I do not own any of the legend of Zelda characters, I only own the story line and created characters. Enjoy and review please

Last time on LOZ Expanding the Triforce:

The creatures were never there for the goats; they took out the most dangerous target and ignored the cattle. The Bokoblins had a formation that they followed and had managed to surround Colin and myself without a glitch. If it wasn't for Link showing up when he did Colin and I would have been dead.

"We can't allow that girl to stay; she is drawing monsters here left and right."

"But we can't just leave her to rot, and she was protecting the children with her own life. How many strangers do that?"

"Link does it all the time and he doesn't draw monsters, let alone monsters that are trained warriors."

"There is something odd about Electra also, the cloths she wears and her music device. She probably not even from here, we can't trust people who hides things."

"Have we even asked her about these things?"

In my world this place is just a video game nothing more.

"Wait, how do you plan on getting home?" Link asked with concern.

"What does that matter," I answered and shook off his hand. "I am a stranger, in a world that I was not born in, I am not to be trusted and nor shall I trust its dwellers."

With that I walked out the door slamming it closed behind me and walked off back to the house in the tree.

"I'm a loner so I don't need or want help."

In the old bunker just outside of Kingston

The room building was vibrating with the movement of the machine Mickey was working on. He had been working on it since supper after he had given his guests a tour of the building and showed them their rooms that they had went to about three hours ago. That was about one in the morning.

"Mickey's ridiculous; he has been working on that thing since seven last night." Lucia complained in a bed across from Officer Don Ends' bed in the opposite side of the room.

"Yeah he is." The distressed father replied. "But he is going to help us get my daughter back so that's all that matters right now, I suppose."

"Yeah and have his enormous ego shoot to the moon."

Don chuckled. "Probably, by the way why are you still up?"

"Why is your daughter a loner?" Lucia asked completely changing the subject.

There was silence for a while with the weird laughter hidden within the vibrations. Don sighed like this conversation might not end so well, but decided to share his reason. "She often works on police cases with me and my team, which those cases tend to go down dark alleyways."

"What kind of cases?"

"The ones that have buddies outside of jail and threaten her existence and anyone found close by."

"So she stays out of sight and out of mind so that they are safe from the wrath of the evil and wicked?"

"That's pretty much it … but even with that I have a feeling she doesn't get close to anyone because she doesn't want help from others. With a flaw like that it is also her biggest gain."

"How is being a completely loner and not wanting help from others a gain in life?"

"What other better way to survive if you only have yourself to trust and worry about. Also learn from mistakes if you have no one watching over your every move to criticize it. She can and has gain ways to protect herself, build weapons if necessary and learn the many aspects of our species."

"By species you mean humanity as a whole or each individual part?" Lucia questioned with high curiosity.

"Both, why do you think she hasn't got herself killed because of the work she does. As much as a father who tries to protect his daughter from; he can't surveillance every minute of her life. Along with the cases we have done together for all I know she has probably helped herself to some of the unsolved ones and solved them on her own in her spare time."

"Have I mentioned your daughter being insane?"

"You might have."

"Well she is and also," Lucia turned towards the wall. "If she has gained that much knowledge, you should know that she is probably fine."

"You are probably right, but I still have an uneasy feeling that she is emotionally hurt and that fact I can't be with her."

"Officer, go to sleep before you exhausted yourself in grief. I'm no psychiatrist-"

"Thank God."

"But," Lucia continued. "Even a teenager knows that people need sleep in order for them to function… just a simple human quality."

Don said nothing as he continued to look up at the ceiling of the bunker. He knew Lucia was right, but something didn't seem right about Mickey. He couldn't put his finger on what it was. Maybe he was just feeling uncomfortable about being in an old bunker with the room vibrating. Or it could have been that Mickey seemed like one of those mad scientists mixed with a computer geek and he had never been around such a person before. Or it could have been that Mickey was not who he said he was. Whatever the answer to his queasiness was, Don didn't get to find out as exhaustion overwhelmed his conscious.

Dawn~ Link's House just outside the Ordon Village

Nightmares of a voice in the darkness haunted my sleep. I woke up to the early morning with every intention of leaving as soon as I could when something fell to the floor. Picking it up I noticed it was the piccolo from Malo.

"I did promise that kid didn't I?" I sighed and looked up at the light stream coming from the top window. "Well it's about dawn, so I suppose I could make up a song on this 'Magical Piccolo' before I leave."

I got out of the makeshift bed and folded everything then placed it out of the way by the ladder that headed down to their original place. I grabbed my bag and made sure everything was in it and placed it on my back. I picked up the piccolo again and headed out the door. The sun was barely up when I started down the ladder thinking on where I should head off to. There was the Ordon Spring or there were the platforms that jutted out of the land heading towards the cliffs beside the village and behind the ranch. I decided to head to the rock platforms where Malo could see me as well as me getting out of the village ASAP. Quietly I walked into the silent village half expecting the Ordon theme music to come on, luckily it didn't.

I climbed the vines that I was on the day before and jumped to the farthest of odd shaped platform. I took off my bag and sat facing the ravine in the distance and looked at the strange instrument that looked like a recorder.

"Well this can't be too hard to play to the piccolo I have." I told myself to settle my nerves. I wasn't sure why, but my heart started to race and I felt nervous, which isn't normal for me at all.

I brought the piccolo to my lips and played a normal G then played a scale all the way to the high G and then back all the way down to the lowest G that could be played skinning the Bass Clef. Feeling a bit more relaxed with the piccolo's setup; I decided to play a simple tune that any beginner would have to play, La Clare du la Lune.

~dadada da daaa da d-da dada daa~

I looked at the wind instrument in surprise. It seemed so strange, but really beautiful at the same time. "I wonder if this is what Malo meant by it being magic, it was so clear sounding and it makes it seem so natural and pure?"

"It might be, or there could be something more to it." A male voice answered behind me.

I turned and saw the boy in green. Then I became annoyed that he had followed me, but then again what goes around comes around. "What are you doing here?" I grumbled turning back to the ravine.

"Curiosity is probably the best answer I can think of." Link replied sheepishly.

I didn't answer and notice him sit down beside me. We sat in silence listening to the trickling of the water below.

"So what does curiosity need to ask me today?" I asked breaking the silence that I almost didn't what to break, almost.

"You said something yesterday to the villagers that's been stuck to my mind, but you left before I could ask for an explanation."

"An explanation about what? I said quite a few things last night at that meeting."

"It might seem a little strange," Link said shifting uncomfortably. "But you said in each of these games or legends there were two characters that were always in them and they were always named Zelda and Link, why is there is there a Link and a Zelda when there is some sort of danger?"

I looked at Link to see curiosity in those mysterious eyes. He looked up from the water and regret started to form over the curiosity seeing something in my remembering face. I looked away not being able to tell the story to his face.

"Well in this world it was many, many eras ago, when the Sky Goddess saved the people of the earth from the wrath of an evil, but powerful man named Demise. The goddess managed to seal the terrible man away that wanted to Triforce that the old gods had created to control the world, but at a lengthy cost. She had not been able to fully destroy the man and knew that he would rise again to threaten the world, so she created a plan. A chosen hero would be born to defeat the demon each time he started to rise and when ready defeat the foul fiend. He was also part of her second part of the plan, to be reborn as a human." I started. "When everything was set it started to play out, Link being the Goddess's hero and the Goddess herself being Zelda set out on a journey to complete their paths to becoming who they needed to be in order to save the earth and Skyloft from Demise. Link had to go through trials, and tasks in order to gain the pieces of the Triforce and complete them. He also had to find the tools needed to create the Master Sword. Zelda had to go through temples to regain her memories of being the goddess. In the end there was a battle against the awaken Demise and Link and just before Demise died he cursed on the goddess and the hero that in the future generations to come his wrath will be there to make each new reincarnation suffer and attempt to kill them." Link sat in silence so I continued with the last little bit. "So far Demise's curse hasn't killed a female demigod or her hero in the eras they were born in."

There was silence again with only the water trickling and a faint breeze blowing through our hair. I looked back up Link and saw him studying me with determination, which made me feel uncomfortable. I'm the one who studies humans not they study me.

"Is that the reason why that you were brought here from wherever you came from?" Link final asked.

"I don't have any idea; all I hope for is that the person who is after me is a loser and then it can bring me back home to get rid of any scums that are living there." I sighed looking back at the piccolo.

"You said your father was a police officer; a knight of some sort, shouldn't you leave those jobs up to him?"

"His life is always on the line, every day when he straps on that gun onto the side of his hip-"

"Gun, you mean like the ones with lasers? I went to this weird game thing a Super Smash competition, something like that they had guns like those … that thing turned out to be a complete nightmare."

I smirked, remembering one of my favorite games. "Not quite that big of a weapon. It's a simple 32 caliber gun that any other police officer uses in Kingston. If I had my little weapon I would show you but it's at home with the rest of my equipment."

"So your father has a gun to his hip every day," Link stated like he wanted me to continue.

"Every time he leaves I worry that it will be the last time I see him walk through the door and one day about ten years ago, he was in a hit and run chase with a driver that was trafficking drugs and was shot, in the process. He didn't come home that night or for the following five weeks, because he was placed in a coma. When that incident occurred, I knew that I couldn't just stand by and watch my father put his life on the line for the rest of the city by himself. In responds to him getting out of the hospital I help him on his cases from then on."

"And how old were you then?" Link asked in curiosity.

"I was seven then." I responded lightly while playing with the keys on the instrument.

"How old are you now?"

"Well if the time is in sync here as it is at home making today March 1st, I'll be eighteen in four days from now." I sighed. "And I'll be graduating this year from school too."

"Isn't that a good thing though, graduating from one thing to advance into another?" Link questioned.

"I suppose it would be, but then again I not sure where I want to go afterwards. A journey in my world lasts only your childhood then once your done high school you go into a world of just plain work, there isn't much of anything to do. Sure for certain areas there is something new every day, but in the end it is a repeating cycle that has been there for a really long time and simply I don't want to be a part of that trampled road."

"So I'm guessing when you showed up here you found this place different and you forgot about the things that you know and didn't know and just acted out of instinct creating serious injuries that are not healed."

"I'm not that careless…" I started then saw the look in Link's eyes that made me stop. "Okay I may have be a little excited, a bullet can travel approximately 668km per second, but the only thing that you're going to be using such a weapon would be hunting or against the many enemies of the world. When I got here something made my heart beat in my ears and a purpose to finding out where I belong that I never had at home. A sword is another exception it gives you a close combat situation and allows you to study your opponent moves and calculates your own."

"You sound like a knight, though on the other hand some of the knights in Hyrule are pretty lame. They don't like the fact of having the rush of adrenalin in a battle for what you stand for." Link grinned slightly as he made fun of the knights, but seemed to remembering his own adventure.

"Well, I guess I should think up some sort of tune for Malo, but I'm not sure how or why a wild horse is going to come galloping into the village if it hears it."

"I think it would be easier if you had some sort of song that you could just place notes to instead of making up one."

I thought about that for a moment, there were a lot of songs that I knew from the radio and my iPod, but those would take hours of actually listening to them in order to figure out how to play on the instrument. There were the intros of a few songs I knew of, so I though about using those.

"There are a few song intros I know that I can play on this instrument. Though I'm not sure which one?"

"Play the one your most comfortable with."

"You seem very helpful and comforting towards someone you don't trust."

"You seem very open and trusting towards someone you don't trust." Link retorted with another grin.

"You know in the game that I have at home you don't seem all that cocky to how you are now." I observed.

"You seem to have that affect for me to keep within the same level of conversation so I'm not left to drown." He responded just as equally to my conclusion. "Now what song intro do you know that could possible bring a wild horse into the middle of a village."

I thought instantly of Epona's song off of Ocarina of Time and placed the instrument. I played the song and sure enough a mare trolls right in after the second round of the song. Link stood up and looked at the horse.

Link started to laugh in humor and amazement. "Well you got the horse part down, now all you need is a tune that isn't something Epona will come running for."

"It was a test," I admitted and another brilliant thought or I suppose question for the teen in green. "Would it be easier for me to gain a horse if I play something that is more connected to my lifestyle as well as a horse?"

"I guess so. If I were a horse looking for a friend and/or master I would probably look for someone that is easier to connect with then left in the shadows." Link answered jumping down from the ledge.

I smiled in amusement turning back to the water. "Well I have the perfect song then."

"Good because I hear that you are leaving soon and you can't get around very far or fast without a horse." A mumble came from the ground where Link had just landed.

I stood up from my seat and jumped down to stand in front of a kid, "Good morning to you too, Malo."

"Good morning, so are you prepared?" Malo asked.

"As good as I can get with the property that I have." I replied simply. I didn't want to give away any doubts that I had about the useless stuff in my bag and the fact of not having any sort of change of clothes or a weapon to defend myself… not including the heavy bag.

"Well Colin has something for you anyway." Malo told me, but I shook my head.

"No it's fine, I should be heading out anyway, and so I'll play your song and see what happens." I answered and stuck the instrument into my mouth and played the main part of Beer for my Horses by Toby Keith. It seemed rather fitting for it has to do law enforcement and well there is horses in it.

This seemed to bring everyone out of their homes and into the middle of town for Colin's family who were probably too far away to actually hear the song version on the piccolo. I played it twice like Epona's song sort of repeats itself then I stopped and waited in silence for a sound of hooves. All I got though was the sound of Epona's approval with a whine.

"Sorry Malo, I don't think there is a horse coming for the music so here." I sighed and gave back the instrument and had the sudden urge to leave the place like I had this morning. "I got to get going now."

I turned away from the group that had gathered and started towards the exit. It seemed like a very long walk and at the same time I felt something was very wrong about this little walk out. There was a tiny breeze that shifted my hair and I knew it wasn't in sync with the breeze that was already blowing. Before I could move there was a much taller person behind me with one arm over my right shoulder, across my chest and holding onto my left shoulder. I was petrified with a wave of something sinister that some of the craziest, bad people I had faced couldn't even pull off making my skin crawl.

"Welcome to Hyrule, Themis of the Triforce." The man behind me said. He spun me around and before I could even breathe another breath his mouth was on mine.

What is the world just happened? Review please and thank you.
