"Russ . . . Russ? ...Russ, wake up you idiot!" yelled Chino.
Russ opened his eyes, blinked twice, and fell back to sleep murmuring: "No mom. Five more
minutes . . . "
"Hey! I said wake up!" said Chino, Russ kept snoring.
Chino starred at him for a while and then punched him in the head.
"Owww! Dammit Chino! ..." Russ said, rubbing his head.
Russ sat up and looked at Chino.
He starred at him for a couple of seconds before he exclaimed: "holy shit"
"I didn't know shit could be holy." Said Chino
"Y-your grown up." Russ said, pointing at Chino.
"How the hell did you grow up so fast?" said Russ
"I don't know, but you did to"
Russ jumped up and ran over to a window and starred at his reflection.
"Shocking, isn't it?" asked Chino, while walking up to Russ
"Damn . . . " said Russ.
"Yeah, that's what I said"
"I look good!" shouted Russ
Russ put his left hand on his hip where his sword would be, but all that was there was a, slightly
larger, empty sheath!
Russ spun around yelling: "Where's my sword!" and almost instantly one landed in the round
between his feet!
Russ grabbed the handle and pulled the blade free of the ground.
"What? ..This isn't my sword!" said Russ.
"That would be the Sword of Fire my friend." Came a voice from the shadows.
"Who's there!"yelled Chino.
He pulled his bow off his shoulder and drew out an arrow, ready to shoot.
"Fear not." Suddenly a young woman wearing shining white armor walked out of the shadows.
She had rapped her hair up in a turban so that you cold not see it and a cloth covered the lower
half of her face.
The only thing you could tell about her, was that she was very well proportioned and had blue
eyes, hers were slightly lighter then Chino's
"I am Sheik, "she said "I'm last of the Sheikah and friend of Princess Zelda"
Sheik then walked up to Chino and grabbed his chin with her pointer finger and thumb.
She then turned his face in different directions examining him, and then let go and said"You
must be Chino . . . "
Sheik starred at him for a while then turned and walked exactly five feet away, counting her step,
and turned to face the two.
"So, you Two are the ones who'll save this land of Hyrule? ...or maybe."A knife suddenly
appeared in her hand and as quick as lightning, tossed it straight at Russ!
The knife then suddenly stopped two inches from his face,The knife had been caught in-
between his middle and pointer fingers!
"How did you-?" Russ threw the knife at Sheik before she could finish.
It flew right by her cheek and stuck in the stone wall behind her!
A small scratch appeared on her cheek and a drop of blood ran down her face.
She wiped it off with the back of her hand.
She starred at the blood and then said "I see . . . "
"Wait a minute! Where's the Master Sword?"asked Chino
"Huh?"Sheik hadn't been listening, "oh! ...the Master Sword? Well . . . It's here, but it isn't
here"
"Ok . . . "Russ looked confused.
"Well . . . you see there was going to be only One Hero of Time but you Both Pulled the Master
Sword out of its pedastle so you two made it that there is now Heroes of Time"
"So Senses there are two of you, The Sages Spited the Master Sword in Two Making the Sword
of Fire and The Sword of Light . . . "
"Why . . . Why in the world would, they do that."Said Chino
"You see only Someone who proves they can use The Master Sword Can use it and both of You
prove you can but like I Said before there are Two of You
And it would be hard for you two to fight with only One Sword . . . So the Sages Spite the Master
Sword in Two"
"Ok."Said Russ
"Then Where is The Sword of Light." Said Chino
Sheik pointed at Chino."You got it." Chino blinked a couple times.
"What do you mean? I don't have a sword, Damn! I don't even carry one"
Russ tapped him on the shoulder.
"Uh, Chino"
"What"
"Check your back"
Chino turned his head as far as he could and he saw the handle of a sword.
He then reached back, grabbed it, and unsheathed it.
He held it in his hand, he tossed it back and forth between his hands, then, amazed at his new
found skills, spun the sword around a couple times.
"Since when could I do this?"Chino asked excitedly, still playing with the sword.
"Throughout the period that you two were frozen in time, the Legendary Sages filled your minds
with knowledge and skills." Sheik answered
"Sweet!"said Russ, who was watching Chino and obviously hadn't heard her.
"Although each of you has a lot of maturing to do." Sheik said.
Russ and Chino took turns trying out different things with their swords, Sheik finally got
impatient and yelled"Dammit you immature brats! Stop playing with your damn
Swords and listen to what I have to say"
Russ and Chino, who are now scarred stiff, both stuttered a weak "yes ma'am"
Sheik spent the next two hours explaining how all of this came to be . . .
"After Zelda escaped the wrath of Ganondorf, everything went downhill.
That evil man took over the land, turning all most all good into evil!
In a storm of fire and brimstone, he took Hyrule Castle and the rest of Hyrule soon followed.
The Legendary Sages were able to escape with you two to this Temple, known as the Temple of
Sages"
"It still looks like the Temple of Time to me." Interrupted Russ
"This is but the first floor." Stated Sheik, "There are at least nineteen more above you . . . I
haven't even been in all of then . . . "
"This thing is twenty stories high?" Echo yelled Chino
"Yes, now if I can continue . . . eh-hem. This tower is now surrounded by a magical barrier that
hides it in a spiritual plain." Sheik got tired of standing and sat down,
"Ganondorf had found the Temple one year ago.
He attacked with even more power then when he attacked Hyrule Castle.
The Legendary Sages used what power they had left to hide this Temple, they tried to flee, but
Ganondorf wiped their minds clean of all memories"
"They soon went mad . . . and committed suicide . . . "Sheik shuttered.
Unknown to Russ and Chino, she had witnessed their last acts.
"So what? A bunch of old people went loony. What does it matter to us?"asked Russ.
"...What does it matter? ...WHAT DOES IT MATTER! It matters because they were the only
ones that could destroy the barrier around Ganondorf's Castle"
Sheik began to hit Russ in the head.
"Ow, ow, ow, s-s-sor-or-ry! Ow, ow, ow"
Chino grabbed her hand and said."When, Your finished pummeling Russ can you tell me if there
is any other way to break down the barrier?"Sheik starred at Chino for
Awhile.
"Yes, yes there is,"Chino let go of her hand.
She quickly put both of them behind her back, and unbeknownst to Chino she blushed slightly.
"Well? How?"asked Chino.
Sheik walked over to where Chino had been laying, bent down, and picked up a small golden
medallion.
"You must collect all six of the medallions to be able to enter his fortress"
So far, She tossed the medallion to Russ, who was recovering from her last attack, who caught it
and began to examen it
"That is the Medallion of Light"
"There are five more: the medallion of the forest, of fire, of water, of spirit, and shadow, once
collected you will be able to enter Ganondorf's Castle
Like I was saying: so far you only got one.
"So where are the others then?".Asked Russ, who tossed the medallion to Chino.Chino also,
began to examen it.
"Something tells me it isn't gonna be easy finding them." Chino said.
"You're right." Replied Sheik, "There's one in each of the Sacred Temples"
"The Forest Temple.Fire Temple, Water Temple, Spirit Temple and Shadow Temple . . . You
will go through great perils and long, and tiering travels"
"Only the bravest and most powerful of few can handle this task. Are you two up to it"
Chino tossed the medallion back to Russ and said."Of cause we are! An army of stalfos couldn't
stop us! ...And I'm a master archer, what'da ya'think a'that"
Russ put the medallion in his pocket and stood up with a smug look on his face, he said."Russ
Eczaybier, master swordsman and the savior of Kokori Village, I'm your
Man"
Sheik looked down at the floor, "Very well . . . "She looked back up at the two and thought.
They're both so eager, so energetic . . . Just how I remembered them.
"I know where the Forest Temple is." Said Russ."But I have no clue where the other four are"
"Well I guess we're set for two then." Chino spoke up, "I know where the Fire Temple is"
They both looked at Sheik.
"Well?",They asked in unison.
Sheik had an innocent look in her eyes.
"I'll tell you once you get the Fire Medallion . . . hehhe"
Russ leaned over to Chino.They both had the same. : Sure..You do look: on their faces. Then
they both whisper."She doesn't know either"
Sheik heard them and got mad(Sheik hit Russ and Chino in the head over and over and over)
