Chapter one
Several hours earlier
The calm winds blew over the fields that were surrounding the peaceful mansion. With its brick walls and newly painted front porch it stood... undisturbed, as a young boy was taking a walk. His black eyes glanced up at the peaceful looking mansion. His tanned face had a grin that seemed to make the world shine. He walked toward the mansion, knowing that his idol, Roy would be there waiting to teach him some more about swords. He was Cyrus, an abnormal teen that had a horrible past and just got through them. He was abandoned, he stole many things from people but never seemed bothered that he was always watched. His hand reached for the door and looked down to see that there was white paint on his black sneakers. He giggled slightly.
"Stupid, Pikachu. Always trying to find a way to get me mad. Nothing can bring my spirits down!"
Cyrus continued to open the door... there laid a body, of a too familiar face. It was Young Link. His ocean blue eyes looking up at the ceiling and his blonde hair covering his pale face that was motionless. Cyrus knelt on one knee and shook him.
"Hey Young Link. Wake up. Young Link? Come on if this is a joke it's not funny!"
Young Link's eyes blinked and he frowned. He got up and wipped the powder that was on his face.
"Aw man! I though I would fool you."
"I guess you'll never fool me Young Link," replied Cyrus as he got up to his feet. Young Link took Cyrus' hands and he led him up to Roy's room where an unsuspected surprise laid hidden.
"Roy! Cyrus is here!"
The room sat in complete silence as the door creaked open. It was as though the world had stop turning, there was no sound, no reply, no anything. Young Link walked in happy and was marching forward when he glanced back at Cyrus to see him shaking his head and his eyes suddenly when dull. Young Link stopped moving and asked, "What's wrong?"
"R-Roy! I-i-is he suppose t-to b-b-be dead!"
Young Link looked in the direction of the young teen's glance and above them was Roy's motionless body.
"I... I don't believe it! It must be one of Fox's illusions."
"It isn't. Only Falco and Fox can make illusions of themselves, not of anyone else."
Young Link's eyes stared wide eyed at the strangled body that was Roy. Roy's blue eyes stared straight ahead of himself, his auburn hair was messed up as usual. Cyrus felt an emotion he hadn't felt in almost 5 years. It was sadness creeping up to his eyes and making start crying out loud.
"ROY! ROY! PLEASE DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE DEAD! I... I don't want you to go. Please come back..."
"It's okay Cyrus."
"How? My only friend besides you is dead and everyone is going to think we did this," explained Cyrus as his face went pale and his black eyes were shining with sorrow. Young Link just stared at the floor and ran off, obviously to get help.
"Why did you have to go?"
Cyrus looked at his surroundings to see that there was a stool right below Roy. He walked up to it and thought to himself.
"Well I'm the same size as Roy so let's see if it was suicide."
Cyrus stepped on the stool to reveal that he was meerly inches away from Roy's feet. He stepped off and he sat against a wall. Young Link soon arrived with help.
"It wasn't... suicide."
Young Link turned his attention to the boy who was shivering. He was curious.
"What?"
"Someone murdered Roy... in his sleep," whispered Cyrus as the tears fell from his dark eyes that were now staring at the stool. Young Link sat besides him in hope to make him feel better.
