A/N: These characters do not belong to me. Only the ones I have made up do.

Chapter 1

By the morning sky Link could tell that there would be bloodshed. For the sky was pink like fresh meat. He looked down at his right hand touching the Triforce imprinted on his hand. It has been a year since the Seven Year War. He still had vivid dreams of it all. The pain, anguish. He sighed and looked around at the trees that surrounded him. He looked back at the pink sky and darted off into the woods.

His pace quickened with every step. His heart raced. There was something wrong. He needed to hurry. There wasn't much time. The sky was grey now, trouble had reached it's destination. He knew that the kingdom was being attacked, but where? He whistled for Epona, but she didn't come like usual. He was scared, he was never scared. A hero shouldn't be scared.

"Stupid horse, come on." He panted to himself as he ran farther and farther. The trees grew thicker and thicker. Link didn't know where he was now, but he had to get through. he had to. It was his only hope, his destiny.

*I must keep going* He thought, * I must keep running* He stopped. There in front of him, was a man. Taller than any other. He was wearing shining armor, equipped with a sledge hammer. "Get away man!" Link screamed. The man did not move for him. " I said OUT OF THE WAY MAN!" He screamed. His face was getting hot with fury. The man bent down to him and opened his hand.

"Shut up dear boy. I'm not deaf you know." In his hand was a pendant. It was Zelda's Triforce necklace. " Take it boy, she needs your help." The man stood up again and disappeared. Link grasped the pendant hard in his palm. Blood seeped out of his hand. He opened it again. The pendant was inserted inside his palm. He winced at the pain, but he kept running. He ran faster and faster. The beat of the forest matched his pace.

"I'm coming Zelda, I'm coming." He panted. He jumped over logs and roots of large trees. He never tripped once. He whistled for Epona once again. She did not come to him. He looked down at the satchel connected to his belt. Inside it contained the Ocarina of Time. He fumbled for it. It was in his grasp. He took it out and played Epona's Song. He heard a slight neighing in the distance, but it stopped with a shrill shriek. Link stopped once more. He was in panic.

"What am I going to do? My steed is gone. I don't know where I am." He looked at the sky. Rain droplets were falling from the clouds above. A couple stung his eyes. He looked back down. His hand had healed already. The golden pendant of the Triforce was in the palm of his hand now. He looked around some more. The thicket was decreasing. He could see through a lot of the trees now.

"Link." Whispered a voice behind him. Link jumped and turned. Before him was a women dressed in all white. Her hair was black like ivory, her eyes as green as ivy.

"Who are you?" He whispered afraid for his life. Something wasn't right. This shouldn't be happening.

"Astroph of Cortencance. I bear a message from the King of Hyrule. Please listen. Link, the Kingdom is under your rule. You must save us. Zelda has left the castle pendant to you. Your mission is this. Find Forgaled Island, you shall meet Tala there. Tala will assist you on your mission. Then you must go to Kahara Desert. The Army of Torment will be there. You must defeat them from every evil. Tala will explain the rest. I cannot write much now. Good day Sir Link.

King Hysteron

Do you understand sir Knight?" She asked.

"Yes, where's Zelda?" He asked impatiently.

"She's with her father. They are not safe here anymore. Protect your King Link. Good bye." Before Link could say anymore she vanished. Link played Epona's song once more. She didn't come. He snarled and ran back from where he came.

"Epona, you stupid stubborn horse!" He said to himself. The trees were getting cluttered up again, but he knew if he kept running it would clear up. Finally he cam back to the spot where everything had started. He called for Epona once more. A slight Neighing was heard, then he could feel the ground shake.

"Epona, where the hell were you?!" He shouted as Epona nudged his shoulder. He sighed and jumped on her back.

Epona was going way slower than usual. Link jumped off her back and looked at her legs. One of them had a giant slash. It was bleeding rapidly. He dug around in the saddle bags and brought out a bandage and some red potion. After he mended Epona's wounds he mounted her again and they rushed to the oceans.
