I took a deep breath as I took out the giant stone key that we found, "I have a question, if Ganon wants to keep us out of this place so badly, why the hell did he leave the key in this place?" I pushed it into the lock of the final chamber, and turned it.

The lock made a loud noise, signifying that it was coming undone. This was followed by it falling to the ground with a loud clank. Both Link and I took a deep breath at the same time, "Whatever is keeping this place locked down, is behind this door, which means we have to be ready for anything."

"Unlike you, I've trained nearly my entire life under that saying," I told him as I pushed the door up, opening it, "I was expecting something more dangerous," I said as we saw a room with identical paintings on on the walls. I would be lying if I said that it didn't creep me out a little. I took a deep breath as I started walking forward, checking that there was nothing waiting to jump at me from the sides.

After Link walked into the room, the door shut behind us, "A trap?" he asked as he took out his new bow, "You would think they wouldn't make it so obvious," he told me as we got to the middle of the room, our backs facing each other.

I closed my eyes and focused on hearing. I could faintly hear what sounded like a galloping horse, "A horse?" I asked as I opened my eyes. In the painting I saw a man riding a horse running at us, and getting bigger, "I hate magic," I said as the man jumped out of the painting and charged at us.

I pushed Link to the side, and dodged the opposite way just enough that the only damage I sustained was to my weak arm, "Damn, that was close," I said as I looked over to Link, "Try using your bow to hit him off the horse." I looked at my arm to see the extent of the damage, and cursed as I noticed that it was bleeding profusely. I closed my eyes, and started to focus on healing when I heard the horse's galloping come closer.

I dodged again, this time not taking any damage from the man's trident, "Leave me the frike alone!" I shouted summoning my sword and throwing it at him. I smiled as it was heading dead on with his chest, only to be mortified when he caught it by the blade and made to throw it at me.

The only thing that stopped him was an arrow from link flying into his arm and throwing him off the horse, "Remember how I owed you?" Link asked as he started running at the shadow with his shield out.

Our enemy got up fast, letting us get a clear look at him for the first time, "Looks like Ganon," I said to myself as I watched him throw his trident at Link, hitting his shield away. I knew what he was going to do next, and held out my hand, summoning my sword to my hand, before throwing it again. This time my sword hit its mark, and pierced threw the shadow Ganon's chest, driving him to the ground.

"You still owe me asshole," I told Link as I watched both my sword and shadow Ganon disappear, though for different reasons.

"Worthless creation," a voice rang through the room, revealing that Ganon had in fact counted on us being killed by his shadow.

"Why don't you fight us like a man?!" I shouted, though got no reply, "That man has no honor, and he calls himself a king. Ha, I know Loftwings that would make better sovereigns," I huffed as I saw a blue light appear on the floor, indicating that it was time to leave.

"A friend awaits you," the voice of our resident Sheikah told us, "Hero of time, I suggest you go see her. You probably have much to talk about."

"Sheik, how long have you been here?" I asked as I walked towards her, my vision getting a little blurry, "What?" I asked as I looked at my arm, "Oh, right... I'm wounded..." The last thing I saw before I blacked out, was Sheik running towards me as I fell down.

Two Year earlier

Hyrule fields just outside of Kakariko village.

I groaned as Zelda wrapped a bandage around my arm, "You need to take better care of yourself. If every time you go out to train you come back with wounds as deep as this, I don't think you'll have a very long lifespan." She made sure to pull the cloth extra tight around my arm, just to make a point.

"Hylia damned woman, are you trying to cut off circulation to my arm?" I asked as I turned my head towards her, "It isn't my fault that I get wounds this deep, unlike you, Impa doesn't hold back and is legitimately trying to kill me."

Zelda sighed as she took a deep breath, "She doesn't let me off light," her tone said that she didn't believe it herself, but there was no denying that because she was the princess, she got special treatment, "I'm just better at not getting hurt..." she took another deep breath, and shook her head, "For fucks sake, you're right. I get special treatment..."

"Look who's picked up cursing," I said as I patted her on the shoulder with my good arm, "How about I help you, what Impa lacks in your training, I'll make up for in sparring matches. My old instructor told me that the best way to train is to battle, because battle works out every muscle you need for battle."

"Why would you do that?" Zelda asked me as she widened her eyes in shock, "I mean, you already train hard enough as it is. Why would you spar with me on top of that?"

"Because, where I'm from, it doesn't matter your blood or heritage, if you want to learn how to fight you are taught how to fight," I smiled as I stood up, "as soon as this heals up, we'll have our first sparring match, "and second of all, one thing you'll need to do is change what we call you. If we call you Zelda in public, it might give it away that you are royalty."

"What do we call me then? It isn't like I can just change who I am, that would require powerful transformation magic and currently the only one that is possibly capable of it is you."

"Yeah, it seems that Impa is trying to hone my skills in that type of magic as well, so I'll give you a new name and a new body," I joked as I began laughing, then silenced, "How about Sheik? You are learning the ways of the Sheikah, so I think it fits."

"That sounds like a man's name," Zelda complained before shaking her head, "if you think that's a good name for me, than I'll take it."

I smiled as I stood up and started walking back up the steps to Kakariko village, "Come one, Sheik, we don't want our master to punish us for being late for dinner again.

I'm not sure about this chapter, the first part was okay. But the second part is meh to me, it didn't really stand out. I contemplated just scrapping it and doing a different scene, but I wrote it so I might as well put it out to see what you guys think of it.
