*****Chapter One*******
*The Adventure begins*
Part 1-Dreams and the new kid
**Dream**
Thunder. Thunder was the first thing I noticed. The sound and rumble of it. The shear force of it. It shook the land that I stood on. Rain poured down on top of me. Slow at first, then faster and harder. I could feel each drop of water hit me. My senses were on full alert.
The ground was already soggy from the water. Lightening lit up the grounds around me. I could see a great field of grass. Tiny animals ran for cover in the rain. It seemed like a peaceful scene, all but the sky. It was black. A dark cloud was hovering over me.
I stared up at it as it circled around my head. Smears of dark grey and black swirled together in a violent storm. Something evil was stirring.
I heard chains click behind me. I turned around. My clothes clung to me like a second skin. The rusty chains hit each other as they lowered a large wooden bridge that was connected to a large stone wall. The bridge slowly landed with a large thud onto the ground in front of me.
I heard a rhythm of four hooves hitting the ground. It sounded like horse hooves hitting stone ground. They seemed to be in a hurry by the sound of it, a full out Gallop.
I saw a white blur running straight for me. It got larger and proved to be a horse. I gasped as I jumped out the way, barely escaping the beast's hooves. I looked after the riders, a grown woman and a child. A girl child with blonde hair and bright blue eyes, that were wide open in shock and fright.
They ran out of my range of vision. I was about to run after them, when I heard another sound of hooves. I turned and saw a black horse stop beside me. Just past the bridge.
The horse was as black as any night. It's enraged eyes resembled anger and hate itself. It was covered in heavy metal armor, ready for battle at any moment. The horse turned to me and snorted. I stepped back in fear.
Then I made eye contact with the rider. I felt such fear inside of me I never thought I could be so afraid in my life! The man had a sickening green tint to his skin. His hair seemed to be on fire because of its red color. His eyes seemed to be the fires of hell themselves. He gave a scowl towards the field. His face twisted up in anger was even worse, if that was possible, than his regular face.
He turned to me and gave a smirk. He raised his hand. I felt evil being pulled into the hand that he raised.
I felt my mouth drop open.
**End of Dream**
I sat up fast. I was soaked, not by water but by sweat. I panted at the end of my bed. It had been the same nightmare, night after night.
'Maybe I should stop sleeping,' I thought. Then I lay back down for a while. My body was still tired from staying up late last night.
'I just HAD to watch that anime show right after moving all my stuff in my new room, didn't I?' I thought to myself.
Then my alarm went off. I swung my hand over to it trying to just turn it off, but instead I heard a crack. I opened one of my eyes and saw my alarm clock completely busted.
'Ok.....I know I am strong, but I am not that strong,' I thought.
I sat up and looked at it. 'Maybe it had something to do with the dream? I mean it did make me wanna fight, so maybe it was adrenalin running through my veins?' I thought, before shrugging it off and getting out of bed. I yawned while I pulled up my baggy pants and slipped on a blue shirt, before running a comb through my hair a few times.
'I can't do anything with my hair so why bother? It's always the same. Golden locks to the sides and short hair in the back.' I grabbed my green baseball cap and put it on backwards. Then I pulled on my shoes and ran downstairs.
"Hey mom! What's cooking?" I asked as I helped myself to a chair and plate.
"Toast, pancakes and waffles. What would you like?" my mom said as she turned around waiting for the answer.
"How about a waffle and a piece of toast, since I gotta eat a little lighter today. I got baseball practice today remember?" I said.
"Yes, yes I do dear, but you must remember that I am your mother and I say you have to eat a hardy breakfast." My mom replied.
She was always like this. She made sure I ate enough to feed a village before I left to go anywhere. And before I would go somewhere she would do 'The check up' first. Yeah you could call her over protective of me, but since dad went off and left she's been like this. She keeps it somewhere in her mind that 'A happy person will always come back' as she puts it. I guess she means that she doesn't wanna lose me too.
I smiled at her and said, "Yeah, but if I am too fat to get to the field, it's your fault mom."
She smiled back at me and turned to put all the breakfast food onto my plate.
After breakfast, I said goodbye and skipped out of there before she had a chance to remember she didn't do 'The check up' before I left.
The check up was something she always did. I called it that because she would always mumble 'Just checking up' when she was doing it. She would make sure I wasn't wearing anything too baggy, that my shirt was clean, that I didn't have any food stains on my clothes, and then after all that she would turn me to face her and kiss my cheek before I left. And then she would get all sappy on me and say how much I reminded her of dad. Then she would get angry at herself and walk away.
I ran to the baseball field. When I got there they were just starting practice.
"Sorry, I'm late coach. You know how my mom is and all," I said.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm surprised you got here so early. Now get in there. This is also try-outs boys. Try to make the cut!" said coach.
I ran up to the rest of them. My family just moved here so the only people I knew was the coach, Matt, who I knew from the start was going to be my best friend here, and Matt's little sister Jane. She was very smart and pointed that fact out a lot when Matt was around.
"Hey Matt," I said.
"Hey Link. What's up?" Matt replied.
"Nothing much. Can you believe I got out of the house before 'the check up' today?" I said.
"Wow. How did you do it, become invisible? She wouldn't even let ME leave your house without 'the check up'," said Matt.
We both laughed at that comment. My mom loved to be a mother; that was for sure. She would mother any child that walked into the house whether we knew them or not. Then the coach started to talk, which stopped us from laughing to listen.
"Boys, we got a new person here to try out. Please welcome Mike," said the coach.
Then a rather large boy stepped out. He was well shaped to play football, not baseball. He had red hair and dark green eyes. He also wore baggy jeans with a black shirt on top. I was sure with that type of clothing he was going to sweat to death! It was pretty hot out here. He pushed his way past everyone and knocked a few kids over. Then he stood beside Matt and I.
"What's your name shorty?" Mike asked.
"My name is Matt, and this is my friend Link," replied Matt.
"Link? What kind of name is that? Who would name their kid Link?" said Mike.
"My mom would," I said looking down and blushing.
Mike started to laugh at me, then he moved away to go bug some other kids.
"Don't worry about it Link. He's just a jerk, that's all. Anyways, I think the name Link is a lot cooler than the name Mike," said Matt.
I smiled at that comment. At least Matt was nice. The rest of the day went fine; aside from the fact that whenever the coach called my name Mike would laugh. I kinda got used to it and ignored him completely. Then when I ran up to catch a pop fly, Mike pushed me over so he could catch it, which he did. I glared at him in surprise at his rudeness. Coach didn't see him do that because he was busy helping out another kid with his glove.
I helped myself up and dusted the dirt off the back of my shirt. Then I grabbed my glove and tried to catch the next one.
After practice Matt and me went over to my house to get some lunch before we went to the mall to see the new James Bond movie '007 strikes once again'! It was going to be one of those action packed, fighting movies I loved so much. I couldn't wait to see it.
********************************
Elsewhere in another realm
********************************
"You can't keep me here forever you know! I will escape no matter what!" yelled an evil green skinned, red-eyed man. His name was Ganondorf, an evil wizard/thief/King.
See many years ago, two people put him there: a boy who later became the Hero of Time, and a princess named Zelda. With their power, and the will of the Hero of Time, they put his evil to a stop and restored all of the land to peace once again. Now he wanted revenge, and no one was there to stop him, at least that's what he thought.
********************************
Back to our story
********************************
"Mom! I'm going to go see the James Bond movie!" I yelled.
"Oh no you're not! You have to study for your legends and myths test tomorrow! You don't wanna get an F on it do you?" My mom replied as she walked into the room.
"But mom...," I started.
"But nothing. You are to stay here and study for the test, and that is that." My mom said, giving me the 'If you go, you die' look.
"You win. Matt, I'll see you tomorrow at school," I said, and slowly started to my room to study.
"Well, I'll see you then. I won't see the movie until next week when you can come, ok Link?" said Matt.
"No, no. You go ahead. I'll wait till it comes out on video and buy it. That way I can watch it over and over again," I said.
"Ok. See ya," said Matt as he walked out the door.
"See ya," I said as I climbed up the stairs. I plopped down on my bed and buried my face into the pillow.
'Life isn't fair. It just isn't. Why can't it be easier like the people in the legends book? I'd rather fight dinosaurs or slay dragons, than do homework. Life, just plain and simple, wasn't fair for anyone,' I thought with a sigh. I reached under my bed and pulled out the huge story book filled with fake adventures.
There was a fake leather case covering it, with pen writing all over it. 'Probably from other students writing on it,' I thought. On the cover was printed writing in red letters, 'Myths and Legends of the Past'.
I was supposed to study these 'legends'. I don't know why people even care about this kind of stuff. It's all fake, and has nothing to do with real life! I mean, what type of insane person would believe in Dragons and stuff like that?
Not me that's for sure,' I thought, as I opened to the index and found something very interesting. 'The Legend of Zelda: Link the hero of time'.
I opened it to that page and saw the picture of Link. 'Hey, that looks almost exactly like me. Maybe this book won't be so boring after all?' I thought. Then I saw the picture of Princess Zelda. 'Not half bad, too bad she isn't real,' I thought some more, as I started to read the legend.
****************************************************
The Legend of Zelda: Link, the Hero of Time
The land of Hyrule was peaceful. Quiet times were very frequent around here. Then one day, a terrible man came from the desert. A man named Ganondorf. He was the king of the thieves. He rode on a black horse to the Hyrule castle.
From then on peace was very hard to find. After he had caused curses all over the land, a song was played. The song of time by a young boy.
He opened the doors of time and pulled out the master sword. His spirit was kept inside of the sacred realm for seven years before returning.
He was an adult now, and with his mighty courage and braveness, defeated Ganondork and saved the land of Hyrule. The legend was passed down from the royal family Zelda.
Zelda being the Princess at the time, helped Link seal Ganondorf into the scared realm for all eternity. He is said to be kept in darkness, and then after his body is gone, his spirit will remain in darkness forever.
******************************************************
"Man, that guy must've made a lot of people mad to get locked into a realm of darkness forever," I said.
The Legend was short for most of them but he wanted to learn about this Hero Of Time. If he was so great then what happened after he died? Did he have kids of something? Who could his title pass down too?
'Wait a second! This is a Legend! What am I thinking? It's a L-e-g-e-n-d. Legend! There is nothing to think about it being real or not. But still I wonder. I guess I will have to look through the rest of the book to know about Link. I wonder if he was anything like me?' I thought before starting to read another legend.
The next day I woke up from another one of those nightmares. It never changed, and my reaction from seeing the guy never changed either. I got out of bed, took a quick shower and put on some clothes. I got down stairs and was surprised to not see my mother standing at the counter cooking. This got me a little worried.
"Mom!" I yelled. No answer.
"Mom!!" I yelled again, only louder. My voice echoed along the empty house.
Silence answered my waiting ears. I started to panic a little now.
"MOM! MOM! Where are you?!" I yelled again.
I ran around the house looking for her, and then I opened her bedroom door. My mom was in her bed with tears falling down her face. Her shoulders were slumped down as she looked at me. No, she was looking past me at something, something or someone behind me. I slowly turned my head around, ready to face whatever it may be. I turned my whole body around. My face lost its anger and my whole body lost feeling. My heart pounded so hard against my chest I thought it would pop right out.
"It can't be," was all I was able to say.
***********************************
Do you like my re-made first chapter? It has the same basic plot and still has most of the original writing, but I added detail and some more talking and thinking for link. ^_^ Hope you like it!
Each chapter will have ten parts in it. So far there are two complete chapters.
