Crimson eyes peeked out from behind over long blonde bangs. The small figure looked even smaller standing in front of the massive form that was the Great Deku Tree. Sheik, a member of the Sheikah tribe, who's job was to protect the royal family. He had been training since he could walk and at only eleven was already almost considered a full fledged warrior, though he did have much to learn still.

There were very few Sheikah left, so when Sheik was born, it was decided that in order to protect him, they would send him to the Kokiri forest to live among the Kokiri. His aunt Impa had trained him in secret, usually at night when he could sneak out of the village and into the forest. He had done so the night before as usual, but instead of jumping into training Impa had led him to the Great Deku Tree. There, he was told of his future. About how one day he would be the companion and guide of a hero and was then asked to go retrieve his best friend, Linkle.

Sheik was quiet for a moment. Him, the guide to a hero? But he was supposed to be training to protect Princess Zelda one day. He was confused by all this, and the fact that his aunt seemed to have known about this already. But still, he agreed to go get Linkle. Before Sheik returned to village, Impa gave him the daggers he used during training, saying that he might need them. Sheik tucked the daggers into hiding spots in his clothing, he didn't want the Kokiri to see them.

The Sheikah returned to the village and managed to slip inside unnoticed. From there he went through the village to a familiar house that was built into a tree. He climbed the ladder to the platform quickly and easily. Stepping inside, Sheik started looking around for Linkle, to find her still sleeping. Sheik went over and shook her. "Hey, Linkle, wake up." He said, sighing as she didn't so much as stir. He started shaking her harder. "Come Linkle it's time to get up. The Great Deku Tree wants to see you."
