Rikshath sighed. The grandeur of Hyrule Castle Town... it was something he'd seen many times, seeing as how he frequented the place a lot. Even the parade was nothing too special. Of course, that didn't stop the soldiers from using his perfect memory and observational skills as their own security system. The Sheikah sighed. Perhaps it was because he let himself be known for his 'skills' that they did this. Still, they at least paid him, so he didn't mind.

[color=darkmagenta]"Captain. Right there. Repeat offender. Pick-pocketing, if I'm not mistaken. Trying to hide himself under a thick coat." [/color] Rikshath watched as the captain stopped the man and handed him to a soldier to be dragged off. [color=darkmagenta]"Other than him and the other one, no one else here matches any of the descriptions or sketches of the known petty criminals."[/color] Rishath observed. The captain thanked him, before handing him a small pouch of Rupees. Rikshath didn't even bother counting out to see if the promised 500 Rupees were there, instead putting the bag away. He then made his way to the event hall, to see if anything interesting was happening there.

The soldiers didn't stop Rik as he approached, probably because of his heritage. After all, it was obvious he was a Sheikah, and they were the sworn protectors of Hyrule's royal family. As Rik made his way inside, he spotted the crown Princess, Stella. [i][color=darkmagenta]'Speak of the Evil, and it shall come.'[/color][/i] Rik thought to himself. Sure, there were some that still, to this day, disputed Stella's legitimacy to the throne, but Rik could feel her magical power. It was real enough. Not many possessed that strong of light magic. Rik rather enjoyed the ability to sense the magical potential of others. It came in handy a few times more than he'd care to admit. Rik watched the Princess go through the mundane task of giving orders and other royal stuff he had no caring for.

Rik never really was that close to the Royal Family. He'd be surprised if the Princess even knew who he was. After all, he wasn't her personal guardian, though that was probably because he'd spent a lot of his time studying magic. Even still, he preferred to make trips to some of Hyrule's exotic locales, as he found Castle Town to be too busy to his liking. Still, he knew he the Princess was, and he knew that it was still his job, no matter what, to make sure that she was safe should the situation ever call for it. As he was pondering on what to do, he felt it. [i][color=lightblue]"To the Temple of Time, your destiny awaits."[/color][/i]

Rik was almost inclined to dismiss it, but there was a lingering to the message, one that most people wouldn't recognize. [i]Magic[/i]. Rik realized he wasn't the only one to hear it, as he saw the Princess space for a bit, seeming a bit confused when she pulled herself together. Rik pondered for a moment whether or not to follow the voice or stay and watch the Princess do her work. He figured the parade might be a nice break, and decided to stay. Besides, he knew next to nothing about the person he was supposedly so sworn to protect. Family duties and all that. He guessed that's what happened when Princess Zelda's nursemaid was one of your ancestors...
