So… this is my first Zelda fanficton so if it's bad… I'm sorry. Another thing – in this story Zelda and Sheik are two DIFFERENT people, Sheik being a guy. (Yes, I know they ARE the same person in the game… which is why this is a fanficton) This is also a yaoi, meaning boyxboy relations. If you don't like it then you best leave now. Another thing, this is a Sheik/Link meaning Sheiks the seme and Link the uke. Once again – if you don't like it, then don't read it, and you might as well leave now. If you DO like it, then feel free to say – read a bit, maybe review it too. Sit back and enjoy the show.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time; but I DO own all 100 gold skulltulas, all four bottles, Epona, and the Biggoron sword. And you can't take them away from me! Well, unless you delete my game, but if you did that you'd be dead before you hit the ground. Any questions?

~Prologue~

Delude

One of the saddest experiences in life is watching a star shine brighter than ever and then burn out – banned from existence for ever. It leaves you feeling, hollow. Offended that none of the other stars seemed depressed at the loss of their companion… if anything, they seemed happy – shining brighter to fill the empty space, working together to replace something irreplaceable. Most of all though… you feel betrayed – betrayed because you lost everything in life and nobody seemed to care. And as I watched as Zelda stepped closer to me, arms outstretched I felt as if I just saw a star die. She smiled warmly before gathering my in her arms and I couldn't help but stop the tears from falling.

"You must be so happy." She whispered; rubbing – what she probably thought to be soothing – circles along my back. Happy? Why would I be happy? HOW could I be happy after having my heart ripped out and then stomped on?

"To think Link, I – one of your precious persons – was with you all along." She breathed, seemingly happy with this arrangement, "I assume you thought I left you seven years ago, and I was supposed to too. But… I couldn't... so I told Impa that she absolutely MUST let me go, and she did."

It was with those words that I wondered… would I have never felt the sting of betrayal had Zelda listened to her protector, would I have never felt… love? I wish Zelda would've been strong and stayed put instead of toying with my heart. Even so, I couldn't find it in myself to hate the women. She hadn't meant to hurt me, in her eyes if was for both of our benefits, and I suppose it was. I wouldn't ever want to loose that warm feeling I got in my heart whenever I spent my time with Sheik – no matter how much it hurts now.

"Zelda…" I murmured. Why is it I felt betrayed? They are the same person after all… I'm sure Sheik isn't just a random persona, but another someone inside her - a little bit of personality that she hasn't shown to the world yet. So… that must mean I like Zelda – the feelings hadn't been physical after all so the appearance change shouldn't make THAT much of difference… but it does. Everything about Sheik, from his lyre playing to his flawless skin, has – had – me enthralled - everything.

"Link… I-I think that I…" Zelda began and I mentally flinched, please – don't let her say she loves me… because I can never love her like that – this… ever.

"Link, what I'm trying to say is that I lo-" She started once again before there was a loud rumbling and the entire Temple of Time shook. Shocked, she released me and looked around.

"That rumbling… It can't be!" she exclaimed, and I could hear her voice go up an octave in fear. I looked around the room – trying to find an enemy and it was then that a pink crystal encased Princess Zelda.

"Princess Zelda… you foolish traitor." A voice resonated through the walls and I shivered. That voice… sounded suspiciously like Ganondorf's, "I commend you for avoiding my pursuit for seven long years. But you let your guard down… I knew you would appear if I let this kid wander around!" Ganondorf exclaimed and Zelda screamed, her head thrusting back as if Ganondorf had tugged on her hair – forcing her to look up at him.

"My only mistake was to slightly underestimate the power of this kid…" he said and Zelda and the crystal she was incased in began to rise up above me, "No… It was not the kid's power I misjudged; it was the power of The Triforce of Courage! But, with The Triforce of Wisdom that Zelda has… When I obtain these two triforces… Then, I will become the true ruler of the world!! If you want to rescue Zelda then come to my castle!" And then, Zelda was gone leaving only me and Ganondorf's laughter resonated through the temple.

Pushing my thoughts aside I hurried outside the Temple and to what was once the Castle of Hyrule. Now however, the castles once green land was barren and the white stone of the castle was gone leaving a horrid black castle in its place. It scared me, that Ganondorf had the power to change so much in such little time… and also, his castle was suspended in air – a pit of boiling lava beneath it. As I neared the castle, trying to figure just how I was supposed to get across I was greeted by Rauru, the Sage of Light's voice.

"Link… can you hear me? It's Rauru, the Sage. We six will combine out power to create a bridge to castle where Ganondorf dwells…" And then there was a flurry of lights – yellow, green, red, blue, orange, and purple – all of which combined to form a rainbow bridge leading straight to the entrance of the castle.

From the point of entering the castle and finally defeating Ganondorf is a blur to me- a jumbled mess of memories and emotions. I had gone through that final dungeon and battle in a watery haze – lost in that time and place. Why? I'm not really sure; maybe because all that once was and all that will be – the finality of the situation was getting to me… That day, inside Ganondorf's castle I felt the weight of my burden like never before.

Well, there you have it - a quick snippet of Link's emotions after being deceived by Zelda. Hope you look forward to chapter one! Please review – I'd appreciate it much. Feel free to ask any question you may have. Oh and, the chapters will BE longer – this is so short because it's the prologue.
