Okay, so here's the first chapter. Hope it turns out good.

P.S.- The words within the -------- lines correspond to a scene playing out.


Evi's POV

I lay in bed, awake but still. The sun's rays shining through my bedroom window, and onto my face. I stared out at a small table by my bed, but only really acknowledging a small object on it. A memento given to me by a friend. His name was Link. See, half a year ago, during a harsh storm, I was, you can say, kidnapped, into the world of Zelda, Hyrule to be exact. But that's a different tale.

I picked up the small shining object, and smiled. Saria's Ocarina. I held it close to me, reminiscing my days of the past.

"I'm happy it's all over, but so sad it had to end.. I'm just sorry I had nothing to give to you.."

My little moment was suddenly interrupted by the sound of my room door creaking open. I panicked, throwing up the covers and crawling inside.

"o you..." I heard from a soft voice, only hearing part of what I guess was a whole sentence.

I breathed steadily and made small snoring noises, hoping who ever it was would leave. There was silence, then another creak, and small steps.

"day to you..." said the small voice, getting closer, louder.

I groaned and sat up, greeted by a smiling child.

"Happy birthday, Dear Evi, happy birthday to you!" sang the small girl in front of me.

Her name is Rosaline. She's 12 and very optimistic, but she's also my little sister. She has shoulder-length brown hair, and light brown eyes. She shared my same love for The Legend of Zelda, and Link, but I never really mentioned anything of what had happened to her. I doubt she would believe me anyway.

Though she had been getting suspicious as to why I had a blue tunic and an ocarina that resembled Saria's in every way. Not to mention I've been trying to suppress the now hardly controllable shadow powers those damn sages were so kind to let me keep as punishment. Pssh! Apparently, it's a bad thing to save Hyrule...even if I did put it in peril in the process...

"You remembered, how great." I said sarcastically.

"Why aren't you excited? You're finally sixteen! Isn't that a good thing?"

I yawned and fell back on my bed, "Eh, whatever. Age is but a number."

She pouted at me and shifted a bit to the side, holding her arms out to me. A small rectangle wrapped in blue checkered paper occupied her palms.

"What's that you got there?" I asked, sitting back up.

She smiled at my stupid question, "Your present, duh!"

I glared at her for using that sort of 80-90's language, took the gift and shook it, receiving a small rattle.

"Oh. My. Gosh. It's a bomb isn't it?" I joked, pushing the box to her.

She laughed lightly and pushed the box back in my direction, "Just open it will you?"

I sighed and ripped the paper as slowly as possible, knowing that it pissed my sister off. When I finally did unwrap it, I hugged my sister.

"This is awesome! You're the best!"

She laughed a bit, "I knew you really wanted it, so I thought, 'What the heck.' Anyway, I'll leave you alone, I gotta go somewhere with Mom anyways. Have fun then." she said, walking to the door and out my room.

The door opened again and Rosaline poked her head in.

"And Sis, you NEED a haircut." with that, she left.

What does she know? Always choppin' off her locks! I tied my hair in a neat bun at the top of my head and put my Zora Tunic cap over my head to cover it. I already wore the blue shirt, over an under-top of my own, and the leggings, rolled to my knees, as pj's anyways.

I sat back and admired the box. It's image was slit in half. One half was a dull golden color with Link staring off in the distance. The other half was a dull silver with the picture of a snarling blue-eyed wolf. The top center read, 'The Legend of Zelda, Twilight Princess.' It was the Gamecube version.

I fell on the floor next to my Gamecube and popped open the disc cover. I opened the game box, carefully took out the disc, and placed it in the console. I pushed the power button and grabbed my control.

One of those warnings came up, I ignored it and pressed start. The logos came up, followed by the start screen. It was sunset, and Link was riding Epona through the sunset.

I pressed start again and the file selection screen came up. I left it at default settings, file name Link and horse name Epona. The screen went black, but after a few second, a scene began to play out.

---------

There was a beautiful spring. Waterfall spilling onto smaller ledges that gracefully spread the water to the land below them.

The scene slowly scrolled down and words with a glowing yellow aura spelled themselves out on a decorative speech box.

"Tell me... Do you ever feel a strange sadness as dusk falls?"

There were two men sitting about a foot away from the water, but nevertheless looking straight into it's beauty.

One man was dressed in dark green clothing, a long sleeved shirt with short pants and dark brown sandals. A white band around his head and waist, a stord strapped across his back pointed to his right, his head decorated with short locks of dusty blond hair. He seemed to be older looking.

The other man wore a long white sleeveless shirt, though a green long sleeve sewed on the left arm, his waist wrapped in a blue and orange belt, light brown pants, and matching sandals that tied at his ankles. His head was also covered in dusty blond locks, but they were more wild.

Only their backs could I see.

"They say it's the only time when our world intersects with theirs... The only time we can feel the lingering regrets of spirits who have left our world."

The scene changed to a quick view of the older looking man, then to half of the younger ones head.

"That is why loneliness always pervades the hour of twilight... But enough talk of sadness... I have a favor to ask of you, Link."

Link?

"I was supposed to deliver something to the royal family of Hyrule the day after tomorrow..."

The scene moved up, and the young man turned his head in my direction.

He had beautiful blue eyes, a serene smile. He looked like the Link I once met, but different somehow.

"Yes, it was a task set to me by the mayor, but...would you go in my stead? You have...never been to hyrule, right?"

Link's look changed to that of ambition.

"In the kingdom of Hyrule there is a great castle, and around it is Castle Town, a community far bigger than our little village. ...And far bigger than Hyrule is the rest of the world the gods created."

"You should look upon it all with your own eyes."

The man stood, Link's eyes followed him.

"It is getting late... We should head back to the village. I will talk to the mayor about this matter."

They both stood, and walked to a great horse who I guess was Epona. They walked over a long bridge, where at the end the man closed a gate behind them. They passed another, smaller, spring, the screen was black, they stopped at what looked like a tree house.

The man walked away from Link and two a woman and small child. He patted the childs head and walked away. The child looked back at Link and smiled, whereas Link returned the smile.

After a while another person came up, but there face was not shown. They walked toward Epona, and spirited her away.

Another game while later, a buff looking guy ran up to Link's house and called out,

"Hey! Link! You there?"

Link poked his head out through a small window at the top of the house.

"Hey, you mind helpin' me herd the goats? They ain't listenin' to me lately!"

Link backed away from the window, the screen returned to the buff dude. He turned to the side and stepped forward a bit,

"Hey, where's Epona?"

The screen moved off to a small path to the left, and the scene ended.

-----------

The game turned to where I could finally control Link. I moved him through the path and came up to a small wooded area.

I walked around, tossed a few rocks, rolled into some trees, and found a small hole in the far left land. I crawled Link through it, it took a while, but when he finally got out he was at the smaller spring from before.

I moved him forward, activating another scene.

-----------

Link walked slowly forward, looking at a girl slowly walk up to Epona and pet her nose, the light beaming on them.

She quickly turned, and smiled, "Oh, hi, Link."

She turned to Epona and nodded her head, "I washe Epona for you!"

Link looked surprised, but smiled sweetly.

-----------

The girl spoke up, "Epona is a girl too, so you have to treat her nice like one! Oh, but listen, Link... Could you do something for me? Can you use a piece of grass to play that song for me? You know, the one that Epona likes?"

I looked around for pickable grass until I came up to a small plant that had brown wood like things growing out of it. They looked like horse shoes.

The hell? Is that grass?" I asked myself.

I picked it and pressed 'A'. Link automatically began to play a whistled version of the first three notes of Epona's song.

She jumped at Link, but stopped a few feet away.

The girl spoke again, "It's such a nice melody... Epona looks happy. Well, she's all prettied up now, so I suppose you can ride her back. But don't you make her do too much, OK?"

I mounted Link on Epona and rode her out through an open gate on the left, through Link's house, and into another gate, coming up to Ordon Village.

"Strange name."

I passed everyone I saw there and rode on, a small sign pointed up a large hill, to a ranch. I rode to where I saw the buff guy, he wasted no time and spoke up.

"Sorry to get you over here in such a hurry, Link. These guys have been awful skittish lately. They won't listen to a word I say. Sorry to ask, bud, but how's about you an' Epona herd 'em into the barn real quick? We ain't got much time, so you think you can do it for me?"

Two answer squares popped up, one 'Yes' one 'No'. I picked the 'No' one just for kicks, but the guy didn't get angry or upset, so I just picked 'Yes'. I was left to a field full of weird looking goats then.

I moved around a bit, it seemed I could heard them in my scaring them towards the barn, so I did. A few times those ungrateful bastard goats would turn red and knock me off Epona. Oh but I had the feeling it was that same fucking goat those five times! Dirty bastard!

"Knock that off!" I yelled at the TV, though I knew the goat couldn't hear me.

When I finally did get them all in, I was too busy calming down from wanting to hurt those goats so bad to even care about what Buff Dude told me, I was also busy smashing in my 'A' button, and simply left the ranch.

The screen turned blank, and another answer box came up, asking if I wanting to save. I saved the game, and pressed continue.

I sighed and sat back, putting my control beside me for a moment while it all loaded back. I grabbed Saria's, still not sure if I should call it mine, Ocarina, and held it close.

"This game is so different... Link is so different... I..wish I could be by his side once again, it's been so long since that fateful night." I said to myself, closing my eyes and thinking back on our past adventures.

I opened my eyes back quickly though, as I heard the small sound of latters scribing out on screen, through it was black.

'Es vos certus ut est quis vos votum, quis vos votum?"

I stared at the strange letters, they were unfamiliar, yet I understood them perfectly. The answer boxes came up again, but this time they read 'Etiam' and 'Haud'.

I didn't quite understand what was wrong with the game, or my eyes, simply clutched onto the small ocarina in my hands, and pressed 'A' over 'Etiam'.

A loud roar echoed through the room, scaring me stiff, though it soon died out. Just as I was slowing down my heart rate, a giant black fist burst through the darkness of the screen, and through the glass of my TV.

"Well that's nothing new.."

The fist unfolded, but re-gripped itself around me, tight enough to squeeze the air out of me.

"Oof! The Redead was kinder than you..."

I let out one shriek out of surprise, as I was pulled into the darkness of my TV.

I grew dizzy, feeling the blood rush to my head. I could only see black, but I was pretty sure I was only being shook side to side, but it did feel like I was moving. I clutched so tightly to Link's gift to me, I felt light my knuckles would pop out of my skin.

I closed my eyes for half a second, which was when I felt wind just blowing past my face so quickly. Lucky for me though, when I opened my eyes, I saw that I was just falling from about 100 feet towards a small body of water.

And oh, the landing was not soft at all. First the feeling of slamming into the water, like slamming into a brick wall, and getting the air knocked out of me, again.

I had no problem breathing under water thanks to my tunic, but I was extremely sore. I doggy paddled to a small ledge nearby and shakily pulled myself up, just laying on the short grass. The sky above me was beautiful, clear and blue, not a cloud in sight. I turned back to the water and angrily fished my cap out, placing it back on my head over my bun.

"Are you okay?" asked a voice next to me.

I turned to find a wet boy staring at me. His blue as the sky eyes filled with dark blond hair stuck around his face, dripping water down his neck.

"A bit sore, but not broken." I laughed, slowly sitting up.

He climbed up and sat next to me, "Are you sure? That was a high fall."

I looked away slightly, "So, you saw that, huh?"

He smiled softly, "Sorry, but don't worry, there aren't many people here in Ordon."

I turned to him, "Ordon? Ordon Village? Everyone saw that?!"

He nodded, "Well a hole just suddenly ripped through the sky, we were hoping for the worst, but then we saw you."

I calmed down slightly.

"Everyone thought you were a monster. My friend Rusl was going to come over, surely he might have hurt you before you could explain anything, but I insisted I come check, and you look pretty normal to me. Honestly you look like another one of my friends, Ilia, well except she's a girl."

Now that he mentioned it, he did have a sword strapped around his ba- wait what?

"Uh, okay guy, so who are you?"

"Oh, I'm Link, by the way."

"Link? You're Link?"

He nodded and smiled, "Yep, that's me."

I studied him for a while, but I couldn't believe this was him. He opened his mouth to question my strange behavior, but before he could really do so, I grabbed his left hand, and brought it to my face. The golden mark of the Triforce was clear on his skin.

"Oh my goodness. It is you..." I smiled at him.

His cheeks grew rosy and he turned away, taking his hand back.

"How do you know about this mark?" he asked, suddenly serious.

"What are you talking about, we've met before."

He turned back to me, confused, "I'm sorry but, I've never met you in my life. I don't know who you are."


Yay for chapter one! Okay, so about those words and phrases I used; Es vos certus ut est quis vos votum, quis vos votum?, Etiam, and Haud.

They are not 'backwords language' so don't try it. I've seen so many people do that, and frankly, I think it's unoriginal. I actually used Latin,

'Es vos certus ut est quis vos votum, quis vos votum?' means 'Are you sure that is what you wish, what you desire?' 'Etiam' means 'Yes' and 'Haud' mean 'No'.

Hope that clears things a bit, in case they were complicated.

Sooo, I'm trying to improve on my writing to I hope this turned out good. Second chap coming soon.
