SoftWare: Well, I get ideas all over the place.
Aryll: YES!
SoftWare: Huh?
Aryll: I finally get something!
SoftWare: Actually, I read a story once where you did get to be a hero. I haven't read it in a while, so I
don't know if it was updated or not.
Aryll: ...Oh.
The Legend of Zelda
The Hero of Flames
Chapter One
Bad News
(Outset Island, 8:30 in the morning)
Aryll walked on the beach, looking out into the sun. She hadn't seen or heard from her older brother, Link, in over two
years. It made sense, you couldn't get mail while on a ship in the ocean, but Aryll was still worried. Her brother was the
fabled Hero of Winds, but she still worried. Her grandmother was in the house, cooking their dinner. Aryll still felt empty
inside. Her brother had left on a journey to find a new land to claim for a new country, a new Hyrule. He had sailed with
a friend of his named Tetra, as well as her crew, who Aryll thought were both weird and funny. As she thought this, she
noticed a shape on the beach. She ran over to see what it was. Flipping the figure over, she saw that it was Niko, one of
Tetra's crew. She called for her grandmother, and dragged him inside the house. When he woke up, he downed three
bowls of soup, before he could speak. "Aryll, my lady, I have bad news. A few days ago, we were attacked at sea. There
was no warning. All we heard was cannon fire, before we fired back. We fought hard, and barely got away, but it wasn't
good enough. Link and Miss Tetra were captured during the battle. I was sent to tell you the bad news." Aryll wanted to
run outside and scream at the world for being unfair, but she restrained herself. She looked at the sword her brother
had left behind. He'd asked them to watch over it, and now, Aryll made her choice. Her brother had rescued her once.
Now, she would return the favor. Her grandmother saw the fire in the child's eyes. "Oh, Aryll, I see the look in your
eyes." Aryll faced her grandmother. "I understand wanting to repay your brother for what he did, but you don't know
how to handle a sword." Aryll's fire did not go out. "Then I'll learn. I don't care how long it takes. I'm going to find him,
and Tetra." Her grandmother sighed. "I hope you know what you are about to get into."

Tetra: Please tell me I don't have to be a statue again.
SoftWare: What is it with you and spoiling that game?
Tetra: Oh. Sorry.
