MC: Hey everyone! This is a new project that myself and Shadow will be working on together! I'm very excited to be working on this and I hope I can provide something you guys will really be able to enjoy (since I know Shadow definitely will).

I'm especially excited because of who I'm working with. Shadow's a pretty amazing person and I feel like we're really similar in a lot of ways. Though we do have our own styles, so this should end up being interesting to write and (hopefully) to read as well.

You'll hear more from Shadow at the end so be sure to hear what she has to say!

DISCLAIMER: Neither of us own the Legend of Zelda series. The series is owned by Nintendo.

As per tradition of mine...

Here's the prologue of Breathing Life into Myth. I hope you really love it.

(? P.O.V.)

I let out a low breath, hot air washing over me as I look around. Fire dances along my vision, homes and people burning away in the flames. They fought hard and I respect them for it, though their foolishness in refusing to kneel before me was... Disappointing. "No matter, they made their choice." I wave an arm in front of me, a portal appearing before me into which I enter, a small smile growing on my lips upon spotting my throne.

The chair before me, a solid black stone with thin crimson lines swirling up the back, brings a small amount of comfort to me as I place myself down in the seat, a low groan escaping my lips. They say that sometimes the small things are what matter most. In this case I cannot disagree with such wise folk. Several crashes echo through my simple room and I grit my teeth, slamming my foot into the floor while sending a large pulse of energy through the corridor in front of me.

Several screeches soon follow as two red Bokoblins fall into the room, exploding before disintegrating completely, no trace of their presence left behind. So many pawns on the board. Good in groups but not the best for tactics. I could do with some rooks. I pick myself up from the seat and turn to the right, heading through a doorway into a small bedroom. I walk over to a mirror by the wall, placing my hand upon it and pouring magic into it.

The glass ripples as I remove my hand, an image of a bright green world appearing in the mirror. I watch as many people laugh, dancing and singing in the center of their village, children in the center with the older ones around them. They look into the sky, opening their arms as they sing their praises to their Goddess. Singing? Praising? Is this how Hylia runs things? I place my palm on the image, magic flowing once more as it fades back into a mirror. She lets them run free? That's... That's completely absurd.

I walk over to a desk, a single piece of paper bearing three golden triangles laying on top of it. I lift the paper up, examining the figure closely. Relics left by the Old Ones, the Triforce... With its power I could take these people that Hylia lets run free and bring them to kneel before me, before the Demon Tribe. I would shape the world in my own image, for that would be the perfect world. I place the paper back down before I begin slowly pacing back and forth.

I need to obtain the Triforce, though it is guarded by Hylia. Damn her... This would be simple were she not in the picture. My eyes widen at the realization as a large smirk adorns my face for a moment before my expression falls flat once more. I need to remove Hylia from the picture but how could I do that? I exit the room, heading back to my throne and easing myself into it, drumming the armrest with my fingers. Killing her won't be simple and I'm not prepared to do so right now. I will need more time to come up with something. I can wait, though. I have all the time I'll ever need.

(? P.O.V.)

I shiver in delight, the wind on my wings sending chills up my spine. I look down at the world below me, an endless canvas of radiant greens. This world is such an amazing place. I twirl through the air as I fly, laughing as joy fills my being, every part of my body crying in happiness. Tears run down my face as a grin overtakes my features. I descend, flying just above the grassy plains that seem to stretch endlessly towards the horizon.

I wish everyone could experience pleasure like this. I reach a hand down, grazing the grass as I continue my flight, the plants tickling my skin as I start laughing, happiness filling my soul. Truly, everyone deserves this sense of completion. I ascend once more, picking up speed as my wings move faster. I level out, waving at the birds in the skies. I look forward, spotting a red figure in the distance. I pick up speed before slowing down beside the large crimson bird, matching his speed. "Hello again, my friend."

'It's good to see you again, Hylia. What brings you here?' his voice echoes in my mind as he turns to look at me. I shrug and smile at him, patting his head gently.

"Do I need a reason to see you or to soar through the skies?" I ask, looping around him as I continue laughing, feeling completely content.

'I suppose not, though you are acting rather... Childish.'

"And what's that supposed to mean?" I frown at him as I stop my dance, flying alongside the Loftwing once more.

'You're supposed to be graceful, elegant, mature! You are a Goddess, a symbol to the people! What would they think if they saw you act like this?'

"I think they'd want to join me."

'It's about appearances!'

"So why can't I appear as myself now and demanding of respect when I need to?"

'I guess that's alright.'

"Good!" We continue flying for a few more minutes before a shock hits me, my wings freezing as I begin plummeting towards the ground, eyes wide and body quaking. I feel something grab onto me as I hear my friend scream in my mind. "Huh?!"

'What happened?! Are you alright?' I shake my head, working my way out of his talons as I bring myself back level with him in our flight path.

"I'm sorry but the strangest feeling just overcame me. Something dark, enough to surprise me since I wasn't prepared for it."

'Dark? Do you know what could have caused it?'

"I'm not sure but I'm afraid of what this might mean. I just hope the Demon Tribe has nothing to do with it." He doesn't respond after this and I frown, biting my lip as worry begins to take over the happiness once filling me. True darkness has been gone for so long. Why did such a good thing have to come to an end?

*Hey, everyone! Time for my very first collab! I'm very happy that I'm working with my good friend, MCFanfics, a criminally underrated author on this website. Like Adventure Time and Zelda? Check him out! Say hi! :D Don't forget to review. ^^ The next chapter's coming soon. Get excited! :3
