This takes place in the lost memory by the shrine near the ancient ruins in BoW, it does have a little spoilers but its not totally the same, i just furthered it a little ;). please review if you like...or if you don't doesn't matter to me.

Princess Zelda placed the shiekah slate over the dim temple plate. The structure was deserted, dark and worn. 10,00 years ago it had been in use, now she could only wonder how to activate it. Nothing happened as she clicked her nails on the slate device.

"Come on…ah, just as I thought. The shine seems to be reserved for the sword's chosen one." silence…

She rolled her shoulders back and stepped back to examine the structure. Ancient Runes and scribes were carved into the closed door. She reached out and ran her fingers along one of the symbols.

"10,000 years, and our language has changed drastically. There is no way I can read this without some kind of translator. But there has to be a way in, designs can always be worked around, at least I hope."

She glanced up at the structure once again, looking for a possible second entrance.

"How do I get inside? There must be something."

She clutched her shiekah slate in her hands and held back close to her chest. A whine of a horse alerted her from her train of thought. She turned to face a boy with wheat blonde hair, pulled back into a ponytail and striking blue eyes, rather similar to hers. He wore a blue tunic and carried the sword of legend on his back.

"Hmmm…" she seemed displeased with this and began walking back towards her own white stallion. The boy hopped off the black horse he mounted and trotted closer to the princess.

"I thought I made it clear that I am not in need of an escort." Her brows were furrowed now, she walked with such furry that her hair formed whips and waves with each step. She stopped and raised her hands on her hips and raised her chin.

"Hah…it seems like I am the only one with a mind of my own." She looked him over, his strong yet small frame, the sparks of his eyes. She hated him but found his strangely alluring. Why her father had commanded this boy to follow her everywhere, she couldn't muster a rational reason. The boy kneeled to show his respect.

"With all do respect your highness, I was appointed as your personal knight to protect you."

Zelda rolled her eyes, "As you can see, I am perfectly fine. Why my father believes I need an escort, I will never understand, but you are to return to the castle immediately, do you understand? HMPH!"

Zelda stormed off to her horse but stopped again and groaned with her fingers clenched into fists.

The knight was wise enough to acknowledge her irritated tone and stiff stature but he was uncomfortable leaving her alone. He was born to protect her and thus he shall to his last breath.

In one swift swivel her hair whipped in a beautiful arc until she faced him again.

"And stop following me!" she stamped her foot down and leaned in on the statement with stocky shoulders.

She was like a child the boy thought, a very cute, intelligent young girl throwing a temper tantrum.

Zelda stood back for a moment and examined his dreamy expression, she thought he was so cute, a boyish face that would never fade. What was she thinking?! She was just fine on her own. She turned again and put her foot into the first stirrup and pushed up to swing her leg around but found she couldn't.

"Princess wait!" The boy jogged over and gripped her by the ankle in an effort to stop her.

She pulled back and turned her head to aim a kick.

"LET ME GO! DO YOU HEAR ME?!" she was losing her balance now and all the tugging and wavering was spooking the white mare.

"Princess please listen for a moment!" he pulled back on her boot only for it to slip off and have him fall back and the Princess rush forward with a squeal. The horse reared and tossed Zelda down the hill but gave her enough time to grip her knight's boot to pull him along.

"AH!" he responded by surprise and they both continued with painful grunts and yells as they rolled down the hill of ancient columns. Instinctively he reached out as best he could and pulled Zelda into his grasp to protect her, trying to make the least amount of ground contact.

It was all over when he felt his back hit the water of a shallow lily pond. He sat up slowly with his arms supporting his weight. His hair dripping and clothes soaked, he reached behind his head and felt a swelling bruise growing on the back of his head.

Zelda's eyes stayed shut tight, her position now laying over his chest and her legs straddling his hips. She popped her eyes open and gasped realizing she was safe and sound but blushed madly when she noticed how close they were. Her ear lay gently over his heartbeat to which she could tell it was picking up and his body heat was rising.

"W-what?! H-how?" she pushed up and looked him sternly in the eyes.

"You! Who exactly do you think you are?!" the boy looked at her with a confused expression.

"Link, that's who I am."

Zelda scoffed, "I don't need an introduction, I don't need an escort, and I CERTAINLY DON'T NEED YOU! STOP FOLLOWING ME!"

Link didn't expect what was to come, but neither did Zelda, she only did what her heart desired at that very moment.

She grabbed his tunic and pulled him up out of the water until his lips met hers in a passionate kiss.

Link's eyes could only get wider as they made contact, shocked and stunned by her act. She kept hers closed but only for the length of the kiss. The moment it was over she pushed him back and yelled again, "AND STOP BEING SO CUTE!"

Zelda pushed him down into the water creating a splash and jumped up and out of the pond to grab her soaking boot, mount her horse and race off.

Link could only lay there silently in the pond, a frog jumped to his shoulder but he didn't move.

It was at that moment, he realized his true desire for the princess…too bad she wouldn't have that moment of clarity until she's hunted in the Gerudo desert.

by request i will continue this list of memories, at least to the Gerudo desert one, maybe more if i can find the time.
