I do not own The Legend of Zelda and this is merely an original fanfiction for the series. R&E&R
The hardheaded youth ran off into the woods of old, beyond even the edges of the Ordon province, into ancient forests of older magic. The air was thick with wild magic. Gnarled roots and knotty trees made a distinct change from the familiar woods of his childhood.
"Damn.." he panted as he stopped, catching his breath. Ten steps in and he was lost. He got up, and spun around, trying to find the way back. He wasn't afraid of the 'skull kids' as he didn't even believe them, but he wasn't foolish enough to believe he could survive against a record of zero returns.
Suddenly, he heard a hiss seep out from everywhere around him. A chill ran up his spine, followed by the goosebumps and the adrenaline. Six of the 'fabled' skull kids approached him, ready to repel his intrusion into the Sacred Woods. They leaped at him, armed with knives.
The Youth turned and ran again, hoping he picked the right direction...

He continued to run, dodging the trunks and roots and foes. His feet came to a swift stop upon reaching the small meadow: Fairies. The magical little creatures floated around a sword handle sitting above a small platform or pedestal, while most of the blade was in it.
"What..?" the Hylian whispered to himself. He approached and found that the sword was faintly glowing.
He reached for the handle and the fairies all but scattered. His hand took grip of the sword and, with a single massive effort, ripped it from its pedestal. A wave of energy manifested from the hole in the pedestal and threw the Youth back. Hundreds of sinister voices filled the air, whispered and sneered for several seconds and then vanished.
Silence. That's all he could hear, his breath and heart beat, but nothing else. His mind lost awareness and when he woke up again, he was at the edge of the village. What had he unleashed...?
