"Long past were the wars. Today we see peace and virtue but it was a different tale back in days of old. One particular war rings inspirational to folk today, and that is the war of the final hero.

Many thousand years ago there was a beautiful princess. Her hair was the color of oak wood and her voice was that of legend. The kingdom was at war with the neighboring country and she was sent away with a guard of a thousand. Inside the valley of mist the warring army surrounded and slaughtered all but one knight. He and his princess retreated as far as possible until the remained on the highest standing rock there was within the valley.

The knight saw no odds in which he could get the princess to safety so he did his duty. He called down for a council with the leading general; feeling amused the general accepted and came forward to the front lines. The knight jumped down without a word to the princess and made a deal with the general.

Suddenly the army moved backwards half a league and waited. The knight returned to the princess and began to ready his armor. She ran up to him and asked with worry, "What deal have you struck with the general?" The knight replied, without stopping, "I am to fight his entire army of a hundred thousand for a day. If this is done he will set you free."

The knight raised his sword skyward and placed his other hand fisted onto his chest, the king's salute. The princess nodded and the knight walked steadily out to the field of his certain death.

The drums beat louder as the enemy army advanced towards him. The knight could feel his blood boil pump and surge. He was born for this, he was trained for this, and he was ready to die for this. He held his blade sideways and walked forward slowly, the pounding of footsteps echoed throughout the valley and possibly the world. The knight walked forward without hesitation and without fear. As the hundred thousand men came in for the final charge, time itself seemed to slow down.

The world held it's breathe as the knight took up stance and readied his sword for blood. In the final moments before battle began the knight shouted two words, the final words of his life. He shouted "FOR ZELDA!" Then time resumed and the green clad knight charged into battle."

A little boy bounced up and down on a bed and held tightly onto a pillow, with excitement he asked, "Well Grandpa? What happens next? Does the knight live and go off to marry the princess?" The old man sitting in the old chair laughed, "Nothing happens next, it's up to you to imagine it. That's how any good story ends."

"Now it's time for bed, go to sleep and dream about all the adventures a knight can have." Still grinning foolishly the little boy turned a bounced under the covers. The old man rose and bent forward to tuck in the child. The old man left the bed and was about the blow out a lantern when a small voice said "Hey Grandpa?" The old man turned, "Yes?" "Do you think I'll ever have adventures and be an epic hero like the green clad knight?"

The old man scrunched his eyebrows and thought about it a moment. After a bit of thought his curious look burst into a bright smile. "Why yes Link… I do think you're going to have wondrous adventures." He then bent over and blew out the lantern, plunging the room in darkness.

Link walked through the stone archway towards the school. He could see the littler kids playing in the maple tree. A few people his aged bumped past him on his way to class, but the only one who stopped to apologize was Elli. The flame color haired class role model and most popular person in school. Link nodded briefly before rushing past her.

The bell rang and all the stragglers ran inside. Link himself sat in the front of the room in the seat closest to the window. As the teacher dismissed everyone to sit down Link propped up his head on his hand and stared out the window day dreaming of anything other than class work.

Soon lunch came around and most people got up to leave. Link did the same, however instead of going to eat outside he slipped through the hole in the wall behind the building. He walked casually down market road whistling an old tune his grandfather taught him. The red tint of an apple caught his eye and link turned into a stall, without breaking the tune he motioned towards the apple and the vendor held up three fingers. Link reached into his rupee pouch and pulled out three green gems, he tossed them to the vendor, grabbed and apple and walked out of the stall.

He found a peaceful spot on a bench in the middle of town square. He bit into his apple and let the sweet taste fill his mouth. After finishing it to the core Link threw the apple behind him and didn't even bother to check if it made it into the trash bin, because he knew it was there, there was no better shot than him. Soon afterwards he drifted off to sleep.

To observers there was a loud thumped and Link rolled over the bench edge and onto the hard ground. He sat up grumbling and rubbing his head. He looked up and took note that it was almost time for school to let out. He began to head back towards the school building. Along the way, while he was walking, Link heard running footsteps in the alley way near him. He slowly approached it, and when he came just in front of it a girl burst out of it and ran into him. They both tumbled over.

Somehow she ended up beneath him. Link rubbed his head again and pushed up with his other hand. He felt something soft and round in his grasp. Fearing the worst he looked down to see that the girl below had been knocked out and he was in fact holding onto her… loaf of bread. He let out a sigh of relief and got up. Link sat backwards and stared at the girl for a moment. She had short deep brown hair with blue streaks running through it. Her height was a bit below average and her chest on the small scale. But to some she was a beauty.

He heard more footsteps coming down the alley when someone shouted "The girl went through here! After the twerp men!" Link shook his head while he got up and bent over to pick up the girl. He held her princess style and felt red faced as he walked down another dark alleyway towards his home, the dormitory.

Link set the girl down in his bed and sat down in his desk chair. Fortunately for Link he was the dorm senior and he had a single room for just himself. He got up and walked down the hallway to the kitchen to cook supper for the rest of the dorm block.

The girl stirred in her sleep and finally woke up a few hours later. She shot up out of the bed and looked around rapidly. Until her vision came to rest on Link, who was busy writing at his desk. "Who are you?" Link turned in his chair and closed the book he was writing in. He thought a long time before he finally said. "I'm the guy who saved you from the guards."

The girl's face went red for a moment before she lowered it and muttered something. "I'm sorry? What was that?" now a little louder she said, "Thanks, for doing that. You didn't have to." Link smiled, "I know, but I've been on that end of the guard chase before and it isn't fun to be caught, but now for reward." Link rose and walked slowly towards the girl with a look of longing on his face. The girl moved away until her back touched the wall. As Link got closer his face turned to a grin and he held out a plate of food in front of her.

Her fear died away and the girl grabbed the plate and began to shovel down food like a feast. Link sat back in his chair and waited for her to finish. "Done? Want some more?" The girl nodded vigorously and handed the plate back. Smiling, Link took the plate and began to walk out the door when the girl asked, "Hey, what's your name?" Link stopped in the doorway and replied, "Link, yours?" the blue haired girl bit her lower lip for a few seconds before finally saying. "I'm Navi, pleasure to meet you Link."
