Disclaimer: I do not own the Legend of Zelda. Nintendo does. Your surprised?
Author's Note: Thanks for your reviews. Nothing much to know just keep in mind that Zelda/Sheik is about 18 in this chapter and Gannondorf's Tower has yet to be constructed in place of the original castle. And don't gripe about spoilers because I'm sure there isn't a person alive who has played Ocarina of Time and couldn't guess Sheik was Zelda.

Ocarina of Time: Rebirth
Chapter Twenty-Nine: Seven Years - Wrath and Inheritance
Three more years went by rather slowly for the young woman known by now as the infamous Sheik who had earned an extended list of bounties for crimes committed against Gannondorf and his troops. However the people adored the mysterious bandit and warrior who seemed to always be causing the greatest of trouble to the evil king however this didn't hinder the progress of his empire much at all. He continued to terrorize the people in search of the Triforce. It was a shame that Impa felt she had to return to Kakariko Village to maintain order while the people of Hyrule wished to revolt. By doing this she saved a great number of lives.
Gannondorf's empire had grown truly. His forces had grown greatly in ranks. And now there was an opening from Lake Hylia to the sea which was currently dammed up. His monsters had occupied the Kokiri Forest and many of the child imps stayed in their homes. And the eerie tower of Gannondorf had been completed and the old castle of Hyrule destroyed, Sheik had witnessed all of the explosions going off at once feeling it would bring out more determination to stop him. Truly it did. However one thing still continued to bother the young warrior...
The fact that Gannondorf still had yet to find the Triforce puzzled her to no end and when she wasn't training or doing anything she could the hinder the empire's growth she was pouring over the ancient writings of the Triforce. Many of which had been kept in the town for safe keeping over the last several hundred years, perfectly preserved they were readable and able to be uncoded. Sheik spent several, several hours until she uncovered something about the connection between the three Triforce pieces which each possessed its own element: Power, Wisdom and Courage. Only a person who was perfectly equal to this could ever contain the entire Triforce within themselves.
Then Zelda came upon another writing of the forth piece of the Triforce. A piece that was the not really of the light, seemed that the Triforce was once called the Omniforce when it was one complete triangle. Apparently it's power represented no element of the human soul, but it had one attribute that the others did not. It possessed the ability to call the other pieces into the bearer's possession even if they were of a dark heart. Fearing this piece the ancient sages removed it and cast it away into the darkest, most dangerous areas of the sacred realm. Where beings of one's nightmares resided, though they lacked the intelligence or the soul to ever possess the Forth Piece.
Truly Sheik had done alot of searching for this talking to every ruling body of Hyrule not counting the Gerudos who would have handed over any pieces they had by now. But truly everything did come up blank. Nobody who had the attributes to possess a piece did. It was all like a wild goose chase, but maybe if it was Gannondorf wouldn't be able to get to them. Little did Sheik understand the part of when the darkness grows to its greatest the light will appear, the Triforce would not reveal itself until another year had passed. Sheik would have to wait.
Exactly one years later. Seven years since the Battle of Hyrule Castle. It was the day of the awakening and the day that the apparent prison of light would be broken from the two heroes who defended Princess Zelda years ago. However the last six months had been pure hell for the country of Hyrule. Gannondorf had lost all restraint and was taking matters to great force! Six months ago, Zora's Domain fell to the wrath of Gannondorf to the worse possible fate. Three months ago, Gannondorf allowed most of Lake Hylia to be drained. He had resurrected a fierce monster in Death Mountain recently and it had something to do with the Gorons. Terrible things were happening and Sheik knew that something had to be done.
It wasn't long before she arrived at the Temple Of Time. She had made sure to go on foot from Kakariko Village where she had stayed the last week in preparation for this. Having to move through the streets that were infested with the members of the undead was not a good idea, and even more foolish with a horse. But she managed to arrive at the temple unharmed, but still completely in the dark as to what to expect. She kept her eyes away from all that was around her not wanting to have the face the grim reality of what Gannondorf had done to her homeland. She entered the temple, her blade sheathed and her will ready to do what was needed of her.
She stepped forward past the Spiritual Stones, surprisingly still in place despite the fact the chapel area of the temple was a complete wreak thanks to thieves. She walked through the corridor and into the sword chamber where those two pillars were, nothing could be seen past them. Sheik sighed then suddenly a voice spoke up from all around her "Ah at last you have come." Sheik whirled around drawing her blade, but saw nobody "Who are you?" Sheik asked semi-insistently. The voice chuckled "It is I. The one who made this temple and the sage of light. And you are the one who seeks the divine wisdom. Thus the destined owner of the Excaliber." Zelda looked at the last of the three platforms.
A blade rested there a legendary sword that was known for its presence use of one of Hyrule's most treasured legends. When somebody from another world apparently grew old and could no longer be master of the blade it was handed over to a water spirit that appeared in Lake Hylia. It was given to the royal family and sealed away in the temple of time with the Master Sword and Millennium Saber. It was a fine blade finely accented as a blade of light. The hilt was of blue and gold while the blade was the most grand make of silver. The blade had changed when brought to Hyrule apparently it was made to be wielded by a female warrior.
Sheik didn't know about this as she looked over, those two had been sealed in by pulling the other two swords. Eventually Sheik decided that she had to, she had after all been ordered to by the sage of light. Reaching forward her fingers grasped the blade feeling the finely woven grip and pulled, the thin blade slid out of the stone and she held it up in her right hand. Nothing happened. The only light near her was the glow off of the holy blade. The voice spoke "As it was destined the day of awakening has come. For the trinity to rejoin one another in the world." there was a flash of golden light.
Sheik looked back to see that a man had appeared garbed in brown robes, he possessed white hair and she could feel his power. He reached behind him speaking "Take this young maiden and learn how to use it. For before the damage of this world can be undone you must find the two sister treasures of the Ocarina of Time. Once they have been found and your destiny completed, this world can return to normal." he held out a harp of sorts, it was circular and made of brass. Sheik knew was he spoke of from legends, though the other two cousins of the Ocarina of Time were said to have been taken by the ancient sages so only one key to the sacred realm existed. These were the Harp of the Ages and the Flute of the Seasons. Sheik looked up taking a breath "Tell me what I need to know." she asked pleadingly.
And so the sage did. He told her everything that she would need to share with the two once they emerged. He told her the full story behind the Triforce's split and how she would have to help them. Sheik looked to him "You've been taking care of them for me, eh?" he nodded chuckling. Sheik stepped back towards the main hall "Its getting late in the day I think it's time these boys woke up." she said. The sage vanished again. Now it was just a matter of waiting.
Next Chapter: Destiny of the Awakened
Link and Garen return to find that they have changed greatly in the last seven years of sleep. Sheik and the mysterious Sage of Light share with them what they are ment to do and how they are the last hope for this country.
OOC: ACK! Shortness!
