From the Flames: Chapter One, Before the Beginning

O.o

Way back when the war started. A Hylian male and a Gerudo female fell in love. Their love was for bidden between the races. They both had to run away from their own kind. During a stay in Kakariko village hiding with the Shiekah, a young boy was born.

But the war kept getting worse and soon it was not safe for them in Kakariko. The Hylians were moving on Kakariko to take over the village to use it as a second base. When they came it was not a fight. It was a massacre.

The troops slowly moved closer and closer they were also following the trail of a "traitor" a soldier who had fled from his duty for a Gerudo. Or as the Hylians called them. Desert Spawn. As the soldiers walked up the stairs, the town watch rang a warning bell. The couple heard the bell and began to flee to Death Mountain. They were allies with all the races. So they decided to go find Big Brother of the Gorons.

As the couple fled the soldiers discovered where they were fleeing. The began to burn the entire village. The husband knew they were after him. To protect his wife and the innocent people of the village, he decided to stay and face what he was running from. His wife protested strongly. He called on the Gorons to aid him. The Gorons came out of the ground to aid the man. But he ordered them to help his wife escape.

She screamed and wailed. She nearly killed five of the Gorons trying to keep her from her husband. But the Gorons held strong. She saw her husband rush into battle his double-edged sword cutting left and right. His holy weapon cleaved armor. He killed countless numbers. Then they took out bows and arrows, seeing the man was in a blood lust.

The archers took aim. A hail of arrows nearly killed him. But he kept fighting. His body pierced by countless arrows. But his love for his wife was too strong. He kept fighting his wounds to grave to live for much longer. His wife told him to drop back but with one final battle cry of unrestrained love he hurled himself at the remaining archers. Slaughtering the remaining archers.

The commanding officer standing far back watched his whole display. He cursed to man's name. The man and officer used to be best friends when the man was not in love. The officer gave to man one last remark before shooting him. "You let your love blind you! You destroyed our friendship for a woman! You are a Traitor! Die now and burn for all eternity in the unholy realm!"

The woman saw the arrow pass through her husband's heart. She saw the life in his eyes die. She broke free of the Gorons and ran to her husband. She cradled his head in her lap. Her eyes released a constant stream of salty crystals. Falling on her husbands face. "I love you so much. I will wait for you in the sacred realm. Please take care of our son. As my final wish please." It was then his heart stopped beating.

She cried then she cried, and cried, and cried. She wept for what felt like an eternity. The officer walked up to her. An arrow nocked on his bow. "What a pity you can't carry out his final demands. Its time for you to join him." He released his arrow and it pierced her heart. "At least I let you die with your true love. Think about that." He closed her eyes.

He heard a baby wailing near the flaming ruins of a house. The Gorons knowing only of their own kind let the child be. The officer walked over to the child. "Your father was a traitor. I wonder if his son will prove to be any better. He picked up the child and walked back to his horse. A glint caught his eye in the rain. His best friend's sword. "Well, well. I guess I'll give it to him when he comes of age."

He picked up the sword and returned to his horse. "My wife always wanted a son." He galloped back towards castle town with the young child in his arms. "I'll train you as my apprentice and you shall be the greatest knight this kingdom has ever known. The man ran off into the rain. Leaving the ruined village with many dead bodies. One man, one woman locked in eternal embrace. Many soldiers dead around them.

The three goddesses walked forward to the young couple. The three lifted their arms. The souls of all that had died there were raised out of their bodies. The couple looked around them. The looked to the Gorons they looked solemn. Their heads bowed. The all told with their eyes. 'He was taken by your friend. He will be raised as a knight.' They both nodded then followed the goddesses into the sacred realm.

O.o

He woke screaming in a sweat, again. That dream again. He was panting. His mother walked into his room. "Sweatie, what's wrong?"

"Mommy, I had a bad dream. The one with daddy, his fighty men, and the lady and man."

The woman sighed. "Link, your going to have to discover what this dream means by yourself. Otherwise it will continue to haunt you. You have to be a big boy and put it behind you. Now go back to sleep little one."

"Okay mommy."
