Hello all! I'm The Chrono CO, and this is my first fanfic! You'd think by my name my first fanfic would be done in Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, or Advance Wars, right? It was supposed to be… But I had a change of plans. Enjoy my muses banter!

Magus: I thought I was supposed to be the star of your first fic!

The Chrono CO: I had a cool Zelda idea. I couldn't help myself!

Magus: You always try to start a fic, but never finish…

The Chrono CO: Quiet you!

Lawyers: SUE HIM!

The Chrono CO: Eep! Forgot the disclaimer!

The Chrono CO does not in any way own any part of Nintendo, Zelda, or any other video game characters. He hopes to someday, but currently doesn't.

The Chrono CO: On with the fic!

The Legend of Zelda: Saria's Ballad

Prologue: The Girl is Here

Windfall Island. A peaceful village, with little cares or worries. The shops ranging from the practical, such as the out of the way bomb shop, to the ridiculous, like the many roadside stands. A path weaves through the town, and across the island itself. In the middle of the island, a girl, small, oddly dressed with green hair, and bleeding slightly from one arm lay in the path, mumbling to herself. "Link…" she says. "Have…to warn…Link…" She had to get to him. Warn him that the seal had failed, that Ganon had returned. Where was she? In her time as a sage, she had seen all of Hyrule, and this place was not familiar to her. She remembered Ganon using a magic beam on her, and Rauru did something to warp her away, to safety. The last time she had spoken with Link, he mentioned exploring the Lost Woods, to find Navi. She hadn't heard from him for one year after that. "Link…" she said once more, passing out from weakness. On the other side of the island, a boy clothed in green, wielding the Master Sword, and a mirrored shield, jumped from his boat, to stock up for a raid on a certain fortress…

The Chrono CO: This is the Prologue. The chapters will get longer, and I have some great ideas for this fic!

Magus: Just so you know, this is an alternate universe.

The Chrono CO: I think they figured that out. This chapter was only one paragraph or so, but as I write, I improve. So R&R, and remember: suggestions and constructive criticism are GOOD things.
