Sorry I took so long! So many views yet so little reviews. I'm getting a bad case of writer's block too, so give idea's please!

Taking a walk after leaving Marth's place, Roy had time to think about things. 'Hmm. Maybe I was wrong about Marth. He certainly does seem open to new theories. Maybe he would- no, not yet. I'm almost sure he has that bloodline, and Zelda seems to be suspisious. What do I do?' As he pondered this, he unconsiously made his way to the nearby forest when he heard something. It sounded like an ocarina, the melody was really nice and suited the forest greatly. Who was playing it?

Deciding to investigate, Roy headed into the deep forest. He came across multiple clearings, all with beautiful arrays of flowers, until he finally came into what he guessed to be the center. Sitting on a tree stump was Link, eyes closed while he played the music. Nearby was Zelda playing along on the harp making it a duet. Up in a nearby tree, Roy caught the scent another human, though it was well concealed with natural scents.

"That was beautiful." He said as the duet finished. Both Link and Zelda gave a slight jump, obviously just noticing him.

"Thanks Roy. But what are you doing here?" Zelda said quietly after recovering.

"I find it relaxing in forests. It's kind of an instinct for me to come to them. Then I followed the music." Roy said slowly. Suddenly, he thought of the prophecy, In the Sacred Forest the bearer of courage, shall awaken. Could it be one of them?

"You like this song huh? My childhood friend made it." Link said sadly. Did something happen? Suddenly the one hiding in the tree jumped down.

"SHIEK!" Link and Zelda both yelled. Taking advantage of their distraction, Roy put the Iron Sword that had 'magically' appeared in his hand away.

"You know her?" He asked quietly.

"Yeah, my older sister." Zelda sighed. The newcomer had blond hair, but that was were the similarites ended. Her hair was short and a tuft of it almost covered her right eye, which was red. Her body was very muscular, and she had a wise and mysterious air around her. Unlike Zelda's dress, Shiek wore a blue and grey shirt with similarly colored skinny jeans.

"The flow of time is always cruel, It's speed seems different to each person... but no one can change it. One thing that doesn't change with time is the memory of younger days. In order to come back here, play the minuet of forest." Sheik said as she pulled out a harp of her own.

"What are you talking about Shiek?" Link was sounding slightly panicked. Shiek started playing the tune.

"Could she mean..." Roy said aloud, only afterward noticing Zelda's strange gaze.

"Link... we will meet again." Shiek said backing up a little. She threw something that caused a great flash, when it cleared she was gone.

"What was that all about?" Roy asked Zelda.

"I don't know. Shiek's always been strange, but when she started traveling she started going crazy." Zelda said staring where she had been. She dressed like a Shiekiah. Roy thought.

"I got to go. Father will be worried." He said. Link and Zelda exchanged a look as Roy turned away.


"I'm home Father."

"What took you so long? Do you know how worried Ninian was?" Eliwood nearly shouted. Roy could tell by the look in his eye he was about ready to go look for him.

"I could leave if you want." Said a voice Roy didn't expect- Marth.

"It's okay Marth. Roy just has a sense of adventure." Eliwood pinched the bridge of his nose and exhaled loudly.

"Did you forget something Marth?" Roy tilted his head slightly.

"I just wanted to visit. Mr. Pharea is a good friend of mine. Which brings up the question 'Why have I never seen you before then?'" Marth said thoughtfully. Both Roy and Eliwood tensed at those words.

"Well, um, I kinda, um..." Roy mentally cursed at his poor cover.

"How long?" Eliwood asked.

"How long what?" It was Marth's turn to tilt his head.

"How long have you had that question?" Elliwood's voice had gone monotone. He had his guard up.

"About a week." Marth said sheepishly.

"Damn, since I arrived." Roy suddenly said. Both other people looked at him with wide eyes.

"What?"

"I never expected you'd say that." Marth said.

"I taught you better." Eliwood grumbled.

"But what do you mean 'since i arrived'?" Marth asked.

"I mean I wasn't here all year. I only arrived last week."

"But everyone else-"

"Is under a spell so Roy could blend in." Eliwood suddenly cut him off," There is a lot more to us than meets the eye. I hope you could forgive us for keeping secrets." He finished quietly.

"I see. Goodbye, I need time to... process this." Marth said, heading for the door.

"Please don't tell anyone. We have reasons." Roy whispered as he passed. He was answered by a closing door.

"Please forgive us." Eliwood repeated to no one in particular.

"There you are!" Ninian suddenly burst in the house," Where were you Roy?"

"Talking to Link and Zelda. I think one of them may be a part of the prophecy, or both." Roy said, pushing Marth to the back of his mind.

Both his parents gasped.
