"And that's what will happen to make Hyrule a better place not only
for the people for this market, but for the people all over this great
land. Thank You." The King of Hyrule stepped down off of the small stage
that was set up for him to speak. He was a big man, clearly overweight. He
wore a large red robe, the button outline was bright white fur with black
dots. His whole robe was dark red, and the neck was colored gold. He wore a
gold crown and carried a small black cane. "This gets harder and harder every
day." he said to one of the guards as he stepped up into his cart. He took
his seat on a soft, red, feather filled seat. It was very soft and the mans
weight made it sink in far. He looked out a window and up at the sky. "Looks
like some sort of storm is coming." The King of Hyrule then leaned back and
closed his eyes. The ride was rough, as it was going down the dirt path to
Hyrule Castle. They soon arrived there after about an hour, the King in the
very front.

The King stepped out of the carriage. He walked to the front doors of
the castle. The left door was a bit open. The King looked and quickly called
over a guard. The guard bent his knees and positioned his back against the
door. He extended his arm out onto the door and slowly pushed it open. It
gave a small creak and he peered in. He didn't see anything except the usual
marble floor and stained glass windows and the vase's and decorations. The
guard, who was special corps for the King, walked in slowly with his spear
ready. He creeped slowly towards the stairs. "ZELDA!" The King yelled out
from behind him. No answer. The guard suddenly took off up the stairs quick
and towards Zelda's room. About eight feet before Zelda door, the guard
stopped short and put his hand over his mouth. The guard that was to guard
Zelda's room was dead, impaled by a pole, a pool of blood was underneath
and around him. The King caught up and gasped. Ganondorf suddenly came
walking through the door. He realized they were back, and knew they would
suspect him if he didn't say something quick. He started huffing and puffing
as if he has been running and was out of breath. He started to talk to them.

"I tried to stop him, but I couldn't. I seen he killed the guard and
ran into her room to stop him, but I had to break through the door and by
that time they were gone. I'm sorry, but Zelda has been kidnapped. The guy
was small, one of those Kokiri's. He was powerful though. We need to get him
before he hurts her!" Ganondorf stopped, and looked at the King. He seemed to
believe him. Excellent, Ganondorf thought. The King told the guard to put out
a search for Zelda, as she had been kidnapped. He then thanked Ganondorf for
trying to help, and went straight to work on the search. He did have his
suspicions though, but he hadn't the courage to approach Ganondorf. He was to
big, and scary looking too. He had a bad vibe to him. "I want a 10,000 Rupee
reward put out for her! As quick as possible! C'mon! Don't waste time!" the
King said quickly. His press was getting the papers ready. It was still only
about 2:00 P.M. He could probably have the word out by nine o'clock tonight.

Link and Zelda swam slowly down the river, scaling along the side trying
desperately not to be noticed. At the end of the river, which was near the
entrance to Lake Hylia, Link slowly peeked his head up and looked around. It
all seemed clear and he pulled himself out of the river, and helped Zelda out
too. He told her that they should get to Kokiri Forest, where they could
think things out. Link and Zelda made their way casually across Hyrule Field
and soon slipped into Kokirir Forest. All the Kokiri children crowded around
as they had never seen Princess Zelda before. Mido bitched and complained
about how much of a wimp Link still was. This angered Link, but he kept his
cool. When the excitement died down, they went to the Deku Tree. The sprout
was much taller now, about the half the size of the Deku Tree. "Hello Link!
Hello Zelda! I sensed your coming, and soon an unknowable evil will soon
fall upon Hyrule. A manipulative force that will turn everything against
each other, even us Kokiri's. You and Zelda are our only hope. Let me tell
you the tale of Dyrus." Link and Zelda sat down upon the hill, and looked
up at the Deku Sprout, as it began to talk.

"Tales of Hyrule stretch back to the three goddess', Dyn, Nayru, and
Farore. But there was also a god scratched from all records, and he went by
the name of Dyrus. Dyrus went along with the three others, but he had an evil
vibe to him, and that evil came out when the goddess' created Hyrule. When
civilization was to be put on Hyrule, Dyrus put chaos onto the land in which
the other two goddess' worked so hard to make. It took a while, but Din,
Farore, and Nayru undid this and banished Dyrus into a small crystal. Dyrus
has resided there up until now, but the crystal is growing weak, and the Din,
Nayru, and Farore are nowhere to be found. So when Dyrus gets out, chaos will
fall upon Hyrule. Link, Zelda, you are the only two who will have any hope of
getting Hyrule back to normal when this happens. Do not bother with Ganondorf,
as he is nothing without the Triforce, although he does still hold a piece.
Although there is a fourth god, the Triforce is only three pieces. The fourth
piece is hidden away somewhere no one knows, and if anyone ever got ahold of
it, Hyrule will truly be doomed unless you Link, can get your hands on all
three pieces of the original Triforce. Do you understand all that I tell you?"

Link and Zelda nodded, and got up. They thanked the Deku Tree Sprout and
walked through the path. Before they reached the end of the path, they seen
the village was being torn apart and searched by Hylian Guards. "They're
looking for me" Zelda said lowly. They both ran back to the sprout. "There is
a passage behind me that will lead you to where you need to go. Follow it."
Link and Zelda ran behind the the dead Deku Tree, which was now shrinking at
an incredible rate, and a small hole in the ground opened up. Link and Zelda
jumped in it and it closed. About thirty seconds after jumping in, they heard
footsteps above them and the Deku Sprout telling the Hylian Guards Zelda
wasn't here. Zelda lit up the passage with the little magic power she had,
torches lit the whole passage. They began to walk, it was a passage that had
a few curves but was mainly one direction. The ground was red, dust and rocks
all covered in rust, it's what happens when nothing has been touched for awhile.
About the middle of the tunnel, there was a dark little cove on the side, as
they passed, a little green gremlin popped out of it and made a snarl noise.
Link and Zelda both jumped back, then it began to speak. "Would you like to buy
something?" The gremlin asked in a vicious voice. Link and Zelda shook their
heads and backed away until it was out of site.

Near the end of the tunnel, it started to blacken again. It gradually got
darker and darker until they couldn't see. Link tripped over a pile of human
bones and quickly jumped back to his feet. The bones were that of a person, a
weak person, who couldn't make it through. But Link and Zelda were doing fine,
and soon emerged out of the tunnel into a big shrine, it usually took people
days to go through that tunnel, but Link and Zelda had crossed it in an amazing
six hours! Link and Zelda looked around and they both knealed down and drank
from the small stream. This was amazing, lily pads were everywhere, frogs, a
big stone statue in the middle that poured water. Link and Zelda walked forward
and looked around, a sudden small buzzing started. It gradually got louder, and
louder, and out emerged a HUGE dragon fly about 25 feet long. It's huge wings
made screaming buzzing sounds as it flew by and Link and Zelda ran and rolled
into a small cave. Link looked at Zelda, and drew his Kokiri Sword.
