A/N: Hello, readers! Thanks for choosing to read this! I figured since I've been writing on here for about two years now, I thought it would be nice to make a Christmas Special this year. I kind of wanted to make a Steven Universe one, since it was the first community I posted in. It was suppose to be about Pearl and her missing Rose, but I can't figure out where to take the idea and how the ending should be.

Luckily, I got another idea for the Zelda community. I'm just another writer wanting to be a part of the Christmas Specials that are going to be on the site soon.

Anyway, please enjoy and happy reading!

Four Swords: Hyrule's Snowfall

…

December had finally descended upon the kingdom of Hyrule. The days were slowly getting colder. Many were excited for snow very soon, and that special day that was known to all. Yet, an eerie feeling was lingering on the heroes and the princess, Zelda.

And this was the reason…

…

The four Links backed away from a shadow.

"You…"

A blizzard blew a across a field. A girl turned around with her eyes lit with color of light blue.

"Didn't do…"

Everything turned white.

"ANYTHING!"

"Green!" yelled a voice. "GREEN!"

Green was awakened by Red, who frantically shaking him. What was strange was that the shaking continued even after he stopped. Then it hit him…

"EARTHQUAKE!" Green yelled. He grabbed ahold of Red by his arm and dragged him to a safe spot under the doorway to their bedroom. Blue and Vio, awakened by Green's voice took refuge under a nearby desk.

Red shivered in fear as the room continued to shake and held onto Green for comfort.

"We'll be okay, Red," Green said, trying to sound reassuring.

Stuff fell from the tables and books came out of the shelves. Eventually, it calmed down and all the shaking stopped.

"...Is it over?" Blue said, peeking out from under the table.

"I suppose so…" Vio said, rising to his feet. He began to pick up the books that fell.

Red was shaken up by the quake, so Green guided him back to his bed.

"Man, that's the third time this week!" Blue said, irritably.

"Yeah…" Green said, trying not to sound worried. "And they've been getting stronger, too…"

As the boys began to settle down, a guard entered the room.

"Are you boys, alright?" he said.

"Yes, we're fine," Green responded.

"That's good," said the guard. "The princess is requesting your presence immediately."

"What?!" said Blue. "At this time of night?!"

"Blue, c'mon!" said Green. "It's the princess! We can't keep her waiting."

"Fine!" Blue pouted. "Let's just hurry up."

The four Links got dressed quickly and headed down to the throne room. The princess was already sitting in her throne, waiting for them. She was kind of slouching, with her head leaning on one of her hands. Maybe she was tired like anyone else would be if they were woken up super early.

"Zelda we're here!" Green said, suddenly full of energy once in Zelda's presence.

"Huh?" Zelda said, suddenly growing alert to the four Links. "Oh! H-Hey! Sorry…"

"Is something the matter, Princess?" said Vio.

"N-No…" said Zelda. "I just have… a bit of a headache…"

"A headache?" said Blue.

"That's… That's not important…" Zelda said, sitting up. "This isn't why I called you four here."

"Of course," said Green. "How can we help you?"

"Well… I was going to tell you in the morning, but the recent quake has me quite worried," said Zelda. "I know we've had a lot or earthquakes lately, but I received a report that Death Mountain has gotten worst of the quakes."

"Seriously?" said Green.

"Oh no!" said Red.

"That's probably where the epicenter of the earthquake is," said Vio.

"But only Gorons live up there," said Blue. "Falling rocks is like rain to them."

"It's not the Gorons I'm worried about, Blue," said Zelda. "I know they can survive in lava and rocks are nothing to them, but I fear there is something on Death Mountain that's causing this. While it is an active volcano, it has a slow, steady eruption, allowing Gorons to be able to control it, but I fear that at this rate, there could be violent eruption if we have another earthquake… and I don't think it's being caused by nature…"

"You think something could be in the Fire Temple?" said Vio.

"Gotta be," said Green. "Don't worry, Zelda. We'll go up to Death Mountain and investigate."

"Well, I wanted to wait until your father returned so I could ask for his permission," said Zelda.

"Zelda, you're the princess," said Green. "What you say is an order. Besides, if we defeated Vaati, I'm sure we can defeat whatever's on Death Mountain."

"But, Green," said Red. "What about Father?"

"Red! This is an order from Princess Zelda herself!" said Green. "We have to do this! Is that all, Princess?"

"Oh… I guess so…" said Zelda. "I'll have a letter ready for you, so the guards in Kakariko Village let you go on the path to Death Mountain. But Green, I really think you should wait for your father before you go and leap into danger."

"Relax, Zelda," said Green. "I've done this before without asking him. It'll was fine. Now, good-night, Zelda. Get some sleep."

Green dashed off and the others began to follow.

"But that's not…" Zelda said, before her voice trailed off.

"Don't worry, Princess," said Vio. "I'll talk to him."

Zelda watched them go. She rubbed her temples again in annoyance of the headache. At first she thought is was just the lack of sleep or too much work… but when Green brought up Vaati, it sent chills down her spine… She knew this feeling… Recalled the darkness that surrounded her when she was once in the clutches of that wind mage.

No! Zelda thought. She would worry about that later. It was late, and the princess desired some rest.

Meanwhile, Red was busy telling Green why they shouldn't go to Death Mountain at the moment.

"Green, we promised Father we wouldn't worry him again!" said Red. "He flipped out when he thought Vaati killed us. And remember when-"

"Red, would you stop worrying?" said Blue. "It's nothing we can't handle!"

"Uh, I kinda have to agree with Red on this one," said Vio. "I think we should wait for Father to return."

"We don't have time to wait," said Green. "If there's another quake, the volcano could erupt and who knows what could happen to Kakariko Village, which as the bottom of the mountain!"

Vio fell silent.

"C'mon!" said Green. "It'll be fine. In and out, and we'll be back at the castle before Father even knows what happened."

"Green, that's not the point!" said Vio. "It'll be like before we were four. We would go off and fight bandits without calling for the help of the other Noble Knights."

"Yeah, but… This time I have you guys," said Green. He laid down on his bed and began to drift off.

Vio let out a sigh. While Green's complement was somewhat flattering, he was hopeless to argue with. Blue had already gone to sleep, too. Red was sitting down on his bed, staring at Vio.

"...Why does it always take you to get them to listen…?" said Red.

"Red, don't say that," said Red. "Just wait. Green will learn his lesson when Father is angry at him after this."

Vio went to bed and Red, as well. His words were reassuring to Red.

But that wasn't his point…

…

The next day, the four Links set out to Kakariko Village. Green showed the guards there the letter Zelda wrote for them and they were able to get onto the mountain. They were advised to be careful because of the earthquakes.

The last time the four Links were here, they had defeated one of Vaati's powerful minions in the Fire Sanctuary. So, that was where they went.

As they entered the temple, they saw that pretty much nothing had changed from the last time they were here. In fact, it seemed like dust was beginning to settle on many things, but they pressed forward with caution. The heat, while annoying, was also familiar to them.

"Helloooo…" Blue voice echoed throughout the temple. "Is there some kind of evil that's out to, like, destroy the world or something…? Helloooo…"

"Well, if it is, it's not going to answer to that!" said Green.

Eventually, they made it to where they had fought the two giant Dodongos that kept one of the maidens imprisoned… but there was still nothing.

"See anything yet?" Green said, as the others looked around.

"No…" said Red.

"Nope…" said Blue.

"Nothing…" said Vio.

"Can we hurry up?" said Blue. "It's getting hot in here…"

"I don't get it!" said Green. "What could be causing these unnatural quakes?!"

"Maybe Zelda's wrong about this one," said Blue.

"Princess Zelda's premonitions are never wrong!" said Vio.

Red wandered off and investigated the walls, while the others bickered about whether Zelda was correct or not. When he looked close enough he could make out some drawings. Once on the other side of the room, he could make out a drawing that resemble the Wind Mage, Vaati. An assortment of many monsters were also on it and on the center was the thing that Red remembered from when the mage took that monstrous form: An eye.

Surprisingly enough, when Red laid his hand on it, it turned out to be some kind of button. The mural of drawings before him began to move, revealing itself to be a door. It shook the temple as it began to move aside.

"Guys, look!" Red yelled, excited at his discovery.

Suddenly, as the temple rumbled, another earthquake started in the moment. Red lost his balance and fell down the hidden path. Rocks started coming down and Red could hear the others yelling for him before it all went dark.

"...Help me…" said a voice. "Please! Help me…"

Red's body ached as he came around. Wherever he was, was dim. Only two torches illuminated the area. Scraps and bruises covered the boy.

At first he wondered what happened, but the wall of rocks blocking his way back answered that for him. He tried clearing them away, but he knew it was pointless.

"Green?!" Red called. "Blue?! Vio?!"

There was no answer. Red backed away, beginning to panic. How was he going to get out of here? He leaned against the wall and sat back down, beginning to cry.

"P… Please…"

Red gasped at the sound of the voice. He thought it was just in his dream. He saw the path ahead of him.

"Help…"

Red brought himself to stand once more. He headed down the path, since he had nowhere else to go.

"H-Hello?" Red called out towards the voice. His hands were held close to him.

The light grew brighter once he entered a new room. It was illuminated by lava pools that were on the sides of the room. A stone path laid ahead of him and the symbol of Vaati - being his eye in monster form - stood in the center.

Up ahead was a red glowing orb. Upon a closer look, Red saw it was a staff, enshrined into a glittering stone on in the wall.

Red could see something inside. He pressed his hands against the crystal. It was the figure of a girl suspended in a deep sleep. Then he backed away. The crystal was surprisingly hot.

"Please!" the voice grew more and more desperate. "I… I am trapped! Help me! Please!"

"You're… the girl?" Red said, shyly.

"Y… Yes," the voice responded. "The… The staff… It keeps me… stuck here… I… I beg of you…" She sounded on the verge of tears.

The sadness in the voice brought Red to verge of tears, as well. Could this girl have been imprisoned by Vaati like Zelda and the maidens were? Red thought. He could only imagine what it was like. Trapped. Having no hero to save her unlike Zelda...

Red approached the staff and placed his hands on the handle. He suddenly back away and fell down from the touch. Like the crystal, it was burning hot. The boy held his hands close to him, trying to hold back tears, but it wasn't working.

He stared at the girl in the crystal. Red knew he couldn't just leave her in there like that. He knew Green, Blue and Vio wouldn't if they were the ones who tumbled down here.

Red stood up again and walked back to the staff. He sent a prayer to the goddess, Hylia, and grabbed the staff. Immediately, he started pulling. The burning sensation pulled at his senses, but he tried to keep it away from his mind. Tears began to stream down his eyes as the he began to feel as though his hands were on fire, the heat burning through his flesh, but Red refused to give up. His face had turned as red as his tunic when the staff finally began to move. It came out of place suddenly and Red feel flat on his back from the momentum. He looked away as the orb shattered.

The crystal began to glow and a huge crack appeared on it. Then another, and many more. The light shined brighter and Red looked away when it shattered. A wave of coldness blue over him, putting out the torches and cooling the lava to rock.

A girl with long, light blue hair with a matching tattered skirt emerged from the crystal and fell lifelessly onto the ground. With the lights out, the shattered remains of the crystal were now the only things providing light to the lonely room.

Red let out a worried gasp. He wiped away the tears in his eyes and forced himself to stand, so he could run over to the girl. Her skin was so pale that it was almost white, but Red could tell that her skin was a very light shade of blue. Despite his burnt hands, she was cold. Red winced at the sensation, but it provided a little relief to his hands and he held her gently in his arms, her hair revealing only one of her eyes.

The girl's eyelids twitched. A soft moan escaped her mouth as her light blue eyes opened and was met with the blurry, but eventually clear image, of a worried boy in red. His eyes were wide and pleading.

"...Th… Thank-you…" the girl whispered, softly.

The girl made an attempt to sit up.

"Y-You… O-Oh!"

The girl nearly fell over, but Red held her steady.

"Y-You actually listened to me…" said the girl. "You helped me!" Her eyes lit up with happiness. She floated up onto her bare feet. Red stood up with her.

"My name's Kai," said the girl. "Do you have a name?"

"R-Red!" Red said, excitedly. "My name's Red."

"Your… sword…" Kai said, glancing over at Red's sword handle. "Are you a swordsman?"

"I serve the Noble Knights," said Red. "We work to protect Hyrule and the royal family."

"You… serve the royal family?" said the Kai.

"Of course!" Red said, happily.

"But… you set me free…" said Kai.

"I… huh?" Red said, suddenly confused.

A loud explosion startled both Red and Kai.

"What was that?!" said Kai.

"RED!" said a voice.

Green, Blue, and Vio raced through the entrance. Red grew relieved at their presence.

"Guys! You're okay!" Red exclaimed. He ran up and hugged the boys… much to Blue's embarrassment.

"We're glad you okay, Red," said Green. "Who is this?"

Kai curiously gazed at the boys. Each of them looked relatively similar.

And then she saw Green…

"That's Kai," said Red. "She's-"

"You!" Kai said, angrily.

The four Links stared at Kai as she formed a fist. Winds of ice and white light swirled around it. Her skirt began to glow along with her hair to the wind.

"You and Zelda knew I was in there…" Kai said, coldly. "And you didn't do anything!"

"Huh?" the boys all said at once.

Vio saw the girl's hair flow in the breeze, revealing her other eye… and the mark underneath it.

"Did you even wonder who I was?!" Kai yelled, throwing a fist into the air towards Green. A blast of ice flew towards him.

"Green!" Vio yelled, jumping at him to save him, but the blast knocked both them and Blue away.

"Guys!" Red yelled in terror. He turned to Kai. "What are you doing?"

"My name is Kai!" Kai yelled. "And I will not be trapped here any longer!"

Kai lowered her hands and began to raise them once more. Ice and snow formed around her and she shot it upward, blasting a hole in the roof. A mountain of ice rose from under her, rising her up to the her only exit and she made a stairway up to her.

"Red! Come with me!" said Kai.

"Where?!" said Red.

"Anywhere but here!" said Kai.

Red turned to the others and then back to her.

"Kai, I… I c-can't-"

Kai lowered one of her hands and the stairway crumbled.

"Fine!" she said bluntly.

Green stood up. His sword glowed with a heavenly light and he swung a beam of energy at her. Kai raised a wall of ice and blocked it with ease.

"Don't trust him, Red," said Kai. "Good-bye."

Red jumped as the wind increased. Kai turned away towards her exit. The boy in red attempted to pursue her, but he and the others were met with an icy explosion...
