Yo, it's me! Again. Sorry, but I just had to make this story! I got the idea from... nowhere, I guess, and just had to write it down. I'll make sure to update my other stories.

Link: Right...

Me: Can it, fairy boy. Read the disclaimer already.

Link: Blazer227 does not own the Legend of Zelda, and that's Mister fairy boy to you.


Chapter One

Jon opened his eyes. He didn't know where he was, or what he was doing here. Probably dreaming again... Jon thought. He had been having strange dreams lately. They had started with a few blurry images of a man in strange robes and with a silver helmet, and had grown into scenes of the man in the robes dueling against a large, dark man with a bright sword. The last dream he had, the robed man had died, and Jon had woke up, feeling quite sad and depressed. He was confused. There had also been three other people watching in horror as the dark man had killed the robed man. There had been a man dressed in green, with a sword strapped across his back, a beautiful woman in a pink gown and golden hair, and a girl about his age, Jon figured, with long golden hair, and bright blue eyes. Her eyes were filled with sadness as the robed man died. Jon also sensed another figure somewhere, but he couldn't see him or her. Jon was confused about the dreams. What did they mean? Why was he having them? How come they felt so real? Jon watched as the man with the silver helmet and robes began to fight the tall man, as he always did. Jon wanted to help him, but he wouldn't move. The other three people weren't moving either. We should be helping him, Jon thought. He watched in horror, as he always did, as the bright sword went through the robed man's chest, and he collapsed to the ground. Jon felt fear grip his body as the tall man began to move towards Jon, a evil glint in his eyes...

Zant watched as his shadow creature appeared from a portal, carrying a limp figure in its hands. Zant pointed to the bed set up in the corner, and the creature placed the figure on the bed. Zant nodded, and the creature disappeared. He walked over to the sleeping form. It was a boy with brown hair that was slightly messy. He seemed so calm, so peaceful. Zant looked around sadly at the cave that he lived in. After his disasterous defeat at the hands of Midna and Link, Zant's spirit had floated around in the darkness for a long time. Then, he had met Ganondorf. Zant was suprised. He thought that Ganondorf would have defeated that Link character with no more effort than he would in smashing a fly. Ganondorf had told Zant that he could get them out of this accursed darkness and back to Hyrule, where he had a new plan to take over Hyrule. Zant had agreed, but as soon as they were out and back in their own bodies, he had fled. Ganondorf was outraged, but had let Zant be. He would get what was coming to him another day. Zant had hid in this cave, thinking about what he had done. Maybe he should have stayed in the darkness. He couldn't show his face to anyone, not Link, not Zelda, not Midna, and especially not Ganondorf. But, one night as he slept, he had a dream where he was dueling against Ganondorf, but for some reason, it didn't seem like him. Zant didn't know why he thought that, but it just felt like that was an impersonater. He had watched as Ganondorf had killed... him? Or someone else who wore his garb? It didn't matter. Then, before he had woken up, he had seen an image of this child. He had searched far and wide, and had found him in a different world. Zant didn't know how, but he had. He waited until the boy was asleep, then sent his shadow creature to bring him here. Zant looked at his sleeping form sadly. Maybe this person won't hate me...

Link was woken up by someone shaking him violently. "Dad, wake up! C'mon, you promised to take me to the lake today!" a young girl's voice said. Link groaned silently and turned over. He was nearly pushed out of bed. "Dad! Come on! Get up!" the voice pleaded loudly. Link sighed.

"Ok, Lily..." he muttered. "I'll get right up."

"You better," his daughter said, and Link heard his door close.

"Hurry and go," Zelda muttered from beside him. "I want to rest." Link grinned at his wife and got out of his bed. He changed into his green tunic and hat, and put on white pants. He put on his leather boots and strapped the Master Sword and Hylian shield to his back. Link yawned.

"See you later," Link said, and walked out of the bedroom. Lily was waiting outside the door.

"It's 'bout time you got up," Lily said. Link smiled at her. She resembled her mother so much. Lily had her mother's bright, sapphire eyes, and her long golden hair. She had her father's courage and determination, and his love for battle. Link remembered when Lily and Zelda had argued and argued about her learning swordplay from Link. Zelda thought that Lily wouldn't need to learn swordplay, that she was a princess and that she should focus on other things. Lily had apparently also inherited her father's stubbornness, as she refused to back down from her mother. Zelda had finally gave in, with a final word to Link that if she was injured, then it was at his own peril. He had just grinned sheepishly and had taken her to Lake Hylia to train her. Lily was a quick learner, and Link was happy for that. He had sensed that something bad had happened, and he would bet any amount of rupees that it was Ganondorf, yet again, who was up to no good, yet again.

"Let's go and get this over with so I can go back to sleep," Link said, and yawned again.

Lily snorted. "Lazy old man..." she muttered.

"What did you call me?"

Jon awoke, and knew instantly that he wasn't at home. His room was not made of rock, and his bed was bigger than the one that he was sleeping on. Jon stretched and yawned. He jumped when he heard someone speak. "Ah, you're awake now," someone said, and Jon looked around. He saw the man from his dreams, the robed man with the silver helmet. The helmet reminded Jon of a bug, because of the design.

"You..." Jon muttered. "You... died..."

Zant laughed. "I guess you had the same dreams as I did," he replied. "But, I haven't died yet. And, I need you to help me with some things."

"Like what?" Jon asked. "And where in blazes am I?" he said as he looked around.

"Just wait, I'm getting to that," Zant replied. "You are not in the same world as you once were."

Jon snorted. "No duh," he muttered sarcastically. Zant paused for a moment, then continued.

"You are here to help Hyrule in it's time of need," Zant told Jon. "Everyone needs you here. The only thing is, I was the only one who could get you here. And... well, let's just say I'm not the most popular person around." Zant shrugged sheepishly.

"What did you do?" Jon asked him.

"Too long of a story, but everyone will explain soon enough. The only way that Hyrule will survive is if me and you stick together," Zant told him hastily.

Jon looked suspiciously at Zant. "Why? You took me from my home. I don't know if I can trust you," Jon replied.

"You must!" Zant said, and moved his face right close to Jon's. "I'm the only one who knows what evil is lurking in Hyrule, and the only one who can take you back. You are the only hope for Hyrule. You hold the power to finally slay the evil that plagues Hyrule. I need to tell the king and queen about the danger that they are blind too, and you are the only one who can get me in there. We need each other. Don't you see?" Jon's eyes were wide with amazement.

"Hold up a moment," Jon said slowly. "I'm supposed to save a world that I don't even know about? How in blazes will I do that? I can't even use a sword or bow or whatever you people use here!" Jon sat up in bed. "This is cracked. Way cracked."

Zant smiled from within his helm. "That's where I come in. Now, I can't teach you about swordplay, but I can show you where you can learn. I will also give you a portion of my power," Zant replied.

Jon grinned at bit. "Well, where do I get my stuff?"

Zant waved his hand some clothes appeared on the bed. There was a midnight black tunic and pants, and a sword in a black scabbard. Jon looked at the clothes and sword in amazement. "Shweeeeeeeeeet," he said slowly. Zant put his hands together, then slowly spread them apart. A black ball with a pink center was in the center of his hands, the pink pulsating slightly. Jon stared at the ball like a little kid would stare at candy through a window. Zant suddenly moved his hands apart very fast, and the ball struck Jon in the chest. He gasped for a moment, then looked where the ball had struck him. There was no mark. "So, now what?" Jon asked after a moment of silence.

"Well, it's time to get you ready to save Hyrule," Zant said, and smiled from behind his helmet.

"Oh gods... please say it isn't them, dad," Lily pleaded as she saw a carriage coming down the path. It was coloured a bright orange colour, and the two horses that were bringing it closer and closer to them were a creamy white colour. "Please, please, please!"

Link could only grin sheepishly. "I don't know why King Holodrum and his son are here..." he muttered to his daughter, putting his sword away. "Try to act nice to him."

Lily snorted. "I don't like that little prissy prince. He's too... princelike." Link laughed at her face which was twisted into a scowl. "Why did he have to come..."

"Link!" A deep voice called from the carriage as it stopped near them. A tall, broad man, a good two heads taller than Link, stepped out of the carriage. He had short black hair and green eyes. His eyes glimmered as he looked at his friend.

"Hello, Rayne," Link said cheerfully, and the two kings hugged each other. Rayne, king of Holodrum, swept up the smaller king of Hyrule in a large hug. "It's been a while," Link wheezed.

"The last time I saw you, your daughter was naught but a wee baby," Rayne said, and smiled at Lily. She smiled back. Lily liked King Holodrum, or Rayne. He was a nice person. She just despised his son.

"And she has grown more beautiful, I think," said a voice from within the carriage, and Lily rolled her eyes. The prince of Holodrum stepped out slowly, like he was the most important person in all of Hyrule. Prince Arae had short black hair, like his father's, and had his mother's sapphire blue eyes. He wore a blue and gold tunic, and blue pants. He had a sword at his side. Arae smiled at her, and Lily forced herself to smile back. "How are you, Princess Lily?"

Lily hated that name. She was tempted to draw her sword, but thought better of it. "I'm just fine, Arae, and how are you?"

"Better now, since I have seen your pretty face," he commented, and smiled again.

Oh, can it, prissy boy, Lily thought. "You're so sweet," she said, and smiled back.

"Um, excuse me..." a voice said, and Lily turned around to see a tall boy standing behind her. He had brown hair that was longer than Arae's, and it was unkempt, but Lily thought that it looked nice that way on him. He was taller than Arae, and broader, and was wearing a black tunic and clothes. He had a sword at his side. "I saw you practicing some swordplay a while ago. Could any of you... teach me? I don't mean to be trouble, but I... am unskilled with a blade." He smiled at Lily, and she genuinely smiled back. He seemed like a nice guy, nicer than prissy boy here.

"I can teach you, if you don't mind getting taught by a girl," Lily replied, and grinned slightly.

The boy raised an eyebrow slightly. "Well, I guess." He grinned. He took out his sword, a well crafted long sword. "My name is Jon."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Jon," Lily replied. "My name is Lily."

"Oh no, the pleasure is all mine," Jon replied, and did a sweeping bow, almost mocking Arae. Lily tried to hold back her laugh.

"Jon, is it?" Arae asked and walked beside Lily. "What royal house are you from?"

Jon shrugged. "I isn't from a house of royals. I was too poor," he said with a mocking grin.

Arae nodded and sniffed disdainfully. "Come now, Princess Lily," he said to her, with an emphasis on the princess, "you don't have to teach this... boy." Lily rolled her eyes and walked over to Jon.

"Let's go. I'll teach you," she said, and smiled at him. Jon smiled back and looked at Prince Arae.

"You can come watch, uh... what ever your name is," he said to Arae.

"It is Prince Arae," he replied disdainfully, with an emphasis on the prince part.

Jon nodded. "Ok, Area, c'mon." Jon linked arms with Lily and grinned.

Lily looked at Jon and laughed. "Do you know who I am?" she said, mocking Arae.

"Nope," Jon replied, then winked at her. "But I would like to know." She just rolled her eyes and they walked a little distance away from the kings and prince to practise.

Arae watched the two walk away with burning eyes. "You cannot steal her from me, boy," he muttered, and spat on the ground when no one was looking.

X----------x----------X

Link held back a chuckle as Jon and Lily walked away from Prince Arae. That boy was arrogant, Link would give him that, and had a silver tongue. Link could see that Lily liked the boy. Perhaps she was infatuated with him. Jon seemed like a nice boy. "Well, that boy caught your daughter's eye quickly," Rayne said, and elbowed Link in the arm. "Seems like a nice guy."

"Yes, but your son doesn't seem happy," Link muttered back. Arae followed Lily and Jon with clentched teeth. "I think he's jealous."

Rayne laughed. "Well, he needs to learn that he'll have to earn things if he wants them, and right now, he'll need to win her heart himself if he wants her love," he replied. "Although, that Jon will be trouble for him. I can tell that they don't like each other already."

Link nodded. "So, how did you find me and Lily?" he asked Rayne.

"We went to the castle to visit you first, but Zelda said that you and Lily were here. So, Isabella stayed with Zelda and Arae and I came here to see you," Rayne said. "I don't think it's been too long."

Link shook his head. "No, the last time you came, Lily was about... twelve, I think? So, about two years ago. But, before that, you came when she was only three," he replied. "Do you think it's safe to leave the young 'uns here while we go up to the castle?" Link asked his friend.

Rayne paused a moment to think. "Yes, that would be fine. They can defend themselves," Rayne said, looking over to where Lily was showing Jon how to use a sword properly. Prince Arae watched them with cold eyes.

"Kids!" Link yelled at them. "We're going up to the castle! Be back before dark!" Link went over to his horse, Epona, and mounted her. Rayne went inside his carriage.

"Ok!" Lily yelled back. "See you!" Link waved goodbye as Epona trotted beside Rayne's carriage as it headed towards Hyrule Castle. She turned back to Jon. "Ok, now..."

"I'll duel you, Jon," Arae suddenly said. He stood up, his green eyes blazing as he drew his sword.

Jon grinned lazily at him. "Ok, but not to the death. I have a whole life ahead of me." Jon stepped backwards as Arae stood a few metres in front of him.

"I'll warn you now, I've been taught by the most skilled swordsmen in Holodrum," Arae boasted.

"And I'll tell you this," Jon said. "I've been taught by Princess Lily, the most skilled swordswoman that I have met so far." Jon looked at Lily and grinned, and she just shook her head in mock sadness.

Suddenly, the three of them heard an ear-splitting scream, and they turned fearfully to see something that chilled them to the bone.


Whoo! I love suspense. Don't you?

Jon: Nope.

Me: Well, just because you're in the story and you want to know what will happen to you...

Lily: Why are you talking to yourself?

Me and Jon: We aren't!

Link: Yes, you are. You and Jon are the same person.

Me and Jon: Can it, fairy boy.

Link: Gods, it's Mister fairy boy!

Lily: Yeah, yeah... review, so I can get outta this place already...
