The Legend of Zelda

Another Time

Chapter One: Destiny Renewed

It was a day like any other. Students rushing from the dreaded school house as the final bell rang. Nothing gave any indication that today would be any less ordinary than the day before. The sky was sickeningly clear, adding to the dullness of another dull day. There would be no rain nor snow today. There would be nothing exciting going on, especially since this day happened to be called 'Monday.' It is, no wonder then, that the wild blonde haired skateboarding youth expected today to be as uneventful as every other day. He skated down the quiet sidewalks, his occassional tricks and flips the only amusement he would know while he made his way towards home. He did not have the slightest inkling that today would be the day his life would change forever.

The sky suddenly darkenes as a storm approached. The youth slowed down and came to a stop. "Aw man, this bites. Stupid weatherman, it's not suppose to rain today." An opening emerging from the clouds caught the teenager's eye. A blue light bursted from the opening into the middle of the empty street just up ahead. Entranced by this strange light, he set off towards it on his Epona Sports skateboard, oblivious of his surroundings. He came to a clean halt before the blue light and curiously stared at it. "Aliens?", he wondered. Descending from the sky in the blue light was an elegant and beautiful young maiden. Her blue gown rippled as she floated down towards the ground. A pearl tiara rested around her long, and slightly wavey brown hair. A blueish crystal triangle on a purple chain dangled from her neck and hovered above her bust.

The beautiful young lady in blue, whose short puffy sleeves are trimmed in purple with a thick purple ribbon right beneath her bust, softly touched the ground. Her blue eyes opened sadly as she made visual contact with the skateboarder. She appeared to be pleading to him, begging of him for...something.

Softly I whisper your name

If ever I needed you

I need you now

Softly I whisper your name

Sweetly I begin to pray

If ever I needed you

I need you now

Please help me

Somehow

Softly I whisper your name

Sweetly I call out to you

Down on my knees

I'm begging you please

I need you now

If ever

Softly I whisper

Sweetly I call

Begging of you

Catch me fall

Softly I whisper your name

Sweetly I call out to you

Pleading I cry out for you

Please answer me

Somehow

Softly I whisper

Sweetly I call

Softly I whisper

I need you now

As if enchanted by the siren's song, the young blonde suddenly felt himself inclined to do whatever he can to make this lovely lady happy, and wipe away the sorrow from her eyes. She began to reach out towards him with a heavy-burdened heart filled with hope and desperation. "Please, help me, I beg you. I need your help. You are the only one I can turn to. You are the only one who can help me. Please, I am begging. You must help me..." The young man extended his own hand to take hers, but quickly found himself back on the sidewalk on a clear afternoon day.

He shook his head. "Weird. I must have been daydreaming or something. Stupid school, making me bored even when I'm leaving.", the young skateboarder muttered to himself and continued his way home. Nearby, atop a tall building, a mysterious youth had been watching the young man intently. "The princess appears before the hero, entreating him for his assistance. Her plea has been relayed. The instructions have been pressed and sealed. All that is left is for her envoy to present them before the young hero so that he may begin his quest on behalf of the fair princess."

The stranger lept off of the buidling and performs a triple axel and immediately started to roller-skate after the blonde youth. The skater is dressed in torn blue jean shorts and a loose baggy black tee. A purple bandana was tied off on his left shoulder and hung loosely around his neck while a blue bandana is wrapped around his short brown hair with a red symbol of an eye with three triangular eyelashes above it. The bangs of his brown hair completely covered his left eye, but his right blue eye was still somewhat visible. "He is rather swift on that roller-board.", the mysterious youth remarked in pursuit.

The young skateboarder suddenly made a sharp turn, and the skater agilely followed in pursuit. "It is imperative that I reach him before he arrives at his private residence.", the young and mysterious skater reminded himself. However, as the skater had feared, the two rolled into the residential district. "Excuse me!", the mysterious youth politely called out. No answer. "Please, forgive my intrustion!", he called out again, but still no response. The handsome blonde turned into a driveway and slowed down. The skater casually rolled away as he sighed. The young man stepped off of his board then looked over his shoulder. There is no one to see. "Strange, for a moment I thought...nevermind." The handsome teen took up his board and entered his house.

Airport representives frantically prepare themselves for the arrival of a very important diplomat from another country. Finally, a figure approached from the landing gate, surrounded by private security personnel in black suits. "Lord Ganondolf! Welcome to America!", one of the officials offered a greeting. Lord Ganondolf was a tall man who stood around seven feet tall. His shoulders were broad and his frame was tight fitting. His chin, very prominent and pointed, and his nose long. His brow was very well established, and his eyebrows were very thin. His red hair was well groomed and his black eyes were beady with the look of an aristocratic disdain. His mouth, however, was somewhat crooked, though few would dare point out such a flaw to him. His skin was a light olive, clothed in dark and regal attire appropiate for his status and personal preferences.

"Has the young princess arrived yet?" The representives turned and looked at each other. "Was not the young Princess Zelda the 23rd not also scheduled to arrive at this airport?", the towering aristocrat clearified. "I appologize, Lord Ganondolf, but, we know nothing about an arrival of a princess at any of our terminals.", one of the representives appologized. "I see. Then perhaps I have arrived early. I had hoped that the princess and I could have an audience together. It is of little consequence now. I will simply await her arrival.", the dark lord remarked. "Lord Ganondolf, we have a limounsine prepared for you. Your luggage is already being loaded." "Very good. Take me to it.", the nobleman ordered.
