The Hero of the Void

After a monster hunt the Hero of Time is summoned by a certain pink haired mage.

1. Chapter 1

Chapter1: Another world another adventure.

Link the Hero of Time was a boy or perhaps as some people will call him a young man whose life was marked by adventure. Right now for example in his eighteenth birthday he was climbing Death Mountain in the middle of winter, there's barely any wind so the snowflakes are falling gently over the mountain side. By the way this is something most people will call suicide if you aren't a Goron because Death Mountain is after all an active volcano. The hint that this is not a place for the weak is in the name.

However this particular day the mountain was asleep. Link thought that right now it could be called White Mountain and no one will complain about it. The cold weather reminded Link of the frost peaks from Termina and while it had a beauty of its own it was also harsh, so Link was using a brown tattered cloak over his trademark green Kokiri tunic also his white tights were sturdier and thicker, in fact, they may even be called pants, his long sleeved shirt was also like that no longer thin and form fitting. The soft sound of his steps in the snow stopped as soon as the reason for this mountain hike was within his sight.

"Found you." Link said grabbing his green hat and pulling it down to cover his pointy ears. The cold was finally getting under his skin and the earrings he wore were making him get the chills.

It had not been a full month since his return to Hyrule from his travels, just over three weeks. He had seen every one of the people he considered his friends using the songs of his ocarina to warp all over Hyrule; Saria and the Kokiri children was first stop it was home after all and a friendly sparring match awaited there, days later he went to Malon at Lon-Lon Ranch, the redhead was happy to see him and he was received with both a hug for returning and a slap for leaving without any notice, as always Talon her father just laughed at that, thankfully Link had a little gift from Termina to give to her so he was left off the hook easily, Epona was left there with Malon as Link was planning to return and well… maybe to stay there for a while all things considered.

Ruto and the Zoras came next; King Zora was as good natured as he always remembered. Ruto while still under the title of princess was the person in charge, ruling in all but name thankfully no offers to be the Zora prince were made. The visit to Nabooru and the Gerudo was a little bit weird because Link had a little 'something' with a girl there and if all the glances and whispers he heard were any indication it somehow became public knowledge, in particular the way Aveil the second in command teased him was well… quite uncomfortable because it was true; after all that little bit of awkwardness he ended the friendly visits with Darunia his sworn brother and the Gorons.

Link was going to spend a day in Kakariko Village lazing around town and staying the night in an inn after returning from Death Mountain when he heard that there have been monsters attacking the livestock of the village in the last week. A couple of men were injured in those attacks but thankfully there were red potions available at the Medicine Shop branch a new and growing business in the village, so Link decided to visit the mountain again this time to Hunt monsters not to visit friends, that was one day ago.

"They really were Moblins." Link's eyes narrowed as soon as those words left his lips and he stiffened his relaxed posture. Moblins were creatures in the likeness of Ganon the one person Link could say he absolutely hated so you could guess he didn't like them. There were three of them about three hundred meters in front of him, as much as his second visit inside the Sacred Forest Meadow. That visit was also the first time he was seventeen years old around eight years ago give or take a few time travels Link mused. Two of them wielded spears and the other one a club bigger than Link himself.

The wind was faint and was hitting Link in the face so they haven't smelled him yet. Pigs are known for their acute sense of smell as Link's Mask of Scents had taught him when he was in Termina, and Moblins are a lot like pigs.

To avoid being seen he put on the Stone Mask and began walking stealthily although that wasn't really needed. The Stone Mask was one of the many masks that Link Had acquired in his travels through Termina during his second great adventure. The power of the mask could make you as plain as a stone it was very useful if you were close to danger or if you wanted to sneak around.

I wonder if this means something more. The green clad boy thought. It had been awhile since monsters attacks were common thing in Hyrule a pack this big of such strong monsters was a thing of the past already forgotten, so Link decided that after this hunt was over he will be going straight to Hyrule Castle to inform his best friend… and first love Princess Zelda. It is Queen Zelda now. Link mind said with a bit of sarcasm and an amused smile, Princess suits her better.

The Hero of Time and the Royal Princess of Hyrule had a fair bit of history together as friends, allies and even lovers although the last part was only known to less than six people; in fact the couple part of their history was one the reasons for Link's second departure from Hyrule after his return from his quest on Termina.

After the fight against Ganondorf's monstrous form Ganon, Link righted the wrongs he and Zelda had done in allowing him to take the Triforce in the first place, Link was sent back in time to stop that from happening and to regain something he had lost, his childhood. Sometime later Link left Hyrule when he was eleven, to say the truth there were various reasons some sad, some heartbreaking and some quite logical, but mainly it was to look for his friend and partner Navi who was Link's fairy companion during his first adventure, to say he absolutely wanted to find her was putting it lightly.

In doing this, Link proved that world saving kind of was in his blood as he ended up in Termina a parallel world or mirror universe of sorts to his homeland of Hyrule. Into this second adventure with the help of another fairy Tatl, he fought against a great evil in the shape of a Mask.

While Link hated Ganondorf with his whole being he still thought that the King of the Gerudo was better than whatever was inside Majora's Mask, at the very least Ganondorf wanted to rule everything no matter the price but he will not want to destroy his kingdom just for the heck of it. The Cursed conscience of the Mask just wanted to destroy and spread misery; it was as if Majora's definition of joy is the suffering of others.

After saving Termina and parting with Tatl he continued the quest to find his true Fairy Navi. Sadly that was not meant to be.

When Link could not find Navi anywhere after nearly two years of looking for her he came back to Hyrule. He was almost thirteen, sometimes Link wondered if he just should have listened to the creepy/happy mask salesman and returned home to Hyrule right after saving Termina.

The failure to find Navi was quite heavy on him, but life and more so time moves forward even for the one and only hero that could turn it back and change its flow if fate dictates it. Hyrule Royal Castle was the place he stayed. Link's heroic deeds had given him a lot of respect and goodwill in the palace. Also he was liked by the populace although his paper in revealing Ganondorf's betrayal (or future betrayal) was kept a secret for everybody. It was during this time that feelings beyond friendship began to truly flourish between the young hero and the princess.

The Moblins stopped walking finally alert to something in their surroundings their instincts telling that they were at risk of harm. This is no time to ponder about my life. A boy that was supposed to be as plain as a stone found himself a bit surprised; it was just over seventy meters between him and the Moblins much further than he expected to be noticed by them... of course the mask only made him harder to notice it did no render his footprints in the snow less visible. Link could see clearly the remains of cows that the pig-like monsters were carrying. The Club Moblin had already skinned some of the animals they took as he was using the hide as a mantle; it appears that he is the leader of this pack.

Time to get rid of all of you, Link's mouth made a small and cold smile under his mask.

At this distance he cannot use his new sword technique and getting any closer while not that dangerous with his mask on, may ruin his chances to do an effective surprise attack. To take advantage of the distance his Hero's bow, newly forged by the palace smith a few years back, in order to be used by an adult, will do nicely; so notching an arrow and taking aim to the Club Moblin he waited until the monster was facing him and then decided to start the ambush.

The arrow flew striking his target right below the neck a little to the left around the collar bone. The Lance wielding beasts immediately began a spear charge at full speed in the direction the arrow came, rising snow at their feet as the leader let out a choked growl. A second arrow appeared out of thin air this time much closer than the last one and hitting the one in the front above its right eye. Moblins have thick skulls so the arrow instead of penetrating the cranium slid along the head opening a deep wound that bleed enough to make a splash; that Moblin stopped immediately.

Fear was beginning to take hold of the only unharmed Moblin but that changed as soon as the archer became visible just over thirty meters ahead of him. It was just some Hylian boy in a Cloak; the runt was putting away his bow and some other grey thing in his left hand. The Monster did not thought about why this enemy revealed himself to it but without hesitation put more effort in his charge, adjusting the direction to hit the boy right in the chest, and then showed his fangs in an expression of feral joy, as the fool was drawing his sword with his left hand and moved forward to meet him head on.

He passed the space the boy was, thrusting his lance at the boy heart but felt nothing at the tip of his spear .The blade of weapon just passed through empty space as he didn't even grazed him. The cloaked Hylian just sidestepped with a jump and continued running almost as fast the Moblins themselves, the boy charged to strike his wounded companion that was still dazed by the arrow. This uninjured Moblin finally realized that skill the boy showed in those simple movements was beyond any soldier it had ever seen, like if the kid had faced monsters much stronger than this group all his life, a thousand times the Moblin could try to charge at him and thousand times he will fail. The mind of the Moblin told its owner that in this battle he was facing the only thing a monster may fear something ingrained in the instincts of monsters as their bane, the Moblin was facing a Hero chosen by the goddesses.

Link running past the uninjured pig blocked a spear attack with his shield, the strength in the thrust much less than a strike done while running. Two sword slashes ended the life of this creature already wounded by his second arrow the Moblin's blood staining the snow.

Link gave a quick glance to the only lancer still alive as that Moblin found out the cruelty and fairness of inertia, even if it was using its spear as a brake to slow down in the snow. Link was not much for using his magical attacks when a simple tactic could get the job done, this was more risky but Link was also better fighting at close range than most so he decided to end this just using his so called 'mundane skills'.

A loud roar let Link know that the Moblin with the club was about to release a rather nasty attack. The Moblin did an overhead swing of the club and hit the snow releasing a white shockwave that traveled in a straight line. Link didn't even need to side jump to avoid the blow, he just moved to his right and saw the shockwave pass by, getting a bit snow on his cloak but the snow strike did a perfect hit on the dead Moblin that he just finished, moving its corpse a fair distance. Without hesitating a second his bow appeared in his hands, faster than any eye could see Link notched an arrow and fired.

Aiming was easier with Navi or Tatl pointing the target. Link thought while sporting a focused expression as he saw his third arrow strike. This time the arrow stayed in the Moblin's throat. Link saw how the beast dropped his club and fell to the snow before turning around to see the last enemy approaching.

He is not charging anymore. Link put his bow in his right pouch a bag much smaller than the bow itself and began walking towards the last Moblin. Link observed his opponent. A Moblin clad in some animal skin wielding a lance, and at its belt there were a couple of spearheads, the beast took a defensive stance and appeared to be afraid or as afraid as creature like it could look, no doubt its instincts telling it that running away was better but its mind saying that a couple of arrows to the head was going to be his reward if he did that. The air grew just bit more tense. Link drew his sword and readied his Hylian shield; both of them were tools that had served him well many times before.

A spear swing from his left began the encounter, that was parried by his shield then a stab followed that Link ducked under and did a fast horizontal swing from the left of his own to the Moblin's legs drawing blood. The beast grunted and tried to impale him from above aiming the blade of the spear to his head; Link in one smooth move swiftly moved to his left, raised his shield parallel to the stab of the spear and did an Upward Thrust. The lance was deflected by the shield and the sword met Moblin's chest piercing his lungs but the monster proved that it was a warrior as with his last effort grabbed Link's sword by the blade with its right hand to keep it in place while trying to slash at him with a spearhead at its belt as it were a knife with its other hand.

The swordsman simply let go of his blade and jumped back to avoid injury, the Moblin just fell and died a moment later as there was nothing else that it could do. This duel ended in less than ten seconds and all that Link had as proof of this encounter was a bit snow and some blood not his own on his old tattered cloak. The monster hunt was over.

Well to his credit he put up a decent fight this is the second time I let go of my sword in a battle. Link thought with a little respect to the last fallen Pig that had actually faced him head on; though the last time he let go of his blade in the middle of combat he did not feel any respect just fear. He looked at his sword still resting on the Moblin's throat as some sort of pedestal in morbid amusement.

Link's current sword was beautiful blade a one handed double-edged arming sword made for Knights to use with a shield. The steel had a pattern that resembled the flow of water also the green hilt had a large crossguard in the shape of wings and no fuller. This blade was made in the likeness of the Master Sword, The Sword of Evil's Bane, the one and true blade of the Hero of Time.

When Link got older the Kokiri sword that he had gotten forged by Zubora and Gabora into the Gilded Sword was no longer of the adequate size for him, specially the hilt. The blacksmith of the palace was asked by Zelda to make this blade for Link and later the teenager returned the Gilded Sword to the Kokiri forest. Everyone in the blacksmith shop worked solely on that sword for two weeks.

That visit to the woods was like being a child of the forest again; Link was fourteen and a half at the time, he had passed a sudden growth spurt and the bearer of courage had actually been afraid of returning to the forest. He was obviously much taller but hadn't changed enough to not be recognized by everyone when he told them his name. Even 'The Great Mido' was glad to see him and quite surprised to know Link was a Hylian not a Kokiri. Saria by the way was delighted to see him but she knew he was coming over they always communicated by the ocarina. While Link slept in his old tree house that night after a welcome party he could no longer remember why he was so afraid of returning to the forest and seeing his old friends again; Fado was as creepy as always though.

In a related note it should be said that Mido loved the golden blade and took a couple of lessons in swordsmanship from the Hero of Time. It was not odd that he had some talent but surprisingly Mido paid careful attention to all the tips Link gave him specially those concerning the use of a blade that long in relation to Mido's size with only one hand, if he trained seriously Mido could be as good as Link was when he was Eleven in just over a couple of years. That was not an easy feat considering it was Link's fate to one day become a Hero of legends, of course Link reminded himself again that Mido and the kokiri in general were much older than him.

And in the last visit he did to the forest just three weeks ago, Mido proved he was really diligent in his training; it was like if Link faced himself when he was younger. Mido said that as the boss of the Kokiri it was now his duty to defend them not that Link was not around, he mentioned something about the tallest three being the one that shielded other from lighting during storms; Saria and Link were impressed with his declaration.

Link smiled at the warn memories, this was the second time he was lost in his thoughts in less than fifteen minutes. Guess I am just nervous for seeing Zelda again, she sent telepathic word saying she was going to have a dessert ready and all that. It is good I brought a Moon Tear for her and Malon. Said gems were quite small, Link handed them to a jeweler in Termina to be polished and to attach a silver chain to them so they could be worn as a necklace; Link thought they were quite a tasteful gift.

Our hero took one step forward to grab his sword, as soon he did a low sound easily lost in the wind sent up a shiver down his spine making the winter snowfall look like a spring morning. Link threw himself as far he could away from the mental line between his position and the place he had shoot the Club wielding boar. The sound became a loud rumble and the blonde boy dodged a line of moving snow that once again did a perfect strike on the dead Moblin at his feet, once again sending forward a dead body (sword included) a fair distance.

The not quite dead Club Moblin was trying to hit Link with the shockwave of his swings removing lots of snow from the frozen mountain side with each strike making the terrain dangerous. There were no roars coming from the Moblin… well those two arrows may be making things difficult in that sense. Maybe the one on his throat became a tracheotomy? Link swiftly circled around the Moblin avoiding the mad strikes while getting closer to his attacker he may be swordless but not helpless.

When he was about ten meters from the Moblin that thing did a massive horizontal swing. This has to be a joke! Link's eyes widened as the swing did a Crescent-Shaped air slash clearly seen in the falling snowflakes making for a beautiful and deadly sight. The Hero of Time rolled forward barely avoiding the wind slash and without losing any speed jumped to attack.

Between his hands Link was holding a treasure from the depths of this very mountain the Megaton Hammer. The attack of the war hammer hit the Moblin straight in the chest letting out a small shockwave from the point of impact and a sickening sound of grinded flesh and bone sending the beast sliding on the snow a few meters.

However Link did not stop, he turned around and ran moving at full speed up the mountain as the snow removed from the many shockwaves the Moblin had unleashed was beginning a small avalanche that swept away the bodies (sword stuck in Moblin pedestal included) of the entire fallen pig-like beasts.

"Haa…" Link let out a quite visible breath and then after a few seconds began laughing like a boy after a nice party with friends. It was mildly disturbing if one was to be honest… and then his mouth made a thin line and his eyes stopped smiling too, the look on his eyes appeared tired like a person much older than him and it was easy to tell that it was not the physical effort put in this task … it was some other kind exhaustion.

"Hehe… that was something else; over a year of traveling and I lost my sword in the first real fight back home… this is the second time I let go of my blade..." Link said to nobody in particular while putting the heavy steel hammer inside his left pouch. Link had two small pouches, one at each side. Forcing his mind out of his current train of thought Link began thinking that maybe he will make a stop over the blacksmith rather than going directly to the throne room when he gets to Hyrule Castle if he cannot find his sword.

In was in this moment when Link was dropping himself with a small but satisfied smile on his face to rest a bit in the snow that a light green portal in the shape of an oval opened behind him. A surprised "Eh?" was the last word the Hero of Time, Savior of Termina, Bearer of the Triforce of Courage and smalltime poultry offender said in his native Hyrule during his eighteenth birthday.

Louise Françoise le Blanc de la Vallière the Zero was a girl or perhaps as some people will call her a little girl whose life was sadly marked by something called failure. Right now for example she was in the middle of an important ceremony, the Springtime Familiar Summoning. It was held at the start of spring, the hint was in the name. This is a sacred rite for a mage, among the most important reasons were that elemental affinity was decided by the familiar that you summon. Another reason was that magic potential could be observed by the creature summoned.

Common animals were the marks of the average mage while those with a bit more talent may summon an unusual or exotic creature and sometimes a lesser magical animal. The truly gifted mages almost always summoned magical creatures like griffons, manticores and dragons. This was not an absolute rule but it was good indicator of magical talent.

The little girl had tried quite a few times the spell to summon a servant creature but like all of her spells it had failed creating explosions. "Hurry Louise the zero! We don't have all day!" some student said. In the academy of magic all the students summoned a familiar when they were in the second year of school. They did all that summoning together so it was a bit of an embarrassment to say the least.

"No need to be embarrassed Miss Vallière; just make sure this time you get it right we do are short of time" Said a bald professor holding a wooden staff.

Louise took a deep breath I will do it, after all that bragging to Kirche I will die of shame if I don't! To a mage who failed to obtain a familiar the only choice was to quit the academy so it was not only a scuffle between rivals. For Louise failing this was akin to suicide. She felt herself focus on this task; she had to do it with all her being if she wanted to succeed.

"By the Name of Louise Françoise le Blanc de la Vallière." A small wand was pointed at the ground.

"Pentagram of the five elements." A green light appeared at the tip of the wand.

"To the one chosen by fate."" A small portal in the shape of an oval appeared above the ground the wand was pointing to; a small gasp from her audience was heard.

"You who are Devoted, Beautiful and Powerful!" A flicker made the portal grow its green color now clearly seen, no sound was heard.

"Reveal yourself! My familiar!" A small hope about to be extinguished was all that the girl had when her prayer was answered.

This time a rather loud but mostly harmless explosion was not the only result of the summoning ritual as some coughing and a shadow visible in the smoke appeared.

All right let's begin with where you are how you got here and then take it from there. Link's brain said to his owner as he looked around his surroundings. First and foremost Link had tried to take a little break and lay down in the snow after a monster hunt in the middle of winter, when later he just kept on falling through the darkest void he had ever seen… and while he was falling he heard a voice calling for him.

Link had felt something similar, minus the voice, during all those travels through the fabric of time he had done in order to save Termina also it was a bit like when he teleported by the use of magic not his own, this of course meant that he knew this time was different.

The place he was currently at is a grassy plain the sun high in the sky past noon and the weather is more like spring than winter. There are also some people around here. Link finally saw that he was in fact not alone. Next to him less than six meters away were two persons, an almost bald middle aged man around his forties and a petite girl around thirteen with long pink hair; she had reddish eyes like a Sheikah and a face with fair features, overall she was a rather cute girl. Farther away there were more people a quick glance told him that most where around his age some with all kind of creatures next to them.

Pink? Seriously? Well, Link had a fair bit of history with redheads but this was the first pinkette he had ever seen. Link's observant mind told him that the people around him were a group; their attire was some sort of uniform a white blouse and short pleated skirt for the girls, a really short skirt indeed, and a white shirt with dark pants for the boys but more importantly everyone ears were round no Hylian ears on sight. Gerudo also had round ears but here all the boys had them too.

These people here were like the folks he had seen at the realms of Holodrum and Labrynna during his travels but even there he had seen plenty of Hylians. Link thought it was wiser to conceal his pointy ears for now just in case Hylians weren't welcome or unheard of, he had clearly seen in Termina that not everyone tolerated all races of people, thankfully his hat hadn't moved much in the middle of the fight and was still covering his ears. His hearing wasn't affected in any meaningful way by having both ears covered.

Oh? There is someone familiar here. Link's eyes stopped briefly over a rather well-endowed, and very attractive if I am honest, dark skinned redhead; the girl really looked like a Gerudo above average cleavage and air of confidence included. She noticed he was looking at her and flashed him a smile. Next to her was the youngest person in the group a girl with short sky blue hair that had just stopped reading a rather heavy book.

Link raised an eyebrow while removing his cloak when he heard someone say "Who are you?"

Louise was having a mute surprise as she was looking at the being she had summoned. First she had managed to summon something that was good. Second it was far from a beautiful, powerful magical beast that was not.

The summoned creature was a boy, somewhat tall and using a horrible brown tattered cloak over a forest green tunic, on his feet where well-worn leather boots and on his hands fingerless leather gauntlets, he also wore a white shirt and white pants Perhaps tights? under the tunic. The boy was looking around with a confused face.

Is that snow? …Blood! Louise thought startled. Is that… my fault? Louise realized that the explosion at the end of the summoning may have done that.

She saw the boy looking at both Professor Colbert and her and then turning to look at her schoolmates. His eyes stopped over Kirche for a second and the Germanian actually smiled at him. It was here that Louise's left eye twitched her small concern disappeared and she regained her voice.

"Who are you?" asked Louise intently with a bit of scorn in her voice.

"Mmm?" The boy said turning his eyes to her while he shook his coat to remove the snow on it; an action which showed her that the blood was not his own, he was uninjured as far he she could tell. She was going to ask about it later the blood looked fresh after all.

He didn't answer and just stared at her with a lowered eyebrow. Now that they were staring at each other Louise took a good look at his face: he had blonde hair, but worthy of notice were his eyes whose color was something rather special most people will say they are blue, but from this close Louise could tell that the tone of blue had some violet in it perhaps they are indigo. The boy also had an athletic build overall this young man was on the strikingly handsome side. No doubt that's why that easy Kirche smiled at him; even a lowly commoner familiar is enough for her if he is looks good enough.

Without his cloak a blue painted shield made of metal and an empty sword sheath were visible on his back.

Even if he is sort of handsome, besides his eyes he is a completely mundane and unremarkable commoner, and that hat he wears looks stupid. Louise thought bitterly noting that the sock like hat covered almost half of his head, calling 'something' like this commoner also meant failure of a special kind to her.

Link looked at the tiny girl with a frown because he could tell that she had thought something mean about his hat, it was special talent of his. Link loved his hat, and disliked anyone that thought badly about it. Nayru, Farore and Din the three Golden Goddesses had deemed appropriate to give him the talent to know when someone didn't liked it; or so Zelda claimed.

The young man was about to ask what was happening here to the little rose haired girl when the one that must be the caretaker of the group spoke.

"Well, it took you many tries but you finally accomplished the first part of the ritual." at his words the crow began laughing.

"Louise, what were you thinking, calling a commoner with 'Summon Servant'?" some guy asked amidst the laughter. Link noted that 'commoner' was said referring to him. Well it's not like I am an aristocrat, Zelda wanted to give me a title as a Royal Knight of Hyrule, Royal Hero of Hyrule or Royal Something of Hyrule but I did not accept any of that. Link mused… well amused since the laughter didn't bother him one bit.

"I... I just made a little mistake! That's all!" Louise shouted. "Mr. Colbert!" the girl, Louise, said to the oldest person here.

"Please! Let me try the summoning one more time!" It appears that the bald man name is Colbert, Link observed attentively.

"No, Miss Vallière." Mr. Colbert said firmly. "Like I said it took you a lot effort to succeed just to throw it away. Continue with the ceremony." Louise bit her lip looking resigned at her teacher's words.

I didn't think he will let me repeat the summoning besides I don't think it can be done unless the current familiar dies, just… let's get this over with. Louise decided as she began walking with as much pride as she could towards her future familiar.

"Hey you" Louise addressed Link dryly.

"What?" Link said also dryly, finally speaking a word towards Louise, he was getting tired of letting the events unfold.

"Whoever you are, you should count yourself lucky. Normally you'd go your whole life without a noble doing this to you." The brat said while she was blaring at him. Do what? Try to look down on me? It's been years since someone had the nerve to. Link thought cockily he was beginning to get irritated.

"My name is Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière, Pentagon of the Five Elemental Powers; bless this humble being, and make him my familiar." Louise chanted and then waved the wand on her hand touching Link's forehead.

Magic! This is some kind of spell. At this moment Louise approached Link. Since Link was focused sensing any magic around he utterly failed to notice what was going to happen until it was too late to do anything about it.

Louise grabbed Link's face by his cheeks pulling him down and kissed him on the lips.

Link froze, only a couple of blinks from his eyes indicated he was not a very surprised statue. Their lips parted, Louise blushed noticeably her cheeks were like her pink hair and Link was baffled. Louise was a little on the young side (or so he thought) for him but before he could say something about the kiss his body burned, almost literally, from the inside.

"Aaah!" Link yelled in pain. "Aaagh! What is this?! A curse?!" Link managed to say between grunts his eyesight occasionally blurred and he was breathing heavily. Is this girl like Majora cursing me first thing on her schedule?

Louise noticed this narrowed her eyes and said irritated "It will be over soon; just wait. The Familiar's Runes are being inscribed." Link glared at her, most men will simply be knocked unconscious by this kind of pain with fair reason.

Link covered his left hand the resting place of the Triforce of Courage as it made its presence known even through his gauntlet, the golden triangles appeared on the back of his hand over the leather of his glove giving a brilliant golden light. This caught the attention of the teacher.

Without warning or fanfare the burning stopped, the magic dispelled by the Triforce on his hand, all the pain and discomfort left him. The Triforce is a sacred relic of immeasurable power. These three golden sacred triangles were left behind by the three Goddesses: Din, the Goddess of Power; Nayru, the Goddess of Wisdom; and Farore, the Goddess of Courage after the creation of the land of Hyrule, a piece existed for each Goddess named after their attributes.

Link had a strong will and a resilient mind also as a Triforce piece bearer it was really hard to place any kind of curse on his person; this went double for any mind-altering and brainwashing or anything like that; as the Triforce would not allow the mind and heart of its chosen bearer to be invaded. After all, when the Triforce is separated each piece takes residence in whosoever most personifies them, and for that purpose the protection of their mind and soul is important.

This fact really put in perspective just how powerful Majora's Mask really was to curse him like it was nothing significant. Then again it had to have great power to drop a moon from the skies.

"What was that light?" asked Mr. Colbert to Link who was panting on his knees. The professor knew that glow didn't have anything to do with the ritual. Louise also raised her eyebrows at that but said nothing.

"Nothing of your concern." Link said warily. Both males frowned at each other. Link knew this was not Hyrule, all this talk about summoning and familiars had let him know that much also the landscape was different to any of the realms he had been at, so he was not going to reveal something this important to everyone who asked unless he deemed it necessary.

Also its no like he will believe me if I told him. Link stood again observing that Mr. Colbert had sharp eyes he probably was more than just some old school teacher. At this moment a high pitched voice resonated.

"How Rude! Why do you allow yourself, a commoner, to use that kind of language in front of nobles? Know you place!" Louise said angry at him. Link had already forgotten she was here in his staring contest with the professor.

"Mmm… It doesn't matter Miss Vallière… but it appears the spell 'Contract Servant' failed you have to repeat it."

"Wha-what?! Again? With him?" Louise raised her voice even more.

"Wait just moment." Link said addressing the two of them. "Would you mind explaining what all this is? What familiar means and all that? This place is definitely far away from where I come from." Link hoped that what he was going to say will distract them from the light his hand had given even if he felt it was rude. "And that was the worst kiss I ever had no offense, the ending was quite painful." Really if every kiss ended like that the goddess would have to create another way to express affection between lovers.

"Y-y-y-you! How d-d-dare you that was my f-first kiss!" Louise stammered. Anything would have been better than giving it to such person, even the viscount I have not seen in many years. Louise thought mortified, her eyes glistened with unshed tears whether of anger or embarrassment she didn't know and maybe it didn't matter anymore.

"All right" Said Colbert trying to speed things up. "You were summoned here by Miss Vallière to be her familiar, a familiar is well a creature bound to the mage… you can say they are some kind of guardian or partner, yours is an unusual case, to my knowledge this is the first time a human had been called as one." The bald man explained while moving his staff hoping they will hurry, many students were already beginning to take their leave. Link noted that his eyes had lost their sharpness.

Link pondered all of this. First, was the term 'Human' that word was known to him it was unusual in Hyrule but common in Termina, Holodrum and Labrynna; it was a way to refer to some races like Hylians, Sheikah and Gerudo but mostly it was used to describe the round eared people he had met before. Second, and much more important he had obviously been teleported here by this pink haired brat, in his experience this meant that there was some sort of task to be done here, something he should accomplish with her and so far it looks like becoming her 'familiar' is that task or at the very least the starting point of it, as unpleasant as it seems.

Maybe I pissed off a goddess and this is payback. He left that line of thought quickly, if a familiar was a guardian or protector then it means that maybe is not him the one that truly must accomplish something but this girl Louise and he had been brought here by fate to help and/or guide her… like Navi had helped him… Damn it.

"I see…" Link said to himself, looking resigned. "Okay, continue with this… Louise."

"Humph. Who said you may address me so casually?" The girl said proudly. Still, the boy was finally cooperating so fighting down a blush she faced him again, waved her wand, stood on her toes and kissed him once more.

Link this time tried to suppress the effect of the Triforce while covering his left hand. The Hero of Time was quite unskilled on using his Triforce piece he could only make the mark appear if he concentrated and even that was after many lessons with Zelda and with the help of the resonance between the Triforce of Wisdom and his own piece. Truthfully Link didn't had much talent for magic; at age ten Zelda was a better spellcaster than Link would ever be; other than the spells granted by the Great Fairies, the magic songs of his ocarina and pouring his magic in tools designed for it like the lens of truth he couldn't do much, even if he had fairly large amounts of magic power to use, learning something new in the way of magic was always quite taxing for him.

Breathing slowly Link felt the burning sensation going through his body but this time the spell became something different, the Triforce did not allowed the magic to follow its intended purpose; it all focused on his right hand and it was a bit less painful but then it felt like someone was using a hot iron rod to write on his skin, enduring the pain he removed his gauntlet and watched the runes forming on the back his right hand giving a white glow.

"These are very unusual Runes." said the middle-aged wizard and wrote down a sketch in his pocket book.

"Well, let's go back to class, everyone." Colbert gave Link one last glance, turned on his heel then raised gently into the air. Link gaped after him.

Is... Is he really flying? Just like that?! Before his mind could process this fact completely the other people who looked like students also floated up.

It can't be! The whole lot of them? One person rising up into the air was something noteworthy, but so many? The only people he could remember that just flew like that were Ganondorf and the Skull Kid possessed by Majora's Mask both individuals with more power than he could even grasp.

Ah! Koume and Kotake could too. The Hero of Time began to remember more people or monsters that floated in from of him before coming to this place.

"Louise, you'd better walk back!" A floating student said mockingly.

"She shouldn't try to fly. She can't even manage levitation." Some girl said.

"A commoner is perfect as your familiar!" the students jeered as they flew away.

The only ones left behind were Link and the little girl named Louise. All of that just passed without Link noticing as he was absorbed inside his mind.

Zelda the best mage he knew and his personal teacher couldn't do something like that so casually while this bunch did it like it was more difficult to put their clothes on by themselves; it really reminded him of the Skull Kid cursing him doing something that was supposed to be incredibly difficult with ease.

As soon as it was only the two of them, Louise took a deep breath, turned toward Link and yelled "Who are you?!" Link's eyebrow twitched but then it occurred to Link he hadn't told Louise his name.

"My name is Link, I am a … Legendary Hero chosen by fate?" Louise obviously not believed him and began laughing with no amusement.

"Hahaha… that was a good joke commoner." The tone of voice was quite cold and filled with scorn.

"All right I am Link, you could say I am a … Traveler of sorts?" He left it there; it would do him no good to tell her anything more even if she asks, not right now with her foul mood at least.

"You really don't look like much, Hero." Louise said displeased. "Yeah, I am not really much I guess." Said the Hero of Time deadpan. "More importantly, where are we? Where is this place?" Link said looking at the castle like building a few hundred meters away the place where everyone else where flying to.

"I don't know what backwoods you came from, but all right, I will explain it to you." The girl said rising her chest.

"This is Tristain! And this is the renowned Tristain Academy of Magic!" Louise said waving her hand in the direction of the academy.

An Academy of Magic? This could explain the proficiency with levitation he had seen. Magic is only taught from master to apprentice in Hyrule, there is no specialized institution that does this, while every Hylian can use magic in theory the reality is that not everyone can do something noticeable with it; Link was thinking that if someone here figured out how to do something (like floating), the knowledge could be written down and passed to the future magi. There would be no need to figure everything on your own and separately like the mages of Hyrule. Link thought that answered quite a bit, of course this also meant that Tristanian mages could very well be more skilled or have a wider range of spells than Hyrule ones.

"Tristain? Where is that?" Link asked and got the reaction he thought she would give. His so called master looked at him like if he had two heads and one them breathed ice.

"I didn't lie when I said I wasn't from around here." Actually he hadn't lied at all to her.

/-/-/-/-/-/-/

"All right you don't believe me. And I am tired of trying to explain let's leave it at that for now." The pair was at Louise's room. Upon reflection Link decided that he should tell the little girl about his homeland, but it appears she refused to believe a word he said, though his sarcastic tone when he was explaining may have aided her disbelieving of him.

In a related note when he told her why a little girl like her was in a boarding school without her parents she kind of got very pissed off and corrected Link guess of her age with the exact value and a flying book aimed to his face, he evaded the attack by the way.

"Well, you really were expecting something but not someone." Link said with a dry smirk looking at the pile of hay in a corner of her room hoping to change the subject. Link as a keen observer of the obvious took note that there is only one bed and a very fancy one with curtains and all that. It's no trouble to sleep on the floor but it kinda pisses me off when looking at her bed.

"I see you're still not used to correct speech. It should be, 'Was I not up to your expectations, master?' it should be said in a polite tone of course." Corrected Louise, one finger raised as if lecturing. The gesture may have been cute, but the tone was quite strict. Link's left eyebrow twitched.

"So Master, What exactly does a familiar do?" His smirk got wider and a little more sarcasm was added to the tone of his voice. It was becoming evident to Link that he would not be able to get along with Louise for a while.

"Humph" She snorted but nevertheless answered the question. "Firstly, a familiar is able to grant its master an enhancement in vision and hearing." Link nodded urging her to continue. "But it seems that doesn't work with you. I can't see anything."

"Yeah, but that should be a problem with your spell not with me." Link said offhandedly while leaning on the wall opposite of her. Even if Link wasn't real mage he still knew a fair bit of Hylian magic theory, he did pay attention to Zelda's lessons, she made even the most boring of topics fun but that may be a bit of a bias in Link's part. Link knew that any creature serving a wizard (willingly or not) could be used as the eyes and ears of its master.

"What?! An impudent familiar should learn to respect his master! No dinner for that insult." Louise said clearly upset, but trying to not give her stupid familiar the pleasure of making her mad. She was aware now that Link enjoyed upsetting her.

"I didn't mean to offend you. I just answered based on what I know of magic." Link said but made no effort to plead for his punishment to be removed. I have enough food for two days at least. Link thought, he was no fool to go to Death Mountain without supplies; in fact he no longer went anywhere without 'proper supplies', of course his definition of 'proper supplies' was having an armory of ancient, magical and/or legendary items of invaluable power at his disposal.

Link had learned the hard way to be prepared for everything after his visit to Termina; even now he couldn't help to wonder how much pain he could have spared himself if he had only took more with him than his sword, shield and the Ocarina of Time that Zelda gave him when he left, even a quick stop by the Great Fairy at Hyrule Castle or bringing his Fairy Ocarina would have saved him lots of trouble.

Louise just blinked at her familiar's response and continued. "Also, a familiar will retrieve items that its master desires. For instance, reagents."

"They're catalysts or materials used when casting certain spells or making certain items, right? Something like Silver, Gems, Herbs..." Link said understanding. Louise raised her eyebrows mildly surprised at the very least her familiar did knew a little about magic.

"Mmm… that's right. But you won't ever find me stuff like that, will you? Considering you only know of the really expensive kind of reagents and they are actually difficult to find."

Well I have some precious metals on me, a couple of red and blue potions, a few moon tears and rupees are Gemstones if common ones on Hyrule and... "Nope Master, I do think I am good at finding stuff but you are right I won't find you that kind of things." Link said bored.

Louise frowned irritably, but continued talking. "And this is most important of all... A familiar exists to protect its master! The task of protecting them from any and all enemies is a duty of the highest priority! But that might be a little bit problematic for you..." The tone of her voice was like Link's, that is to say it had quite a bit of sarcasm.

"...A powerful magical beast would almost always defeat its enemies, but I don't think you could even beat a raven." And here she truly was being sarcastic she realized that if he was traveler he should be able to at the very least… scare one.

"I haven't fought one yet but rest assured I think I can beat one if it came down to it. And I will help if you are in danger to best of my ability that I promise you." Link said in a completely normal tone of voice he even sounded sincere especially in the promise part. The mood change obviously annoyed the pink haired magi in the room.

"Whatever it's getting late, as the graceful Master that I am, I will be having you doing things I know you can do." Link thought this could be interesting.

"What will it be? Maybe you would have me fight some evil demigod, slay ancient dragons, battle against the undead or cutting tall grass?" Link puffed his chest because he can do all that fairly well some would even say he could do it better than anyone else.

"Do the laundry Familiar." A half smile was on Louise's face when she said that. She also proved to Link that while she obviously had some personality issues, she didn't have much of a nudity taboo as the clothes she was wearing were added to the pile of laundry.

"Have my outfit prepared in the morning and wake me up at dawn." She said putting on a nightgown and getting into her bed.

"As you wish Master." It goes without saying that even a deaf man would have noticed the sarcasm in that statement.

/-/-/

The academy of magic was quite as impressive construction its walls were in the shape of a pentagon with a tower at each edge and in the center was an even bigger tower much wider and higher than the others, and at the base of that tower were many halls, lounges, and offices. Link thought it was quite a magnificent and beautiful structure while walking through a courtyard. The sun had already set.

Well if I ever write a book about world traveling the first line will say 'when in doubt look at the moon.' Link was admiring the breathtaking night sky, twin moons decorated the heavens a big light green one and a smaller reddish moon behind the green one. While Louise was almost as bad as the Skull kid and Tatl when it came to first impressions the two moons of Halkeginia were much easier on the eyes than the moon of Termina; although to be fair the moon of Termina looked rather nice after he defeated the cursed mask.

The fact that these couple of moons will make a fine Pictograph crossed Link's mind and he decided to take one as souvenir with his upgraded Pictograph Box. Link after coming back from Termina became a bit of a Pictographer and introduced the art of Pictography to the Hylian population. According to some of the more vain aristocrats this was Link's greatest contribution to Hyrule, and in some ways it was. The ability to take exact images of anything you could see was very useful from the point of view of artists and researchers, even if the pictures were always sepia-toned; new species of plants and insects from the lost woods became known thanks to Link's hobby.

A pictograph was also a useful way to record his travels, the people he meets, the places he sees and the things he had done. Inspired by the bomber's notebook, he used a thick book to keep all of his pictographs; a pictograph album if you will.

Calmly taking out of the left pouch at his belt the Upgraded Pictograph Box, Link centered the moons on the frame looking through the lens and caught a nice image of the twin moons. It should be said that Link had visited Termina a second time about a year ago and among many things, some better left unsaid, Link managed to upgrade his Picto Box to a model that could take pictures in color. Those color pictograph used a different kind of paper, took more time to take an image as Link had to aim at his target for around five seconds and the colors were duller than in reality like if everything was a couple of shades lighter in the pictograph. Still it was an amazing piece of Terminian technology and a hobby the Hero of Time enjoyed almost as much as playing his ocarina.

"Those moons are nice. They aren't falling that's always a plus. Now if only I could find somewhere to wash this." Link talked to both moons but no answer came, so he put away his Pictograph Box and kept strolling familiarizing himself with the layout of the academy.

After ten minutes Link decided to stop and have dinner leaning against a wall still looking at the night sky making up constellations with the stars he could see. It was a simple meal just one big piece of bread with some meat and cheese in the middle, simple yes but quite practical for a traveler constantly on the road, that meal had been given to him by the people of Kakariko. It should be said that the most practical and amazing thing a traveler could ever hope to have were his pouches. Those two bags were much bigger on the inside than they appeared and could hold all kinds of objects without ever weighing more than a couple of pounds. They could even store other magical pouches like his wallet and his bomb bag. Zelda was actually jealous of them.

Another use of them was that Link could basically 'Materialize' anything inside of the pouch to his hands without the need to actually open and grab the item inside. It was that skill more than any other the one that had saved his life in the middle of combat. The ability to have any of the objects he had collected just appear on his person meant that he never was truly unarmed.

Link looked around and when he couldn't see anyone nearby took off his gauntlets. Staring at the back of both hands he felt a bit confused. On the back of his right hand where some symbols neatly arranged in a straight line, those were the familiar Runes, the proof of the contract that made him Louise's familiar. And on his sword hand the mark of the Triforce was completely visible for all to see, with the lower right triangle the one that corresponds to the piece of courage, looking more brilliant than the other two, like if his skin was actually made of gold; this was the part that actually puzzled him.

The Triforce of Courage whose resting place is the mark in Link's left hand isn't normally visible, most of the time his hand looks as mundane as any other man or legendary hero's hand. Sometimes the Triforce will just appear and stay in his hand a few moments, minutes or maybe even hours; without releasing any kind of energy or doing anything at all, other times the tattoo will appear even through any clothes glowing with golden light like when Louise first kissed him.

Zelda could actually use some of the magical power of the Triforce of Wisdom at will; of course it was not as much as Ganondorf could use the Triforce of Power but that hateful man had touched the complete Triforce so it was understandable.

Link on the other hand could not, but sometimes the Triforce itself will grant some its power to Link, like in the final battle against Ganon. At that time the Triforce of Courage shone brightly giving him strength to block some of his strikes, though he Golden Gauntlets helped too, and allowing him to keep his left arm attached to his body after Ganon had disarmed him (almost literally) with a quick stab making that the first time Link had let go of his sword, and even before Ganondorf transformed, it also happened when he faced him atop of his tower the three pieces were resonating while Zelda was trapped inside that red crystal, at that time he had been fully healed by the Triforce.

Ever since he got into this Familiar business the mark hasn't faded from his hand and the Triforce was doing something, he could tell that much. In a few minutes Link would beat his record of how long the mark of Courage had stayed in his hand without disappearing. Thankfully his brown gauntlet had kept it out of sight as the mark was not shinning. Link took a deep breath, the night air cool and pleasant, he putting on his gloves and continued looking for somewhere he could wash the little runt clothes.

Turning around a corner of the yard Link crashed into someone. "Kyaa!" he looked down to see a normal-looking girl around his age carrying a broom, a mop and a duster; the dress the girl was wearing was used for servants it was also black as her hair. Said black hair was neatly adorned with a headband, overall she was pretty.

That's a maid's outfit, isn't it? Link could tell she was part or the servants by the apron she wore over her black dress. The maid was looking meekly at him. "Sorry it was my mistake. You're alright aren't you?" Link said softly and smiled a disarming smile while offering her his hand; he had been too distracted by his own thoughts and had not noticed anyone near him. After a couple of seconds she took the offered limb and rose from the floor dusting herself off. Link looked at her hair, black hair was quite uncommon in Hyrule and she was the first one with raven black hair that Link saw in Tristain.

"It's okay." She said pleasantly and then she looked at him tilting his head to one side in a curious and cute gesture. The Hylian boy could tell she hadn't any malice towards him, Link couldn't help thinking about the contrast with his summoner, it was quite striking as he had actually done something a bit harmful to the maid but she didn't mind it as she knew it was an accident, Louise instead in the short while he had been with her had treated him like if he had gravely offended her just by being summoned. Link knew the summoning must be way more important than bumping into someone, but in the end it was still just an accident although from his point of view he didn't think it was a coincidence.

"Are you by any chance the one who became Miss Vallière's familiar...?" the girl said her head tilted.

"You know of me?" Link asked raising his eyebrows curiously.

"A little. It's become a rumor, you know, that a commoner clad in green was called by the summoning magic." The girl smiled sweetly. What she didn't tell him was the rumor spread because the summoned boy was said to be rather good-looking and if noble girls said that about a commoner then he had to actually be handsome.

Looking at her smile he noted it was the second smile without ill will Link had seen since he came to this world, the first was the one the Gerudo look alike flashed him. But that smile was a flirty one not without its special kind of malice this one instead is refreshing. Link knew he was smiling at her too.

"Where are my modals?" Maybe in Hyrule? Link's ironic mind told him. "Nice to meet you, my name is Link." Link said, once more offering his left hand to her.

"Link? Well… I'm Siesta. Nice meeting you too." Siesta blushed a little but she shook his hand in greeting.

"Sorry to ask you a favor first thing after making you hit the floor but, do you happen to know where I can wash this?" Link pointed at the laundry basket at his feet. "I am bit lost you see and my graceful master had a task for me."

"Of course. Please follow me."

/-/-/-/-/-/-/

"Thanks for everything, Siesta." Link smiled at her with gratitude.

Siesta was quite nice to chat with and also very helpful in many ways. She had told him a bit more about Halkeginia, Tristain, and helped him with laundry. While Link could wash clothes as well as any traveler he still felt a bit uncomfortable cleaning female undergarments and Siesta was quite gracious doing those parts for him.

More importantly she explained him why it was so dammed important the distinction between nobles and commoners. Link had already guessed that nobles were like the aristocracy of Hyrule, but in Halkeginia every single one of them was a mage. They looked down upon everyone that could not use magic and believed themselves a special kind of human due to their ability to use those powers. Louise had pretty much been a very straight example minus the ability to use magic properly.

They are a bunch of self-absorbed and arrogant bastards even more than the nobles of Hyrule. That also meant that everyone else was a 'commoner' people of lesser importance and more often than not at the mercy of the nobility since they didn't have magic to aid them. Link thought that perhaps changing this situation was his task but dismissed it quickly; as unfair as it were that was not the kind of evil he fought, that was more the kind of thing Princess Zelda does, also the Goddess couldn't care that much over something that was not of their creation, maybe there was a relation between Halkeginia and Hyrule, like with Termina but this place was not of the Goddess making or at the very least Link thought so.

"It's no problem." Siesta had explained to Link that she was still working because another maid had a cold and went to bed early so she took more time finish the last couple of rooms she was cleaning.

"If you ever need help with some menial tasks tell me, I will be glad to help." Link offered politely.

"Hehe, I might just hold you to keep your word." She said walking next to him while guiding him back to Louise's dorm though Link could have found the way back just fine. It was here that Link asked something relevant to his person.

"Mmm… Siesta I have a doubt, have you ever seen pointed eared humans?" Siesta stopped walking and looked at him afraid. "H-have you?" The scared tone of voice was sending alarms through Link's head. Still he had to know about this.

"Yes… as a matter of fact I have Siesta." Siesta took a deep breath. "Like I told you, I am really not from around here."

"Elves, you had seen an Elf but… Wait! Are you form Rub' al Khali in the east?" Siesta was a bit less frightened now. "I don't know if that's the name you have given to where I am from… so maybe?" Link doubted Hyrule was to the east of here but since he needed more information he decided to say a half lie, he really disliked lying even when it was needed.

"That word 'Elf' that is what you call them don't you?" Link asked Siesta who looked a bit wary but then she answered easily.

"Yes, Elves are considered to be strong in natural magic and were notorious for having bad relations with humans even a square mage the strongest class of mage will be at disadvantage against an elf. They are a race that has a long lifespan, much more than a human." Link was silent but nodded, Siesta after a moment continued.

"I can't believe you have seen and elf and lived, I thought every elf will attack humans on principle." Then after a moment as if remembering something she added. "My Grandfather used to say that not all Elves got along badly with humans but recorded history did not agree with him."

"I… haven't been attacked by one. Mmm… maybe I hadn't seen one after all if what you say is true..." Hylians had about the same lifespan that the people of Halkeginia if Louise's age of sixteen years (that he had found out the hard way) combined with how old she looks were anything to go by, so a significant difference in lifespan was noteworthy to Link.

"Huh? How so? If it looks human but with pointed ears it should be an elf." Siesta said with curiosity she was no longer scared.

"It's nothing Siesta sorry for saying it, once again thank you very much for your help." Link gave her his best smile and then a graceful bow, in hopes she wouldn't ask more about his meeting pointed eared people.

"Eh?" Siesta blinked. "There is no need to thank me that much… Well… see you tomorrow Link." She also bowed to him gave a small smile and left as they were close to the student's rooms now. Link made his way to Louise's room.

A moment later Link was looking out of the window in Louise's room at the two moons, his mind filled with thoughts of what was so far the worst birthday ever. He was finally going to see Zelda. He was going to use his ocarina to transport himself to the Temple of Time when the monster hunt was over; she had even sent word to him that she will be making time to see him, a shame really as he finally had mustered the courage to see and talk to her.

Instead he was in this Goddess forsaken land with some of the worst company he ever had, angry cuccos included.

It was a testament to what kind of person he was because he had a small grin on his face no traces of the tiredness he had shown before he was first sucked into the portal.

I have to admit it as awful as I have it here this is indeed a new adventure in a whole new world. The Hero of Time thought with a gleam in his eyes, and since this day forward he was also knows as Zero's familiar.

Author's Note:

Hello! This thing here is my first fanfic and actually the first thing I have ever written in English that I have shown anyone. To tell the truth I almost decided not to publish it since I saw another history done with the Link of OoT/MM but this chapter was already done along with a history draft and the second chapter is halfway written so here it is.

I would like to mention that English is not my native language so if you find anything that seems off, problems with the grammar, verb tenses or an unusual way to say something that may be reason, having say that I do check the text for errors to the best of my ability.

If you can offer any kind of advice (in particular about the battle at the beginning), have any doubts about the history or even if it is only to say that you didn't like it I will be very thankful if you leave a review.

Edited: 2012/11/24 added many needed commas (,) also corrected a typo and added a mention of the golden gauntlets along with the phrase "chosen by the goddesses" in the Moblin fight.
