Prologue: Fable of the Wild
What if...there was another side of the Fable? What if...a whole side of the Legend was lost to time? What if...the version that we were told...was a lie?
A disclosed location; Hyrule
An old man wearily made his way through the cave, stopping every now and then to catch his breath. He wore a ragged brown robe, with a faded black leather belt strung around his middle.
His aged feet were resting in strange looking boots, ones that had torn wings attached to the soles.
The man stopped before a hidden doorway in the cavern wall.
He then shook his head and reached into his robes, pulling out a carved stick a few seconds later.
"...After all this time, you'd think that she'd know when I come to visit..."
The man then reached up and pulled back his hood, revealing a scarred old man, with graying hair and dimming blue eyes.
He then raised the stick to the doorway and struck the door softly.
"...My League...I have come home."
Shortly afterwards, the door was opened, and a young woman gestured at the man to come inside.
"Come along! Quickly!"
The man chuckled as he passed though the threshold.
"You should know that I don't move like I used to, Lee Ann,"
Lee Ann turned to the aged figure and put her hands on her hips.
"Really, Grandpa Link, You're going to thrust your old age on me? I have enough things to worry about, you know."
The old man only smiled softly at his granddaughter.
"I know you do, sweetheart, I know you do."
Several minutes later, the two were seated by a makeshift fireplace in red armchairs.
Lee Ann was currently glaring at her grandfather.
"You could have at least checked on us! What were you doing that was so Godsdamned important, that you couldn't even see us?!"
Link leaned forwards a bit and clasped his hands together.
"You mean your mother. You weren't born yet. And besides, she was only two."
Lee Ann sucked in a breath and glared at her grandfather.
"That was an excuse, and you know it."
Link pursed his cracked lips.
"That may be true, but..."
Lee Ann noticed her grandfather trail off.
"But what?"
The old man shook his head sadly.
"Sweetheart, you don't know the half of it..."
"Half of what?"
Link moved his hands to the armrests and leaned back into the faded red cushion.
"How I became who I am now."
Lee Ann's eyes widened.
Her grandfather didn't talk much about when he was younger; all that the books that she read made him seem like a saint or something; but Lee Ann knew that something had happened.
Like how his right arm seemed to pain him at times. Or how he seemed to grow distant and sad. She didn't like that.
Lee Ann knew that her grandfather was hurting, and she wanted to help, but..what could she do?
"...Grandpa Link?"
The old man raised his head to look at Lee Ann.
"What is it?"
"...Have you ever told anyone what really happened?"
To her complete surprise, her grandfather shook his head,
"I'm afraid not, Lee."
Lee slowly got up from her chair and walked over to her grandfather and hugged him.
"You can tell me, right?"
Link moved his gaze upwards.
"I...did things...bad things...are...are you certain you want me to tell you?"
Lee Ann found herself nodding.
"Absolutely."
Link sighed and buried his face in his scarred and knotted hands; after a few seconds, he removed them and simply looked at his 14 year old granddaughter.
Then he smiled softly and nodded.
"Very well...I've kept you in the dark for this long...Before we begin...I wish to tell you something...A certain women once told me that "I was to be the Light that shone in the Darkness". And I was."
Lee Ann noticed that something had changed about her grandfather.
He had...become...happier, in a way.
"Are you ready? This will take a long time."
"Yes. You can begin whenever."
Link nodded and gazed upwards.
"...So you say...It began a long, long time ago..."
For those of you completely confused out of your minds right now, this will be an alternate version of "Breath of the Wild". At the time of writing this, which is 8-16-16, the game is not out yet.
This is just what I want the game to be like.
Or, if I could choose, anyway.
Not that I'm not getting the game as soon as possible, of course.
Expect lots of cursing, violence, gore, stuff like that. Oh, and also death. Lots and lots of Death.
Tell me what you though of the prologue.
