There may be some references to the characters she owns and I will make sure to give credit where it is due. So all in all.

Prolog
Darkness. I see an endless void below my bare feet and before my eyes. Looking around I see nothing that may resemble any form of life. However I know I am not alone. Getting the feeling I must run, I do so only to find myself running forever in an eternal loop within the deep void. I then hear dark hoarse laughter encouraging me to run faster. However it never leaves me and at one point I trip on seemingly nothingness. Looking down at the black ground I see a black boot. I don't dare follow the rest of it out of fear of what it may be. Out of the corner of my eye I see the tip of a crimson katana. And a horrifying whisper that comes from its wielder.
"I'm coming for you, Boy", and the tip vanishes as I await the burning pain from the sword going through my heart. My eyes dart open as I jump up from my bed. I place a furiously shaking hand over the place I felt the imaginary sword pierce. Waiting for about five straight minutes I get out of bed and rubbing my stinging eyes I stumble over to the vanity in my room.
The vision I see isn't surprising in the least. I see the same short white rats nest I call hair. The same unusually accursed sky blue as my left eye and a titanium steel for my right. My pointed Hylian ears. My soft feminine face with my small nose. The soft scowl on my lips as I inspect further upon myself. Deciding I need to change my clothing I walk into my closet to see just one pair of my casual attire. Reaching my quivering hand to pick up the old gray shirt. Taking off my previous shirt I see my small figure and feel disgusted. Quickly putting on the shirt I gasp. There seems to be a black welt where the katana pierces me. I hastily put my light blue short sleeved shirt on not wanting to see the unusual welt from the dream. I take off my sleep pants and quickly put on my light blue knee high shorts. I catch a glace at the strange birth mark I have on the back of my hand. It seems to be three triangles with their tips touching. I feel if you fold them you get a prism without a bottom. Sighing, I grab my gloves from the wardrobe and put those on. Before I leave I sneak a glance at the wall I used to measure my height signifying that I am five feet, one inch tall. I feel very short.
Looking in the mirror again to only to look away not wanting to observe myself further, quickly I head for my door. Pressing my ear against it to see if there is anyone waiting to surprise me. Nothing. I open the door carefully and step out into a small palisade camp. There are about seven other wooden houses scatters around the palisade walls. Some housing about three or four people while two of the houses fit enough for one person. The reason for this is because I have developed a strong fear of people. However the people here are Hylians and I for some reason don't fear them. Probably because I look up to see the sun rising slowly above the treetops to the east. In the middle of all this is a small campfire currently being lit by three people. They never seems important to me so I never bothered to ask for their names. Some people keep calling me a mute and a carbon copy of a hero in a far off land. I feel as if they are joking around with me. Although I can speak, I choose not to in fear of being criticized or threatened. Though I doubt the people here would do this. These people care too much for the inhabitants here within the palisade walls.
"Skyler, can you help with the fire?" a man shouts at me from the small fire pit. I slowly nod as I walk over to them. They ask if I can get it working and with a quick nod I get the fire up in about ten minutes.
"Man Sky, your a lifesaver" the middle man says and walks away probably to wake his family. Its my job to catch the food with my sword trainer, Zachary. He is a boy around seventeen with dirty blond hair that seems to go behind him in a tattered mess, he usually has a blue tunic on with an iron shoulder plate. A belt wraps loosely around his back to carry his twin blades, which he names as Rage and Hope. His bright blue eyes shine with apathy. His unusually rounded ears signifying his unknown race. He has leather pants on and a belt around that with a pouch strung behind it. His gray gloves fit comfortably on his hands. His brown combat boots upon the feet. He is five feet, six inches tall. He seems to have a scowl considering he is always making people laugh. Sometimes he will go on about made up stories of him killing undead gods larger than three hundred mountains tall. Sometimes he will talk about a fake guild he used to be a leader of. He seems so mentally unstable that I fear for his sanity. He is excellent with the sword though as he has tough me the basics and is currently teaching me some strange moves that involve a magic blade. Although me mumbles stuff about not wanting to break a fourth wall. I will never understand that boy.
However today we are to go hunting to bring back food for the camp. I have gathered my sword and shield. My sword is a standard mercenaries blade. Nothing intricate just a plain old broad sword. And the shield seems to he some kind of blue kite shield with fades designs and patterns. It seems to relate to an ancient relic in a far off land called Hyrule. Zachary gave it to me for my birthday three years ago and said it was funny and ironic that I was given this. He comes out of his small shack of a house with a black bow carried in the crook of his arm. I lightly chuckle as I see him in pants that seem to have one pants leg and another is shorts leg. I see strange metal on the bottom of the shorts side but I wave it off as probably a combat thing.
Seeing as we are all geared up we leave to go hunting. We trek through the forest silently. His bow fully drawn as if ready to shoot. After about two minutes of us waiting we finally see an elk walk into view.
He smiles and drops the bow in my hands. I almost fall back and manage to not make noise. I look at him with panicked eyes and he whispers, "Trust me Skyler, your going to need to learn how to use a bow. Someday you will thank me and understand why I train you." he stops them mumbles, "And I feel that day coming faster than a bolt of lighting being thrown from Zyphr's Hand". He chuckles to himself about what he said. How could a man throw a lightning bolt? Although I push it to the side as I take aim at the elk. I look at Zachary and he makes the motion I am doing and pretends to let the arrow fly. I try to pull the bow back fully but I cannot as my arms are far to weak to do it. Trying one last time I fall on my butt and the elk begins to dart away. In one swift movement I see a spear launch into the air from thin air and run the beast through. I am about to ask where that came from until I see Zachary spring from our hiding spot and run over to the carcase. He pulls the javelin from our future dinners corpse and somehow puts it in a pouch behind his back. Afterwords he hauls it over his shoulder before heading back to camp. I look at him as if saying 'will it be enough?'. He seams to get the message and shrugs, "Who knows" I see smoke in the distance and by the looks on my Trainer's face he can too. We begin to run towards the place that seams to be on fire. Let it be known that the encampment I was staying as is a raging inferno of destruction and death. The corpses of the kind people who gave me a home charred, some with their necks slit from a small blade. I see the door to my house fly open as a cloaked figure walks out shouting, "Where is she!"
Zachary takes a pouch from his belt and hands it to me before advancing on this lunatic. He draws his twin blades as he walks and holds them to his neck and heart. I cannot hear what they are saying but I see the shady man begin to laugh in what seems of joy. He spots me and I see his deep yellow cat-like eyes shimmer with hope, then dim with disbelief and finally burn with anger.
The man mutters something and I see my trainer mutter something back, then he lets go of his right sword. Holding his right hand out towards me I see a violet light envelop me vision. The bright light dissipates and I see I am standing in some kind of ruins. The walls are covered in cracks with moss and vines protruding from said fractures. Turning around I see two statues standing beside a large archway. My guess is that leads out. Turning back around I observe the ginormous door about 10 feet tall. It seems to have six chains wrapped around it in some way. For two chain per lock. Walking over to the three locks I notice an inscription carved in ancient Hylian into the door.
The inscription reads Triangulate Hyrule, it will point you to the keys. Listen to the hums of Fate to open the path to each Key. Then return to the point of origin to claim your sacred duty. I don't quite know what this means but before I can contemplate what this prophecy means everything finally catches up to me. Knowing the kind people of the Yriel Enclave are all dead and my belonging. My memories and most importantly …. my home. Gone. Knowing my life has been terrible up until now I'm now finally understanding that my life will never get any better. I will always be an orphan and any communication with me usually means death. The depressing life I know I have is enough to make me want to throw up. However all I can ever do is silently cry. Its all I seem to be good for.
After about three minutes I come to my senses and wonder why I was sent here and by all means … how? Not truly understanding what the wall is trying to tell I slowly creep out from the strange sanctuary to find it utterly surrounded by stone. It was as if someone carved out a small block from the doorway and that's it.
I groan aloud, "How am I suppose to get out of this one?"
Unsure of how to escape I begin to search the stone prison, attempting to find some form of secret door. An unknown amount of time goes by as I try to push on the stone wall across from the archway of the tomb like building. I hear something that sounds like cracking. Suddenly the wall in front of me comes crashing down by some unseen force. Something strikes my head hard and before I know it I slip into unconsciousness.
I slowly open my eyes to find myself covered in rubble. Oh great now what? I ask myself mentally. I try to pick myself up and I feel a blistering pain on my everywhere. Ugh I feel like crap. I get up only to feel that pain flare up. Unable to keep pushing on I fall back down. Looking around I try to figure out what is damaged. It seams one of the rocks struck my head because I can taste the blood in my mouth and feel it near my left eye. My right arm may be either broken or fractured. My legs are buried so I assume they are either broken or worse. Although the main part is I'm alive. I mentally say.
Looking ahead of me I can see the wall opened up into what seams to be some kind of sewer system. How long I have been here is unknown to me and If I can get out I'm definitely gonna need to rest. I try to lift myself up again but to no avail. I try one last time and I slowly rise out of the rubble and draw my sword to use as a walking stick. Strange but effective. Slowly making my way through the sewers I finally find a strange indent into the wall. I look around the indent to see if maybe its going to collapse again. However instead I push a brick in and the wall moving sideways to reveal and old wooden door. I open it to what seems like a wine cellar with no wine. It seams to have been placed so one cannot spot this door easily however I reach the other end of the room and open this door. Stairs rest in front of me with a hatch farther up. Upon reaching the hatch my vision begins to blur. Crap I must have reopened a wound at some point. I need to hurry and find help. I open the door and fall straight through the door. Around me seams to be a guest room. I see no furniture just an open space. The walls are cracked cobblestone and the ceiling and floor are wood. I see a support beam n the middle of the room and two doors. One is closed and the other is opened. I pick myself up painfully and walk towards the support beam. Looking through the other door seams to be a bed room. Although where does this other door lead? Probably to the cooking room. I slowly make my way over to the closed door and open it. I see a blinding light in front of me then it dims to reveal the streets of the city. However I see the faces of others and my heart begins to race. In the sheer moment of panic I black out of blood loss and maybe fear.
I'm standing on an island that seems to be floating in the sky. I look around and see the serene white puffs of moisture. I can feel the gentle breeze in my face. In front of me is a girl about my age. Maybe seventeen with the same silver color hair, the one sky blue left eye. However her right eye is a bright fiery red almost like an Amber. Her face so soft. Her clothing is that of a light blue tunic with a belt around her waist and another around her chest from her top right shoulder to her left hip. Her chest pops out from said tunic like two small orbs. All in all she is very beautiful in my eyes. She looks almost like me. She has pointed ears like mine. She is the first to speak, "I see you finally succumbed to your wounds. But do not worry, you are still alive."
"Where am I? What is your name?" I ask the girl.
"My name is Skyla however you may refer to me by Amber. The color of my right eye. You are in the Hero's Dream."
"What is the Hero's Dream?"
"The Hero's Dream is what I call this meeting. The Heroes of Hyrule that appear throughout the ages meet in the Sacred Realm. It is that except on the opposite side of the Sacred Realm. It was created for this purpose. So I may communicate with you though dreams. However I have come with a warning. An evil I could never defeat is arising again. Follow the trials and obtain the key to his defeat. Avoid the hero. For they will bring great destruction or eternal friendship along the way. Now awaken and complete the trials." and with that I bolt awake with many unanswered left to swim within my head. Who is this hero? Where am I now? What trials? What evil? Why me? All questions I have no answers to yet I am apparently the key to. I look around at my new surrounding to find myself in some kind of bed with white curtains around me. An old man walks through the curtains and mutters. He has brown eyes and grey hair with thick bushy eye brows. A long beard that reached past his chin and a white shirt on. White pants to probably signify he is a healer.
"Your awake huh? Great now what did the damage on you?"
I stutter and my heart races. I finally realize he isn't Hylian. On impulse I feel my body scrunch up away from the man. The fear clouding my judgment. He must have noticed because he backed away until he was far enough away for my nerves to control themselves.
"A … a cave in sir" I answer silently. He looks confused, "Then why did you come from a house?"
"I don't remember" I lied.
"Alright you don't look from around here where do you live?"
"I don't live anywhere"
"Damn shame I say. Normally I'd send you to Princess Zelda or Link to let 'em know a strange boy who was found with a bashed in skull and a few fractures on the steps of an open door leading to an unused house. However its your lucky day because the princess isn't here. I hear they are out on some vacation or what not. And Link? I'd be surprised to even see her around these days. Well she is the hero after all. So whats your name, boy? I need something to tell my friends when I tell them about the boy with two eye colors."
"Skyler" I mutter silently. He nods carefully and writes it down on a piece of paper.
"So any reason you backed away from me earlier?"
"I'm afraid of people" looking down, ashamed of my fear. However he nods and walks over to a window, "Do you know where you are?"
"No, where?"
"You are in the land of Hyrule and my name is Bendio Agmond and I will be your docter for about a week until your injuries heal."
"How long have I been out?" I ask
"About three days" he states bluntly. My eyes widen. Three days of laying on a cot doing nothing! I have a world that apparently needs saving and I am the only one to do it. Although if they had a hero where is this said hero? Where did she head off to.
