Chapter Ten – Son of the Kakariko.
According to legend, stories told to all of the children of the Sheikah, a boy would be born every one hundred years in the mountain town Kakariko. This child's purpose is one that is most important to the Sheikahs, and that when his journey was to be completed, he would join the others born for purpose and become the next 'Guardian of Shadows'.
Upon his birth his destiny would lead him to fight in an unholy war against the cursed 'Redead' Lord. For he was bestowed upon him at birth magic, unlike all in the land of Hyrule, through darkness he moves, forever hiding in the shadows. Fore that is where his enemy was known to rest. The hidden world of shadows waiting for the next soul to fight against him.
Many generations passed and the Redead Lord remained in his tomb, cursing the land, returning the once living to the land, his evil power brought sorrow to the world, especially those in the town Kakariko where he rested.
He waited for his next adversary to battle with him. After hundreds of years he found that his undead life was nothing but a eternal bore, always waiting for another to keep him from waking from his cursed undead slumber, hoping for the day he would rise once more into the land of the living, awaiting the coming of the chosen one, to claim his soul and reclaim his rule over the land.
Legend tells us that once the chosen one was born, the Redead Lord was to vanquish, but not by the hands of the Sheikah, another was to keep his evil from awakening. This was not expected and this outsider angered the Sheikah, but they do not fight against others without reason and the 'Hero of Time' was left to continue on his own journey. Leaving the young Sheikah to grow without ever knowing his destiny.
The story of the 'Guardian of Shadows' was slowly lost in time, and the chosen one, the Sheikah Prince was never heard of again after his disappearance on his sixteenth birthday. The rumor that he had passed into the realm of shadows, cursed by his unfinished life, never to be allowed to step into the world of the living. And as time passed by that was found to be not true, a story made up to scare the Sheikah children.
One story of his fate was to stay in the books of Kakariko, the truth of what really was to happen to the boy. The truth about his disappearance, and the destiny he was to fight for. The book was said to be written by the great Sheikah Queen 'Impa', and she writes of the boys reached destiny.
The story of the young Sheikah was only a brief history of his last known moments in Hyrule, what occurred after that last night in Kakariko is unknown to all.
A young boy, the chosen one who would bring peace to the world, the one who was to fight against the cursed, and bring an end to the darkness, the one that would finally put to rest the darkened soul, the demon known as the 'Redead Lord'.
The son of a Queen, but never called a Prince, was to fight alongside a great hero, only to find his destiny in a place not expected to those around him. He was not to be the one that would bring an end to the darkness, only aid the one who would.
The boy was named Sheik after his people, and was taught by the Queen to evade others by hiding within the shadows and taught to fight with 'Shadow Sickle'. Sheik was born with magic that only was bestowed upon the chosen. And from an early age he was to grow, knowing that he was to fight against great evil and become the 'Guardian of Shadows'. But fate had others plans for Sheik.
The Princess of Hyrule came to the town of Kakariko one day to ask of the Queen for a great sacrifice to her people. She told the Queen that she was sent to find someone who would fight alongside the one chosen by the Great Sages to save Hyrule and that the one she was sent to find was most important to her journey and more importantly, he was the one that was chosen to aid the 'Hero of Time'.
The 'Hero of Time' needed help on his journey to save the land of Hyrule from the demon Lord 'Ganondorf'. The Queen who once protected the Princess when she was a child knew of the great evil, and was to call upon the boy who was chosen by the Great Sages.
She told Sheik of the 'Hero of Time' and that he needed someone to fight along side him, to help him fight against a great evil. Sheik listened as he was told of Ganondorf. He understood what this was to mean and accepted the Princesses plea. Sheik was to decide his own fate and go aid the hero. But by doing this he would be forbidden to return to Kakariko, it was not the Queens law, but the law of her people, Sheik understood this as he prepared for his journey.
The sun began to set as Sheik appeared in front of Zelda, she noticed the Sheikah ritual battle robes he was wearing. The blue and white pattern covered the cloth and his face was hidden only revealing his eyes. She seemed to recognize what he was wearing but ignored it. Sheik approached her and asked.
"Princess, I was raised to believe that I would be fighting against great evil, in a whelm beyond this world. To leave Kakariko before vanquishing the evil brings shame and dishonor to my people. And I have been banished. Please tell me if this quest is one of importance, enough for me to give up my destiny?"
The answer that was given no one knows of, even me.
Sheik left Kakariko and was never seen again, only his memory and his stories remain. His destiny was never found to anyone's knowledge. And as his mother I pray each night that he has found his sanctuary.
That was the last entry in the Queens diary of the life of Sheik 'Sheikah Prince'. Queen Impa never spoke of her son after that day, only writing these words of his last moments in Kakariko village.
The story of his quest is unknown, the archives of the Kakariko and Hylian libraries tell of stories and rumors of his journeys. All these stories are claimed to be false.
