Zelda had long learned when to leave Lucien alone when he withdrew, and she knew that it wasn't her place to press his personal decisions. But, after eating a few bites of dinner only to have them stick in her throat, she decided to seek him out. Excusing herself from the table, she exited behind Lucien, going to the place she knew he would be; on the cliff above the village beside the old shrine.<br/><br/>Lucien could see her as she came up the steep hill and she smiled in response to the scowl he gave her. He didn't move, though, and she came up beside him and sat next to him in the grass, looking down on the village below. They sat a long time in silence that way as the sun went down before finally the princess spoke.<br/><br/>"If Calamity Ganon returns, as the signs point to, and the bearer of the Sword that Seals the Darkness should fall, what will happen to the Sheikah?" she asked softly. She didn't mention herself. Despite the scare they had earlier that day, in a way, her own safety was trivial. It was vital only because of her role to protect Hyrule itself. Should sacrificing herself mean that the rest of the realm and her subjects were safe, she would do so without hesitation.<br/><br/>She didn't look at him as she waited to see if he would respond, just continued to look out over the village, listening to the soft sounds of the approaching night and the noises of some of the villagers below.
