Chapter 1: The Awakening
Eric awoke in a forest. Lost he searched for refuge
from the pouring rain. With nothing familiar he walked forward a bit
taking in his surroundings. In the distance, he saw a beautiful town.
He walked towards the town and entered it. He was surprised to find
only one man inside the town. Drenched to the bone he asked him where
he could find shelter.
The man said, "Here, come inside."
He led him to the man's house and Eric felt at home.
They happily
conversed until Eric asked him if he had heard of the tales of Link.
The man then replied with a hiss that struck terror straight into
Eric's heart.
Eric was confused and suddenly found him self
outside where it had then ceased to rain. The sky was red. The clouds
were black. Eric turned to run but found the man in his way. The man
had turned dark and his eyes glowed with the inferno of Hell itself.
The man staggered forward then at once released an enormous amount of
energy. He glowed a deep red; almost as if he we boiling his own
blood. The red aura swirled around him as he transformed into the
legendary dragon known as Firion. The dragon rose into the sky and
with one swoop of its mighty wings, razed the town of any
obstruction. There was a dark figure mounted on its back and as the
dragon roared the figure stood up arms stretched to the sky. The sky
opened and fire rained from the heavens. Eric was unable to move as
the figure spoke; "All shall wither, All shall perish! This I
promise to execute! Be filled with terror Hyrule, your last hour is
at hand!"
At these words, Eric cowered in fear and awoke in a
cold sweat. He knew that this dream had too much detail to be his
subconscious playing tricks on him. He stood up, walked to the center
of his room, and was about to walk out of the door when he heard a
voice.
It said, "I have chosen you to vanquish this evil."
Eric replied "Me? Of all people, you choose me?" The voice
replied, "Yes, you are the one who has been specified for this
task. Prepare yourself!" At these words, Eric felt a searing
pain coarse through his body and felt as though his left hand was
being drawn to an unknown source. With the pain continuing, Eric was
on the brink of passing out. Right before this came to pass, he heard
the voice say, "Relax. All will be revealed." With another
wave of pain sweeping over his body, Eric could stand no longer. He
fell to his knees, and blacked out.
