Chapter One
Home Sweet Home
Link rode in to Ordon on the back of his beautiful chesnut brown mare, Epona. Link sat slouched over on his companion with one arm held loosely around her reins and the other casually hanging by his side. It had been a long year, he was no longer a boy now but instead the Hero of Light. When he looked up he finally saw what he was looking for, home. It felt nice to know that he had defeated Ganondorf and Hyrule was at peace again, but yet he couldn't shake off the bad feeling that was in the back of his mind. After all Ganondorf had said before he died "Do not think it ends here. The history of light and shadow has been written in blood." Those two sentences stayed etched into Link's mind ever since Midna had left the light realm and returned to the twilight where she belonged. Link thought of her often, especially at this part of the day when the sky turned an organish pink color, it reminded him of Midna's hair, he missed her but he knew that their paths would never cross again, they lived in two seperates worlds and Link had to accept that.
Link jumped off of Epona and proceeded to take off her saddle and removed her bridle before tying her up next to the post near his house, he was far too tired to take her to Fado's Ranch tonight, it was only one night, Epona had suffered worse conditions. After Link made sure Epona was tied up safely he placed the saddle and bridle into the small shed by the back of his house before he climbed the ladder up to his doorstep. Link's legs felt like jelly by the time he had reached the last wrung of the never-ending ladder. Link opened the door to his home only to find it disappointing. He didn't know what he expected but he at least wanted it to be more welcoming. Link shut the door behind blotting out all possible light that could come in from the outside, the movement from the door disrupted the looming dust that covered Link's house like a blanket and caused Link to go into a coughing fit. The other bad thing about the house was how cold it felt, Link pulled out his lantern and kneeled down to the fireplace, there were only a few logs for a fire but Link didn't need much, he would probably fall asleep as soon as the fire was lit. Link watched the fire for a little while, mesmerized by the red-orange flame. "Midna..." he laughed to himself quietly as he stood up from the floor wiping of his dusty knees.
He was far too tired to climb up another ladder to go up to his bed so instead he grabbed a blanket that was resting next to his comfy armchair and sat himself down on the armchair. He watched the fire and reminised with himself about the previous year. He had done a lot for a seventeen, soon to be eighteen, year old boy, he had defeated giant posionous plants, the possessed goron, a massive sea creature, a possessed fossil, large spiders, and dragons, then he defeated Zant, the false king of the Twilight, and finally saved Zelda and all of Hyrule from Ganondorf and from being consumed into Twilight forever. As the fire withered out so did Link's consciousness and he finally allowed himself to rest.
Link awoke and found himself in a prison cell. When he looked down, to his horro he saw furry white and gray paws with sharp claws. When he turned around he saw a fluffy tail swaying back and forth. Link tried to run but his left paw was in a shackle, this was all too familiar. He began to panic, and started to yell, but all that came out was a low howling noise, he started digging, and gnawing at the chain that kept him hostage. He looked around desperatley for a way out and to his surprise he found a small gray key to freedom only a few inches away, he jumped forward on all four of his paws to grab the key but to his disappointment he couldn't pick it up. Without opposable thumbs it was useless.
Link didn't understand, Zelda and Midna had promised him everything would go back ot normal after Ganondorf and the Mirror of Twilight was destroyed. So why had he returned to his beast form? It only happend when he was in the twilight or when Midna was around. Suddenly something went off in Link's head, if he was a wolf then Midna did have to be around somewhere, maybe she was going to surprise him, but why would she chain him up like that? But still it was highly impossible for this to happen...unless...just then Link's one chance for freedom started gliding across the cold cobble stone floor and slipped through the jail cell's cold metal bars. Link then heard a low but distinct laughter, he held his breath, his worst nightmare had been comfirmed and it felt as if he had just doused in ice water. Slowly looking up he saw what he had feard, staring at him was a slightly amused Ganon, his sepia beady eyes were piercing into Link like hot needles.
"I told you. But then again...did you really think you could stop me?" Ganon said his voice was cocky. "Fool," he cackled. "I am much too powerful. Even the 'Hero of the Light' cant stop me." he said mocking Link. "Soon everyone in Hyrule will renounce me as their king and bow to me. It starts tonight, my plan is already in progress." Ganondorf smiled through his crooked teeth as Link growled maliciously at him, but to Link's dismay Ganondorf just laughed.
"So long blue-eyed beast." Ganon sneered before he turned and left, taking the key to Link's freedom along with him. Link was in disbelief, after all his hard work, nothing. He began to cry for help but all that was heard was the lonely barks and howls from a wolf.
Link then snapped awake panting and drenched in sweat. The fire was completely out now and the house was pitch black, no light was coming in through the window so Link grabbed out his lantern and climbed up to his loft bed.
"It was only a dream..." he reassured himself, "It was only a dream."
