Since my tree house is at least forty feet above the ground, I've gotten use to using a strong vine as my exit path. Sure I could use my magic too, but where's the fun in that?

"Oh snap, I almost forgot!" I hurried to the closet and took my Kokiri Spear, good rule of thumb; when you're the protector of something very important, it's always a good idea to have your weapons wherever you go. You never know when evil will decide to strike!

For safety, I took my Book of Sorcery and hid it with me.

Okay! Now I'm ready! I took a step back, secured my grip on the vine, and with a running start I leapt feet first out the small window. After doing this countless times I'm able to slip right through!

"Yaaaaaaaay!" The exhilaration of flying through the cool air felt amazing! Not to mention the adrenaline rush I get from dodging trees and tall rocks keeps my wits in shape!

I blinked and in the next second I was free flying through the air, the vine had slithered right out of my grasp.

Using my Kokiri Spear, I generated a Deku leaf to soften my fall. Except I managed to catch an upward wind instead, I shot up so high in the air I could see for miles!

"Whoaaaa!" I was awed at the spectacular sight. There were mountains, rolling hills, and a sparkling lake far off in the horizon line. The glow of the morning sun gave a beautiful tint to the already stunning environment.

Once the wind settled down I lowered to the ground little by little. I let go of the leaf when I got close enough to the ground where I could fall and not hurt myself. Pulling off a graceful landing, I posed with my Kokiri Spear and lightly giggled. My aqua blue ponytail whipped casually in the wind.

I brushed off my clothes with my hand and prepared to go back.

"EEEEAAAAAIII!"

I heard a girl screaming in the distance, my heroine instincts kicked in immediately. I quickly hopped to the top of a nearby boulder, hoping I could get a good look before I jump in the middle of the possible action.

I could barely notice something happening over a rock wall, but nothing else.

"I can't see anything, but it sounds like trouble I better go!"

I jumped to the ground and darted down the path that led through the rock wall. I made it to the other side and ran around a steep hill.

My heart took a giant leap at what I saw.

There stood a spiky-skinned, demon-like creature. Pitch black with orange eyes, long crimson horns, and thick, sharp teeth. Crimson like the horns. Not large, but not small either.

A little hylian girl stood with her back against a tree, terrified by the monster.

"What in all of Hyrule is that thing!?"

Seriously, I had never seen anything like this before!

"Hey, you!" I shouted at the devil. It averted its attention to me.

"Leave that little girl alone!"

The demon fiercely roared at me in response. Geez, bad breath is one thing but this monster could gag a maggot!

"It is not nice to ROAR AT PEOPLE!" I retorted.

I used my Kokiri Spear to summon several branches and vines around the monster, while the monster was confused the Great Deku Tree popped out from under the ground right beneath it, sending the beast flying through the air.

I did my usual gesture of hopping off the branch of the Deku Tree and waving at him, thanking him for his help before he disappeared.

The monster hit the ground and got up quickly, teeth and claws bore. It let out a low growl and stared me down, I glared right back at it.

It pounced at me without any warning, luckily I managed to react and throw it back with the Spear.

Without a moment to lose, I summoned two Deku Shrubs and took aim at the beast.

"Hands where I can see them! Or claws or...whatever!" I fried deku seeds rapidly, peppering the beast, as did the Deku Shrubs.

The monster dissolved quickly in a flash of dark diamonds. I didn't pay any attention to that, I turned to the little girl right away.

"Are you okay?"

She grinned, "I am thanks to you! Thank you for helping me you were so cool! What's your name?"

"My name is Lana." I smiled back.

"Lana... That's a pretty name."

I giggled.

"I better get back home before my mommy gets worried. Thank you Lana!"

She ran off, I waved as she left, "Be careful!"

Once she was out of sight, I thought about that monster.

"What was that thing? I had never seen anything like that before..."

I felt a feeling of dread creep over me, I placed my free hand over my heart.

"Why do I feel so anxious all of a sudden?" I whispered, "I think I better go back and rest."

As I started to go back, I heard clapping from... Somewhere.

"Bravo, bravo!"

I did NOT like how familiar that voice sounded. I hastily looked all around.

"Over here sunshine!"

I turned around and saw no one, okay now he's just messing with me.

Out of nowhere I felt hands on my shoulder, and a tongue lightly gracing my ear.

"Where are you looking?" Came a soft voice.

I swung my Kokiri Spear, but he disappeared again. This time he appeared in front of me. Of all of the people it had to be him...

Ghiriham stood, he smiled that pompous smile and licked his lips.

"It's you! What are you doing!?"

He chuckled, "Temper, temper. You know I'M the one who should be angry after you defeated my monster like that, but I will not fuss. That was only the weaker stage."

"What are you talking about? What are you up to now?" I demanded.

He merly flipped his hair, "Do you always ask so many questions? You really are Cia's other half are you?"

I said nothing and shot him an angry look.

"Oh, but she's gone... taken down from her broken heart... Isn't that pathetic?"

I snapped, "Don't talk about her that way!"

"Oh hoho! I'm so sorry I forgot that's a touchy subject for you!" He started for me slowly, "Considering he didn't want you either." He smirked.

My face darkened and I felt tears coming, but I was not about to cry here.

"It must be depressing. To be so in love with someone, and for him to chose her. I can't say I blame him. Zelda is pretty, kind, strong, a lovely person isn't she?"

"Stop..." I muttered inaudibly.

"You may be all of those, but he chose her. Now why is that?" He leaned close to my face.

"Destiny." I shakily replied, "Those two are tied together by destiny, it doesn't matter."

"Ah, your voice betrays you." He vanished and reappeared behind me, hands on my curves, "Destiny sure is cruel isn't it?"

I took a swing at him, "Hands off!"

He appeared in front again, he had a more serious look, "I have exciting plans to attend to, I'll let you run for now. But if you dare interfere, you will be joining Cia."

With a snap of his fingers, he disappeared. The scenery returned to normal.

I stood there breathing slowly and heavily, trying to absorb all what happened. Without thinking, I took off running as fast as I could run.

Today didn't seem so pretty anymore... Now that I see darkness in the future.
