"Shut up. Just, shut up."

He was quite annoyed by the fact that his sister, despite being two years younger than him and a girl, had just beaten him in an arm wrestle. She was now mocking him, and soon their little wood cabin that they lived in with their Grandmother Cassoria would be alive with an upbeat argument between the two siblings.

"Hey, Link, wanna go again? I'll go easy on you this time!"

"Didn't I just tell you to shut up? Anyway, I let you win."

"You sooo didn't!"

"I can't be bothered with this Aryll. I gotta go meet Jeorth. He's got a wicked new album that he said I can borrow."

"Yeah, whatever. I bet he doesn't. You're just embarrassed that I beat you."

"No! I let you win! And he does have the album, he got it yesterday."

"He just got a new a new album and he's letting you borrow it already? What album is it anyway?"

"Infinity On High. Fall Out Boy."

"Huh, crap."

"Well, screw you then."

And with that he snatched his green trenchcoat off of the intricately carved coat stand his father Zacharias had carved before he went on a quest to find the Master Sword. It had only been a month but Link and his Grandmother were already getting worried about how long he'd been travelling the globe for. He was searching for the Master Sword to wipe all remaining minions of the evil Ganondorf from the face of Gaia after a drunken Moblin had murdered his wife late one night. Link had tried to stop him, but he could be a "stubborn bastard" to quote his business partner and left the family promising to "be back soon". Link was thinking about Zacharias' departure as he walked down the steps from his house, and he started to get angry at his father. He had left to find some legendary sword that no-one was even sure existed, and even if he did find it, he wouldn't be able to use it without getting arrested due to the law introduced in 1976 that states "Any person whose ancestor was a follower of Ganondorf shall be able to live in peace within the community. Such people will have the same rights as any other of the races living in community.". Link wasn't worried about his Father getting arrested though. He knew that although Zach had a very short fuse, he would eventually calm down after a while and he would soon be back, looking very sheepish as he usually did after over reacting, probably having grown a beard, and would beg Cassoria for forgiveness, and she would accept him with a "tut tut" and a "you are a fool, aren't you?". Link tried to push this out of his mind. It was windy and his long blonde fringe was blowing in his eyes. He brushed it away with his hand and accidentally thought about how much he missed his mother. It was a foolish thing to do because it always made him cry and he hated to cry in public. Luckily, it was dark so there was barely anyone out and they wouldn't be able to see him with tears in his eyes anyway, unless they came up to him and looked directly into his face. His hair blew into his eyes and he cursed himself for forgetting his trademark green beanie style hat. It was then that he saw a short, wide figure ahead of him, waving and calling. It was Jeorth, a Goron. His short round figure and rough back gave the impression that he was a rock with legs, which, essentially, he was. He was dressed in jeans, a think hooded jumper and a pair of Vans skate shoes.

"Yo Link. You alright?"

"Pissed off with Dad."

"Ah. Heard from him then?"

"No, just thinking about him. So, who else we meeting tonight?"

"Well, Zarck is coming, and Treequin may show up, he's grounded but he's gonna try to get out."

"Cool."

There was an awkward silence for about two minutes, and then Link said:

"Do I look like my Dad? I mean, at all?"

"A bit, you kinda have his chin and nose, but you look more like your… er…"

"My Mum?"

"Err… Yeah… Sorry man, didn't mean to bring it up…"

"Nah, don't be. You didn't bring it up anyway, I did. Oh, is it okay if I borrow the new Fall Out Boy album off you to burn to my PC? I told my sis that's why I was coming out."

"Yeah, sure. But I'll need it back tomorrow."

"Yeah, no prob. Hey look, I think it's Tree and Zarck. Who's that with them?"

"Dunno, looks like a Kokiri…"

"Why would they have a kid like that with them? Damn forest kids are nothing but a nuisance!"

The three figures emerged from the fog, and they walked towards Link and Jeorth. The tallest one was Zarck, a Zora from the sea, his slim blue-white body still dripping with water, his gills flapping in the breeze. His pointy left ear was pierced at the top, and another piercing was where his eyebrow would be, if his race had them. He also had a tattoo on his razor sharp right arm-fin, a skeletal fish. He was wearing surf shorts with a red and orange pattern on them, and Converse All Star Hi-Tops on his feet. To his left stood a short plant-like creature, Treequin, a Deku. His orange glowing half-circle eyes were covered by blue tinted sunglasses, and his blonde Mohawk had a green tip. His short wooden body, which was not much longer than his head, was clad in a thin red long-sleeved t-shirt with "Make tea not war" written on it and a pair of dark blue denim cargo shorts. On his feet were a pair of army boots he had stolen off his father and decorated with such slogans as "The government is lying to you" and "The System Shit". He was about half the height of Zarck, which makes him around three and a half feet tall, the shortest of the group, Link being six foot two inches and Jeorth being about five one. They were joined by a young girl, a Kokiri. This race looks slightly Hylian, and each Kokiri stops developing after their tenth birthday. This particular Kokiri had long green hair tied back in a ponytail and was wearing a old-fashioned green tunic, trousers and boots.

"Alright guys." Said Link, grinning. "Good Nayru, how aren't you cold? It's bloody freezing out here!"

"Dude, I'm made of wood… I can't 'feel' anything except pain." Replied Treequin "And he lives in the sea, remember?" He motioned to Zarck.

"Yeah." Laughed Zarck "Compared to home this is boiling!"

Jeorth laughed "I suppose. Who's the kid?"

"What kid?" Queried Treequin, confused. Jeorth pointed at the Kokiri girl and Treequin and Zarck both whirled around.

"Woah, who're you?" Exclaimed Zarck

The girl looked at each friend in turn and said.

"Come, I must show you all something."
