Chapter 1

Hello readers, young and old. Welcome to my new story. I hope all of you guys enjoy it. I will be posting this story on Mondays and will be continuing to post my other story on Wednesdays. So let's begin.

Day 1, Month 1, Year 3

Link's POV

It had been three years exactly since Daphnes Nohanson Hyrule (The King of Red Lions) had sent us to establish a new kingdom and we still had no luck finding new lands on the Great Sea. Tetra and I had made it a tradition that on the anniversary of our searches, if hadn't found land to settle, we would drink the night away.

The sun was setting so I went to go find my captain. I looked around the ship and eventually I made it to our cabin and there she was. When I joined her crew there weren't any more empty cabins so I shared her quarters. At first it seemed inappropriate but after I had saved her from Ganondorf and made me her first mate, we had a pretty close relationship.

When I walked into the room, I saw that Tetra was one step ahead of me. She was pouring the drinks for us when I walked in and when she heard the wooden floor creaking from my footsteps, she turned to look at me and smiled.

"Can't believe it's been three years, eh Link?" I walked in and sat down

"Me neither. But tradition is tradition, so let's drink."

"Cheers." She passed me a glass of rum, sat down, we clinked our glasses and then we went bottoms up.

"This tradition kicks ass, doesn't it Tetra."

"It sure does Link. It sure does."

We sat and talked and drank for a like an hour and eventually we got drunk. Now that we were seventeen and had both been pirates for quite some time, we had built a bit of a resistance to the alcohol, but since Tetra had been doing this for much longer than I had, I always got drunk first.

"Heeey Tetra. If your the captain, w-why don't we do this...every night. I mean c-come on! This is amazing."

"If only we could. But we have a ship to run and y-you don't work good when your drunk."

"Hey dats not true. I work well."

"No you don't! Your so silly!"

"No I'm not Tetra! Don't make fun of me!" I said with a babyish voice.

The two of us started laughing. We laughed for like a minute before we continued talking. Eventually we decided that we had enough to drink and we went to sleep.

Day 2, Month 1, Year 3

Tetra's POV

When I woke up I realized that I had way to much to drink the night before. I felt so groggy and my head was pounding. I didn't want to get out of bed but I know that if I didn't, Gonzo would take over for me and I didn't like that idea. I reached over to wake up to wake up Link but I stopped myself to listen to him talk in his sleep. He would say some pretty funny things like "my bananas are in the fat" or "I'm eating old men". I would sit and giggle for like a minute just listening to him sleep talk before I would actually try to wake him up. But when I would try to wake him, he would like to curl up in a ball and ask for five more minutes.

After I got dressed and went to get breakfast, I went above deck to get the crew working and to get the ship moving. After about five minutes later, Link joined me up top. As first mate, his duties were to assist me in making sure that the crew was doing there jobs. However, he like to take advantage of his higher status among the crew and would slack off. He would sleep or work on getting a tan or do anything that wasn't what he was supposed to be doing. He was the laziest member of the crew, but he was still my first mate. Also he was the best fighter. Ever since Link joined my crew our raids have been made much easier and faster. He is also good at fighting off other boarding pirates.

I was surveying the deck to see that everyone was doing what they were supposed to be doing. As I looked, I shouted a few orders and made sure that we were heading in the right direction. I always had to make sure that we wouldn't arrive at an island we'd already been to since we were looking for a place to start the new land of Hyrule. Everything was going well up top so I decided to go below decks to check the maps.

When I reached downstairs I saw Niko mopping up from breakfast. Sometimes I feel bad that he has to do all of the cleaning and other bad jobs, but he wasn't responsible enough to be given an important task. But he was nice to talk to.

"Mornin Miss."

"Hey Niko. How ya doing?"

"I'm fine. Just doing my usual duties."

"Good work. Niko, I need to talk you something."

"Sure, I'm all ears." He put his mop down and we sat down at a table.

"Ok. As you probably know, we've been searching for new lands for three years. I'm starting to think that we may never find new lands."

"I know how you feel. But so what if we don't find new lands. You don't even like being a princess."

"I guess you're right. But I still feel this is something we must do."

"Whatever you say Miss Tetra."

"That's what I like about you Niko. You always agree with me."

"What choice do I have?"

We shared a laugh at that and then I went back above deck.

Link's POV

The day was pretty normal. The crew would be working hard keeping the ship moving, while I would sit back and relax on the upper deck. It was a good life. But it was just as I was getting comfortable when Tetra came up and started walking over to me.

"Hello lazy. I see your doing your job well." She said sarcastically.

"Thanks for noticing. Now if you excuse me, I have an appointment with a nap that starts now."

"Oh no you don't. Today you will be actually doing work."

"Awww! But Tetraaa!"

"No buts! get to work mister."

"Fine. You're no fun." I muttered

"What was that?"

"Nothing." I replied and then ran off to do my work for the day.

After a long day of actually doing something, I decided to turn in a bit early. I went below deck to the cabin and went inside. Tetra was there writing in her captains log. She does that pretty much every day in order to keep track of our progress.

"Ugh! I can't believe you made me work today!"

"I can't believe you did work! But you were very good today."

"Thanks Tets."

"Your welcome."

I went over to the bathroom to change, and when I came back, Tetra turned to look at me and she smiled.

"It's days like today that I appreciate you being around."

"Thanks but you know deep down that you always like me being around."

"Oh shut up Link."

We laughed and after that I went to sleep
