Introduction:
It had been three hundred years since we were abandoned by the Hero. Three hundred years since the last stand against evil had seemingly prevailed. It was said that when he left, he rode into the sunset. Some said he was a man, and other started to claim he was a myth. Rumors about him had been spread far and wide; his name became a legend in children's stories. His face was soon forgotten by the Hylian people, and of the Zoras. The Gorons had made his name honorary and the hero lived in their myths to and even that faded with time.
"The flow of time is always cruel... Its speed seems different for each person, but no one can change it..."
I know these lines well; you could say I know them intimately. These were the lines that the young Sheik warrior had spoken to the Hero at the Forest Temple all those years ago. It was the beginning of a journey that changed the world, and sealed away a great evil.
Yes Time is cruel. For us the seal on him had been broken, and our land became a wasteland of fear. We watched from the shadows as atrocities were made before our eyes by Moblin hoards. We scoffed at our world, at our sister Hylian Race that now looked for the Hero after having the gall to forget him. We knew though that now after fifty years of reigning as the Dark One, Ganondorf has not yet found the other parts of the triforce, that somewhere the Hero and the Princess are alive. That is enough to spark hope. With eyes to the future we trained once again a young one in our ways after being contacted by the spirit of Ordona; the boy lives.
We will provide his next guide. It is time for a new world, a better world. A world of light for our sister race and the others dwelling in Hyrule. Our kind may be sacrificed but as long as the 'Greater Good' is accomplished, and peace returns to our divided land... we the Shadow Folk will continue to be strong while the rest of the world can't. We are a dying race but we will never fail.

Plot/Information:
A basic adventure of a hero and his guide. When X( But what exactly was he fighting for?
As for the Shadow Guide, the beast had cursed him with something foreign to the land but the Sheikah know it well. He was touched by the Twilight. If By the end of summer the Dark King wasn't destroyed and Twilight wasn't pushed back, the Warrior would be forced from the Realm of Hyrule into the land of the Twilight, never to see the sun of Hyrule again.
Would that be enough to fight for?
Will this adventure lead a Sheikah to truly accept his feelings for the Hero or remain a Shadow. Will this Adventure change a boy into a Hero and earn him a friend that the world doesn't even know exists?
Will the two find common ground and end the evil in Hyrule or will it crumble into Ganon's Domain? Only Time will tell.
Plot/Information:
The Sheikah Guide will often be watching over the Hero and at times will appear to him in guidance, but since the Ordon accident the Sheikah is prone to staying closer to the Hero and guiding him with his voice through trials. He will always be with the hero. He is also seemingly the only person to have faith in the Hero, as are the ways of his kind.
The Hero should be someone who is good natured and courageous. He should be a person who does not see people as black and white and should be somewhat innocent in that manner. He should have kind of a scattered sense of duty, always wanting to help everyone out at once. At the same time he should be a bit more edgy, passionate, and sarcastic. He should not want to be a Hero at all. He is the lively Character.
Since Ganon's awakening, the Gorons and the Zoras have gone to war, and the Gerudos have become pushier about their land. They refuse the edge into Hyrule but refugees will not go to the desert because of the nightmarish Women. They love their king, but will bow to any man who can defeat their leaders in a challenge.
I have crossed the OoT areas with the TP areas, this gives us more places, more evil, and more stuff. The Kokori is located east of the Temple of Time in the deepest woods. The Ice Cavern will be in Snow Head... Hidden of course. And yes there are three fairy fountains that will be somewhere. Here's the list of where and what you get:
Sacred Forest meadow: Farore's wind Death Mountain Crater: Din's fire City of the Sky: Naryu's Love
The Warping will be done with songs. Here is the list:
Sacred Forest meadow: Minuet of the Forest Temple of Time: Prelude of Light Death Mountain Crater: Bolero of Fire Graveyard in Kakariko: Nocturne of Shadow Zoras Domain: Lullaby of Ancients (Lake Hylia: Serenade of Water Desert Colosus: Requiem of Spirit City in the Sky: March of the Sky (< also made that up)
Event Songs:
Kokori's Jig: Saria's song Zelda's Lullaby Goron's festival: Goron's theme because its fun. Song of the Sun: Changes Night to Day, Day to Night. Speeds up time. Song of Time: Be useful in the Temple of time to summon aid from the statues or to get into secret places in the Temples. Eponas Song Sheikah's Waltz: Something I made up for a bonding experience.
All the temples have some evil in them. I have a list:
Starting with the Forest areas:
1. Deku Tree: Will not be able to be faced until after most of the temples have been fought and dealt with, this monster is one of Ganon's twilight beasts which mean that the Sheikah Guide will have to face it when the curse is strong enough on him. There will be three places like this. Will receive Healing Tome and second twilight attack.
2. Forest Tree: TP Temple and you will recieve a boomerang
3. Forest Temple: This will actually be the OoT Temple instead of the TP one, because Saria's is cooler. You will receive a Fairy Bow here.
4. Temple of Time: You get the Dominion Rod. Like in TP You also get the mastersword from here!
Kakariko:
1. Shadow Temple: You get Light Arrows here and learn from your Guide the ability to see the truth without the lens of truth. Second clue for the Guide's cure. The Guide should not know about the clues.
2. Sheikah Burial grounds: This is where another Twilight Monster will be dwelling. This should be the first to be dealt with as it is the weakest due to the Sheikah seals to ward off monsters or people from their land. The Sheikah Guide will need some reason to do this. Will receive Sheikah's Chained whip and the first of three twilight attacks.
3. Elder Grave: A series of caves that at the end have a Hook Shot in the casket of the Elder.
Death Mountain:
1. Goron Mines: You obtain Bombs, and the friendship of the gorons and a Goron's tunic.
2. Fire Temple: You receive Megaton Hammer
Zora's Domain/Snow Peak:
Ice Cavern: Holds the third of the twilight beasts and the strongest by far of the three. This one will have to be dealt with right before the battle with Ganondorf. Will receive third twilight attack, and the ability of sacrifice.
Snow Peak Manor: Ice Arrows, and a clue to find a cure for the Guide. He should not know the hero has found a clue. Also receive silver Gauntlets.
Lake Hylia:
1. Water Temple: You get Long shot here.
Desert:
1. Arbiter's: Smaller Temple of the Gerudos, originally a place that held trials for Hyrules worst offenders. Will receive the Spinner here and a run in with a twilight being who will let the Hero know of the Guide's fate should something not be done soon you will receive from him an enchantment to stem the growth of the curse so that the Guide may live past Ganon's reign to be cured.
2. Desert Colosus: Where you will find the mirror of the twilight, from here the twilight world can be reached when asked upon by the sages. This is the only place where a cure can be given to the Guide by one of Midna's descendants. This should be found after the Ice Cavern defeat, and City in the Sky.
3. Cave of Ordeals: It is here that you can bring Fairies into the world again. They will appear at every spirit fountain which are found in every province. You must fight with your Guide through fifty levels of evils with only what you enter with. Every ten Levels a seal of protection is placed upon a different area. This will keep stray monsters from wrecking more havoc.
4. Gerudo Fortress: It is here that you receive the Golden Gauntlets as well as free reign of desert travel.
5. Spirit Temple: Receive the mirror Shield here.
City in the Sky:
Temple of the Sky: Receive the Double hook Shot.

Rules:
1. Pm your Profile to me. It would be helpful if you could name it something interesting.
2. Do NOT Cyber. It is not allowed on Gaia and it is NOT allowed here. As I am responsible for you actions in my rp as its creator, you need to courteous enough to be responsible for yourself.
3. I will not tolerate misconduct of any kind.
4. Please follow the Literate level, I work hard on my posts. Not for you but for me, however when rping with someone who doesn't give a damn, it's hard to stay consistent. Please put work into your posts and make them meaningful.
5. As this is an advanced Rp, I do not expect to see chat speak, or bad spelling. I use spell check so can you.
6. Grammar mistakes are okay by me so long as the rp makes sense. I know I am horrible with grammar and I did the Ap class for it and passed. Don't see how I swung that.
7. Keep in mind the plot and places and make it happen. I only set up a guideline of things to do, but I wouldn't mind deviating from that. Side adventures are always prominent in Zelda. You get lots of useful stuff from that and it could help character development. So let's make it happen.
8. Keep in mind your character role, and personality. Culture differences between characters can cause conflict but eventually lead to understanding. It is imperative that you continue down your character's thought process instead of your own. If you do that then you have a true character and not an OOCed type of thing going on. It's like acting, you do NOT break character unless it is driven by an event. Events often change people so let's make it happen.
9. No Godmoding, not even the bad guys. You can hit and be hit, you can dodge but not every time. This is why you have a buddy beside you. To fight back when you get killed. Just kidding, but keep in mind that there is more than just you in the rp.
10. I often get busy sometimes so I know what it's like to not be able to get on. As the thread leader, please let me know. That way I am not on you about it. It also is the courteous thing to do, so I'm not waiting up on you to post.
11. Put a heart at the bottom of your profile with the sentence: Let me save you. This way I know you read my rules properly and fully understand their meaning.
12. Please let me know if I do something wrong. I'm human just like you so let's look out for each other okay?
13. Have fun.

Profiles:Username:Character Name:Age:Race:Weapon:Biography:Personality:Special:[imgleft]http://[/imgleft] [b]Username:[/b] [b]Character Name:[/b] [b]Age:[/b] [b]Race:[/b] [b]Weapon:[/b] [b]Biography:[/b] [b]Personality:[/b] [b]Special:[/b] Username: Spontanious Alias Character Name: Jan Ahle Ank'heln Age: 19 Race: Sheikah Weapon: Dual weapons, or smaller throwing projections. Biography: There is no such thing as Affection in our tribe. Jan was born on a night when Kakariko had come under siege... again. His tribe had fought away the invaders but his mother who went into labor was not so lucky. She and the Elder were locked away in the Sheikah Burial grounds which were only safe in the ceremony rooms. It was in the Grave room of the guides that he was born and his mother passed on from a wound she had taken on the way through the town. He was left parentless when his father was killed by the beasts that had left almost as soon as they had come. A parentless Sheikah was not meant to have guidance, but his mother had been wise in naming him before she passed. He was then passed from one household to another learning various Sheikah secrets. It should have been no surprise that he was the candidate for the Hero's Guide. At the age of fourteen he had been summoned into the Shadow temple where the sage stood upon her pedestal and tested him. It was a grueling few hours but his seventh sense was intact and his reflexes quick and agile. He was as all Sheikah children, cold and battle ready. His body had been tortured just so he would understand and tolerate the pain of defeat. So he knew what it would be like in the future of war. That was when he was finally assigned his Duty; his life. He was to Guide the Hero of Time, and he was to leave in two years to watch over the younger man. To make sure nothing befall him before it was his time. He was to become a Shadow to the Hero, and likewise fade into time when the battles were won. As A Sheikah he would not appear in legends of the Hero, their kind was not meant for the light. He spent the next years learning the songs and warping to different areas. He became familiar with the terrains of Hyrule, no matter how many scars had set into the land. His drive was that one day there would be Peace. One day there would be faith, and that hope kept him going when he thought he could not continue. His people were made of Hope, for that was the only thing they were allowed. A week before he left for the Ordon province, he was brought into the ceremony. He was sixteen now, and his body was lean and compact as it should be. There he knelt before an alter of their weeping eye, and for the Goddesses as his witnesses he pledged his life, his blood, and his bone to the Hero. He wasn't aware that that night he had sworn himself away to the man; that the Hero would come to hold all of him as he would. He left for Ordon the next day, and for two more years he watched the Hero. He watched him train with the village swordsman, and he watched him heard goats. Most importantly he watched him develop. With a critical eye he doubted that the boy could become a Hero. A Year later, on the second quarter moon of that year, it struck. The darkness that was unleashed upon this world. Personality: As a Sheikah he is an upstanding one, who is very intact with the Shadow Folk ways. He locks his emotions away and never releases them. With a sense of indifference to his kind and others he saves himself from the pain of losing those he loves. He believes strongly in the legends of old and believes that he must not feel things for people. He doesn't think much of his own self worth and has a strong sense of duty. He is loyal and persistent; He is cold and yet inside very passionate. He is timid, and isn't readily talkative, he answers things as bluntly and clipped. He does not play around the bush. He is submissive and hasn't exactly spent much time with people so he is awkward in the sense of actually traveling with another. Special: He is gifted with eyes that can see through illusions and traps. He can also see and communicate with spirits. He has some skills with sealing beasts. Username: Zylver the Dragon Character Name: Haleth Age: 21 Race: Hylian Weapon: Preferring long swords, I'm also skilles with scythes and long rods Biography: I've been always alone, my only family being the people which addopted me after my parents and family risked their lives to protect the village where we lived during a moblin attack when I was so small. The people that adopted me were goat shepperds and farmers, so although they loved me kindly, I always preferred to be on the mountains with the goats... they were less picky than the kids around town. Personality: Kind and attentive, I always feel the need to help others, but when the idiotic people pick on me or others, sometimes.. well, always... my mouth is my loss.... so I involve in fights form time to time. I feel free on the mountains with the goats that have grown with me, which I always tended. I'm shy around other people my age, but never known what love is... althoug some girls tried to hook me.... and my adoptive parents also try and find me a good woman to be with and give them grandsons. but well.. not interested. so, in resume: kind and attentive, and quite impulsive, shy and a little bit of a lone wolf Special:I like music and exercising when out in the mountains, making myself flutes and simple wood weapons like wood swords and carved long rods.

It was getting later upon the land, and Ordon was thriving in it with it's rush of people hoping to make it home before dark. Not one though, a being who sat upon the grass, and gazed into the sky as he always had. It had been this way for awhile, for the second year of his life that he had devoted to watching the boy below him. The red headed figure had no idea of his destiny, and he was hardly Hero material. He was so childish and timid that there must have been a mistake, but the Sheikah could see it, the power radiating from his hand... there was denying the boy. He was The Hero of Time, a legend that had faded into dust. A memory which no one dared to recollect. It seemed the only people who truly knew of the kingdom's fate were almost extinct. The Sheikah were a proud and noble race, and to say it in a term to where most could understand it, they were the sacrificial lambs of the godesses. They were the race that fought time and again to keep Hyrule for their sister Race of Hylians. They were the shadows in which the world of Hyrule knew not of and yet time and again the Sheikah would lead the Hero, aid the races, and renew hope in the hopeless of Hyrule. They were the ones who were strong, because the rest of Hyrule were not. From his perch high into the moutain's pass, which was deep into the lower areas of Ordon, and the ending of Hyrule, for beyond that was sea, that the crimson gaze watched his charge carefully. He was cold and indifferent to the boy, and that had not changed. He was truly just disgusted by the lack of seriousness in Ordon. Didn't they know what had become of Hyrule?! Didn't they know? He felt no rage over the issue, and the disgust soon faded to apathy. The Sheikah were not bound to emotions, for is they were... perhaps they would have held a much kinder past. It was almost time... The Hero had no more time in this place where he had grown up in. It was coming to an end and the Sheikah knew it. His job would begin at sundown, at twilight. He could hear the spirits moaning in pain as the force came through the upperwoods, and for many nights he had listened to the aches of the inner forest sanctum. The most uncharter lands of Hyrule. It was here that the Kokori remained still ever childlike, and past that the forest meadow... and the deepest reaches... were the Sheikah grounds, a place where he knew eventually The Hero would see. Harleth would have to face the tasks coming... and axiety filled Jan. The Hero was hardly ready... But then it faded as quickly as it had come. He was the Hero of Time, this was a test. Of course Jan couldn't understand the pain the Hero would endure, by having to leave his life behind. To watch as darkness consumed it, and further to encounter the mess of Hyrule. The boy was so innocent... Jan knew that by the time this ended that he would either be broker or slightly damaged. It was not a promising road ahead and Jan shifted noislessly and watched below him at the figure. Jan never got to close, he never had been spotted or noted, and for the past two years he had loyally watched the boy. Something with so much light in it. He was the exact opposite of Jan, he was the world's only shred of hope. The light in this dark, dark world.

Only when stars started showing in the bluish-crimson sunset sky and the night breeze started ruffling the high grass he used to get up from his favourite spot on the whole mountains, under the shadow of a big and ancient tree that when fall came dressed its leaves in the same colour of his own hair. The goats were still grazzing happily, scattered on the field. He then stretched and wiped all lazynes from his bones, and ran downfield whistling loudly. The goats followed him down the fields and to the town, which lights were starting to shine bright in the windows and where the chimneys of the homes steamed thin white smoke charged with the delicious smells of dinner. He was hungry. He had forgotten yet again to bring something to eat from homs, but well, he had managed to pick some wild fruits... although there were few left in the branches. He arrived quite quickly to the town, he knew those fields and its ways like he knew the lines of his hand or the scars that were on his left tigh from that time when being him a kid he fell from the upper branches of that same tree under which he was sitting as he tried to return a chick to its mommy's nest. The goats followed him into town and to the barn of his adoptive parents, where he started counting and locking them under the approving sight of his old man. But the counting did not match.... there was a goat missing. Gazing up to his adoptive father, Haleth did not need a single word for the man to approach him and, putting a big hand on his shoulder, telling him to clam down. They both counted the goats again, but still one was missing as Haleth had noted, so after telling the man to present his excuses on mother, he left to seek for the stray animal. This had never happened before, and as he was going up to the fields again, he noted something strange in the air... although he could not say what it was... but it felt odd, and strangely somewhat familiar. He tried to lift that feeling of his heart and focusing again in the search.

There were always instances of watching Haleth that the darker shadow would get irritated. He never sword trained, how did he expect to improve?! But the irritation would fade back to apathy. When Jan could catch it he would admonish himself, Sheikah weren't all emotionless but they kept it to themselves and kept it in check for the most part. The day wore on like this, the mountain air doing little to quell the feeling of the dark presence looming in the forest. His crimson gaze watched his ward as he laid dazing. The goats had at first sensed the Sheikah's presence two years ago, but they didn't mind him now. They had at first been excited and would cause a ruckus. Now they seemed affable and gentle and somehow Jan felt a slight attachment to the creatures of Ordonna. The sun was settling and it bathed their world in red and pinks, here was the only place in Hyrule left that it was safe to watch such things. Jan missed the scenery from the snowpeak top, but even that place had been taken by the snow beasts. Yeto and his wife could handle them yes... but no other could. A Sheikah could slip past but a Hylian or Zora wouldn't dare go to snowpeak. He watched the first stars appear in the sky and a wrenching in his gut alerted him to a sudden movement. The boy had just hopped up, and the crimson eyes took him in from above. For a Hylian like this one, he wouldn’t exactly see the blue against the shadows as he ran for the village. The rams followed but one stayed behind, as if keeping him company. It seemed upset as well, when the coast was clear the shadow warrior took down from his peak and followed the goat up into the rocky terrain that was the mountainous area. It stopped halfway up to eat some Jumbi fruit, a wild type of berry that was the Ordon Goats’ favorite delight. But something else caught his eye, the black movement that was coming from down below. It was heading for the village at a soft lope, as if not to concerned about it’s speed. He knew it would come today, he had instincts that had never done him wrong. It was around this time that he also had to quickly hide beyond a rock formation. Haleth was returning and perhaps he saw the shot of blue that had seemingly vanished. A Shriek emanated from somewhere distant, it was a horrible sound and the goat flipped upon hearing it. It charged toward Haleth ramming past the boy, animals could sense evil. It was time… there was no more hiding now. There was a gentle thud as he landed before Haleth. His skin tight attire was marked with white wrappings that concealed his body, his armor plate at the front was bearing the weeping eye proudly, and a cowl covered the lower half of his face. He was slim, and slightly shorter than the hero. His crimson gaze didn’t look at Haleth… this boy was not ready for this. “There is no more time… This world has succumbed to a great evil… it’s last sanctum is now to be taken as well…” His gaze was upon a darkening sky, upon a peacefully sleeping village that knew not of the impending doom. “A creature is coming… It has been sent from over the land to find this place, to purge it of its light. It has already taken the forest, soon your village to will fall to it.” He moved forward as the animal disappeared down the slope. “This world has been raped of hope, and people no longer believe in miracles… but there is always hope when all is lost… That is what our kind have believed.” His body turned his slight frame watching Haleth from his crimson gaze. Those merlot eyes slowly closed. “ It is told, that long ago… a dark evil descended on Hyrule, it swept through the valleys and the mountains; it tainted the rivers and infected the people. It was a darkened age where a dark king had taken power. The power hungry king that was later sealed away. When all seemed lost a Hero came, it was a light that shot through the darkness and vanquished the evil that had taken over and divided Hyrule. The Godesses had chosen him specifically and he, The Hero of Time saved our world. After that he disappeared and vanished without a trace and all was well… That was three hundred years ago, when the princess had first summoned him to the castle grounds… Since then people have long forgotten about the Weapon to end evil, and of the Hero himself… they have forgotten that the goddesses work in divine ways… They have become divided once more and even went to war on each other. “When Ganondorf came back from the realm… he reclaimed the triforce of power, and used the warring people against each other. He sent minions to slay all that were in his way, and hope dwindled… The land became parched and dry in the fields and evil coveted the once sacred places… this was twenty years ago…” Another shriek came from the forest and a light erupted into the sky. “Do you hear that? That is the spirit of the Ordon fountain being raped by darkness… even your world will fall… but there is hope still. You can end the monster here, and take up your destiny… you can vanquish the evil that rapes your land, Hyrules land, and even unite Hyrule once again. It is your role that the Goddesses handed to you. You Hero, are the one chosen by the Gods. We will meet again Hero, when you decide that you will uptake your destiny and mature into the Hero you were meant to be.” He backed slowly away, a lock of bluish hair appearing from under the bandages… There was a flash and a harsh sound and he was gone. Back to hiding as a scream erupted from the village. The beast had come to the people of Ordon. It was the beginning of the Hero and the end of Ordon.
