*DISCLAIMER* I do not own the game or characters of Link the Legend of Zelda so no one try and give me a law suit
The wind blew softly against the trees. The leaves rustled as the wind gently kissed them. They glowed in the light of the full moon. There was not a cloud in the sky to cover the vibrant stars. The moon glowed over each roof top in the village. People were sound a sleep, except for one person.
Link struggled with his bed sheets. His eyes squished in stress. His mind was going into a world of all its own. The world was the light of a fire. Link looked into the fire and saw a figure. The figured danced into a vision. A vision of beauty; the vision was of a woman. Her long red hair danced as she moved with grace. Her blue eyes washed over Link like the waves of the sea. Her black dress flew around the slender curves of her body. Suddenly she fell to the ground. Tears were in her blue eyes. A loud crack of a whip woke Link up from his vision.
At this time the sun was shining and the bird were singing the praise of the glorious day. Link sat up in bead and held his head. His golden hair glistened in the sunlight that leaked in from the window. His strong muscular chest heaved up and down with deep breaths. He was quit disturbed with his vision.
Link got up from his bed and stepped into the shower. He then put on his cloths and walked out the door, but not without his sword. He walked into town and smiled at every passerby. Everyone in town knew of his power and fame. Many people would send their daughters to him for his hand. Even some women threw themselves at him for his hand. Link was flattered, but he was not interested. He hated the idea that women only want him for his fame; to be known as the wife of the great legend. He often thought about princess Zelda. He missed her very much. Her father sent her away to school three years ago. She was due back any day now. He was hoping that her passion was still burning for him.
The town was filled with strange people dressed with vibrant colors and glittering bells. Link realized the gyps were in town. He enjoyed their color and games. It was going to be something new to his normal life, and he was able to meet people who may not care what he has done for the world.
"You look like you have questioned to be answered," said an accented voice from behind a tent. Two green eyes glowed in the darkness. Link walked towards the tent and then slipped in. Link gasped din shock in what he saw. Before him was a red headed beauty. Her green eyes flashed playfully as she tangled her fingers in her shimmering pink dress.
"Zelda you are back," Link said as he picked her up in his arms. Zelda giggled and kissed his cheek. "I am so glad to see you. It has been a long time."
"I know," Zelda whispered.
The two talked about adventures and school.
"You will be coming to the ball tonight wont you," Zelda asked.
"I would never miss it," Link promised. Link leaned closer and closer to her lips, but the sound of scattering gypsies was reaching his ears. He grabbed her by the hand and led her out from underneath the tent. They giggled with excitement or the thrill they just had. Link led Zelda through the secret passage that they discovered a long time ago. Link walked back to his country home.
Link entered the lightly light castle. He felt sort of silly not having a maiden on his arm, but he knew Zelda would soon be there. He stepped into the great hall. People were wonderfully dancing across the floor. The King sat at his thrown with Zelda happily at his side. Link felt a tiny tug on his white sleeve. A beautiful maiden with blonde hair giggled as she turned red. Her blue eyes tried hard to look into his, but they constantly lost focus. She finally got the nerve to ask Link to dance. Link accepted; he was sure Zelda would not mind. He also thought of how playfully he was teasing her jealous female mind. Zelda giggled as she watches him dance with the blonde maiden. The maiden was very clumsy, but Link enjoyed her laughter.
Loud trumpets sounded as people left the dance floor. The King took Zelda's hand and they both danced on the empty floor. The two were extremely graceful dancers. They would have to be with the lessons that Zelda had taken, and the many dancing parties that the King always held at his castle. The dance ended with a bow and the King calling for everyone's attention.
"I must tell you that it is wonderful to have my daughter back from her studies," the King started, "I am also glad to announce that my daughter has chosen a husband". Link's heart jumped into his throat. He started to walk forward in his normal proud fashion.
"I am glad to introduce," the King started, "Lord Anthony".
Link's stomach fell at the words. He looked at Zelda as she embraced her knew boa. Links thought about her touch and kiss this afternoon in the tent. It was such a passionate kiss on his cheek. Link was disgusted and couldn't look at her anymore standing arm and arm with Anthony. His black hair was neatly pulled into a ponytail. His blue coat was glittered with silver and pins of shivery. Link knew he was jealous, so he steps out on the balcony. He let the wind brush through his semi long hair. He looked at his vest and saw no pins representing his courage. He saved this village and the world, but he had nothing to show for it. He clasped his hand against his sword. He realized he didn't need pins to tell him of his worth. His worth was what he has done with the sword. He save many lives and that was enough for him, but he wanted more.
"I was hoping you didn't leave," Zelda's soft voice danced over the wind. Link looked at her direction then turned towards the moonlight. "Are you not going to say anything?"
"What do you want me to say?" Link whispered harshly.
"Well congratulations would be a start,"
"How am I supposed to? You leave without saying good bye, and you expect to be happy for you. I still thought you cared about me," Link fought his tears. His fists still clenched his sword.
"I still care for you, but my heart belongs to Anthony,"
"Then you should go to him," Link turned away and listen to Zelda's feet clapping against the ground.
Zelda latched onto Anthony's arm as she greeted many of the guests. Suddenly the room went dark as well as the light from the moon. A ghostly figure floated down before the people. It was a body of a man so thin each of his bone could be seen. His yellow eyes gleamed like the moons on a fall night. His body was naked and thin.
"What a lovely party," the figure laughed, "I wish I was invited." People looked at with horror. "I hear to take rule of this place. This world shall belong to the shadow demons!" He let out another shrill of laughter.
Lightning flew from a glowing sword. Link held on to the sword as it created even more energy. The man looked at Link with hungry yellow eyes.
"These lands are under my protection," Link said boldly as he sneered in Anthony's direction.
"I am not here to kill anyone, but to warn you of the great war that we are planning, good bye our victims," the man left with a shrill of laughter.
The mist of the body floated through a woman's body. She fell to the floor from exhaustion. Link went to the woman. She was not responsive. Link ordered her to be taken to his honored guest quarters. Link followed the servants up to his honored guest room. It had been a long time since he had been in there. The King gave it to him when he dated Zelda. Now he planned to use it for saving another's life. The servants stripped her of her garments, and put her into clean cloths. Link was sure to look away. He was interested in her connection to the incident, but he was not about to let her loose her dignity. She was laid into the bed, as Link watched her rest.
