Scene contexts
Scene 1: Camped near Castletown, which has been long since overrun by Ganondorf, Hyrule's army has recently been attacked by monsters summoned by the demon within the Shadow Temple. Sheik surveys the damage and the number of casualties weighs heavily upon her.
Scene 2: Link and Sheik bury one of the Kokiri (not Saria) who was killed by Ganondorf's phantom. This is Sheik's prayer.
Scene 3: Not realising who Sheik is, Ruto insults Sheiks, thinking that she is merely Impa's attendant and acting above her station. Sheik isn't amused.
Zelda's eyes strayed to another tent where a steady stream of healers came and went. She admired them- they hadn't slept much the last two days, yet they kept going as best they could to aid the wounded. She'd taken a moment to visit them and wander in their midst, her heart aching as people wondered where the queen was. She knew some of them considered her a coward for hiding. It took all her strength to keep quiet and her face straight as she walked by with an air of feigned confidence.
Your queen has not forgotten you. She is closer than you know.
"By the light of the creators, we pray you find shelter in the embrace of the Goddesses. May the power of Din grant you strength. May the wisdom of Nayru guide your spirit, and may the courage of Farore dwell within you." Sheik placed her fingers on her cowl as she finished the short blessing. "Though the flow of time is cruel and its speed seems different for each person, no one can change it. A thing that does not change with time is a memory of younger days. Sleep now, sweet child. May you find peace in the embrace of our creators."
"It's Your Majesty," Ruto chided.
Sheik did not take kindly to being interrupted. "I will call you by your royal title when you act like a queen."
"What would you know about being a queen?" Ruto snapped.
"A lot more than you," Sheik replied. Her voice was deadly quiet and thick with contempt.
A cold and uncomfortable silence filled the room as Sheik stared down the Zora Queen. Link couldn't help but think that Ruto's last comment had struck a nerve. Her eyes were like daggers, and she looked close to committing regicide. Ruto blanched, licking her lips nervously. Ruto hadn't just struck a nerve, she'd severed it.
