Author's Note: A story about a girl who had the power to shrink. She originally was minish, but what happens if she stumbled with Link the hero, on a journey to save the world against a certain evil sorceress? And where did Link know her from?

I, Katherine, as part of the minish, volunteer to restore the sacred Picori Bow, and nothing shall stop me...but my death.

OK, I didn't really say it like that, I said, 'I'll do it' since my younger sister Hazel shouldn't go just because she ruined the she ruined the festival. And now, I'm on a journey with the ancient Hero of Time, who I thought was very old. He actually is kind of cute. I'll tell you the beginning.

Hazel and Katherine wee fishing in a puddle, when Hazel said that she was going to help with the festival. Katherine objected, but Hazel had already ran off. She rushed after her younger sister, knowing she might mess something up. But when she arrived...oh horror!, the festival was a bust, and everything lay in ruins. Everyone was blaming Hazel for what she did, and a riot was about to begin, when the new leader arrived.

"Picori of all ages, stop what you are doing. I shall justly punish her, by sending her to restore the Picori Bow. She shall leave in two days."

Everyone shouted that it wasn't enough, but he dismissed their ideas. I, was dreadfully frightened. Every since my dad died, and my mother passed away, I was Hazel's only member of the family left, and I didn't want to lose her. So something in my body forced the lump out of my throat, and made me speak.

"I'll do it instead of her, she is too young."

His piercing eyes looked at me, and the crowd shouted 'no'.

"Kathy dear, don't risk your life for her foolish deed, you should stay," said a Picori named Peter, who had a crush on me, "I know she is your sister, but it isn't your fault."

"Exactly!" Agreed my friend Ally

I glanced at them, but I wouldn't change my answer.

"I guess, you shall go instead of Hazel, Katherine, but take heed, it is dangerous. You shall need to get the four elements to restore it, just like the blade. But I'm sure, you shall be able to get the hero of time to help you. Come along with me, we need to get you ready."

I followed, knowing it would be stupid just to sit there, thinking of what I had just done. I would consider myself brave for sticking up for her, but for some reason I feel...afraid. I shook the feeling from me and quickened my pace.

"Katherine," the leader whispered, "are you completely sure you would like to do this?"

"I am sure of it, I couldn't let her do it...it is my responsibility to protect her from harm."

He nodded, before unlocking a room. Inside were armor, swords, lanterns, and tunics. He handed me a white tunic, satchel, shield and sword. But best of all, he handed me a small ring, which had the triforce engraved on it.

"That, shall make you the size of the humans." He said sorrowfully, "take care of yourself, and never take deadly risks...your sister...she needs you."

I nodded carefully, acknowledging that he was completely right, and that Hazel would be deeply upset and sad. I exited the door and rushed home. Upon entering my room, I grabbed my trusty leaf light satchel, and grabbed a belt. The sword wasn't very heavy, but the shield was. Finally I found a place where the shield could stay. I was a strange child, because, unlike most Picori, I have fairy wings. My grandmother was a fairy, and I believe her name was...erm... I don't remember at this time. I exited the room, and found Hazel weeping.

"It is all my fault, I should have listened to you!" She sobbed. I would have told her that it was not, but that would be a lie. Instead, I told her about the good times we had together, and that she should always keep that to her heart. That she should never forget them, and that I was leaving only because I did not want her to get hurt.

"But now you will die!" She wailed

"I might live...with luck." I mumbled, "go to sleep Hazel, when you wake up, someday I will be home."

I tucked her in bed and left.

"Ally, Peter, promise me this, you will take care of Hazel while I am gone right?" I managed to say, without breaking down.

"We promise." Ally replied, smiling sadly, "good-bye Kathy, safe journey."

"I should have said yes." Peter said in remorse.

I left the village and headed as far as I could. After 6 hours of tiring running, I decided it was time to enlarge. I put on the ring, and felt something start to buzz in my ear.

...

Maybe an hour later, I woke up. The world seemed...smaller! The place I called forest was just a patch of grass! My home's door was just a button! I

nearly yelped when someone from behind me spoke.

"Excuse me, but who are you?" A man asked. He wore a worn out work uniform, which is very similar because we Picoris are like borrowers. I started to speak, but then I realized I was speaking Minishian.

"Katherine." I managed to say. My mother had taught me some hylian.

"Well traveler, you should head to Castle Town, this place is in construction."

I nodded, before leaving, and heading in the right direction, the one I thought was mountains when I was a Picori. Now, I was heading for the journey of my life. Yes, the journey of a Minish girl.

...

Katherine arrived at Castle Town at great speed much to her surprise. She thought it would take longer, but she was no longer a Minish. She was the height of an average hylian. After turning a few bends, the market spread before her. It was very vast, and rather astonishing to her. She never knew people would push you, and shout out items that they were selling, they normally would just bargain, not shout, they would let you pass, not push. Clearly, Katherine was not used to the ways of the hylians. She stood for a moment, before someone carrying things staked high, crashed into her. The items went flying, and she realized that she had collided with a hylian boy.

"I'm sorry sir, erm, ma'am, I didn't see you." He muttered, as he quickly scrambled to get the things he had. Katherine was doing the same.

"I'm sorry, I should have moved. Not stood there like a... erm...uh..."

"Statue?" He laughed, "don't blame yourself, your not a young waiter boy."

"Could I get employment there, and perhaps a bed?" Katherine asked, fluently speaking hylian this time.

"Yes, and you can quit when you want, but I can't, it was written in my father's will, and my mother needs my wages. I must go, but if you want to get hired, you should follow me." He said, joy leaving his face, as he finished grabbing everything

"Oh, I will."

As they were walking through the busy streets, the boy said, "my name is Link, what is yours?"

"Katherine...say, would you know the hero of time."

He seemed to stumble, for he almost dropped his things again. "Hero of time... memories... why are they trying to come back?"

"You don't know the hero of time? I thought he was... popular?"

"Katherine... I think I... was the hero of time... I guess I forgot."

"Forgot?" Katherine was stunned

But she couldn't say anymore, for they arrived at Tallie's Inn, and Link's name was called. She entered the inn, and perpared to get a job for a week. Then, with the wages she had, she would set out.

Author's Note: Thanks for reading. I'm sure you were suprised that Link forgot he was the hero of time, but something happened, which I will tell you in the story later. Yeah, Link doesn't remember his whole past, and that could be a problem. Next chapter can be boring or not, so I'll try to make Katherine's employment...interesting. Don't forget to review. Spoilers would be inside my story, 'Wind Sorceress'. As I mentioned earlier, don't forget to review. Or favorite and follow! I am so happy I finally thought of writing this story after all my hard brainstorming. In case you wanted to know, she is half Picori half fairy, and also...she might get paired with Link later on. Or it might be a challenge with Zelda as well. See you later!
