Chapter 4- Princess Zelda
The sun was rising into the sky and the birds were singing joyfully. Hyrule field was quiet and tranquil; not many creatures were stirring this early. But this was not what Link was gazing at. His wide eyes were fixated onto Hyrule Castle, which was engulfed in flames.
--------------------------------
Even though the trip took a couple minutes, it seemed an eternity before Link reached the drawbridge. He was lucky, the drawbridge was still open.
"Wait, why would the drawbridge be open in the midst of a crisis like this," thought Link.
But he shook it off. He had more important things to worry about. He ran inside to the marketplace and wasn't at all surprised to see it empty at this time of day. The villagers were all probably still asleep, he thought. He continued on through the marketplace and towards Hyrule Castle. He dashed through the main gate and up to the castle. He still couldn't believe it, Hyrule Castle was on fire! And Princess Zelda could be in…no, he couldn't think of that. She was fine, and he was going to find her to figure out this horrible mess.
The flames were too intense for Link to get to close, but luckily he brought his Goron tunic. He put it on, and dove through the flames. Since the main door was closed, he went in the same way he went every time; the secret entrance on the side of the building. There were no guards inside, and but at least the fire hadn't spread to where he was. That meant there was hope for the people inside.
He made his way to the courtyard, and standing there in the middle was Princess Zelda. She was cowering behind a shield used by the royal guard as one of the monsters from the forest attacked her.
"Great. At least there's only one of them," Link said as he unsheathed he sword. "Ok, here I GO!!" he yelled as he charged the creature.
The creature turned and looked blankly, then swept Link aside with one hand. Link hit the wall, hard. That wasn't going to stop him though. He got up and charged it once more. This time, he struck a hit. The creature gave an ear-splitting shriek and fell, but it did not get up again. Link panted and put his sword away, then walked over to Zelda.
"Zelda, what's going on? What was that? Where is everyone? Why is the castle on fire?!?"
"I…I…well, the fire won't reach us here; I'll explain that later, but first I better start with the beginning…"
A/N: Ooooo! What's going to happen next? That's all you're getting for now, but where are these creatures coming from? Where's everyone else? Will I be able to think of a good enough answer in my next chapter? Stay tuned. Thanks for the reviews, I think it's going good so far. And I might be stealing your cliffhanger endings t3hc00ki3m0nst3r…just kidding, I love you.
