Well, where most Zelda stories go, this one goes completely in a different direction. It occurs eight years after the events of Majora's Mask. In this fanfic, some rulers (relatives of Princess Zelda) of other kingdoms come and have a little family reunion at Hyrule Castle.
Everything goes wrong there. But I shall not ruin the story for you. See it to yourself. I have certainly made this fanfic an interesting one. Although it is a bit on the fast side, it is not a rushed story. It makes up with well thought-through descriptions.
Enjoy… or else…
A black raven swooped across the night sky. It curved and flew its way above the path to Hyrule Town. Soon, the midnight café windows and the bars were in sight. The raven ignored them and flew onward. It flew into the front field of Hyrule Castle and narrowed its eyes on the bright, shining windows in the moonlight. It landed on a pillar and watched the window.
Inside the castle, there was a long table, with plates covered with bread, pasta, and soup. On the left side of the table were six chairs filled with men. On the right side, there were six more chairs, filled with women. At the head of the table was a big chair with a woman sitting upright in. Across from her was another big chair, with a chubby old man with a white beard.
One of the women from the left side asked to the woman at the head, "Dearest cousin Zelda, have you bothered to even consider a partner for the ball?"
Zelda replied, "Not really, Emma. But I was thinking about taking Link…"
"You know what I think about him." One of the men said. "He's a peasant, he won't fit in."
"Well, he's a good friend!" Zelda snapped viciously.
"That doesn't change anything." The man calmly said back.
All the people at the table were silent for a moment, chewing on their food. When they were finished, Zelda clapped her hands and a group of butlers came down the hall and took the plates.
Everyone rose out of their chairs, pushed them in, and walked away, down the halls to their bedrooms.
Zelda followed Emma, who was a radiant girl, with blonde hair and a white dress. She looked almost exactly like Zelda herself, except for the color of her dress and the way her hair was: curled. Unlike Zelda's, which was straight and smooth.
"Emma, what do you think of me taking Link to the ball?" Zelda asked, on her side, heading down the west wing.
Emma sighed, her blue eyes glowing in the hall that began to darken more and more every time they went one step.
"I'm not sure," She started, "But I'm going to have to agree with James. I'm sorry Zelda, but Link is definitely not going to fit in at the ball, I mean, what's he gonna wear?"
Zelda thought for a moment. Her mind coursed throughout her memories. She finally answered, "Couldn't your brother Matthew lend him some garments for the ball?"
"Well, Matt would most likely repel it." Emma laughed.
They were silent for a moment, as lightning struck through the window, causing Zelda to speak again for the sake of the silence.
"Have you ever heard of Ganondorf?" She randomly asked, as another flash of lightning went through the window.
Emma turned to her with a frightened face. "We are not going to talk about this." She said, disgusted, as she turned the next intersection of corridors. "Goodnight!" She angrily said to Zelda almost halfway down the hall.
Zelda thought it would be best to not follow her.
Emma looked at the sun-dial clock on the wall. It was midnight. She couldn't remember exactly where her room was, and had gotten lost in the corridors for the past half-hour. She regretted pushing Zelda away in the halls, all because she brang up the topic of Ganondorf.
She knew him well enough. The evil king. The one who had chased Zelda out into the Gerudo Desert along with Impa, where they lost him in her kingdom. She remembered those scary red eyes staring at her through the trees one night when she was ten, and she never forgot that. It was a paralyzing experience.
This reminded her of that, as she rummaged through the hallways, attempting to find her room. At last, she reached it.
When she turned the key, she heard a screech. Frozen in fear, her body pivoted behind her. But what she saw was not the fear of her dreams, but something very peculiar, and interesting… a raven.
The raven sat on the floor, watching her with its eyes, which strangely illuminated with a dark red… redder than Ganondorf's stare. She felt relieved, but, then the raven's eyes narrowed.
She felt something creeping up on the ceiling. She couldn't see it, for it was too dark, but she could see its eyes. Its yellow eyes, and a menacing stare.
A gruesome looking tail with a black coating floated down from the ceiling. It had a steel blade on the end of it. Emma couldn't scream. She was too scared, too paralyzed.
The raven squawked, and the blade came down to her neck.
The last thing she remembered before her death was the raven squawking, as if giving orders to the creature to kill her. She never knew what it was doing, even with the Goddesses, for they didn't even know.
Emma's head slowly fell from her shoulders, leaving a bloody stump there, along with some vein scraps. The head rolled onto the floor, and the body fell down, leaving a pool of blood.
The creature's eyes shut, and the raven flew down the darkened hallway. No one knew of Emma's death until the next morning. That's when havoc struck Hyrule Castle.
Hope you enjoyed the first chapter. This was hard for me to type, since I was in a dark computer room with the lights turned off at midnight on Halloween. It was filling my mind with paranormal activity.
Enjoy this. I will make more of this soon.
