Silver looked at the wide openness that was before him. He was almost a little frightened. For somebody who has lived their entire life in a large lake and a cave, such a large wide open space was bound to make them just a little agoraphobic. Silver was also impressed, the grass, which he never paid any attention to in the Zora River Valley, felt so nice under his feet. He never in his wildest imagination thought that anything could be this big.
Silver looked and saw that there was a little stone bridge that went over the river, and that the river itself led to a large white wall, which Silver thought was probable that Hyrule Castle was behind it.
Silver knew the story about what had happened to Hyrule Castle during the evil king Ganondorf's reign, he took Hyrule Castle, and with the Triforce of Power, transformed it into a fortress of evil and wickedness where Link himself destroyed him. After Ganondorf's fall, Queen Zelda took the fortress of evil, and with her powers, destroyed it and the large pit that it was on previously. Queen Zelda, with the help of the sages, cast the evil that remained in the area, and then with a number of men, and star architects, Hyrule Castle was rebuilt. Eventually Hyrule Castle Town was rebuilt and the people of Hyrule pretty much forgot about the evils that were once so predominant in Hyrule, which they wanted to do.
This was the first time that Silver has been in an area so large, he was a little anxious, a little excited, and he knew that he definitely wanted to explore more. Silver looked over, and saw a large number of trees surrounding him, and he saw the little stone bridge, and was more interested in it. Silver also saw a walled in area on this high part of Hyrule Field, he also saw that there was an opening right there, and he didn't think that was a town for some reason, even thought he had no other reason to think so.
Silver felt like a kid in a candy store. There were so many new places to explore; any one of these places could have Sheikah's living in them. He knew next to nothing about the Sheikah's. He didn't know where they lived, or where they called home, nothing. He looked around excitedly, there were all of these places to go to, and each of them was, in his mind calling for him to go to them and explore them first. Something that interested him was the place that was the farthest away from the water, the walled-in area on the high area of Hyrule Field. He decided that he would go there first.
Judging from the sun, it was just before midday, so he had plenty of time before sundown, he should be able to travel safely through Hyrule, but you could never be too certain. He started out for that area, the grass still felt so funny beneath his feet, it was a little bit ticklish, but Silver decided not to let that from stopping him from discovering his true roots. He started out and headed straight for the walled in area.
Silver dashed quickly over to the mysterious walled in area that seemed to be in the center of Hyrule. He came to opening in the wall, and he could see several buildings. He was curious what this place was, although his first thought was that this was a city of some sorts. Silver went to the opening, and he went in.
When Silver reached the end of the path, he was surprised and interested at the same time. There were these buildings by him, while there was this fence and all these odd 4 legged creatures all around him. Silver summoned up his courage, and decided to walk over, it wasn't until then he noticed that there was a little Hylian standing outside the fence thing with one of the four-legged things. She had long red hair, and wore a white dress.
Looking at her, Silver was now certain that these creatures, whatever they are, couldn't be dangerous or harmful. He walked over to her. When she first saw him, the girl seemed extremely shocked. Silver continued walking, presuming that she had never seen a Zora before in her life.
Silver finally stopped in front of her. She was still standing there, shocked, and the four-legged thing seemed shocked, also. Silver knew that he would have to break the ice. "Ummm, hello," was all that he could think to say, even though he was Silver the freakah sheikah, no one had ever looked at him like that.
Finally the red-haired Hylian said something. "Hello, ar-are you a Zora?" She asked obviously very surprised. Silver smiled and sort of laughed to himself about this. "Well, yes I am, sort of." The girl tilted her head at this. "You see, I am half-Zora, and I am also half-Sheikah." The girl looked even more surprised at this; she then composed herself and said. "Well, hello, I am Iroa, and my parents own this place, which is Lon Lon Ranch.
Lon Lon Ranch, Silver thought to himself, this was a place that Link himself had visited. "Hello, I am Silver and what are these things?" Silver asked. "Oh, these, these are horses." Iroa said, "and this here is Asimi." She said calmly. "A horse, you mean like Epona?" Silver asked. "Oh yes, in fact Asimi here is a descendant of Epona," Iroa said. Silver was shocked, this horse was a descendant of Epona, the very horse that Link had.
"So, what's a Zora like you doing outside of the Zora's world?" Iroa asked. Silver knew that he would have to tell her everything, and also he wanted to get it all of his chest, how he had nearly died because of Pearl, how no one, not even Melody, who he thought was his best friend, came looking for him. "Okay, the story is-," Silver began, and by the time that he had finished, he thought that he saw Iroa wipe a tear from her cheek.
"So, Silver, you look pretty hungry, do you want to eat some lunch here?" Iroa asked rather shyly. "Okay, that's sounds nice." Iroa and Silver walked up to one of the buildings. Silver was curious, he had to ask. "So, Iroa, are you related to Malon in any way?" "Oh, yes Malon was my grandmother." Iroa said, smiling. Malon was Epona's trainer in the story. Together, Silver and Iroa walked into one of the buildings and found a small house. There was a lady with hair the exact same color as Iroa that a large pot over a fire.
"Iroa, you're just in time," said the lady at the pot who had her back turned at the precise instant Silver and Iroa walked in. "Mama," said Iroa, this is Silver, he is someone that I just met. Silver, this is Kota, my mother." Kota turned around and saw that she looked almost exactly like Iroa. Kota had the same look in her eyes that Iroa had when Silver had introduced himself. "Hello, Silver, ummm, are you hungry?" Kota asked rather reproachfully. "Mm-hmm," Silver replied also shyly.
Together, Iroa and Kota set a table while Silver sat there, Iroa sat next to Silver while they ate some really good liquid stuff, which had stuff like fish and what seemed like plants in it. It was really good. Silver asked, "what do you call this stuff?" Kota smiled and said, "It's called stew, and has various meats and vegetables in it." Silver didn't really want to talk now; he wanted to eat the rest of this stuff.
When they had finished eating, Silver wondered if either Iroa or Kota would know anything about Sheikah's. "Ummm," he began reproachfully, do you, eh, know anything about Sheikah's? Silver asked.
Kota looked taken back at this, but she answered his question truthfully. "Well, dear, Sheikah's are from Kakariko Village, and the Sage of Shadow was Impa, who was a Sheikah, and also Princess Zelda's guardian." Silver looked surprised, he had never heard of Impa or Kakariko Village before in his life.
"So, do you know where Kakariko Village is?" Silver asked. "You can see it when you leave the Ranch; it is through this little passage beneath Death Mountain." Death Mountain? Wasn't that a volcano? Silver asked himself, and before he asked, Kota said, "It's a volcano that erupts occasionally, but never does any harm to the village." She said smiling.
"So, why does a young Zora like you have such an interest in Kakariko and the Sheikah?" Kota asked. Before Silver could answer, Iroa said, "Silver isn't pure Zora, he is half-Sheikah."
"Oh," said Kota. "Well, I had better clean up, why don't you and Silver go back outside, Iroa?" Kota asked. "Okay, Mama," said Iroa. Silver and Iroa stepped outside the door. "Well, Iroa, I had better get going to Kakariko Village before it gets too dark." Silver said. Iroa looked rather sad. "Well, if you find out anything about the Sheikah, or you mother, please come back and tell me." Iroa asked with a light smile, and an odd gleam in her eyes.
"Okay, I will." Silver said, as he turned around and started to leave. He turned back and waved to Iroa, who was still standing in the same spot that they were. She smiled back with a light smile, and that odd gleam still there.
Silver walked down the path, and stepped outside the wall; he looked over and saw Death Mountain with a light ring of smoke around it. He then walked excitedly away from the Ranch to Death Mountain, hoping he meet an actual Sheikah, Silver was more excited in that moment than he had ever been in his life…..
