[Shad]

<sub>It was yet another late night for the avid learner. The dream chaser. Shad spent much of his time like this. Locked away in the Hylian Public Library, late at night, with only a candle to light his way. Soon there'd be no candle. The wick was almost completely gone, and almost all of the wax had dripped over the sides. Shad would be enclosed in darkness in but a few moments.

But would he notice? Probably not. He was already drifting off into lala land. His eyes would slowly close and his head would nod, his chin drifting closer to the pages of his father's journal... But then he'd suddenly snap awake with a startled look. This happened a few times before he finally stretched his arms in the air and yawned loudly.

With a lateral stretch to each side, he continued his search in the books in front of him. Shad wanted so desperately to learn of the ancient sky people. He wanted to know everything about them! Absolutely everything! Even if he had read his father's journal a million times over, and checked out the books in the library dozens of times, he still felt there was something missing. Something he wasn't quite getting.

His thirst for knowledge would never be over until he found out everything he could about the Oocca.

Of course, that would mean raiding the books in the Royal Library...

Something he doubted would ever happen.

Shad leaned back in his chair and placed his hands behind his head. If only I could just peek at those books... I wonder what wonders they hold.

That was a dream for Shad. But the Dream Chaser wouldn't give up his dream so easily.

With a shake of his head, he yawned softly and went back to his studies. He only got a moment's reading in when suddenly, everything went dark.

"Oh, drat."

Now what was he to do?</sub>
