YAY here is the next chapter…… Sorry I didn't update when I said. I had a lot of homework to finish and stuff heh. I am also sorry about the last chapter I don't even think it was spell checked at all. For that I am very sorry my spelling isn't very stellar (sighs). So here is a quick run down of this next chapter so if you don't read this note you are going to be pretty lost. OK we are speeding through time a few years because they years are not very interesting. He learns how to play his harp better and reads hell of a lot of books in the library. So when our story starts now he is now 10 years old like Zelda and Link. So you know what that means!(if you don't then well……read and find out heh)
The warm Hyrulain air swept through the country side warming everything with its touch. The silence of the castle lay heavy as time passed sluggishly towards the awaited night. A soft sigh could be heard from within the castle library in the catacombs of the shelves. Sitting on the top of a book shelf Sheik casually leaned against the wall. With one knee arched up supporting his rather large book he read in silence. Brushing away his light blond hair away from in front of his eyes he carefully turned the page. Never pausing from his reading he could hear footsteps stop just under him. Not even acknowledging the person Sheik turned another page of his book letting his arm fall to his side.
"I thought I would find you in here…." Zelda spoke up lightly. Letting out yet another sigh Sheik never looked up from his book.
"Well where else do I have to go….." Sheik spoke up almost sounding bitter even in his young age. He had all right to be bitter since it had been two years or so since he had seen or heard from his mother. While turning the next page of his book he heard Zelda sigh softly from the floor under him.
"I have been trying to talk to Impa about letting you walk around more freely….. its just….."Zelda paused as if trying to find the right way to word it.
"I am a threat now… since Gannon had his fun by stabbing some magical based thing into my neck…. She believes he could use it to take control over me anytime…" Sheik responded in a matter of fact tone. Turning a page of his book once again he still didn't look down at the princess.
"Sheik I know you're not happy here but we cant let you go yet because of what may happen to you…" Zelda sighed softly. Sheik decided not to respond to her and keep reading his book. He knew it wasn't her fault that Impa was keeping him under lock and key but he couldn't help it. Suddenly an odd feeling washed over him causing him to drop his book. Sheik suddenly stood up on the shelf then turned towards the window.
"What is it?" Zelda asked quietly. He jumped down from the shelf and made his way towards the window looking towards the forest.
"The balance of nature has shifted……" Sheik whispered softly never taking his eyes away from the forest in the distance. He faintly heard the princess walk up behind him.
"What do you mean?" She asked softly. Sheik blinked a few times then looked over at Zelda and back over to the forest.
"Something has begun… I something has come to pass which will cause a chain reaction" He paused looking distantly at the forest seeing a powerful green glow come from the deepest part of Kokiri village.
"What do you think caused the chain reaction?" Zelda stood beside him looking at him instead out the window. Sighing Sheik walked back over to his book shelf then jumped up quickly. He sat himself back down picking up his book once more then began to read.
"You better go tell Impa what happened…" He muttered without even looking at her. Zelda sighed softly then nodded her head leaving Sheik alone in the library. Putting down his book Sheik jumped off the shelf heading towards the window once again. Looking towards the Kokiri village he couldn't help but feel something coming their way. 'I better keep and eye on the princess just in case… Ganon has done something' he thought then walked out of the library. Casually walking through the hallway he sighed softly to himself shifting the book under his arm. Stopping at the doorway to his room he opened the door walking in. Looking around at all stacks of books that littered the floor. All those books where ones that he had read already which was already over half the library. The ones in his room of course were his favorites but not all the ones he had read really. He would like to think it was. He had read over half the library and this could almost count as half but it wasn't. Shaking his head then sighed at himself knowing he was just confusing himself (and the readers lol). Laying the book in his 'half read' pile he drew back the covers to his bed. Looking over his shoulder towards the window behind him he watched the night draw its dark arms over the sky. Sighing softly Sheik pulled his shirt over his head folding it then laid it on the trunk on the end of his bed. Stretching he climbed into bed pulling the covers over his head as he closed his eyes. He could feel everything drop away from him as he drowned in his own dream.
Opening his eyes again Sheik found himself standing in the middle of Kakariko Village alone. He could feel the heat of fire radiating through the air causing him to choke. Coughing harshly Sheik stumbled towards his house trying to find his mother. He tried calling out to her but he couldn't find his voice to do so. Panicking he quickened his pace towards his home only to find Impa exit it quickly. Stopping in front of her he could see she was trying to say something important to him but he just couldn't hear her. He tried to talk to her also but his voice still wouldn't come. He watched Impas facial expressions to try and figure out what she was saying but all he could identify was the look of horror on her face. A dark shadow cast itself across him as a strong hand spun him around them grabbed him by the throat. Gasping in shock he could feel the air in his lungs seep out of him. Opening his eyes he could see the fuzz around his vision infecting his sight. His lungs cried out for air as he struggled to get free from the grasp. As he slipped in and out of consciousness he felt a warm light engulf him. Opening his eyes quickly all he could see was blue light as everything grew dark.
"….. All will be consumed by flame… leaving you alone"
Gasping softly Sheik sat up quickly his eyes darting around the room franticly. He could feel something thick and warm run down his cheeks from his eyes. Wiping his face quickly he looked at his hands seeing then tinged red with blood. Sighing softly he got up hurrying to the bathroom he found his basin then splashed water into his face. Repeating this acting a few times he noticed the water turned a murky red. Drying his face with a cloth he walked back into his room sighing softly. This had been happening to him more often then it used to. He would wake up from the same dream with his eyes bleeding just how they would when he had first lost his sight. It was like his dream was trying to tell him something that he just couldn't understand. He had the same dream a few years back when this whole adventure had started but then it kept getting longer then before each time revealing something new. It always gave him an eerie feeling when he woke up along with his eyes bleeding. He had never really told anyone about it but it's not like it really matters. His dreams never really mean anything anyways so why say anything. Also it's not like every Sheikah is going to fall off the face of Hyrule. There were so many of them that there was no way they could all die. Plus no one had that kind of power but still it bothered him that his dream would say that. He usually followed his dreams but for once he had to question them and it made him feel uneasy. Sighing softly Sheik quickly dressed then grabbed his harp from his dresser. Leaving his room he made his way to the highest point of the castle. Walking up to the nearest window he opened it then climbed out onto the roof. Putting a hand over his eyes scanning around he walked around till he found his favorite spot. Sitting on the edge he started to strum a few notes playing one of the songs his mother would play for him. Letting the tune flow around him be couldn't help but feel a bit better then earlier. Smiling softly he put the harp down beside him then looked down at the court yard beneath him. As he watched the small flowers wave in the breeze something caught his attention. A boy around his age had just entered the courtyard looking a bit out of place. Sheik flattened himself against the roof so not to be seen as he watched the boy cross the grass. He could tell he was from the forest or something since he was dressed entirely in green. Looking in the direction the boy was heading he spotted the princess gazing through the window. Getting the feeling he shouldn't interfere Sheik simply just watched the two exchange a few words. Zelda let the boy peer through the window then withdraw from his quickly then they resumed to speaking. He watched Zelda motion towards the entrance which Sheik followed seeing Impa standing there. The boy quickly walked over to meet her then the soft song of the royal family filled the air. Then the two of them left the courtyard leaving the princess alone. Rising to his feet Sheik picked up his harp then jumped down to the window sill then off it to the ground landing on his feet by the princess.
"Was that who I think it is?" He asked softly looking at the princess.
"Yes…. the time has come for the prophecy to begin…" Zelda looked at Sheik then at the ground.
"Yes…. but are we ready?" Sheik sighed softly keeping his eyes on her. Turning towards him Zelda pulled an old book that was small enough to fit in a pocket then handed it to him.
"You will need this in the following years…Everything you need to know to fulfill your destiny is in here….. but to start this journey this book holds now is not the time…. You will know the time but until then do not look inside the book. Even if you tired the pages would be blank to you since it's not your time yet…. My time is almost over for now… and Links time along with your own will start soon" Zelda then walked away from him and out of the courtyard. Sheik held the small book in his hand staring at it carefully. 'What makes this book so special……' he wondered as he put the book in his pocket. Walking back into the castle Sheik made his way through the halls silently until a voice caught his attention. He turned to see it was Impa walking with Zelda so he simply shrugged it off. Sighing to himself he kept walking to try and keep him mind of the book and his mother. By not paying to much attention in where he was walking little did Sheik know he was walking into something he should not have heard. Hearing a deep whisper Sheik stopped at the corner and peeked around it.
"Is it time yet master?" a hollow voice hissed sharply sounding slightly annoyed.
"Yes… I think it's about time… your lovely other half has visited already… I've seen him so now you may have a form." the deep voice which belonged to Ganon spoke. Sheiks eyes widened at what he was seeing before him. From the darkness an outline emerged which laughed sharply.
"Now we may take the castle?" the new person asked the voice still hollow. Ganon seemed to smirk then nod slightly then he started to laugh. Sheik stepped away from the wall as quietly as he could then ran down the hall as fast as he could.
"Someone heard us! GET THEM!" Ganon bellowed as Sheik ran. 'oh no… I must get to Impa to warn her!' he ran through the hall quickly. As he ran he could feel something running in the darkness on his left. Taking a quick glance to see what it could be all Sheik could see was a pair of glowing lifeless eyes. Suddenly something darted out at him smashing him into the side of the wall. Sheik cried out as his head smashed into the side of the wall causing everything to suddenly shut down.
OOOooooOOOOO lol I will try and update soon but I hope to get more reviews heh
