Chapter Five

Twilight

"Father, I'm going out." Zelda call into her father's room.

"Alright, be careful now." Came the sharp reply. Zelda smiled, her father was up, yes, but had fallen sick, caught the cold, in the cool winter days.

Snow just barely covered the ground as Zelda and Sandstorm, her horse, galloped out of the castle and market into the open fields of Hyrule. The snow was still falling as she veered to the lakeside, hoping to capture some of the fresh, lake air. Her hope was taken away when something frightens her horse. With wild call, Zelda fell off her horse as he scampered away from her. Struggling to her feet, she looks around to find what scared off her horse. Panting, she sees nothing unusual. As she starts to wander around, looking for her horse, her gut tells her something is not right. Something off to her left grabs her, and with an unheard scream, and she was dragged to who knows where.

When she awoke, she was facedown on the floor. Pushing herself up onto her forearms, Zelda takes a quick look around. She did not know where she was located. Climbing up onto tired legs, she walked slowly over to the window. It was like feeling déjà vu as memories of her dream came back in a hurry.

Outside was a world of black and white with creatures that were lost and confuse. Some of the creatures practically herded the others into the castle she herself was trapped in. she turned to the sound of a door opening and footsteps walking over to her, but she doesn't face her visitor.

"I see that you are awake." Its distorted voice said.

"Where am I?" Zelda asks softly, returning to staring out the window

"Your are in Hyrule's Twilight Realm." The creature said with a snicker in its voice.

"Twilight?" Zelda echoed.

"Heh, Heh, Heh, that's right, Twilight." The creature certified, "Not even I know why its here, but some people are creatures, such as I, and others take the form of animals."

"And, is there anyway out of here?" she asked.

"Only if you leave Hyrule, do you leave Twilight." It said, "A hero might emerge, might not, depends on the courage the lad might have."

"Like the Hero of Time, to take down the evil King, Ganondorf." Zelda said, "He was courageous enough to hold the Triforce of Courage."

"You know your history."

"Only because he is one of my ancestors." Zelda admitted sheepishly.

"Well, I will leave you be to ponder upon your thoughts, for that is all the action you will be able to achieve." The creature said, then left the room.

Zelda looked down upon her hands, hidden by her cloak. If people change upon entering this realm, how come… I'm still human? Zelda asks herself as she looked outside.

With a lost of time, Zelda continue to sit, sleep, or stare out the window. This day was no different as she glared out angrily. She wanted to know who was sending these people, evil or innocent, into this realm. Her right hand grazed her sword hilt and her mind instantly calmed. She gave a heavy sigh when she heard the door open. Startled, she turned slightly, expecting it to be the strange creature that often visited her, but movement stopped upon entrance, so she risked a full turn and looked at her visitors. One was a wolf, and the other was a strange being with perhaps the only color in the black and white world.

"Forgive our intruding, but I do hope you are not the one calling the shots around the place." He said, worry in his tone.

"Would I be trapped up here for who knows how long staring out the window for countless hours with nothing to do?" she asked

"Alright, catch the drift." The creature said.

"Do either of you know what is going on?" Zelda asked gently.

The creature seemed to look at the wolf for a minute, before turning back to her. "My buddy here says the all of Hyrule is trapped in the Twilight, as you know, and where he's from is still untouched, like all of the other places he has visited." He said, "goes way out to escape this place to try and find a way to reverse the effect, since he was chosen to go to Hyrule summit, where ever that is."

"Really?" Zelda asked, surprised.

"Yeah." The creature said, and the wolf also nodded.

"Well, best of luck to both of you, and find me as soon as you found a way to rid this awful place." Zelda walked over to the wolf and bent down, "Promise me that?"

The wolf looked right into her eyes, as if trying to memorized what little face is seen. With a nod, both the creature and the beast headed for the door.

"I've notice, a creature who often visits, I suggest you find a way to kill him, he is up to no good."

Patting her sword, Zelda smiled, "Don't worry about me, he'll be dead." she said, and the two critters nodded and left. She walked back over to the window and looked out. She knew that the time left for this place was limited, and that made her smile.

It was a least an hour before her visitor returned, taking his place next to her on her left side. Neither spoke for a few minutes as Zelda thought of the best way to tackle her situation. The Creature with the wolf said she had to take care of him soon. An idea popped in her head.

"Why do you keep visiting me?" she asked calmly.

"Dunno, seems like I'm safe here, I guess." It said.

"No big plans for anything? You don't have to keep it a secret." But it could cost you your life. She thought as an afterthought.

"Hmm, I guess it would be alright to tell you." The creature said, "once I have stabilized Hyrule in the twilight, I plan on reaching out to get the rest of the world."

"Why place the world in Twilight?" Zelda almost sounded demanding.

"Because then I will have control over people, instead of people controlling me." It roared.

Zelda now faced him, her sword behind his neck. The creature could not see into her hood, but he didn't seem too happy with the sword. With a swift movement, it backed away and drew its own sword. Zelda bit her lip, wondering if she had enough skill to outpace this creature.

It seemed impatient as it suddenly charged forward. The skill she had memorized to her heart came back in a whisk, and she was quick on her feet to avoid the attack. With the move, she was set up for a parry, which she quickly executed to damage the creature. It roared in pain, and glared at her. It was surprised that she didn't look the least bit fazed. Zelda slowly walked forward, watching the creature's moves and not flinching herself. It charged at her again, it's sword moving so fast she barely had time to block it. The creature's sword sliced right through her sword, cutting the sword in half. She can only gasp out as the broken blade hit the ground. With determined eyes, she walked over and picked up the blade and put it in her sheath, being careful not to cut herself. With what little blade was left on her hilt, she raced forward and jabbed her sword to where the creature's heart should be. It wailed as she pushed her broken blade deeper into it's dark, non-existent skin. When she pulled the sword out, the thing collapsed to the floor. With a dishearten sigh, Zelda sheathed the rest of her sword and walked out of her imprisonment.

Moving quickly through the halls, Zelda attempted to find her way out. The hallways were all-confusing and gave her a headache. The creature that was on the wolf's back that she met earlier seem to appear out of nowhere, and was surprised to see her there.

"Take it you got him?" he said

"My sword is totaled, but yes, I got him." Zelda said, then sighed, "Just how am I suppose to get out of this place?"

"Follow me, and be quick about it." The creature said, then started off. Zelda followed. "I'm going to take you outside, hopefully where you were before you came here in Hyrule."

"Don't ask me, I woke up in this place." Zelda said.

"Do you remember where you were in Hyrule, and not twilight?

"I believe the southwest side of the ranch." Zelda said, panting slightly. How badly she wanted to see the lake, but she knew time had also passed on Hyrule, and she needed to get home as soon as possible.

The creature nodded as he lead her through the black and white lands of twilight Hyrule. He then came to a stop, causing Zelda to stumble slightly. He looked at her and smiled.

"Good luck, Zelda" he said, before everything vanished into a black nothingness. Zelda stares around, looking for something, but in a blink she was unconscious on the ground.
