In a Realm beyond sight,

The sky shines gold, not blue,

There the Triforce's might

Makes mortal dreams come true.





Before I begin chapter one I would like to say that if I had one chance to send in any of my fics to be published…..



This would be that fic.

I have worked for over a year on this fic, and I would like YOU to enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing/typing it. And I also hope that one-day, when I am older and this fic is so popular that ANYONE (particularly someone who works for Nintendo) has read it, that it may be published and that it might (yet I seriously doubt) even be turned into a movie.

That is my dream…..





Chapter one

Do or do not. There is no "try".

-Yoda





Artemis sat on her hammock, Her baby sister Sunny on her lap, Her blonde, curly hair shimmering in the bright sunlight. She was just about to doze off, until she heard the sound of wagon wheels and trotting horses.

" He's here!"

Artemis picked up Sunny, who seemed annoyed at being disturbed from such a warm and comforting spot, and ran past the well on the grass, wet from the morning dew. She hid behind a tree and let Sunny down on the grass, who sighed a small sigh, wondering why Artemis hadn't left her on the nice, cozy hammock. Artemis came out from behind the tree and crossed her arms.

" I've been waiting for you forever!"

The man stopped his cart and turned to her.

"Funny," he said, " I see no signs of aging on you at all. And you've been waiting forever, you say? Perhaps next time you should use your brain and count how long you wait."

Artemis put an offended look on her face. The man chuckled for a while, at least until Artemis smiled.

" Good thing you're not the Kerrigan boy, or else I would have spoken more harshly!"

The man, cloaked in red, came down from his cart, still smiling.

" Sometimes I think you are too mean to Vowles, Rauru, even though he does seem as bemused as a fence post." Said Artemis.

Rauru looked around at the village. Once known as Kakariko in the 1100's, the name was changed to Merrenshire in the 1500's, after civil war among Hyrule and for religious reasons. Rauru turned his attention back to Artemis.

"Well," he said, "let me take a look at you two."

Artemis brushed the bangs out of her eyes and straightened her milk white dress. Sunny, however, made a pillow out of the grass next to her and lay her head down upon it.

"Sunny!" said Artemis, looking at the tired infant, "Sunny, that is very rude. You've slept for half the day today! There must be something you can do besides act like a breathing pillow."

"Gabble!" Sunny said in some form of gibberish, as babies often say. Artemis ignored her protesting sister's remarks.

"So…" said Artemis, turning back to Rauru, " What news do you bring of the outside world? I want to know everything!"

"Well, there is a bit of trouble of in Elrock…"

Artemis did some sort of dramatic gasp.

" Elrock? Are Poseidon and Amphetrite all right?" Artemis asked rather fast, making it hard to understand her

.

" Who, the Doheimei twins? I thought they lived in Termina, Land of the West."

" No," said Artemis, " That's their older brother and sister, Lilly and Juno. They have a band out near the ocean, and rarely come to Hyrule at all anymore since…" she trailed off, leaving a dazed look on her face. " Since… well, you know…"

" Since all of your parents died." He ended for her. There was a long silence, except for Sunny's loud snoring.

"Yes…" said Artemis faintly.

" Well, there's no reason to pout over things that are in the past. I should know." Said a smiling Rauru. Artemis smiled back, yet in her heart she felt that her friend's parents, and her parents, were not killed over coincidence. She knew, deep in the black of her heart, that it was more than that…







Chapter two

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
