This is my first story about (and actually first written on fan fiction). It's OC-based, so if you don't like that kind, feel free to hit the back button and find another story. I love Legend of Zelda, so I'll just start writing. Every view, comment, favorite and follow counts. I appreciate reviews about the story plot, those are the best kind. This occurs years before the Shiekah tribe was disbanded.

Traditionally, you can't officially become a Guardian of the Royal Family until you have passed the test and completed your training. This basically occurs between the graduation of two shiekahs during their training and adventures. I hope you enjoy.

Chapter 1

As the sun dawned up in the sky, the group of Shiekah trainees threw several kunais and shurikens at the targets. One kunai missed its mark, instead of flying into a target, and flew off into a tree stump. Briefly, the rest stopped, waiting for their teacher to immediately snap back to their world.

"Kiara, I expect you to hit ever target. Now what has caused you to lose focus?" A young woman named Ziri, asked, crossing her arms. She settled her gaze on a girl with blackish-red hair, wearing an all grey Sheikah trainee uniform. There were no markings of the Sheikah tribe on her arms, for she had not finished her training yet. After a long day of training yesterday, she was hoping everyone had sharpened their focus for the test and perhaps...their graduation from the advanced class.

"I didn't lose focus. It's just that the target -" Kiara began

"This lesson doesn't have moving targets. And I expect an answer, Kiara. All yesterday we were learning about focusing our blows and magic, but it seems you haven't been paying attention at all," Ziri interrupted, "do we need to discuss this later?" She narrowed her eyes.

Kiara shifted uneasily from her gaze, waiting to hear her punishment. Ziri's eyes scanned the girl, trying to find a fault from the outside. Since she couldn't see anything. She squinted for a few moments, imagining that Kiara had been thinking something else. She seemed very distant, as if she was thinking about something else, and not the lesson itself. She had to punish her in a way that she would understand was serious.

"Hmph, three laps around the mountain top, fifty pushups and situps, and three rounds of close combat with the trees. You need to remember that this training requires a lot of work in order to be ready for the test and later, your graduation...if you make it."

"But-"

Ziri narrowed her eyes again, glaring at the girl.

"Never mind."

"That's what I thought. Anyway, you all may stop. Go get a drink, all of you."

Kiara rushed off with the rest of the group as they sat on a large tree stump and opened their water flasks.

"So what caused you to lose focus?" A boy named Chad asked, teasing her.

"It was nothing."

"Humph, I expect you to climb the mountain instead of eating!" He said, mocking Ziri.

"And that's funny to you?" Kiara arched her eyebrows. She was used to climbing the mountains. She often failed most of her teachers, but none had rejected her yet. She thought on to the next day, when she would learn a few simple spells, like cloning and small flights of teleportation. She turned towards the mountains that protected and hid their land.

"I hope we get to head to Hyrule soon."

"You're not going to Hyrule unless you graduated, but you already would have known that unless you weren't listening." Chad said, glancing at a few other trainees as they effortlessly jumped up a tree and surveyed the area. Chad left her and back flipped on to a rock high above Kiara. She huffed, and put away her flask, getting up and climbing the rock that Chad had crouched upon.

"What is it?" She asked, turning her head, using the spell 'Eagle's View' to scanning the area a few miles away.

"Seems that the transports have arrived with the goods..." Chad said, "but there's something else...hold on a second, I see some suspicious activity. Come on! Oh wait...you have to do the lesson all over again with Ziri and then climb the mountain...right." He snickered, leaping of the rock and leaving an enraged Kiara on the rock. She crossed her arms and looked away. Chad had always teased her since she was young. He wouldn't pull her hair because it was always short, but he would always stick his tongue out at her when she missed a target, or if she got nervous. He always seemed to be there to tease and irritate her. No matter what. The one thing that inspired her to keep going was the best Sheikah still alive. Impa. She could outmaneuver people 8 times her size, find their weak points in a flash, and take down every challenge in her way. And as soon as the current guardian of the Royal Family became older, she would compete to become the Guardian of the Royal Family of Hyrule. Kiara would give anything to be like her.

The sun was high in the sky as she turned around, using her Eagle's View spell to see where Chad had headed. He was off towards the village, and she was missing out.

"Kiara!" Ziri's voice echoed towards the clearing where the group of trainees had been. There was only two left, and they had eventually headed back to the town. Kiara was the only one left. Sitting on top of the large boulder by the stump of a decaying tree. She hesitated.

"Kiara!" She heard Ziri's voice call, a few feet away. She knew that her lesson was about to begin, but she waited on top of the rock, sitting and taking a deep breath. She had a big decision to make.

Would she go do her boring lesson all over again, or would she risk running after Chad and having an adventure?

Ziri wasn't very far from her. In fact, she was right around the trees near the path to the mountains. Kiara jumped off the rock and looked in the direction where her teacher would be. She took a deep breath, and sprinted off towards the path of Chad, and the village. She knew sooner or later that

Edit: So, I guess that's it for the new updated version of chapter 1.

I hoped you liked the chapter. If you haven't guessed already, Kiara is one of the main characters in this story. There's one more that you'll get to know further. If you liked it, please review, follow or favorite. It means a lot to me. I do answer PMs and questions, but I won't spoil. You'll have to wait for the next chapter to find out what's going on ;) I'll update as soon as I 'can'. So please enjoy this chapter.

Yours truly,
