Especially if people start to like it, cuz I'm so capricious, I dunno if I'm responsible
enough to finish… x_x But, here's hoping! Heh… this is actually gonna be a fic where
Sheik is a separate existence from Zelda but isn't slashed with Link… well, actually, he
is, but not right away. ^_^ Many original characters abound, so excuse my sloppiness
with some, as I'm not entirely sure of their personalities just yet. ^^
To Go Beyond— Prologue
A tepid wind wove itself through the clear air of the Kingdom of Hyrule as surely
as its passage across the vast cliffs surrounding it would allow, to the emerald fields that carried the same name as its motherland. Perhaps it knew of the fate that would befall its protectors as it caused the grass below to ripple and bow to its force, diverging across the very center of the land to gust in a ring of air upon the walls of each sacred temple and each humble residence.
One pair of eyes silently observed the world below from atop the rocky summit of
Death Mountain, taking on a silvery cast by the dim white light that speared through the
bleak ceiling of clouds. She, who seemingly carried with her the knowledge of countless generations and the burdens that came in kind merely in the sound of her footsteps, would continue to watch until she was satisfied that the people were all aware of the signs and portents before them. Perhaps at least then, it would be easier for them to accept their new task…
From Hyrule Castle, Zelda watched with similar eyes the bustling crowds that
were her people. In a tree above the plateau of the Water Temple, a young Sheikah man
looked up from his harp. Link woke with a start in the spare room of Lon Lon Ranch.
Somewhere, Saria and Ruto shivered, Nabooru and Darunia cursed, Impa and Rauru
bowed their heads in silent meditation.
The dark-clothed woman closed her eyes. It was time.
