Hello everyone,
I would just like to quickly outline the story.
As you could already tell from the description, this story will be about Link. This is just an idea that sprung up in my head, and I have decided to carry it out.
Although this is my first Zelda fanfiction, it isn't my first fanfiction. The last one I was working on, I have placed on halt. My knowledge of Zelda might be a little skewed, because I haven't played the games in quite some time, so bear with me if I screw up something canonically. Keep in mind, if something doesn't quite line up with the canon, things could have changed since I thought of my story. I thought of this years ago and I'm finally putting it into action.
I'm also going to write this differently than my last story. One of the contributing factors to why I have postponed my last story was because I kept thinking I had to make long chapters. I want to move away from that and make smaller chapters that I can update at least once per week. I want to take this story very slowly.
The mantis colored grass swept back and forth across the ground, aided by some force in the air which seemingly bore no winds within its confine. Not only were the blades of a coarse texture, they also possessed the slight waxy-wet surface of verdure with ample moisture. Thriving amid the interminable expanse of green, laid nothing amongst something. Nonexistence surrounded by life. Not a single creature to claim it as its abode. Yet there laid variation, surprisingly in the generic blanket sprawled out before it.
At what one would consider the center, stood a towering oak tree, proudly protruding its sturdy limbs, as its trunk thrust out towards the heavens. Like the paint strokes of an artist's brush, the sky bore a divided canvas, one side as black as ebony, dotted with glowing stars, and the other with a brilliant golden luminescent. Within the bounds of darkness' grasp, laid a waning, charcoal colored celestial orb, and to its rival, a single bright sphere. To further the contrast of light and the absence of it, the tree had divided its state, one side alive, full of leaves, while the other devoid of such greens.
A levithan amongst men, sat in a meditative state, against the trunk. The only sound existing, came from his light breathing, as his chest slightly expanded outwards and back in. Snow laden hair hung from his head, unmoving, as the parted bangs reached past his colorless eyes. Several fingertips caressed the cheek bone of his pale, milky skin. Barley gliding across the streaks of red.
Pain.
He clutched his chest as his heart shook with fervor, a sharp intake of air, and a widening of his eyes. One leg in front of the other, slowly but surely, he took a stand with a hand against the roughly textured oak, as it too swayed at his ache.
Serenity regained its grasp, as he stood towering and unwavering. Along his silky, chalk colored cape rested small fragments of brown bark. With a shake of his hand, a swift motion brushed the pieces to the ground.
An eyebrow extended upwards, crinkling the blue pattern of paint on his forehead, as he turned his head towards the shining orange side of the sky. Its influence grew stronger, and seemingly pushed part of the night as it became more luminous.
"She comes."
A forceful wind whipped into the world, as a feminine figure appeared. A smooth ivory dress danced around, folding over itself, graciously touching the lengthy platinum blonde hair, reaching towards her back. Her aqua eyes shone as bright as any star, as her gaze met an unwavering study.
"Why have you come here?"
"You need not survey incessantly."
"I stand in opposition."
Her face took a disgruntled appearance, and paused to reassess, as she pried further, "I pray thee of confirmation."
He shifted his stance as he replied, "an unbalance looms."
Surprise took hold of her, as she raised an eyebrow and replied, "Wherefore are thou of a child's mind? The three themselves favor my own judgement."
"How alike you are to what you deem me. Exist alone? Solely their own acumen? I think not."
He exhaled outwards readjusted his composure, "you forget this image was forged elsewhere."
"Pray pardon me what thee did envision?", she inquired.
"Eternal suffrage, an enduring shift towards the dark."
The two continued to inspect each other, with neither shifting their gaze.
"As the arbitrator, thee possess the aptitude."
"Not if hindered."
She questioned furthermore, "by?"
"It is… unknown to me."
He broke his gaze and positioned his head towards the ground, while he replied, "I must meditate further."
The blonde sighed and ran a hand along the surface of her seamless dress, as she responded, "if't be true behoveful, the sacred relic may be employed."
"I have pondered on that, and have reached a conclusion. It would serve to only delay, or perhaps hasten the inexorable."
"As I hath said, you strike me as a Lanayru quarries a vacant mine."
He ran a hand through his hair as she approached him. His frame towered over hers, standing nearly twofold her size. The difference was soon diminished as he lowered himself to the comforting grass below.
She stood over him, and spoke softly, "You need not worry." Gently, she lowered herself to his side, and placed a warm, tender kiss on his cheek.
As quickly as she appeared, she vanished out of sight with a glowing flare.
So that was my chapter, let me know what you think. I made a lot of allusions to the Zelda games in this chapter, which I think was pretty neat.
I plan to release another chapter on 4/8/2016 and if not that day, the day after.
Please feel free to PM me if you want.
Cheers.
