Prologue: Starting Again

There was a storm that night...the night I had that horrible dream. I tossed and turned in bed almost every hour, sweating cold sweat that just made me uncomfortable.

Malon was walking through the graveyard again, but why? I followed her until she came to a certain grave and put her head down for some reason...as if she were crying!

As lightning flew across the sky again I walked in front of her to see why she was crying, but she couldn't see, or hear me. As I watched her cry, I got an incstinct to look at the grave behind me, but I didn't want too...afraid of what it might say. And then...everytime I would try to look at it, it would flash, making me cover my eyes.

"GAH!" I yelled, pulling my spare knife out it seems at nothing. It was that same dream that plagued me for many nights. Malon was still sleeping beside me, warm and comfortable. I smiled as I looked at her sleep, she was so beautiful.

Meanwhile my side of the bed was soaked with sweat, and to top that off it wasn't even morning yet. The candle that I lit beside my bed that night was still lit.

"What was on that grave that frightend me so much..." I whispered. I was dieing to know, but it wasn't like that was going to happen soon.

Raising up from my bed I pulled on my blue tunic and boots, seeing as i wasn't going to sleep anymore tonight."This would be a good chance to finish some chores early..." I murmered, rubbing my eyes and walking out of the dark room.

I hadn't noticed...it was thundering and lightning outside, but no rain. I heard something in the living room behind me and went to check it out, keeping my hand close to my knife on my thigh. Slowly and quietly I walked, and turned the corner, lighting a small cadle to help see in the dark, and there on the couch was what scared me most of all." Kaiten?"

He was asleep alright, well out cold. He must have come back earlier while I was asleep...But that couldn't have been what I heard in here earlier.

Lightning flashed across the sky again, and this time I could make out a shadow from the window for a breif moment and then it was gone." Wow I must be seeing things!" I yelped." Maybe I better go back to sleep for the better..."

I heard movement from Kaitens place behind me and I turned to see him." Link? What are you doin awake?" He yawned and stretched.

" I couldn't sleep..." I told him, setting the candle down on the table beside the couch. He made a confused face and sat back, putting his hands behind his head.

" Nightmares again?" Said Kaiten after a long while. He was right, more nightmares had started and that can't be good.

"Yeah. It's nothing I can't handle anyway." Lightning flashed again across the window, and this time it seems the lightning struck something, for the thunder was immense afterward." That one hit somethin..." I said." Must have been hard too...I'll go check it out, to see if it didn't start a fire."

Kaiten got up and stretched one more time, handing me my sword." I'm coming with you. Hold on a sec, let me regain my composuer..." I gave him time to stretch a little more, cracking his back and some other places before we set out to check up on the barns and cows.

There didn't seem to be anything wrong, and lightning didn't seem to strike anywhere in the ranch. But there was this strange feeling in the back of my head, telling me to go back to Malon, still in the house sleeping."Kaiten I think we better get back..."

"Why now?" He protested, even I know how much he loves thunderstorms. A lightning bolt flickered across the sky as if Din herself had launched it from her mighty hands.

" I just have a bad feeling...and I don't want to leave her alone." Kaiten nodded, understanding my will to stay by bher side. We walked back to the house over by the shed, and realized something..."Hey didn't we close this door?"

"Yeah I remember closing it when we walked out..." Kaiten whispered, looking at me. We nodded and stormed into the house and up the stairs, into the bedroom where Malon lay sleeping. We busted in, making sure there wasn't anything waiting in the room for us and turned to the sleeping Malon.

I was releived to find her still sound asleep in a dreamless slumber." Good she's alright...maybe the wind just knocked the door open." Sighing I went to go sit down on the edge of the bed while Kaiten leaned up against the doorway. Rain finally began falling outside from the storm and showed no signs of stopping any soon. If I dig into my memory corectly this looks exactly like the time when..." The seven year war..."

" What?" Said Kaiten confusingly.

"This night looks exactly like the night the seven year war started so long ago." I was right...I remember the day when I walked up to the castle drawbridge, the rain still not falling until Zelda and Impa rode past me...and then came Ganondorf. The rain had started to fall then.

" Thats right Hero Of Time." I looked at Kaiten and he looked at me. Who said that? We both looked at the couch in the darkest corner in the room where the voice had come from. A hooded and cloaked figure sat there with it's legs cross and both it's arms on the bed rest. The only thing we could see were brown eyes gazing into our own.

"Who are you..." I said in a low deadly tone, knowing that this person was here on specific business." And why did you come here?" Simple question huh?

" I am Sylvana...and to make it easier for you, I am also a Gerudo." Kaiten raised an eyebrow, half of his nature practically was Gerudo." And yes I am here on important business..." What? she can read my mind?

"Well...friend how about showing yourself? If your on important business why stay hidden?" Kaiten said, smirking afterward. I had a very bad memory about this Sylvana.

She laughed and raised into a standing position, throwing the cloak off of her body revealing her true identity. I confess, it was very unormal." Hey wait...you don't look Gerudo at all...your skin color is bright!" I yelled. Malon moved, making me uncomfortable.

"Yeah...and your hair color is different as well...blonde?" I was right, she looked just like a Hylian, but her eyes weren't the same color. A Hylians eyes are either Blue, Green, or Purple, and her eyes were brown.

"Yes boys, I am only half Gerudo. Theres no time to talk. For I must make my speech..." I sat back down on the bed wondering how Malon could be sleeping through all of this. The Gerudo cleared her voice, startling me for a second out of my thinking." Now if you recall, seven years ago the imprisoning war started when you were just a lad...but alas that war has been prolonged thanks to you mighty hero."

"Wait prolonged? I though it ended?" I asked, jumping back to my feet. The Gerudo laughed and Kaiten made a frown on his face, seeming to get very angry at the fact that the war is still going on somehow.

" You never thought about what would happen when the alternate timeline and the original time line hit the same spot in the dimension now did you?" She said...and in the way she said it made me very confused." I'm referring to the year you woke up out of your deep slumber when you pulled the triforce...in just a couple more hours the two timelines will clash and "he" will be ressurected."

Damn it...first Dracula now Ganondorfs coming back...whats next?" But how I thought the six sages and I sealed him away in the alternate dimension?"

" It's true you sealed him away...but that all doesn't matter now...in a couple of hours you will relive that experience that you had through the wars. I have come as a messager from Naburoo of Gerudo Fortress..." I cut her off there.

"Wait she remembers all of this too?" As i said this a small ball of light rose from Sylvana's back, floating over her haead. Kaiten and I gasped so hard our hearts almost fell into our stomachs!

The small ball of light talked, and it's voice so familiar and soothing." Yes Link...it's Navi." I was so surprised that I forgot about everything about the seven year war and walked over to her. She flew onto my shoulder and laughed,"Link why the shocked expression?"

"Navi I haven't seen you in so long! Is this where you'v been?" A tear formed in my eye, Navi was like a mother to me when I was younger, always bossing me around, making sure I was ok when I got cuts a or bruise's, and she even protected me from something one hundred times larger than herself. She was definatly a strong friend.

Navi laughed again at the face I was making as I looked at Kaiten. I merely forgot about the laughing Gerudo and looked at Navi." I had to leave you...I was to go to the dessert and get all the knowledge I could find and come back to you on the day Ganondorf would return. So I can be by your side forever and ever."

"Navi I'm surprised you don't remember me..." Kaiten said making a small face that looked like he was sad. Navi smiled, making her light grow lighter.

"Oh Kaiten how could I forget you?" She flew over to him and sat on his shoulder. I could hear another vocie behind my back and I soon found out that it was Malon.

" Navi now don't you forget me..." She rose to a sitting position. I was surprised, when did she wake up?" Thats not the important matter...we have to do something about Ganons return. I doubt that he'll come back from the realm empty handed."

I looked at her blankly, wanting to ask how long she'd been up but I decided to save it for now. Looking back at Sylvana I realized she must have been a great fighter judging from the scimitars and the spear on her back." We'll have to warn Zelda..." I looked at the ttriforce on the back of my hand.

Kaiten who had been quiet the whole time finally spoke up with confidence in his eyes, something I haven't seen in him since the day we defeated Ganondorf." Well we'd better get started...Zelda won't be to happy if she wakes up to find her city in ruin." He rose to his feet and walked over to the closet across from Sylvana and opened it, revealing a small armoury of differen't kinds of bows, swords, and arrows that he always used when going out somewhere. Quickly Kaiten began loading himself.

"Well I geuss that means me too..." Malon spoke up," Even if it means disappointing my father again. And besides." I looked at her with a smile." I'm engaged to the best man in Hyrule, what could stop us?" At that moment I felt like hugging her so badly, but i knew it wasn't the time and that we soon had a fight on our hands.

"Thank you Malon..." I answered back." Now to get dressed...lets see..." I looked into the same closet that Kaiten had looked in and picked out a black bow and strapped it onto my back followed by the master sword and a quiver of dragon horn arrows.

"Oh and I almost forgot, it seems Impa knew of this up coming battle and has also called in the rest of the sages, unlocking their memorys." I almost forgot about Sylvana sitting there in the chair, quietly.

Malon stocked herself as well with a small dagger on her thigh and what looked like an endless supply of arrows on her back." Well then...lets get ready to go, theres more than enough horse's for all of us here."

I could tell this would be another crazy adventure...it was worth it. Because life is always the best adventure you could find. And what happens in life is something to be treasured...because we'll probably never be here again.
