For those confused right now, just read and you'll catch on.

Prologue: Born of Light, Persuded by Darkness

As the defeat of Demise was completed by the Hero of Time, Link, another prophecy came into being. It was to be the Demon Lord's final words that would sew the first thread of the fate of the coming: As time would come to pass, as it must, evil would once more seep into our world, for not even the strongest of magic and power can keep darkness at bay forever. There will come a day when the servant of evil would once more arise to awaken his master. With revenge and hatred empowering him with strength unlike any, only by my blood and that of my Hero can he be sealed once more in his prison. Young hero, my child, marked at birth, with my servants as your guide, you must bare the weight of your father's blade and use it once more to slay the Darkness, but to do so, you must face many a hardship. Only when you find the True Light within can you hope to restore balance.

No one would ever hear these words, for they were drowned in the blood curdling scream of Demise. All to soon, it came time for these words to pass.

*Shadow world(As I like to call it)*

In the world between the others, the shadows gathered and prepared to once again wage war with the world of Light.

"Go... Now... My servant. Awaken me in the world over... So I may feasted on the blood of those who destroyed me," a molevolent voice beckoned.

"With pleasure," a mad voice replied as a white haired demon cloaked with a black cape strode off to the Sky kingdom of Hyrule.

*Sky Castle*

While evil began to re-enter the World of Light, the Hero of Time, King Link, was loosing his mind over other matters. By his side, his loyal Loftwing and Groose, who had become a close friend, tried desperately to calm the nerves of the king, who had seemed ready to launch himself out a window with no intension of calling his bird. While the crimson beast tried nudging nervousness out of him, Groose, also captain of his imperial knights, began talking some sense into his friend.

"Okay Link, you're nervous, I get it! But with all due respect, you look like you should be the one laying in bed!"

That did nothing to sooth the young king. His head was too filled with what if questions.

what if he wasn't good enough?

What if she died in there?

What if they hated him?

"Groose, I know you're trying to help, but you're not! I just wish I could be in there with her!" The king stared at his bedroom door, praying that his wife was alright.

"Zelda's a strong girl, Link. She'll be fine!"

There was a rustling from behind the door. A few minutes later, it gently opened. A maid walked over to the monarch. Bowing, she only one sentence.

"It's a girl, your Majesty!"

The servant barley had enough time to stand before the king raced into the room. Within the large bedroom, Zelda laid in their bed, exhausted and sore, but her eyes filled with joyous tears over the bundle that slept near her heart. Link walked over to his bride and gave her a passionate kiss. His eyes then fell to his child, their child. Her hair was golden brown like her father's; skin fair as her mother; and as she awoke, he saw he eyes were as clear blue as the sky. Link too began to weep.

"Zelda, she's beautiful. Just like you," he whispered, placing another kiss on her temple.

"She's ours, Link. Our little Elisiana," she wept with joy.

"May I hold her?"

Taking the child in his arms, Link looked in wonder at the life he and Zelda had created together. Suddenly, a sharp cry filled the air, and through the window, a crimson Loftwing descended on the family. The two parents stood in awe, pondering why this rare breed had appeared to them. The bird, smaller than Link's own, walked over to the king and stared at the baby who lay sleeping in her father's arm. Link suddenly realized why the creature had appeared: it was his daughter's Loftwing! But why had it appeared at her birth? Usually the two beings are joined together during childhood, never this early. And yet, here it was.

"Unbelievable Zelda!"

"I know. Never has a Loftwing and rider met at birth!"

Not knowing what else to do, Link placed his newborn daughter in her crib, kissed his wife good-bye, and led the bird to the stable to be fitted for a saddle. Little did he know that bigger problems than this Loftwing mystery were on the way. And the thing that tied them all together was the one detail the two had missed in their daughter.

On her left hand, the mark of the Triforce shone faintly.

Two days after the birth of Zelda's and Link's first born, horrible shrieks and cries of man and demon alike roared through the air. Link fought valiantly against the herds of moblins that raided the palace to protect his family. As the two lovers reunited in halls, an unfortunately familiar face appeared.

"Link, so we meet again," the black scarred demon hissed.

"Ghirahim!" Link growled, stepping in front of Zelda.

"In the flesh, Hero. I hope you and Her Grace have enjoyed the extra time in this life, because we will be destroying you now,"

"How are you here?" Zelda demanded.

"Well Hylia, or do you prefer Zelda, that little blade your husband used to play with couldn't keep darkness trap forever. Now I am free and soon so will be my master. All we need now is a sacrifice!"

"You're not taking Zelda!" the king roared.

"Oh we don't need her. No, she's useless now. I came for another light, one far more powerful than the both of you," As he said this, a wall of fire separated them, giving him a chance to get ahead.

"What new light?" Link thought aloud.

"Wait a minute," Zelda said with dread in her voice.

"THE BABY!" They both cried simultaneously.

Using a different passage, the two parents raced down the halls to their room. The guards in front were beaten terribly and some even dead. When they ran inside, they found their enemy, but the baby's cradle was empty.

"How inconvenient. It appears fate has once more allowed the one thing I need to elude me! I'll spare you now, but once I grab hold of your child, your fates are sealed!" The creature disappeared and the demons within the castle vanished as well. The monarchs rushed over to their baby's cradle and found crimson feathers all around. Elisiana's Loftwing, they assumed, sensed the danger and took her far from here. The family wasted no time rounding up a search party to look for the missing child. But they found nothing. Zelda and Link wept for their child, the grief all too much. They would not see her again for many years.

In a country to the east, far beyond the eyes of evil, a crimson bird and a rider with a child in her arms landed. The mysterious woman had been called by her mistress to protect her child from evil. Checking the trail, she knew the hunter would return soon. Placing the child in a basket, she leaned in to get a better look. The baby would grow to look like Her Grace, no doubt. Taking off the bracelet she had given her, she placed it on the child's wrist.

"Never forget who you are, little one."

Hearing the approach of a horse, she retreated to the trees where she kept watch over the babe. A chestnut stallion came to a halt as the hunter on its back found the child. He dismounted and called out while walking towards her.

"Hello? Is anyone there?"

Suddenly, the crimson bird attacked him, not willing to let his rider be injured. Raising his arrows in defense, the hunter saw this as well as the bird's saddle. He realized.

"Oh, you're trying to protect her. It's alright, I just want to help."

To prove it, he put the bow down. Seeing he meant no harm, the crimson beast backed off, allowing the man to hold the girl.

"Come with me," he said and the bird understood.

He looked at the child and smiled. Mounting his horse, he rode off with the baby, her bird quickly followed. Watching them, Impa began to think.

"a new journey is to begin, and it's your's to walk child. When your time comes, I will guide you."

As Impa vanished into the night, the first chapter of the legend was written. Soon, though, evil would rise and only the Marked One could stop it.
