CASTLE STORIES AND MICROSOFT PRESENTS

A CASTLE FAR AWAY

Disclaimer: yo! Okay let me lay it down. The writer of this story thought long and hard to make a good action story that the kids could read but the older people would like to. It may be long but let me tell ya it's one hell of a story. The writer don't own Zelda but she dose own: R.S., K.S., Leah, Oscer, Eli, Danielle, Latrice, Princess, Katie, and the whole castle crew (she published a friggin book!). Also there is one more person she don't own but I can't tell you who it is because it's a secret! Well I hope you like it! (this is the kind of story you should read if you have a lot of free time on your hands). Trust me its really good! Well enjoy!.

WRITER: Hello! and welcome to A CASTLE FAR AWAY , but before I get to the story you have to know about the castle. Inside this castle are many different charters from games and anime shows. And only a select few from those shows or games are worthy enough to be in this magnificent castle. There are two main keepers of the castle which I like to call sprits. One of them is Rachela (hey it's my story!). She is nice, sweet, gentle, good natured, very considerate of others, and adventurous. Kela is nothing like her alter ego Rachela (or R.S.), Kela (or K.S.) is much more childish, and a little self centered, she is very sarcastic and is very rude at some times. She can also be a little annoying and dose all she can to get what she wants, and (sorry to all you gundam wing fans) she is in love with Duo who is also in love with her. (I will explain why Duo is with K.S. in an other story). But there is much more then the beauty of this castle because beyond the wonders of the light castle, lies a dark a gloomy castle, that's more of a dungeon. All of the villains of the people that live in the light castle are in the dark. There is one keeper of this horrible dungeon and her name is Rachel, she is a young girl, about eight, and she looks innocent and kind, but she is far from any form of kindness. She is a horrible child who likes to destroy that of which she creates, and cares and loves no one but her self. Rachel never liked R.S. she despised her so much, she wanted her dead or captured and locked away some how so she can take over the light castle and gain power over K.S. who is not only R.S.'s alter ego but is Rachel's sister. She needed to get rid of R.S. and fuse with her sister to totally take over the castle but she waited for the right moment. Finally after three years of waiting it happened one cold and dark night she came to the castle unsuspected and broke the barrier between both castles, between both worlds. She came and took R.S. leaving K.S. all alone to finish her later, But fortunately she could not fuse with K.S. because of her loss of power in her capture. Also Rachel could not kill R.S. because she was still very weak, so she did the next best thing.cased her in salion crystal which is a magically created rock that can only be broken by a new magic (or some one new to the castle). It works best as a group and the person must hold the erondian crest (some thing I made up for charters I have created) to break it. Any way this is the story of the new people that have come to the castle and how they risked their lives for the sake of freedom in the light kingdom. This is a story about a Castle Far Away.

Chap. 1 a choice

"I know this is like, really short notice but listen you can't come in the castle yet," said K.S. sounding very depressed.

"what!!!! Why? I travel all the way from a different word and you tell me I can't even go inside!" screamed Danielle furiously while Leah tried holding her from ripping K.S.'s throat out

"sorry about her rudeness my lady" Leah said as she shot Danielle a look, "she is a leeoness, you know cat person she doesn't know any better." Danielle huffed at Leah's comment then walked out of the room. Oscer walked in the room about three seconds after Danielle left. Oscer was a young man about 15, his hair looked like a cross between Roy's locks (fire emblem) and Goku's tuffs (dragon ball z), he was quite muscular but hid it under a couple layers of armor, and his face was very handsome but a little boyish.

"hey why have we been waiting? I am getting an ass cramp from sitting so long."

"Oscer!!!!! Mind your manners!" shouted Leah

"sooooory," said Oscer as he made a face at her, then looked back over at K.S., "I'm sorry, I meant no disrespect it's just well that I'm, well you know, not used to the whole sprit thing and such"

"he, he, its ok listen I'm not like R.S. I." K.S. trailed off.

"my lady?" said Leah confused.

"no.it's.nothing.it's...wait," K.S. glanced from Leah to Oscer with an evil look, "you! And you! And.and them! Oh this is perfect! R.S. will be saved!" Leah and Oscer looked at each other with their eye brows raised.

"ok.um. you lost me, what!!!" said Oscer

"um my lady what are you talking about? What do you mean by save?" said Leah concerned.

"well you see she got taken by Rachel who is the kingdom keeper of the dark castle and I need you to save her." said K.S. quite seriously.

"oh...OH!! well that's no good, I guess she needs to be saved, right?" said Oscer

"well duh! You just figured that out?!?" said K.S. as she almost fell over.

"ok, but why us?" said Oscer finally understanding

"well I need you and the other five (Danielle, Katie, Eli, Latrice, and princess) to get her."

"ok that still tells me nothing!" said Oscer with his arms folded in frustration. K.S. slapped her forehead with the palm of her hand,

"oh-k-then listen look at your right wrist, and tell me what you see." Oscer looked down at his wrist and saw a gray star like scare on it.

"what is that?" he said while staring at as if in a trance.

"it's a life crest, it will gain its color when you earn your place." Said K.S.

"oh...wait, what?" said Oscer as he raised his eye brow

"oooo-k when you are recognized for some thing you did, you know saved a town blah, blah, blah, any ways when we notice you did that thing, what ever it was, we give you a color that represents what you are like green is courage but that's not the point. You see that scar means you can venture out side the kingdom without getting hurt."

"but my lady, why can only those with crests do such things? Can't the others do it as well?" said Leah.

"well no you see, the air out side the kingdom is like very harm full, it makes it so like that if you were to get an injury it would be like ten times worse then it really should be. So say if you tripped and scraped your knee, with out the crest, your leg might break." Said K.S., Oscer and Leah raised both their eye brows and looked at each other in amazement. "listen I'll talk to you later about it ok, meet me here in 30 minuets and I will discuss to you and the rest of them what I need you to do. So go tell them about it and make a plan to come here." Leah and Oscer nodded their heads and walked out the door.

About 10 minuets Later K.S. discussed the plan on what they must do to save R.S., unfortunately Link was listening from behind the door, "oh my god! R.S. no not her! I.I have to go but what about.that thing.uh! screw it, I don't care about what happens to me. I cant.I wont let her get hurt by that..monster!" Link thought to him self, he turned and was about to go upstairs to his room to pack but ran smack into his younger self.

"hey! Stupid! Ow! Geez look were your going ya space case!" said Young Link rubbing his fore head while still knocked on the floor.

"oh he, he sorry um what are you doing down here any ways?"

"nothing, I wanted to see the new people that are coming into the castle," y-Link cocked his head to the side and raised his eye brow, "what are you doing here?" Link got nervous-he knew he couldn't lie (not that the fact that he was talking to him self-and who knows him better then him self. But that the fact that he just was really bad at it)

"um.I.was.looking at the pictures." said Link half heatedly. Link gave a week smile but knew that y-Link didn't by it.

"ya right ok, what were you really doing down here?" y-Link folded his arms and stared at him with a menacing smirk. Link knew he couldn't lie so he told him about the whole R.S. thing and why they cant save her. "what!!!! Link are you kidding around, because if you are that's so not funny!"

"no, I swear I am not lying, and I plan on saving her because I." he broke off, "never mind I just cant let her get hurt, she let me stay in this awesome castle and I cant just let her die! So I am going to save her."

"Then I am coming with you!" said y-Link

"no! young, I am not letting you go, for one thing you're smaller and weaker then me you can get hurt easily, and a lot faster then I can."

"so! I can still be a big help! I am a lot faster then you and I am a hard target to hit because I am short! And don't forget she took me in too so I have a debt to pay as well" said y-Link stomping his foot, they sneered at each other (imagine little lighting bolts shooting from their eyes into each others). They finally decided (after three hours of arguing) that both of them would go. They would sneak out and travel in silence till they crossed the barrier into the dark kingdom because after that there was no turning back.

Chap. 2 the journey

They followed the group in complete silence but Danielle was the only one who sort-of knew they were there. As they were walking y-Link examined the group to get to know them better by outer appearance because he had already learned their names from K.S. when he asked her before he got ready to leave. He saw that each one had a some thing different about them like Leah had the longest hair, it was jet black, beautiful, and shiny. She wore a long skirt, one that went down to her ankles, with an armor like shirt that had shoulder guards and a heart shaped crest and the stomach. Danielle had the darkest skin color out of all of them. She was the second tallest, she had two cat like ears on the top of her head, claw like hands, and a long tiger like tail. Her hair was a mated black, and she wore a leotard like thing that matched the color of her tail and hands which had the pattern of a tiger, and she also wore the strangest boots which were a weird kind of white. He also saw Eli who walked next to Danielle, he was very tall and very proud looking. He looked like the hero's hero. He had a huge sword, and wore a long red cape. His hair was a brownish blond and he wore a long cover looking thing that went over his pants which were a light blue, and his armor was a dark brick red. Y-Link noticed Latrice and princess, but switched his attention to Katie. Katie was a fairy that, if she had no wings, would look like an elf because her ears were about the same size as his. She had hot pink hair that was put into two separate buns with a little-bit-of hair coming out, and hot pink eyes that matched her hair. She also looked about y-Links age so that put a willing and adventurous sparkle in her already bright and loving eyes. She wore a short skirt that went over a white leotard, and at the middle of the collar was a pendent with a huge blue crystal on it surrounded by wing looking things. Her wings looked like that of a dragonfly's that had been cut at an upward slant and they were a light aqua blue. Y-link smiled, "*she reminds me of home...she reminds me of...a Saria/Malon. I really hope I can talk to her soon!*" he thought to him self while still smiling a closed mouth smile.

Finally after three hours of walking, they reached the gate that connected the two kingdoms.

"great, yes! We are here!" said Oscer and he ran toward the gate, "hey guys check this out, I am in the light world (he jumped in the gate) and now I am in the dark." Every one sighed as he continued, "dark, light, dark, light, dark-dark, light, light-light, dark, dark-dar..."

"knock it off!" said Danielle as she pushed him over in to the black sands of the dark world.

"I guess you stay with dark," said Latrice laughing.

"ok guys, we are about 10 minuets away from the sand dunes," said Eli checking the map he got from K.S.

"I can't wait to get to the dums!" said Katie giggling.

"it's not 'dums' its dunes say it right." Said Danielle harshly.

"I was just playing around," said Katie sadly. Danielle huffed as she walked in front of Katie,

"(huff) fairy sprites, they're worse then children." She said under her breath.

Link and y-Link walked a distance from them but kept on track, the bad part was the trees go shorter and fewer as they were walking. Soon they were at the dunes and almost out of trees, "ok young, listen we'll wait until they are just about 20 feet in front of us and they wont be able to." just then Link felt a slimy, scaly thing rub against his right cheek.

"Um old," said y-Link with his eyes wide open, "don't move, there is a huge snake like thing by your head, and it doesn't look very nice."he said as he stepped back. Link slowly turned his head to stare in the eyes of 78 foot long creature (that looked like a snake) staring straight back at him. At first he did not move but when the huge creature hissed and was about to bite his head off Link ran from their hiding place in the safety of the trees and stopped right in front of the whole group. No one moved for about five seconds, until y-Link walked from out of the trees.

"What are you doing here!!!" screamed Oscer. Link tried to think of an excuse but he was even worse at that then lying.

"(sigh) ok Oscer, and the rest of you I came because I wanted to help. I over heard your conversation and well.I.we had to come." All seven of them looked at each other and thought about it,

"well" said Leah under her breath so Link and y-Link couldn't hear her, "we are past the gate, I don't think we will be able to take them back." The group nodded.

"but still they are in great danger in this world. They can get hurt very easily," whispered Eli rubbing his chin in deep thought.

"listen they came on their own if they get hurt it's none of our busyness!" said Danielle strongly. The group gave her an almost disgusted look. The group came to an agreement, they decided that Link and his younger self can journey with them but if they were to get hurt one person from the group would take them back to the light world.

The group now consisted of nine people: Leah and Oscer who were leading the group followed by Danielle, Eli, Link, Latrice, and her pet princess. Last of the group was y-Link and Katie, "so y-Link is it? Huh? Link? That's a different name." Said Katie as she gave him a smile.

"hey my name is not weird!" complained y-Link

"oh! No! I never said it was weird, I said it was different. And what a fairy says a fairy means!" she gave a slight giggle.

"oh sorry, so you like my name?"

"yes I do! Yours is unique, mine is to it's just that well Katie is my nick- name."

"oh so what is your real name?" said y-Link getting excited

"Um my real name is, Katealleana, but every one calls me Katie."

"Katealleana.hum, that's a cool name, but I like Katie better." He gave her a sweet smile and she did the same,

"thank you, y-Link." She giggled then flew up in the air toward the front, just before y-Link started to blush.
