This was written randomly and for the fun of it. :]
Also, throughout this story and my other ones, I usually refer to Link as an elf...which is a bit of a misnomer. Yes, I realize Link is Hylian and simply has pointy ears, which does not make him an elf. It's just what I mis-refer to him as. xD

Chapter 1: Fallen

Gasping for breath, the elf dropped to his knees in the cool small waters of Kakariko Village. Not very fond of this place, but the closest to his last task, the elf could only make do with what was here.
*bloop bloop bloop*
Blessed by the gods, the waters with their magical healing powers, led to the full restoration of Link's beating heart.
He sighed in an appreciated sort of way, then stood back up. Epona was standing behind him chewing on a blade of grass.
He stepped out from the waters and onto the dry sandy land. With his Hero's tunic, he too was blessed with some magical qualities. (Especially the super fast drying powers.)

The brown horse's eyes locked onto his and she gave a sort of grunt.
"What?" Link said.
She dropped the grass from her mouth and reared back her lips, bearing her teeth.
"Oh," Link muttered. "Hungry are we?"
Epona jerked her head down.
"You're right, I did promise to get ya some real food, didn't I?"
She only neighed.
"All right," the elf said. He walked over to her and gently grabbed the reins, leading her to the direction of the shops.

"Wait here," he commanded.
He entered the shop, only to find the shopkeeper facing the other direction, a bomb in hand.
"Er hello?"
The figure spun around and looked at Link. "Ahh! So nice to see such a familiar face!"
Link cocked a brow. Who was this guy? This was not the same guy who owned the shop.
The shopkeeper grinned and placed the bomb on the counter. "What's wrong?" he asked.
"Where's—"
"He had to deliver something to Castle Town, and as you know, that is quite a distance from here." He cleared his throat and continued once more. "I am Mister—" He paused and glanced at a piece of paper on the counter. "Triforce?"
"Huh?" Link said caught off guard. "Well then... I'd like to make a purchase of twenty arrows, ten bombs and three carrots please."

"Yes, yes," the young shopkeeper said quickly. He nodded and turned around, heading for the back door. "Supplies in here," he added.
"Wait," Link blurted. "What is the total?"
Mr. Triforce looked caught off guard. He turned around, a stunned expression on his face. He then ran a set of fingers through his dark hair nervously and said half-sure, "2,300 rupees sir."
"WHAT!" Link boomed.
But Triforce was already headed through the door.
Underneath a shadow, an impish figure arose in front of the elf. "Why so angry?"
"This Mister Triforce guy—he's trying to rip me off!"
"Oh, and what happened to the guy with the bozo haircut?"
"Apparently he left for Castle Town," Link mumbled.

"Hmm," Midna said. "Why do I find that hard to believe? He would never leave his shop for danger— not unless someone he actually trusted would be in charge. And this Triforce man, I've never seen him before."
"He's not even a man," Link added. "Doesn't even seem old enough to have hit puberty if you ask me!"
Midna giggled. "Are you sure it's not Malo or Talo?"
"Yeah, because they're really taller than me, right?" he said sarcastically.
"Don't give me sarcasm!"
"I'm sorry," Link said quickly. "I'm just angry and confused. And Epona's mad at me for not feeding her..."
"Maybe we should investigate then?" the Twili suggested.
Link thought for a moment. "I'm so sick and tired of that stuff." He sighed once more.
"Well deal with it!" Midna growled. With a great tug, the imp dragged Link back to the storage room.

"Why don't you just take what you need now?" she whispered.
"Don't mind if I do..."
Midna found herself wandering to the back door—the one that led outside. It was already open and this led her to delve into more curiosity.
"Wait!" Link cried, fitting a few bombs in his bomb bag.
He chased after her and found her lurking outside, awestruck at the figure before her.
Link was about to let loose a noise of surprise and fear, but Midna's hand had quickly covered it.
He blushed as she pulled him back into the shadows behind a large box.
"Zant," she whispered.
Link cocked a brow. "Who—oh yeah!"
"But the other," she added, "I have no idea who..."

Zant, his fish mask upon his head, stood flapping his floppy sleeves.
The figure before him bent down to one knee and bowed at the waist. "My Lord," Triforce said in awe.
Zant nodded in approval. The figure rose to both feet again. "What is it now?"
"Well besides that blasted elf boy, I've noticed there has been one after you."
Triforce tilted his head. "How did he find me?" His tone was angry. "Did you kill him!"
"Is it even possible when you're IMMORTAL?"
"I am sorry, my Lord," Triforce said quickly. "But he can be stopped. I just haven't discovered the true way yet."
"And you'd best find out," Zant added. "Before I figure it out and kill you both. Since after all, I presume you little twinsees may die of the same pattern, yes?"
"I'm not sure," Triforce added, "But what have you done with him?"
Zant chuckled. "I haven't even a clue myself. I had a few henchmen sort of shoot him down and dispose of him somewhere."
Triforce looked confused, yet he nodded as if he understood everything. "Well then, shall we be off?"
There wasn't another word before the two mysterious figures disappeared in a portal of darkness.

Link stood awestruck, his mouth agape. "Is his name really Triforce, because Zant couldn't bother to mention anything about the shopkeeper!"
"Chill," Midna said. She let go of him and floated in front of him.
"Let's just get back to Epona and then we can ask that Indian dude a few questions. Maybe he's heard a few rumors."

Epona neighed so loudly and happily that Link thought he was going to have loss of hearing for a day. She nearly inhaled the carrots in one bite and left Link's hand a bit slobbery.
While Midna was looking over at the gate, Link wiped his hand on her back.
"EWW! What did you just do!"
Before she could yell or he could even open his mouth, a loud cry of pain echoed through the land.
Midna's eyes peered over at the Kakariko waters. She couldn't quite make out anything but a red lump in the water.
"What?" Link asked, watching Midna point in the opposite direction.
"Let's check out the red lump," she stated. "Maybe that's what screamed?"
Grabbing the reins once more, Link darted with Epona by his side, while he followed the fast paced imp.
Once more, standing before the water's edge, the three of them stared at the blood stained water and the bloodied lump face-down in its depths.

"It's a fallen—"
"The heavens have given birth to a new angel!" Midna declared.
Link's face fell a bit. "Ulgh thanks, now I have mental images..."
"But he's bloody and fell from the sky—"
"JUST stop. Okay...?"
