Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Note: I have rewrote this on a whim..because of bordem and the desire to write again, plus my first one if anyone remembers it did not take off as I hoped. Enjoy this first chapter...another is to come shortly.
The world has changed but as they say the more things change the more they stay the same...how haunting the words are. One thousand years ago a desert wizard name Ganondorf Dragmire stole the Triforce of Power and dominated the land. Luckily there rose a young man named Link and took upon a heavy quest through time to defeat the wizard. Even though Ganon was beaten and his power sealed away, his threat loomed in the shadows and hearts of the people.
Years past and the story turned to legend and the legend became myth. Though seven men were chosen to be guardians of what is known as the Sacred Realm. The king of this era needing to unify the lands and keep the enemies from gaining the powers of the two remaining Triforce, placed them back in the Sacred Realm, for the shadow was no longer looming, or not to their knowledge. Peace rained for many years, until a severe famine struck the lands, on the verge of another war the king called out to anyone who could cure this. Unlucky for him that the answer was from the very shadow that the legends told of.
A wizard by the name Agahnim came and cured the famine with magic not seen in the realm, the Seven were skeptics but the King gave him position of chief adviser for keeping the lands from going to war. Rumors said Agahnim ruled the country side with his magic and the king as his puppet, how close to the truth those rumors were. Somehow under the watch of the Seven, Ganon took control of the Triforce, turning the Sacred Realm into a dark twisted version of itself. Having used Agahnim as his puppet, it is only a matter of time before both realms are connected and the flood of evil begins pouring into this land.
Princess Zelda aware of the situation has formed an underground army of Hylain Knights that have not been corrupted by the wizard. She seeks the legendary Hero of Time, who will show when great evil threatens the land. The search has not been easy many knights have fallen and the Princess locked in her own dungeon. The few that remain hide in the Lost woods protecting the only weapon that has the strength of withstanding the might of the Triforce.
Hidden in the ruins of the Temple of Time, the Master Sword sleeps, waiting to awake by the Hero of Time...to be used once again.
Outside the Temple of Time
Agahnim's scouts have located the last of the Hylain Knights and won't leave until they are dead. Unfortunately for them, the Knights are making sure that they do not leave.
"Agahnim has sent our own brothers against us!" Clashing of swords echo through the woods. The battle is fierce but quick, the scouts being dispatched by the more organized Hylain soldiers. "Forgive me bother," Seph asks has he thrusts his blade into the scout that is under him. His long brown hair blows into the cold wind as he looks up into the dim light coming through the tree tops. "Goddess....give us strength...for we are lost...."
