This is the start of a story I'm working on concurrently with my own original fictional book. Since this is the first story I'm publishing, feedback would be helpful. I'll try to update regularly since I have written at least the first two chapters after this.

I don't own the Legend of Zelda series that inspired this fanfiction.

Prologue

Midna sat on a branch crying. Over the past few days, her life underwent a series of spirals until she had come to where she was now. Her kingdom and power had been taken from her, her love had been stolen, and she was reverted to this hideous imp. When Zant had confronted her, Midna didn't know he had the power to steal all she had from her, but when it had happened, she hadn't lost hope. Until now, she had thought there was a chance to save everything.

As she sat there pitying herself, Midna became aware of something going on near the forest entrance. She crept as close as she dared, but couldn't see much. She watched as a small struggle ensued before a bright flash of light and a scream. After a few seconds, a shadow being grabbed hold of a beast's leg and began dragging it past her.

She ducked behind the tree trunk and watched as the divine beast was pulled past her. She wiped at her eyes as her heart rekindled a spark of hope for her people.
