Chapter 1:
After 16 years, Link Jr. will be promoted to head of Hylian army. Even though he's not the best at his educational profile, he's great with women, and he's more capable of doing physical labor than most adults around him. He doesn't know it, but Link has the same adventurous spirit as his father.
"Link! It's time for your music lessons." Zelda calls the prince grin his chamber.
"Yeah sure!"Link calls back. He puts on a green tunic similar to his father's but he doesn't know that. Link runs downstairs with his sword and shield and sneaks out the castle before he mother sees hi. Add usual he goes exploring on his horse Epa who happens to be the daughter of Link Sr's horse Epona. They head to Lake Hylia where Link travels along to reach the Gerudo desert. It takes his less than half the day but becomes lost.
When he gets there, he collapses to the ground and breathes heavily. He drinks the last of his water but looks up in surprise to see a strange girl by the mirror of Twilight. He looks at her curiously.
"Who are you?" The prince asks mesmerized by the girl all the way out in the middle of the desert.
"I-I'm Kira. I-It's nice to meet you." The girl says seeming a bit shy.
"Cool. I'm Link. It's nice to meet you too." Link says with a low smile.
"Why are you out here in the desert?"
"I could ask you the same thing. It's not safe for you to be out here. Not in this heat anyway." Link says getting up and walking over to Kira.
Kira almost freezes out of shyness, but she answers, "I'm here because this is as far as I can go from home." She looks at Link then away worried that if he found out who she was, he'll try to hurt her. Link touches her hand and smiles.
"You should come back to Hyrule with me. It's fun there. If you want to come back, we can." The boy says making the girl smile. Kira nods faintly, and Link starts to take her downstairs. Kira becomes frightened by some of the rats and skeleton bones and screams. Link hugs her and says, "It's fine. We should get going. If we stay here, we'll see a lot more rats than there are." Kira nods sniffling and runs behind Link when he starts to run through the rest of the sand tower. Arriving outside the tower leaves Link a bit tired, but doesn't mind continuing. The two walk through the desert until it gets dark.
The teens sit in the old bulblin camp, and Kira leans against Link's shoulder. She says, "D-Do you think it's safe to be out here like this? Doesn't your mom worry about you?"
"Yeah, but she worries a little too much. It's not a problem I guess. Let's just get some rest." Link says looking at the young red head. She nods and they go to sleep in separate tents 'till the next morning.
