Chapter 1 - Reawakening and A Treasure Hunter.

"Open your eyes…"

The water drained slowly as he did what the mysterious voice asked of him. Soon, the world around him swam to life. The first thing that came into his vision was the ceiling of the room that he found himself in.

"Wake up, Link" A voice echoed in his head.

Link rose from his lying position and gazed around the room. Wherever he was. It was pretty high tech. But it also looked ancient somehow. Like, old but not to old. He didn't understand where he was, or how he got there. Something told him that he wouldn't even know his own name had the pretty voice in his head not directly said it.

Upon climbing out of the chamber that he was sleeping in. He looked at it and thought that it looked more like a coffin then anything. Why was he in such a thing?

He gazed around the room once again trying to find a way out, when a pedestal began to open up. He cautiously walked over to the strange device. Inside the device was a slab of rock that looked like it was more than just a slab. Upon closer investigation, the rock had a bunch of orange runes engraved into it. It also had a glowing eye in the center. He felt that the eye was staring right into his very soul. Like it was some sort of All Seeing Eye or something.

Link began to think that he wasn't all that imaginative.

"That. Is a Sheikah Slate. Take it. It'll help guide you after your long slumber." The voice echoed in his head.

"Long slumber? What does that mean?" He asked out loud.

He was a little shocked at the sound of his own voice. But also slightly relieved that the voice in his head was not his own. Then the horror of realization that the voice in his head was not his own set in.

Link picked up the Sheikah Slate with trembling hands. If it wasn't his own thoughts in his head. Then whose thoughts were they?

After he picked up the Sheikah Slate the wall next to him began to rise to show off a new area for him to enter. Link blinked slowly at this feat.

"Alrighty then…" He drawled out.

It was then that Link noticed that he was wearing nothing but his undergarments. He blushed slightly before looking around. After doing this he facepalmed. There was no one else here.

Link entered the new area to see a few boxes and barrels that looked like they had been sitting here for a long while. Among the rotting containers were two stone chests. Curiosity got the best of him and he opened the two chests to find some old and worn clothes. Deciding that Something was better than nothing. Link put the clothes on.

After dressing himself Link saw another pedestal sitting next to another large door. He got closer to it, unsure of what to do. Until the voice from before answered his unspoken question.

"Hold the Sheikah Slate up to the pedestal. That will show you the way."

Link did what the voice said and as soon as he did the entire room began to shake. The door opens to reveal a large beam of light -that was clearly the sun- shining into the room.

"Link. You are the light-Our light-that must shine upon Hyrule once again...Now, go…" The voice said as it faded from his mind.

After a few silent minutes Link said:

"Well, that was vague."

Before walking up the stairs and climbing out of his holding area. Once freed into the wild outside world, Link walked to the edge of the hill that he was on, to gaze upon this Hyrule that the voice asked him to save.

~~Elsewhere~~

Two Hylians climbed their way up to the top of the Great Plateau. As soon as they got on top of the tall landmass the second of the two collapsed into a heap of clothes and grunts of pain and discomfort.

The first just stood there with his hands on his knees. He looked over to his companion, who was lying there staring at the sky with a glare of hatred and laughed goodnaturedly.

"Oh, come on sis. It wasn't that bad." He said between gasps of breath.

"Up yours, Nate," Was her exhausted reply.

"Heh, Lara, You were the one who wanted to see what I did for a living, this is it. I go out hunting for treasure. And the Great Plateau has GOT to have some!" The man said, while waving his hands around them

"You made me climb up a literal Wall and you don't even know if there's anything here!?" She exclaimed.

The elder of the two laughed a little before running a hand through his short auburn brown hair. He adjusted the backpack that rested on the back of his purple tunic. He dusted his hands off on his black trousers and then walked over to his younger sister. His sea green eyes sparkled with a childlike mirth before he held his hand for Lara to take.

Lara's blue eyes landed on her older brother's green ones before she raised her hand and flashed her middle finger in his face. Nate chuckled at this and waited patiently for her to get her breath back. She then grabbed his hand and let him heave her up off the ground. She then dusted herself off. She fixed her quiver from falling off her waist and dusted the grass off of her blue tunic. She checked her trousers to see if they needed to be replaced. And low and behold there were a few holes in her once perfect brown trousers. She sighed and fixed the bag on her back before following after her over eager older brother. As she caught up with him she fixed the ponytail that she had put her hair in. She heard her brother whistling that stupid tune that their mother always used to call their horses back to them.

She remembered that their mother had called it "Epona's Song". And that apparently, a member of their bloodline had once written this song for the Hero of Hyrule so that he could call his horse to him no matter where he was with his Ocarina.

She hates that song now thanks to Nathan.

"Nathan Avalon if you do not stop whistling that song I won't make dinner tonight!" She threatened.

Nate stopped whistling immediately.

He turned around and began to walk backwards so he could look at her and say:

"That's a low blow sis!"

Lara scoffed at the face he was making. He always got like this, ever since they lost their parents to the last blood moon. Nate feared for his stomach if he had to cook for himself.

Lara hated that she wanted to come with him on this little adventure of his.

Neither had noticed the old man that was watching them. That was until a hearty laugh echoed from above them. Nate's stature changed immediately, he went from calm and relaxed to what Lara could only describe as 'Battle-Mode' within the span of half a second. Nate whipped out his sword and shield quickly and a stern glare graced his normally smiling face.

He looked to his sister and waved his hand away from him as if to say 'Back up. I don't want you to get hurt' Lara's eyes widened when a old man suddenly materialized behind her brother.

"What in the name of Hylia!?" She exclaimed while pointing at the old man.

Nate turned to see an old man with a large white beard looking at him with a friendly smile. All the old man had on him was some black clothes and a cane with a lantern on it. The old man let out another hearty laugh before saying:

"I usually don't get visitors up here. Just where did you two younglings come from?"

Nate didn't put his weapon away but he did respond.

"We're from Heteno Village."

The old man got a misty look in his eyes, as if he was remembering something

"Ah, Heteno, I remember that place. You two wouldn't possibly be from the Avalon bloodline would you?" He stated.

Nate just nodded.

"Ah, good. I'm glad that they are still kicking. Tell me, what brings you here?" He pressed.

"We're adventurers. Well, I am. She's still learning. The Great Plateau is one of the most mysterious places in all of Hyrule. Second only to the death trap that is Hyrule Castle. But no way in hell I'd take my inexperienced sister there. I haven't even gone there myself." Nate told the old man.

The old man just nodded absently. He then turned away from Nate and Lara.

"I have a feeling that your being here isn't by chance. Maybe your fate is meant to align with another's…" He said crypticly.

After finally deeming the old man was not a threat, Nate sheathed his sword and shield.

"What are you talking about?" Lara questioned from behind her brother.

"You know. I'm not even sure. Maybe it's nothing. Just the crazy ramblings of an old man. Or maybe it's the truth. And maybe the both of you are meant for more, much more." He said as he walked away.

Nate looked behind him towards Lara and raised his left eyebrow as if to say 'what is happening right now?'

She just simply shrugged before following the old man.

Nate squinted his eyes before following as well. Who knows. Maybe this could lead to some awesome loot?
