READER'S POV

Darkness...that's all I can see right now...I often wondered how long I had been in a coma for...it feels like forever since I saw the light...my friends and Hyrule itself...I still remembered that day like it was yesterday...Calamity Ganon's return...Hyrule Castle and its civilians being slaughtered...my Divine Beast, Vah Sari, falling into his control...and...Keegan's betrayal...I still can't believe betrayed me and the tribe...how did it come to this...?

I have always asked myself those questions since I've been in a coma. I didn't understand why I haven't woken up yet but, the memories of my friends still keep me happy. I still remember the day I met Zelda and the King after they discovered our ancient technology.

Flashback...

Impa, Keegan and I made our way into the throne room and we saw the King and Princess Zelda. We knelt before them and then the announcer spoke up.

"Your Majesties, allow me to introduce the leader of the Sheikah tribe, (F/n) (L/n), her mentor, Impa and her second in command Keegan."

"It is an honour to meet you, my King, Princess Zelda."

I spoke with a smile on my face and then the King spoke up.

"Please you three don't need to bow to us, come stand up."

We stood up from the ground and then I said to them.

"I heard your men have found some of our ancient technology, regarding the prophecy."

"Yes, that is true. I have become very fascinated with these guardians and the Divine beasts. We also found this at a dig site."

Zelda showed us a rectangular slate and I recognized it immediately. I took the slate from her hand I told her.

"Hm...the Sheikah Slate, very interesting and well done for finding this."

"Thank you, what can you tell us about this object?"

"Well, the slate contains four runes, a map and it also keeps pictures of the objects or landscapes that you take from the camera rune."

"Camera rune? pictures?" Zelda asked with a twinkle in her eyes which I couldn't help but giggle at.

"You really are interested in our ancient technologies aren't you?"

"Well, if we want to defeat Calamity Ganon we have to do whatever it takes and you Sheikahs are the only ones who can help us."

"Princess Zelda I will be more than happy to-"

"Pardon the interruption, my lady," Keegan spoke up. "And pardon for being rude, but, is it necessary to share our knowledge about the ancient technologies that our ancestors created?"

"Keegan! shut up!" I shouted at him. "Look, I can clearly tell that you don't like the idea about us sharing the information about the guardians and the Divine Beasts with the royal family but, you know about the prophecy just as much as I do."

"I know, I know, but, what if we used them to our advantage and besides, you were searching for the Sheikah Slate and you said it was the key to activating the Beasts and the shrines that are scattered throughout Hyrule."

"I was but, after Impa told me about the prophecy, the information can be useful for Princess Zelda. Especially since we need five people to control the Divine Beasts, I don't suppose you know the right people for the job?"

Keegan was about to tell me but, he closed his mouth afterwards.

"That's what I thought."
