Rain of Fire Book One: The End is Coming
By Shadow Gamer
Chapter 1: A Meeting of Old Friends
Long ago Hyrule was but a wasteland. To improve the land three golden goddesses descended upon the land, there names are known well as Din, Faroe, and Naryu. They shaped Hyrule into a better place. However, all would end eventually and the three would try to take back what they had made as a test of the strength of the people against all odds. It would begin the day the sun and moon turned red and met in the sky, fire would begin to rain causing havoc everywhere. And only Hyrule's greatest Hero, a sage, a strongman, and a crafty farmer would be able to save the land from destruction.
-Excerpt from the prophecies of the Sheikah
It was one of the cloudiest days anyone could remember in Hyrule. Even Princess Zelda had never seen anything like this; the whole sky seemed black except for a few small rays of sunlight shining through. Link was now 18 and was riding through Hyrule field happily, his fairy Navi at his side. Navi had disappeared for 7 years, only to show up on Link's table the previous Summer. They were going to have tea with Princess Zelda and discuss what had happened 8 years ago on that day, the day that Link had pulled the Master Sword from it's pedestal and leapt 7 years ahead to fight Ganondorf.
That is they were going to, however it started to rain and a bolt of lightning struck a nearby tree. This scared Epona so much she through Link to the mud and ran off.
"Epona, come back here now!" Link yelled, "Well, I guess the rest of the journey will be made on fut. Too bad, it's just beginning to rain and it's muddy out."
Then Link looked up and saw some of the rays of sun poking through.
"What the heck?" He gasped.
"This doesn't look good Link!" Navi cried.
The Sun wasn't it's usual color, now in fact it was something strange.
"Th... The Sun's blood red!" Link gasped in shock.
Then Link fainted. He suddenly appeared in the Chamber of Sages again, 3 other people where behind him but he couldn't tell who. He was holding the Master Sword again and he was facing off with Ganondorf. The charged at each other and clashed swords creating sparks from the steal. Then an eerie melody began to play behind him.
Meanwhile, Zelda stood at the balcony of her castle waiting. He was hours late and the moon was beginning to show. The clouds were cleared up around the sun and moon but nothing else. Zelda looked into the sky and that's when she noticed it.
Both the sun and moon were blood red, and in a matter of seconds they would meet.
"It's time." Said Zelda "I didn't think the destiny of Hyrule would be revealed so soon. Link, please get here soon."
Zelda turned around. A saddened look was on her face. As she walked back into the castle a tear fell down her eye, and at that exact moment the fire began to fall.
Link woke up about an hour later; getting up from the strange dream that wouldn't end itself. He looked to his right and Navi was missing, on his left stood his trusted steed Epona.
"Where's Navi? Oh well, no time for that. I've got to get to the castle." Link yelled, looking into the sky and seeing it was night.
As he got closer he noticed that flame covered the area around the major towns of Hyrule. As he walked into the Hyrule Castle town he was shocked to see most of the town in cinders. Quickly he ran towards the castle, hoping that he was not too late to fix whatever had happened. He rushed inside and found Zelda waiting, holding a whine glass by her fireplace.
"Link, the end has begun." She said in a saddened voice as he walked in "Our true destiny awaits us..."
