"You...you're a Shiekah!" Ander stuttered disbelievingly, "They were said
to all be dead after the Lost Forest and the desert being massacred!" Ander
went white, "I know it, and I'm seeing ghosts!"
The man stood about six feet tall and he was in his early twenties. He had short blond hair with streaks of red that covered the sides of his face. His skin was tanned and fair but he had a long scar that race vertically across his left eyebrow down to his cheekbone. He wore dark blue bandages around his hands and knees and a white scarf wrapped around his nose and mouth down to the bottom of his chest. An eye carved in red was scripted on the scarf. He wore blue pants and a shirt and a pair of white boots that followed up to his knees. But the strangest thing was his eyes; they were silver, very pale, and it seemed every few seconds there was a spark of red that leapt in his iris.
Ander stood in shock on the tree branch as he stared at the stranger pointing the arrow at him.
"Well, what are you waiting for?" The stranger hissed sharply, "Get down from that tree!"
Ander still stood there unsure of what to do. Should I do what this guy says, he wondered, or maybe I can make a quick escape! The sharpness on the arrow seamed to gleam and threaten him very much.
"Move!"
Ander jumped at the sound of the Shiekah's voice, lost his balance and fell to the ground, conking his head on a root of the tree. He felt a hand grab the back of his tunic and heave him onto his feet. Ander swayed a bit, but regained his balance shortly after.
"You don't seem much of a threat." The Shiekah laughed silently placing the bow around the quiver hanging from his back. "You only got two dinky knives. How do you expect to kill someone with those?"
"I...what are you talking about?" Ander questioned.
"These are the dangerous times, what makes you think you wont face threats. Lets say I'm about to shoot an arrow through your head, what would you do?"
"I would...um..." Ander thought a moment. I've never really taken the time to think about it, he thought, "I would-,"
"My point exactly, you need training!" The Shiekah said quickly before Ander could finish his sentence, "There's a secret training camp five miles to the north of here. You should go there."
Ander stared dumbfounded at the Shiekah, "W-what? Training? I'm not leaving! I don't even know what ways north! My navigational skills are so low you have to dig for them!!"
"Okay, then, I'll lead you there."
"I'm not following you! I read about Shiekah, they're not to be trusted! And anyway, why would I need to go to a camp?! It's not like I'm going to become a warrior or anything!"
"You will go to the camp."
"Well to bad for you, 'cause I'm not moving!" Ander sat down on the ground beside the tree and stuck up his nose dramatically.
The Shiekah's eyes narrowed as he smirked underneath his scarf.
.
.
"This isn't what I had in mind!!" Ander yelled angrily.
"Don't worry, only three more miles to go!"
Ander hung over the Shiekah's shoulder, hands and feet tied with a rope.
"When my people come looking for me you'll be sorry!!" Ander said trying to wriggle free from the Shiekah's grasp.
"Give it a rest, will you? You don't want to waste your energy yelling and worming around," The Shiekah laughed slightly, "And stop it. You'll give me a bad back."
Ander sighed, "Can you at least tell me what's going on. At least your name."
The Shiekah dropped him onto the ground beside a tree and began to undo the knots on his hands and feet, "I figure it'll be okay to let you roam freely now. Besides you wont be able to get to far, considering your sense of direction." He said, ignoring Ander's question.
"Why do you never answer me!?" Ander hissed in frustration.
"Alright," the Shiekah said, "what do you want to know?"
"Who are you?"
The Shiekah stalled and thought for a moment, "My name is Strophe."
"Okay, and where are you from?"
"That isn't important," Strophe said quickly, "I suggest you get some sleep. You may ask more questions in the morning." And with that, he threw a deku seed to the ground and disappeared.
Ander closed his eyes and tried to go to sleep, but it seemed if he had anymore questions in his head, it would explode.
Finally, he forgot about it and listened to the wind rushing through the leaves in the trees, softly lulling him to sleep.
.
Up in a tree, Strophe watched Ander close his eyes and fall to sleep soundly. Is it possible He is reborn, he thought before he leaped through to another tree and began to drift to sleep.
"Well," A gruff voice said startling the Shiekah, "Is it Him?"
"I don't know," Strophe said calming down a bit, "He's quite pathetic. But he has the ring."
"Hmm, he needs a bit of time. So, what did u tell him?"
"I told him it was a training camp."
The gruff voice exploded with laughter, "Wait till he finds out that it's a-,"
"Shh!" Strophe hissed, "There are many enemies about. Don't go telling them where to find him!"
"But don't you think it might kill him? You know..the 'Training Camp'?"
"If it's him, the ring will kill it, if it isn't, we wont need him anymore."
"You think quite unfairly, Strophe, I'd expect more sincerity from you," The voice commented.
"Don't worry, I wont let him die."
