The Golden Knight

Prologue

It seemed like a normal day, that is if you can call, the peasants looking for relatives amongst the piles of dead soldiers, normal. However it was a daily routine for most peasants in our city protected by the great wall of Hyrule. You see, our mighty country has been fighting the evil forces of the Rubiks for a year now, and neither them or us are even close to giving up. They attacked our beautiful city, in hopes that they could capture our princess, princess Zelda.

It was 1 year ago to the day, when our soldier, Axel, came running through the gates. He had some blood splattered on his armor, and his sword was covered in the thick green blood of the nightmare assassins, a well trained group of Rubik soldiers. He was out with a patrol squad of 5 soldiers, when arrows came from the woods, and then before he could comprehend what was happening, the assassins came running out of their cover and slaughtered 2 of the soldiers. Axel took off running, he knew he would have to get back to the city and warn the king. One of the assassins followed, Axel who was the leader of one of our elite groups of soldiers, the Phoenix warriors. Axel killed the lone soldier who followed, and continued on his way. Upon reaching the city, he told a messenger to alert the king and have him set his defenses up, the evil army of the Rubiks were close to the city. As soon as the messenger passed on his message to the king, he ordered that the golden knight, the general of Hyrule prepare his forces for battle. The king also requested that Zelda be taken immediately to safety of the Zora's caves. The knight ordered that 15 phoenix soldiers accompany the Princess to the caves, and to protect her at all cost. It was the last they had heard from the princess, the Nightmare assassins had Flanked the Convoy, and he killed everyone, not even the princess was spared.

He also ordered that all soldiers would report in and prepare for a battle. He sent messengers to the Gorons and Zoras requesting for military support. Both had agreed to send some of their forces, however it would take time to ready the soldiers. The general knew he did not have any time to wait, the Rubiks were evil creatures, and they did not know how to reason, they were savages, burning and killing as they moved across the land. He rounded up as many troops as he could get, and marched an army close to 5 000 soldiers out the gates in the great wall of Hyrule. And so the battle began, the Rubiks kept on coming, in large waves, the Hylians were outnumbered two to one, but the continued to fight, knowing that if they gave in, their beautiful city would fall in to the evil claws of the Rubiks, and all that they believed was right would be lost forever. That is what drove the soldiers to keep fighting.

To this day, the soldiers still fear the same thing, they had heard stories of the evil doings of the Rubiks, and did no wish that on their enemies. However to day, was different from the rest, the Hylian Army was starting to grow weary, and their numbers were steadily decreasing. The Zoras had already pulled out two weeks ago, and the Gorons were close to retreating. Despite forcing the Rubiks back the day before, the Hylian army was again preparing for another wave of troops to come through to woods and attempt to break the Hylians once and for all. The golden knight watched as the sun started to peak over the tips of the mountains, the sky was starting to light up, and soon the dark cover of the Rubiks would be exposed and they would be forced to engage in yet another tedious battle. Just than an arrow came from the woods, signaling the beginning of anther battle, The golden knight led his troops valiantly to the edge of the woods, where the Rubiks came charging out, in numbers the Hylians had never encountered before. Then, just as the sun was at its highest point in the sky, the battle stopped, and all eyes turned to the middle of the fight, the Hylian forces watch in horror, as the Golden Knight fell to his knees. It felt like everything, was moving in slow motion as the Golden knight fell face first to the ground. The Rubiks Cries of victory could be heard from miles around. The Hylian soldiers, knew this could be the end of their city. Anyone who had not been captured, retreated. Axel, reached the gates first, he knew they would have to get more troops ready and inform the king that they had lost their General, and had lost the precious Golden armor. The King was worried, the Rubiks had control of the Golden Armor, and they had defeated the Hylian Army. He Knew that the only one who could save them now was the chosen one, and that is where Link comes in.
