AN: Hey everyone... I just wanted to tell you, that I'm not a very good speaker/writer 'cause I don't practice too much here in Mexico. So sorry, if there are any spelling mistakes.
Well that's all. Hope you enjoy.
Last Edit: June 24, 2005. I've decided to edit (just the grammar) all the chapters - one chapter per day -for your best enjoyment, I hope you appreciate it. Oh, but i'm really sorry if i don't catch all the mistakes. Oh, and just a little something. To the one known as Airiq, lol, I admit the first chappies were quite frightening in the sense of grammar, but at that time I really didn't have a lot of knowledge in that sense. Forgive me for that, but if you cared enough to read until the last updated chapter, you would probably see that I've improved in that sense.
Oh, and thanks for the "leave/left" advice, lemme check on that. Another thing, just because people don't have right grammar, doesn't mean they're retarded, it's simply that one maybe doesn't have all the knowledge neccesary to correct all of the mistakes. To tell the truth I did proofread 'em all, it was simply that, as said before, didn't haveenough knowledge.
Oh, andI invite you to write yourself a story and you'll see it's not as easy as it seems. Anyways, see ya!;)
It was close to midnight. There in the forest,the only sound that could be heard was the slowly but peaceful chore of a young mare. In her back, was a young boy. He wore a green tunic, cap, and brown boots, below his tunic was a type of blank suit that covered all his body except for his head and arms. He had blonde hair and deep blue eyes. In his eyes, you could see the courage of a warrior, and the love, and pain of a human.
He looked somewhat tired and depressed. He just stood there, in her back, he didn't even know the time it was. He was deep in his thoughts. But he snapped back to reality when he noticed that they had stopped. He shook his head and saw the full moon that was above their heads.
"Whoa… it must be close to midnight, maybe we should stop," he though. "Hey girl, how about a rest?"
The only response he received was of a single nod, so he jumped off from her back and walked to a big tree, being followed closely by his horse and only companion. He sat there and waited for Epona - his horse - to arrive, when she arrived, he searched in his pack for some food. He found two apples, he gave one to Epona and he kept one.
Slowly he began to eat, while thinking about the past three years.
He though of it, he remembered when he left his home, Hyrule. He left it three years ago, but for him, it was just the same three repetitive days he lived in Termina. When the skull kid attempted to make the moon fall over it. And if it weren't for the Ocarina of Time, he would have been killed along with Termina's people.
Termina was an alternal time-line of Hyrule, which was the land that he just saved a day before. From there, he obtained the masks. The magical masks that allowed him to do many different things. He was somewhat happy of that, except, of course, that some of them brought him very painful thoughts that he didn't understand. And yet, he used them, because must of them reminded him of his home.
His home, where his life-long friends were. He missed them. There was not a single day that he didn't think of them. And it was precisely for one of his friends, that he was on this journey. Because of Navi, his fairy companion and most close friend aside of Epona.
When they destroyed Ganon and returned through time, she left him. She didn't even say goodbye. Maybe she had a very good reason for her departing, but he missed her too much. That's why he didn't even hesitate to look for her even if it took his whole life for it.
He soon felt his eyes heavy, and slowly he went to sleep.
But what he didn't know was the soft brightness of one mask on the pack placed in his shield. The Fierce Deity mask.
The dark energy, like the deep of the night, slowly covered all of his body. Suddenly a shadow stood behind him, while he was sleeping. Fearfully, Epona ran to help her young master, but was thrown away by a dark energy that belong to the shadow. All the commotion just made Link to wake up, covered by the dark energy. When he tried to move he realized that he was paralyzed. Just then he noticed the shadowy figure that stood behind him and the darkness that covered him.
"What the hell is going on?" he though.
"It's just that you're dying… my friend," replied a metallic voice that came from the shadow. Then he said to the fear full boy, "Aw... don't worry, you'll like it… I'm just making you a favor for helping me. You will not have to suffer again, my friend."
"Y-You're Fierce Deity… but how?" asked Link.
"I'm here to free you from the pain, and don't worry about her." He pointed to a near tree where Epona was. "She'll be fine," he smiled. Then heraised his hand, there a dark sphere stood.
"Thanks for your help my friend, I shall return the favor you made to me."
With that, he threw the sphere directly to Link's heart.
Link closed his eyes. For a momment he felt a soft and kind energy surround him, and then he felt no more.
"So… this is the death…" that was the last thing he though.
"Hope you enjoy… my friend…" said the Fierce Deity's figure, with a brief but soft smile.
With that he disappeared.

Chapter 1:
Dreams of a Land
In Hyrule, the castle - that belongs to the king - was peacefully silent. There was a young - about thirteen years old - princess with blonde hair and navy blue eyes. She was asleep, but was turning in her bed, sweating, and mumbling something.
Suddenly she woke up. Shuddering very hard, she felt fear, a lot of fear.
In her dreams she saw him dying. Her first and truthful friend that was of her age. Of course her nanny - Impa - was her friend too, but she saw her much more like a mother than a friend. She had the rest of the Sages and Malon as her friends too, but she wouldn't have met them if it wasn't of him. Then she remembered the dream, and tears began falling from her cheeks.
She shook her head, and, making an attempt to calm down, she said to herself, "Zelda calm down… it was just a dream… try to remember that…"
But she failed miserably. She had felt the dream too real, and that's not all, she feared for the well being of her friend. She hadn't seen him in almost four years, when he told her that he was going to leave in search of his fairy companion.
"Navi," she though. She shook her head, and opted to go for some water. So she left the room.
She was that deep in her thoughts, that she didn't notice a shadowy figure that fallowed her.
"Princess, why are you awake?" the figure asked, making the girl to jump.
"Impa! You startled me," she signed with relief, upon seeing who she was.
"Oh, sorry about that, but you still haven't responded to me," the Shekah said.
"I-It's just… that I h-had a bad dream… don't worry about it…" she whispered.
"A dream? What kind of dream?" the Shekah asked, this time much more serious.
The hyrulian princess hesitated for a moment. Then with a brief nod she asked her guardian to go somewhere else. Seeing the nervous girl, she understood that this was important, so they leaved to the library, one of the places that Zelda loved the most.
She guided the girl to a small table that was in the mere corner of the giant library, there she instructed the girl to sit, who obeyed immediately.
"Well…" The Shekah began.
Giving a nod, she signed and began to tell her the dream, "It was in a forest, the bright full moon was making it clear to see. The wind was refreshing, I felt peace at that place, so I began walking in it, deep into the forest. I walked just a few minutes… until I heard a shriek… I went to that place. There, below a tree was… Link… I saw him surrounded by a dark energy… it didn't felt evil… but…" at this time, the girl began shivering hard and tears began to fall from her cheek, when Impa saw this, she gave her a hug.
"The figure that was behind him…he said that he would return the favor… that he would give him peace…" she began sobbing hard, and Impa only hugged her more.
"Then he held his left hand up, a sphere was formed in his hand… and he threw it to Link's chest. His eyes went blank, and the darkness that was surrounding him just... disappeared… as well as the figure… but when it happened… I didn't feel Link's presence anymore...!" she looked up, with tears falling from her cheeks.
"When I ran to him… I just… woke up."
She finished crying in the strong arms of her guardian. "Shh… its okay,"Impa whispered to the young princess.
She knew very well that Zelda had strong feelings for the boy. She remembered the day they met. All the happiness that was in Zelda when he departed to Death Mountain for the Spiritual Stone of Fire - the Goron Ruby. Zelda was very happy that she finally had a friend of her age, but as well much more concerned for the whole situation.
She remembered what Zelda told her that moment, "I hope that nothing bad happens to him...Impa can you please watch him?"
That was what she asked her at that moment. Of course Impa would have done it, but she didn't want to left the princess alone with Ganondorf around. So she just said no, that he was going to be all right.
Indeed she did the right thing, if she had left her at that moment the princess would be dead by now. And that's not all, they wouldn't have destroyed Ganondorf by their own.
A few minutes passed for Zelda to calm down, but even after that, she was letting little sobs to escape from her lips.
Impa looked to the clock, it was 1:17 am. Very early for the princess. She must sleep well, and besides, the king would be very angry if his little treasure didn't sleep well.
"Zelda, you must go to sleep… tomorrow is going to be a long day," she told the young princess.
"But…" the princess began.
"No buts, you must sleep well,"Impa interrupted.
Zelda didn't want to sleep, she feared to see the dream again. But she also didn't want to disobey Impa, so she only nodded. They left, to her room. No word crossed between them. When they finally arrived, they stood in front of the door, glancing atit. Then at unison they said good night, and when Impa was about to leave, Zelda called her.
"Impa?"
"Yes?"
"Thanks…"
Zelda smiled and turned to the door. When she was about to cross it, Impa said, "don't worry princess, he will learn."
Then she leaved, with a very confused Zelda staring after her. After a few moments, she entered her room.
Meanwhile, in a distant land, the moon was shining with a whitish light, that was reflected in a beautiful lake surrounded by a forest. In there was a waterfall that looked like if millions of silver crystals were falling from the rocks. There, behind, was a dark cave. The air there was cool, the ground was wet and with a lot of algae.
Much deeper in the cave was a type of dungeon. There were some kind magic tools, andthe sound of agony was in the air. You could hear the screams of pain of the spirits in there asthere were a lot of spirits. But, even with that,it seemed like if there was a person living in there.
In the back of that strange building was a man standing in front of the fire, staring at it like if he could see something in there.
"Very well, so he think he can save him from me…" he murmured.
"Hah! What a foolish act!" he smirked. "It doesn't matter the way he dies…"
He gave a final glance to the fire and then he left.
"His soul will be mine."
Suddenly the fire disappeared.
The Sacred realm, where the goddesses stood, and house of the Sacred Triforce. There was only light, a pure energy that rised from the center of it, the Temple of Light. It was there, where the power of the ancient Sages rested.
There was only a single Sage known as Rauru the Sage of Light. He was concentrating very hard on something, while whispering some odd words. Then a column of light fell from the heavens as the three goddesses appeared in front of the old Sage.
"My greetings, my ladies," he said with a politely tone.
"Rauru, long time no see…" said a patient voice with a sincere smile.
"Lady Nayru, its pleasure to see you" responded the Sage. Then he continued, "my ladies we mortals need your help-…"
But he was interrupted by a fiery but kind voice, "we know sage… the 'hunter' is after his soul."
"Yes, but Lady Din, we don't know how to stop him…" replied the Sage.
"You don't have to worry too much about it," said a kind and soft voice, making the other three beings give her a quizzical look. "The princess of destiny will help him, along with the other sages.Besides, he is not going tobe not an easy prayfor the hunter, his courage won't let him fall into theabyss of the hunter's heart."
"Are you sure about that,Farore?" asked the Goddess of Power.
"Yep, sure enough."
"You're very confident about the whole situation," replied the Goddess of Wisdom making the Goddess of Courage to smile.
"But whywould the Shadow God kill him, if he knew the hunter can take his soul?" wondered Din. The other occupants just remained silent wondering why he do that.
"I… don't know…" sighed Farore, Nayru just remained silent.
"Maybe… he would guide him."
It was dark. She didn't know where she was, the coolness of the air just made her shiver. Looking around she tried to find something that could help her, butnothing.
She didn't know what to do. Suddenly she felt droplets that were falling from the apparent sky. She looked up, but it was just dark, but raining.
She wondered aloud, "Where I'm?"
"In the Zeith land," replied a metallic voice from behind her.
The girl panicked and looked around only to see a man that reminded her a lot of Link, but this figure scared her.
"Who are you? What do you want from me?" asked the panicked girl, he just smiled.
"Why do you fear me Princess…? I only want to help the young Hero of Time…"
Zelda changed drastically her mood to a curios one. "What? You know him?" she said this time much more confident.
"Yes I do, Sage of Time. You're the bearer of the Triforce of Wisdom,aren't you?"
The princess only nodded.
"It is just that he can't do this by himself…"
Suddenly the environment changed to a white one, making the girl to yelp.
"Death is beautiful isn't it? You can go whatever you pleasewithout worrying about anything… but that would be painful if it was not your time to die... but sometimes, you must dead to save yourself…" he said with a sad voice. Zelda remained silent, thinking about what he just said.
"But… when you are dead, you cannot come back, if you don't have a…" he searched for the right word, "support in the "real" world."
Then she remembered, he was the man that killed Link. This time furious, she yelled, "you're the one twho killed him! Why did you do that? Why did you took him from me!" She burst into tears, falling to her knees, the Deity just stared at her.
"Because I want to help him."
This made the girl to stop, looking right into his eyes she saw pain and agony. She felt horrible about the way she acted she just mumbled, "sorry."
The Deity just gave a brief smile, then his expression changed to one, this time, dead serious.
"You must guide him, through the land of the dead."
He turned to the environment in front of him. "This land changes depending of the soul… if he fails he will not come back." Then he turned to the confused princess. "You're his only hope, guide the power of the other sages to rescue him, my subordinate will help you."
Then she woke up.
To be continued…
AN: well that's it… maybe I exaggerated the way Zelda acts but if I didn't putted this way… maybe this chapter wouldn't be kind of sad. Well that's not the point I think it's short but maybe with the time it's size would increase and I can manage to learn a few more words…and to tell you the truth this is my first story… but anyway I hope you've enjoy it.
