"What story shall I tell today," said a large tree. Small children dressed
in green and followed by small gleaming lights surrounded the large tree.
"What about the story of our great hero King Link and Queen Zelda?" Asked
one of the children. "Yes I love that story, Great Deku Tree!" Another
child said. "All right." Said the tree. "No, we want to hear a new story!"
Said a girl; she was dressed in all green her green shining hair was pulled
back with a blue ribbon. "Ah Kaymai, what story would you like to hear?"
Asked the tree. "What is Link doing now?" Asked Kaymai. "Yes, yes I've got
just the story!" The tree cried. "But it is not about Link, it's about his
daughter Princess Juno! Our story begins in a far off place outside the
walls of our forest where the forest people dare not go. It begins in a
large field, a field where many travelers have stepped foot in the golden
sunlight. A young girl sits on a brick wall with her horse. The girl is
about fifteen with she has long golden locks tied up in a bun. She wore a
blue dress with the marking of the Triforce, her blue eyes shined with
curiosity as they wandered the countryside. The horse was chestnut in color
with a black muzzle. "I wonder how long it will take the guards to find
me?" Pondered the girl. She looked into her horse big brown eyes and
stroked the horse's muzzle, in the corner of her eye she could see two
white stallions galloping towards her. On the stallions were two men
wearing the Triforce armor and holding the royal flags. Their armor gleamed
in the sunlight. They stopped next to the young girl and one of them said,
"Princess Juno, you are not suppose to leave the castle without your nanny
Impa!" Juno looked up at the guards and cried, " why do you treat me like
I'm a baby, I'm almost fifteen years old and can't leave the castle without
a nanny!" "Well, we should head back to the castle now." Said the other
guard in a demanding voice. "Does anyone listen to me!" Thought Juno.
"Princess you can ride on my horse with me." Said one of the guards. "No I
can ride my own horse, thank you!" Cried Juno as she mounted Epona. They
galloped off to the castle market where many people were pushing and
yelling. A little girl chased a Cucco (chicken) around the market square.
But when the princess entered the market all the people stopped and bowed.
Epona walked slowly though the crowds of people her eyes jumping from
person to person. Juno could hear people mumbling, one old woman mumbled,
"that is the royal princess, hate to see Hyrule when she rules!" Another
one said, "When she rules Hyrule, that's when I'm moving to Tirmania!" Juno
ignored their rude remarks and nudged Epona forward. The gates to the
castle opened and Epona entered in a fast walk, and the two guards were
right behind them. Juno stopped Epona next to the stable and dismounted.
Romonia the stable girl was waiting for Juno. She was dressed in a white
dress that fell just below her knees, her boots were unlaced, and she wore
a blue shawl over her shoulders. Her shiny red hair fell around her neck
and her green eyes glistened in the light of the day. Romonia took Epona
and asked, "Did you have fun miss?" Her eyes filled with curiosity. "Well,
yes, yes I did have fun!" Juno said softly so no one could hear. "Glad to
hear it miss!" Romonia said as she turned to walk Epona back to the stable.
Juno headed towards the castle courtyard to find Impa. She found Impa
sitting on a stone bench in the middle of the castle courtyard. Impa was
holding a small sliver flute and playing Juno's mom's song Zelda's Lullaby.
Impa had light gray hair and dark purple eyes. She wore armor with a blue
chain suit under it. "Hello Impa!" Juno said. Impa just continued on
playing the flute. "I wish I wasn't a princess, my mom thinks everyone is
out to kidnap me!" Juno sighed, " A bet my mom never went out into the
field to play as a girl!" Juno fell back into a small patch of flowers. "
You know Impa!" Said Juno, "I wish my mom and dad were the hero and heroine
of Hyrule!" Juno said as she turned to kneel on the grass. Impa stopped
playing her flute and looked down at Juno. She let out a quiet laugh and
smiled at Juno. "Yes, yes princess they would make great parents for you!"
Impa said in her normal cold deep voice. "Tonight in the ceremony of light,
where we will reopen the Great Temple Of Time, you are going to attend it
right my young princess!" Impa said in a demanding voice. "Yes Impa I would
not miss it for the world." Juno said rolling her eyes. "Now it is time to
get ready for tonight, let us go now princess." Said Impa. "Coming!" Juno
said Juno. Juno took one more look at the courtyard and turned to join
Impa.
