Chapter One:

"Over the Mountains and through the woods…"

Miri, a beautiful girl with brown hair in pony-tails and freckles on her nose, had just been ordered to bring water up to the Queens Castle.

I've never been to such a thought. Only the luckiest of villagers were allowed.

Miri was soon so tired that the sun made her torture more by throwing more heat waves at her.

"Excuse me." someone pushed her to the ground. Miri woke up suddenly looking at a tall pale man wearing white stockings to his brown boots and a green "dress", that looked as it was made from leaves, on top of his head was a green hat, on his back was a sword blue sword with a hourglass attached to it and a brown shield with weird designs in white.

His blue eyes searched Miri's face, "Your-" she couldn't speak.

"Are you heading for the castle?" He asked, looking at the buckets of water.

Miri just watched with amazement. Her jaw hanging as if it has just popped out of place.

"I'm going there as well. Follow me." He grabbed two buckets and began walking. With that, Miri took a deep breath.

"Hello." Miri finally said carrying two other buckets.

"Glad you can talk." He said.

"Your, my villages hero, aren't you?" Miri asked trembling.

The man nodded. "I'm Link. You are?"

"I'm- I'm…Miri." Miri tried not to look his way. It was embarrassing enough to let a man do a woman's job. If her father saw what she was doing, she would be in a heap of trouble.

"Why are you here?" Miri asked. "Aren't supposed to be saving lives?"

Link was quiet until he spotted the castle up ahead.

" Can you keep a secret, Miri?" Link whispered.

"Yes, sir." Miri said.

"Zelda needs my help, a very powerful necklace has been stolen. Without the necklace, the kingdom will fall. I fear Gonondorf stole it." Link whispered.

"Gonondorf? Who is that?" Miri asked.

"The person who wants to take over the world…"

"So, does Mad Joe, down the street. But I don't see him planning anything big." Miri said.

"He is also the person who will do anything to get Zelda killed." Link said.

"So, Ganandorf is trying to kill our Princess Zelda? And destroy the world?" Miri asked.

Link nodded.

"May I come with you?" Miri asked.

"It's too dangerous, Miri. You'll get yourself hurt." Link said sternly.

"Because I'm a girl isn't it? I'm thirteen, for heaven sakes. I know I can help!" Miri yelled.

"Shh! Just forget what I told you." Link said, looking that he was at least minutes away from the castle.

"Never." Miri hissed.

"You're a stubborn little girl." Link said.

"Thank you. Now I insist, that you take me with you." Miri said.

"I'm sorry, Miri. Your going to get hurt." Link dropped the buckets now that he was right in front of a giant white castle.

"Name?" A knight asked.

"Link and a friend." Link said picking up the buckets.

"Enter." the knight said.

"Is this Princess Zelda's castle?" Miri asked.

"No." Link said. "Go this way and take a right. The woman in the blue robes will take the buckets, then I want you out of here. Nice meeting you, Miri." Link walked into the castle, leaving the two heavy buckets.

"Nice meeting you too," Miri said nicely. "LINK!" Miri spat when he was out of sight.

Come on, MIRI! This is your chance to go! A little voice in her head said.

Stay out of trouble! Another voice said.

"I'm going." Miri said. With that she picked up her dirty blue dress and ran into the hallway where Link had disappeared. She entered a room that had pink painted walls with a white-diamond chandelier, a wooden floor that had a brilliant orange glow. White flowers were printed on the walls, with weird royalty signs that Miri didn't recognize. The most thing that stood out in the whole room was a mirror. It was giant and golden with a swirl-like design.

"Wow…" Miri slowly walked toward the attractive mirror.

She held out her hand to touch the design. It felt "magical" to her.

Miri felt as she was being pulled into the mirror. She soon felt out of the trance and she saw half her hand was in the mirror.

"Oh MY!" Miri yelled, she closed his eyes, she felt as if she had been sucked up by a tornados.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Miri woke up, cold and wet. She took a breath and stood up.

"MY SHOES!" Miri yelped as she saw she was wearing black boots, white tights, and a blue like dress, like Link's. Her hair was loose and a blue hat on top of her head.

"Ohh, father is going to be angry!" Miri yelled.

"Who goes there?" A strong manly voice yelled.

"Link! It's Miri." Miri called.

Link appeared out of nowhere. "What are you doing here?" he asked outraged.

"I followed you. Got a problem with that!?" Miri smiled. "Now, that I proved that girl's can follow men, dangerous or not, I can go home now." Miri turned around, expecting to see the mirror. "Link, where's the mirror?"

"It's gone." Link said. "Follow me."

Miri, was now mad as hell.

"Where are we going?" Miri asked impatiently.

Link didn't answer.

"You IDIOT! I asked you a question." Miri yelled. "Normally, I wouldn't call a man a idiot. But since you're a boy! You are one!"

"No need for names." Link whispered.

"No. Need for names? Right now is a need! If I don't get to my house by sunset father will hurt me. Please, take me home." Miri said. Now, regretting that she had called Link an idiot.

"I'm sorry Link." Miri said minutes later realizing what she did was wrong.

"Took you long enough." Link murmured.

"No need to be rude, Link." Miri smirked.

They continued through trees and plants. Waiting, searching, for a sign. To get Miri home, before she annoyed, Link and others.
