The sun crept over the hills like a predator on the hunt; slowly extending it's fingertips to caress the landscape with its warmth. It nestled in between the mountains and the rivers and drew the ice from the night as new day began. Harmony awoke with a start and jumped out of her bed, which was currently a pile of leaves and dirt that she had scraped together the night before. Leisurely, she pulled her bag upon her back and strolled down the now sunlit path.

"We're almost there little buddy." She said to her pet lizard Alexander as they neared Kakariko village. The guard looked at them oddly as they passed through the gate. As if he'd never seen a tamed Dodongo before, sheesh. Or perhaps he was staring at Harmony's bright blue hair and eyes. The town was quaint, was her first revelation. Maybe a bit too quiet for her taste, but she didn't see any reason NOT to settle a new life here. Perhaps she could rile it up a bit, no?

Nevertheless, she exited the small town, wanting to see more of what this country had to offer. As she neared reached the bottom of the stairs, she noticed a drawbridge, just lowering with the morning light, and decided to check it out.

The town was bustling with activity. Merchants and traders from all about were hustling around with certain items and goods. People crowding over booths and yelling iridescent profanities to others who got in their way. Harmony was pushed aside rudely by many passer bys, and frowned with disgust.

*Hmph* She thought, *If they knew who I was they wouldn't push me about so carelessly.* Her words pierced her mind as she muttered, "Darn conscience." Starting a new life was exactly the reason she had left her old town... yes, her old town. So many memories...

*flash*

The thunder thrashed the skies with merciless intent and hail began to pour from the heavens like tiny gifts from Hell that pierce your skin. Harmony dashed through the night in a heavy cloak, harboring a shadow like object beneath her arm. Several angry villagers chased her with weapons that were surely meant for her flesh and her flesh alone as she ran desperately trying to escape. Her mind left her wondering if this was right. But she had to find out. If her dreams had been true and she wasn't just hallucinating, then she must obey and find her true father and free him. If her dreams were true, her whole life had been a lie. Her family wasn't really hers. A man had come to her in a dream, and told her that she must steal the village treasure, and go to a distant land and break the spell her true father was bound by.

Hyrule.

She'd never heard the name before that night. Yes that night, as she turned to look back at the only place and only people she'd ever known, she pulled out the treasure. An orb.

The lightening flashed and made an evil gleam reflect off the mirror of the jewel. This was no ordinary mishap. The light reflected off the ornament and went right through the hearts of the townspeople, rendering them unconscious, or dead. Harmony didn't stay around to find out. Apparently, her dreams had been true, and she was off to find this country of Hyrule, to free her father and find out who she really was.

*flash*

"Hey... Hey lady, you alright? Yo! HELLOOOO!!"

"AAAUUUGGHHH!!" Harmony wailed waving her arms about and hitting the poor guy in the forehead. She gasped. "I. I'm sorry!" She exclaimed, rushing to pick him up off the ground.

"Yeah yeah, no probs... you were just spacing out there, I thought you'd died or something."

"Standing up?"

"Well, you were spacing for 15 minutes, what else could've happened?" This guy was handsome, she noticed right off, with his nice green eyes and blonde hair that he brushed from his face like grass blowing softly in a light breeze.

"You had nothing to do but watch me for 15 minutes? You must be pretty bored." She remarked, laughing. He chortled a bit along with her and replied, "Yes well, with someone as pretty as you, I couldn't help but be captivated. In fact, it was a hard decision to wake you from your dream. I am Ryan, descendant of Link... hero of Hyrule."

*Ah, so this is Hyrule.*

"Hmm. The pleasure is mine Ryan, the name's Harmony and you need not know where I am from, it is to far away for your mind to handle. No offense."

"None taken."

*This is wrong* Thought Harmony

"I hate to space and run, but I have to go." She said averting her eyes so he couldn't mesmerize her anymore. Harmony turned away from the cute passerby and brushed him to the side. "Goodbye!" She said as cheerfully as possible.

"Wait!" He yelled after her, but she ignored him. "I was hoping we could get something to eat later?!"

She whirled around and snapped at him, "What are you thinking, pervert. We only just met. I'll see you around."

Ryan stood there, shocked, as if he'd just been cracked by a whip.

There was a faint smell of fresh flowers in the air, being prepared for the upcoming festival. The annual Hyrule Independence Day was coming up fast, and everyone was bustling about like mad, stepping on feet without one hint of an "I'm sorry," People these days are just becoming so rude.

Harmony rushed as fast as she could out of town, and back to the inn at Kakariko village.

"Oh dad. What have I gotten myself into?"
