Chapter 1: Why are we here?

The date: September 24th, 2011. The place: BC, Canada.

? POV:

Darkness, darkness and bliss. I was enjoying the delightful sensation known as sleep, which apparently I did too much of. My excuse was that I was only 13 and that 13 year olds do sleep a lot. Begrudgingly I opened my bleary eyes. My room was the same as I had left it, like the aftermath of a bomb. Another thing that was common with most teens.

Of course I had to rush out of bed, pull on some clothes, and run into the kitchen for some food. Yeah, pretty boring, but I guess there isn't much to do anyway. That's why I had to have my escape. No, not drugs, video games. Tons of them. I'd play as soon as I got home from school until about 10pm, then I was sent, protesting, to sleep. To me, this left a lot to be desired, and still gives me this burning question. Why are we here?

Normal POV:

The aforementioned 13 year old walked out of his front door to begin the long grind of school day. The boy was wearing a red shirt and jeans, what he usually wore. His hair was uncontrollable, and if you cut it, it just grew back in about a week. The boy's name is Matthew, which happens to be a common name at his school. Matthew slowly walked down the road to his school, but before he reached it, something in the bush caught his eye. He jogged over to it and looked closer. It was a purple gem, about the size of both of his fists stacked on top of each other. Before he could examine it more, he heard a bashing noise.

The confused teenager spun around and saw a floating ball of orange light. Matthew, being the regular teen, swore and ran the other way.

Matt was running deeper into the bush, but unfortunately, he ran smack dab into a tree.

Matt's POV:

"Oh crap, oh crap" was all I could say. That thing was definitely not normal. I turned to look at it and…. Ran into a tree. Oh you have to shitting me. "A tree? A fricking tree" I yelled. The orange light sped directly above me and did the most surprising thing of all time. It talked.

"Hey, why did you do that?" The... thing... asked.

"Ah, get away from me!" was my only response, because this was pretty creepy.

"I'm not gonna hurt you, so calm down" Said the 'thing.'

"My name is Verania, I'm a fairy"

My jaw hit the floor, well not literally but you get the picture.

"A, f-f-fairy?" I stuttered "You mean like, magic wand and fairy dust?"

Verania floated up to my face "Magic wand? And what do you mean, 'fairy dust?"

Now that was confusing.

Normal POV:

The fairy hovered in front of a very confused boy.

"Listen well" Verania commanded. "My home country, Hyrule, is in danger. The courage wielder is gone, and we need help."

"Why me then?" replied Matthew.

"Why not you, I've been watching around here for a while and found that you are the only one that's up to such a task." The fairy answered.

"Well, then let's get to it."

A shining blue portal opened up and a faint "Wait, what!" could be heard as Matthew fell through it.

Hyrule field

Matthew stomped out of Lake Hylia.

"Out of all the places, why a bloody lake? WHY!"

Verania popped out of an unknown article of Matt's clothing.

"Well, at least it wasn't on the top of a mountain." She remarked.

"WHERE THE HELL DID YOU JUST COME OUT OF?" Matthew yelled, very creeped out now.

Matthew's POV:

Well, shit. That is the only word to describe my day. I shouldn't have gotten out of bed. In the space of half an hour I had found a precious gem, been chased through the woods by a fairy, been told by said fairy that I had to save her country, and then I was teleported into a freaking LAKE! This was not good. But at least it wasn't boring. I sighed; this was probably going to happen again.

"Okay, I'm going to get a hat, you can hide in there." I told Verania, who had just told me how interesting the inside of my shirt was.

"Where should I go now?" I asked, because I was lost as hell.

"You need to get a sword of course, and a shield" The fairy face palmed.

I got up from his comfortably spot on the grass, stretched, and started walking in a random direction.

"Hey, listen!" I was smacked in the back of the head and turned to see Verania who was moving in the direction of a large castle.

"Of course."

Normal POV:

The fairy and the boy walked, or rather on walked and the other hovered, towards Hyrule castle town. Matt looked up to see that the sun was slowly moving below the horizon.

"Should I expect anything different?" He muttered, eliciting a "What?" from Verania.

But soon she too noticed the waning daylight and began to speed up.

"Come on, the gates close at dusk!" She shouted, and Matthew began to sprint. The duo just managed to make it to the gate in time.

"Well, that was exhilarating" gasped Matthew, who was not in the best of shape.

"Hey, deal with it, we're here now" snapped Verania.

"Whoop-de-doo" The teen muttered in reply. Matthew suddenly looked up and began running down the street, Verania followed and saw that he was staring at a red and blue shield in the window Malo Mart.

"It shines… I want it..." Matthew stared intently at the sign, as if he was trying to will it to appear in his hand.

"Well you can't get it, it's the priciest item there" Verania sighed, she liked the shield too.

"Whatever, let's find a hotel to stay at" Matthew said in a sudden change of mood. The two looked for around an hour and found a small hotel'ish place by the name of "Jim 'n' Johns." Matthew walked in, and dropped the gem he had found before on the counter.

"Gimme a room for the night" he groaned tiredly. The barman took the purple gem and then returned with a red one and a yellow one.

"Upstairs to yer left, and mind the older patrons" He barked.

"Thanks" spoke Verania as Matt dragged himself up the stairs. Up in the rented room, Matthew had fallen asleep instantly. Unbeknownst to him, a golden triangle glowed faintly on the back of his left hand.
