Author's Note: Yes there is nudity in this chapter though nothing is described. Just a heads up for people.
A warm hand passed over Sheik's body causing her to turn on her side. Another hand ran threw her hair, petting her gentle. These hands… they were Dark Link's. Her hand grabbed on to the hand on her head and held it. He had followed her from his home. Though something didn't feel right. It didn't have a smooth leathery feel, but felt more like hers. Slowly her eyes opened to a white pillow on a soft bed in a stony room. She quickly pulled herself upward and came face to face with Zelda. Her heart was racing as she hugged her.
"Zelda, my sister. You scared and confused me", Sheik said with a smile. Her heart began to slow down, her breaths deep and unsure.
"What am I doing hear? Why haven't you left yet?"
Zelda gave a reassuring smile, "A man founded you out in Hyrule field, you where asleep but he was worried that you were injured so he brought you to me for healing. And that is why I haven't left because you are here, my sister. So now if you do not mind me asking, what has brought you back to Hyrule Castle?"
Sheik looked down, "There is a rip in my skin. Though it has not bled, it is a magical rip and I was afraid of it becoming larger. Please can you heal it?"
"Sheik I will need to see it."
Sheik nodded, her golden hair rising and falling. The white night gown that she had been put into pulled up uncovering white badges around her stomach. She continued to hold it up, while Zelda unwrapped the badges every so diligently. Slowly a rip could be seen, bright light spilled out onto Zelda's lap. Finally the badges released themselves from Sheik and Zelda threw them onto the floor. She placed a warm hand over the light, causing Sheik to tremble. Her eyes closed and she began to concentrate on the wound.
"You know I really am thankful that you have given me my own body so that I may travel around this world."
Zelda's hand moved off Sheik's body and she looked down at the scarlet covers, "Yes well I thought that you shouldn't have to be trapped her for the rest of you're life like myself. I to wish to see the world again, but I doubt that I will ever be giving that chance again."
Sheik let the night gown fall back on her and turned to look at Zelda, "I know it is hard, I've been with you for a year now. But you have done so much to bring faith back to our people. We can never thank you and Link enough for that. Maybe someday when you have your child, you can take them to see the world as we once saw it. You could see even more than you were allowed. But right now you are still need to help balance everything back out."
Zelda nodded and pushed herself off the bed and onto her feet. She straighten her dress, pressing the wrinkles out and away with her silky gloves. She looked at Sheik, studying her features.
"Sheik, how did you know I was pregnant?"
"I could feel it, sister. They way you have been acting so motherly, your gentle and yet cautious touch."
Zelda nodded, "Sheik, I'm not married yet… Link and I had our romantic experience awhile ago and yet we are to be wed soon. That is why I am leaving. It is going to be very quite and low key. Nobody else knows this except for yourself and a few others. So I am asking you now Sheik, will you be my child's guarding, as Impa was once mine?"
"Of course I will sister. I am happy for you and yet sad about your choice. But I will believe that you were following your heart and that's all that matters."
Zelda smiled and hugged Sheik tightly in her arms, "Thank you Sheik. You truly are my sister", Zelda said as she released Sheik, "Please rest, I will have my tailor come and make you something more suitable to wear. I myself have something I need to attend to but I will come see you later in the day."
Zelda nodded to Sheik and opened the wooden door and let herself threw it. A guard could be seen on the other side. The door closed and Sheik was left alone. Her legs dropped over the side of the bed and she stood on the cold stone floor. Zelda had forgotten to tell her about the rip. She made her way over to a mirror and pulled off the white night gown her back to the reflection. Her head turned and she looked at the wound in the mirror, light glowed threw a narrow crack that was held together by what looked like purple marks horizontal to it. She sighed and wondered if that would hold it.
A knock echoed from the door. Sheik quickly pulled the gown from off the ground a threw it on herself and quickly ran to the door. An old woman stood in the door way, her face was shaped with a beauty of old age and she leaned on a wooden cane. Sheik moved out of the way and the woman walked in. She carried in her other arm an wicker basket that looked too heavy for her fragile structure. She placed it in a chair and began to shuffle around in it.
"Alight arms out and tummy in, it's measuring time Lady Sheik."

Sheik rode slowly threw the newly rebuilt market, watching people place bids on various items. Their yells and the other sounds from the market seem to make a music by themselves.
Her eyes was caught by a man and a woman who seemed to be fight about something. The woman threw something down on the ground and slapped the man. His eyes glowed and he yelled at her as she walked off. The man stood there for some moments then left himself.
Curiosity got the best of her and jumped off her horse and walked over to the place were the feuding couple had been standing. A silver ring laid on the ground shining in the sun light. Dark shoes appeared next to the ring cover by a blue skit. Sheik looked up at the person as the smiled at the ground.
"It's always a shame when a couple breaks up."
"Yes it is."
"But what's worse is not even know if you have a chance with someone."
The woman's gaze fell on Sheik.
"You memories linger on a dark man, someone you wish to be with."
"How do you know?"
"No the question is why haven't you told him how you feel. What love I feel coming from you is overwhelming, so much that it might injure you."
"What are you trying to say?"
"I am trying to say, lets see what the bones think, hmm?"
Sheik stared at her. She was a witch, yet she seemed to know much. Her head nodded and the woman shook a bag. Clanking noise came from it and she spilling it's bones out. She quietly read over them, taking care not to mess up.
"Hmm this is quite odd. I am having troubles read it."
Sheik suddenly became over come with fear. What if her future showed something about hurt in a relation. She quickly ran to her horse and rode out of the town as fast as she could. Tears fell from her eyes and were sent away with the wind. She didn't want to know. And yet she knew that she needed to tell Dark Link how she felt. She hurried over to Hyrule lake, leaping over the iron fences with her horse.
Hard and hard she push her horse until she had sight of the lake. She slowed the horse down and jumped off the back pulling her harp off the horse and with her. She landed in a kneel and slowly stood up. Sadden and slow the song she played on her harp, stopping herself several times before start for fear. Fear of being denied and hurt. And so she wait for the appearance of Dark Link Yet he did not appear.
Something wasn't right. Where was he? Why hadn't he appeared? Sheik over plucked a sting on the harp and her eyes filled with tears. She didn't know what was going on but she knew that it wasn't a good thing.
