AN: This is my first published OC story. So...yeah. Some opinions may vary. The prologue is optional to read. It's just there for readers to get a grasp on the plot. This will, however, be a Zelda fanfic during the Ocarina of Time period. So don't get your panties in a wad. I am already three chapters ahead of the game, but I am checking for spelling errors or anything not grammatically correct for your convenience. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy.

"In this world, ruin and chaos throws eternity out of balance. Humanity knows no difference. For all we are concerned, peace is shattered. The blue of the world is empty - blackened by greed. The colors are ruthless. Centuries fight - Time versus Eternity is an endless battle, one we cannot, nor ever will, win..."
"Make a wish," the woman with a shady face said to the girl.
The meteors flew delightfully through the night sky, all sorts of colors following suit. The speed was impressive to the small girl who watched the meteors race. She felt like she was watching colors from every corner of the world come together. It was an amazing beauty that struck her with awe. She often wondered if she would have a similar experience within her lifetime, or if it was a rare, eventful thing. Whatever it was, the girl was simply happy. She was usually rather cheerful, but other times she was grumpy. She could be short-tempered, even if she didn't realize herself.
Crowds and festivities of all sorts gathered fashionably from all parts of the world (even though it was visible to every eye to man) just to see the climax of the stars at the girl's hometown in a large New York town. Traffic was unbearable. She laughed as the entertainers cracked jokes, and others doing so terrible, it was almost too humorous for her to perceive any other of her surroundings. There were several law enforcement officers trotting about, making sure that the crowds kept under control. She was silent through most of it
"Oh! Um...I wish for-" the young girl started.
"Ah!" the woman cut the girl off. "It has to be a silent wish. You can't say it out loud, Grace."
Grace was eight at the time and had very little recollection. She nodded, and stared up as dozens passed her eyes by the second. She clasped her hands together, and closed her eyes. She knew without a doubt what she desired. She asked comfortably and determinedly. She whispered it silently, still murmuring it, but to where she couldn't even hear her own voice. She found solace in repeating her wish with her own words.
"Aunt Carol?" Grace asked as she finally opened her eyes. The crowds were rather loud and it was hard for Grace to get her voice across. During the highlights of the show, however, the silence was replaced with awe.
"Yes?" Aunt Carol asked. Grace met the eyes of the other woman, and smiled. "How often does this happen?" As though she already was expecting the question among that sort, Aunt Carol proceeded. "Legend says whenever the colors align with enough hearts of blue."
What did she mean by blue? The hearts of blue. Those words echoed within her subconscious for minutes, as Grace strained through her thoughts trying to figure out whatever significance it held. She thought hearts were red. How many different colored hearts could possibly exist? She bit her lip, and figured she might ask before the thought slips away into deep conversation. She turned to her aunt who held a camera, snapping all sorts of frames and shots as she could gather.
"Blue?" Grace asked with some confusion.
"It's an urban legend. I'll tell you when you're older."
"Aunt Carol!" Grace snapped.
"Just enjoy the showers." Grace silenced herself. And so they did. Grace thought that the meteors lit up the night sky with beauty. That's when she saw it. The first blue meteor. Just one. Only one.
AN: Sorry this chapter was so short. Like I said, it's more or less for plot purposes. My other chapters are much more lengthy. I hope that's a good thing. Before anyone is skeptical and assumes Grace's wish is to visit the Zelda Universe or anything oblivious along those lines or meet Link or blah blah blah, no. Her wish wasn't added for a reason. I'll reveal it in due time haha. Anyways, enjoy. Read/Review.
