Link cringed in pain.

"L--Link! What's Wrong?!" Ilia shouted in worry, and confusion as to what was happening.

Link simply grunted, as the light intensified, and a screeching noise filled the house.

Link let out a full fledged scream, and threw his head back, before his world went black.

When Link opened his eyes, he was in a white space, nothing but white around him. He got up, with a grunt, and realized he had his Ordan Sword and Hyrulian Shield on.

He looked around, and saw a figure in the distance.

It had a skintight jumpsuit on, and had what resembled an eye with a tear on it, printed on said jumpsuit, in what appeared to be blood.The jumpsuit itself was blue, with grey in certain parts. The figure had bandages wrapped around it's face, as if to conceal it's identity, and had parts of blonde hair were sticking out of the top. Link barely saw it's red eyes in the distance.

The figure approached, and Link took a battle position.

"Do not be alarmed chosen Hero..." The figure's voice came out smooth, in a soothing way, and told Link that the figure was friendly. Link cautiously put away his sword.

The figure approached, and looked Link up and down. "You do look like the hero... " Link noted the voice sounded feminine.

The figure looked to of smiled behind the bandages. "Sheik..." The figure said, outstretching it's hand.

Link did the same, the tension broken.

"I have brought you here for a reason... I am not of the time period which you know. I am of a time period that is in danger of being destroyed, for you see, the chosen hero of our time while valiant in his efforts, is not old enough to yet wield the Master sword, and be the chosen hero. This would normally not present a problem, but... we held him for seven years, but... the hero did not rise...he had died during the seven year period."

Link nodded, understandingly.

"This presents a problem... we need you to stand in for said hero..."

Link nodded.

"But beware, chosen hero of Nature... for every 24 hours you spend in our time, 12 hours will have passed here in your time..."

Link stopped.

Sheik looked understanding. "The girl..."

Link looked sad.

Sheik pulled the bandages down and smiled. "Just trust me..."

Something in Sheik's eyes, and the way she spoke reassured Link.

"Chosen hero... Are you ready?" Sheik almost announced.

Link gulped, and made sure he had everything he needed.

Sheik spoke once more. "If I recall correctly, you were accompanied by a Twili, correct?"

Link nodded, readjusting his Tunic.

"Well, then you are familiar with a partner sort of system?"

Link nodded once again.

"Good, everything else should be familiar to you. I am going to send you to the chamber of the sages now... May the goddesses be with you..."

Link felt a surge of blue light around him, and he saw a crystal form around him. He felt himself lifted from the ground.

"Good luck!" Sheik called out.

Link closed his eyes, and felt his world go black...
