A/N- Thank you for the review Keroanne1 and yup, two chapter in a row that was long. Hope this is the third one.
Disclaimer: If I owned Zelda, I would make this story into a game or something.

After saying their farewells in Kakariko village, they headed for the castle for some rest and get their wounds treated. ( Mostly Link and Dem but morely Link.) The Hero, Kai, and Sheik mounted Epona while Dem grew wings that looked a lot like a Keese's and flew there.
" Not to be offensive in anyway, but Kai, you know a lot of strange people." Link said during the quiet ride.
" Yeah I know. I know a guy that wears a green dress and another that wears bandages without any wounds." Kai replied smiling.
" Hey it's not a dress. It's a tunic!" Sheik was too lost in his mind to comment anything. I wonder why there isn't any monsters. The Sheikah thought while the two were fighting.
" Uh huh."
" Hey, your eighteen right? Give some respect to your elders!"
" Pshh, I don't think a year older makes you an elder." Link was about to say something but noticed that they were already in front of the town.
" You can run around until I play your song. Okay?" The horseman kindly whispered in his mare's ear before dismounting her. She nodded, she was very smart for a horse. After everyone was off, she ran for the fields. After crossing the bridge the three were shocked to see four guards on the ground, unconscious, and Dem looking at them like an idiot.
"They started attacking me for no reason." He said with a hint of annoyance in his voice but acting innocent.
"Lets go before more guards come." They passed the crowded market place while Dem and Kai looked at everyone and thing in curiosity. The guard that was protecting the gate to the castle smiled when he saw Link and the prince but it disappeared when he saw the other two. He looked at Sheik in worry, the prince made a small nod saying that they were trusted and will not harm anyone. The guard sighed and opened the gate.
As soon as they went through the doors of the castle, Dem's and Kai's eyes widened in astonishment. There was a red carpet starting to the door and ending a couple of inches in front of a golden chair. The floor where the chair was placed was about a two or three feet higher than the rest and was carpeted. About six people could stand at the raised floor without being squished. They could even add a second chair and four people can still stand there. It looked like there was another room behind the throne. The tile floor was pearl white and well polished. There was a type of long cloth with the hylian symbol on it hanging from the walls with a red purple pattern, there was six on each wall. There was a window on each wall next to the throne. Everything was so clean.
"So you lied to me princess?" The king asked crossing his arms on his chest.
"Lied about what father?" Zelda asked, looking at his personal guard who joined a day later after Sheik and Link left.
" You told me Link went to a dieing relative and Sheik accompanied him. The goddesses told me everything last night in my dreams. Link was a Hero in the past and will be again in the near future! You knew about this so why didn't you tell me!" The princess was about to answer but she heard clanking armor, they looked at the open door to see a guard coming.
" What is it?" The king snapped. The guard stood there for a minute catching his breath.
"My Lord. Link, Prince Sheik, and two other have arrived."
Crud crud crud. They will mess everything up! If that guard is lying I swear I'm going to personally murder him! I have to make all of them leave by tomorrow. But doesn't the Hero have to go to the next temple alone? I should of planned that out. Dang this is some mother- fu-. He noticed that he was the only one left in the room. Gah! Got a run there before someone notices I'm gone.
The four were standing in front of the throne when Zelda came out of one of the two doors next to the windows.
" Sheik, Link!" The princess yelled happily when she saw the two.
"Hi Zelda." Link said. She walked to the other two.
"And who are you two?" She asked politely.
" I'm Kai and this is the Demon Guardian Mask named Dem."
" Yes, I have read about them. Made by the Shadowers correct?"
" Yeah. Oh and uh, can you help my friend here, he's poisoned. Not Dem but, you know."
" Me too. Well I'm not poisoned but I think Sheik here cracked something when he was possessed." Link said looking at the Sheikah with narrowed eyes.
" Of course."
" Judging that we're in a castle and you're wearing a pink dress. You're the princess aren't you?" Kai asked.
"Oh no, she's the janitor." Link answered sarcastically. Everyone laughed softly. The king came out the door that Zelda came from, looking very serious.
"Sheik," The majesty said staying in front of the door." Were you hurt from the last temple?"
" Not really."
"Then come, we need to talk." The blue wearing Sheikah followed him through the door. Impa stopped the door from closing and smiled when she saw the four. She opened her mouth to say something but was interrupted by Link. He's been interrupting people lately.
" You said the monsters in the temple won't attack us. They poisoned the Sheikah and we almost got killed!"
" That's strange, I know that in the Shadow Temple, the monsters would attack you because of the previous sage but the others as well?" Link nodded. " Wait. Poisoned the Sheikah? Sheik? He looked fine."
" The skull looking thing is Dem." Link said pointing to him. The creature looked at him with his eyes narrowed, he doesn't like be referred as 'the skull looking thing'. " The one in the mask is Kai, she said that he was a guardian mask? Well yeah, he's possessing a Sheikah's body."
" I see. What is his name? I might know him." Before Link could answer, Kai covered his mouth.
" Well that's not important, we should help my poisoned friend here. He's probably dieing in there because Dem isn't acting like an alcoholic." She said that like she was trying to hide something. Link looked at her in confusion when she let go of his mouth. She made an I'll-tell-you-later look.
"Alcoholic?" The skull being asked crossing his arms.
"What do you want to talk about?" Sheik asked sitting on a chair.
" It's something important. When you were little, when the queen found you in the middle of Hyrule Fields, I wanted you to become a guard for Zelda. But the Goddesses told me that if you become royalty, you would do something good for these lands. When you grew older, you helped train the guards, you protected Zelda from the Wolfos that attacked her, and your helping the Hero."
"You want me to do more good deeds?"
"No, it's just that….I was planning on making you King." Sheik's eyes widened.
" How about you?"
"I'm getting old, I need someone else to take the throne."
"How about Zelda?"
" The Goddesses said that she was busy being a sage and might get distracted on other things."
" I thought you only become King when your married?" The king laughed.
"Everyone knows that you will never get married. Your too shy to get a girl." The Sheikah flushed and then sighed . "When your twenty, you'll get crowned, one more year."
Sheik got up and went to his own room.
"So Abbreviated is where Sheikahs live." Impa asked putting her hand on her chin.
"Yup." Kai answered. She was sitting on a chair next to a bed where X-Zone lay. She help the guardian mask in her hands. " Anyways, is he going to be okay?"
"Yes your friend will be alright but the after affects of the poison might make him delirious." Kai was about to put the mask back on X-Zone but Impa stopped her. " If possessing a poisonous body make him act like an alcoholic, what will happen if he possess a delirious one?"
" I guess your right. Just make sure no one else is in this room or any weapons."
"Why?"
"Trust me, it won't be good, trust me."
Link lied down on his new bed in his new room. After the King found out he was the Hero, he gave him a room next to Sheik, and Kai got one next to his and so on.
He started to sing.
Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Back to the rule and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow
Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play
Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now but wait 'til you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The waters getting warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire how about yours
That's the way I like it and I never get bored
Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas
I need to get myself away from this place
I said yep what a concept
I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Back to the rule and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't goYou'll never shine if you don't glow
Right after he stopped singing, Kai burst through the door breathing heavily.
"Oh sorry." She said still catching her breath. She closed the door and knocked.
"Uh, come in?" He said sitting up. She opened the door and sat next to him smiling but her eyes were filled with worry. "Is there something wrong?"
"Nope." It didn't sound convincing.
"Okay fine, why did you kick open my door?" Kai opened her mouth to say something but she closed it and looked down.
" I had to tell you something really important but I realized it wasn't." She lied.
"You know, you're really bad at lying." She sighed.
" The goddesses gave me a warning when we were staying at the hotel in Lake Hylian. I cannot tell anyone because it might cause panic. I can only tell you if your the source of the danger." There was silence for a couple of minutes.
" So uh, why did you cover my mouth." Link asked.
" The Sheikah and my village think X-Zone is dead." Silence again. Seconds later the door opened and Sheik went inside. He sat down on a chair that was across from the bed and put his head in his hands.
"So I'm guessing the talk with your father didn't go out well?" Kai asked.
"He's not my real father." He answered with his head still in his hands. Kai looked at Link looking for answers, he mouthed the word 'adopted'.
" What did the king talk to you about?" Link asked changing the subject.
"Nothing."
" Not to be rude but. How does it feel to lose your loved ones?" Kai asked.
" When I found out that my parents died I felt horrible but the worst was losing my best friend , we were like brothers. He had his own brother but I only saw him once, he didn't really like me. After this is all over, Kai, can you take me to Abbreviated to check if they are still alive?" She nodded. The door suddenly opened again.
" Prince Sheik, the king would like you to go the prison room. He wants to show you something." The kings personal guard said.
" The prison room?"
" The kings says you must learn what happens to the prisoners and more." Sheik got up and followed the guard, closing the door behind him. The two that was still in the room stared at it.
"So, Link, happened to your bone that got cracked?"
"Zelda knows magic, she healed it for me."
"Speaking of Zelda, she told me to tell you something." She paused. " You have to go to the next temple alone." Link's eyes widened for a heartbeat or two.
"What's wrong Great Hero? Why so surprised?" Link jumped at the voice, he looked towards the door to see X-Zone. He was leaning on the open door. The holes on his cowl was gone.
" No, nothings wrong. I was just surprised." He lied.
"Well, we were talking all day." Kai yawned looking out the window. " I'm going to bed." She got off the bed and went to her own room.
" Wow night already? I haven't eaten anything yet!" Link thought out loud. X-Zone threw him a bunch of fruits and left. After Link ate all of it like a mad man, he drifted off to sleep.
"Please come with me." The king's personal guard said.
"Why?" Kai asked letting go of her door handle.
" Princess Zelda wishes to speak to you."
"Um.. Okay."
