Chapter One

AN: So, I'm going to do something out of the norm for me; I guess I'm dedicating this story idea to a friend of mine who really got me into the LoZ universe (like into it; I'd always known about it). She knows who she is, and I just hope she likes this story.

Disclaimer: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't own LoZ. If I did, Ganondorf would've appeared by now! (six years of no Ganondorf… what is this, Nintendo?) (OoT 3D doesn't count)

The two of them had been best friends for years. They were one year apart, but it didn't really matter. They had grown up since then, one had moved across the city, but that didn't stop them from being friends.

The younger one, who was seventeen at the time, had orange hair that hit her shoulders. The older one, who was eighteen, had reddish brown hair that was just a little longer. The younger one was named Cora, and the older one was named Nadia.

Currently, they were at Cora's house, playing Skyward Sword. Cora was battling Ghirahim, while Nadia was silently laughing.

"I'm so sorry, I just can't take him seriously," she said to her friend. "Mind if I play my ocarina while you play?" Cora replied that she didn't mind, so Nadia dove into her backpack and fished out the blue sweet potato ocarina that her mother had giver her earlier that year as a grad present.

By the time Cora had finished defeating Ghirahim, Nadia was just finishing that last song she had memorized for the ocarina. Cora saved and turned off her Wii, when strange things started to happen. Nadia looked outside, only to see everything was slowly turning grey. What was even stranger, it appeared that time had frozen. Across the street from Cora's bedroom window, a little boy was playing basketball, only he had frozen mid jump, and the ball stayed put.

Nadia, by instinct, quickly shoved her ocarina in her backpack and held onto it for dear life.

Cora had noticed as well, but when she was about to say something, a bright light blinded both of them. When the bright light finally disappeared, they blinked a few times, taking in their surroundings. They were in a field that stretched on for kilometres.

"Okay," Nadia said.

"Where are we?" Cora questioned. She looked up in the distance, and a grin slowly grew on her face. "Nadia, does that mountain and rock face look at all familiar?"

The older one looked at what her friend was looking at. Just to make sure she wasn't seeing things, she whipped her head around and looked backwards. Yes, her friend was correct. There, in the far distance, stood a castle. A castle with greenish roofs. "Oh for goodness sake, you can't expect me to believe that we're here, in Hyrule."

Cora just shrugged. "I don't mind." Of course she didn't mind, one of her dreams came true. In fact, so had Nadia's, but hers had a different twist to it than her friend's.

"So we just apply what we know of the land and go to which place; Kakariko or Castle Town?" Nadia asked herself, but Cora heard, too. "Well, Kakariko is definitely closer," she reasoned with herself. "Alright, Cora, let's get going." Nadia grabbed her backpack, slung it on her shoulder, and began the trek towards the village.

However, neither of the girls knew it, but their memories of anything before this were slipping away, quite quickly.

"Nadia, we might get to see… um. Who's the person in the village again?" Cora said, looking slightly confused.

Her friend was just as confused. "Who are you talking about, Cora? We're going to the village, just so that we don't get hurt by the monsters that come out at night. I don't remember anyone special in the village." In fact, Nadia couldn't remember the village's name, just that they had to get there. "And thank god this isn't… uh. What's the newest game called? I'd be lost there, anyway."

"I'd know the way around, Nadia. It'd have Ghirahim in it, too." At that, her eyes got kind of dreamy.

Nadia rolled her eyes. She'd prefer Ganondorf any day to Ghirahim. "Hey, he might be here. Just because we're in this version of this place doesn't mean that the evil guys aren't all here." Then she groaned. "That means the ones from the DS games. Those guys are just bad villains."

Cora smiled again. "Cheer up, look, we're nearly at a passage in the rocks."

On a rock high up above the two teens, someone stood there, grinning with an evil twist to it. He had ashy skin and snow white hair. Yes, he was the same Ghirahim that the two were talking mindlessly about. They intrigued him even further, because they weren't from anywhere in Hyrule.

Cora had on a light green t-shirt that had a few designs on it, and a pair of jeans. Nadia had on white cargo pants, a red tight fitting t-shirt and a baggy purple hoodie. Definitely not from Hyrule, or any of the surrounding lands.

Ghirahim grumbled to himself as he had to report back to Ganondorf. Back in time, when all the trouble started, when Demise had perished, Ghirahim remained alive. Over the centuries, he nursed himself back to health, only to find someone that was a descendant of Demise.

At first he was glad that Demise wasn't gone forever, but quickly grew to despise Ganondorf. He wanted all the power for himself, and didn't want to give any to Ghirahim. That irked the Demon Lord quite a bit. However, he was supposed to report back anything suspicious in Hyrule to the Evil King. So, with heavy thoughts, Ghirahim disappeared in a bunch of diamonds, only to reappear in the audience chamber of Hyrule castle.

Not many people knew that Ganondorf had completely taken control of Hyrule. Yes, Zelda still 'ruled', but she was just a figure head that kept up appearances. The best part of this for Ganondorf was, that because he had the help of Ghirahim, the legendary hero, Link, was swiftly dealt with during his rise to power.

The evil king looked up when Ghirahim appeared. "This had best be important, Ghirahim."

Ghirahim had a twisted smile on his face. "It is. There seems to be two girls who know of us," the Demon lord began, when Ganondorf interrupted him.

"Then deal with them. I do not want people to know just yet. The moment isn't right."

"You didn't let me finish. The are not from Hyrule or anywhere else for that matter. They speak slightly odd and they are dressed differently."

Ganondorf contemplated this news for a minute. Perhaps he shouldn't kill them just yet. They might prove useful yet. "Capture them and bring them to me. Let's see what they know."

AN: Yeah, I know. Not the best fic in the world, what else is new? And I do apologize if you don't like my Ghirahim character at all, I've rarely seen him. I've played Skyward Sword maybe for half an hour at my friend's house. I just can't take him seriously… sorry to all his fans.
