Descending Darkness-A Tale of Hyrule
Zelda and The Ocarina of Time
Prologue
Link shifted in the saddle as he and Epona flew through the forest, heading back home. He lived in a quaint little hut on the edge of the forest, since he could no longer live with the Kokiri. And he was in a deperate need of rest, hence the prolonged dash home. In his hurry, and adding the fact he was dead tired, he neary fell out of the saddle dozens of times. After defeating Ganon and being sent back to relive his 7 years of missing life, he had saved Termina as well. Once a hero, always a hero.
Remembering those dark and terrifying days in another timeline haunted Links thoughts and dreams. The sight of Hyrule Town in ruins, the smell of rotting bodies that walked again, the frozen Zoras, everything. Redeads scared the living hell out of him. He shuddered at the thought of the horrible animated corpses, with their paralyzing screams. As he was lost in his thoughts, Epona came to a halt, and he shook his head, clearing bad thoughts. He slid off Epona and tethered her to a nearby tree, slowly trudging up to the little wooden hut.
Only then did he notice the dark figure perched on his roof, looking down on him with crimson eyes.
