Twilight Princess: Realm of Immortals

Chapter One: An Apparent Dream

"Come on, it's not so bad!" Diana tried to soothe her four-legged friend into the water of the bath. "It's not hot, it's not cold. It's perfect for somebody as pretty as you!"

The only reply from the dog was a low growl, which made Diana very nervous. Diana's bright green eyes flickered with what seemed like a plan before she smiled somewhat sweetly. Slowly, she got up and traveled over to one of the nearby drawers, in which many treats were held. She grabbed one beef-flavored tasty and waved it in front of the golden retriever.

"Now, are you going to go into the bath, or not?" Diana asked. At first, the dog only cocked its head before it all-out tackled the girl. "No! You can't have it now!" Diana protested, and pushed the dog off after a small time of wrestling. Then, she ran and waved the treat over the pool of bath water and the dog dove in. Diana dropped the treat into the soapy water, and dog dug its head into the clean mix of water and soap. The smell of wet dog reached its way up to Diana's nose, and she had to fight to keep her stomach from going topsy-turvy on her. Then, she grabbed the dog by the collar and began to scrub.

This was Diana's life. At about sixteen years old she worked at a veterinary clinic in her hometown of New Castle, Delaware. Right now she was in a white coat with white gloves, and the logo of the clinic was imprinted on the back of the coat. Her black waist-length hair was pulled back in a high ponytail, and her green eyes were covered in goggles to protect them from the soap that would be splashed up from the animals. More to her hair, her hair was slightly curled, and her bangs were all chin-length and to the side, and were died pink to add just a bit of humor to her life. Her skin was tanned from being out in the sun a lot, and she was ultimately very skinny, which sometimes gave her the appearance of being sickly, or anorexic, which she wasn't. She just had a high metabolism, but that didn't stop other people from worrying about her in many situations.

Diana was one who was very good with animals, but wasn't as good with people. This was because she would get very shy and would stammer around other humans, for they seemed to judge her every second of the day. Animals were wonderful, and playful, and Diana didn't mind at all that her best friends could be found in the cages of the clinic.

Her friends did not like to cooperate with her sometimes, which also put a bit of excitement into her life. The golden lab that was in the tub jumped out, and had all four paws on the Diana's thin frame. The soapy water dripped onto Diana, who squealed in alarm and shoved the dog off. Diana sat up and wiped off her goggles with the sleeve of her arm, when the dog began to shake all of the water and soap off.

"Bad girl!" Diana shouted, although the seriousness of her tone was taken away by the giggles that followed. The dog came up and licked Diana's face.

Then, the door opened and one of her coworkers came into the room with a raised eyebrow.

"I think you're done for the day. Why don't you dry that dog off and head home? You probably have a lot of homework." Then the coworker went back to wherever he came from and Diana patted the dog on the head.

"He's right, I do have homework. Let's get you cleaned up." Diana sighed. The dog looked at her, wagged his tail, and then barked in agreement.

Later, Diana grabbed her bag from her desk in her room. More studying would require a trip to the library for her, which didn't sound pleasant at all. However, she had to study to keep her grades up in order to stay in the school. If she couldn't even stay in the school the orphanage would kick her out in no time, and send her to someplace that wasn't quite as nice, and the school system would probably be somewhere in the ghetto of Brooklyn.

That wasn't a nice thought at all.

Diana got to the library within minutes from the orphanage. When she entered, a lot of students were already in there, cramming for tests or doing research for some of their more difficult classes. So, Diana just headed towards an aisle with many books inside of it. At first, they all seemed to be about history, which was what she had the most trouble with at school. Currently they were studying World History in Europe, during the Medieval Ages. Although swords and armor were appealing to a lot of people, the only thing Diana got out of it was daydreams.

Diana's hand ran over the covers of the books, until her eye caught one. It had an old, tattered cover and the text on it was in a completely different language. With a raised eyebrow, Diana pulled it off the shelf and looked at the cover. It seemed as if the book was about to fall apart. The language on the front seemed to match the language on the spine, and Diana frowned. It didn't seem like any language she had seen, although the only language she knew was her own, and a little bit of Spanish.

"Well…I'm bored enough…" Diana sighed, and opened the book. At first, nothing interesting happened, but then she felt kind of warm and fuzzy inside, and then outside. At first, Diana didn't know why, until she looked up.

The bookshelf was gone, and the library that it was in was gone as well. It seemed as if her whole town had disappeared, and she was in the middle of a forest that was way too overgrown with plants. When she looked down again, the book had disappeared, and she was left all alone in the woods, with nothing but her clothes and the bag full of notebooks.

"Well…I'm dreaming." Diana said with wonder. "So…what did I do to fall asleep? Did that dog knock me out, and I imagined my coworker coming in? Or did I never wake up in the first place?" For a minute, Diana pondered this, and then she shrugged it off. "Oh well, what's the point of a dream if you can't have fun with it?"

So, Diana just began to head forward from where she stood. A path seemed to make itself apparent after about a mile, and she traveled on that instead, until she led herself to a bridge. With a blink, Diana observed the bridge. It was wooden, and seemed to actually be in good condition. This was very unlike most wooden bridges she had ever seen or heard of, which usually looked about to collapse on the unsuspecting walker.

Across the bridge appeared to be a wall of dark light with weird yellow markings. For a moment, it looked scary, but Diana shook it off. After all, this was a dream, right? So, Diana headed forward, convinced that the bridge was safe. She was certain that the point of this dream was to get across, and find out what the wall of dark light with weird markings was about.

At the edge of the bridge, Diana hesitated. For some reason, dreams had never seemed to take this much time. Usually she would just appear where she absolutely needed to be. Also, she could smell the scent of morning dew in her nostrils, and feel the leaves that brushed on her arms, stomach, and cheeks as she went by.

Something was wrong, but for some reason her curiosity completely dispelled any fear that usually should have come in such a situation. So, cautiously, Diana took a step forward onto the grass that was before the wall. Nothing happened. Another step from Diana and still nothing happened, and before she knew it she was a hair's length away from the wall. For a second, she debated on what to do, until she thought she saw something flicker from behind the wall. So, without a second thought, Diana put herself through the portal, and ended up on the other side.

For a second it felt as if her soul was being ripped to pieces, but once she reached the other side she simply blinked. Something was off, but Diana couldn't quite put her finger on it, but thought it had to do something with the lighting of the area. Really, it was quite pretty, as if everything was bathed in the light only seen around the twilight hour. Truth be told, twilight really was the prettiest time of day, when everything seemed more surreal than real, and everybody could live in a fantasy of their own, until night overtook the sky and the imagination made more horrifying hallucinations out of fear of the dark.

Then, Diana decided that it wasn't the twilight that made the world seem different, but something else…something a bit more alarming. She felt her skin prick with goose bumps and above that, fur. When she whirled her head around to see what extension of her was moving around, she saw a pitch-black tail, one that would normally be found on a household cat.

A cat…

Was Diana…a cat?

With a screech of alarm, Diana began to whirl around in circles until she dizzied herself to the point she tripped over her own four paws. Part of her now wanted to curl up into a ball and cry. This couldn't be happening to her! Part of her still believed it was a dream, but the feel of grass blades against her body, and the twig that her stomach was lying on was starting to become painful. The practical side of her told her that she wasn't dreaming, and that whatever had happened to her was horrible beyond all reason.

After a while, Diana forced herself up, and shook herself off. She was no use the way she was acting, which was a lifeless ball of fur. So, Diana took one tentative step in the direction she had been heading in the first place, and then another. Finally, she was at a comfortable walking pace, which might have seem fast for a human, but was normal for a cat from what she had seen.

She noticed things that paced around that didn't look like any animal she had seen before, and was glad that she was small enough to hide in nearby clumps of tall grass, although she wasn't sure if her pitch-black self would hide very well among the yellow clumps.

Finally, she made it to a cave. It seemed dark and gloomy, which would be perfect for her black pelt…if she weren't terrified of the dark. So, she sat down, and debated what to do.

If she stayed where she was, then she was bound to get bored, and hungry. If she continued forward, she would be a nervous wreck, and probably killed. Everybody bit of sense in her body told her to stay put, but something else in her urged her forward.

So, she stepped into the gloom. At first, it seemed okay, and she was able to suppress her violent shaking to a slight tremble, but then something squeaked up ahead. That was when she yowled and just bolted forward, as fast as she could through the tunnel. It didn't help that she couldn't see, and one of the first things she did was crack her skull against a rock wall.

Without realizing her pain, she continued forward, hit another wall, continued, hit another wall, and the process continued until she reached the end of the tunnel, and then she shuddered at what was ahead of her.

It appeared to be a normal clearing of trees, but in it at some point was a purple, gaseous substance. The alarm bells in her head went off, and she walked to the edge. Everything in her told her to stay, so this time she did just that. After a moment, she felt a wail rise up in her body, and that's exactly what she did.

Maybe it was just Diana, but it seemed like she hadn't been crying for too long when something cold and wet brushed up against her fur. With a sniffle, she looked towards whatever it was, and yowled in surprise.

Right next to her, in all its beastly glory, was a wolf.

A really, big, warped wolf.

End of Chappie

Yes, this first chapter is short, but it's to build up the story! I'm a dork. In any case, this story follows after Ocarina of Time: Three Goddesses Reincarnated but I don't believe you have to read that one to read this one. If I do mention that story, it will be in brief, or it will basically encompass how it deals with Diana's life. Either way, I hope you like this! I'll update again when I feel like it.
