## Content

I had just crossed Fort Hateno and trotted to the Dueling Peaks, from there, I went to the Gerudo Canyon Pass, where I ran into the Sheikah excavating the guardians. I have been studying guardians ever since I learned about them. Since I was a Sheikah, I could have the ability to pilot a guardian, but I wanted a different design.

Someone had also found a Sheikah Slate, at the same time I was running by and was asked to study the Sheikah Slate and then give it to Zelda. I returned to Hateno Village to study it. I had discovered another Sheikah Slate in the basement of my own home, surprisingly, it still worked. I studied the Sheikah Slate and gave it over to Zelda, who accepted it and then I left because I didn’t need to stay there at Hyrule Castle. I saw the amazing features of the Sheikah Slate made by my ancient ancestors 10,000 years ago. I had then figured out how they created ancient material by simply creating it with the Sheikah Slate. I also found the plans for a different looking guardian, exactly what I wanted, the only problem being that it was stationary. I began excavating the once mobile guardians. Once I fully excavated a guardian, I put it on a carriage and someone helped me because two horses were needed to pull a guardian. Once I got to Hateno Village, I removed the head of the guardian and used my Sheikah Slate to create the head of the guardian I saw in the plans from 10,000 years ago. I had figured out how to make the head raise when it fires, and lower when not. I touched the Sheikah Slate to the underside and it activated. I could use my Sheikah Slate to control the guardian that I call MrGuardian. I had advanced enough that I could live in Castle Town, right in front of Hyrule Castle.

I decided not to waste time using the trail and cut through Ash Swamp but I saw MrGuardian’s head tower over mine as I discovered a lynel inhabiting the place. MrGuardian won the battle being 10,000 years old. I galloped through Hyrule Field but quickly took cover as MrGuardian’s head rose and I had my Edge of Duality drawn. Some bokoblins found me but I had a sword so dispatching them was no problem. I eventually got to Castle Town and settled in a fairly large home and/or tech lab. There was a large amount of ancient energy beneath Hyrule Castle so I could continue my research on guardians.

A few days later, MrGuardian was pulsing but his head did not rise. Me and MrGuardian stepped outside to see Calamity Ganon, the ancient evil of legend, above Hyrule Castle. Malice shoots from its body like shooting stars from the sky. A few minutes later, corrupted guardians under Ganon’s influence destroyed my home town. I quickly hid beneath MrGuardian but a corrupted guardian noticed me. MrGuardian quickly raised and turned his head and fired a beam thrice consecutively at its eye and killed it. MrGuardian went all the way to Dueling Peaks Stable when a bubble of light tossed rocks and debris, Zelda is the only person that had that ability. I left MrGuardian behind and saw the broken guardian hulls and figured out why that happened. I brought Link to the Shrine of Resurrection and returned to MrGuardian and settled back at Hateno Village like nothing happened at all.

Once I got used to Hateno Village again, Me and MrGuardian headed toward Kakariko Village, home of most remaining Sheikah. I decided to protect the village from the Yiga Clan,

who were once Sheikah, but swore their allegiance to Ganon.

100 years later, Link finally awoke and I finally returned to Hateno Village to discover Purah, a Sheikah scientist that studied the Sheikah Slate inhabiting my home. Apparently, she created an anti-aging rune and therefore looked like a six year old. I wanted to be anti aged so I did and stayed at the inn until I looked like a nine year old. I then moved to Kakariko Village because there wasn’t really anywhere else in Necluda other than the stable but I didn’t want to spend my life feeding livestock. Near Fort Hateno, a guardian activated but was stationary, so I just got out of its line of sight. After ignoring active guardians, I made it to Kakariko Village. Sadly, there was not a significant source of ancient energy in West Necluda, so I couldn’t continue my research. Some Yiga Clan member appeared and was disguised as a traveler but looked suspicious. I drew my 100 year old Edge of Duality, then suddenly, the traveler turned into a Yiga footsoldier armed with a Demon Carver. I took it out with three hits with a 100 year old weapon. The shrine near the guardian spirit of the village had started to glow, but that was probably made for the ancient hero of legend.

A few days later, the giant rain cloud above Lanayru had disappeared, which probably meant that Link had freed Divine Beast Vah Ruta. A few minutes later, and a red laser is beaming towards Hyrule Castle, probably the Divine Beast aiming at Calamity Ganon. An hour later and the Sheikah Tower closest to the Gerudo Desert began glowing neon blue instead of orange. I was really tempted to go into the shrine but I was too late as Link had already completed it. Suddenly, the Sheikah heirloom was stolen, I searched the entire premises of the village but found no signs of the Yiga Clan. At 10:00 PM, Dorian, one of Impa’s guards, left his post suspiciously. Link was following at a safe distance and I ran up to and behind the shrine. Dorian went over to the ancient Sheikah pedestal and a Yiga blademaster appeared and I drew my sword, but Link defeated it no problem. Suddenly, a shrine appeared. I started to travel to Hyrule Castle, which I was probably powerful enough to do since I had a guardian on my side. I remained cautious at all times, especially in Hyrule Field, which was crawling with corrupted guardians. I hid beneath MrGuardian and entered the castle.

I found the guardian that was in the plans I read 100 years ago, but it didn’t have legs like MrGuardian. I got some great gear but it had crappy durability so I just stuck to my Edge of Duality. I got my hands on some awesome arrows called ancient arrows. The only enemies other than corrupted guardians were lizalfos, moblins and lynels, no bokoblins. Those ancient arrow things kill guardians in one hit if hit in the eye and even lynels are vaporized.

I eventually returned home to get a Phrenic Bow to use those ancient arrow things. I knew that there was a tech lab in Akkala so I traveled there but all I found was a machine that had a hylian/sheikah looking face. Then I got close to it when a member of the Sheikah told me to step away from “Cherry” which was the name he gave the machine. He said he could make those ancient arrow things but the blue flame was dying down so I had to act fast. I got as many as I could but the blue flame went out when I made my tenth exchange. At least I got 50 of those ancient arrow things. I didn’t use them that often, in fact, I only use them for corrupted guardians when MrGuardian is stunned and unable to attack. I got some guardian parts and I made my way to Akkala Ancient Tech Lab to see the blue flame restored. It was probably Link who was the person who restored it. I got as many ancient arrows as my rupees got me.

I found out that there was a significant source of ancient energy in Deep Akkala, so I could continue my research if I wanted to live in the Akkala region, which has little members of the Sheikah. I’d go to ask Hudson to build me a home right near the corrupted guardian that “guards” the tech lab and I kill it with MrGuardian or an ancient arrow. Then, I can use the blue flame from the main lab to basically try to re-activate the guardian as our ally. If I can get a guardian stalker that I killed to it, I could create an army of guardians and restore Hyrule to its peaceful state. But this would take a lot of time, I would have to research any ways to reactivate a guardian. I will use the guardian my lab was built around as a test subject for any ways I come across.

I heard that the Yiga Clan stole some heirloom from the Gerudo. I headed toward the Gerudo Desert and followed a suspicious traveler to the hideout. When I came in, I saw a Gerudo guard locked up in a cell. I tried to cut it open with my sword but the Yiga used some Edge-of-Duality-proof material because I didn’t make a dent in that metal. I tried to fight the Yiga but I didn’t do well and was saved at the last second by Link, the Hylian Champion. I got out of that place as quickly as possible. I knew it had something to do with the Divine Beast Vah Naboris. I headed back to Akkala in disappointment to have not recovered the heirloom.

Now, you’re probably thinking that I should have used an ancient arrow on the Yiga. I didn’t want to waste them at all, so there's your answer. The next day, I traveled to the Gerudo Desert and headed to the Kara Kara Bazaar and then stared at the sandstorm that Vah Naboris was kicking up, wondering when Link was gonna free it. I snuck up on a sand seal near Gerudo Town and took it for a ride. I went to the building near the sandstorm and stayed there when Link approached it on a sand seal, then he prepared and then went into the sandstorm to appease Naboris. I went back to Akkala to research guardians. The next day, I head to the desert and see that the sandstorm has cleared, probably indicating that Link had freed Vah Naboris.

I returned to Akkala and began researching ways to take back my friend: the destroyed guardian. The next day, I saw that some projectiles were being fired at Divine Beast Vah Rudania. Hours later, the smoke cloud above Death Mountain disappeared as Vah Rudania slid into the crater. I tried touching my Sheikah Slate to the bottom of my test subject like I did with MrGuardian but it did not work. I had been studying guardians for years, but I still haven’t gotten very far. I saw the next day that Vah Rudania was freed and aiming at Ganon. The Gorons don’t have meteor showers anymore.

I for the first time, looked at my Sheikah Slate and saw that there was a rune to activate guardians. I pointed this rune at my test subject and it worked. Now I’m going to be safe and not activate any more guardians until Ganon is dead. I moved back to Kakariko Village because I’m done with my research. A few days later, Link headed here to probably report to Impa that all four Divine Beasts are freed.
