Here I am again, back to make another update! Yes, and I have to keep updating to appease my faithful followers… I mean reviewers! Yes, I have no life. But then again, you might not have a life either for reading this! So hah, we're even! Yeah. Now where's the disclaimer…
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Legend of Zelda, but I do own a hacksaw. And a chain-saw. And a variety of other electronically or manually operated sharp pointy objects.
Link was being dragged through the front gate by his hair, and Jonathan was humming lightly to himself. " Finally, after so freaking long, after so much suffering, me and Louise will finally be getting home. " Jonathan said to himself. Link grunted. " You two are going to destroy this world, you're going to free- " And then he yelled in pain. Jonathan had pulled on his scalp again. " Shut up, we don't care. You Hylians treated us like vermin when we asked for help. Every last one of ya. All turned us down. We asked for nothing much, a place to room, some food, maybe a low paying job, something. What'd we get? " He said, stopping, laughing to himself. " We got the door slammed in the face. "
Link stopped. " Well, what'd you expect of the townspeople? Then just recovered from a war that had nearly destroyed the world. Pair of wanderers that look nothing like us wanting a sacred relic, and then some form of help? That's probably why they turned you down, they thought you were some of Ganon's lackeys, and planned on returning him to Hyrule. " And Jonathan chuckled. " Well, it's still all they're fault that we're doing this. You've all had at least two chances to prevent us from doing this. " Jonathan said. Link growled as they walked into the courtyard, not one guard present. Then there was a voice from behind them.
" Jonathan, you'll pay for your assault on Hyrule Castle. " And just then, Jonathan had avoided a dart, and then punched Link in the face, in which he crumpled, knocked out again. Jonathan stood there, facing a sheikah, dressed in tattered black clothing and the crest of the Sheikah's emblazoned on his chest. Jonathan was surprised. " What the? There are no more sheikah left! Their bloodline is extinct! " And the sheik charged him, and Jonathan took a vicious right hook to the face. Jonathan stumbled backwards. " Don't have to be of a certain blood to follow in their footsteps. " The man said, his ruby eyes blazing. Jonathan grinned. " So who taught you? Could it have been Zelda, before her demise? Maybe Impa trained you, foreseeing her role as a sage. " He said, barely sidestepping a volley of darts and then a well placed punch.
" That's up to you to figure out. " he said, as he unleashed a volley of fists, all blurs in Jonathan's vision, but he still managed to dodge them. " Your style. So unorthodox. " Jon said, almost intrigued by how random and clunky but fast the sheiks attacks were. " It gets the job done. " He said, softly. Jon avoided a few more hits, but was then caught by a vicious jab to the face, and was sent flying backwards. The Sheik then appeared behind him, and caught him with a series of bone crunching kicks and punches, and was sent flying forward, and the Sheik appeared in front of him, tensing his arm for a powerful blow.
" FLARE! " He yelled, and as his fist connected with Jon, Jon combust in a powerful explosion, sending him spiraling away from Sheik. Jonathan stood up, charred and bleeding. " This is the end of this Sheik! Even this was foreseen in my plan! " And he whistled, and Louise was behind Sheik, waving a stone surrounded by gold, which was as black as midnight. Sheik turned around, eyes wide. " Dammit! " And then he felt a painfully intense force slam into the back of his neck. He fell to all fours, and began to shake in pain. " Sys-system shock… he's no amateur… " And he fell to the ground, unconscious.
Sheik woke up 5 minutes later, trembling, " Oh, still hurts… " He said, rubbing the back of his neck. He took off his hat, revealing white messy hair that fell into his eyes. He limped over to Link's unconscious body, and swiftly kicked him in the side, and Link groaned, and opened his eyes. " Wake up. " He said, and Link stood up. " They've gotten away with the relic, and they're going to use it. It'll only take them about a half an hour to figure it out. " He said, folding his arms and closing his eyes. " What to do…? " And Link stared at him. " A sheikah? " And He nodded. He wore the traditional patchwork shirt with the Sheikah emblem on the chest. He wore a baggy black robe, one that fell short below his knees. He wore his pants with tattered cloth wrapping around his knees, down to his shins, where his pants were tucked into his boots. He wore a long blindingly bright red scarf wrapped around his neck that met his chin, and seemed to have a life of its own.
" But, I thought the sheikah arts died with Zelda? " And with that sentence his heart ached. " Yes, and no. As a child, Impa trained me, but our training was cut short as she disappeared with Zelda. I began to train myself, hence the strange fighting style. Then, after Impa became a sage, Zelda found me and finished my training. " And Link stared at him as he stood there, arms folded, eyes closed in thought. He reminds me of Sheik. They way this man stands, even the way he just thinks reminds me of Sheik… He thought, but then, the man's eyes opened. " I think I know where they are. " he said, grabbing Link by the wrist and jerking him to his feet.
" Come, how fast can you run right now? " he asked, and he whistled out a tune, and Epona rode towards. " Ah, yes your horse. " He said, and Link hopped on his horse. " Lead the way… what did you say your name was? " And the Sheik brushed off his sleeve. " I didn't say my name. Name's Darreth, wish we could've met under better circumstances, I'm usually a bit les… uptight. But the situation calls for seriousness, so so be it. " Darreth said. Then he ran off into the horizon, and Link kicked Epona to follow the speeding sheik. Link was amazed. " How do they manage to run that fast? " And as he rode his horse, he had the faintest inkling that Zelda was around. Silly, that he'd think Zelda was with him, even though she was dead, but he thought he had sensed her. Then, Link remembered something. When Zelda died, why didn't Ganon get her tri-force? Then it struck him. Zelda had given it to Darreth for safe keeping, foreseeing her death, like Jonathan had said. That's why he had sensed Zelda's presence, and why Darreth reminded him so much of Sheik. Because of the tri-force he held.
