Introduction

A long time ago the world was in chaos. Evil and good were combined in the mighty pot of space -- swirling and swooping through the void of Kilrok. Kilrok, the mighty realm containing these evils and goods, was composed of air, land, and water. Air was the good of the soul, land was the median of mind, and water was the evil of force.

In this mighty chaos, beings from an alternate world -- a world of power -- found Kilrok in chaos. Combining the goods of the Kilrok, they used their mighty forces to create the living, stable world of Hyrule -- a land of happiness and well being. Chaos was no more.

But what became of Kilrok's waters? Where did the mighty goddess store the evil of Kilrok? Good cannot exist without evil.

Chapter 1

Whistles of gleeful birds flowed through the open windows. Air traveled inside the cot, flowing and swirling towards a young man asleep on a small oaken bed. His blond hair fluttered in the breeze. A small anticipation could be felt in the wind as it carried a message.

Slowly, his eyes fluttered open revealing bright blue eyes full of innocence. The light wind woke him with its silver ambience. Pushing the white sheets off, he laid his legs over the edge of the bed and yawned, pushing his arms above his head.

With a sudden burst of energy, he lifted himself off the bed, onto his feet, almost hitting the tall ceiling. The morning air felt good on his skin. He slowly moved himself towards his dresser and pulled out his clothing. The tan cotton cloth of the garment slipped onto his upper body, which he brushed down with his hands in order to take the animal hair off. He also slipped on his dark brown trousers.

"Link! Hey, Link!" A voice echoed from outside the window. "The shop is ready to open. I hope you finished that sword for Alto. He's been expecting it for the past three days and you promised to have it done by today!"

Link sighed and went to the corner of his cot and picked up a small, green notebook. Walking slowly outside with uncertain anticipation of his brother's rants of his laziness, he flipped through the text filled pages of names, numbers, and items. "Link, you might be better at metal crafting then me but I am still your big brother. I expect you to have things done on time." Link continued walking, ignoring his brother.

The orange morning sun blinded Link as he walked through the center of town past the recently built Nayru Fountain. The town was not very large, mostly composed of small brick buildings and wooden cots. The brick buildings were reserved mostly for shops and stores, except the lucky few with money, while the cots were strictly homes for the citizens of Hyrule City.

As Link kept walking, tracking dust in his path, he saw his Metal Crafting Shop approaching. It was a nice, small brown brick building with a blue tarp hanging over the front entryway. His brother had been talking the whole time but Link really only started to pay attention to him again at that moment. "Link, don't forget about Juma's order too. He ordered a shield six days ago. I hope you have finished. He did want it by tomorrow but it's always a good idea to finish early."

Ignoring his brother's berate of commands, he stepped inside the shop onto a hard, stone floor. He looked across the room at the window on the other side which nicely framed an enormous, white and blue castle being built. Link had only heard details about this but from what he has heard, the goddesses bestowed Kinghood upon a citizen of Hyrule. Link did not hear how this happened but he's content with his well off metal shop. Kings and godly things do not affect him much, to his opinion, so he often didn't care about such things. He never wished to become involved in anything of that enormity. He was happy here with his brother, his town folk, and his shop.
