So this is the first chapter of a story I am very excited about, I got the idea randomly, but i think its good. Its.. Kinda a halo/zelda crossover, but there isn't going to be much in the way of halo in here except for a few things that I need. hope you like it

Thunder clapped through the sky as the heavy rain pelted the ground, but none of this seemed to matter to the small family who was currently being held at sword point on the vast hylian plane.

"Please. Take whatever you'd like, but leave my family alone, we've done you no harm!" pleaded an elderly man as he made an attempt at standing between the bandits and his family.

"Sorry old man, but I'm afraid its to much of a.. Liability to leave alive" The heavy set bandit seemed to choke on his words as he eyed the young fiery haired daughter.

Upon seeing the bandit eyeing his daughter the father drew a small pocket knife from his shirt and made a clumsy leap at the fat bandit, he only made it a matter of feet though, before he was knocked hard to the ground by one of the other bandits.

"That was a foolish move old man, for that, I think I'll have the pleasure of both torturing your wife, and.. well, just the pleasure of your daughter" the fat bandit chuckled hoarsely

"No, please, take my life, but leave them alone, I beg of you!" the man coughed as he tried in vain to get back on his feet.

"Oh, I intend on taking your life fool, but I am afraid that's just not enough" with that the bandit drew a rather large scimitar and moved towards the man.

In a last attempt at saving himself the man began to crawl backwards, away from both his family and the bandit, finding this amusing the fat bandit toyed with him and they both seemed to disappear into the darkness or enough so that neither of them could be seen by the conflicting group at family's caravan.

Suddenly all was quiet, then only a scream could be heard, then once again silence. Thinking the worst, the mother and daughter could only hold each other and weep as the group of bandits began to descend upon them.

That is until the fat bandit was thrown hard enough to propel him through the group of bandits and into a lone tree on the plane. And cracked the tree in half.

Staring in horror towards the darkness that the bandit's leader had just been hurled from, the bandits began to draw their weapons and shrink back away, towards the tree.

"What manner of man could have thrown him so hard as to break a tree?"

"It was no man! It Must have been a demon!" the bandits muttered a few prayers before returning to silence.

"A demon… Indeed" A dark, powerful voice said from behind the group of bandits

Upon turning around to see the source of the voice, and the demon they so feared they came face to face with a young man, 20 years of age with blonde, untamed hair, and a larger than average build.

"You shall leave this family alone, and never again bother another as long as you shall live" the young man said firmly.

"Your crazy, there's a demon out here and your worried about some family's well being? Run you fool, while you still can!" a random bandit said nervously

"This demon you speak of… Is the man you speak too…" the young man said, and locked eyes with the bandit.

"Enough of your non-sense, I don't know how you could have thrown our leader into that tree, but I am not going to give you the chance to…" his speech was cut off as he found a fist buried directly through the centre of his chest, and out his back.

As the body slumped to the ground, they young man looked at the enraged bandits and said quietly, "Unless you take up my offer now, none of you shall live to see the dawn"

The received response was that of the dozen bandits all unsheathing their weapons and circling around the young warrior.

"So be it" said the man regretfully

The bandits all charged in at the young man, but none of them landed a blow, at the last second the man leapt an easy 15 feet in the air with a mere flick of his heels, landing behind a bandit he quickly broke his neck, and leapt back again, putting some distance between himself and the bandits. Then as another flash of lightning broke the silence, the man darted forward faster than the eye could see and tore through the group of bandits, all it took was one swing at a time, a single punch or kick would kill or dismember a bandit.

Before the thunder from the starting bolt of lighting sounded, the fight was over, and the young man stood firm over the bodies of more than a dozen bandits and didn't even have the slightest signs of fatigue on his face.

"Thank you kind stranger" the old man said joyfully as he rushed over to the man and shook his hand "My name is Talon, and this is my daughter Malon, and wife Romani. We own a ranch not 2 hours journey from here and on our way home from Castle town we were ambushed by those thugs, we owe you more than could ever be repaid, But I insist you take these rupees" Talon said as he pushed a small bag of rupees towards the man. "It's not much, but it's all I have"

"Thank you sir, your very gracious, but I need no payment for my deed, I refuse your money." The young man said calmly as he turned towards the pile of corpses behind him

"your very valiant young warrior, If you refuse my rupees, then at least let it be known that you are welcome at our ranch anytime you please, my wife and daughter are excellent cooks, and we breed the best horses in all of hyrule." Talon insisted

"Thank you, perhaps our paths shall cross again… Talon" the young man spoke quietly as his eyes filled with memories of a forgotten past and he stepped into the middle of the pile of bodies.

In an instant the man slammed his fist into the ground and screamed out "Dins Fire" suddenly an eruption of flame burst forth from the warrior and incinerated all of the bodies around leaving nothing but ashes, but not harming a single blade of grass.

With that the young warrior began to walk out into the shadow before being stopped by a soft voice.

"Sir?"

The young warrior turned around and looked into the eyes of Malon as she stared at him questioningly.

"How did you do that?"

"It's called din's fire, It's a powerful spell I learnt… A long time ago" Once again the memories filled his mind and he began to walk away again.

"no sir, that was very impressive, but I mean.. The bandits, you threw one through a tree from 100 yards away, and killed the rest of them without even drawing your blade!" the young woman said inquisitively as she pointed towards the cold blue hilt of a sword that was pointing out from his shoulder.

"I… have been fighting for a long time, and… I guess they may not have been so far off from the truth when they called me… Demon." The young man then stood calmly as he locked eyes with the father.

"What's your name warrior?" talon asked carefully as he eyed the man.

"My name? I have been called many things… But you may call me Link"

"I see… You're an incredible warrior, The best I have ever seen, truly a master… I hope I have the pleasure of meeting you again Link"

"Thank you sir, I would like that very much" Then without another word, Link leapt backwards into the darkness and was gone.
