Zelda sat on a stool as her servant applied her makeup. She needed to look her very best today, as she supposed to deliver a speech at the festival today. It had been one year since the hero in green vanquished the Prince of Darkness, Ganondorf. Everyone was gathering in Castle Town to celebrate. People were already crowding in and in just a few more hours it would be time for Zelda to speak to her people.
Her servant finished up with her pink lipstick. "You look beautiful dear", she said. "And the speech you've prepared will dazzle all of Hyrule." Zelda smiled. "Thank you. I just hope everything goes as planned."
Zelda walked through the courtyard to the marketplace, escorted by two Hylian soldiers. Suddenly two arrows flew from behind and pierced through the soldiers' armor. Zelda turned to see a big bald man with a crossbow in one hand and a human sized burlap sack in the other. She turned back around to run away but she ran right in to another man. He had a black ponytail and a scarred eye. The man grabbed Zelda by the neck and lifted up her light body. She flailed her arms and kicked the man but in this form she was merely a frail flower. Two more men wearing masks that resembled the face of a ReDead walked toward her from both sides. One of them grabbed her wrists and forced them together as they wrapped a coarse rope around them. The other man did the same to Zelda's ankles. Zelda screamed but aside from the soldiers who laid dead just a few feet away, all the soldiers were either in the castle or the marketplace.
After her wrists and ankles were bound and she was immobile, the man with the scar dropped her on the ground. The two ReDead men grabbed her and held her still while the man with the scar forced a cloth in her mouth and tied it tightly behind her head. Finally the bald man picked her up and shoved her in the sack. Zelda tried to scream but it was muffled by her gag and could hardly be heard from inside the sack. Tears ran down Zelda's face. Today was supposed to be the day they celebrated freedom from Ganondorf but instead it was the day Zelda lost her freedom once again.
