Chapter 1: The New Servant

I was only 10 years old when he came into my life. My parents needed someone to trust that would support the Royal Family. One young Twili man met their expectations. His name was Zant.

Ever since the Twili people were separated from the world of light, we've endured hard times. New systems needed to be established, and old ways had to go. And we still needed more loyalty next to the leaders.

My parents, Milon and Elizabeth, told me Zant would be living with us for a long time. He was merely 15 years old! But since my parents trusted him, I knew it was my responsibility to trust him as well.

Loud knocking from the door rang through our mansion. My father, a stout man, dashed through the halls to answer it. My father had yellow eyes in addition to a dark blue face. He was well-respected as the king of the Twilight Realm, and thus, I was called the Twilight Princess.

My father opened the door. Behind it was a tall, confident, young Twili man. His pale blue face was matched with pale orange eyes. It was Zant.

"You must be Zant!" My father said.

"I am," said Zant, slightly smirking.

"A pleasure to meet you; I am Milon," my father said, shaking Zant's hand.

"The pleasure's all mine," Zant replied. "I appreciate you hiring me, my king."

"You only seemed fit for the job when I heard about you," said my father. "These are desperate times, and we need servants we can trust!"

"Glad I could be of..." Zant paused for a moment, and his eyes locked with mine. It was a tense moment, and I felt a completely different intention within those pale eyes.

"...assistance." He finished with a strange smile.

"Let me show you to your room!" My father said.

Zant followed him through the hallways, looking at me again. What was he thinking? I couldn't be sure, so I just waited for now...


A/N: I apologize for the wait; life gets in the way. I would have wrote more, but I want to give my readers a sneak peak despite my situation. Chapter 2 should probably be longer, and most chapters hopefully won't be this short. Sorry again, and I hope to write more soon!
