Sheik had all of his supplies ready, and nightfall had just ascended upon the Sheikah village. Luckily for him, everyone who was able to attend was at the celebration of the princess's birth. As security guards, of course.
Since there seemed to be no need to ascend toward the gates as he was doing so. He walked by Riko's house, which was abandoned. He probably was thrilled to be serving for the Royal Family for the short time he was able to do so. He had always called Sheik 'strange' and could never understand why he didn't want to serve the Family. But, it was just that Sheik couldn't just kill someone from just because someone told him to. He would only do so if he had a motive.
A man had attacked him once, but he only injured the man so he could escape. He only wanted to kill only if absolutely necessary.
But, he had to get to the matter at hand. But he couldn't help but to still wonder about the Triforce that often appeared on the back of his hand. It was…troubling to him. For, what could it possibly mean? His father told him that the bearers of the Triforce would often have the symbol appear on their hands. But that wasn't possible.
And once again, he his mind began to wander elsewhere. The gates were plainly in sight, and his mother had the unicorn's reins in a death-grip. Tears threatened to form at her eyes.
(Sheik's POV)
(A/N: Or point of view. Either way.)
Mother handed me the reins of the stallion, and embraced me tightly. Yes, I was leaving. But, how long would I have to be away?
"Sheik, the stallion's name is Silver Wind. The fastest unicorn we have left. But, no matter what happens, just promise me to never give up on life," a tear streaked down her cheek "No matter how dark it is, there is always light. Don't ever forget our ways…"
"Mother, how long must I be away?" She only seemed to be saddened by this even more.
"I don't know, Sheik. It's just that-" a guard from the Royal Family stormed in, interrupting whatever she was about to say."So you're the one who was going to escape? It's a good thing you were here to tell me." And behind him was …. Impa. She betrayed us…
"Sheik! Please leave now!" Mother screamed frantically.
I saddled the Silver Wind as fast as I could. As I reached for her hand, but the guard just tore her away from my reach.
"Sheik!"
Silver Wind raced out of the village, as I watched the guard murder my mother…
I heard her blood curdling scream as I raced through the graveyard that linked the village of Kakariko and ours.
She was gone forever …. 'What could I have done to stop this? What?' My mind screamed over and over. I didn't even try to stop the tears from falling. After Father was gone, she was the only one I could depend on. She always supported me no matter what I did, and I would never see her again.
I was so torn inside. I had no where to go. I had never been anywhere outside the graveyard. So I just ridded aimlessly through the night. I was just over-come with grief. There was no one to tell me that everything was going to be all right, or to say that it was all just a dream. It was just too real. I just wanted to run away from everything.
I slowed Silver Wind down as we entered the town of Kakariko. All the houses had their lights out, and it seemed deathly quiet. There was a well in the middle of town, and it was the only place I found suitable for resting.
(End of POV)
Silver Wind lay beside Sheik, who just stared sorrowfully into its depths. The image of the guard murdering his Mother was still as fresh as ever in his mind. Sheik skimmed his hand along the water's surface, wishing he were back in his bed with his Mother there to comfort him.
Then it hit him, why would the Royal Family need the entire Sheikah race to help protect the princess when they already had an army of their own? They had no more use for the Sheikahs ever since they gained so many troops, and the only thing left was to dispose of them.
He attempted to mount Silver Wind once more, for he just might be able to stop his entire race from being killed. He had the training, and if he went as fast as possible, he just might be able to get there in time. But an icy voice stopped him in his tracks.
"Sheik, why the long face?"
He turned around to the voice's source, "You…you killed our mother…. Why? Why did you do such a thing?"
"It was only necessary to proceed with the plan…"
"What plan?" He questioned.
"Oh, dear brother, I'm sure you already know…" Her gaze turned murderous, almost sick with the thought of death, with a smirk spreading across her face.
"But, then again, you may not know the whole truth…" Her hand went behind her back, and clutched the hilt of her dagger.
Sheik's eyes grew slightly wide at her actions, and he knew that she was going to try and kill him next.
"And I can't afford for you to figure that out!" She ran towards Sheik with her dagger pointing menacingly at him. Silver Wind reared in fright and ran off into the night, leaving Sheik behind.
Each time Impa attempted to slash him with the dagger, he barely dodged. She every time Sheik dodged, though, he kept on backing up. The speed she was going at gave him no time to pull out any weapon, or escape in any way, shape, or from. Then, he felt his back touch the well's rim. Now, Impa had a clear shot to kill him.
She smiled with the dagger over her head, waiting for the perfect moment. But, sheik lost his balance, falling into the water and to the bottom of the well. As he drifted down, Impa had a frown on her face, but it was soon replaced with a smirk once again. The light that had been shining from the moon into the well was then covered with a stone block, with no escape in sight out of the well.
Sheik was running out of air, and hit the cold and dark bottom of the well when a blue light surrounded him. He could hold his breath no longer, when he realized he could breathe. Though, a light was coming from the back of his hand, again. The Triforce gleamed brightly and soon faded when the blue light disappeared. The well was lit with sunlight now, allowing him to float to the top.
He threw his arm over the rim, and gasped for air. He rubbed his eyes, and saw that he wasn't in Kakariko anymore.
I moved my story to the Inuyasha section, hoping that I'd get more reviews. There'll be a character appearance next chapter.
