Chapter 2

Link lay in her bed, half awake. She curled into a ball her knees close to her chest. She grasped her pillow in her arms, tears tinkling down her face. It was about five in the morning. She had been up for thirty minutes already, not moving. Link didn't want to move, she didn't want to get up and leave. She just wanted to freeze time, so nothing had to change. She curled up closer, closing her eyes.

Why do I have to go..?

Because you need to save the world Link… said a soft female voice in her head.

Who… Who are you?

That I can not say, not now. Link, you have to leave here, and become a knight. The fate of Hyrule as we know depends on it.

Links eyes drew open in shock. She quickly let go of her pillow, she turned around and sat on the corner of her bed. What she saw was amazing. A tall woman stood before her, she was glowing like a star. The woman had long brownish- blond hair, the end of her hair was put in a braid. One lock of hair on each side of her face were out of the braid and rested by her face, they ends of them were covered with ribbon. She had a pale peach skin with shimmer like thousands of crushed diamond, and her eyes were an aqua color. On her forehead rested a gold crown, with a large sapphire in the middle. She wore a snow white dress and a light purple shirt. On her dress was a gold jewel incrusted belt witch was attached to a piece of beige cloth with a unique pattern of the triforce and hyrulian crest. She had a Gold necklace and wore long white cloves and gold shoulder pieces.

Link sat there in aw.

"Th-The fate of Hyrule depends on me…?!" Link asked confused

"Yes. You have been chosen by fate; chosen to save every one." The woman said.

"But!" Link stood up "Why me!? Why do I have to save Hyrule? Can't some one else do it?!" Link yelled angrily. She gazed the woman with her blue eyes, waiting for an answer. The woman was about to speak as the floor rumbled. The Woman started to fade away.

"Wait! Tell me! Why do I have to save the world?!" link cried as she tried to reach the fading woman. The surrounding changed around her. The house had despaired as well and the woman. She was standing in a dried up field; fire sprouting every where. Monster covered the land where dead bodies did not. Dark clouds covered the blood red sky.

You have to save the world Link. If you do not evil shall consume it, destroying every thing you know. It is up to you Link… said the voice of the woman.

"Wait! Who did this? Where am I?!" Link screamed. A monster had spotted her. It charged toward Link, as did more and more monsters. Link reached to get her sword. It wasn't there. Monsters piled onto her stabbing here. She screamed as she was killed.

Link quickly opened her eyes to find her self in her bed. The sun was just about to rise. She got out of under the covers and sat at the edge of her bed. Sitting there for probably five minutes, before her got up. "It was just a dream…" She said to her self. Just a really bad dream. That's all it was right? That… couldn't really have been the fate of the world, could it? Well only if she didn't save it that is.

"How the hell am I going to save the world?" link sighed, as se went through her drawer. She was about to put on her farm close when she saw the green tunic sitting on her desk, as well as the ocarina. Link quickly got undressed and put on the chain nail, tunic, belt, boots, gloves and hat. She went to her mirror and put her one blue hoop earring on her left ear. She grabbed the ocarina off the desk and put it in her belt pouch. Link stretched a bit, getting comfortable to the new cloths.

"They fit perfectly… maybe… maybe I really am a hero." She said to her self as she rolled her shoulders.

Link went down stairs, were Toshi and Maiya and Cora, plus a huge aromatic breakfast on the table.

"Good morning, Link. We've been waiting for you." Toshi said with a proud voice, his ember eyes soft.

"Oh Honey, those clothes suite you perfectly!" Maiya said as she went up to link and gave her a gigantic hug, almost lifting link off the ground. "I can't believe your going link; it feels like yesterday when Toshi brought you home." Maiya brushed link's head, holding her tight. Small tears formed in Maiya's eyes and fell down her check. Link pushed away from Maiya to get out of her hug.

"Maiya don't cry, please. We don't want to start the water works going." Toshi laughed as he walked up to his wife and foster child. Link blushed at her master's comment.

"Hey!" Link spat. Toshi walked up to link and ruffled her hair a bit.

"Well sorry, but when to start to cry you can't stop!" he laughed

"So true!" Cora laughed as she spun around links head.

"Come on let's eat, you need to get going soon." Toshi said with a hint of sadness in his voice as he pulled up a chair to the table.

******

Link Sat upon her horse Epon, Looking down at Toshi and Maiya at the doorway.

"Link, it's time to go." Cora said simply "do you have every thing?" she asked

"Yep." Link replied. She looked at Toshi and Maiya at the doorway.

"I guess… this is good bye." Link said sadly. Maiya handed a bag to Link with out a word. She looked into the bag. It had some empty bottles, apples, and some bread.

"Thank you Maiya… I'll miss you." Link murmured. She Looked at Toshi Who all so had some thing in his hands. He walked over to Link and gave it to her. Link took of the Cloth that covered it. It was a sword!

"Master this it your sword!" Link exclaimed. Toshi smiled and pushed his glasses up his nose "Correction link, it WAS my sword. This belongs to you now." He said happily.

"I don't want to leave you Master. I'll miss you too much." Link Said sadly her pointed ears dropped.

Toshi took links hands and gazed into her blue eyes "I promise you link, we WILL see each other again. No matter what." He reassured her. He let go of her hands "Take that sword, and pass the exam. You'll do fine." He smiled. Link nodded with determination

"Yes Master!" she said with confidence as she took the sword.

(You got TOSHI'S SWORD! DA DA DA DAAAAAAH)

Toshi stepped back to his wife. Maiya buried her face in Toshi to fide her crying face.

"Good bye guys. I love you both! I'll see you again! I Promise!" Link said as she whipped her horse's rains to make him go. "I'll be a knight! Just you wait!" she said to her self and she waved good bye while Epon rode off into the horizon.

A dark man Laughed as he watched link through a mirror.

"You'll see them again alright… in Hell!" He laughed as a shadowy figure appeared behind the Man. "Dark, Kill those two. And make sure that she finds out one way, or an other!" he ordered the shadow.

"Yes master." It said as the shadow vanished into thin air.

"Looks like this is going to get interesting." He laughed
