Zonai Descendant : A Zelda BotW Story

Prologue

Ten thousand years ago, the Sheikah Empire was at its peak. The highly advanced tribe was creating powerful technology, and using it to aid the Sword's chosen one, Link. Ganon was on the brink of his return, but the Sheikah had all of Hyrule prepared for the Great Calamity.

All the races of Hyrule, from the Zora to the Gorons, had faith in the Sheikah. They practically worshipped them. But, little did they know, the renowned tribe wasn't all it was made out to be.

Lurking in the harshest of climates, like the Gerudo Desert, the Faron Forest, and the Hebra Mountains, was a strong, intelligent tribe who thrived away from the rest of civilization. They were secluded and somewhat hostile, and rumors were spread that they would slaughter anyone who dared approach them. They were known as the Zonai Tribe.

The Zonai Tribe was an advanced, sophisticated tribe. They had monuments, temples, and cities intricately carved from stone. They wore armor made of monster's bones, and fought savagely when they needed to. Above all, they were a group of brilliant minds.

The Zonai created amazing technology. They made the blueprints for the Guardians and the Divine Beasts, and shared it with their only ally, the Sheikah.

Since nobody knew that the Zonai had created the blueprints due to their hostility, the Sheikah took advantage of their alliance with the mysterious Tribe. They redrew the blueprints, portraying them to the public as their own.

A few years later, and it was the Matsuri : A Zonai festival that happened every two years on the third full moon. The Zonai travelled from their homes to the main Zonai City called Thyphlo to gather for the sacred meeting. The festival was mandatory for their religion, as it was the rising of their god, the dragon Farosh, into the sky. Hundreds of the tribe's members crowded around the sacred rising place , directly at the heart of the Zonai city.

Now, the Sheikah were in a bad place. They were beginning the construction and operation of their "Ally"'s blueprints, and if the Zonai found out about their lie, 

they could expose them to all of Hyrule as traitors. So, the Sheikah made a terrible plan.

It was the night of the Matsuri, and every Zonai member was gathered silently and solemnly around Farosh's rising place. The Sheikah lurked just outside Thyphlo, and so did their powerful elder, Amaya.

Just as the dragon Farosh began to rise from the ground, Amaya cast a powerful spell on Thyphlo. The entire city was covered in a thick blanket of pitch darkness in an instant. The power of the shadow made Farosh collapse, and lay silent on the ground.

The Zonai were sent into a panic, which was just what the Sheikah wanted. They sent their strongest warriors into the now pitch-black Thyphlo with torches and powerful weapons. The Zonai were killed on the site, not being armed with any weapons and not being able to see through the darkness.

Almost the entire race was wiped out in one night.

But one handful of Zonai escaped the shadowy city, and went back into hiding in the Faron region, where their old city lay. Up to this day, their few ancestors still hide in the ruins of the ancient city, fearing the tribe that nearly ended them, ten thousand years ago...
