This chapter is the story that Elder Vadim is telling~

NaviLegacy and msfcatlover told me that P.S stood for post scriptum (msfcatlover said script), or extra information at the end of a letter. I let them in on a secret about Vaati so they know how he's gonna come back! (DUN DUN DUN!) Thanks again for telling me what that meant (I've been wondering for years)!~!

Got this chapter done by 10:35 p.m! Yeah! I'll do lots of writing this weekend (or try at least)~!


This tale has been passed down from Elder to their apprentice's for years. Karin is my apprentice, so it is time he finally hears the tale.

Once the eldest son of the Man of Truth hid himself away, the middle child gained his role as sage and the eldest son lost some of his powers. The youngest child, Vaati was never seen in any kind of light. He hid his skills and many questioned if he even had any. He resembled his eldest brother dearly and that gave the Man of Truth sorrow, which caused him to avoid his youngest son. Vaati was always cold with everyone except for his oldest brother, but now he was gone and Vaati was alone. It was spread that Vaati was trying to find out where his brother had hidden simply because he wasn't seen outside or doing anything physical.

Many years passed in quiet while the eldest son disappeared and hope had long been crushed of him ever returning. Vaati had grown pale and wore clothing much too big for himself, but no one really cared to train Vaati for a fighting position in the clan. Vaati was said to have been useless to the clan except for the reminder of the eldest son; The Greatest Mage and Warrior.

The Man of Truth was trying to teach his middle son the secret techniques of magic that only the Man of Truth's bloodline could learn. The middle child seemed unable to use magic at all, yet at the same time he could hide himself well without the help of magic. The Man of Truth was frustrated with all of his sons at this point and stopped teaching his middle son the ways of magic.

He instead looked upon his youngest son and finally took notice of his secrecy. He hid himself in the house Vaati came to everyday. When Vaati came into the house that day the Man of Truth saw what Vaati had been practicing for all those years since the eldest son left: magic.

The Man of Truth saw how eloquently Vaati had perfected each spell, but it wasn't just regular spells either. Vaati was using some of their family's magic. It was an old rule that the eldest child was the one to use this magic, but Vaati was using it. The Man of Truth had no doubt that the eldest son had taught Vaati before he left. He now knew that since Vaati was using their family's magic, the second born son couldn't use it.

The Man of Truth took hold of this and walked out of hiding. Vaati was ready for any punishment for using the magic whilst it wasn't his, but his father had other things in mind. Vaati became the magical heir while the middle child was the sage of shadows.

This agreement was understood and accepted with the people and family. Vaati took in the new spells he was taught with precision and mastered every one of them. As the Man of Truth began teaching Vaati the more deadly spells the more Vaati enjoyed the sessions. The look Vaati beheld now scared his own father.

The Man of Truth decided that Vaati had learned what he had needed to and sent him away to keep practicing on his own. Vaati was vain about it though. Vaati wanted to learn more, or so he said. It quickly became clear that Vaati had wanted to feeling of power. Vaati confronted his father with his need for power and they only got into an argument.

The Man of Truth would not teach Vaati anything and said that it was a mistake to have taught him any of their family magic. Vaati was greatly angered by this and began getting violent with his father. Vaati had grown immensely strong because of his secret physical training. The eldest son had also taught him with the sword.

Vaati made the Man of Truth fall and declared that the Sheikah should take the Royal Family, burn them only to become rulers of Hyrule. After Hyrule, they would take over the surrounding nations.

The Sheikah understood then that long ago when the Royal Family said that their power could destroy them, they were right. The middle son wasn't able to use magic or a sword very well for that matter, but he was wise.

The middle son confronted Vaati, but Vaati only laughed at his brother who wasn't good for anything. The second born only smiled at his little brother, "But you forget little one. I am the sage of shadows, you are but a mage!"

Vaati realized this and in pure rage at his brother called upon all his power and beckoned for the goddess of power to recognize his own power and grant him the ability of sages.

The goddesses had looked upon the Sheikah with interest for their creation was a complete accident. The goddess of power was said to have scoffed at Vaati, but the goddess of courage looked at him carefully. His power was quite a sight to behold and with the proper essentials he could have been a great man. The goddess of power granted his wish as the sage of wind.

The goddess of wisdom didn't want anything to do with the Sheikah, she was slightly insulted at the fact that we are but a copy of her Hylians with red eyes, but she showed us pity by letting the Sheikah have wisdom born children, or sages. The goddess of wisdom didn't grant Vaati with the usual wisdom that sages possess. In that sense Vaati didn't become a sage, and just gained the tittle Mage of Wind.

Vaati was only granted courage for the power he already possessed and this only helped him become more convinced that he needed to take Hyrule.

This was enough for the sage of shadow to see before calling upon his fellow sages to lock Vaati away. Vaati was trapped in the four-swords which have been warped by time into what you may know to be the Master Sword.

We re-sealed him in stone and buried in the forest where the sage of the forest could keep watch over him and his abilities that were almost identical to hers.


SO? How was it? Please review!~
