughts to himself but he couldn't make himself into a drown like some of the other Sheikahs appeared to be. Eventually he assumed that no one cared of his thoughts, maybe even only cared for his service as a Sheikah. Even Zelda didn't care to get to know him over the seven years.

But around Link he felt as though it were impossible to control anything he did. Honestly he didn't want to hold anything back from Link. "Alright," Sheik said finally regaining his cool composure. "You have to tell me about yourself as well, hero." He smiled to himself as he noticed the tips of the boys ears turn red.

They sat at the base of the tree Sheik had fallen asleep in the previous night. He told Link everything he could remember about himself. His earliest memory was when he was enlisted into the Sheikah order at five years old. He didn't remember his life before, not even his family; but it didn't seem to matter much because the Sheikahs became his family. Although none were what most people would call 'friendly' they had each other's backs, and although none ever spoke it they all cared for one another. Being the leader of Sheikahs, Impa, took the motherly roll of their family, at least in Sheiks eyes. Impa openly cared for the safety of every Sheikah and tried her hardest to keep them all safe. He continued telling his memories that were still fresh in his mind. Of fleeing Hyrule, the endless days hiding and then seeing the camp and all he had ever come to care for burn in flames at the hands of Ganondorf. Throughout Sheiks whole telling Link sat looking up at the sky or pulling the grass on the ground. Sheik had almost though the boy had zoned off on him but whenever he paused for more than an moment Link would look at him questioningly the pure blue eyes ask asking softly why he had stop, and would continue on.

Sheik finally finished simply with, "Then I met you." He saw a small smile spread across the heros lips before turning his gaze toward Sheik, looking into his eyes. It always took Sheik by surprise, the way Link gazed so easily, so willingly into his eyes. Most people often turned away from Sheiks eyes, frightened by their mysterious color but not him. He liked the jolt it sent through his whole body when those blue eyes were locked on his own.

Sheik suddenly noticed it was twilight and would soon be night. He stood, "I'll expect for your story as well hero, after you're finished with the temple." He said gesturing to the landing above that led to the entrance of the Forest Temple. Link jumped up as he spoke as if just realizing the time as well, and started to turn away. Sheik quickly reached for Link's wrist to stop him, Link instantly turned at his touch. After a moment Sheik then pulled out his harp and started to play, watching as Link pulled out his ocarina and joined in right along.

Like before it felt as though he were just hearing the song for the first time, as if before he was just hearing a his part of it. Link and his ocarina made the song sound complete. He watched as Link opened his eyes, his expression showed to Sheik that he'd never heard anything like it before as well. "The Minuet if Forest will bring you back here. And I'll expect you'll be using it, seeing as I'll be waiting here for you." Sheik told him with a smile.

A childish grin spread across Link's face as he nodded and took a few more quick steps before taking something out and using it to pull himself up and get on the landing. He then hurried through the tunnel. So that was what he needed Sheik thought to himself.

Review and tell me what'ch think, any suggestions, corrections, ect. I've been getting a good amount of views on the story its just no ones reviewing. I guess I'll just take that as you like what I'm doing so far but I can't be sure if you don't review; I'd love to hear from you! :)

I may make corrections or little edits to this but didn't want to make you wait any longer for it. Next chapter might be a bit shorter (if so it'll be out faster), if not it'll just take me a bit more time. I don't know for sure either way but I suppose you'll just have to wait and see ;)
