Summery: Link comes back from Termania but his demeanor has changed from a child like happiness to that of overwhelming Sadness which he hides with anger.

Chapter one: A long lost friend.

In the land of Hyrule, there was a legend of a boy who became a hero in the face of overwhelming evil. In another Land, the same Legend has endured the trials of time, though, the story is different, but the face of the boy is the same; a blonde haired boy, with green clothes, and a fairy above his head. Though, there is another legend that is untold, but all that's about to change. Listen well to the story of how a once pure heart becomes dark and awakens an Evil that he himself put to sleep.

After Link and Epona started off into the Lost Woods once again, but this time, heading back to the beautiful land of Hyrule.

"Hyrule, I'm coming home. Though, without what I was looking for…instead, I was used once again. I was used by the Goddesses to Save another Land from certain doom. Why can't anything go my way? Why do I have to be a hero? I just want to find Navi, why is that so wrong?" Link asked not expecting an answer, but one came anyway.

A tiny, high pitched voice spoke from above Link. "It's not."

Link let one tear trickle down his voice and he looked up. "Navi?"

Navi flew down and landed on Links shoulder and gave him the best hug she could since she couldn't really fit her arms around his neck.

"Navi, I've been looking for you, but before I could find you I was ambushed and knocked unconscious, I was only out for a minute but when I tried to grab him he jumped on Epona and rode off, I grabbed him and was dragged for a little while. Long story short, I had to save another Land." Link explained to his friend.

Navi didn't say anything for a second, but then she spoke with a hint of Sadness in her voice. "I know, I know, Link. I saw you out in the woods and I knew you were looking for me, but, the Goddesses did something to keep me from getting to you, and then sent someone to tell me what was going on." Link looked at Navi for a second and then stared ahead of him at the opening that meant he would soon be back in the Village he once lived in, but was kicked out of when people learned of his heritage. He now had to live in Hyrule field, making camp where ever he could. Since no one remembered what had happened in the future he couldn't very well go to the Castle. Sometimes the Ranch allowed him to spend the night, but he couldn't stay longer then a day at a time.

Link's face had hardened just as quickly as he heard what Navi said.

"Link?" Navi worried.

"I never asked to be a hero, you know? They never gave me an option, when ever the world is controlled by Evil, I am instantly summoned. Even if I'm only ten, I had to become creatures that once died. I still have the masks, A Goron, a Zora, and a deity, all of which are dead. I also have a mask that fell off my face when I turned back into myself after being a Deku bush. I'm tired of being the Goddesses puppet." Link had now entered the Village of Children who never grow old and were already nearing the exit.

Navi and Link didn't speak to each other for the rest of the trip to Lon Lon Ranch
