Disclaimer: I don't own Zelda, you all know that. But if I did…well that's not go into that. Oh and for anyone who read my last story Trials of Majora for some reason it disappeared on the stories screen, which really pissed me off, but I will start a new story because I forgot to save the chapters from the previous story.
Author's Note: Can you give prologues names or are they just…Prologues. Screw it, I'll give it one. Anyway please review otherwise I might lose the will to go on…with the story I mean…I don't have a problem! This chapter occurs before Link woke up from the Sacred Realm and went to fight Ganon, however the chapters after this one occur three years after Link defeats Ganon.
Two years before Ganon falls to Link and the Sages and is banished to the Evil Realm.
Prologue: The Fall of the Rutanian Dragon Knights
The sun was about to set in the sky, around twilight hour. The suns setting figure made the shadows of the warships on the horizon. The ships were sailing for a lone island, Westel island, home of the Dragon Knights of Rutan. The island was fairly big, and covered mostly with a tropical forest, it also had many beaches, but once you got on a beach there was really no where else to go. Cliffs lined the beach shores and prevented anyone from getting up, unless you had another method of getting up. The Dragon Knights were called that for a reason, as they were the only Rutanians to befriend the dragons of the island. However, they were hunted by Ganon for that reason. The warships shifted their cannons towards the island a made ready to fire.
On the island an alarm was heard from the top of the mountain, waking up from the alarm a young man quickly ran around his tent preparing for battle. He grabbed his armor, shield and sword and ran outside. The suns rays hit his eyes hard and he squinted to see what the alarm was trying to warn them of. Then he saw it, what looked as if twenty warships had come to take the island and exterminate their kind. He gritted his teeth and ran down the hill to get his orders.
"Harper!" someone yelled. The young man stopped at his name, "Where the hell have you been?"
"Sorry sir, I was sleeping." The man named Harper responded.
"No time to sleep now Harper."
"I know Kai, I said I'm sorry."
"It's ok, you fight hard for being thirteen."
"Well, I try not to screw up."
Kai laughed, but it quickly faded, "I'm worried this time."
"What about?" Harper asked.
"The soldiers are tired from the last encounter we had and now they follow up with this, hell the dragons are still wounded."
"Mine isn't I can still fly." Harper quickly said.
"I know, but with this force…look find as many riders as you can and go out there and show them what we're made of," Kai ordered.
"Aye, aye sir," Harper said saluting with holding his right arm out in front having it bent at the elbow and quickly grabbed his right wrist with his left hand, then he turned.
"Oh and Harper!" Kai yelled, "If worst comes to worst, make them waste their ammo."
Harper gave a sad nod turned to leave. He was screwed, there was no way in hell he was going to be able to sink that many ships with a limited number of riders. Harper moved up the hill. Chaos surrounded him, soldiers rushing about preparing for battle. Harper ran out to the stables to find six other men preparing their dragons.
"You six, front and center!" Harper yelled. They quickly obeyed and lined up in front of him, "Us seven will rush the enemy head on. If six die the last will act as a sacrifice and waste the ships ammo."
"AYE!" They yelled together and ran back and did final preparations. Harper also moved to his, the dragon was gunmetal in color with dark sapphire eyes. "Well Sirus…this is it." He said the dragon.
Outside four warships made landfall, the others were not far behind. Fire arrows were launched at the warships, but had little impact. The ships flooded the beach with their troops and were just about to scale the cliff when a dragon roar pierced the sky. The seven dragons made their way around the island and attacked the ships and soldiers on the beach. Each dragon had a red flame except for Harper's dragon Sirus his, for one reason or another, was blue. The wooden warships in the front were easily dealt with, but the ones in the back were made more out of metal. Just then a cannonball imbedded itself in one of the riders and he and his dragon fell to the deep ocean. Cannon fire screeched through the air. It seemed these ships were attacking randomly. Harper stopped at a safe spot in the sky and watched the movements of the ships. It just didn't make sense, sure he was only thirteen, but he had seen enough battles to know that they never acted like this.
He soon figured out why the mountain alarm went off again just as the last of the warships sank…or what he thought was the last of the warships. The alarm had spotted thirty more coming in from the other side of the island. Harper closed his eyes, the enemy had basically won, there were just too many warships. But just then he remembered something…
Flashback
"This doesn't look good Harper." Said a soldier.
"Of course it doesn't, fate is testing us." Harper responded.
"What do you mean?" the soldier asked.
"I am a strong believer in fate, my friend, and it is fate that will pull us through."
"I thought it was 'hope will pull us through'."
"That too." Harper said laughing.
End Flashback
Sure Harper had screwed up the saying, but his courage came back nonetheless.
'If we don't stop them here, they could move on to Termina or even Hyrule later and I can't allow that.' Harper thought to himself. He unsheathed his sword and charged on the ships. The fire from the ships were zipping past him, but he gave them no attention. All he cared about now was attacking with Sirus's blue flame and killing everything in his path. But fate had other plans, a sword fight at the summit of the mountain caught his eye. Kai the leader of the Dragon Knights and Jaxon the leader of Ganon's sea force were in a duel. Harper flew above them keeping watch. What he feared the most happened. Jaxon had fatally wounded Kai, the evil man walked over to his victim, picked him up and threw him over the edge of a cliff. Fire boiled within Harper, his best friend had died. Immediately he flew down to Jaxon, jumped off of Sirus and charged with his sword. Harper's anger drove him to kill the man in front of him. However, Jaxon kept his cool image and blocked his attack. Sirus took shots at Jaxon to get his attention away from Harper, but then Jaxon attack Sirus with a devastating magic blow and the dragon dissolved. Harper stopped dead in his tracks, looked at Jaxon, who had an evil grin on, and looked back to where Sirus had been. Slowly he shuffled to where the ashes of his dragon lay. He began to sift through them and pulled out a dragons egg without Jaxon being able to see it. Harper then jumped up and ran for the trail that led to the bottom of the mountain, but Jaxon didn't allow him to escape. He fired another spell straight into Harper and sent him flying into the air and then the ocean.
Three Days Later
A young blonde girl was walking along the beach when a large piece of wood floated up onto shore. The wood carried a man on it. Quickly she ran over to it and tried to wake this stranger up. Slowly, but surely he opened his eyes.
"Are you alright?" she asked.
