"What do you mean?" Sasha questioned.
"I heard Mother yelling for help. I believe she may have been kidnapped."
"KIDNAPPED!? You're kidding me. That's not possible, is it?"
"I didn't think so, but it appears that that's what happened. And whoever was after Mother may be after us too."
"Let's go find Father. He's experienced at saving Mother."
"I don't know. I have a feeling that if he'd been around, he would have come running to Mother's defense when she got captured. I could be wrong, of course, but I believe that we need to get out of here as soon as possible."
"Okay." All this time the siblings had been heading toward the storage room of the castle. They now arrived at their destination.
"Grab what you need," William told his sibling. "We may not be back." William and Sasha looked over the curious variety of items. Anticipating the worse, William got a sack of bombs, a lamp, 2 bottles, and a boomerang. Sasha, being female, and having never seen these items before, got a cape, a blue wand (to match her outfit), a mirror, her bow & arrows, and a pearl. [To all of you who remember the game well, all of these are items Link used. But the characters don't know what they do.]
"You got everything you need?" William questioned. "I'm ready to go," his sister replied. So off they went. They headed toward the back door to the castle. They had almost made it out when they saw a strange man.
The first thing that the kids noticed was his long green cape. Hardly anyone aside from their father wore green. Also, the man's green hair made him seem usual. But without a doubt, the most unusual feature of this man was the fact that he was transparent.
"What's wrong with him?" Sasha inquired.
"I'm not really sure, but I don't think he's really there. That's just a guess. Let's try to go by him."
"Are you crazy? If he's there, he'll kill us." Whether or not the kids would have tried to go past the see-through figure, we'll never know. The strange man turned toward them.
"Ah- ha!" he exclaimed excitedly. "Now I can rid myself of the last of the descendants of Link." He raised his hands as energy started to flow toward them.
Suddenly, the energy headed toward Sasha and William. "AHHHHHHHH!" Sasha screamed in agony, as the energy surrounded her. William watched in horror as she floated in the energy and then disappeared. Then it was his turn as another flow of energy surrounded him. The man watched in triumph as the final man of the royal bloodline disappeared, and laughed as the first stage of his master plan completed.

For those of you who recall Link to the Past well, you probably can tell me the significance of what items our two heroes got, as well as where they are and what's going to happen to them. Don't worry, I'll try to add at least one twist you don't expect next chapter.
BTW, Sasha and William are my own creations. I think. As is the layout of Hyrule Castle. Nothing else is though. I don't think.
If you want Sasha and William to make it to the end of the story, as opposed to getting a game over, then please R&R.
