Castle Tow was very quiet as Link and his son rode through. There was no one around. Not even the wimpy guards.
"Where is everyone?" Ordon asked quietly.
"I don't know... I've never seen it like this before..." They stopped and Link got off. "Stay here, don't follow me, or come after me for any reason, okay?"
"Yes father..." Ordon said. He watched his father leave and head up the stairway and into the castle. "Be safe..."
Link walked into the large halls decked out with the marble and stone walls. The lights were on, a sign someone was still here. Maybe the people were here?
"Hello? Zelda, Triden? Are you here?" he called. There was no answer. "Strange, they never leave the castle. Where could they be?"
Triden had only been married to Zelda for ten years and they had become great rulers of Hyrule. Zelda was now queen and had more work to do than ever, especially now that she had two children; Steffin, and Ryu. Both brave young boys training to become knights. Ryu was the eldist, with black hair, like his father, and his mother's eyes. He of course took up archery when he was only five years old, now that he is thirteen; he is training with the big boys.
Steffin on the other hand is learning marksmanship, he is only ten but he knows everything in the book. He looks just like his father, and even has the fears amber eyes like Triden.
Link was hoping he would find one of the young princes here, but they were gone too. It was as if everyone just vanished into thin air. Then he heard something behind him. He turned to see young Steffin.
"Link... What, what are you doing here?" he asked.
"I came to see how you and your parents were, where are they by the way?"
"They're um, upstairs. They're busy right now; you should go home, fast."
"Why?"
"No real reason..."
Link could tell something was wrong. "Steffin... What has happened?"
"It's... I can't say, If I do, they'll hurt the others..."
"Who will hurt the others?"
Steffin looked behind Link with petrified eyes. "I'm so sorry Link..." he said.
Link tried to turn and draw his sword, but was stopped by a hard elbow to his neck. The force of the hit knocked Link out, and he hit the ground with a sickening thud at Steffin's feet.
The young prince looked up at the woman that knocked Link out. She was a monster. Her eyes were all yellow and her skin was an unnaturally pale purple. Her armor was colored like and jester and the breastplates of her wardrobe had yellow eyes to match her own. Horns protruded from her head and shoulders. Her silver hair flowed behind as she came to the boy with a wicked smile.
"Good work, my little pet..." she said darkly. She pet him like he was a dog or something, but he moved back.
"Who are you? And what have you done with my family?" he asked.
"I am the goddess of chaos. This world belongs to me now, and so do the people who live in it." She gave another smile, a bit more mischievous than the last one.
"I am Majora."
