Chapter 1:
My name is Elita. I see you've realized it's not a normal name. I am not a normal person. The girls of this era and previous eras, burn my checks with shame. Damsels in distress pfft!More like zombies with no brains and really high pitched loud annoying voices. This is my story. It is not a story about damsels in distress, except for the stupid princess... It is a story of how I helped the Hero of Time and a story of how two enemies, though they didn't want to be enemies became friends... It is a tale of friendship, love, hatred, war and of course adventure and daring.
When I was a baby I was abandoned. An orphanage took me in but, they had too many kids as it was. So when I was five, I left. I know they must not have searched for me very hard. I was a difficult child, I guess. I never wanted to stay behind and learn to cook and clean. I wanted to go to school and learn the things the boys did. After I left the orphanage I wandered out of Hyrule. After a year or so of traveling I arrived in the desert. It was a lonely place, and I had found a spring with oasis around it. I decided to settle there. It was harder then I could ever have imagined. The nights were cold and during the day you could cook an egg on the sand.
It was during the middle of one night when a man and a bunch of women found me. The man took pity on me and invited me to spend the night with them at their camp. I agreed and soon I was sitting in a warm tent in front of a fire and being served soup and meat. OH! The taste of meat! It had been many months since I had anything as delicious as that meal. The night passed by much too fast, and when morning came the man and the women packed all their stuff and mounted their horses. I watched from the tree line as they all started to leave.
I turned around about to leave when the man called me back. The man smiled and asked me if I would like to come with them. I remember smiling and nodding my head. The man grabbed my hand and pulled me up to sit in front of him on his horse. The ride to their desert home was only half a day. When we arrived I found I was the only child besides a two year old girl. It was then that the man came and told me his name. Ganondorf. From then on I was to be trained as an assassin. That's when my life truly began and when it ended.
I push open the doors to Ganondorf's private study. "Elita." He greets me, with a smile. His golden eyes glowing with welcome.
I bow and kneel. "My Lord."
"I thought I told you to call me Ganondorf when we're alone." Ganondorf draws himself up to his full height. His body is battle worn and covered in a few scars. He's a mountain of a man, and in in the small room he appears even bigger.
I rise and nod. "You have." I pronounce every word slowly and carefully. Ganondorf is widely known for his temper and even though I've never had it directed at me, it's best to be careful.
"Well then. Treat me as a friend, not as an over lord." Ganondorf leans over a book. His orange hair falling over his hypnotic eyes.
"But you are my over lord." I protest.
Ganondorf's head snaps up, a scowl is plastered all over his face. "Then follow my orders."
I frown and narrow my eyes. "If I follow anymore of your orders I'll become a meaningless slave."
Ganondorf smiles, and chuckles silently. "A meaningless slave who has a drive to kill those who stand in her way."
"It was you how wanted me to be trained."
"Indeed. I thought you'd be good at it and look and you today." Ganondorf smirks. "You're the best assassin I could ever hope to have under my command."
I bow my head, and don't reply. Flattery is what Ganondorf's good at, and it's best to let him think it works on me. But what he doesn't know, can be used against him... I hope. Ganondorf sighs and I smile, Another problem goody. "What's wrong? Plans to take over the world failing?"
"Yes. Some kid is going to all the temples and reversing my work." Ganondorf slams his hand down on the table. "A boy from Ordona province, or somewhere around there."
"Ganondorf you're almost as powerful as the Goddess's. Why don't you do something?" Captain Obvious strikes again.
"Because that's not how the plan is supposed to go."
I sigh mentally, the plan. Everything has to go to plan or else Ganondorf will throw a hissy fit. "What are you going to do about it then?" I ask him quietly knowing what's coming.
"Learn to love his shadow. I want to know everything about him, where he sleeps, what he eats, how he fights."
"Recon? Ganondorf you can't be serious!"
"I am! Elita you are the best of the best. Right now I only want the best and most loyal knowing about this. Besides if it comes down to it I know you can take care of yourself."
I grit my teeth and think it through. "Fine I'll trail him..."
Ganondorf smiles at me, flashing pointy teeth. "Link. He should be heading to Castle town next. Go there and follow him."
I bow and head for the door. "Elita." I look back at Ganondorf over my shoulder. "Good luck." He murmurs before going back to his book. I smirk and leave the room. I don't need luck.
I head up a flight of stairs to the equipment rooms. I grab a pack from the storage room and load it up with things I'll need. Sword, rope, matches, money and lots of it, cloak, food, bedroll, map. Should probably take the Zora tunic too. Just in case. I pause before leaving the storage room. I turn and head towards the exit. The morning sun blinds me as I leave the cool building. I smile as my closest and only friend Kelsey hands me the reins to my white horse, Basher.
"How long you gonna be away for?" Kelsey's high voice sounds higher than usual.
I tie my pack to the back of Basher's saddle and walk over to his left side."I don't know. As long as Ganondorf needs me to be I guess." I reply mounting the dark horse.
"Ganondorf uses you way too much. How long has it been since you've slept for more than two hours?"
I shrug and grin. "I'll see you when I get back."
Kelsey nods and heads back to the buildings. I smile and cluck my tongue. I guide Basher down the rocky path leading away from our hidden village. As Basher and I emerge onto a path leading to Hyrule field, a shiver racks through my body. I pull the reins back and Basher comes to a halt. I look dumbfounded at a man my age, as he comes riding down the path on a light brown horse. His light brown almost dirty blond hair is almost hidden under a green hat. His green tunic, white breeches, and worn leather boots are covered in dust.
"Hello." His voice is low and husky and sends more shivers down my back. He reins in his horse next to Basher. I nod and watch him through half narrowed eyes. The man tilts his head to the side watching me with hypnotic blue eyes. "Where did you come from?" I shrug as Basher shifts underneath me. "Do you have a name?"
"Eve Parlit." I blurt out my fake name.
"So it speaks." The boy smiles and my breathe gets caught in my throat.
"Uhn yea..." Nice Elita. You have a million and one responses and all you can say is uhn yea. What the fuck is wrong with you this morning?
The boy laughs. "My name's Link Monom." I freeze as Link smiles down at me. "You okay you look kind of pale."
I nod and dismount Basher. Without a sideways look at Link I murmur my good byes and start heading down the path to Hyrule field. "Wait up!" I hear Link cry.
I slow down and watch as he comes running after me. 'What?" I growl suddenly annoyed at him.
"Why did you leave like that?" Link pants as he catches up to me.
"Because I'm going to be late." I reply.
"Where are you going?"
"None of your business."
"So?"
"You're nosy. Do you always pry into others lives this much?"
"Only with people I like." Link winks and I feel my face heat up.
"I'm going to Castle Town, to visit my friend Telma."
"That's where I'm heading. Do you mind if I tag along with you for a bit?"
I can't help but grin at the man. "Okay," I reply. "But promise me one thing."
"Anything." The honesty in his voice is loud and clear.
"Don't ask me any questions about me or my past."
Author's note: Thanks for reading the first chapter :) Updates will be every few days (I hope). Ah well, I guess I'll explain a little. This takes place in the Twilight Princess world, in case you're curious. It is AU, but I'll try and stay within the lines for this... as much as a humanly can.. We're all tempted to do as much damage as we can right? ;) I don't own any of the characters except Elita... And sadly I don't own some of the ideas, just the plot line and Elita. Reviews are love!
