Chapter 2
Attack on Outset Island
A breeze blew Link's hair everywhere. He was standing on top of a watchtower, gazing at the night sky.
Link sighed. He breathed in the welcoming, cool night air. Link heard footsteps approaching him. Link turned around to see his sister, Aryll, join him.
"Happy almost birthday!" she exclaimed.
"Thanks," Link muttered.
"Hey, Aryll, can I talk to you about something?"
"Sure," Aryll replied.
"Lately, I've been feeling a lot of pressure. I feel like I was given an important task but I have no idea what it is," Link said.
After an uncomfortable silence, Aryll finally replied.
"Well," she began. "I think you're just stressed out because it's your birthday tomorrow. Or maybe you're losing it."
"I think it's the second choice," Link said and laughed.
Aryll came over and lay down next to him. Link slowly closed his eyes. With only the moon, the stars, and Aryll as company, he slowly drifted to sleep.

THUD!
The watchtower shook at a tremendous rate. Link opened his eye and found himself hanging on the banister of the watchtower. It seemed as if the island itself was shaking too; the trees and houses were shaking violently too.
Link looked up and saw a giant shadow levitating above the island. His hands were slipping! It hurt to hold on.
His heart skipped a beat as he was thrown off the banister. Link screamed. He landed on the beach. Hard. He shook off the sand in his hair. But what froze him was the sight of an unconscious Aryll in front of him. Aryll was not moving, and possibly not breathing…
Link jumped up and ran beside her. No Aryll he thought. This isn't happening…
"ARYLL!" he sobbed. "ARYLL! NO…" The sound of a roar cut him off. The sound of it nearly made him deaf. He tumbled into the water.
Get out of my body…AAAAGGGGHHHH!
Link gasped for air as he regained the ability to hear and breathe. He staggered out of the water and headed for Aryll. His clothes were drenched from the water.
The shadow over Outset Island became smaller and smaller until it only covered the shore. A great beast landed on the beach with a giant THUD! Link and Aryll were forced a few yards away because of the beast's impact with the beach.
The unconscious Aryll lay on the top of Link as he tried to recover from the attack. Link looked up at the beast. He soon regonized it as a dragon. It's color filled the blackness of the night with light.
The creature scooped up Link and Aryll up with one of its front claws. It leaped into the night sky and soared into the darkness.
