Alright, so this is my new story, and I must I really enjoyed writting this! So please R&R if you can. It would be greatly appreciated :D.
DISCLAIMER : I DO NOT OWN ANY LEGEND OF ZELDA GAME OR ANY OF IT'S CHARACTERS. THIS IS PURELY FAN-MADE.
It was a beautiful day in Castle town, the kids were playing in the streets, villagers were passing by and salespeople were selling. A day like any other.
A young girl wearing a dark violet cape was passing by, unnoticed. Her golden brown hair and long hylian ears hid under her hood. Her light blue, almost purple eyes were shifting one side to the other. She was searching for someone.
She tapped on a young boy's shoulder.
"Oh hey princess N-!" He stopped as a mouth came over his mouth.
This young boy had slightly long jet black hair. His bangs, falling forward over his dark brows, hid somewhat his piercing green eyes. His nose, for some reason was covered with a plaster.
"Aidan!" She whispered angrily, "Don't blow my cover. If father knew I was outside of the castle, he would surely scold me!"
"Alright, alright!" He said holding his hands up in defeat. "I'll be quiet."
"Good!" She smiled.
This young girl was indeed a princess. She was the daughter of the king and queen of Hyrule, and the next heir to the throne.
Her parents didn't let her outside of the castle area, for they feared their little girl might be hurt. But like her father's old self, she was a bit of a rule-breaker..
"Come on!" She said grabbing the young 8 year old's hand. "We're going to be late!"
The two kids squeezed through a crowd of people and stood in front of the dirt road.
The Hyrule knights were coming back to the village, and they held a big ceremony. Aidan's father was one of them and so, they didn't want to miss this event.
Just as the knights passed by, a strong wind rushed and pulled the young girl's hood off, letting her light brown hair flow freely in the wind.
"It's the princess!" Screamed a villager.
Just as she tried to run away, a strong hand picked her up and held her on his shoulders.
"Let me go! Let me go!" She said, struggling to get out of the knights iron grip.
"I can't. King's orders." He said firmly.
As he walked towards the castle, she screamed.
"I'm sorry Aidan! I'll make it up to you, I promise!"
7 years later.
"Princess, wake up wake up!"
"Ugghh .. Wha-what is it?" Asked a young 15 year old girl, rather sleepily.
"Miss, you're mother demands you go visit her in the royal garden." Said a young brunette dressed in a maid's uniform.
"Oh.. Thank you Bea" She said, gracefully coming out of her bed, "Tell her I'll be out in a couple of minutes."
"Very good, Miss Nali." She bowed before she closed the door behind her.
Nali was the name of this young teenager, she was named after a fairy that used to accompany her father, called Navi.
She sighed, sat on her Victorian styled vanity and combed her long hair while looking in the mirror. She hadn't changed a lot since 7 years ago. Still had her father's beautiful light brown hair and her mother's cream complexion.
Although people say she did not look like the queen, and that she looked more like her father, once they got to know her better, they could see she was just as graceful and quiet like her mother. But also outgoing and adventuring like her father.
Once she got all dressed in her blue dress, she added the finishing touch to her hair : A shiny, silver butterfly clip.
"All done!" She smiled happily as she made her way to the garden.
Her mother was quietly reading her book while sipping on her tea.
Her sapphire eyes intensely focused in her reading.
"Queen Zelda, your daughter is here." Said one of the maid's.
"Oh, there you are Nali. I have to talk to you about something." She said motioning her to sit.
"You're father and I are leaving town and are only coming back at the end of the week." She stated. "We need you to stay here and make sure nothing goes wrong in the village."
"Really?" She asked smiling widely. "The castle all to myself? This is going to be great! No one to tell me what to do, what to eat, what to wear!" She thought to herself.
"Yes, well, although you will be guarding the castle, you will not be alone." She said. Nali's smile faded. "The Hyrule knights will be guarding the outdoors, the maids will be here as well and I also asked your older cousin, Elias, to watch over you."
"Mother!" She fumed, "I'm a big girl now. I don't need anybody to babysit me, I'm almost sixteen! I can take care of myself."
"Yes bu-" Her voice was cut off by another familiar voice.
"She's right Zelda,"
"Link!"
"Daddy!" They both said in unison.
The tall, blue eyed man, known as the legendary hero walked inside the wooden gazebo, "She's old enough to take care of everything by herself. Maybe we could let a few guards down."
Nali stood up from her chair and ran towards her father,
"Oh thank you, thank you, thank you daddy!" Nali said, as she embaced him in a hug.
"Oh, alright." Sighed Zelda "I guess we could have less knights on duty, and I guess Elias can stay home. But, the maids stay!"
"Thank you mother! This is the best!" She said skipping the way back inside the castle.
Zelda looked at her husband with a worried expression on her face.
"Don't worry honey," He said reassuringly "She'll be fine."
"I know.." She said taking another sip of tea, "I just don't want her to get hurt."
Please review and tell me what you think, and if I should change anything! And don't worry if it's a bit confusing with the flashback's and everything. You will understand in the next chapters to come.
Oh and just to make it clear since I didn't put it in the story, Nali has bangs like Link in twilight princess. She doesn't wear a crown that pulls her hair back like Zelda.
