After all the citizens had returned, one particular noble family decided to get away from it all and go on vacation to the beach. They took with them their 2 year old son. For days, the family sat on the beach, swam in the sea and just enjoyed themselves, but because of the attacks, guards regularly patrolled the area.
One night, as the mother was preparing dinner, the door to their cottage was kicked down. She screamed at the unexpected noise. Meanwhile, the father and son were on the beach collecting shells to present to the woman of the house. Upon hearing the scream come from the house, the father grabbed his son and ran to see what the commotion was.
When he reached the door, he told his young son to stay outside and be quiet. Thankfully the boy obeyed and the father carefully entered. Little did he know, seven of Shitsuya's stragglers were in the cottage waiting to kill anyone who so much as happened to wander in. the father reached the kitchen and was instantly knocked down. Hands grabbed him and ropes found his wrists.
"Who are you!?" the father demanded.
"We are of Termina's army and you are tonight's entertainment." One man said with a humorless grin. The father looked around the room. "Your wife didn't last very long I'm afraid. But not to worry, you'll meet her soon enough." he said.
The men proceeded to pummel him. They tortured him and left him for dead. His father's screams struck fear in the toddler. He hid in a small sand dune and cried softly. Finally, he could take it no more and ran in to see his father. The sight of his mother lying dead on the floor and his father badly beaten lead the boy to cry in sorrow.
Later, as a few Hylian troops were making their rounds, the sound of the boy crying and the moans of pain from the house alerted them that something was amiss. They unsheathed their swords and carefully entered the house. They searched each of the rooms. And when they entered the kitchen, they found the boy and his dying father. They began to untie the ropes that bound him.
"Who did this?" the leader of the Hylians asked.
"They were from Termina." he said with difficulty. "Addryan, my son… keep him safe." he said then died.
"Daddy!" Addryan yelled and ran over to his father.
"I'm sorry," the commander said, "but your daddy's gone." he put his hand around the sobbing boys shoulder.
"They're both gone. What do we do about the kid, sir?" one of his men asked.
"We'll take him with us for now, then when we get to Hyrule city we'll see if he has any family to take him in."
"That poor boy," the soldier said quietly. They exited the house and left for Hyrule City.

Ganondorf and Shitsuya had just arrived in Termina and were headed to the castle that they had built there. When they reached the great doors that led inside, they were greeted by a combination of human troops and Ganondorf's minions.
They walked into Shitsuya's quarters and set the baby down. Ganondorf took a seat in a nearby chair while Shitsuya poured a drink. "What do we call this little brat, anyway? I don't understand why you want her to assassinate him, we have plenty of skilled warriors to do the job." Shitsuya said.
"I told you before, I want her kill everyone close to him then I want her to bring me his head." Ganondorf said.
"You do know that it will take years for her to grow up and learn the techniques to do that, right?"
"I'm willing to wait. And besides, we have plenty of other lands to conquer for the time being." Ganondorf replied with a smile. "Now as for a name," he began. "I want something that's unexpected and doesn't give away the fact the she's female. I want her father to feel a pain so devastating that it hurts him worse than her weapons slicing through his flesh."
Shitsuya walked over to Ganondorf with their drinks. "I think I have the perfect name." he said. "There was once an Ikana warrior who defeated every enemy he ever came across. They said that he was better than the Four Giants themselves." Shitsuya took a seat. "His name was Maximus."
"I like the sound of it. Maximus it is then." Ganondorf stared him in the eye. "She is your responsibility. You are to raise her as your daughter. If anything happens to her and my plans are ruined, I will personally execute you. Do I make myself clear?" Maximus started to cry.
"Yes. Quite."
