A/N just so you understand what I said on the summary of this story this story is going to be a bit of a mix. One part will be a story about link and the other will be the story of his parents (mostly in the form of flashbacks)

Disclaimer: I do not own the legend of Zelda (much as I would like to)

Hey anyway, just as a favour, could any one who reviews please tell me what they think of the names? I need to know if they are good so I can decide on how to make up the next lot. Please it would really help me with this story.

And if any of you are wondering what reference the mountain in the prologue has to the story, I'm not quite sure what it's doing there myself. If you have any suggestions please review and tell me.

Here you go

Herustes and Esin were walking towards the back of the long column of slaves. There were a few other children there who had once been noble. These were the golden haired Flena; a maiden of 15; the red haired Venio; a boy of 14 and Lera a brunette, blue eyed girl of twelve. All knew each other and enjoyed each others company.

"I hate having to go home to Ularia." Venio muttered.

"Yeah, me too," replied Herustes.

"I don't see why you're complaining," said Lera. "The people there are always very nice to us and we have so much free time that we can do whatever we want."

"Which, might I remind you, does not happen very often back in Mithralo," continued Flena, crossing her arms and glaring at Venio.

"You do realize that the only reason that we get treated so well is because the Uralians respected our parents." Herustes snapped, kicking a stone. "I suppose that you lot, being a whole lot younger, don't remember those days but to me it is deeply humiliating."

"Better to be humiliated then dead." Venio pointed out glumly.

"True, but I suppose it depends on the circumstances," said Esin sadly as he remembered how his once proud mother had committed suicide to escape the humiliation and torment of slavery.

Just then the old secretary, Zion, came up to them. He was smiling at them broadly.

"I'm glad that the master brought some young people with us this time," he said.

"Why Zion?" asked Lera sweetly.

"Well you see there's a delegation from Hyrule waiting for us in Ularia.

"Hyrule? As in the centre holy land?" Flena asked wide eyed.

"Is there any other?" Zion laughed. "Anyway the leader of the delegation is the young princess Zelda."

"Just a sec, isn't she ten years old or something" Herustes asked puzzled.

"Her father feels that it is never to soon to learn ones chosen craft. In her case this is politics. Besides she is chiefly there to observe, the young princess will have plenty of free time. I thought that perhaps you young ones might like to keep her company, as I'm sure she would find the company of the ministers frightfully boring"

"Spend time with a princess" gasped Lera with shining eyes "oh we'd love to"

"It would be a pleasure as well as a great honor to keep the princess company" said Flena "wouldn't it boys"

"Of course" said Venio happily.

"Oh excellent, excellent." Zion smiled "you never know. You might actually grow to become the best of friends with her."

There you are. After this we'll go over to Link and Zelda's side of the story I promise.

By the way

Terachi Kaishaku: thank you very much for reviewing. Yes I do know the original story of what happened but I'm just making it seem like there was more to the deku sprout's story then what was actually said.

By the way. Don't expect another update for a little while. I already had these chapters written up.
