Beautiful Stranger

The Three Stones.

Link opened his eyes and paced around the room swatting at Navi, his guardian fairy. His heart swelled with pride as he reminded himself of all he had done for the kingdom. 'What was it the princess wanted me to do with these stones…'

" Hey! Listen! Don't you think you should bring the spiritual stones to the princess?" she shouted. 'Oh yeah'

Link ran out his door and looked around at the serenity and innocents of the forest. Lush grass and trees sprouted in every corner, allowing a green hue to overtake the inhabitants of the forest. He greeted his friends as he past and left the forest with a heavy heart.

He looked at the field surrounding him and took out his sward. The sun started to set around him as he walked along the trail leading to the Castle gates. Night colors soon overtook the skies, and monsters slowly emerged from the ground. Link positioned himself in a battle stance and held his sward ready.

A dagger zipped close to his left ear hitting each monster squarely on the forehead. The monsters slid to the ground in a filthy pile of bones. He picked up the dagger from the remains and saw it was crissoned with jewels. He slowly turned to face what had thrown the beautiful dagger only to see a shadow disappear into the night.

He turned slowly and started toward the castle as the morning colors overtook the sky.

" Short night." He said to Navi

" Yes and who ever threw this dagger might show up again." Navi hissed sticking her nose in the air.

He watched the town gates open slowly as the fires started to die down.

Link watched patiently, but got suspicious when the skies got dark again. Lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled in the clouds. A white horse could be seen galloping toward the slowly opening gate. He watched it approach fast. Link realized that it wasn't about to stop. He quickly jumped out of the way.

" LINK!" it was Zelda. She was riding what looked like the kingdom's fastest horse. She tossed an ocarina to him and he caught it with ease.

A large black horse approached, and perched atop it was the King's apprentice, of which Zelda had forewarned. He had an evil look in his eyes as he glared ahead at the white horse that was now receding into the distance.

" Do you know where they are headed?" his voice was filled with anger, frustration, and hatred. Link looked up at him seeming to be paralyzed. He took out his sward and held it in front of him, only to be knocked down by a serge of power from Gannondorf's fingertips.

Link fell unconscious as Gannondorf galloped in the direction the princess left.

He blinked his eyes slowly and looked in the direction the evil man left. Link pulled out the ocarina and examined it. It was light blue and had a small parchment of paper crumpled into the mouthpiece. He slowly unfolded it to show a well-written note.

Dear Link,

Keep this ocarina close. Guard it with your life. Don't let it out of your site. It will open the gateway to time.

Impa signed it.

Link looked up to find many curious faces of the villagers.

" What?" he asked flatly. They were invading his privacy.

" You should go to the Temple of Time. That is what Zelda said before she was taken away." An old man said wisely.

Link Got up and walked slowly away from the awkward moment, tossing it into the past. As soon as he had escaped the grasp of the villagers' eyes, he ran up the steps to the temple.

A flash of light was emitted from his buckskin pouch that rested on his hip. He slowly unbuttoned it, letting the three spiritual stones escape. They flowed toward the alter resting in three engravements. He could hear Zelda's voice in his head.

" Play the song you learned from the past." Her voice stated.

Link shifted and placed the ocarina on his lips. A beautiful melody was woven into the air, as it was emitted into the serenity of the church like setting.

As soon as he stopped, a rumble shook the floor. The huge wall that had a carved symbol of time had cracked and fell into rubble. Link saw and additional room behind the place where the wall use to stand.

He gazed forward in awe, for in front of him was the master sward. He slowly stepped up to it and pulled it out, releasing a flow of energy that surged through his body. He was surrounded by blue and his eyes were blurred with tears. He felt as though he were about to pass out.

A/N: how did you like it? So how is everything? I think that I am doing a lot better with my writing. I am really liking this story. I had a dream similar to the Zelda Characters so I wrote it down and turned it into a story. I am just writing a little more. So I hope you like it. Please review!
