CHAPTER ONE.
Almost eighteen years have passed since the last day of the "Darkness that Night Envied" or the "Battle of the Ages" or any of the many titles history has given the event. And that's just it, it is 'history' now, something that is taught in school as fact and a tad bit of fable.
Did the Hero really have a loyal Mare who would come from any great distance to aid him in his travels? Did he really have a fairy companion every step of the way? What was with all the green?
Its details like this that make Hyrule's young Princesses doubt the history books. But, if their big sister Zelda says it happened then it must have, she would never lie to them nor make up stories.
Zelda was more like a Mother to them than a sister since they never knew their real Mother and their beloved Father passed away several years ago. It doesn't really bother them much; Zelda is all the family they need.
Growing up in the castle is a very privileged life indeed, too privileged for some, so privileged in fact that it is driving our young Princesses crazy. They yearn to be outside the grounds walls amongst the rabble and common people. The Royal Guards and even the servants are so uptight and dull, save the Head of the Royal Guards that is.
The girls have always been told to refer to him as 'Sir' even though he is not that much older than their own sister and he is much too handsome to have a stuffy, stuck up title as 'Sir'.
Tall, broad and muscular the blond haired and blue eyed beauty is rugged and confident in a worn traveller's sort of way. He exudes this sense of purpose and power when he walks and his piercing stare causes ones heart to skip. Those eyes have seen many things, things that no one will ever know of, except of cause the Queen Zelda.
When in the castle walls he only speaks to Zelda. It is somewhat of a given rule that no one must engage him in conversation least they be subjected to an awkward silence.
This trait of his only deepens the admiration our Princesses hold for him. The 'Strong Silent' type if you will.

Now, I have found myself speaking of these three sisters and I have not even introduced them!
First born in to this world is Jade. Tall, lean and athletic with a head of earth brown hair she is the natural leader of the trio and enjoys it. Stern and slightly serious she has an aura of importance about her that rivals Zelda herself.
Given this she is very bossy (and quite a pain in the arse really), but it is all only to protect her sisters, whom need all the protection they can get.
Delivered three minutes after Jade is Ebony named after her full head of darkest black hair. Being the middle child she has become accustomed to being over looked. She really doesn't mind though, in fact she very much prefers it this way. Always keeping to herself she hardly speaks to anyone other than her sisters (something she likes to point out, makes her better suited to the Head of the Royal Guard than her two sisters). Although mild in appearance she holds a quick temper and can often be found having a tantrum over the smallest of issues, but that passion can also be used as a weapon against others if her sisters are at threat.
Arriving last a further three minutes after Ebony is Ivory, named as such for her blinding white hair and angelic pale complexion. Naïve, sweet and full of innocence nothing fazes this child. Some would call it ignorance her family call it purity (her birth sisters call it simplicity behind her back). Although she may seem a touch stupid and a tad slow she is kind in heart and soul and would do anything for those she loves and admires.
Now that we have the formalities out of the way we can get back to it.
