Special Note: Some liberties have been taken with the original storyline. In this story Sheik is his own person and not Zelda. I do realize that Sheik in game canon is actually Zelda and I have no problem with that canon. However, for this story Sheik is a man and his own person. It includes or will include sexual themes between two men, cross-dressing, death, violence, angst and possibly more. If either the themes of this story or the fact that Sheik is not Zelda and a man bothers you, don't read it. You've been warned and I really don't care if you get pissed off for reading something you don't like and were warned about in the first place.
Authors Note: The Moldrue creature(s) are an element made by myself and are not in any Zelda games.

Link grumbled quietly and hugged his arms to his chest. He kicked at the ground below his feet, a clump of grass from the dew covered ground launching forward. “I can’t believe he just up and left like that.” He mumbled.

Navi shook her head softly and lightly patted the top of Link’s head as she sat atop his head, “Calm down, you know that Sheik said he’d be back. I’m sure he’s got other things that need to be done as well.”

Link dug his foot into the ground sullenly and sighed nodding minutely, “Yeah, but he’s supposed t’be my ‘Guide and Guardian’, you’d think that was supposed t’mean he was gonna hang around or somethin’.”

Navi chuckled quietly, her wings fluttering as she lifted herself from the Hylian’s head to land on his shoulder. She shook her head and pressed her cheek against Link’s tapered ear, “I know you’re developing feelings for…”

“I—no I haven’t!” Link interrupted quickly.

Navi smirked, “Oh you are too Link, and we both know I can see into that pretty blonde head of yours. Anyway I know you’re developing feelings for him, but he can’t stay with you at all times.” She flew off his shoulders to hover in front of the teen’s face, she smiled at him, “Just imagine what would happen if you were reliant on him? You’d never be able to stop Ganondorf.”

Link blushed and mumbled incoherently for a moment before clearing his throat, “Yeah, well… uhm,” he sniffed lightly and nodded, “Right then. Let’s go, alright Navi?” He smiled when his fairy companion gave a happy affirmation and flew up to sit on his head again. When she was seated he began walking and within moments came upon a small clearing with small pond and two perceivable exits other than the one he was standing in, the one on his left being guarded by a familiar and very antagonizing Kokiri. “Oh for Din’s sake… why’d it have t’be Mido?” He muttered quietly.

Sheik clutched his aching side as he limped his way back out of the Forest Temple, groaning with each step. Years without people to care for the large maze like wonder had taken its toll on the once beautiful temple in more ways than one. It was crumbling in a few places and filled with dark creatures. Most of the creatures he knew without a shadow of a doubt that Link could defeat. All but one really, Link had no real magic at this point and even if he had, Sheik knew all too well that he’d never have the ability to manipulate dark energy.

Sheik pulled himself up to the tree stump outside the Temple entrance and sat down watching idly as the blood flowed slowly from his skin. ”That… monstrosity," Sheik thought grimly, ”once truly alive but now living only by the twisted grace of darkness." He shuddered lightly; all things considered he would have preferred going one on one with a ReDead. Damn that thing, only people powerful enough to truly kill it would be a Sage. “Well, thank Farore I was able to dissipate it for a few days.“

He sighed quietly and used what little strength he could muster to hide himself from view, as he thought over the beast. It was, more or less, a amalgam of body parts held together by a huge coursing case of dark magic. It fed the beast, made it strong and acted as a new more powerful body. One had to control the magic of its body and cast bits and pieces as far away from one another as possible, and until Link completed the Temple and released the Sage that would be enough to keep it weak and unable to reform.

Sheik went through the small bag at his hip that had once belonged to his sister, searching for an unused healing potion, preferably a Blue Potion. He cursed silently when he discovered he had, as he suspected, used them all when ‘banishing’ the Moldrue. ”Luckily,” he thought, “The blood is flowing out slowly. Link should be here soon and I can tell him what he needs to know and hopefully have the strength to make it to Kakariko.”

Appearing as if by divine intervention, Link, wiping the sweat from his brow, walked up the stairs to the clearing in which Sheik was sitting. Sheik breathed out a heavy sigh of relief upon seeing Link and stood up, keeping his glamour of invisibility in place. Once he was satisfied he was not going to fall over he allowed the glamour to dissipate when Link approached the tree stump.

Holding up a hand to keep Link quiet, Sheik spoke, “The flow of time is always cruel... Its speed seems different for each person, but no one can change it... A thing that doesn't change with time is a memory of younger days... In order to come back here again, play the Minuet of Forest.” Sheik struggled for a split second getting his lyre from within his cloak and played the Minuet of the Forest slowly. He smiled weakly when Link put the Ocarina of Time to his lips and repeated the song. Sheik nodded and closed his eyes as the two played the song in harmony.

Navi frowned upon seeing Sheik, it was obvious to her that the man was injured. Rather badly from what she could see. Sheik cleared his throat, “Link, you should hurry up to the entrance of the Temple, hm?”

“I guess…” Link said softly, still upset with Sheik for having left him. He frowned at the dark skinned man, “Where will you be after I finish the Temple?”

“I will be waiting for you in Kakariko. I’m sorry to have left you, but it could not be helped. You will do fine, this is a place in which you will need no help.” Sheik said with a weak smile. From the look he saw on Link’s face, he was sure the teen hadn’t noticed his injuries, though he also knew the Hylian was upset at being left. Navi, on the other hand, had most definitely noticed his injuries and he prayed she would keep the knowledge to herself.

Link nodded slowly at the man, his expression lightening. He smiled softly, “Okay, I guess I’ll see you there then.” He walked to the large tree before the broken steps leading to the temple, “Let’s go Navi.”

Navi hesitated for a moment, “I’ll be right there okay? Wait for me.”

Link tilted his head before giving a soft sound of affirmation to the fairy and raised his arm, pointing the hookshot toward the tree, using it to propel him to the ledge. He walked to the door of the temple and waited.

Navi fluttered over to Sheik and frowned, ‘tsk’ing softly at the Sheikah, “What is happened to you?!”

“I got in a bit of a fight, nothing to worry your little head over. But keep it to yourself, hm? Can’t have Link distracted.” Sheik said softly, groaning lightly as his entire side throbbed, shuddering at the feeling of the blood sliding down his side. He was more than a little thankful of the cloak, for hiding his bloody visage from the Hylian.

Navi shook in anger for a moment before sighing dejectedly and nodded, “Fine, but you better get yourself fixed up. The world needs its handsome men you know.” She grinned faintly, and added in a whisper, “Not to mention Link.”

Sheik nodded to the small fairy and motioned for her to join Link. When the fairy had flown off to Link and he was certain the duo had entered the temple he slumped down on the stump once again, feeling completely drained. A deep frown formed on his face and he sighed.

“So much for making it back to Kakariko,” he mumbled weakly, wincing as the world began to spin around him. A long pained gasp for air escaped his lips as fell back against the stump and the light of the world escaped his eyes.
