As you walk, you see a rather relaxed Shiekah by the lake shore. An Falcon rests on his shoulder, as he feeds a deer some berries. He looks up at you. Hey, whats up traveler. Come sit by the lake with me and listen to what nature has to say. He turns back to the lake, eyes half witted, and his sholders droop, as his arms nearly hang there. Man... It was 12 years ago today, my master died combatting a great evil... He says in a relaxed voice. The names Fang. Nice to meet you. What do they call you?

Blank senses a strange aura emanating from the Sheikah. He decides to take caution in his words and actions. The last thing he needs is another enemy. As he approaches the Shadow folk, he keep his hand on the bow at his side, ready to reach for his quiver and take out the falcon should the deadly bird attack unexpected.

Hello to you, Fang. They call me Blank, though if that is my real name I am not sure. Tell me, stranger, what brings you to to this grotto?

Nature brang me.... My own two feet only got me here... He lays back. Its alright, you dont have to worry, i am a peaceful soul... However if need be, I Excel in the shadow fighting.. What is that you ask... It is an art of fighting passed down only by my great great great granfather to his sons... He notices the bow. Thats a mighty fine bow you have there! Its very worn... Just like mine. You must have had many great battles with it!... Man... He looks around at the old trees, and the setting sun. If these trees could talk, they would have many stories to tell.... I could tell you what they have seen if you like...

Well... if you insist.

Blank leans against a tree and crosses his arms.

So then, what have these trees seen...

well, lets find out... He places his hand over the tree, and he glowes green. these trees have seen many a battle, and have much yet to be seen. This 478 year old tree, has seen hyrule evolve over the years, and can barely stand watching it slowly tainted by evil... He says there used to be a time where there was almost no evil in the land... however over time, more people have resorted to its ways.. it has een warriors rise, and warriors fall... He takes his hand off of the tree, and the glow dims back to normal. Nature has more to say than you think. So just what brings you the pond on such a lovely day?

I'm searching for the.... He resigns from speaking of it, not yet fully trusting the Sheikah. A friend. I'm searching for a friend. How I managed to end up back in Noth Forest is beyond me. I mostly come here to gaze across the lake. The view of the Castle is excellent from here. It reminds me of a simpler time.

Blank unfolds his arms and points to Fang.

So, Fang, are you from around here?

Yeah, i agree, it is a beautiful view of the castle. somtimes you can even see princess zelda combing her hair through that balcony window! And no, im not from here at all. I flew here from across the sea. SCREEEEECH!! The falcon on his sholder let out a cry, and nuzzled Fang's cheek. If your looking for someone, we can surely help you find him... he puts a hand on the falcon, and says SAN-BYANDA! The falcon hops on the ground, and begins to shine. Soon the light is too bright to look at, and in the next instant, he is 10x his original size! Fang hops on its back, and motions Blank forward. c'mon! we can soar high above hyrule! Trust me!

Blank looks suspicious of the prospect at first, but shrugs it off and climbs up onto the massive falcon.

I'll tell you if I see him...

lets go! Fang taps the falcon with his left foot, and yells, Hang on! The falcon takes off soaring inches above the surface of the lake, as he just makes it over hyrule castle. They soar high above the trees, as they come to the flats of Ruto town, also over looking NewpeakTop. They soon cover tantari desert territory, and they begiin to soar into the Deku woods. Have you seen him yet Blank?? He yells back at Blank. The wind whipping through your hair is a wonderfull feeling isnt it? Never seen the tops of the clouds have you?

Blank holds on tight, but it is far harder. At least the Pegasus had a harness.

I've seen the bottoms and sides, but never the tops. To be honest, they're not much different. Oh, about my friend, we won't find him by air. He's dead. I was searching for his grave, out west.

Fang nearly fell off the Falcon in suprise. WHAT??? Why the hell would we find his grave in the air?? WINGBEAT!! FLY LOWER! The Falcon decends, as they cover the lower ground. Head west buddy! The Falcon swiftly turns in an arc, as they begin to soar west...

Blank laughs at the surprise of the Sheikah. As they fly over the western front, Blank spots a small group of tombstones, not far from Lon Lon Ranch.

I see it... but I wish to travel there alone. It's getting dark. We should head back to the lake.

right. Wingbeat, head back to the lake. The Falcon screeches, and turns around. As they near the lake, The Falcon decends, and lands. Fang, jumps off the Falcon, and Helps blank off. Hope you had a good time. Im a wanderer, but you can almost always find me here by sun set. May our paths cross again Blank. Fang, hops on the falcon. and soars to new peaktop.

Blank waves goodbye to Fang, then turns and marches off towards the western ranch, towards the grave. He felt bad for lieing to Fang about searching for a "friend." Well, it wasn't a complete fib. He was due to visit "him" anyway. But, at the time he did not trust Fang with the information about the Po Rune.

The Zora he had met with earlier had sent him west, as well. As he leaves the clearing, he reminds himself that he can now trust Fang.

As Fang soars through the humid air, He says, He was a jumpy guy wasn't he WingBeat? No Doubt he has been through rough times. Well If you ever spot him in danger, be sure to do your best to help him out WingBeat, Understand? Blank is a friend now. WingBeat screeched in agreement, as they set off to newpeaktop.
