(Author's note: Sorry! I know it's been a while, but I've been really busy with school and stuff. I feel like you all will really like this chapter, as this is where it's really going to start going off the rails 😊.

I do not own the Legend of Zelda. If I did, it would probably not be as good as it is today)

Link ran. There hadn't been a Lynel this close to Kakariko Village last time, had there? There was no time to think, the White Lynel was closing in. He braced himself for death, his eyes squeezed shut, uttering one last prayer to the goddesses. No death came.

Slowly, he cracked one eye open. A ninja stood over him, with a black bodysuit, a long blonde ponytail, and white wrappings around his head and arms. Link watched at the Lynel reared, only momentarily confused and off put by the appearance of this stranger. It swung its sword again, but the ninja had already thrown a Deku Seed at the ground, absconding from the battle and taking the hero with him.

Before Link could thank the mysterious ninja, he vanished into smoke. Coughing, Link cleared the smoke from his face, and realized he was safe in Kakariko Village. He looked around, and deduced that the best thing to do first was to meet with Impa. So, he headed up the stairs to her house.

As he was about to open the door, it swung open on its own. "Welcome, Link. I have been expecting you." Link stepped in, happy to hear Impa's voice. "I hear you had a run in with our guardian spirit" The confused look on Link's face must have given him away, as the old lady smirked.

"We call him Sheik. He has been defending this village ever since the evil known as Calamity Ganon destroyed Hyrule Castle. He appears when the village needs defending and disappears before anyone can utter a word to him. Unfortunately, it seems that even his abilities can't take down a White Lynel."

Link felt shocked. This had never happened the first time around. It was time to get to the bottom of this. And it seemed the best way to do that was to beat the Lynel.

(End of Chapter Five! I told y'all it would go off-rails)
