The Legend of Zelda: The Eternal Protector
Chapter 1: The King Returns
Hi, my name is Max. I'm 15 and it's the year 2008 and I have the worst life ever!
I live with three older siblings and they all have some special talent, except me.
I live in Colorado but I don't like the snow. I have to go to a school where my friends, Peter and John, have to deal with ignorant people.
Ok enough introductions. On with the story!

It was the first day of spring break; Max and John were going to meet at Peter's house.
"Did we have to bring so much crap?" whined John as they took the stuff out of the mini van.
"Just shut up and unload the damn car." ordered my older brother, Jimmy.
"Ok, that's everything." said Max as he took his bag out of the front seat.
"Remember, Max," started Jimmy as he pulled out of the drive way, "don't break anything." And he drove off.
"Is he always a jerk?" laughed Peter as he opened the door to let Max and John in.
"No, only to me." replied Max.
They walked inside and set everything aside in the living room. Peter's place wasn't big, but it was big enough to put their stuff in and still have enough room to play the Wii.
"Man, I can't wait until Brawl comes out." said Max as he turned the Wii on and began playing Twilight Princess.
"Link kicks ass, dude." said Peter as he played Phantom Hourglass.
XXXXXX
An hour or two later.
"I'm hungry." said Max as he turned off the Wii.
"Well, we can make that frozen pizza that's in the fridge." said John as he appeared from the kitchen.
"Alright, let's go make it." said Peter as he closed his DS.

Some time around 10 o' clock, Max's cell phone went off.
"Hello?" he spoke into the phone.
"Hey, sweety, how're you doing?" asked the voice.
"Oh, hi mom, I'm doing fine. Why?" he responded.
"Well, your father found something while on his diving expedition in Europe. We're going to the museum to go see it." She said.
"Alright mom." said Max as he hung up the phone.
"What happened?" asked John as he came out of the kitchen with the pizza in hand.
"It was my mom. Seems that dad found another useless old piece of crap." said Max as he turned the Wii back on.
XXXXXX
The next morning Max and his family went over to the museum.
The museum was new and it was very large.
It had many strange objects.
There was a white, round looking flute in one of the exhibits. Max couldn't shake the feeling that he had a flute like that before.
There was strange writing on what looked like pieces of a castle wall.
There was an old decrepit and rusted shield with what looked like a red bird as its symbol.
But what really everyone came to see was a large mound of rock with a purple handle sticking out.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we bring you this magnificent structure. It is said to be 1500 years old." Spoke the man on a podium.
"What a piece of crap. We wasted our time to see a handle bar sticking out of a piece of dirt?" complained Max's sister, Samantha.
"I wasted my time for that!?" exclaimed Max as they drove back to the house.
"Now, Max, you know it's very important for your father to bring stuff like that. It's what puts food on the table." said Max's mom.

Somewhere in the mountains near Aspen.
Dark smoke appeared from a strange rock with three triangles inscribed into it.
"Our king shall rise again, soon. The time is almost upon them my brethren!" spoke a dark creature as skeletons and monsters arose.
XXXXXX
It was late in the night when Max awoke with a staggering pain on his right hand.
"Ow, ugh, my hand." He grunted, "What's with my birth mark?"
His triangle looking birth mark glowed intensely, but then the light dimmed down and the pain stopped.
"I gotta tell Peter about this." He said as he picked up his cell phone.
XXXXXX
"Seriously?" asked Peter and john, confused and not able to believe Max's story.
They were at the junk yard, their usual meeting spot for when weird things happen.
"I'm serious! My hand started to glow and it hella hurt." Said Max.
Then from nowhere, monsters and skeletons appeared! They surrounded the three.
"What the hell are these things!" exclaimed John as the three pushed their way passed the skeletons.
"I don't know! Just keep running!" said Max as he jumped over a piece of metal.
They ran all through the city. For some reason, time has stopped. Everyone just stood frozen.
"Why is everyone not moving!?" asked John as they tried opening doors to escape their pursuers.
The only building that was open, by some strange coincidence, was the museum.
The monsters were close behind them. They broke the glass and ran after the boys.
The boys made it to the center of the museum when they became surrounded by the monsters.
The monsters grabbed John and Peter.
"No!" screamed Max from on top of the stone mound.
He saw the handle stuck into the rock and automatically pulled on it.
He pulled hard and the handle revealed to be a sword, light poured from the hole where it was pulled from. The monsters backed away as the light hurt them. Then the large stone mound shattered.
From the stone mound came a large person in black armor and orange hair. He was a dark skinned person with evil yellow eyes.
He looked at Max and then he disappeared into a cloud of smoke.
XXXXXX
Max awoke from his dream sweating. He looked around the room and looked at the clock. It said 3:27.
Then he felt his hand grab onto something.
The sword was in his hand.
