The Beginning
"Link I have an important assignment for you." Zelda said to Link, who was sitting and eating an apple up in one of the courtyard trees. Link looked down. Zelda's warm eyes pierced right through him. "What?"
"As you know, the traitor was put to death the other day. There are three people left in Hyrule that could still be in the betrayal of Hylian forces. I want you to find them and arrest them in the name of the Castle."
Link took a bite of his apple. Zelda became a little angered by the fact that he didn't respond. "Hey! I'm talking to you!"
Link swallowed. "I know. But I'm not sure if I want to. You remember what happened the day before right?"
Zelda looked puzzled. "No what happened?"
"After they made the announcement that Tatus was to be put to death, someone came and killed the guards around his cell."
"All the more reason to find his family right?" Zelda smiled as though she thought she proved Link wrong. Link sighed. And looked off into the distance. "Zelda...."
"Yes Link?"
"There were over one hundred bodies."
Zelda went mute and put her hand to her mouth. "O-One...hundred...?"
Link jumped down from the tree. He walked over to her. "But out of them all, there was one survivor. It wasn't Ganon or one of his cronies that killed them. It was a woman. About 17 years he said. Like us."
Zelda was shocked. "No way.......a woman? Usually in Hyrule, swordswomen are very rare. Did he catch her name? Identification?"
"He was wounded very badly. He died this morning. He said that she might be from Somnium."
Zelda looked up. "The Village of Broken Dreams? I didn't know swordsmen/women lived there. I thought that was an orphan town. Isn't it?"
Link remembered being an orphan for a split second. "Yeah, it's all an orphan town. No adults live there. The adults there usually die from monsters. According to what I've heard, monsters live in the village, and when a child reaches a certain age, they run away. Nobody knows where they go, but they usually end up dead or in another village with no memory. It's truly strange."
Zelda didn't want to send Link anymore. But she had no choice. "Link, I'm afraid you must go."
"Don't worry about me Zelda, I can handle it myself. I'll watch out though." And Link pulled out his ocarina, played Epona's song, and rode off. Zelda felt a tear roll down her cheek. "Be careful Link."
