In a time of darkness a hero will be chosen…

The Arengrey

The Arengrey won't actually come until later on in the story. Anyways, this chapter just fills in the blanks for the story. Read and enjoy suckers! (If I somehow criticize the reader for calling the 'suckers' then I give them my full apologies.)

C1: The World of Darkness

Nine hundred years ago, when the world was good and there was hope for peace in the world, when the legend of Zelda was a popular myth, there was a man named Mideron – his last name was unknown. He threatened Earth many times for about ten years that he was going to take it over. No one believed him, though. The reason why was because he had no country – so he didn't have an army – he was alone, and no one really knew who was after some investigations. After ten years and the world decided it was just someone who was trying to cause a commotion, Spain was attacked. It wasn't known how until a messenger said that someone with an army of ten thousand was attacking Spain, and threatening to take over Earth. It was Mideron. His army was made of followers who also sought to take over Earth. After ten years of war he finally took over Earth. He created his kingdom called Yrenda which existed in England. Now, everything that happened in our history since then still happened, except the only difference was that the world was taken over by darkness. Christopher Columbus still sailed to America, and about the year 1841, Mideron built a new kingdom for himself to replace Yrenda, which existed in Canada. The empire was called Marcovia.

The people of Earth did not like their king or the fact that they were living in darkness. Many heroes fought to give Earth back its freedom. But they all failed and died, except for one. His name was Larkin, a Centaur. He survived, but no soul knows where he is today.

Not too long later he discovered of a 'Garuda'. A Garuda was actually a mythological bird created by India that was a giant bird of prey with a beautiful golden body and scarlet wings. It was an enemy to snakes. Mideron didn't care much, until he found out that it was supposed to take place three thousand years after the Time of Zelda and was supposed to affect a time of darkness. He realized that the time was drawing near. He did a bit more research and he found a very old book. Inside it said that one day a Hyrule – ancestors of Zelda who inherit her last name (I'm guessing that is her last name) – will fight against Mideron and rid the world of darkness. The Garuda would get help from others.

After Mideron read that he had every Hyrule hunted and down and killed. 1985, Mideron fell in love with a woman named Jayla. It wasn't until 1990 that every Hyrule in the world were killed. Today it is the year 2005.

The main character of the story is someone I need to tell as well – mostly about his life – is about a twenty-two year old man named Bosphorus, who everyone just called Phorus. His father, Zyro, never told Phorus his last name.

He was born in January 4, 1983. His mother was murdered when he was one years old. Phorus was only told that his mother was murdered and he wasn't told her name. His two younger brothers, Clyde and Kyle – twins – had a different mother. They were born in 1990. He lived in a kingdom hidden in England called Tiburon. This was the only place in the entire world where magic existed. It was kept secret because they didn't want Mideron discovering it and then destroying Tiburon or using it. However, Marcovia also had magic in it, but that was kept secret by them as well – only Tiburon knew.

When Phorus was seven he was attacked by creatures called Dalis's – creatures that resemble humans except they have green, scaly skin, a hunched back, scarlet hair that only ran down the head and the spine, with yellow eyes, and had claws and were about seven feet tall. He and his father and his pregnant step mother – Veronica – were all attacked by the Dalis's in their own home – and it wasn't just Phorus. They escaped and they ran away to live closer to a school of witchcraft and wizardry, called Groudarts. There they would be more protected. About one month later Clyde and Kyle were born.

The year Phorus had turned eight in August his father had him go to Groudarts for school. Every month he would get one week off from Groudarts to visit his family. Then in the middle of June was his summer vacation. Then he would start his next year at school. The headmaster of the school was Master Kapall, a very powerful Wizard, and one of the strongest. That was the only reason he chose to be headmaster – because he was strong and could protect the children from all the darkness. He had been Headmaster for the past one hundred and twenty years when Phorus started. Phorus was going to graduate from Groudarts when he was eighteen. There was no repeating a grade, because if you failed a grade then you would be expelled. Groudarts didn't want slackers because they need people who can actually helps save the evil world.

But Master Kapall said that every ten years he would choose one apprentice from the tenth years – those who were eighteen years old. That was the same year Phorus was eighteen – Master Kapall had been teaching one hundred and thirty years when Phorus was going to graduate, which meant Kapall had thirteen apprentices already. He was going to choose from the tenth years. It was supposed to be a great privilege to be his apprentice, and learn magical skills that none others could learn. The problem for Phorus was that he was one of these weaker students who weren't that good at magic – Kapall only chose the one who was most talented at magic, the wisest, and most dedicated. There was no way Phorus was going to make it. The only true magical powers he ever had and was born with were having sudden outbursts of power that was unheard of and were caused by these emotions: rage, sorrow, happiness, scared, impatient, or extremely embarrassed. Another skill was a very rare ability – being able to fly. He was able to do that, but it was said that when he flew it looked like he was inside of a giant, transparent bird. Phorus never saw it because he was inside of it. Those were the only special abilities he had. There was still no way Kapall would choose him. He was most likely going to choose Sezumo, the best tenth year student at Groudarts. But when Kapall chose Phorus, there was uproar. Sezumo ran away and wasn't heard of since, and Phorus trained under Kapall for four years until he was twenty-two years old. It was a mystery why Kapall chose him. But for Phorus, knowing what his last name was, who is mother was and how she was murdered, why Kapall chose him instead of Sezumo, why is it he can fly when not too many others can and why there is a bird outside of him when he flies, and why does he get these outbursts of anger were the only true mysteries of his life. And that is where the true story starts.
