"Ad Idem

Ad infinitum

In memoriam

Cor Unum

Vi et armis

Valet…"

Natalya sang as she walked through the Faron woods. Her voice was light and rung about the trees. She was different. She stood tall above most Hylians and had unusually pale skin, longer ears too. Her hair was a deep black that tinted blue in the light, going down to her waist. She always wore it in a tall ponytail save for her bangs. Her eyes were strangely colored, a bright blue tinting gold. Her back fully bore a mark of angelic wings… She wasn't accepted as the regular Hylian. She would converse with them but could feel the awkward tension. She knew they were just being kind but were weary because it was obvious she wasn't one of them.

She felt it a lost effort to make them know she isn't dangerous, besides, how could they know? She was sure even the Sheikah that she knew and was accepted by probably couldn't convince them. She couldn't ask such a favor either way. The most she ever did with the Hylian's now was read any book she could from them. She found more comfort in the little forest creatures. She greatly enjoyed her walks, knowing the vast forest as well as her own home. Catching bugs and maybe going for a nice swim were the most fun she thought she could have.

She wasn't alone. She lived in a cabin there in the woods with a girl named Selena who was like her, different, and they looked after each other like they were sisters.

It's getting late, I should start heading home or Selena'll-

Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard several screeches behind her.

Instinctively she pulled out the sword and shield that Selena gave to her when she was younger.

SLASH!

She decapitated a Bokoblin and blood spurted everywhere. Others began to surround her as they got closer.

STAB!

She stuck another straight through the heart, twisted the blade, then pulled it out while trying to defend herself from the others with her shield. She counted the enemies; there were at most ten. She went to stab another one, but a Bokoblin that had snuck up from behind bashed her arm with a club, knocking her to the ground.

Great, she thought. That's gonna leave a mark.

She looked at her arm quickly and saw blood, but decided to worry about it later instead of freaking out about it now. She dropped the shield and fought with the sword in her other hand, using different moves so as to avoid being hit again, and managed to kill a couple more. It didn't work for long though, a strong pain shot through her arm as she noticed it was hit again. Tears brimmed her eyes and she noted it best to run. She sheathed her sword then picked up her shield and took off as quickly as she could.

"That's odd," she thought aloud, "The most Bokoblins I've ever seen together is five or less…"

She heard more screeching and turned her head to see even more than there was before.

"What the hell is going on!?" she exclaimed as she thought of a place to hide, knowing of a large tree in the middle of the woods. There were a few Bokoblins inside, she knew, but it would keep her from these ones since the only way inside the tree is to teleport, swim, or fly. Knowing Bokoblins couldn't do any of those three things, she internally thanked the Goddess and RAN!

She then could have sworn she heard a very faint snap! There was then a chiming sound and everything went quiet, save for the light buzzing of stag beetles. She stopped, and then slowly turned to see nothing there. The Bokoblins were all gone—that entire horde.

Then she heard a chuckle that echoed all around and she couldn't pinpoint a source. She looked around, then felt a presence behind her, and she turned before it got too close, seeing a man with dark brown eyes and white hair that covered the left half of his face. There was a purple diamond on his left cheek, mostly hidden by his hair, colored the same as the thick purple line under his eyes. He was dressed in diamond attire with a cloak, red on the outside and purple and yellow diamonds along the inside. He had a light beige tone to his skin and two pointed ears. The pointed ears didn't really phase her but she felt as if she had seen him before, but brushed away the thought when he spoke.

"Now, what's a simple girl doing out in the open, where so many monsters created by my master could murder her?" he asked in a way that scared Natalya a bit, but she didn't show it. She currently contemplated whether or not it was a good time to say a smart remark.

"Just going for a simple walk, that's all. It was a little surprising to see so many monsters though," she answered. "Did you do that?" She gestured to where the Bokoblins had been just a minute ago.

"Yes, I did." He answered simply.

"That's interesting. Now, what's a 'simple girl' like you doing with such an awful master?" She asked, giving him her best smile. She knew he was male; it was easy to tell he was by his bone structure and deep tone of voice. She mentally scolded herself for knowing yet still teasing the man for his somewhat feminine appearance. All when she didn't even know what his powers included, besides getting rid of monsters with just a snap of the fingers. Probably creating them in the first place.

She could tell he wasn't human, probably demon by process of elimination and his level of magic power. Possibly a higher rank? Yet he DID save her, but it was possible he put her in danger in the first place. She remembered reading a book on demons, that why she could make these assumptions. She was trying to decide if he was good or bad. She noticed a look of anger on his face and before she knew it there was a rapier pressed against her neck.

"I am not female, I am male, and my master is not to be spoken of in that way, do I make myself clear?" he asked.

Ok, bad, definitely BAD! She thought, simply standing there wide-eyed and nodding like an idiot. The sword disappeared into a bunch of diamonds.

"Good." He stated.

"Ok, now why did you save me?" she asked. He pulled his lips up into an evil smirk. Well that can't be good... She thought.

"Well, first I must apologize for being so ill-mannered, for I haven't yet formally introduced myself. I am the soon-to-be Demon Lord of the Surface and current Lord of Arcadia. You may call me Ghirahim, though I prefer to be indulged with my full title, Lord Ghirahim, but I'm not fussy." he introduced.

Oh great, perfect actually...a freaking demon LORD to my rescue. This can't be good, especially with the whole soon-to-be-Demon-Lord-of-the-Surface thing, she thought.

"Now what's your name—it's only fair you tell me yours, also a fair sign of respect." he said.

Ok, new name, think, think, think...

She stood up and gathered herself. Standing at a height near his. "Kyra," she said after a moment. She was surprised by how quickly the name came to her; she doesn't even know anyone of the name.

"Kyra," he repeated. "Means 'ruler.'" He stated, seemingly knowing the name.

She loved the name even more now, and was proud of herself for picking a cool name she didn't even know existed.

"Yeah, now I believe I asked you a question which you haven't yet answered, quote: 'now why did you save me?' unquote. It's only respectful." she mocked, kind of annoyed. His smirk grew bigger.

Goddess can he just get to the point?

"Tell me, child, do the Hylians take you as an outcast?" he asked.

Ok...random, but no harm in answering, right? She pointed her sword at his neck, stood up straight, and said, "First of all, I am not a child, I am a teenager, do I make myself clear?" She mimicked him, she really needed to stop that. He lightly laughed, looked her in the eye, and said,

"Yes. Crystal." She lowered her sword and he continued, "Now, you still haven't answered MY question, quote: 'do the Hylians take you as an outcast?' unquote." He was now mimicking her, which made her smile, but the smile soon faded.

"A little, they will speak, but it's only awkward as they don't trust me." She said quietly. "Now, are you or are you not going to answer my question?"

"But of course I will answer your question," he said, looking more evil by the second. She could have sworn the purple under his eyes got darker. "Your answer is..." he put a hand on her shoulder, which made her flinch a bit but she kept her ground, still angry, but calming herself. "...I thought you would make a good slave for my master." Before she had time to move or even think he snapped his fingers and they were somewhere completely different.

OoooooooooooooooO

So tell me what you think! good, bad, should I continue? Please reveiw! I compliment and fully welcome criticism.

P.S the song she was singing was Laruto's Lament^^ A little suggestion given by a lovely fan of the original story.

Also, in my description of Ghirahim, we all know Ghira has one pointed ear, but I said two. Remember this takes place in the past so could this be… *gasps*… foreshadowing an event? Fufufu, you will find out as you read on and I type on^^
