Chapter 1: A Premonition of Fate
A young girl stumbled out on to an elegant, white balcony and nearly collapsed on the railing. The city below began to twinkle as the sum lazily sank in the distant skies.
The girl smiled. Watching the everyday people below her putting away their everyday lives for suppers with everyday families put her mind at ease. She recalled why she suffered day in and day out; it was for these everyday people.
All day and every week for the past two years, she had sat through conference after conference. It was the worst way to spend the weekend. Her father and the other members of the United Council of Hyrule would site and debate the age old topic of power among the race states. The same old reference would spin around in a dizzying spiral and make the listeners nauseous and drained of all energetic life. It had been centuries since any new points had been brought to the Council; it was just a waste of one's livelihood.
It was all because of that man, Gannondorf. Two years ago he reached the age when a Gerudo male could claim representation for the race, and he claimed it and tried to claim everything else. His demands for more power were monotonous, but, as her father always said, everyone has a right to get their needs met.
The girl sighed sadly as the sun set in her blue eyes and the night began to wash over her blonde hair. Conferences seemed even more draining these days.
She blamed it on the absence of her friend, Nabooru. Two months ago the chipper girl was as noisy as ever, but now was different. All the color seemed gone from her bronze skin and her eyes were glazed and chalky.
Gannondorf didn't seem worried at all, despite the fact that Nabooru was his fiancée. In fact, he seemed more joyous than sad. It made the girl hate him even more.
Now that she thought about it, the Gerudo Representative seemed unusually happy today. It made her suspicious. Just what was he planning...?
The girl sighed. She couldn't possibly worry about it now, not with the sun setting so peacefully and the city starting to twinkle in the dusk...
Déjà vu...
The girl shot upright.
She'd been here before? Not here, per say, this was her balcony, but she had lived this time, this place, this feel before, but where...?
Was it in a past life? She often saw herself in other ages; always her, a powerful evil, a glowing triad and... and... the boy, the one clad in green with a sword and a fearless composure! The hero of legend! But no... she hadn't seen this in an adventure with him.
A dream...? Yes, a dream! That?s where! She tried to recall what happened.
I'm standing on this balcony... like I am now... and... dark clouds! Dark clouds cover the city and I am enclosed in darkness!
She spun around and sure enough dark clouds were closing in from behind her.
Damn! Why didn't I see them?!
Of course she wouldn?t have seen them. They were moving so unnaturally fast they would have been beyond her line of sight minutes ago.
What to do...? What to do...?
Should she run for help? No, no one would believe her anyway. Dark clouds are just dark clouds, nothing to be afraid of. Besides, she was sure the clouds were only after her; to risk the lives of others for her selfishness would be the worst thing she could do.
By now the clouds were chocking out the distant sun.
Ok, clouds... If you want me, come and get me.
There was a screech like a hawk and her world went black.
Everything will be okay. The hero of legend will save us; just like in my dream, just like in my memories, just like in my heart. Everything will be okay...

Far away, in an opposite corner of the country, a spirit was awakened and destiny had begun to run its course.
He had seen it all; the blonde-haired girl, the sunset, the black clouds. He heard her hit the floor and the screams "Zelda! Princess Zelda!"
Something cold hit his cheek, bringing him back to reality. Thunder pounded the clouds over the field, and they broke into tears, trying to wash the evil from the world.
"Link!" He swiveled around toward the voice.
"Link, hurry inside. You'll catch a cold!" His grandmother continued to call.
With out last, worried look out into Link dashed inside, not knowing that in those few, short moments the wheel of his destiny had started to turn.
—
"Everything is set. Soon, all of Hyrule will be mine."
"Don't be stupid. We can't rush things."
"What was that, hag?! Are you telling me what to do? Do not forget that it was I who pulled you out of death. Were it not for me, you would not be living!"
"All I'm saying is that is it will take time. Zelda is wise beyond her years; she will not be broken as easily as Nabooru."
"I don't care how long it takes. The power of wisdom will be mine either way"

Author's Notes: So, you like? you like? There are probably a lot of puncutation errors, but oh well. There is also a prolouge around but if you now anything about the Legend of Zelda (and if you're reading this than you probably do) it is completely useless (just typical Legend stuff... Hero.. blah .. sword of evil's bane.. bleh blah). Also I wrote this half way through the Wind Waker, so in the later years, when the next game comes out and new quirks, gadgets and theories are added, just understand the time frame in which this was written. (That makes no sense but your all smart people. Have fun decoding it :P ) Thank you!
