Chapter One: Link has a Dream
He was standing in the middle of the street, though he had no idea why nor did he seem to have the capability of moving out of the way. There was no sound but the steady patter of raindrops on the ashfalt and the occasional roar of thunder and lightning. He had never been to this place before, and there didn't seem to be any street signs indicating his position either... but maybe that was just because it was too foggy to tell. Or to see anything at all, for that matter.
Just what was this?
And why was he holding...a gun...?
Link had never touched a firearm in his life, let alone used one. And yet here he was, standing inexplicably in the middle of some deserted road holding a weapon he wasn't even licensed to use. Realizing this, he dropped it onto the pavement, hoping nobody had seen him with it.
In his other hand was something else: a cell-phone. Sure, he had used one of these before, but he didn't own one... there was no way he could afford --
"Get out of the way!"
He turned around instantly to the source of the yell to see a white car with a young woman in the passenger's seat. He had no time to respond as he ducked to the side and watched it blow past on his left. As the car sped away, he saw the young girl lean out of the window and toss something on the road behind her. It landed curiously right in front of his feet, almost as if he were meant to pick it up.
"A bus ticket?" he said to himself as he regarded the piece of paper in his hands. "Expires November 10th, 2014.... that's in seven years..."
Just then, he heard another motor coming from behind and was about to step out of the way when a black limo pulled up beside him. A man rolled down the vehicle's window and spoke to him.
"Did you see a white car pass by here just a moment ago?"
Link said nothing, afraid.
"Answer me, kid, or I'll have to use force..."
"No," he said, standing his ground. He wouldn't betray the girl to her persuers, especially since she just dropped a buss ticket at his feet that was good for another seven years...
The man opened the car door and stepped outside, removing his sunglasses to reveal a cool glare. He looked big and intimidating. Something told Link that gun might not be such a bad idea right now...
He reached down for the gun, but surprisingly, it wasn't there.
"Hands up."
Looks like the man had gotten to it first...
"Who are you?" Link stuttered.
"The name's Ganon," he answered, holding the rifle to Link's stomach. "Now, if you want to escape with your life, I suggest you point me in the direction of those girls."
Link slowly raised his hand in the direction opposite of where the white car had driven, hoping Ganon would fall for his bluff.
"I'll take your word for it," the man said, lowering the rifle and snapping it in two before climbing back into the limo. "If I don't find her, I'll be back."
Ganon rolled up the window and was gone.
