As usual I don't own anything but my ideas and Sheiks parents and all that kind of stuff.

Sorry for not updating in a while I went away for spring break and stuff also when you are running on not much sleep nothing makes much sense so sorry if this chapter kind of sucks.

Early in the morning the sun was shining warmly down onto Hyrule. Sheik found himself sitting alone inside one of the courtyards within the castle walls. He had been there for a few days now waiting for help. Sheik sighed as he looked up towards the sky watching the small birds fly by. Then he looked towards the grass picking a few blades from the ground with his left hand. Short pulses of pain ran through his chest causing his hand to shake letting the blades of grass slip from his hand. Sighing shakily Sheik pulled his knees up to his chest wrapping his arms around them placing his head on them.

"Are you alright?" a voice called from the other side of the courtyard. He didn't bother to lift his head up, knowing who it was already. Princess Zelda had been watching over him the past few days always asking what was wrong. Sheik never told her though; he didn't want pity from her.

"I am fine," He mumbled. Her footsteps could be heard walking over to him with her dress swishing over the tall grass.

"You do not seem fine Sheik…." Zelda commented as she sat down beside him. Sheik lifted his head from his arms to look at her. Her crystal blue eyes filled with worry, as she looked him straight in the eye. Something inside of him made him fell he should tell her but he couldn't he didn't want to worry her.

"I am fine Princess" He smiled at her weakly as the pain in his chest subsided. A nod was the response he got from the princess as she turned to look at the small fountain just ahead. Then there was a long period of silence between the two till Zelda broke the silence with an unusual question.

"Now Sheik this may seem like a foolish question but…." She then paused for a moment as if to think on continuing.

"Go on…. If you are worried on offending me do not worry I don't offend quite that easily" Sheik smiled at her reassuringly.

"Alright well… I was wondering isn't it kind of odd that your name is Sheik? You know Sheik the Sheikah it seems odd…. You know what I am getting at right?" She questioned.

"Yes…. Well…. I…" Sheik then paused to think. He had never really thought of that before or ever noticed. 'Sheik the Sheikah isn't a very well thought out name I suppose' he thought. Zelda tilted her head to the side then into his face blinking a few times.

"I truly don't know princess…. It is fairly odd but you are named what you are named…. Why is your name Zelda? Why is Impa named Impa? No one really knows why they are named what you are named…" He pointed out to her.

" You are right I guess…." She answered. Sheik thought for a moment looking around the courtyard.

"What made you think of that question?" He asked lifting an eyebrow at her. She smiled at him smartly then stood up heading towards the archway.

"I'll show you …come on now" the Princess smiled mischievously. Sheik had not clue what she was talking about, so he decided that since he had nothing else to do he would follow her.  The two quickly ran into the castle, up the stairs up to the library. Zelda then quickly walked over to one of the shelves looking for something.

"What are you looking for?" He asked her as he walked up behind her.

"This is what I was looking for…." She pulled a book from the shelf carrying it over to one of the tables. Sheik totally confused followed her over to the table looking at the huge old book. The book seemed very old; some of the pages were curling at the edges. 'Hyrule's History of men' was the title of this book which Sheik had no clue why she dragger him all this way.

"Here it is…. Sheik the Sheikah the guide of darkness …" Zelda begin to read the text from the book.

"What? May I see that?" He jumped beside her. Zelda laughed taking the book away from him.

"Hold on Sheik here" She slid the book over to him. He quickly scanned the book, which explained things he never knew.

" Damien Sheik the Sheikah the guide of darkness was the Sheikah who led the first war with the Gerudo. After killing the Gerudo king he fled to the Shadow temple where he was given the curse of sight staining his eyes the color of the blood he spilt in battle. When leaving the temple after the few years he lived there he let himself be caught by the Gerudo allowing them to kill him for the murder of their king. They say after living in the temple for so long made him lose his senses. It's also said that the demon living inside of the temple took over his mind causing him to go insane…." Sheik paused after reading taking this all in. 'was this who I was named after? But why Damien?' he thought to himself.

"It also said that Sheik really wasn't his last name it was just a name he gave himself because he didn't know his parents …. But what a person to be named after? That guy was crazy it also says he claimed he had sight but it was never proven… I think whoever can stay in the shadow temple that long is bound to go crazy" Zelda commented quietly closing the book.

"Why would my parents name me after such a person?" Sheik asked as he sat down on one of the chairs.

"Destiny" Was the simple reply he got from her.

"Destiny? What do you mean?" He asked turning towards her fully. A small smile stretched across her lips slowly as she walked away from the book.

"It means nothing and everything" Zelda replied then walked out the door. Sheik sat there thinking about what he learned. Was it his destiny to be named after a war leader? No that's impossible why in the dark realm would he be somehow connected to a mad person like Damien. Pushing those thoughts out of his mind he picked up the history book then began to read the rest of the book.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Sheik…. Wake up boy I'm talking to you" A deep male voice called to him distantly. Jumping up Sheik quickly looked around to see a tall dark man standing across from him. Long black hair thinly shaped the mans face framing in his piercing dark red eyes.

"w-who are you?" Sheik stuttered backing away from the man. The man smirked as he crossed his arms across his chest.

"Oh you know who I am……" he grinned darkly. He thought for a moment then it came to him making his eyes widen.

"Damien Sheik…." Sheik whispered fearfully. A dark laugh filled the area around them causing Sheik to shudder.

"Yes you are correct young Sheikah…" Damien smirked at him. Sheik had no clue on what was going on but all he knew was that he wanted to get away.

"I will let you go once you hear what I have to say" Damien narrowed his dark eyes at him. He nodded meekly feeling a bit frightened knowing the history of this man.

"What do you want from me?" Sheik asked boldly.

"I am here to give you a fair warning about your past boy so you do not end up like me" the man explained.

"Why would I turn out to be like you I have nothing to do with you!" he exclaimed backing away from him. Damien laughed dryly as he walked around Sheik watching him carefully.

"Our fates are intertwined our destiny's the same but with this meeting I hope that you will not end up like me" Damien spoke in an eerie tone that made the rooms temperature drop.

"O-our destinies? How could they be the same?" Sheik asked rubbing the side of his arm.

"We have been touched by the same evil…… both been tainted but I will give you the knowledge that I was not as lucky to have" this shocked Sheik. ' He had been attacked by a demon also? Or is he just trying to trick him?'

"No this is no trick Sheik. Your parents named you after me because of our fates were the same. Now Sheik the Sheikah go to Lake Hylia there you will come upon a house by the lake… talk to the man and he will help you further…" Damien then stepped away from him. The mans image started to shake and disappear slowly.

"That is all I have to tell you Young Sheikah…goddess speed to you…don't let darkness make a fool of you as it did me…" The voice got distant fading slowly.

~~~~~~~~~~

Sheik opened his eyes with a start jumping up from his seat looking around the room.

"A dream…it was just a dream" he whispered to himself. Something made him feel that it wasn't just a dream it was a vision but he didn't have sight so that couldn't be it. Sheik looked out the closest window seeing that it was mid after noon he closed the book then got up walking out the door. There was something that made him feel that he should take this dream seriously.  He remembered it saying he had to go to Lake Hylia to talk to someone who lived there. Sheik knew he couldn't go alone Impa would kill him before anything else could. Yet he felt this was something he had to do on his own but was he well enough for travel? It was something he had to risk he guessed, even though he was still considered a child in the Sheikah world.

"Tonight…yes it will work" Sheik murmured to himself as he walked towards his room.

"What's going on tonight?" a voice asked behind him causing him to jump.  Zelda smiled at him sweetly as he turned to face her fully. Sheik wasn't sure if he should tell her or not she could tell Impa.

"Nothing really…." He answered shortly as he walked down the hall towards his room. Hearing Zelda's shoes scuffle over the marble floor he quickened his pace towards the window. Climbing up onto the windowsill Sheik looked behind him to see Zelda's eyes wide.

"What are you doing!?" She shrieked as she ran towards him. Letting a grin cross over his face he turned his back to her then leaped out the window. As he fell he could still hear Zelda's shrieks of terror; his hair whipped around his face as he fell towards the ground.  He looked beneath him to see the moat nearing in his descend; he closed his eyes then held his breath as he plunged into the freezing water. Sheik tired to swim back up to the surface but then current pulled him under dragging him into one of the grates. Grasping onto the holes he pulled himself up and out of the water gasping for air then slowly pulled himself to land. Sighing he emptied the water out of his shoes then looked up towards the window which he had jumped from.

"Sorry Zelda" he whispered then put his last shoe on then ran towards the gates. He hoped the dream he had was real and that he wasn't going on this journey for nothing. One thing that bothered him was that he hoped his health would keep up till he got there or else what he feared came true.

Alright that's it for now sorry for taking so long ^-^
