|| Chapter 1 ||

||A walking burden, can't you see you're sinking?||

'I was born a year after Michael– my brother – was born. He had every right to follow in our father's footsteps; he had every right to become the Hero of Twilight or just the 'Chosen Hero' of some sort. But of course, we didn't even know our parents were the heroes at the time and I only found out once I met with the Hero's Shade, who was apparently the Hero of Time. A journal, a sword and shield was his parting gift for me, and her secondary bow and quiver of arrows, as well as a monochrome hood were hers. '

Faith sighed, closing the black, leather journal and stuffing the pen and said journal in her satchel as delicately as possible. She was currently sitting in Telma's bar, looking at her map and trying to locate the next temple to pursue.

"Faith!" The girl clad in a monochrome tunic raised her head from its previous position, only to be – almost – strangled by a girl that owns a whole arsenal of books at her home in Castle Town.

"S-Sage, I need a-air." Faith stuttered, patting the girl's right shoulder in an attempt to break free. Sage gasped, before letting her go from her very tight grasp, murmuring a silent 'sorry'.

The monochrome clad girl took a deep breath before smiling at Sage and brushing it off with a small giggle.

"Well, if it isn't Faith and Sage?" Telma walked in and shut the door behind her with a wooden crate in her hands. "Hello, Telma." Faith greeted before facing her brunette friend.

"Hmm. . . I wanted to say something . . . Oh, right! Have you heard? Apparently they're going to burn a witch at the pyre later on today." Sage stated and the blue eyed girl frowned.

Maybe I have some of those red ice arrows on me.

"I actually think that the witch is Charlotte." Sage murmured, but it was loud enough to snap Faith out of her thoughts. Faith looked at her quiver – that can hold 100 arrows – and gave out a breath she didn't know she was holding.

There were a few fire and ice arrows in her dark purple quiver – thankfully - as the glint of the crystals that seemed to be attached to the arrows were able to be seen. A few normal arrows were in there as well, so that would be helpful if she needed to snipe her way out.

"Oh, honey, you're thinking 'bout saving the poor girl, aren't you?" Telma inquired, shaking her head and laughing, "Oh, of course you are. Your father had the same look on his face when he was eyeing Illia the first time he came to the bar."

Faith looked away and hoped that no one would mention her family ever again, or at the very least, not until she gets them back.

"His expression practically screamed 'I should save her' or something else heroic. Those blue eyes could match those of a feral beast." Telma ended, placing the last bottle of wine under the counter and walking over to the two girls.

"Thanks for the comparisons between my father and I, Telma. Not like anyone has done it before." Faith muttered sarcastically but thankfully, the bartender didn't hear her. Sage looked back and forth between the two before scratching behind her ear sheepishly and pulling Faith out of her seat.

"Well, Telma, Faith and I want to catch up on reading, so we'll get going. See you!" The overly cheerful girl grinned, before pulling the –now- depressed girl out of the bar. Once outside, Sage sighed, "I thought you were past this angst-y phase."

"I am. I just can't help withdrawing back into a shell when someone compares me to them. 'Oh, you're just as brave as Link!' and 'Oh, you can shoot just as skillfully as (Name)!'" Faith raised her voice towards the end, frustrated, before sighing and leaning back onto the grey, brick walls.

"It's cool having the 'Hero and Heroine of Twilight' as your parents, but it gets very annoying soon enough. It's basically a walking burden that gets heavier over time." The girl gave out a tired and exasperated sigh, before pulling up her hood – that was as black as her tunic – and running her hand over the white hem of it.

She pushed herself off the wall and climbed the stairs, before stopping abruptly and looking back at Sage, who was practically frozen in place.

"Let's go." When she said that, the librarian of sorts snapped out of her thoughts and looked at her with a confused expression etched onto her face.

"What?"

"Well, you said you wanted to read up on things, right?" Sage took a while, but eventually chuckled, before nodding and racing up the stairs and out onto the streets.

"Do you have any book in mind?"

Faith thought for a while, before smiling lightly. "That green book. Hyrule Historia."

In the Twilight Realm, trouble lurked in every corner and discord seemed to erupt every minute.

In the throne room, a sorceress smirked, looking into the crystal orb only to lay her eyes on our beloved Hero of Twilight. A woman that was around his height stood beside him and she glared, suddenly feeling the urge to take the Hero all for herself.

She then knew at the time, that she had to have him. She had to have him all to herself, even if that meant corrupting him to his core. She would kill for him. Not even the Twilight Princess or that meddling Heroine could stand in her way.

The sorceress licked her lips at the blood that would be shed and the thought of having the Hero all to herself, with no one to save him. His corruption would be so much easier here in the Twilight.

She looked back into the crystal ball, only to find that it is showing her someone else. It was a girl clad in a monochrome tunic and equally black hood. She seemed . . . frustrated.

"'Oh, you're just as brave as Link!' and 'Oh, you can shoot just as skillfully as (Name)!' I mean, it's cool having the 'Hero and Heroine of Twilight' as my parents and all . . ."

The sorceress threw the crystal ball against the stone walls, rage and desire building.

She couldn't believe what she just heard and saw. That girl had the same fierce blue eyes as the Hero. She called the Hero and Heroine her parents.

"No. No. No! That Hero of Light is mine! He will be mine . . . even if I have to take that precious 'Light' of his and replace it with Twilight!" She growled, before storming up the stairs of the castle and slamming the doors of her quarters behind her.

The Twilit creatures shuddered, backing up in fear due to the newfound rage of their 'queen'.
