Legend of Zelda: Light of the Moon
Chapter Two: Legend
Disclaimer: I do not any of the Zelda games.
** A/N: Only one review. Sigh, how depressing. Well, whatever, I know this story will get better. Anyways, this is a really short chapter. That's what you get for not reviewing.**

Zelda's captivation gave her plenty if time to think, which may or may not have been a good thing. But as much as she tried to think of the mysterious boy from her dream, her mind kept drifting to her brother.
He had never shown any signs of disloyalty before. Sure, he argued with his father some, but only an amount that was normal for all families. Was this sudden change of heart really all for her? He had always been protective of her, and was her best friend, but how could he stand there and watch their parents die? He was almost like a completely different person. Could he have been brainwashed? Yes, of course. That was it. She knew her brother cared about Hyrule almost as much as she did. No way he could have possibly done something so malicious willingly.
"You look bored staring at the wall." Zelda jumped at the sudden intrusion into her thoughts. She turned her head and saw her brother's tall form kneeling down on the other side of the bars. "I brought you some food... and a book." He continued, not looking up. His blond bangs fell past his eyebrows and hid his eyes.
"You need a haircut." Zelda's response surprised her brother, and he looked up quickly before looking back down. "It's falling past your ears." Zelda kept the conversation light; she didn't want to lose hope by talking about Ganondorf.
"Yes." He agreed quietly, pushing the items he brought through a special made gap in the bars. He understood her choice in topic, and refused to bring up anything else as well.
"What book did you bring me?" Zelda knelt down on the thick comforter covering the floor and helped her brother fit the bundle through the opening. She was trying with all her heart to forgive him.
Zelda picked up the book and opened the thick front cover to read the title. " 'The Dragon and the Jewel.' Is it about how the hero saves the princess?"
Zelda said this before realizing and instantly bit her tongue. Her brother didn't pretend he didn't hear, and looked her straight in the eyes as he spoke.
"I'm sure he saves the princess AND the kingdom."
Saying that, her brother stood up and ascended the staircase, calling over his shoulder, "I'll bring you some more books tomorrow, if you like."
Zelda wondered at her brother's words as she flipped the page and started the book. What had he meant? Was he planning something?
Zelda decided to quit thinking and began to read. Time seemed to slow down when she was thinking, and the more time she spent in his dingy cell, the closer she was to insanity.
~~~~~~*~~~~~~
When the words began to blur and run together, Zelda finally closed the book and yawned. Her stomach growled slightly, and she remembered the food her brother brought her. Zelda lifted the cloth that lay over plate and saw an apple, a couple slices of chicken, and corn. Not exactly gourmet, but she supposed it really was compared to the bread and cheese she was expecting.
She took the apple and left the rest, most likely cold by now. Did her brother plan to only feed her once a day?
As she bit into her apple, she stood up and strolled over to a window she hadn't noticed before. Moonlight streamed in through the grating and fell in a puddle at her feet.
She had always loved staring at the moon, ever since she was a little girl. Legend had it that if a person of pure heart and mind shot a light arrow into the moon when it was full, the path to a golden power would be revealed. Zelda was sure that the golden power was the triforce, and she was certain that Ganondorf would never be able to get his hands on it, for he was neither pure of heart nor mind. She smiled in satisfaction as she thought of this. Hyrule had hope after all.
"Princess!" An urgent whisper sounded behind Zelda, and she turned, thinking it would be her brother. Instead, she faced a youth slightly taller than she wearing a green tunic with matching shorts. He wore stout brown leather boots and a dented shield on his back that hung over a sheathed sword. His face was the one from Zelda's dream.
Zelda ran up to the bars. "You! You're the one from my dream! How did you know to find me here?"
He smiled. "Because I dreamed of you too. My name is Link."
Link. Where had she heard that name?
"My name is Zelda."

Cliffhanger! Yay! Okay, not really.
Does anybody know what those bird-people and leaf-people are called in Wind Waker?
