Forgotten Legends by GlassSuicune

Note: The Legend of Zelda belongs to Nintendo. Orion and Teyla belong to me, GlassSuicune. Before you start reading, I think it's fair to warn you I'm using my own ideas in this story, so please don't review saying something I said is not true in the game. I have only played Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass, and haven't beaten either one yet, and I have only seen, not played, Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, and I barely remember them, so my knowledge of the Zelda series is horribly limited. Besides, I think it's more fun to make up my own ideas, anyway. This chapter is more or less a prologue, but since it was chapter length, it is now Chapter 1. Now...

"This" is speech.

This is narration or memory lane.

'This' is thought.

Chapter 1: Orion and Teyla.

Legend tells of a golden power sealed inside of one being, Ganondorf...

This golden power was known as the Triforce....

With it, the kingdom of Hyrule flourished...

But one day, darkness entered Ganondorf's heart...

And because of his thirst for power, the Triforce shattered...

Into three coloured triangles, red, blue, and green...

Red was Power, blue was Courage, and green was Wisdom...

Ganondorf kept the Triforce of Power, but Courage and Wisdom he lost...

For he was not good-hearted and courageous, nor was he wise...

Courage and Wisdom became sealed inside two other beings, Link and Zelda...

For Link was good-hearted and courageous, and Princess Zelda was wise...

Sealed away in a dark prison, Ganondorf plotted to regain the rest of the Triforce...

Whenever the seal broke, he would attack Hyrule and kidnap Zelda...

Usually making Link come out of hiding...

No matter what happened, Link and Zelda always won...

Why? Because Power is an empty triangle, for Courage and Wisdom are true power...

Ganondorf's power is shallow, for Link and Zelda command true power...

That was how it always was, Link and Zelda saving Hyrule...

But that can change in the blink of an eye.............

A young boy named Orion who looked to be about fourteen watched in horror as dark knights rushed through the village, burning down buildings and attacking all who got in their way. He covered his ears, trying desperately to drown out all the screams of the other villagers. He sank deeper into his hiding place, closing his eyes so not to see the burning streets.

Beside him was an injured girl named Teyla who was the same age as him. She was his best friend, and now the only person he cared about who hadn't died in the war. She couldn't see what Orion saw, the smoke had blinded her. But she could hear everything he heard. She made no attempt whatsoever to cover her ears, her arms felt too numb to move.

Nothing could be done, it was over. Ganondorf had finally won, because the two who were supposed to oppose him actually joined his side. The Triforce of Courage and of Wisdom were now against Hyrule. The odds were against the innocent this time.

Orion clenched his fists, the leather gloves making a creaking noise. Teyla only silently prayed, her voice almost unable to function properly. Hyrule needed a miracle, but with Link and Zelda's betrayal, none were in sight.

Suddenly, Orion and Teyla heard the sound of a sword banging on the brick near them. Orion cringed and Teyla held her breath, waiting for whoever dropped it to come to get it and find their hiding place. Nobody did. Taking his chances, Orion walked out from under the torn shed. No one was there, only a silver blade with a jeweled purple hilt lay there. Orion's eyes widened. It was the Master Sword! Hyrule did have a chance! The miracle happened!

'But still, it can't be THAT easy, can it?'

Orion took in a deep breath, and blew his burnt hair out of his face. Carefully and quietly he grabbed the sword, and then he crawled back under the shed. If the Master Sword just dropped out of nowhere, then Link was nearby. In the past, him being near was a good thing, but now........ it wasn't. As can be expected, the green clad 'knight' jumped down from a rooftop. He muttered, "Naturally I dropped the one thing the villagers can't find....."

Orion continued to watch him, growing more and more afraid. 'Of course it wouldn't be THAT easy....' Teyla listened carefully and said weakly, "It's him isn't it?" Orion placed his hand on her and gently pushed her into a darker area, answering her question.

"Stay here and don't move, Teyla. I'm going to fix this." Orion whispered. "He won't hurt me... Neither will she..." Teyla whispered back. Orion then noticed Princess Zelda standing beside Link. Which meant he had to leave now.

Gripping the Master Sword tightly, he slowly crawled out the other hole under the shed. When he was out, he immediately ran towards the bridge leading out of the village. Teyla heard him go.

"You dropped it? How on earth could you have dropped it?" Zelda scolded, "You klutz..." Link rolled his eyes. Zelda's eyes narrowed and she pointed in the direction of the bridge. "That person has it!" she cried. Link called Epona and the two jumped onto her and chased Orion. Teyla heard.

Orion could hear the sound of hooves beating on the brick, growing louder and louder. He forced himself to run faster. He had to make it to the mountain. He had to make it to the Time Crystal. With the Master Sword, he could destroy it, and seal all three Triforce holders away. If he succeeded, Hyrule -and Teyla- would be saved. He couldn't fail.

The determined squire jumped left and right as burning trees toppled over, some of the flames licking at his cloth and chain armour. He was then surrounded by five dark knights. Orion pulled his chipped iron sword from its sheathe and held it in his left hand, the Master Sword held firmly in his right. He then spun in a circle clockwise, cutting through the dark knights' armour with the Master Sword and then slicing their exposed skin with the weaker blade. He then spun counter clockwise, repeating the previous action, slicing through his foes' chests. They fell.

Teyla tried to move her arms, feeling a stiffening pain surge through them. "O...rio..n...don't....leave...me..." she said, unable to tell the volume of her voice. She moved her arms more, feeling the blood flow in them again. "I...said...I..would...sta..nd..by...you..." She felt almost dead, but a new energy was starting to revive her.

Orion sheathed the squire sword and jumped over a burning log, aware Link and Zelda were catching up. Orion stopped in his tracks when the ground began to shake. He could see Epona rear up and knock Link and Zelda off her back. Orion then looked over to the burning village, and saw, to his horror, Hyrule Castle sink into the ground in a fiery explosion.

Once it was over, Orion continued his mad dash, knowing Link and Zelda would come back after him. He ran across a rickety bridge, hoping it would not collapse. Once safely across, he encountered some more dark knights. Using the same strategy he took them down and then made it inside the tiny temple.

Link's eyes glowed pure white and he and Zelda disappeared and then reappeared in front of Orion. "What do you think you're doing?" Zelda asked Orion ever-so-casually. Link only glared. He and his ancestors never really said much. His line was more of a 'don't talk, do' family.

Orion tried hard to pull his gaze away from Zelda's cold eyes. So cold... He could see the Time Crystal up ahead on a pedestal. He then turned his gaze back to Zelda and said firmly, "I no longer serve you..." Zelda raised her eyebrow, her crimson eyes showing eerie amusement, as if laughing at what Orion just said. Link let out a sigh, his crimson eyes clearly showing annoyance, as if ticked off at Orion for causing him so much grief these past few minutes.

Without a second thought, Orion sliced Zelda across the stomach with his sword and knocked her in the jaw with his fist. Link ran beside the female elf and threw what appeared to be a metal star at Orion, who fell to his side trying to dodge. Shrugging off the attack, Zelda pulled an arrow out of her quiver and stabbed Orion in his side. Orion screamed in pain and scrambled to his feet.

Orion clutched his side, trying to will away the pain. He then unsheathed the Master Sword, making the adult elves freeze. That blade was the only thing that could kill them. Orion gripped the hilt tightly, as Link and Zelda leaned their necks to the left, trying to figure out how to take the sword without getting stabbed by it. Orion took a step towards them, half-expecting them to back away from the Time Crystal. They stood their ground.

Fighting his almost screaming conscience, Orion swung the Master Sword at Zelda's neck. Her eyes widened and she fell backwards trying to dodge. Link then pounced at him, banging him on the head with a shield. Though he was dazed, Orion successfully swung the sword in a complete circle, slicing both elves across their stomachs. They stood there as if unable to register what just happened. Then they collapsed onto the stone floor.

"And stay down....." Orion ordered. He then ran to the Time Crystal. "This will end it...." It would most likely end him as well, but that was a chance he was willing to take. Unbeknown to him and the elves was that Teyla had miraculously made it inside the temple.

Link and Zelda struggled to get back on their feet as Orion raised the Master Sword above the pure silver crystal. Before they could do anything, Orion shattered the Time Crystal, making it flash yellow, black, deep blue, red, green, and sky blue. As the lights grew to a blinding brightness, Teyla softly said "Light, Darkness, Water, Fire, Earth, and Wind......" The temple itself disappeared in the brilliant flash of colours....

And so, peace was restored to Hyrule...

The seals on the dark masters were tightened, others renewed...

What became of Orion, Teyla, Link, and Zelda is a mystery...

All that is known is they disappeared, along with the temple...

So, for two thousand years, Hyrule was no longer threatened by the dark masters...

But remember children, history repeats itself..................always.........................

Note: Well there ya have it, Chapter 1! Hope you liked it. Review please? Just don't flame. Also, please don't complain that I don't explain some things very clearly. I was being vague for a reason. Honestly, I liked how this first chapter turned out better then The Starlight Legacy: Colosseum's first chapter... You know, that monitor going out wasn't necessarily a bad thing. That couple of weeks gave me time to rethink some things. Anyways, I'm going to try to update not next week, but tomorrow. I feel bad about making anyone who actually cares wait. That, and I don't like Colosseum being ahead of this story, since they were supposed to start in the same week. I'll keep updating until Legends is caught up. Any who, to da loo!
