Lilly was your typical seventeen-year-old girl, who was too curious for her own good. Most of her life growing up consisted of staying indoors, which of course, she grew bored of. Living on the outskirts of Castle town and wanting to know what was beyond the town gates. The bustling crowds of people and all the towns delights, Lily made her way through the markets, gathering all the supplies she needed to take home.

"Nana, I'm home!''

Lily yelled as she took off her shoes, suddenly tired from all the walking around the market.

" Tsk tsk you poor soul, you look like you'll drop from exhaustion", her Nana said,

Lily gave a huff and dropped on the sofa. Her Nana smiled and lightly patted her on the head, " you don't have to cook today dear, I'll do that instead, you go upstairs and get some rest".

With that, Lilly gave a sigh of relief before thanking her and heading upstairs.' Tomorrow's my eighteenth birthday huh?', Lily thought as sat at her vanity and brushed her golden locks, she stared into the mirror, cerulean eyes stared back, which reminded her of her mother. Her mother had died when she was young, her nana (caretaker), raised ever since then.

Setting the brush on the vanity, she climbed into bed

'I'm going to make this a birthday I'll never forget', Lily thought as she drifted to sleep...

The next day Lily woke up to a note on her desk, stretching her arms and rubbing the sleep out her eyes, she reads it,

' Happy birthday Lily, I had to visit my friend in castle town, she's awfully ill and I've just gone out to find some herbs for her. Nana'.

Lily read the letter, yawning and rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. She wondered what time her nana would be home, and if she needed any help. Climbing out of bed she changed out of her nightwear and into new clothes. If she could remember correctly, her nana never seemed to mention the whereabouts of her father. Her birthdays were usually celebrated indoors, or an occasional trip around the west wing of town to see the fireworks.

Heading downstairs, she looks down at her feet noticing she forgot to tie her shoes. 'Ugh always forgetting something Lily.' Tieing her shoes quickly, she heads to the kitchen. She thought about writing a note before she left, not wanting to leave her poor nana worrying where she was. Grabbing a piece of paper and a stray pen, she thought about what to write.

'I'm going to head out this morning for my birthday, I won't be out too late!'

Lily looked at the letter squinting her eyes. Good enough I guess.

She set the note on the counter, taking note to look at the oven and making sure there wasn't any pastries cooking.

Lily headed out of the house and took a look around. She thought to visit one of her friends in the main square, but it would be too early. Where should I go first?

To go out in the fields and explore on her own would be ludicrous, but she was feeling rather adventurous, after all, it was her eighteenth birthday. She had always wanted to see what was beyond Hyrule ever since she was a child, and here she was, finally ready to face her fear.

Making her way to the north gates of the town, she spotted to guards, one standing to the left and one to the right.

Taking small steps she walked into view of one of the guard.' Okay, Lily, act normal and maybe they won't arrest you on site.'

Clearing her throat she decided to greet them. "Hello there! a nice day isn't it?"

One of the guards noticed her, turning to her he spoke.

"Yes, weathers nice. Can we help you miss?"

Lily thought about what she was going to say, surely she could come up with a reason.

"You see, I'm a merchant from here. My uncle lives on a ranch not too far from here, I need to get there immediately before he scolds me."

The guard on the left gave her a suspicious look but said nothing.

"A merchant you say. Well, we can let you through, but I advise that you be careful out there. There's been a recent influx of patrolling monsters, we don't know yet where they come from." He looked to the left guard and nodded, signaling to open the gate.

"If you're planning on staying there, I would stay the night and then wander in the day time. Good luck out there miss." The guard said.

Well, if she wasn't doubtful already, then that just took the cake.

"I'll take all the precautionary needs, thank you!." Lily said.

Walking out of the gate she looked around her, in awe.

Well, here goes nothing.

A wide vast land spilled out before her, trees dotted the lands in various patterns. She wished she would've done this much sooner, her nana had told her stories of Hyrule, and places beyond it, like Castor wilds, Zora domain and the like.

She kneeled down and stared at a particular flower, looking at its beautiful blue petals. It reminded her of the flowers her Nana said her mother used to always have, she looked down at her necklace, the strange symbol of a triangle, she vaguely remembered what it was.

Laying down on the soft grass, and the gentle breeze of the wind rustling around her. She closed her eyes, thinking of all the places she would visit next.

Suddenly she heard a voice talking somewhere in the distance, Lily opened her eyes, she didn't recall seeing anyone in the fields..

Lily sat up and pinpointed where the voice was coming from. In the distance, she saw a figure in purple and a weird looking round creature with bat wings. "What in the world is that?" Lily said in utter fascination and shock.

Quickly she hid behind a tree to get a closer look, it looked like to be a person wearing a purple-bluish cape, they had long lavender hair, Lily couldn't quite tell if they were a man or woman, but what she knew was that there was something absolutely wrong about the situation she was in.

Then, out of her worst luck, the weird looking bat creature looks spots her and looks directly at her. Lily's heart almost stopped beating,

oh, goddess it spot me, what do I do?', then the person realizes that the weird bat thing is looking at a person, they turn around.

'It's a guy?, Lilly thought but then mentally slapped herself, There's no way I'm getting out of this Lily, whatever the hell that bat thing or this strange guy is!

Lily then felt her feet, quite literally, lift from the ground and slowly levitated to where they were.

The man in purple snapped his fingers and Lily fell to the ground, she looked up to see red eyes with a glowering down at her.

"Well? explain yourself."

Oh man...
