Chapter One: The Story Begins
Link and Rusl calmly sit staring at the spring after a hard day of getting wood. Rusl breaks the silence, "Tell me… do you ever feel a strange sadness as dusk falls?"
Link stared out at the spring not caring at all what Rusl said.
Rusl continued "They say it's the only time when our would intersects with theirs…the only time we can feel the lingering regrets of spirits who have left our world."
Link still stared out at the spring only this time he though something, 'What the hell is Rusl talking about?'
Rusl glances at Link "That is why loneliness always pervades the hour of twilight" there was a long silence again. "But enough talk of sadness… I have a favor to ask you Link." Link looked up at the sound of his name. "I was supposed to deliver something to the royal family of Hyrule the day after tomorrow…"
Link still stared at Rusl with a fake smile plastered on his face. He was thinking only one thing! 'That lazy son of….'
Rusl continued on as if Link had said something.
"Yes. It was a task set to me by the mayor but… would you go in my stead?"
Link stared back at the spring. 'He's trying to put his job off on me!'
"You have never been to Hyrule right?" Rusl asked.
Link again didn't get a chance to reply, and Rusl went on anyway "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." Rusl stood up. Link gave up on talking, seeing how it didn't matter anyway.
Link noticed Rusl get up some time later after their little talk. He just could not believe what just transpired. 'This guy is something else. I didn't even have to say anything and yet we had a whole conversation.'
"It is getting late… we should head back to the village. I will talk to the mayor about this matter." Rusl began to walk away.

Some time later Link is back at his tree house about to bite in to the most delicious sandwich he had ever made but was interrupted by Fado. "Hey! Link! You there?" Link was tempted to yell back a big fat 'no' but resisted the urge and came to the window.
"Hey, you mind helpin' me herd the goats?" Fado asked "They ain't listenin' to me lately!"
Link sighed "Sure!" he backed way from the window and looked longingly at his sandwich.
Link was half-way down a ladder when he heard Fado yell "Hey where's Epona?"
Link walked over to the empty space where Epona should have been. He gave another big sigh. Life was just not fair to him.
"C'mon now. Hurry on up an' bring Epona with you." With that Fado left for the farm.
Link looked at Ordon Forest and shook his head. He walked in the forest in search for his horse.
His search brought him to the Ordon spring. He saw Epona and someone standing in the spring. He went in to investigate.
It was Ilia who stole his horse. She was petting Epona's and realized Link was there. "Oh. Hi Link." She looked at the horse and then back at Link. "I washed Epona for you!"
"Er, thanks" Link walked closer and was about to grab Epona's reins when Ilia spoke up and asked, "Could you play that song Epona likes?"
"Sure" Link turned around and grabbed a funny looking piece of grass and put it to his lips and blew.
Link finally made it to the Ordon ranch. He was at the front gate and saw Fado. He rode over.
"Sorry to get you over here in such a hurry link" Fado said. "These guys have been awful skittish lately. They won't listen to a word I say. How's about you an' Epona herd 'em into the barn real quick?"
"Yeah, yeah. I got it" Link glared at the goats. 'Damn goats! I'm hungry and I want my sandwich!'
Link started herding the goats in the barn. He was 'heya' ing… (That's what is sounds like to me) and 'heya'ing… most of the goats ran for the barn, but two stubborn goats didn't head for the barn. They ran around the fenced in area. Link wasn't happy. There was one thing is his mind and that was 'SANDWICH!'. After practically running Epona straight at them the goats made it to the barn with the others.
When Link was done Fado walked over to him "Link, Epona… Much obliged to the both of y'all! I can cover everythin' tomorrow without havin' to trouble you. So just sit back an' relax bud."
Link started pulling on epona's reins but Fado asked " Oh… But, uh, how 'bout today? Wanna practice with the fences?"
Link was about to say no but Fado cut him off "Just wait a spell, bud. I'll get them fences set up" and with that, Fado left.
"no! wait I don't… whatever" link waited for his friend to return.

"Hey, wake up, Link! Its morning already!"
Link slowly rose out of bed at the sound of a kid's voice. 'I thought I could sleep in!' He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and left his tree house to meet the kids.
"Oh Link! Didja hear?" Talo yelled. The child wore a bandana on his head lopsidedly, a white tunic with a yellow sash, and a blue skirt looking thing. A very immature kid. "They're selling a slingshot at the store right now! A SLINGSHOT!"
Talo's younger brother, Malo, cut in, " I wonder how powerful it is… I… I need… I must try it…" Malo is a five-year old who thinks he is an adult. (… I can't describe what he's wearing… its to hard! Tear)
"Talo, if you and Malo want it so badly, just buy it at my parents' shop!", Beth stated frankly. She is older than the older two and has a real attitude problem.
Talo turned and looked at her, "do you see any Rupees in my hand? I can't afford that thing!" then he put on a pout "C'mon, Beth, can't you just loan it to us for a while?
Link just stood in place listening to the children fret over a slingshot. Its not like he had anything to do anyway. 'I think I want a sandwich…'
Beth put her hands on her hips and leaned forward so she could directly yell in Talo's face. "You know I'd get in trouble for that! If you two want it, save
up your allowances or something."
Link heard Malo mumble "But our allowances are terrible… Aww, I wish I was born into a family with a slingshot instead of one with a waterwheel…"
After that Link was a little interested in the slingshot. It would be fun to hit things with it. He decided he was going to go see how much it was, but first he had to check on Colin. The poor kid was a natural born outcast. Luckily for Link the kid was only a few feet away, petting Epona.
"Hey Colin"
The boy stood still and slowly looked up at Link. "Hi, Link… You have the day off work today, right?" the boy timidly said.
Link nodded
"So… I finished the fishing rod I was making. Link, I figured I'd give it to your first thing in the morning, but… My dad said, "You just wait until Link comes to get it!" so I didn't bring it to you…" the kid left it a that. He then just stared at link for a few seconds.
"That's fine. I have to go... Bye" Link slowly turned and walked away. that kid is a freak.
Link went to the village to check out the slingshot at 'Sera's Sundries one-stop shopping'. Link walked in the store to find a very depressed looking Sera. She was leaning on the counter staring at a bottle of milk. Link walked up to her, "Uh…"
"Ohhhh…" the old woman sighed
"Um… I'm here for the-" Link started.
"Awww… oh, my… It's young Link… Welcome, m'dear." the woman spoke out slowly "You… You didn't happen to see my little cat out there, did you?"
"Uh no, I just want to know how much the-" Link was cut off again.
"He ate the fish we were going to have for supper last night, and I gave him a good scolding… but then he went out and hasn't returned…"
"I want to buy-" Link was cut off for the third time.
"I'm so fraught with worry for him… I've exhausted myself…"
Link looked at the distraught woman and left the shop. If he wanted that slingshot he was going to have to get that stupid cat. Link searched all over the Village and found the cat at the creek, behind Malo and Talo's house. He went to pick up the cat but he would just run away. Link glared at the cat, trying to mentally willed it to come to him… it didn't work. He would need something to lure the cat, but what… A FISH! A fish would work. But Link couldn't fish with his hands. Link had something nagging in the back of his mind. Colin's face kept popping up. What did that kid say? He made a fishing rod!… all he had to do now was find Rusl, get the rod, lure the cat, and get a slingshot! The plan was pure genius!
Link went looking around but all he could find was Rusl's wife, Uli.
"Good morning!" Link said as he walked up to Uli.
"Oh, um, good morning to you." Uli said. "If your are looking for my husband, he took his sword and left early this morning"
"Oh, ok" link turned to walk away but stop as he heard Uli's voice.
"But I must ask, Link, you haven't seen a cradle come floating by here, have you? It is a baby's cradle made of finely woven tree bark."
"No, I'm sorry I haven't" Link said sadly
"Oh, such a misfortune. How far could it have drifted, I wonder…"
Link left to go rethink his plan.
Link walked by a big pillar of rock. " Yo, Link Yo! Up here! I wanna talk to you!"
Link looked up. "Hello!?"
"Hey, there your go! Over here! Yeah! Your voice carries well, as usual! So listen, why don't your climb up those vines there, Link?" the voice on top of the pillar turned out to be Jaggle.
Link looked at the vines and climbed to the top. "Hi" he said slothfully.
" Yo, there you are! Check this out." Jaggle pointed to the cat behind his house "You know Sear, at the general store? Well, isn't that her cat over there? He's just been sitting there next to my house, having a staring contest with the creek. You don't suppose he's thinking he's gonna catch a fish, do you? Ha ha ha! A cat can't catch no fish!"
"Cats can catch fish" Link said. 'I don't have time for this!'
"Anyway, that's not what I was meaning to tell your about, I want you to take a look at something…" Jaggle turned his head towards a another rock. "See that grass growing there on the edge of that rock? Haven't I seen you whistling with that stuff? I figured it was pretty rare to see it growing in a place like that, so I thought I'd let you know."
Link looked at the grass remembering all the fun he had. Like the time he got a hawk to attack Fado, and the other time he attack the kids with it. Great times…
Link jumped to the other rock and picked the strange plant. He put it to his lips and blew. a hawk came flying down and landed on links arm. Link looked around to see who or what would be his next victim. Now who would it be? Link spotted a beehive. And underneath the beehive was Hanch. Perfect. The bird launched off Link's arm and hit the beehive head on. The beehive shook and fell near Hanch, who soon realized the bee's were after him. Link almost fell into the creek laughing.
After Link calmed down, he gazed out at another rock and saw more of the 'hawk grass'. he hoped on Sera's shop roof and on to the other rocks, picked the grass and looked for his next target. He looked out and saw a monkey… with a cradle? Why would a monkey need a cradle? Wait! That was Uli's cradle. Link launched the bird off, the hawk swooped in and swiped the cradle from the monkey and brought it back to Link. Now all he had to do was get it to Uli. He hopped all the rocks and ran straight to the pregnant woman. Uli turned to Link as he ran up to her. " Oh! Link! That cradle! Did you go to the trouble of finding it for me? My thanks to you!"
Link smiled. "Aww, it was nothing!"
"Oh, that reminds me! There is something I'm supposed to give to you. Do you think you could carry that cradle and come with me back to my house?"
"Sure" Link followed Uli to her home.
"My thanks to you, link." the mother to be said as she reached her porch.
"Your welcome. So about that thing you where supposed to give me?" in the back of Link's mind he was hoping the thing she was supposed to give was that fishing rod.
"Yes, yes… I had nearly forgotten. I'm supposed to give you this" she gets a fishing rod from the porch and hands it to Link. "All right. Here you go!"
Link beamed at the rod. Finally! He could go get a slingshot!
"It is a little… unpolished. My son, Colin, made this under the instruction of his father. You can use it if you like." Uli said as she sat down on the porch.
"Thanks!" Link ran off to catch a fish.
Link was now in front of Sera's store. He didn't exactly lure the cat to the store. After he had caught a fish the cat stole it and ran back to the store. So maybe Sera wouldn't be too worried to sell him the slingshot. Link went in and heard Sera proclaim "Oh, my, Link! You simply MUST hear this!" the old crony looked to her cat, that was licking up some cream on the counter. "Just take a look! My little kitty came back! And he brought a fish back with him. He was worried about me being angry! Ohhhh, just look" the old woman stared at her cat with love in her eyes. "Isn't he so cute, the way he laps up that milk? Say, m'dear, why don't you have some, too! I'm in a good mood, so it's on the house today!" she handed Link the bottle of milk.
"Um, thanks" Link stuffed the bottle away and got down to business. "About that slingshot"
"The slingshot is 30 rupees. Do you want to buy it, m'dear?" Sera backed away from the counter and grabbed the slingshot.
"I'll buy it!" Link stated
Sera looked at Link oddly. "What are you doing buying a slingshot, you naughty thing? You're too old for toys! Will you at least let the kids play with it?"
"Yes, yes" Link paid her and left
As Link was walking to his house and saw Rusl.
"Ah, just in time, Link! I just delivered something to your room!"
"Oh ok" I need to lock my door. Link pulled out his new fishing rod. "Uh, thanks for this."
"Oh, I see you got the fishing rod. Colin will be pleased, and it works better than you would think, right?" Rusl said.
"Yeah it does" Link smiled.
"Well, have a good one" Rusl started walking to his home.
"You too!" Link turned and started to his own home.
Linked walked in his home and found a wooden sword. He gleamed at the piece of wood, thinking of all the things he could do with it. Beat children, or maybe some cucco. He put the wooden sword down on his table and headed for the kitchen.
"Time for lunch!"
