5-04

[Sheik's eyes narrow as he crumples the letter in his hand. Hyrule, destroyed? Is this perhaps a trick of Ganondorf's, who somehow escaped the Sacred Realm? Or maybe one of his lackeys, angered over their master's defeat?

A brief search of the room reveals a trunk filled with items from Sheik's home; he changes into his regular clothing and arms himself with some Deku Nuts and a small blade, then departs, running his fingers over the collar around his neck as he goes. It's time to find answers.]



Floor 28

[Examining the peculiar room he's in, Sheik takes in the various instruments that are lying about. His eyes fall on a small lyre, and the corner of his mouth twitches. It's nice to see something he recognizes in such a strange place. He picks it up and idly plucks at the strings, letting his mind wander. He hasn't had enthusiasm for playing lately, not since being so consumed by researching the Sheikah.

Suddenly hearing a familiar melody, he stops playing. Perplexed by the silence, he looks down and realizes that he was the culprit. Zelda's lullaby...]



Floor 22

[Sheik is standing in front of a large stained glass window mounted on the wall. There's a strange light behind it, illuminating the figure of a proud Sheikah warrior. As Sheik gazes at the artwork of Impa, his brows furrow in confusion. He doesn't remember ever seeing something like this in the castle. Maybe Zelda commissioned it after Ganondorf's defeat? A pang of loss hits and he curls his hand into a loose fist, letting it rest over his heart. He wishes he could see her again.]


Floor 13

[If the music room and art gallery weren't confusing enough, now he's in a cathedral that's inside a tower. Standing behind the pews, he hears a mumbling sound coming from the altar; but when he goes closer to investigate, there's suddenly silence. Feeling uneasy, he starts looking around for signs of a threat. The stillness reminds him in some ways of the Temple of Time, though that does little to ease his mind.]

Hello?

[Strange. He spoke clearly, yet he can barely hear himself. He doubts anyone else, should they be here, can hear him.]

[Slowly, as though she is doing her best to process this information, she shakes her head.]

I do not. To my memory, none stood beside me in the Temple of Time. None but the Hero.

[Somewhere in the back of her mind, she realizes she should probably explain the nature of this place - how there are alternate worlds, and how people can come from any place in time - but she's still too caught up in the whys and hows to really consciously think of that.]
