Prologue: The Once and Future King and Scholar
Zelda withdrew her dagger in a slicing motion from the neck of the guard. The body fell, but not before she caught the guy and dragged him with her into the shadow. Zelda, dressed in her tight blue outfit rushed up the now unguarded castle steps, her face covered in a mask. Bodies laid hidden all around. She breathed heavily.
I have to get this over with quick. If I don't kill him immediately he will tire me out and finish me off.
At the top of the steps, instead of bursting through the massive set of double doors Zelda ran up the wall and slipped through a small hole. Most people never looked up to notice the hole that was meant to ventilate the room in case of poison, but she grew up in this castle. Zelda knew the castle better than anyone, more than any of the guards, more than her father, more than Ganon, and more than him.
Zelda landed inside the throne room like a cat. Darkness enveloped her body. Zelda's mind meandered like it often did. Despite its benefit to her situation now, she wanted to berate her father for not totally lighting the throne room. He choose to keep himself open to an assassin rather than ruin the decor of tinted flame on red tapestry and gold walls.
"Idiot," she whispered to herself.
Zelda kneeled and slowly tip toed up the side of the chamber. She passed pillar after pillar until she finally saw him.
Link sat in the throne. She had to admit, he looked like he fit the role of a warrior king. His huge muscles burst through his tight green outfit. His double cleft chin rested on the back of his palm. Link was asleep. The master sword stood in a scabbard by his chair.
Now is my chance!
Zelda raced from the shadow, pulling the dagger from the sheath behind her back. She jumped in the air, hesitantly putting all of her self into the blow.
If I don't kill him now I will die. My kingdom will die.
With both of her hands, Zelda thrust the dagger at Link's throat. That's when she felt it, Links raw power. The Kokiri's eyes shot open. The back of his fist smashed her in the breast.
*Crack*
Zelda flew back. Her body raced past the line of pillars and she smacked against the wall. Saliva flew out of her mouth.
I can't let him win!
Zelda regained her composure as she slid down the wall. She landed on her feet. Link pulled the Master Sword from the standing scabbard.
He looked at her with angry eyes, with hurt eyes. Zelda held her dagger in front of her.
"I'm sorry Link. I have to kill you."
Link is Kokiri in this world.
