[glow=green,2,300]This is where Princess Zelda is often seen taking care of her flowers. The garden is lush and beautiful, with a large, colorful array of plant-life. A spectacular sight to see if you are ever invited in. [/glow]

It only took a few minutes to reach the gardens, a happy smile clear on Zelda's face once they got there. "Thank you," She commented to her bodyguard, stepping over to where some of the maids were watering the plants. Gloved fingers reached out to grab two watering cans, handing one to Jekahl. "Make sure to only give them a small amount of water each, these plants are sensitive so if they receive too much, they'll drown," The princess made sure her tone was laced with concern, moving over an untouched section of the garden.

Jekahl smiled happily in return. He rather enjoyed helping the princess in her garden. It had to be the most peaceful place in the world.
He carefully took the watering can and nodded to Zelda's instructions. "Of course." The Sheikah responded with a slight laugh in his tone.

Sapphire optics remained on Jekahl for a moment, making sure he followed her instructions. She trusted him with her life, but men never had a real knack for taking care of plants. But she trained him well enough to know what he was doing. The happy smile came back to her lips, focusing on watering her own side of plants.

Jekahl carefully watered as per Zelda's instructions, being careful not to drown these as he had so many others. He was a born warrior...not a gardener. But his princess had, indeed, trained him well.
He smiled contently as the garden seemed to bloom into life with the passing of the minutes they spent there. "You have done well with your garden, Princess." Her bodyguard observed, taking the water off of the lilac he'd been serving.

"Thank you, but you know I couldn't have done it without the proper help," Zelda smiled over at her guard, a pleasant feature still playing at her face. It was so nice to be around good company, for a long time she thought she would be stuck alone in the palace. Even though her Father didn't understand why, he always let her go out to help their towns people. "There we are," The princess commented happily, placing the watering can down once she finished.

Atreyu sood in one of the archways to the garden, he had been given a new asignment, "Jekahl, I need a word with you," the fellow Shika said, he gave no notice to the Princess.

"And I couldn't have helped without the proper teachings." He returned her smile as always. "When did you wish to visit the city? Is there a certain time you want to arrive, or is it just an impromtu trip to aid the citizens-" Jekahl took his attention off of the princess for a moment, hearing his name.
"Excuse me a moment, Princess. I won't be long."
He turned, seeing his fellow Sheikah in the archways. With a pleasent, rather surprised smile, he nodded. "Atreyu! I haven't seen you in ages." He said, walking towards the man. "What is it? You seem distraught.."

"Come with me," the warrior said heading for one of the deserted hallways, before turning to Jekahl, "I have come to know something very disturbing concerning you and this royal family."

Jekahl followed, listening intently. His face grew serious.
"....Disturbing? What do you mean, Atreyu. I have lived with this family since the princess was a baby...I know everything about this family...I know nothing disturbing concerning it..." He explained, defending the family he'd come to love as his own.

Atreyu quickly drew a small consealed dagger, driving it into the other's chest, then withdrawing the blade hiding it quickly. Just in time for one of the maid-servants to scream, "The King is dead!!"

Sapphire optics dilated as she heard the maid's words, her heart racing in silent panic. She wanted to speak, she wanted to call out to Jekahl, but he had left with his friend...didn't he? He said he would be right back, but Zelda couldn't wait that long. Without saying a word the watering can slipped from her fingers, dashing up to the palace entrance in attempts to find her Father.

"Wha-" Before Jekahl had time to respond, he felt the twinge of the blade sink deep into his chest. "At..reyu..." He gasped for breath, his mind hadn't processed the shock of betrayal.
He fell to his knees, and leaned forward on a shaking arm, the other hand clutching his wound.
A harsh cough resulted in blood splattering the floor. He heard the maid only dimly, distantly. His vision blurred slightly. "Atreyu....why...did you...?"

"It had to be done Jekahl, I'm just sorry you had to be the sacrifice," sighed Atreyu, turning away from the dying man.

Jekahl, one eye squinted, stood shakily and gripped his chest. His teeth gritted, he tore off the face mask he always wore around his neck, using the strip to wrap his chest quickly, sloppily.
With that he wiped his mouth and took off after Atreyu. He could not allow harm to come to the princess. He dashed, his vision blacking out every now and then for only a second, into the castle.
