Link was running away from something. He turned and saw a humongous creature. It was... King Dodongo? But he killed it when he was a young 'un... how did it come back to life? And how did it grow plant-like tentacles? And why is it so... small? The dodongo had to be a bit taller than half his height. When Link was 10, it was like 50 feet tall.
Without warning, Link fell off a cliff. He didn't see it coming; there were too many thoughts going through his mind. The Hookshot was his only hope of survival. Link squeezed the handle and watched the 'shot get lodged in the opposite cliff wall a ways up. But now he was swinging right into the jagged cliff! The rocky blades came up to meet him...
The next thing he knew, he was on the top of the cliff with three warriors, all wielding swords. One had blue hair, another had reddish-brown hair, and the third had brown hair so dark you could only tell it was brown if you were inches away from him. The Dodongo was on the other side of the abyss.
The brown-haired one yelled something in Japanese. He dashed forward at near the speed of sound and jumped. Brown (his tentative name) brought his sword underneath him and stabbed his way into the Dodongo's neck. It roared, then fell to the ground, its head half-way cut off.
Link looked around. Four others joined the blue and red haired guys. The first had blue hair like Marth, but he wore silver armor and had his hair in a braid that laid over his chest (kinda like how Obi-Wan and Anakin keep theirs). His eyes were dark. The second had sandy-blonde hair and had his in a short ponytail. A red armored band covered his forehead. He had a light-green tunic on with a heavy leather belt. A leather strap across his chest held his sword in place on his back, similar to Link's. The third man... or was it a woman? No, it was a man, but he had long, wild-looking blonde hair that almost touched his waist. He had silver full-body armor with a purple silken cloth going down the middle of it. He had no scabbard for his sword.
The fourth...was it...no...Malon? It looked just like her, if she had her hair in a single thick braid that went down to her waist. She was the same size as Malon, but she wore a cream-white dress. Link could tell she had armor underneath. The girl had a sword, and a shield that was even shinier than the Mirror Shield, and it had sapphires etched into it. It looked just like the winter sky...
Brown jumped back over the cliff, and all the warriors started conversing. Link couldn't hear what they were saying. He tried to get up, but he was aching too much, and there were a few bandages on his body where the rocks on the cliff had cut him.
"Can you sense it?" The one who had the red armored band across his forehead.
"Yes, Destin...that Infernal Aura..." Replied the long-haired blonde guy.
"It gets stronger each day. It won't be long 'til the enemy shows its ugly face, Debonair."
The girl...Malon...she looked just like her... Link couldn't stop thinking of her. Was it really Malon? he asked himself over and over.
"John!" the blue-haired guy with the Padawan-style braid's voice brought Link back to his senses. How much of this conversation did I just miss now? The brown-haired guy looked at him. "Lead your troops into Hyrule. We can't let what happened to Altea and Palatinus happen to that noble country."
"Yessir, General Magnus."
"We'll meet you there soon enough. Just hold out until then."
Link woke up.
----------------------------------------------------
RSL: So, how was it so far? Confusing? Hope not. Exciting? Hope so. What will happen to Hyrule? Will this thing that Magnus spoke of come to Hyrule? Who is John? What does Magnus mean by "his troops? Will this dream/prophecy/vision really happen? Where did Link wake up at? Who is this girl who looks like Malon? Is it Malon? Find out in the next chapter!
