Chapter 1: Prologue
Rain pelted the windows of Hyrule Castle, the water cascading over the tall blue spires of the immense building like waterfalls. Thunder rumbled in the black clouds and lightning threatened to set the entire structure on fire, but most of the servants who worked there didn't seem to notice. They all seemed much too busy. They were all running through the halls at top speed, most carrying things. No one even took a glance at the sky. That is, no one except a short, brown-eyed girl with a basket held in front of her. In fact, she wasn't just glancing at the storm, she was staring at the storm with a frown on her face. She didn't like the looks of it. There had been a lot of these lately, most of them occurring out of practically nowhere.
"I think it's another one of those creepy Snowpeak thunderstorms. What about you, Ada?"
The girl turned. The one who had addressed her as "Ada" was a very tall blonde woman with green-blue eyes. The brown-eyed girl regarded the woman for a moment before saying, "I think…that we had better keep an eye on the weather. That last stroke of lightning nearly set Zelda's tower aflame." The woman blinked. "I suppose you're right. But what are you doing watching the weather? You're supposed to be helping us bring dirty laundry to the washroom."
"I'm doing something much more important, so I'm afraid dirty laundry will have to wait."
The blonde haired lady frowned. "What exactly are you doing?" The girl shrugged and answered, "I'm watching for a fire." The lady sighed and situated the basket she was carrying more comfortably on her waist and picked up the girl's. "Fine, then," she said, "I'll carry yours too, but just this once!" and walked away. "I'll be seeing you, Ada."
The brown-eyed girl turned her attention back to the window, leaning on a pillar. "It's not Ada," she thought, "It's Adelle." But Adelle soon abandoned this thought and stared at the darkened sky, her mind wandering off to thoughts of the stories her father used to tell her, of stories about the boy who could control time and weather.
