So, I'd like to say hello to the people who have actually chosen to view this story, I appreciate it very much :) It's a rewrite of my last story, TLoZ:BoA, that didn't go anywhere's really. Um...I don't know much else to say but that I hope you'll enjoy!
His surroundings were dark. Depressing. Horrifying. The land he stood on was scorched and tattered. The sky above was dark and foreboding. In the distance, the ruins of a castle looked out upon the land. Soon, he heard the hooves of a galloping horse. He turned around and saw Epona. He looked up to her rider, and locked eyes with his lifelong friend. Zelda.
She was dressed in her white sword-play tunic, chainmaile, and had with her a beautiful new bow and decorative golden arrows. Pauldrons he had never seen before covered her shoulders. He did not question why she was dressed for battle, but boarded Epona and took the reins. He kicked Epona's sides and yelled out a 'yah'. He did not know where he was leading them too, but he knew in his heart that it was the right place to go.
He, Zelda, and Epona traveled across the scorched land in the direction of the ruined castle. As they passed the remains of the land, he felt a burden placed upon his shoulders. A burden of saving this land he had never seen.
They soon arrived at the gates of the once great castle town, where he and Zelda dismounted their steed and headed in. They charged through the forsaken place and to where a great castle once stood. Cautiously, they walked up to where the great doors once were; rubble and ruin the only signs they were ever there. Stepping inside, the two headed to the center of what was once a great hall. He looked over to Zelda who seemed to be in a trance; a state of remembrance. A tear slid down her face.
"He's coming, Link." She said quietly. He drew his sword and shield and prepared himself for an attacker. He finally came.
The man was terrifying. His skin was a sickening green brown color, his hair a fiery red, and his eyes amber yellow. He had an extremely tall and buff figure. The man wore a black chest guard, pauldrons, and bracers to guard him. He did not intimidate Link, however.
The horrendous man laughed as Zelda and Link got into defensive stances. "Your world is already destroyed. What is the point if you fight for it? This place is under my rule, no longer yours, Princess. The Golden Power of the Triforce shall also belong to me. If you'd give it up now, I'd be so happy as to let you both leave with your lives. If not...well, I can obtain it the hard way." He said with a smirk.
"I will never give you my power, nor will Link. And we'd rather die protecting it than giving it up to a monster such as you." Zelda spat at him. The man frowned.
"Very well then. Have it your way." The man snapped his fingers and a sword appeared within his hands. He raised it to Zelda, but Link jumped in the way. He defended himself, but the force of the blow knocked him down. He looked up to see Zelda and the man's confrontation. Zelda's bow had proved to be useless as defense and as attack. The man raised his sword. Terror filled Zelda's eyes. He swung the sword and-
Link jerked up right. He took in his surroundings and found that he was in his bed. He slowed down his breathing and realized that it was just a dream, though it had seemed like something... more. Link wiped the cold sweat from his face and arms and looked about once more. He was in his home, in his little loft, in his sanctuary. He was safe.
With that thought, he relaxed and slowly fell back down onto his pillow. As he closed his eyes, preparing for sleep once more, another thought popped into his mind. His eyes snapped open and he was instantly awake. Zelda. He quickly jumped to his feet and opened the door to the small balcony just outside his loft.
Link wrapped his shaking hands around the railing of the balcony and looked down and around to the ground below. He looked to the sky to judge the time; it was about 10:30. Zelda should be here by now. He became panicked once more and just as he turned to head inside, he heard a call from below.
"Hey! I was just coming to wake you; I'm surprised you're up."
Link nervously chuckled as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Yeah, well, I just, ya know decided that I wanted to wake up early and so I well, woke up...heh..." Zelda just starred at him, not believing a word he said.
"Right. Now go put some clothes on and meet me at the stables; you've got work to do." Link nodded as Zelda walked off towards their little village of Ordon. Link briefly thought back to the dream -correction, nightmare- that he'd had. Nightmares had been coming to him more frequently in the past few months than they ever had, so it was nothing, right? Besides, he and Zelda were fine, so it didn't matter.
He headed back inside and climbed down his ladder to the main part of his home. He went over to his dresser and opened up the cabinet. Reaching inside, he grabbed one of his worn, old sleeveless white tunics, an orange and blue waist wrap, and a belt. He put on his shirt and wrap and secured them in place with his belt. As he rushed to the door, he slipped into a pair of short boots.
Link opened the door and stepped outside into the fresh morning air and smiled. He loved the morning time, though he loved sleep more. After taking in the morning, he climbed down his ladder and jumped to the hard dirt ground. The dream still haunted the back of his mind as he walked into their village. It had felt so...real. It was so vivid that he knew it had to mean something. But what?
