Chapter 1 (birth)

Within every light there is a shadow, within every darkness there is a speck of light...

Part one: of silent light...

Link was born just as any other Hylian would be. Shoved from his mothers womb, covered in her blood and the slime from his birth. He did not make a sound as he entered the world; causing the doctors of Castle Town to worry that he was born ill, or worse. His mother cried as she held her boy to her bosom. Still covered in the sick mixture from his birth and as quiet as the grave. She kissed his bloodstained blonde hair and cupped his head in her hand as she cooed softly to him and whispered his name, telling him that she loved him more than anything else and of how she wished his father could have been there to see his coming into the world. His father was one of the Knights that where duty bound to guard the queen as she went through a similar ordeal high above them in the front most tower of Hyrule castle. She told her son that he to would be a knight one day, and that she could feel it deep down in her soul that he would live to be the greatest hero of all.

Rupees were paid later that night, and mother and child where smuggled out of castle town towards the lands to the east. She knew that her husband would never give the boy a chance and would expect another as soon as possible; she however felt it in her bones that this simply could not be. So she ran across Hyrule field in the dead of night, past the hulking figure of Death Mountain, and to a small opening in between trees and walls of earth that she had heard her own mother whisper about late into the night when she could not sleep. It was a place of refuge for small children who where pure of heart, a place where someone such as her newborn son could be safe and lead a happy life among the little people who roamed the forests.

She met with no resistance from the strange plants lining her path in the darkness, plants known to snap an adult in half if approached too closely. Perhaps even they knew of the future that she felt for her babe and stayed their ground rather than risk his life. She could only hope her journey to the tree she had learned of in her youth would remain unhindered.

Halfway across the wide expanse of the hidden village she was met with pains in her abdomen that caused her to groan and clutch her sleeping son tightly to her chest. The feeling of warm blood trickling down her legs caused her knees to shake as she took another weary step towards the opening in the small mountain on the far side of the valley. Her heart pounded loudly in her ears as her vision wavered. The green hues of her surroundings blending together even as one small green shape slowly approached. The last thing the woman heated before her life faded away was the soft cooing of her son as the small green creature lifted him from her arms.

Part 2: The one that was abandoned...

During the same time of the Hero's birth, another soul was entering the land of the living in a rather unusual way. Deep in the land of twilight a small shadow was cast across the obelisk of awakening. The shadow solicited and began to pull away from the dark grey towering crystal that formed all the beings of the land. The small baby that tumbled the few feet to the soft pile of black silken pillows bellow filled the room with loud wailing cries as it tilted it's grey covered head back and flailed its arms. Bright red eyes where squeezed tightly shut as shadowy fists shook wildly in the air, causing the attendants of the obelisk quite a bit of trouble as they attempted to lift the baby from the small nest that it had landed upon.

There was soft whispers amongst the three attendants as they struggled to think of where the babe belonged. They had revived their prince only moments before and had not been expecting another delivery that night. The whispers echoed down the long hallways of the castle as more and more of the Twili gathered to decide what should be done with the unwanted child. By the time the king, who was busily preparing his new son for the life of royalty, heard of the commotion the obelisk room was full of Twili that stood shoulder to shoulder before the screaming infant. He shoved his way past his subjects to glare down at the one who would take the attention away from his new son.

"Throw it to the beasts." He stated as he lifted his chin and glared down at the defenseless child. There was a hushed murmur around the room as the confused Twili whispered his orders amongst themselves before one moved forward to lift the child carefully in their arms. The crowd moved to either side of the room to allow the king and the Twili holding the babe to pass them by. It followed him through the castle and down the large front steps until they arrived at the desolate wasteland that covered most of the Realm of Twilight. The king motioned to an outcropping of rock that lead down to the forbidden home of the beasts that roamed about the lands near the castle.

"Leave it there Zant." He ordered in a flat voice as he glared down at the still wailing child. The Twili beside him bowed before moving to follow his order. As the child was placed upon the rocks it quieted for a moment and looked up to Zant with its large red eyes filled to the brim with tears. He huffed and stood quickly, following the king back into the castle without even a second glance at the child.

What they did not see was the young queen Midna slipping from the shadows and bringing the child to her bosom. She whispered softly to it and it's crying ceased completely as its eyes slowly closed. Her arms held it gently to her chest as she slipped away from the horrid rocks, towards the Twili village far to the east, looking for one willing to raise the child as their own without the secret reaching her husbands ears.
