Link defeated the evil King Ganondorf and with help from Zelda and the six sages they sealed him in the sacred realm. Link and Zelda went back to the real time and all people of Hyrule gave them all their best congratulations for defeating Ganondorf even they were just two small childs. Link and Zelda grew up together and went on many adventures.One day a new evil came to Hyrule and Link and Zelda went to save Hyrule. It was Vaati the evil sorcerer. They fought him and defeated him. It was that they thought... When Zelda and Link turned 19, Link proposed to Zelda and they got married and became the king and queen of Hyrule. Some years later they got a baby girl and they named her Rita. Years passed and the princess grew up and became just like her mother, full of power, wise and shy but was like her father too, brave and curious. She looks like her mother except for the eyes, she has her fathers eyes. Now she is 17 and strange things are happening in Hyrule.

Chapter 1: A lurking shadow

"What is it with everybody?" King Link asked the royal guard.

"My lord... There is something strange in the market, I dont really know what it is but we are looking at it now. The Queen is waiting for you in the throne room."

Link walked to the throne room, Zelda was standing beside the window and looked out into the courtyard.

"She wanted to see me Zelda?"

She turned her gaze at Link and smiled.

"Do you remember which day it is?"

Link looked confused at his wife, she smiled warmly at him... What did she mean? What day?

"You dont remember? Its the day we defeated Ganondorf... I thought you would remember that."

"Oh... Sorry Zelda but I have been so busy today. Its something strange happening at the market. Where is Rita?"

"I dont really know... She said something about walking but she didnt say where." Zelda said and kisses Link softly on his lips. He smiled and looked deeply into her eyes.

"You dont know...But I do."

Link walked out of the castle and towards the Hyrule market, the guards let him pass and Jukan, one of the royal knights walked over to him and bowed.

"People are saying they are seeing a shadow lurking around in the market... I talked to the owner at Happy mask shop´ and he says he has seen its a man wandering around at the night and he is walking toward the castle everytime..." Jukan said.

"So this shadow people are talking about is a person?"

"Yes my lord. We will take a closer look at this. We cant let Hyrules peace be disturbed like this." Jukan said and walked away.

Link looked toward the Temple of Time.

The sun light was stronger inside the temple. Link looked at two statues, its was a statue of him and Zelda. It was a gift from the people of Hyrule for they had saved them from eternal darkness. His hand stroke the name on the statue of Zelda, his mind was filled with happyness and joy. The thought of Zelda and Rita made him so happy, he once didnt have any family and he didnt know what love was, but when he met Zelda everything changed and now he has a lovely wife and a beautiful child. Tears was streaming out of his eyes, tears of joy.

"Father? Are you crying?"

Link turned around and saw his daughter, Rita stand behind him. She looked at him sadly.

"What is wrong father?"

He embraced her. Tears streaming out of his eyes.

"Nothing is wrong my dear. Have you been her all the time?"

"Yes father. I have been wondering, it is the day you and mother defeated the evil king Ganondorf and I came her to track in your memories... How was it? Tell me how you defeaded him?"

Link looked into Ritas eyes. Her eyes were filled with excitement and curiosity.

"Why not." He smiled.

The princess satt down on the floor like a young child and looked at her father.

He told everything about his adventures and how he and Zelda defeated Ganondorf and Vaati. It went on for hours and suddenly Jukan came running into the temple calling out for Link.

"My Lord! We have seen it! The shadow! Come before it disappears!"

"Stay here Rita!" Link said and ran out with Jukan right behind him.

"But father..."

Rita raised up from the floor looking at her father running out of the temple. She looked out one of the windows, the blue sky was covered by dark clouds and wind started to rage. What was going on? What was happening? Her questions was unanswered, no one had the answers to that. Suddenly she felt a cold feeling, someone was watching her. She looked scaredly around. The wooden door slamed and made her heart jump. A shadow was lurking around her, making her feel afraid and scared. Suddenly she heard a laughter...

"Whos there?!" She called out.

No one answered. Could it be... Ganondorf? No, he was locked into the sacred realm, it couldnt be him. The laughter came back but it was very near her this time. She turned around and saw a shadow behind her fathers statue. She ran toward it but nothing was there. A hand touched her shoulder and she turn around and faced a man with red eyes. He pressed her into the statue and forced her to look at him. He gave her a evil smile, his red eyes were filled with evil. He was dressed in a black coat.

"Who are you?" She asked in a frigthen voice.

"My name is not important."

He had a mark under his left eye and his hair covered his right eye.

Link ran toward the senter of the market where all the guards stood watching down at the ground. Link pushed one of them away and looked down. It was only a black piece of cloth moving with the wind.

He looked at Jukan.

"This must be a joke... Its just a piece of cloth!"

Jukan couldnt believe what he saw.

"I am very sorry my lord... It was the guards who said they found the..." He stoped.

"What?" Link asked coufused.

"Someone is...screaming?"

A scream came from the Temple of Time.

"This was just a set up! Head to the temple!" Link shouted.

"Let me go!" Rita screamed.

The mysterious man smirked. He was enjoying the moment.

His face was one inch from hers, his eyes was still filled with evil, his breath was warm. Her heart was beating harder, her blood was boiling through her veins, she was afraid. What would he do to her? Would he kill her? Thoughts ran through her head. His hand glide through her golden hair. Suddenly the wooden doors burst open and he took one step away fromthe princess. He took a hood and covered his face and disappeard in a black smoke.

Link ran over to his daughter who stood shocked into the statue. Her eyes filled with fear, her skin white as milk.

"You will be okay now. Jukan! I want guards patroling the market every night! I will have this stranger served on a silver plate!"

Jukan bowed and took the guards out.

"Rita? What did he do to you?"

They stood there in silence in a long time, the dark clouds disappeard, the wind stoped blowing... The King stroke his daughters cheek.

"I will take him... I swear to the goddesses... I will take him."
