The cerulean glow of the Sheikah Slate lit her face as Princess Zelda paced back and forth in her room. It was late, the sky dark but littered with twinkling stars, the moon, a silver disk hanging in the sky, flooding the kingdom of Hyrule in its soft glow on the night of it's crown princess's 13th birthday.
