Hyrulean Storm
Chapter 1:
The Price of Victory
Look, before you go any further into this, you need to know that it al started with one of the biggest curve balls life could have ever thrown at me: my death.
I know what your thinking, "If you died, how are you writing this now?" Well in order to answer your question, I'll have tell you who I am, and how it happened first.
My name is Leon King, but most people I know call me Storm because of my speed in battle and my unexplainable ability to control wind and lightning. At the time I was 10.
That day, I was out training with my friends in Hyrule Fields. We were known as "The Outcasts", because we used to be in training to be knights. Unfortunately, our styles were nothing like the ones they were trying to teach us so they kicked us out and we started fighting the monsters as a separate force and usually wound up putting the regular knights to shame.
My friends consisted of three other Outcasts, Alex Fueros, nicknamed Sparrow. A 6-year-old master of the shortsword with brown hair and green eyes, and almost like an adoptive little brother for me with earth control abilities. Nick Diemon, who went by Pyro, was a 21-year-old one man wrecking crew with red hair and brown eyes, and an assortment of heavy weapons that he carried around as easily as a knight did his sword and power over fire. And last but not least was my 11-year-old girlfriend Alice Minaka, who went by Monsoon because she could rain down arrow like crazy with her bow and wash away our foes with the power of water, with her blonde hair and blue eyes. I had black hair and gray eyes and was using my curved sword on a dummy.
It was just past noon and we were taking a lunch break. Out of nowhere, a horde of stalchildren came up and surrounded us! We took up battle stances and had beaten at least 100, but they just kept coming!
"Dang! Not only do these things come out in the day, which should be impossible, but there seems to be no end to them!" I called out to the others, I took out a huge one, then turned and saw a stalchild charging a spell! That shouldn't be possible, but it was happening! Not only that, but it was aiming right at Alice!
"ALICE LOOK OUT!" I screamed as I jumped right in front of the spell. It hit me directly in the chest and I fell to the ground, in too much pain to move.
"LEON! Leon please, wake up!" Alice cried after she took out the stalchild. Oddly enough, just after I'd been hit and the stalchild destroyed, the others disintegrated. I slowly reached up and put a hand on her cheek.
"Alice...Sometimes, the price of victory...Is higher than can be imagined." I said before I let my hand drop and felt my spirit pass on.
