Din. Nayru. Farore. Acromare (Ack-oh-maire). Eternae (eh-tern-ay). Desmeises (Dehs-me-seas). Ava. Also known as, Goddess of Fire and Power, Goddess of Water and Wisdom, Goddess of Earth and Courage, God of Wind and Gentleness, Goddess of Spirit and Eternity, God of Shadow and Emotion, and Goddess of Time and Space. Hyrule was created at the hand of these Gods and Goddesses, they are the roots of Hyrule, but they left this world, leaving my ancestors with the wealthy land of Hyrule. Every year, they bless us with our crops and animals, and every year, we have a week long town celebration to celebrate their generosity, and on the final hour of the final day, we sing our blessings.

It was a few hours before the Blessed Hour…

It was my 6th Blessed Hour, and I was wearing my Blessed dress, blue silk that spiraled around my shoulders and down my arms. A pink ribbon tied around my waist and a pink ribbon held back my auburn ringlets. My father was playing the wind flute and my mother played the violin, and me and my brother, Krone (crohn-ee), danced around the room. My brother's blonde bangs dangled in front of his eyes once the song had ended, he shook his head and they returned to their original place, swooped to the side. Krone was fourteen years old, eight years older then me.

He smiled at me and picked me up in his arms, and spun me around. I laughed as we spun around, after we had stopped, Krone placed me back on my feet, and after a few dizzy stumbles, Krone pulled over a chair and tapped on it, "Come, Anjin (Ahn-jeen), sing to us the Hyrule Ballad." I ran over to my brother, and he lifted me up to the chair. Mother started weaving her bow across the violin's strings, and father played harmony on his wind flute. I fixed my dress and took a deep breath,

"Wind blow gently over the waves,

Shape the land to way you choose.

Water roar at the cliffs edge,

Bend it to your will.

Earth move slowly,

Making mountains tall and ravines deep.

Spirits stay near when we need you,

Don't be afraid to call out our name.

Shadows follow and play,

Shadows though do not speak.

Time stay happily present,

Don't speed away from my touch.

And, fire, passion burn within me,

Help me shape the land I dream of.

Hyrule…."

My brother and parents clapped as I took a bow, Krone smiled big, "Anjin, how do you do it, how do you sing so well?" I jumped down from the chair and tackled my brother playfully, "That's for me to know and you to find out!" Krone and I playfully wrestled for a little while, until we were called to the table for dinner. Mother had made a delicious turkey-pie, and I was anxious to eat it, who knew I would never get one bite of that pie, or even get to taste it again.

There was a loud CRACK! Then the entire town went into hysteria, screams burst out from homes, sounds of fire and houses crashing down filled my ears. I stood up and ran over to my father, mother, and brother. Through the small window next to the front door, I could see flames and people running with people close on their tails.

The door began to rumble, fists were pounding on it. My father pushed us behind him, I held onto my mother and brother shivering with fear. The door then burst open, a woman with dark tanned skin ran in. She had bright red hair in a high pony-tail; she wore green Arabian-styled clothing, with a gold veil across her nose and mouth, her gold eyes pierced into my soul. She made some kind of whooping noise, "SHE'S HERE! I can sense the power." Two other woman dressed exactly like her, except in purple, joined her. They began to walk towards us, long spears pointed straight at us, my father stepped forward, "You're Gerudos! You work for Ganondorf! Stay away from my family!"

The leader laughed, "Like you can win?" She snapped her fingers, the Gerudo to her right jumped up and kicked father, and the other Gerudo kicked father from the back. The leader then stabbed her spear right through his stomach, and he fell to the ground with a shallow breath. The leader pulled her spear from my father's stomach. My mother screamed, she let go of me and ran toward father, the leader punched my mother, and the other two gutted her through the stomach. Krone and I began to cry, Krone then grabbed the sword that hung on the wall above the fireplace.

The leader laughed once again, "This should be fun!" They all lurched at my brother; Krone blocked them with his sword. Krone put up a courageous fight, but in the end, the leader stabbed Krone through the stomach. At first he looked down to see the blood on his hand, he fell to his knee, then to his side. I began to hyperventilate, "NOOOO! KRONE!" I ran to his side, Krone was barely breathing, blood ran down his lip. He smiled at me and raised a bloody hand to my face, "A-A-A-Anjin, I-I-I-" His hand fell from my face, and his face fell to the side. I looked down at my hands which rested in his blood; I raised them and looked at the scarlet soaked into my skin. I began to cry harder, and grabbed my head, rocking back and forth in the fetal position.

The leader came and grabbed me by my blood-stained pony-tail, and dragged me out of my house. I screamed in terror and shock, she tied my hands behind my back as I screamed hysterically, she then gagged me. I turned my head to see my town totally engulfed in flames. I screamed, I screamed as loud as I could. The leader came up to me shaking her head, quickly said, "SHUT UP!" and punched me, knocking me out cold.

I woke with a dry throat and tongue. I coughed a few times, and then opened my eyes. The walls were made of sand-stone, the ground was sand and it was hot, really hot. The sun streamed in through a high window, and there was a hollow door in the corner with a blue blanket draped in it. I sat up; I was laying in a feather bed with blue sheets and the Gerudo Tribe symbol sewn onto it. I then remembered what happened last night. Mother. Father. Krone.

I looked down to my hands expecting them to be scarlet with Krone's blood, except they were clean. There was a mirror in the corner, so I jumped out of the bed and ran over to look at myself. My hair was pulled back into a high pony-tail, and my hair was not stained with blood. I ran my hands through the pony-tail, then down onto my silk clothing. I had a red and gold harem top and red harem pants with a fire design curling up my leg. And around my neck was a gold necklace.

"Wh-What is going on? I should be dead!" I ran through the drapery of the door, stumbling and tripping. In the hall there were fifteen Gerudos dressed in purple harem pants and tops. I screamed and ran down the hall way as fast as I could. I finally stumbled into a empty hallway, I stopped to catch my breath. I heard a light whisper, "Anjin, come to me…" And I followed the whisper as if I was in a trance. I came to a dark room, where a dark man with blazing red hair stood. I bowed to one knee, What am I doing.

"Anjin, you have a power within you, a power only you or the gods can have. You are the Fire Maiden, protector of fire and Din's memories. I want you to prove to me that you can control fire…" I stood up, and snapped, the curtain next to him incinerated in flames. I was angry, "YOU KILLED MY FAMILY!" The sinister man smiled, "The Gerudos are your family now… I will train you Anjin, train you to use your power to get what you want. You will be my key to control HYRULE!" My eyes widened and I gasped, "NO!"
