Author's Note: I do not own any of the characters from the Legend of Zelda series, nor do I own any of the characters from the Wind Waker game. They all belong to Shigeru Miyamoto and Nintendo. Trinity, my own character, does belong to me. Do not use her without my permission, and do not steal her.

Without further ado, I present to you, "Precious Life". I will provide a link to those of you interested in what Trinity looks like on my main page. I drew her on my own, and I'm very proud with how she turned out!

Also, for those of you who are curious, the song Trinity sings is from "Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles". The character Manuel sings it, and I fell in love with that song. It seemed so fitting for her. Soooo…I do not claim ownership of that song. It is owned strictly by Capcom.

She was alone. The floors she sat upon were hard and made her poor body ache with grief. The metal shackle around her ankle was heavy and rubbed a sore upon the flesh. Her dress, once long, flowing, and beautiful, was now tattered and dirty.

The cold organ music hurt her ears, the loud music humming all throughout the stolen castle. The castle had once been big and beautiful with white stones and tall pillars. Now it was a dark and evil fortress, where no light shone anywhere within its dank walls. It floated over a large pit of lava to serve as a moat to keep intruders out, as the current master liked it.

She had given up all hope of ever seeing the light of day ever again. For seven years, she had been locked away as his prisoner.

"Goddesses, why have you abandoned me in such a manner?" She cried out, tears running down her sad and dirty face.

"Why is it that I am to die and give my life up for a person of such evil? Was this your plan all along, Goddesses?" She sobbed as she threw herself to the hard floor, crying wretched tears that she thought had dried up years ago.

The immense loneliness that she felt was unbearable. It was then, as she looked up, she saw gentle blue eyes looking at her through the bars of her cell. A man in green clothes was looking at her. He had opened his mouth and was saying something, but she couldn't hear what he was saying…

"…" Trinity opened her aqua-colored eyes to the scent of the sea and the sound of the waves and seagulls crying out. Gently, she sat up, looking around at her surroundings.

She was in her house, not in the dungeon of some castle. She wasn't chained up to the wall. And she was alone; no strange men were watching her or trying to say something to her.

"But that dream…I've had it before." She murmured as she got up from the bed, going over to the open window. The sky was beautiful today; perfectly blue with just a few puffy white clouds flying through the sky.

Trinity could hear the townspeople of Windfall chattering away, as usual. She could hear Zunari trying to sell his wares to passerby; his voice was so loud, and it was carried easily on the wind.

Deciding that there was no point in staying in her home, Trinity strode over to the trunk that she kept her clothes in. She selected a simple white dress with a blue stripe at the bottom, a small matching bow on the back, and put it on. She never wore shoes; her feet were never comfortable in them, and instead chose to go barefoot.

For some odd reason, her silvery hair was as neat as ever; it was never messy upon waking up. It was so strange…Of course, she kept the bandage on her left arm, for there was a most unusual marking on her skin; it consisted of three triangles, and it was most unappealing to her. It looked like a scar, but it wasn't exactly a scar. In fact, she had no idea on how she had received such a marking. So, to avoid any further shame, she kept it bandaged at all times.

Immediately after leaving her home, she was greeted by Maggie. She looked rather pitiful this morning; Trinity supposed she hadn't had her breakfast, since she and her Father were poor.

"Good morning, Miss. Can you spare some Rupees?" Maggie asked quietly, her eyes containing hope. Without a second though, Trinity produced a few blue Rupees, dropping them into the tiny sack that Maggie always carried.

"Here you go, Maggie. Go get you and your Father something to eat." She said, walking away from Maggie, who had started to bow deeply. She stopped to look at the poster that had recently been put up.

"Attention!

Due to the recent abductions of young girls across the Great Sea, a curfew has been set in place for the residents of Windfall Island. All residents are to be inside their homes at sunset, and are not to leave until sun up the next day.

Thank you for your understanding!"

Trinity had heard about something like that…Yes, she had overheard the Rito postman talking to one of the sailors about how young girls with pointed ears were getting kidnapped all across the Great Sea. Where they were being taken to, she had no idea. But her pointed ears told her that she had best obey what was set in place. It didn't matter that she was only fifteen years of age; she was still considered a young girl.

From the setting of the sun, it was late in the day; had she overslept again? That only gave her about six hours of wandering the small island. No matter; she wouldn't oversleep again tomorrow. She would borrow a boat tomorrow and try to visit Dragon Roost Island. It wasn't that far, and she could spend the night and come back the next day.

But, for now, she would just do what she did at this time of the day; go underneath the small cliff and sing. Mrs. Marie taught her that singing strengthened your lungs and was good for you. Nobody ever bothered her underneath the cliff, and she was free to sing to her heart's content.

Trinity made her way to her spot underneath the cliff, enjoying the cool ocean water on her bare feet. Taking a deep breath, she began to sing a song that she had been singing for…For as long as she could remember. Trinity couldn't remember where she had heard it…But she loved it so much.

Sleep my love as the birds above do rest their weary wings
Let the rain play a gentle song to help your dreams sing.

Sleep my love close your eyes and when you awaken
the new day will bring to you a bright new world
Ever so gently hear my voice
Ever so softly feel my touch
Always so gently I walk
So go to sleep my love.
