Prologue -

Shin took in a breath of air that seemed heavy with anxiety, as if it stemmed from some invisible wind of the past. Kibito approached him from behind, setting a gargantuan hand on his Master's shoulder.

"Master, you seem perturbed. Care to share?" The massive bodyguard asked.

Walking out to the edge of a cliff on the beautiful world of the Kaioshin, light apparently swimming off of the many moons through the crystal blue air, Shin sighed and set his gaze to some unknown world.

"The Earth...where we are to travel shortly. It feels like the world is somehow damned...even when evil is overcome it sprouts up to strangle the planet relentlessly. Perhaps our ancestors set it as a pariah...but for who?" He said, with considerable knowledge, oblivious to the Hero of Time who took residence on Earth who had saved a time immensely distant in the rift of dimensions.

"These questions...they pertain to fate which only our ancestors, the true founders of the universe, can answer. Perhaps the Earth is forever lost...but we must go to ensure that the evil it is about to spawn does not consume the universe."

"Nay, Kibito." Shin said valiantly, spinning, his robe flapping in the ethereal wind. "We must stop it from ever being reborn. Prepare, however, for I fear the worst is already in effect. Babidi may have been deterred by the Android attacks for these years but as we speak he is on Earth seeking out to revive his father's monstrosity and it will not be long before he gains the energy to do so."

With these words the Kaioshin were silent, Shin's third eye turning upon a barren desert disturbingly devoid of life, even for a desert, in one small circular region. He sighed.

"After all these years I had prayed I could forget the atrocities of the past."
