Beyond the Sun

Chapter 1: Runaway princess

The sun was high that day. The royal sorceress predicted that it would be a rather warm day with no rain in sight.

A young girl, about the age of seventeen, stared out of her bedroom window as the heat began to rise. She dreamt of one day being able to leave to castle grounds and venture around Hyrule and the surrounding communities. She was, however, able to leave a few times, but was soon caught by guards.

"Princess Zelda, your highness, please open up your door." A knock and a woman's voice came from the other side.

"Just a minute!" Zelda took in one more deep breath of fresh air before she went to answer the door. She opened it up to see her head caretaker standing there. "Oh! Hello Impa! Will you please stop calling me 'your highness'?"

"I'm sorry my dear. Anyway, your father has summoned you to speak with him." Impa said stepping into the room.

"What does he want now," Zelda rolled her eyes. "Everyone treats me like I'm an object, well, except for you Impa."

"I'm not sure m'lady. He just requested me to tell you that you have been summoned. And you know right from wrong that everyone adores you here."

"Please. Call me just ZELDA!" Zelda sighed. "I wish I was just a normal girl for once." Zelda threw herself into Impa's arm.

Impa looked down at the miserable princess and stroked her golden blonde hair. "It'll be ok my dear. Now go on and see your father before he gets angry."

Zelda nodded her head and walked down the hall. Within minutes she arrived at the hall where her father was sitting in his throne. "Zelda, my dear! Please come here!" The King said in a sort of jolly tone.

Zelda approached her father and knelt before him. "What is it that you summoned me for, your highness?"

"Please! I'm your father! Zelda, please get up and sit here!" Her father pointed to a smaller throne next to him. "There's no need to address me like that. You're royalty!"

Zelda raised an eyebrow. This was unlike her father. He had always commanded that everyone kneel before addressing him, especially his daughter. They were to speak in a formal tone and never speak out of line. Zelda was afraid to say anything at this moment.

"There's no need to be scared, Zelda." Her father said rubbing her shoulder. "Relax, please."

"oh…um…ok. What did you need me for, father?" Zelda said not making eye contact. She was still wondering why he was acting like this.

"I know I have had you address me and all that stuff, even though you're my own daughter. You're getting older now and soon you will be taking over the title of ruler of Hyrule. In a matter of time I will be addressing YOU! But that can't happen until you marry," The King stopped and paused for a moment. "This isn't customary for Hyrulian royalty to do this, but it was your mother's last wish. I'm allowing you three months to find a man that you wish to be your husband. If you don't find a suitable man in that time, I will be forced to pick one myself. Am I understood, my dear?"

Zelda was astonished. Actually, very surprised. She hadn't thought much about marriage. All she ever thought of was living a normal life as a normal girl. "Yes father." Zelda stood up, gave her father a hug and ran off.

Later that night Zelda laid down on her bed and collected her thoughts. "A husband…hmmm…I'm sure any guy would just marry me for my money and power. I want a guy who will love ME for ME. I want a normal life and a normal family. But how the hell am I supposed to FIND a guy when I'm not allowed to outside the castle grounds?! And plus I only have three months to get a guy! I'm hopeless…" Zelda sighed and fell asleep as the crickets were chirping outside.


The sun rose early the next morning, shining it's golden rays across Zelda's face. The morning mist tickled her nose, waking her up. Rubbing the sleepies out of her eyes, Zelda sat up and stretched her arms. The first thought that came into her mind was the craziest ever. 'I should runaway until I find a guy who suits me.' Zelda thought to herself. Her eyes grew wide as her smile went from ear to ear. "That's it!" Zelda jumped out of bed, dressed herself, grabbed her cloak and went to her balcony.

It was a long way down so she performed a magic spell and landed down at the bottom. There were guards everywhere, but most of them were idiots. Running down the side of the rock wall and climbing the vine that was growing on the side of the gate, Zelda made it safely into Hyrule market. It was still busy as ever.

She started walking faster again before anyone could recognize her. Zelda knew that guards were watching the drawbridge so she entered an alleyway and crawled threw a fairly large crack in one of the buildings. She jump over the moat and into freedom.

Her freedom was cut short when she heard a guard blow his whistle. 'Oh crap!' Zelda thought to herself when she started running. Holding onto her cloak's hood, Zelda ran for dear life, and headed into the first opening in the forest she could see.

Being unaware of her surroundings, Zelda ran into a person on the pathway. She rubbed her head, while on the ground, and looked at the person whom she ran into. It was a boy with green clothes, golden blonde hair, two deep blue oceans for eyes who looked about her age. Zelda couldn't afford to loose anymore time so she tried to get up.

"Here, let me help you up." The boy said offering his had.

Without hesitation Zelda took it and stood up. "Please! You have to help me!" Luckily her hood was still up so the boy couldn't see her face well.

"What's wrong?"

"Um…I'm being hunted…and I uh…need to hide away until they pass!" Zelda lied. It was better than nothing since she heard footsteps and hooves coming her way.

"Um…ok…come with me!" The boy grabbed her hand again and led her into the forest.

They stopped when they entered to what seemed to be a small village. Zelda's face was beaming to see that she was finally out of the castle and somewhere else. She looked around some to notice that the trees and plants were much different, and there were kids everywhere!

"Um…where am I?" Zelda asked nervously.

"You are in Kokiri Village. The people you see are the Kokiri. They never grow old and are watched over by the great Deku Tree."

"But…you're dressed like them and seem to be the same age as me."

"Yeah…but I'm not a Kokiri, I am a Hyrulian. I was entrusted to the care of the great Deku Tree by my dying mother."

"Oh…I'm sorry…"

"No need to be sorry, I never knew her and the Kokiri's became my family. I'm Link by the way, and you are?"

"I'm…uh…Zelda…"

"That's a pretty name. If you don't mind can I see what Zelda looks like?" Link reached for the hood and pulled it down. Zelda felt safe and trusted Link, even though they just met.

His eyes seemed to be fixed on her for a while once the hood was removed. Ironically, Zelda couldn't remove her eyes from Link either. An unexpected spark formed between the two, even though they just met.

Out of nowhere a blue light came flying around between Link's and Zelda's faces. Zelda looked closer and saw a small figure of a fairy with its wings flapping rapidly. "What's that?" Zelda pointed.

"Oh! That's Navi the fairy. She 'helps' me when I go on adventures. Say hi Navi!" Link responded watching the fairy turn slightly green.

"Hello you bratty princess!" The fairy hissed and darted off into the trees.

"I'm sorry about that. She's usually not that harsh around people, but she does get a little antsy around Saria, my best friend." Link apologized for the fairy while rubbing the back of his head. Zelda's face grew red.

"Are you really a princess?" He questioned, a bit curious.


Two months had passed since their meeting. Link and Zelda saw each other almost everyday, and when they didn't Zelda grew emotionally weary. Link was her first and only friend…and boyfriend. Though her father never knew about it. Zelda started to forget her father's deadline to find a man.

As for the day that Zelda ran away. She spent the rest of the day with Link and snuck back into her room and nothing was suspected. Sort of. The guards did tell her father that Zelda had escaped, but Zelda sucked up to her father and convinced him that the guards were being stupid.

The next day Zelda wanted to see Link again, but to her surprise he showed up underneath her balcony (kinda like Romeo and Juliet) and invited her to go riding. Zelda was surprised that Link accepted her for being a princess and started to love her. Maybe that day when she ran away wasn't such a bad idea.

…Sitting on her balcony, Zelda waited for Link to come with his horse, Epona, and sweep her away again. Looking at the sun she become aware that it was getting late. Late for Link to come that is. Zelda felt adventurous anyway so she teleported herself down and snuck out the usual way.

Zelda went into the Kokiri village and was greeted by everyone as usual. Since her and Link were together, she became a regular and started to get to know everyone. But just like their first meeting, Navi, Link's fairy, would get jealous and run off.

Zelda spotted Link's tree house and climbed up the ladder. She heard Link and someone else talk inside. It was a woman's voice, but it was one that she didn't recognize.

"…you wrote me this letter, Link! Don't deny it!" The woman said, obviously trying to accuse Link of something.

"I never wrote you anything! And plus I told you it was over between us a long time ago! Get over it." Link started to sound annoyed.

"But Link! The proof is right here! Come back!" The woman pleaded.

Zelda finally opened the curtain door to see that a red haired woman was hanging onto Link. She wanted to go over to the girl and rip out her heart. Link pushed away the girl and walked up to Zelda.

"I can explain! It's not what it looks like! Trust me!" Link said trying to take Zelda in his arms.

Zelda backed away and smacked Link's arms away. "Go away you two-timer!" She steamed and climbed down the ladder.

Link ran out onto his tree house ledge and saw Zelda running to the exit of the Kokiri Village.

"Who was that wench?" The girl said placing her arms around Link's waist.

Link pushed away the girl, since it was indecent to slap a girl, and started heading down the ladder. "Shut up! I never want to see your face again, Malon."


Preview for next chapter:

"I know how to get her to love you again." She said, turning back to her normal color.

"I don't want to make her love me. I want her to love me on her own free will." He retorted.

She turned a bit red then calmed down to her normal blue. "I know something that will soothe her and calm her down so you'll be able to talk to her again."

"Really? What is it?"
