"How did you know where to find me?" Was the only thought the young boy had, as he was forced onto a wall, as his pursuer slowly got near him, he had already devised an escape plan, but the very former leader of the sheikah would have the means to intercept him at anything he, such an inexperienced boy prepared.

-I can read your thoughts...Sheik. And I know everything about this land, for I, even after being banished, am still a Sheikah. If interests you that much, I used the thousand eyes, the gatherer of information throughout Hyrule, the gossip stones. - Approached a tall man, with a ambition declared on his eyes that could match the one of a king.

-You'll never have me, you betrayed our race. If was under you that he worked, that he killed all those people. You are the one to blame.

-He was simply the means to an end. And yet, he was caught, and executed, and his spirit of vengeance and madness was forever spellbound to that accursed well. I was banished, and never returned, until now. But now is the time, the triforce has been reached and we must not allow the shadow of demise to conquer all of the living land. I'm not here because so I desire, but it still is my task.

-I won't serve under you, not anymore. No one will.

-I don't have anyone to serve under me, alas; you're really the only survivor to the Sheikah. I'm asking you, and I'll teach everything you need to know. You are precious kid, and I'll do anything at my reach to prevent you from dying. And together we shall once again rise with the glory of the sheikah.

-...I can also read your thoughts. Not all of them. But I know you'll kill me if I don't accept. So I've got nothing left, I'll train under you, but I won't serve you. - The boy gave up all of his hopes from escaping.

Sheik could feel an ominous presence within that shadow warrior.

The time passed as they traveled together, back to Hyrule.

-If you don't mind me asking...Where have you been? It came to my knowledge that the remaining Sheikah were hiding trough the corners of Hyrule, but you were banished to even beyond that. Where was it?

-Termina.

-And that is...?

-Another land, far away from this one, all the banished Sheikah established themselves at Ikana, a cursed land. They then served under a realm that wished to conquer Ikana. As spies. They came to be known as Garos, and I was their leader. The war ended and all of them died, even our employers. So I gathered all the knowledge I could, and made my way to Hyrule. Only to know that our stupid Royal Family had been responsible by the fall of the Triforce on the hands of Ganondorf. No matter how strong he was, I could have defeated him myself. Well, it matters not, my desire now is to set things right, so the Sheikah can once again be free on this land of Hyrule, and rise with an unstoppable force.

-If you say so...

-The hideout of Kakariko still exists?

-It does, but the only entrance to it maybe as well be the windmill, by now.

-I see. I have something I must retrieve from there.

And they continued their journey, and quickly, out of the sight of any eye, they got to their hideout, where Dampé, the gravekeeper had not been buried yet.

-None must learn of this passage, Sheik, make sure of it. - The man stopped and sighed - So many memories, why did we have to disappear? He grabbed a sword that was lying on a desk, it was his sword. The sword of the captain.

-You knew that our clan couldn't survive without a captain, and yet you made your choice, you commited crimes against Hyrule, against the Sheikah. That was the reason we disappeared. And for that reason alone. You're the one to blame.

-Perhaps, but now is not the time for this. Today, you shall learn how to fabricate poisons and how to dodge multiple swords at once. - A smile took shape on the man's face, exposed by his mask of truth as he sheathed the sword that once belonged to him.

-As you wish.

Sheik found out, a tad too late that his decoy spell was not as successful as he thought. He soon noticed the wound in his torso.

He said to Link that he should proceed and quickly vanished to the surface.

-Damn, I'm starting to feel the blood loss, is this how I shall die? Where the heck is Za- -Sheik coughed blood and soon began to lose its consciousness.

-You're but a fly without me. Aren't you? You was also a mean to an end, and you're not my problem anymore. Zant walked by Sheik's unconscious body, and left him for death. -All of Hyrule is but means to a true end, with me even above the goddesses.

Furthermore, Sheik found himself healed on the arms of Impa.

-I have something I have to ask of you, no need to thank me now, but go to Kakariko as soon as possible.

Having said that, Impa, mounted her white horse and rode to Kakariko.

Sheik them moved to the Medallion platform to wait for the hero to emerge.

-Defeated. Trapped. Perhaps I have nothing to do except accept my fate. But I'll not, I shall not. - Dark Link rambled in his prison-universe.

-How do you intend to escape...without help? - He heard an exquisite voice.

-I'm falling into madness already...or...is someone here?

-If you are willing to do so, take hold of your sword and crave it on the ground.

Dark Link did what the voice asked, to be greeted with a diamondly shape formed on the floor that made his sword to become dust, this dust then took the form of a humanoid being.

-Thank you for freeing me, in return, I shall offer you my assistance and release you from this undelightful imprisonment. - The flamboyant demon said.

-And you are?

-Oh, I apologize, I was positively uncivil. Most certainly you should have heard of me. I'm the demon lord who once presided over the land now called Hyrule, bound by fate to be on your sword during a meaningless existence. You may call me Ghirahim. Actually, I very much prefer to be indulged by my full title, Lord Ghirahim. But still, I'm not even a Demon Lord currently. I must regain my freedom.

-And you are capable of freeing us both?

-Oh, foolish shadow, I could do much more, if your sword were complete. But apparently, just with my efforts to be complete again, misfortune, with his cruel sense of humor caused this. I got split into two halves; you are not capable of imagining what real power I possess, which is actually very unpleasant.

Ghirahim then snapped his fingers and the mirror dimension started to fall apart into flashing golden diamonds and both appeared high above Hyrule into a floating magical platform.

-We must linger here for a bit. I'll have you to recruit demons for me. I'll try to regain some of my strength from all blood and hatred caused during the current events.

-Am I supposed to go without a sword... Master?

Ghirahim snapped his fingers and materialized his saber-like sword.

-Take this, it will serve our purpose. - Said the Demon Lord with an evil smirk.

Dark Link quickly jumped from the platform and disappeared from sight.

The shadow fiend walked into Kakariko village, hoping he could recruit all the evil spirits from within the Well of the 3 features, in which his double had been, 7 years ago.

When he found everything set on fire, and Impa and Sheik facing a man with a long robe, and wearing the mask of truth.

-You bastard, you motherfucking bastard. - Sheik screamed in tears unable to restrain himself any longer. - You had me in it, you had me follow every single order from you, just so you could cast me aside?

-I said, five years ago, I did not wish for your death. And I wasn't doing that because I wanted.

-So you wish me not to die, but still you betray me? You leave me for death. You set the whole village on fire. You're helping Ganondorf.

-As you were, Ganondorf is but a mean to an end. I'll not be under his shadow for long.

-Explain what do you want, Zant. - Said Impa, already with the hilt of her sword in her hand.

-Oh, me? I wish nothing but what should have fallen into our hands already. The control of Hyrule, nay, the World. You should join me, with the rest of the Sheikah.

-Rest of the Sheikah?

-Oh, I caught your interest? So, you'll come along with me?

-I'll never join you.

-So you've made your decision. What about you Sheik? Oh, it matters not; you both are running off time. The seal is broken, and He shall escape and descend his wrath upon you.

He jumped to the top of the Windmill and Impa gave chase, letting Sheik to observe the Well, with his perception at its height.

Author's Note: An earlier update than I thought. My girlfriend (who lives with me) will travel tomorrow, leaving me with plenty of free time, expect an update soon. :D
Also, here it is, our favorite and fabulous Demon Lord. And even Zant is here, as you can notice, wooo \o\
As noticed on Skyward Sword, Sheikahs live for a long time. So I decided he could live enough to become a Dark Interloper and then become our beloved Ganon puppet. :3

Also, to the Garo explanation, as it may be used further in the plot. I decided the Sheikah who were banished needed to serve someone to have a meaning to their existence. So I decided to make them mercenaries to the kingdom who waged war in Ikana [who in my fic, built stone tower.], in my concept they are more humanoid than their appearance in Majora's Mask [yet that this can be explained by the fact that they are dead].

My fic might seem bullshitty but still I'm working on how not to break canon too much. I'd be very pleased if you guys reviewed it.

Woosh, long note is long.
