Opia: Well... this story came into my head one day as I was staring at the ceiling. A lot of stories start in my mind as "what if..."s. For example, this one... What if Nabooru and Ganondorf were brother and sister? Or better yet, what if they were twins? This takes place way before OoT, when the Sage of Spirit and the King of Evil were little kids just trying to make their way into society. Pretty much everything in this story I made up. Gerudo society is fun to play with and I do in many of my stories. I also played with first person point of view in this one so you can look forward to seeing that in later chapters... Cari? Would you do the honors?
Cari: Alright... Opia does not own the Zelda games and their characters and story plots. She does own the made up characters in the story, which is such a long list I'm not even going to try listing them all.
Opia: Enjoy!

Two for the Price of One ch.1 The Destined Child…or is it Children?
A crowd had gathered around a small hut. It was a special day. The first order male Nabondorf and his overwife Ganooru were about to have their first child together. Konotame, the Gerudo seer, had predicted the child to be born would have the fate of all the scattered Gerudo tribes in her hands. Even the leader, Sheshamari, was there to bless the child. Nabondorf was pacing outside the door, anxious. A cry came from inside the hut, then joined by another. Mamnama, the midwife, burst out the door and over to Sheshamari. She whispered something into the leader's ear. Quickly she followed the midwife into the hut.
Torches kept the inside of the hut warm and cast an orange glow on the scenery. There on a cot lay Ganooru, two cloth bundles in her arms. The new mother was breathing difficulty, sweat poured down her pale face. Sheshamari took the squirming bundles from Ganooru and unwrapped the cloth. She gasped; one of them was a boy. Twins were rare enough, but a boy?! The leader glared down at Ganooru.
"What are their names?" She asked coldly, "Come on. If you have the strength speak!"
Ganooru, her eyes unfocused, weakly lifted her hand, touched the girl, and whispered, "Na…Nabooru…" her hand strayed to the boy. "Ga…Ga…Ganon…" Ganooru's arm fell limply to her side.
Sheshamari narrowed her eyes as she looked from the newborns to their now dead mother. "Which one came out first?" She asked the midwife.
"Th-the girl my lord."
The Gerudo leader gazed into the eyes of the wide-eyed baby girl. "Nabooru… the fate of my people is in your hands."

Opia: Very, very, very short... but that's how I wrote it in my notebook. Oh, well...... I might change the title.... maybe....
Cari: Questions? Comments? Then please R&R!
Opia: You sound like a commercial....
