Ruki44: Ok to fully understand this story you'll need a basic grasp of the timeline so I'll lie it out as simply as I can possibly put it.

Years After Ocarina Of Time: 100 or so

Years After Twilight Princess: 7

Years Between Twilight Princess and Goodbye My Friend: 2

Years After Goodbye My Friend: 5

Years After Wind Waker: 2

Years After Phantom Hourglass: 1

Years Between Twilight Princes and Wind Waker: 1000 or so? However long it needs logically for the Zoras to evolve into the Rito

Ok the run down is 2 years after the events of Twilight Princess another unidentified evil I haven't thought of yet attacks Hyrule. Zelda seeing this is ending up as a slaughterfest sends away everyone who doesn't basically force her to let them stay. This includes the Hylian Army, and two of the Hylain Royal Knights (Link is the green Hylian Knight and Tetra is the descendent of him and Zelda. Link and Aryll are the descendent of the Blue Hylian Knight who also stayed. The Red and Vio Hylian Knights were unable to stay for reason later made up in the story). The main reasons the sages don't go is because Zelda feels that they will be needed in the new land she has sent them too to help Midna who she crowned her successor. It is also important to note that not only Hylians stayed, but some other races manged to stay behind. Midna only believed that the Hylians stayed behind. This includes some Zora including Laruto's daughter (who would have been Ralis' cousin because Laruto and Ralis' mother were sisters, Ralis' mother being the elder sister), Gorons, Gerudo and humans. It is also important to know that Zelda and Link had an infant daughter at this time only a couple months old. She was kept secret to keep her safe, therefore allowing for the existance of Tetra. Anyways back the the timeline, after Zelda casts Hylian Phoniex, Link freezes Hyrule in time with the Master Sword (yes this will all be explained later on. I'm telling you this now so you aren't as confused) which is seen when Link in the Wind Waker goes to the frozen Hyrule under the sea. Now it's also important to know that since (TP) Link froze Hyrule in time, he froze the land above Hyrule in time and so basically the Great Sea was lost in time up until (WW) Link pulls the Master Sword out of the pedestral and returning The Great Sea into the timestream. So in the span of three years the Great Sea is several thousand years or something in the future compared to the "orginial Hyrule". The last two years the time is the same between the two.

Basically:

OoT------TP--So Long My Friend/Start of sealed history for suviors------------WW Link Pulls out the Master Sword Returning Great Sea to the timestream--This chapter

Ruki: Oh god this hurts my head.

Rukia: What about the sages? Shouldn't they be obscenly old?

Ruki44: Good question. Up until So Long My Friend they were in some other spirtual place and didn't age. The ages for the younger kids are as follows:

Tetra: 14

Link: 14

Colin: 17

Beth: 16

Talo: 14

Malo: 11

Ralis: 17

Tetra: Why is this so complicated?

Hinata: Because Legend of Zelda is nothing but one big paradox that's why! That's why fanfiction authors can screw around with it and fear no consequence!

Tetra: Sad but true.

Ruki44: Anyways, you may notice some changes which I will touch base on at the end of the chapter. Till then I don't own anything!

New Island, New Faces

A young pirate girl woke up with a start. Her messy blonde hair fell in front of her ocean blue eyes which usually radiated playfulness now radiated fear. The dream, it was so real. She placed her face in her hands to find out she was sweating.

"Tetra?" She looked up to see Link standing in the doorway rubbing his emerald green eyes, his blonde hair was even messier and a look of sincere concern on his face. "You alright?" She looked down and curled up.

"…" She didn't reply. He stepped hesitantly in her doorway which on a normal day meant a quick and surely painful death, but he was going to risk it.

"Tetra, are you…" he wasn't able to get his question out before the said pirate girl interrupted him.

"Link…I…I'm scared. There was carnage everywhere, screams and shouts of the dying and wounded…there was the dark thing and then…I saw nothing but light, when I could see again, it was starting to rain in sheets and there was this phoenix blocking the darkness and then…the darkness lunged and that's when I woke up…it was so real Link…" she whispered. She looked down as she felt her eyes start to tear up. Then a pair of small, strong arms wrapped around her.

"Tetra, it's ok. It's just a dream and I'm here now so just relax ok?" he murmured, quieting the small pirate captain. Tetra just nodded like the lost child she was.

"Ok…" She muttered. Just then a loud voice broke the tender moment between the two.

"Hoy! Land!" Gonzo's ecstatic voice carried through the whole ship. The two quickly looked at each and sprinted up on deck, both in their pajamas. Tetra looked over the railing with an exited glee. She hadn't placed a foot on dirt since the Phantom Ship ordeal. The men were running around, getting the preparations ready to land. She figured that the guys were excited to have some beer in one of the local pubs.

"Wow…" Link breathed from beside her, taking the land in, the childlike wonder having never once left his face.

"Pretty big island." Tetra grinned at him, voicing the thought out loud. The largest island either of them had been on population wise was Windfall Island which was more or less like a village. This place seemed able to pass for a town or maybe a small city.

She smiled and leaned on the railing letting the wind whip through her hair. She had a good feeling about this island.

XxXxXxXxXx

"Did you hear about the new sailors that landed here?" Colin rolled his eyes as he walked through the streets. Ever since Hyrule had split over their next leader, half of them stayed in Tauru while half of them moved to the ocean side where trading and fishing seemed to prevail over everything. It was also a rather easy life seeing as no monsters seemed to be around, making his profession as a swordsman rather difficult but every now and then, like today for example, he would be hired out to guard something.

"Heard about them, I got a glimpse of them!" Another one bragged. Colin couldn't help but be interested, even though this was a trading town, when new people came into the dock, the whole town was a blaze.

"Really, what were they like?" The man's friend asked curiously. The second man quieted down real quick. That caught Colin's attention real fast.

"I only saw a girl. She was rather young, about pre-teen I would have to guess. She was a blonde and rather tan, perhaps she has some Gerudo blood in her. But that wasn't the thing that drew my attention, it was her eyes man!" The second one declared.

"What do you mean?" Colin found himself unwillingly join in the conversation. The men looked at him briefly before the man who had saw the glimpse of the new girl continued.

"They were blue, and they were crystal clear. But the strangest thing is when I saw them, the first thing I thought of was…" The man lingered for a moment before his voice dropped a pitch. "Princess Zelda, the way she would look when she was always thinking about things. And then it was gone, along with that look in her eyes, instead it was replaced by how a child's eyes should look." The man admitted.

"Weird." Colin admitted as the other men agreed whole heartedly with him. Just then the town clock started to ring and Colin remembered where he had to be. "Crap, I'm late for my job! Nice talking to you!" Colin yelled as he ran toward the center of town.

XxXxXxXxXx

Link wondered why he had to do this job. Then he remembered, the ship had been totaled, they were out of food, they needed new clothes and they were practically out of money. And Tetra, although being a pirate, forbidden anybody from stealing. Some pirate he mused, but that's what made Tetra, well Tetra.

"I'm sorry that I'm late!" Link looked over to see a boy with bowl cut blonde hair bowing to his new employer. The man waved it off.

"No big deal Colin, I was just explaining to your partner about the job." Link was taken by surprise on this one, as was the boy named Colin. Colin looked at him, studying him over before his attention turned to the employer.

"Partner?" He questioned as the man nodded.

"Yes, the job I originally requested you for went up in danger level and I felt uneasy having just one swordsman guarding it, so I thought I should hire another one to be on the safe side when I ran into this young man, who I haven't got the name of yet." The employer trailed off laughing sheepishly. "Dear me, I'm so sorry. And I didn't even introduce myself. I am Jenkins, and I am the master of this house." Jenkins introduced himself.

"Link." He said simply, not feeling the need to divulge any more personal information. Jenkins nodded.

"Well Colin, as I was telling Link here I need you two to guard my house from robbers. You've heard about the houses being hit up around the neighborhoods recently am I correct? Well I have reason to believe that this house is next on their target." Link glanced at the house as Colin was receiving the whole story while giving confused looks at him. House huh? He was honestly surprised that this place wasn't marked first. It was a freaking mansion!

"Now why don't you two boys get acquainted, after all you're going to be spending the night in each other's company." Jenkins said merrily as he walked off. Both boys stared after him with looks on their faces, each for a different reason.

XxXxXxXxXx

"That couldn't have sounded any more wrong if he tried." Colin jumped and looked at the boy that called himself Link. Colin looked at him confused then got what the young boy was getting at as a look of disgust came across his face.

"I didn't think about that, thank you for sharing that thought with me." Colin commented as Link shrugged but he had a sneaky suspension that the boy was amused by his reaction.

"So you're Link huh?" Colin asked him, trying to start a conversation, not feeling comfortable having to be around a person he really doesn't know for a whole night.

"Yea." Link replied, giving him a look that was asking him 'Didn't I just say that?' Colin laughed uneasily a bit.

"I knew a guy named Link once…" This seemed to attract the other boy's attention rather fast.

"Really? Tetra said my name was weirder the Moe and Maggie getting hitched." Link commented nodding his head. Colin sweatdropped at this and decided not to ask.

"Yea, he was a great guy. He lived in Ordon with the rest of us before we came here. He was an awesome swordsman and there wasn't any form of weaponry he couldn't do. Plus he would always hang out with us when he was…around." Colin had to refrain himself from using the world alive. Link gave him a look before asking the question Colin knew was coming.

"What happened to him?" It wasn't prying or anything, it was simple curiosity. Colin tried to shrug nonchalantly.

"Died in a war. So where are you from?" Colin answered quickly before asking the other boy his own question to get off the topic. The boy thankfully didn't pressure the issue farther.

"Outset Island. It's way north of here." Link replied shrugging his shoulders as he jerked his thumb over his shoulder. Colin nodded his head.

"Never heard of it. So I take it you're not from around here." Colin asked, beginning to wonder if Link was part of the crew that had just docked earlier this morning.

"Yea." Link answered, if one was to call it that.

"You part of the crew that just docked here earlier this morning?" Colin blurted out, needing to know if his hunch was correct. Link merely nodded.

"Yea, that's me." Colin felt himself smile. Now he had a reason to brag too. Not only was he talking to the new guy, but he was working with him as well. New travelers were relatively uncommon in this town despite it being a port city.

"I heard a couple of guys talking about a blonde girl with tan skin and blue eyes. You know her?" Colin asked curiously, hoping to find a bit more about the mysterious girl that had the shipyard a buzz. Link looked surprised.

"Tetra you mean?" Link asked confused. Colin nodded his head.

"Possibly. What's she like and what does she do?" He asked sitting down getting ready to get into a man to man conversation. Link seemed to mull over the question a bit.

"Kind but has kind of a hot temper. She's incredibly smart but when her emotions get in the way all reasoning goes out the window." Link answered.

"I see." He mused as he recalled the earlier statement made in the shipyard.

Princess Zelda huh? He snorted to himself. Everyone is Princess Zelda these days.

XxXxXxXxXx

Tetra felt rather proud of herself. Odd little talents did come in handy she thought triumphantly. She played a harp that Medlii had given her before she and Link had left to search for a new Hyrule.

"You play pretty well." She looked up to see a woman with white hair and red eyes. She was wearing armor that had an eye crying on it. Kind of creepy, but she had seen worse. She gave a woman a smile.

"Thanks. Would you like to hear anything in particular? I can play it if I know it or you can give me a tune or something, and I can try my best from there." Tetra said cheerfully strumming her harp. The woman seemed to think about her offer before nodding her head.

"How about a lullaby?" The woman said finally. Tetra raised an eyebrow. What an odd request. Oh well, a request was a request. She played the song that her mother used to sing to her at night.

"In these wavering skies, I will fly to you.

Since we've always been together, the space between us has become too big.

Waiting for your honest reply, anyone would be lonely.

If your crying in the town I can't see, even if I am not with you, my smile will reach you.

In these wavering skies, I will fly to you.

I can feel it this close, these two feelings."

Tetra finished feeling the odd sense of nostalgia leave her that always came on when she heard this song. The woman seemed impressed.

"You sing rather well as well. What's your name?" The woman praised her. Tetra smiled broadly.

"I'm Tetra, I just landed here earlier today. How about you Miss, what about you?" Tetra asked pleasantly. The lady chuckled softly.

"Nice to meet you Tetra, I'm Impa. By the way, what was that song you were playing just now?" Impa asked the young pirate girl innocently. Tetra grinned and strummed the harp again.

"It's called Yura Yura, my mom used to sing it to me at night." Tetra admitted shrugging, blurry flashes of her mother flashed past her eyes before once again falling into oblivion. Tetra had forgotten what her mother looked like a long time ago. She hardly even remembered the woman anymore but that didn't stop the occasional quick memories. Impa smiled, but Tetra noticed it was a sad smile.

"A promise song huh…kind of sad." Impa remarked. Tetra strummed the harp a bit uncomfortably, not liking where the conversation was going. Luckily, it seemed Impa was leaving for the sun was starting to set. The woman stretched and looked at the setting sun which made Tetra sweatdrop. Was it really that late? Impa threw 100 rupees at Tetra's feet which made the young pirate girl look up in confusion.

"I appreciate this and all, but really, it's a bit much." All Impa did was laugh however and made Tetra a pit peeved.

"I never heard of a street performer complaining about how much they get before. You certainly are unique child." Impa told her as she turned around and gave a half wave.

"Better get back to your ship before your captain gets mad at you." Tetra growled as she scooped up the money she had earned that day. She hated it when people didn't take her seriously.

Ruki44: As you may have noticed, Link does NOT tell Colin that he is a part of a pirate crew now. Reason? Because to tell somebody your a pirate when you are trying to keep a low profile is just plain retarded.

Tetra: So you gave him a brain this time huh?

Ruki44: Yea. And Impa doesn't know that Tetra is a pirate. I mean looking back it is kind of creepy when somebody you don't know magically knows you are a pirate. This change will also lead into the fact that not until later will it be revelaed that Tetra is a pirate and a mage. There will be a lot of other changes that I have deemed things unnecessary and needing to be taken out or changed and you will see that in later chapters.

Ruki: So you are give this bad boy a total rehaul. Nice. When do you plan on updating your other stories.

Ruki44: ...Soon...maybe

Hinata: You are hopeless, you know that?

Ruki44: ANYWAYS, till next time! Thanks for stopping by and if you can, review!

Rukia: Like it how she dodged the question....
