Wow, been awhile eh? Ah well you guys get a double update (but either aren't very long as well :/) I also changed my plan for the story because a) I wanted to get straight to the story and b) I lost parts of the story.

Now I'm doing reviews because iunno who I responded to.

Sheikah Ninja: If it's still confusing after these chapters, please mention this again so I can clarify.

ddtrunks77: Thanks, and sorry for the still-short chapters. Things will definitely going to be getting longer though now that the main story is starting.

Trolly's Bara-chan: Hehe! You will see!

Kimmy-1016: Shink toping, you mean a Sheik topping Link? (I realize that I do that far too often xD I will keep that in mind though, in fact I might even end up making it either/or)

Icy Sapphire15: Well, I have written it both ways. Sheik is the one with experience so he knows what to do so he doesn't hurt Link, or Link wants to just forget he's the hero and SUBMIT for once, or Sheik, living in recess and servitude his entire life just follows, Link topping because he is the hero...? There are many different ways for that to roll.

BunnSenpai: Haha xD I tend to, yes. I do agree with that being unable to decide. Both are just so delicious!

Thanks for the reviews all!

Sheik spent his time with Impaz (formerly know as Impa) as the darkness slowly encased all of Hyrule. Unlike many of the unfortunate Hylians (and other races) that Sheik had met in his attempts of journeying, the Sheikah survivors were the only ones that noticed things. The others did not notice the ethereal qualities of their bodies. (But the Sheikahs were not ethereal to their knowledge) They were the only ones who remained calm from the monsters that surrounded them – and perhaps were the only ones who noticed them. However, the others did notice the Sheikah, and often warned Sheik (seeing that Impaz tended to stay within the house) to find a place to hide. Sheik just ignored them. He was a warrior.

Impaz – the surviving Sheikah woman – suggested that Sheik should try to get out of the darkness. She said that she felt a stirring in the sacred realm. (Sheik was vaguely aware of her once-sage-status but most of his memory from the time that never occurred was misty, and that was not due to time) Perhaps a hero has arisen to fight the evil, she suggested, and that he should assist this hero.

There seemed to be a flaw in her plan, but Sheik knew better. He had a lyre and he had songs. The songs were taught to him in the time that never was, but those songs were the strongest memories of then. The notes, the rhythm, the melody seemed to be ingrained within his very soul.

He was instructed to go to the forest – the only place that was left untainted, and Sheik knew the song that he was to play. The Minuet of Forest. The song would take him to the old Forest Temple, and into the only place still lit by light. However, he first needed his lyre.

So he walked towards the old graveyard, and on his way there he moved to check the seal on Bongo Bongo. The monster may have been destroyed in the previous timeline, but in this one, the old Sheikah still thrived. Impaz had told him that long before the massacre, Bongo Bongo was once a Sheikah – one who tried to take over Hyrule, and the Sheikahs from before had prevented that and sealed him beneath the well. Impaz' mother was the one who sealed him, who passed her job onto Impaz. Now, it was Sheik's turn. Ensuring that Bongo Bongo slept through the new (and quite possibly old) darkness that threatened Hyrule, Sheik continued onto the graveyard.

When Kakariko Village was abandoned by the Hylians (and few humans), the graveyard remained unused. With the long life of a Sheikah, there was no need for it – not to mention all Sheikah were to be buried within the temple that housed them.

Impaz would soon have her proper burial, but Sheik would only simply be placed within his tomb. Sheikah magic was required for a proper burial, but all earthly possessions within a tomb would suffice. Since Sheik lived a life of danger, he stored all of his items in the tomb that would eventually be his. If a Sheikah was not buried properly, then there was a possibility that their soul – and quiet possibly flesh – would sway to undeath. So Sheik entered his own tomb before picking up his most prized possession – his lyre. He caressed the golden metal before running his hands along each of the strings. How he missed his instrument. Only once he reunited himself with the precious strings did he start the first song that he remembered teaching the old Hero of Time so many years ago – the Minuet of Forest. Sheik felt his body dissolving from the twilight and reforming to the sun's tinted rays.

Upon a look around, the already ruined Forest Temple had crumbled. The dead tree that had granted access to the doors was no longer there – most likely decomposed in the last two centuries. The only remnants of the stone stairs were scattered around the meadow and large pillars blocked the archway. Not a soul would enter the sleeping temple.

Now to find that budding hero….
