Chapter 1

It's bright. Way too bright. Everywhere I look, all I see is a white, blank plane of nothingness. I scan the horizon and still see nothing. I feel a strange pressure change in the air. I spin on my heels to see the source. There in the middle of this barren wasteland is a ripple. Floating in midair is a small circle of black and purple, the color of shadow. The air around it is distorted and agitated. The circle expanded while I was watching. It got to be about 8 feet across and then stopped. Then the circle itself became agitated and started losing its shape. It started reaching out. Then it took on a new shape all together. The circle became a man. No, more like the circle was around the man. Keeping him in, trapping him. 'I don't know who or what this thing is but I'm getting the feeling he deserves to be trapped' I think. Part of the encasing the man has around him is cracked and it continues cracking until it breaks away completely showing two large blazing red eyes, full of hatred and malevolent intent. The seal is breaking! My power is growing! He steps forward and I begin to back away. But I'm not fast enough and he's faster than someone with his size should be able to be. He lunges and latches onto my throat faster than my eyes can follow. It doesn't help my eyesight is now going fuzzy from lack of oxygen. The seal is breaking! My power is growing! He repeats, I'm coming for you. His encasing begins to crack again to reveal...

"BIIIIIIG BROOOTHER!"

I jerk up just in time to see Aryll coming up the ladder. "Hey Link. I knew I'd find you up here. Were you sleeping again!" I just look at her, knowing she'll continue since i never answer anyways. "You're still half asleep, aren't you? Link, it's your birthday!" My eyes open completely as I realize, it IS my birthday. "Grandma wants to see you right now." Oh shit. What did I do now? I smile and hold up my hands as if to say 'o-k Aryll im going now' climbing down the ladder I see my sister start ordering the seagulls like they were her ruthless pirate crew. Jumping down the ladder I looked around and breathed in deeply. Outset Island was just the same this morning as any other. Walking across the bridge, I think of my grandpa and everyone else that wasn't here. All the dads and moms that are out with their happy sons and daughters, all older than me, fishing for the town money and off season. Granted it was a small island and I tend to exaggerate since there was actually just my grandfather and some of his friends from other islands doing him a favor by helping out our islands. But in my head I always imagined a great fleet of Outset Island fishermen catching the worlds finest fish. Coming out of my fantasy i realise im already half way across the bridge and standing in my way is Joel. I smile at the kid as he looks at me adoringly. I don't know what I ever did to earn the kids affection but ever since he treated me like a big brother. No, scratch that, Aryll teased me more about my lazy habits.

"Hey Link. How are ya?" Joel asked happily. I simply nodded my head as if to say 'I'm fine. How are you?'

"I'm good too. Im just tryin' to reach that last rock out there." he continued pointing at a large rock about twenty feet out into the water and the only way to get to said rock was to jump on other smaller rocks. "Do ya think you could show me how to do it again?" he asked trying to make his eyes as big as possible in a begging motion. I smiled. Oh what the hell. I thought. Leaping from one rock to another I quickly make it to the large rock. I turn and make a huge bow before diving into the water and swimming the rest of the way.

After helping Joel's dad Abe catch a piglet for Rose, Joel's mom, I managed to duck around old man Sturgeon, who even though is one the smartest people I know is a little forgetful and every day would give me the same advice on how to talk to people far away from yourself,Like it's that hard to look and yell,and finally made it home to Granny's house. Climbing the ladder inside to the shelf that served as the 'upstairs' he found Granny looking whistfully at the shield that hung there on the wall. I never got the point but if it made Granny happy then whatever. After clearing my throat she turned around and smiled.

"Happy birthday Link." she said. I grinned. Looking down at a bag at the base of the altar for the family shield my grin widened as I imagined my present. Here let me explain:
At age fourteen you become the same age the legendary Hero of Time was when he started out his journey and therefore was considered a man. This would be my first present as an adult.

Reaching into the bag Granny brought out...

Clothes.

They were green and they looked warm for the middle of spring but I humored my grandmother and put them on. The end result was me wearing white skinny jeans, a long green shirt that would look like a dress if it weren't for the jeans, leather boots and belt, and last but not least, a hat. I mentally groaned. I forgot to mention that another tradition for a fourteenth birthday is that you have to dress up like the Hero of Time. What was wrong with the Hero of Time I mean these clothes dont even breathe. They're awful... except maybe the hat. I kinda like it. Of course none of this came out he simply thanked Granny with a kiss on the forehead and headed outside. Immediately after leaving the house Sue stopped by carrying a pot on her head. Sue and I were good friends. She and I were about the same age but she had hit a huge growth spurt making her much taller than me. And knowing her I could expect to be tormented to her hearts content.

"Hey Link." she greeted him with a knowing grin, "What's with the get up?" I puffed out my chest and flexed my muscles.

She laughed, "Thats right you turn the same age as the hero today huh big man." She said that last part while batting her eyelashes. It made me blush and let her get away with joking about my height unscathed. After being outran for about twenty minutes straight i finally gave up and said bye to Sue. Seeing Orca next he found the old man practicing inside his hut. An hour later I was panting with sweat stinging my eyes as dodged yet another strike from Orca's Stave.

"Come on lad." Orca encouraged, "You must concentrate." I didn't respond as I rolled under another high sweep to late and it knocked me against the far wall. "Ninety-Nine to Two lad. Next point wins." he stated. The challenge was that I had to hit him One hundred times before he could hit me three times. It didn't seem fair but Orca would always weight his stave to handicap himself slowing his movements considerably. But these clothes are heavy and slowed my own movements as well. blinking the sweat out of my eye's I charged the old man and swung downward at his head... and hit the wall again. He had been able to jab me and throw me across the room before I could even start swinging downward. Damn! I thought as gritted my teeth. after bowing he dismissed me and I left knowing there was only one place I wanted to go.

Aryll was having a great time. So far she and her crew had looted five ships, raided three islands, and generally spread the fear of the seagul pirates across the great sea. In other words she'd spied on everybody on the island and ordered around the seaguls. "Now where's Link?" she muttered to herself as I poked my head up at the top of the ladder. Aryll continued to scan the entire island with her eyepiece as I started to sneak up behind her. Just as I was about to 'saved your life' her she turned and yelled BOO in my face. I jumped back and nailed my head against the wodden pillar that kept the whole fort up. She was cracking up! I stuck my tongue out as if to say 'I'm glad you think this is so funny.' Whiping her eye she finally stopped laughing and wishes me happy birthday.

"Here." she said handing me her eyepiece, "This is my prized possession and id like you to have it for today. You can't keep it but you can consider it a loan." I smiled letting her know I was gratefull. "Well," she said rocking on her heels, "try it out." scanning the island i zoomed in on Quil the mail man. He's a Rito, or a birdman, who delivers mail strictly to Outset Island as well as another good friend of mine. He seemed to be really freaking out about something.

"Big brother. LOOK!" she yelled pointing at the sky. Aiming the eyepiece where she was pointing and zooming out slightly I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was a giant black bird wearing a mask with giant yellow glowing eye's. Zooming in on its talons I saw... A GIRL! Canonballs were flying by them like crazy. Looking to their sorce I saw a ship sailing with the Jolly Roggers flag.

"Pirates!" Aryll yelled happily. Ignoring Aryll returned my focus to the bird just in time to see it get nailed by a canonball and drop its precious cargo on Fairy Mountain. While Aryll was still cooing over the pirates I had taken no hesitation in creating a plan and jumping from the lookout point to the ocean below. "Big brother what are you doing?" my sister yelled after me when she had noticed I had jumped. Yet again I ignored her. The instant I hit dry land I fell into a dead sprint for Orca's house. Coming in and yelling for Orca I noticed that my palms had started to sweat. Coming in from the other room with a toothbrush still in his mouth he was about to ask what was going on when I saw him seem to notice something.

"Oh dear." Orca said concerned and looked at me with a proud look on his face, "You react fast lad." He turned around and started walking back into his house."Next to the door lad." Orca called over his shoulder. Looking around he found the hero sword. Inspecting it quickly I ran out the door to the mountain path.

I gulped and tried to swallow my fear at the same time. Outset Island had two mountains with a stretch of ocean water between them. The only way into the forest on top of Mt. Fairy was a rickety rope bridge with missing planks in the middle. Steeling my nerves I tucked in my arms and put down my head as I engaged in yet another dead sprint. Staying in the middle of the bride to reduce sway and keep his balance he hurled himself over the gap in the middle. Noting that if I fell from this height hitting the water below would be like hitting concrete and it wouldn't feel all to pleasant. When I reached the other side of the gorge I had to supress the desire to kiss the dirt beneath my feet.

Upon entering the forest I saw that the girl was dangling from a branch over a section of the small forest that only could be reached if I went all the way around. Just as I jumped into the second section I noticed a particularly purple pig-like thing it didn't seem to live here since here barely had squirrels. Thats when the bokoblin noticed me. Screeching at me i notice it's eyes were small and beady wich explained why it was sniffing the ground. Bokoblins were near sighted. But that didn't stop it. It screeched at me and hefted a spiked club at me. It's skills were obviously at an amature level, that much was clear top me when I side stepped the club and thrusted the sword into the Bokoblin's chest. Almost instantly after the sword pierced the pig mutants flesh, said mutant began crumbling int a small pile of ash. Well that helps with cleanup alot. continuing on he finally came to the area where the girl was suspended over. The branch that was holding her up stretched all the way out too cover a large area with its canopy. She was dangling above the middle of the clearing and directly below her was a moblin. They were just like bokoblins except the fact that they were bigger, stronger, had perfect sight, even better hearing and smell and they were all around better. I sighed. Show time. I jumped into the arena shaped clearing and landed loudly tipping the moblin off to my presence. It hefted a large spear as its weapon when it saw me draw my sword. Damn. Hopefully this turns out better than when I spar with Orca.

We began to circle each other as we were sizing each other up. My heart rate sped up as the moblin took a swipe at me. My peripheral vision faded. Certain areas of the moblin seemed to light up slightly. There was a spot on its throat that I assumed was its jugular, One spot under his armpit where there was probably a weak spot in its ribs, and its snout. I smiled deviously as a plan formed in my mind. Throwing the heroes sword at the his hoove made him back step before putting on an evil pig grin. It started advancing and I started to back up. When my back touched the tree a grin spread across my face. The moblin thrusted with his spear. I jumped as high as I could and tucked in my legs for good measure. Landing beside the spear, wich was planted in firmly in the tree, I pulled back and slammed my fist into the moblin's stupid looking pig snout. There was a crunch and the moblin's eyes glazed over and rolled back in its head. CRACK! Looking up I saw that the branch the girl was hanging from had been shaken when the moblin had stabbed the tree and was now bending and cracking. The motion seemed to finally wake her up cause at that moment she opened her eyes to see the fall she was facing and began to struggle making the branch bend even more. My eyes widened as I saw the branch break. My eyes widened even more as all the air escaped my lungs. Looking up at the girl that had landed on him he saw she was skinny with the tan skin of a sailor and blond hair bleached by the sun to an almost neon hue, she had faded sailor clothes encrusted with sea salt and a leather belt with a curved dagger sheathed on it. She had long pointed ears like Aryll and I had. She was pushing herself as close to my chest as possible, her hands clenching my shirt. Her eyes, shut tightly, were just fluttering open. And they were a beautiful chocolate brown.

"Where am..." she trailed off when she noticed then position we were in. I noticed about the same time. She was straddling my waist and her head was resting on my shoulder where it had landed when I caught her. I could feel the creeping warmth of a blush filling me cheeks. That's when I heard a familiar and unwelcome grunt of a certain pig mutant thing. Especially during such a 'good dream' moment like this. The warmth drained from my cheeks into my eyes sparking fiery rage in them. Pushing the girl off in a firm but gentle manner he slipped the dagger out of its sheath. Weilding the dagger I ran at the charging beast and met it in the middle. After circling each other again the moblin swung at me with a right hook. Ducking it I sidestepped the pig and drove the dagger into the weak spot under the arm but the monster didn't die. I swung myself onto the moblins back and pulled out the dagger just to drive it into the beasts neck. The monsters gutteral cry was cut short as he turned to ash under me and blew away in a sudden gust of wind.

Feeling a hand on my shoulder I turned to see the girl coming up behind me and reaching for her dagger, wich was still in my hand.

"Thank you for saving me." she muttered with a blush as she resheathed her dagger. I smiled and nodded. As I retrieved the heroes sword from where I had thrown it as a distraction I turned to see a large man enter the clearing. After talking to the girl the girl for a second she frowned and nodded.

"I've to go now." she said with a deepening frown, "I'm gonna pay that damn bird back for dropping me on this mountain." she turned and began following the large man. "Coming?" she called over her shoulder. I followed her out, not wanting any more of this goddess forsaken forest, and because he still wanted to know more about this girl I had saved.

When the girl, the large man, and I had reached the entrance to the forest the the first thing that hit us was the driving wind and rain. Looking over to the other side of the gorge I saw Aryll waving happily. Waving back I stepped forward... and slipped in the wet grass and fell on my ass. Aryll laughed and decided she was gonna have to help her big brother. After all, Aryll reasoned, he's always clumsy when a girl is around. With that she started down the bridge to help her bother.

I watched as my sister started along the bridge when I gota bad feeling. Without warning I took off sprinting towards my sister, letting my smile fall from my face leaving only the expression of concern behind. Out of nowhere a screech echoed off the mountains as a certain giant bird came sailing through and grabbing Aryll it began its flight out to sea taking Aryll out to sea. Oh no you dont! I mentally screamed at the bird. I yanked my shirt over my head and bundling it into my pouch, and without thinking, I jumped.

A/N: So yeah there's where it starts to change into my A/U. oh and just to clear some things up I made Tetra's eyes brown for a lot of different reasons. the two major ones were 1. I think it's a nice change for one of the main characters to have a different eye color from the hero for once, and 2. Tetra is by FAR my favorite zelda in the line. She's unique not only in the design but she is the only one with a cocky, headstrong, and bold personality to go with all her 'wisdom'. so brown eyes it is. get used to it.
