Special thanks to Flames Chaos and Wolf for letting me use his original character: Luke Smith!

Legends of a nameless world rest in Hyrule. Once there was a grand place where light and darkness came together and lived in peace. This place had been called the Twilight Realm.

The princess of the realm had died at the hands of her brother. Once the ruler was gone, the world fell apart, sinking into darkness, taking down everything that lived in the Twilight.

But they lived. They all still lived, stuck in time. The princess's brother became one with the dark arts and found his way into the world of light. To bring back his own world, to bring it back to it's former glory, he'd have to break the seal placed upon the gate.

"Who're you? Name yourself!"

He killed the good king of the land of light. He did not stop until he had complete control of the castle in Hyrule. All the soldiers, servants and even the guard dogs were under his command.

"Find me these seven maidens!"

The soldiers were sent to the nearby villages and captured six maidens. Each was a descended of the sages who'd sealed the gate long ago.

"Only six...Where's the seventh?"

"Here."

The soldiers brought forth the lifeless body of the Hylian Princess. She'd been trapped in time, almost as long as the land of Twilight fell into darkness. Her soul was gone.

"Ahh...Of course. You three, come with me! We're going to get the one who holds the princess's soul!"


"Come on, Lara!"

"I'm coming!"

Lara ran after her friends. They were all at the park today, having a water balloon war. Lara entered the path leading into the woods.

"Guys?" she called. No one replied. "An ambush, huh?"

She walked farther along the path. Still no one showed up or answered her, she was starting to get worried. There was a snap of a branch, she whirled around and gasped.

A tall man in a suit of armor stood in the middle of the thin path, completely blocking her way back. She turned around and found another man in armor standing on the path as well.

To her left there was a third man in armor, she only had one escape now. She turned again and stopped dead in her tracks. A man in green robes stood in the way of her last escape. His face was white with bright red eyes.

The men in armor closed in on Lara and held her still. The man in green stepped forward and looked right into Lara's blue eyes.

"This is the one," he said. "Not a day older, are you?"

"Who're you?" Lara asked. "Let me go!"

"And still overly demanding."

"Let her go, Agahnim!"

The man in green looked up and smiled a grim smile. Lara turned to see a boy with jet black hair and storm-cloud-gray eyes. He couldn't have been more than nineteen. He wore a gray shirt and gray pants. In his hand, pointed directly at the man in green, was a gun.

"Go ahead," Agahnim laughed. "Shoot and risk killing her instead of me!"

The boy looked from Agahnim to Lara, unsure of what to do with the risk of killing the wrong person. This second of hesitation was all Agahnim needed. He lifted a hand, yelled something and then there was a flash of light.
