I had never really thought about the fact that I look nothing like the rest of my family. They all had curly or wavy golden brown hair, while mine was just light brown and straight, which was odd, because my no one in my family shares this trait with me. No one has my brown eyes either. Of course, I never questioned this, as it was still my family, until the dreams started. I had been dreaming of a place, sort of a kingdom, with a castle and all, that I could swear I've never been to before, and yet it seemed familiar somehow. I decided to ask my mom about it.

"Hey mom? Did we go to Disneyland when I was little?" I asked.

"No, we when for the first time last year, remember?" She was right, and I still couldn't figure out what the place was. I decided to ask my older sister. She looked the most like me of anyone. We had very similar features, such as our faces, and general build, but of course she still had the wavy golden hair and blue eyes; not to mention she was almost a foot taller than me, as everyone in my family seems to me (5.4" is not supposed to be short.) I walked into her room, to find that she was doing homework, as she does every Sunday night.
"Hey, Aria, have we ever been to a castle place before?" She turned to me in her spin chair, (of which I was jealous of.)
"I don't think so... unless that mini-golf trip counts." I sank down on her bed,
"Was I adopted?" I thought that I might be, as for the fact that I look like no one related to me. She frowned,
"Not that I know of, you could be." I started to think about it.
"What would you do if I turned out to be royalty?" She laughed and came to sit beside me, leaving her homework to be done later,
"I would probably come live with you in your castle, and ride horses every day."
"And if you were, I would get the soldiers to teach me to fight" We went on for a bit, talking about what we would do if one of us was a queen. After about an hour of making a detailed plan, I finally left her to do her homework in peace, and went to bed. I plopped down on my bed in my fuzzy pyjamas; I was quite tired from my Karate lesson earlier. I had just got my brown, and I had to help teach the last class of 5 year olds. I am a natural at karate, and I have no idea why, but I had been doing it since I was 3, and I have always been top of the class, advancing really fast, it was just natural talent. As I was about to fall asleep, I thought I heard music, almost like a flute. It made me really sleepy, and soon I was in a deep sleep.
Next thing I knew, I awoke in a bedroom chamber, decorated with lots of gold and purple, and there was a large mirror on the other side of the room, and in it, I saw that I was in a dress. It was a white dress with decorated golden shoulder pads, a purple overcoat thing that was fastened at the waist, and then flowed down to the floor, and fastened to the golden belt, was a banner with a pink and purple design, and three gold triangles in the shape of a pyramid. I found that I was also wearing a crown, encrusted with a purple triangle gem; it really complemented my light brown hair. I looked around the fanciful room, and noticed a boy (a cute boy at that); he was about my age, blonde, stunning blue eyes, wearing a green tunic and a matching hat, he was also holding what looked to be an ocarina. He then bowed to me "Princess Zelda, I am happy to see you are safe." Princess?
"What? Princess, me? There must be a mistake, I'm not a princess!"
"If you weren't, you would not have appeared when I played your song," So that must've been the music I heard. "Plus, look at your hand." I looked and there, on my hand was the same triangle design that was on my dress. Holy crap, am I royalty?"Who are you? And how did I get," I gestured around me, "here?" I asked, hoping for a reasonable explanation.
"I am Link, of Hyrule, and I was chosen to go on the journey to return you to the throne, of which I have just done, with the Ocarina of Time." He held up his instrument thingy. That must've been the music then. I sat down on the bed. I was absolutely bewildered by the whole situation, Is this for real? What about Aria!
"So I'm 'Princess Zelda.'"
"Yes."
"And I'm the ruler of this place."
"Mhm."
"And you brought me here with a magic ocarina."
"Pretty much." I sat there for a minute, absolutely dumbfounded. Thinking of how much this made sense, with the castle dreams and adoption. Suddenly, I noticed his condition; he was covered in cuts and bruises.
"You're hurt!" To be honest, I was surprised that I was only noticing now.
"I'll be fine, I just had to kill the evil king dude to get here, so I'm a little battered." He defeated an evil king to save me?
"Well, you're welcome to sit and rest. You must be exhausted!" He sighed as he sank into the chair. Meanwhile, I looked for bandages or something to help him out. After a while of searching the room, I finally found a first-aid kit (A rather weird one at that, it contained a bottle of purple stuff), and walked back over to Link, "Ok, what's bothering you most." He protested a bit saying he was fine, but I can be quite stubborn.
"Just let me look! I'll only treat the worst of it!"
"Really, I'm fine!"
"No, you're not; just let me treat the worst one, ok?"
He sighed, as if he knew I wasn't giving up. He winced as he lifted up his pant leg. When I saw there was a gash about thirty centimetres long and about a centimetre deep the whole way, I gasped, "How…"
Link sighed; "Swords are harder to dodge than you might think." I smiled, and started dressing the wound, and wrapping it with gauze. Once I finished, I sat back on the bed, and put my hands to my head. He checked over his newly wrapped leg, and I just still couldn't believe this.
"Are you sure that I'm Zelda, because I'm not so sure, I am just Danni, an average person!" He looked at me for a minute. As if seeing if I had a royal quality. He then looked to a painting over the fireplace,
"You sure look like you are, check out the painting. That was the last queen, she looks a lot like you.", and there, over the fireplace, there was a painting of me. Well, almost me, she was much older. "No way…. So what now, should I, like, address the people?" I suggested, really not sure of what to do next.
"I suggest that you do." He slowly stood up, "Come on, I'll show you the way to the terrace."
