ME: This chapter is shorter than the others. That's because it doesn't fit with the others. This takes place the morning after where Déjà Vu

Link: Anything else?

ME: Yeah. A lot of this chapter is from my other story. I decided to bring it back for fun.

Link: The story that failed?

ME: (groans) Yes. But that was then, this is now. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own the Legend of Zelda or their characters. If I did, then chaos would erupt. It would be a catastrophe!!! So thank Shigeru Miyamoto for creating them and many other Nintendo favorites.

The Legend of Zelda: Save the Past

Chapter 2: It Begins

The two large doors to the throne room opened. Through them a dark male walked towards the two royal figures in the thrones in front of him. He was wearing black armor and a red cape. As he finally stopped a few feet away, he kneeled down before the two figures. Finally, the king spoke.

"You must be the ambassador from the Gerudo Fortress that I've time heard about," he said. King Azankto (A.N.: I know, I suck at names.) was an average sized man. He was 6'2 and was an average weight.

Next to him sat Zelda. She eyed the strange man suspiciously. There was something about him she didn't trust. The other day they got word the king of the Gerudos was interested about making a treaty between the Hylians and Gerudos. But they didn't know much else, not even his name.

"Yes, your highness. I hope you see no problem with that," the man responded.

King Azankto shook his head. "Actually, I'm more than exited to conduct peace between the two races, Mr…"

"Ganondorf, your highness. Call me Ganondorf."

Zelda winced a little at the name. 'Ganondorf? That's who that one kid was talking about. How did he know about the king of the Gerudos?'

"Ah, Ganondorf. If you want, you can stay here. The negotiation can start in a couple of days," said the King.

"Thank you, your highness. If you don't mind, I'd like to get some stuff to bring here."

"It'll be no problem," he said. "Oh, one more thing."

"Yes, your highness?"

"You may call me Azankto."

"As you wish." With that, Ganondorf stood up, gave one final bow, and left. Once he was gone, Zelda turned towards her father.

"Dad, there's something about that man I don't trust."

"Oh, hush Zelda. Lord Ganondorf is going to help make peace between the Gerudos and Hylians."

"How are you so sure?" Zelda was surprised to be saying this. Did she actually believe that boy?

"Enough, Zelda. I don't want you talking about Ganondorf that way any more," demanded the King.

Zelda sighed in defeat. "I'll be in the garden if you need me," she informed him before leaving.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ganondorf walked through his castle in the desert. He really had nothing to bring except a scroll. On it the legend of the Triforce was written. He then sat on his throne and thought about his progress. So far he had the locations of the Spiritual Stones and it was only a matter of time before they were in his procession. It was no secret that the Ocarina of Time was with the royal family. But he didn't know exactly where it was.

'That king is such an idiot. All it took was a little flattery and he practically gave me the Triforce. As soon as I find where the Ocarina of Time is, then the Triforce will be all mine; and my wish of world domination will come true!'

Ganondorf laughed wickedly. A laugh that filled the halls in the castle.

In the sacred realm, Rauru- the sage of light- watched the events of the world happening.

"It begins," was all he said.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

ME: Two chapters done in the same day. Man I'm getting good.

Link: Why wasn't I in this chapter?

ME: Because this chapter is essentially the prologue to my other Zelda story. You didn't appear until after that.

Link: Why did you stop 'Two Friends, One Hero' again?

ME: 3 reasons: 1) I got no reviews.

2) There were too many roadblocks and problems.

3) It was too complicated to continue.

Link: OOOOhhhhhhhh.

Me: Well, now that's out of the way, bye everyone. Until next time…

*Stay cool and see ya later*
