She gets caught

Sheik pulled her face covering higher on her nose as she gazed upon Gerudo's Fortress. The stout buildings jutted out from the sheer cliffs of the valley, they brickwork matched the stone of the cliffs, making the weather surface of the fortress blend into the desert environment. As Sheik looked on from her perch she made mental notes of where the guards were making their rounds. The warrior women were dressed in purple, Sheik could count six of them just outside the fortress itself.

Sheik had been planning to infiltrate the fortress for some time now. After all, it was Ganondorf's home before he conquered Hyrule. With any luck the fortress would contain some weapon or information that would be useful against Ganondorf, Sheik thought to herself.

She took a deep, slow breath, before putting her training to use. She moved across the loose sand of the valley, barely a shadow across its surface. She approached one of the guards silently, before passing behind her as unnoticed as the wind itself. Sheik stepped across the last few meters between her and the fortress before she was inside. She didn't even leave footprints.

The fortress was clearly carved out of the rock, Sheik thought as she descended deeper into its stone workings. There were Gerudo women all throughout the fortress, and they were all armed. Sheik slowly, and silently passed by them, her footsteps inaudible against the floor. She did her best to remember the layout of the fortress but even to a trained sheikah like her, the layout was designed to confuse intruders.

Sheik stepped through yet another doorway, only to see that she had made it to a deadend. The room contained a large cell opposite the door and while the cell itself was sparsely furbished, the room outside of it had plenty of places to lounge, with cushions and blankets lining the floor. This was clearly a room for the fortress' occupants to lounge in, but Sheik took one last look around it before she decided to double back. However, that was when she felt a blade against her throat.

Sheik heard the voice of the blade's owner whispering in her ear, "Care to explain what you're doing in our territory, spy." She said the last word like an insult.
