Link felt the wind rush through his hair as he rode his horse, Epona across the planes of Hyrule on a beautiful day. The Master Sword bounced a little with each stride Epona took in its sheath on Link's back. His bow rode in a sheath of its own on one side of the saddle, his arrows in another on the other side.

It had been six months since he had defeated Ganon and returned peace to the land of Hyrule. But it had cost him dearly. The woman he fell in love with, Midna, the Twili Princess, had gone back to the Twili realm and broke the mirror that he could have used to see her. Tears came to his eyes when he thought about it and the look that had been on her stunning face.

Link saw the castle in the distance, his destination for today's ride. He was going to meet up with his companions formerly of the resistance at Telma's bar like they did on a weekly basis. They would get together, drink, revel in the stories of the good old days.

But lately Link had other things on his mind. Something Mayor Bo had said recently alerted him to the possibility of Link having a living relative. An older brother with unmistakable silver hair. He had asked everyone he could think of. He didn't have much luck but did find some solid proof in Kakariko. The village shaman let him see the birth records for the time when he was born.

His name was Dimitri. He wanted above all else to find him and find out why they had been separated.

Link slowed down slightly when the triforce of courage began shining on the back of his left hand. He looked at it in confusion. It had been doing this more and more lately. He had no idea why but he would ask Zelda when he went and saw her later that day.

Epona's pace brought them to the gates of castle town. He was waved in by the guards who all knew him and what he did for the kingdom six months ago. Link was a national hero.

He coaxed his horse down a stone pathway that led to Telma's bar. He dismounted gently and tied her to a post outside the bar. He gave her some carrots before going inside.

"Link!" Telma called as she set some drinks down at the biggest table in the establishment. On these days Telma closed the bar to everyone except Royal knights and Link's entourage. Rusl, Auru, and Shad were already seated at the table while a few knights were seated at the bar. "I was wondering when you were going to get here. Though I am surprised Ashei isn't here yet."

"She'll be here soon enough." Rusl called and motioned for Link to sit next to him. They each grabbed a glass of beer and took a big draught. "So, how are you this week?"

"I'm alright. I'm just still looking for my brother…" Link set his glass back down.

"The elusive Dimitri huh?" Auru scratched his head. "I don't know what to tell you kid."

"Ha ha ha. You say Dimitri?" A knight spoke up from the bar and had already had a couple strong drinks.

"Yeah, he did. Do you know him?" Shad turned toward the inebriated knight.

"Sure as hell do. That man was a legend. How could you have never heard of him?" The knight tapped his drinking buddy on the shoulder. "These guys don't know who Dimitri is."

"Seriously?" He turned, not as intoxicated as his louder friend.

"Yeah." Link felt that he might learn something. "Who is he?"

"Who was he, you mean?" The louder knight took another drink. "He's dead kid. He died three years ago."

"Are you certain?" Link stood up, his lead slowly shriveling up.

"Oh yeah man. He fell over the falls down in Lake Hylia." The knight belched after speaking. "Dimitri was one hell of a man. A man I was proud to serve under… I still can't believe he's gone but it's been three years already."

"Served under?" Rusl spoke up. "You mean he was a knight?"

"Not just any knight." The quieter knight answered. "He was the knight. He was the first knight of Hyrule for years. He was the king and princesses personal advisor. Bodyguard to the princess. Baddest motherfucker alive when he was around."

"Wow…" Link sat down. He was happy to hear of how great his brother had been, but was pained to hear that he was dead.

"What are you drunks yammering about?" A feminine voice came from the doorway.

"Hey! It's that lovely lady Ashei!" The louder, drunker knight slurred a little. Ashei walked to and sat down at the table. She grabbed a glass for herself and took a drink. "I was wondering if you'd go out with me this time."

"You never learn do you? Keep drinking." She didn't look back at the knight. "What were they going on about?"

"They said that my brother Dimitri was the former first night of Hyrule but he died three years ago." Link took another drink, longer this time.

"Hey. No need to drown your sorrows. You didn't even know him anyway." Ashei pulled his glass away from him. "He was the one with the silver hair right?"

"Yeah. Why?" Shad nodded as Link tried to get his glass back.

"It's funny because I thought silver hair was rare." She shrugged and set her sword on the back of her chair.

"It is rare." Auru spoke from over 60 years of experience. "No one besides this Dimitri has been born with silver hair in the past several thousand years."

"Really? That's weird." Ashei remembered the man she bumped into on her way through Zora's Domain.

"Why is it weird?" Rusl sat up straighter.

"I ran into some guy in Zora's domain with natural silver hair. He was tall, muscular, covered in scars. Had two swords on his back." Ashei recounted what she saw. "He didn't seem too bright…"

"Huh?" The others around the table hung on her words.

"When I asked his name, he said Dimi…" Ashei put her hand to her chin.

"Dimi… Dimitri?" Link stood up, his eyes wide.

"Hey, this could all be coincidence Link." Ashei tried to calm him. She saw that his left hand was glowing. "Is the triforce supposed to be doing that?"

"I have no idea. It's been doing it for a while now, more and more." Link looked at his hand again. "I'm gonna ask Zelda about it but right now I want to go check this out in Zora's Domain."

"So you're not gonna come up with us to see the Princess?" Auru questioned.

"I'll be back in a few hours and I'll come see you guys and the princess then." Link stood and walked out the door.
