DISCLAIMER: I do not own Zelda and I did not even write all of this. This was written as a group effort and fine tuned by me in an RP at http/s8. seems peaceful in Hyrule. There was no evil plaguing the lands, and nothing to worry about. The knights and armies of Hyrule had been reduced to mere guard duty. The Gorons were secluded, not allowing any entrance to their city. The Gerudo and Zora stayed within their respective areas. Kokiri sank into legend, and Kokiri forest became a haunted place; believed to be infested with souls of lost ones. No major activity had been done by any of the races since Ganon's sealing.
However, at this time, rumors start rushing in. The Gerudo, Zora, and Gorons may be plotting something against Hyrule. The king, already suspicious of their seclusion, sends out a spy to each territory. The spy sent out towards the Gerudo area was killed in Gerudo Valley, as the king had suspected. The spy sent towards Goron City was killed by an eruption of Death Mountain, and the spy sent towards Zora's Domain is unable to find any entrance to the domain. The king is perplexed by this, and sends word towards Kakariko village to expect anything.
Sixteen days pass since the spies had been sent out with nothing happening. The Hylians put their minds to ease, and resume their daily lives without any fear. They do not fear anything will penetrate their defenses anyway. Many of the knights had given up any hope of action, and many have retired from the army, trying to lead a life of peace. Two more days pass, guards are killed at Zora's River. The people are in panic about this, and the king tries to calm the people, but to no avail. The people start revolting, threatening to storm Hyrule Castle lest the king sends out an expedition party. The king gives in to the people's demands, and sends an expedition party out. An hour after the party had been sent out the party comes rushing back. They claim that the Zoras are preparing for war. The people were in panic.
To make matters worse, Death Mountain erupted the following day, and while the lava wasn't able to reach Kakariko village, the rocks that came with it destroyed many of the houses in Kakariko. Some of the rocks even went as far as Zora's Domain and Hyrule Castle Town. The king believed that the Zora and Gorons were behind this, and had the army reinstated to protect against any Gerudo attacks. With the people threatening to revolt, the king persuaded the people to wait one more day until he stepped down. The night was spent in suspense by the people, who thought that they might just rebel the next evening. However, in the afternoon, came Zora people, who attacked Hyrule. At the same time, the Gorons rolled down from the mountain and were destroying Kakariko. The Gerudo were reported to be sending a small platoon into the battlefield. The people were in chaos, and the king summoned some of his elite warriors, as well as some mercenaries to try and find out what is going on, and kill the leaders of this attack. A war between all had begun.
Author's note: R&R. More will be up quickly as soon as I finish converting what the RP already has to a more readable and consistent story.
