Summary: Base days after LoZ FS manga. Link has returned to one and is living the life as one of Hyrule's knights. But deep in the core of the Dark Realm, a new evil is rising, and its up to Two unexpected partners to find and save the now missing hero(s). A Teller story.

In the Dark Realm, covered in shadows and evil, stood a tall, dark stoned castle. It made no noise besides the sound of hurried footsteps and whispers of the many servants. Other than them, the castle was perfectly quiet-
"What!? That pig nosed imp LOST!?"
Well, not anymore. The tall, hourglass figure loomed over the young scout as he coward in fear. The tall figure stood in the shadows, but their crimson red eyes shone in anger. After a second of silence, the scout spoke,
"Y-yes your highness. T-the boy u-used the Four S-Sword and d-d-destroyed him..." the scout trailed off as he saw the shadowy figure narrow its eyes at him. After what felt like an eternity, the figure finally spoke,
"Well, it seems I will have to do what neither Gufuu nor Ganon could do." The shadow looked at the scout before its eyes flashed with anger,
"Why are you just standing there?! Go get me 'her'! NOW!" It roared. The scout bolted out of the figure's chamber down the corridors and stairs until he reached flights of hundreds of stairs. Quickly, so to not disappoint his ruler, the scout ran down the stairs until he reached a guard post. The guard stopped him before he could continue.
"Your Highness wishes for 'her' presence." The guard immediately knew who he was talking about and opened the wooden door that lead to the prisoners.
"Hey! Girl! Your Highness wants you in their chamber, NOW!" The young girl stood up from her seat on the floor and jogged out of the dungeon, to the chamber of their ruler.
"You called My Majesty?" Asked the young lady, though she looked no more than fourteen, she carried the voice of an adult. Her dark purple hair and crimson eyes flicked around the room as she tried to catch a glimpse of the owner of the dark, shadowed room. Finally, she saw in the far end of the room were narrowed red eyes staring back at her. The girl was not afraid of the angry eyes staring at her, nor was she scared when the voice of that belong to those eyes spoke.
"Well, you must have heard oh that pig head's failure and the little brat's treason. Correct?" Without waiting for a respond, the shadow continued
"I'm in no mood for chitchat, so I'll get to the point; that boy who defeated both Gufuu and Ganon is still alive. I want you to go to the Light Realm and get rid of him." There was a few seconds of silence before the girl spoke,
"Why me? I am not familiar with the Light Realm nor do I know who this boy is."
"Do not worry, I will teleport you to a common location he's at. As for his appearance," the girl could hear the evil smile in her Master's voice. "He is a blonde boy, your age, and has blue eyes. He goes by the name of Link."

The girl walked back down the stairs to the dungeon. Once down there, she gave a curt nod to the guard in the watch post before going down the hall. Many bangs and cries were heard as she walked by each cell. But she kept going down the hall, and didn't stop. Not until she reached the last cell. Without hesitation she unlocked the door of the cell. The only noise besides her footsteps were the sound of ragged, dry breathing. The girl quietly walked to the other side of the room, where a figure sat hunched over. The only thing that prevented the prisoner from falling head over heels were the chains on their arms, chaining them to the wall. The girl sat beside the prisoner, her arms wrapped around her knees in a comfortable way. She looked over at the prisoner before speaking up.
"I see they gave you your punishment early today. Those guards must be bored today." She looked back at the boy prisoner as he let out a soft chuckle.
"Yeah," he said in a dry voice, and cleared his throat before continuing.
"They must have been to bring out the 'big guns'." The boy looked over at her with his identical purple hair sticking to his sweating forehead.
"Changing the subject, why were you sent away?" The girl looked at him straight in his red eyes, a common eye color in the Dark Realm, she thought before speaking,
"My lord-"
"No one is your lord, remember that." Interrupted the boy.
"Right, right. Any who, they- they want me to kill someone..." she glanced at the boy, "His name is Link. That's the name of 'him' isn't it? Blonde hair, my-our- age and blue eyes. That's him, isn't it, Shadow?" Shadow let out a pained, tired sigh before nodding his head before meeting the girl's eyes,
"Yeah, that's him. Man, heh, never thought he would be so... wanted." That made the girl chuckle
"Yes, because killing the cursed wind mage and king of darkness won't make you wanted from every evil being in the word. Come on, don't say that wasn't expected Shad." That made Shadow look at her with remorse.
"Speaking of cursed wind mages; how's Vaati recovering?" The girl let out a snort of amusement before replying,
"Bit annoyed he can't leave his chamber or use magic, but I think he likes my company, since I'm the only one who can deal with his-"
"If I may, I would suggest to not curse. Can become a bad habit." Interrupted Shadow, shifting so he could lean against the wall, but winched in pain as he did so. The girl noticed this and said in an annoyed tone,
"Did they attack your back AGAIN!? What's their deal with the back?! You would think they'd go for the legs. That's the smart thing to do, ya'know, that way they-"
"Can't run. That's the fourth time you've done this debate Shelda." The girl looked at him, her eyebrow raised,
"OK, for one, you just interrupted for the third time in the hour. For second, why do you call me that? That's not my name." Shadow gave her a smile. Even though he was probably was ready to pass out, he still tried to hide it. A thought crossed her mind, but wasn't able to proceed due to Shadow answering her.
"Girl, you don't even have a name, I thought it suit you. Even Vatti agrees with me. You do need a name, and frankly, I don't think you want to be named Shadow #2." 'Shelda' let out a quiet laugh, speaking with a smile and sarcastic voice,
"You don't know that. I might be DREAMING to be named after such a great, fantastic, awesome BOY!"
"HEY! I'm not a 'boy'!" Huffed Shadow.
"Ha, you're right, you're an imp!" 'Shelda' laughed at his face of mocked hurt. After he allowed her a good minute of laughing he laid his head back and closed his eyes, shifting painfully to a more comfortable position. When 'Shelda' noticed him shifting and settling down, she got up, a few joints popping in the process.
"Alright Shad, I'll leave you to take a well-deserved nap, see ya later, Kay?" She looked down at her brother-like friend. He was pale (even though all dark beings were pale, he was sickly pale), sweating, and he had bangs under his eyes. His red eyes were not as life giving as they were when he was first 'created'. A pang of grief went through her as she waited for him to answer. After another silent second Shadow gave a slow nod, indicating he heard her. When she saw that, she knew he was already drifting off to sleep. As she walked out, she looked back at Shadow, who was already asleep, she quietly sighed before whispering.
"Night Shad, I'll be back soon." And with that, she closed and locked the cell door, walking away to her chamber. Once there, she looked at her reflection in the black tinted mirror, remembering the meaning of her 'name'. Shadows voice being the one she heard;
since you are the shadow of Zelda, it's only fitting to fuse the words together Shadow+Zelda=
"Shelda." She mumbled out loud, before going to her bed and falling asleep.
