Princess of Destiny

Setsuna and Negi emerged from the log that serves as an entrance to the Kokiri Forest. Walking a bit further they saw a magnificently vast field of green. "It's beautiful..." Negi said, "You never see something like this in Japan 'cuz, you know, overcrowded population and all..."

Setsuna ignored him. She had NO clue where any castle would be in such a vast area. At least it would stick out a bit... Setsuna thought. She decided to act, not think, "Enie meanie minie...over there! Let's go that way!" Setsuna pointed to the left.

"Setsuna-san, are you sure?"

"Yeah!" she said optimistically, "We've got nothing to lose!"

Eight hours later...

Somewhere in Hyrule Field lay a dehydrated Setsuna and a withered Negi. It was long past noon and the flies were getting curious, "Are you sure the castle's around here somewhere?" panted Negi.

Setsuna tried to sit up, but plopped on the ground instead, "I don't know anymore, sensei..."

"What should we do? I can't last much longer..."

"I'll think of something..." Nothing came to mind. Oh well, I tried, Setsuna thought. The last thing she saw before she passed out was a small figure running up to them.

Setsuna woke up when she felt something wet on her face, "Oh good! You're coming to!" A girl's voice!

Setsuna turned to the voice, "Where am I?" she croaked.

"You're in my cart. I was on my way to the castle town when I saw vultures pecking at two mounds of flesh. I took you into my cart and saved you."

"You saved me? Thank you very much. Wait-Negi-sensei?"

"Oh, you mean your fairy? I took care of him, too. I'm Malon by the way."

"I'm Setsuna."

Malon cocked her head to one side, "That's a silly name! I'm gonna call you Fairy Boy!"

"But I'm a girl!" but Malon went to tend to Negi. Every single time! How come nobody listens to me?

"So where are you headed?" Malon asked taking a cup of water from Negi.

"Hyrule Castle. Do you know where that is?"

"Yeah! I can take you there if you want. I was on my way there, anyway. You can rest some more."

"Really? You would do that for us?" Setsuna felt tears well up in her eyes, "Oh thank you! Thank you!" Setsuna felt so happy! This'll be a snap! Nothing else can possible go wrong!

Malon drove the cart to the bridge, "Okay, we're here!"

Setsuna jumped out of the cart, Negi floating by her head, "Thank you! We'll be on our way-"

"Hold it!" Malon interrupted, "I did you guys a huge favor by saving your butts. You have to return the favor!"

"Um, sure... What is it?" What just happened?

Malon suddenly looked sad, "My father went to the castle to deliver some milk. He runs the world famous Lon Lon Ranch, you know."

"Never heard of it," Negi said.

Malon glared, "Anyway... He hasn't returned in three days. Three LONG DAYS... I would come and get him myself, but I don't know where he could possibly be. He's probably taking a nap somewhere... Can you go find him?"

"Sure...we can help you out..."

"Oh thank you! Oh, almost forgot!" Malon pulled an egg out of her pocket, "Here ya go! I've been incubating this egg for a while, but I think you should keep it."

"Um...thanks?" Setsuna took the egg. This chick is getting weirder and weirder... Setsuna put the egg in her pocket and crossed the bridge.

"Oh wow! This town looks neat!" Negi said.

"Sensei...I think that you should lay low for a bit so you don't attract unwanted attention. Hide in my hat," Negi gave her a look, "What? I wash my hair." He gave her another look then flew under her hat. At least now it'll be quiet. She liked Negi and all, but sometimes he acts like a child and it gets on her nerves.

The castle town was busy with children playing, merchants selling their goods, and other people who just seemed to be having fun. Setsuna took her time checking the place out. A conversation caught her attention. "So you tried to sneak in the castle?"

"Yeah, I wanted to see the princess!"

The princess? Setsuna thought.

"I got past the guards, swam though the moat, I was almost there when I got stuck!"

"Stuck?" Setsuna asked. She needed to know more.

"Yea, little boy! There's a hole in the wall where water escapes. I couldn't fit, but I think someone your size could!"

"Yea. But because of this idiot they've tightened security around the castle! WAHAHAHAHA!"

That's okay. I'll get though anyway. Setsuna walked away from the Chuckle Buddy Twins and took the road leading to the castle.

The sun set a while ago. Setsuna snuck around the side of a cliff. She saw a gate guarded by a guard, I can't get by without being caught, she realized. An idea popped in her head. Setsuna felt around the cliff until she found what she was looking for, Ah ha! There's a rough patch here! Setsuna lifted her foot and it didn't slide off. Using her arms to keep steady, she put her other foot up and began to climb the cliff. Once at the top she poked her head up and checked if there were any guards around. There weren't, so she jumped up.

Setsuna looked around again and saw a guard on the other side of the gate. Setsuna jumped from the cliff and wound up on the other side of the gate. She ran past the guard and ran across the small field. All was going according to plan until she met a roadblock, a big one. A rather large man was blocking the way to the hole and even worse. He was sleeping.

"Really? REALLY?" Setsuna said under her breath, frustrated. Setsuna poked the man's back, "Um sir? Can you please move? Sir? Sir?" Setsuna had had enough, I AM AT MY BOILING POINT! Setsuna stepped back and delivered a powerful kick to his back. The man shot up like a soccer ball and slammed against the wall. Also like a soccer ball, he rolled back to her. It took all of her self control not to kick him eighty more times.

"Fine. Whatever. WHAT THE HELL EVER!"

Negi appeared from her hat. "Setsuna-san, calm down. Just wait for him to wake up! Sheesh! You'll wake up the whole neighborhood..."

And so Setsuna waited. And waited. And waited. Suddenly a rooster woke up Setsuna who had fallen asleep, "Awa, wha?" It was the chicken from the egg Malon had given her.

The sleeping man was on his feet looking around, "What in tarnation? Can a guy get a little shut-eye around here?"

"Oh good! You're awake!" Setsuna cheered.

"What's that? My daughter was looking for me? I messed up bad... Now she's gonna let me have it!" The man bolted out of there, leaving a trail of dust behind him.

With that obstacle behind, Setsuna crawled through the hole. Geh, this is a tight fit. Negi was waiting for her on the other side.

"Setsuna-san, be careful. There were a bunch of guards outside the castle. God knows how many are inside."

She nodded. She would have to use all of her stealth that she learned in the Shinmei School. This would be a snap for someone of her ability. For once the goddesses were on her side. She effortlessly avoided all of the guards and quickly ran into what seemed to be a courtyard.

She walked slowly to check out her surroundings. At the end of the courtyard there was a figure wearing a white dress. Is this the one I'm looking for? The princess of destiny? Setsuna walked closer to this person, "Um, excuse me?"

The person quickly turned to face her, startled, "Oh! Set-chan! You're here too?"

Setsuna's eyes popped out of their sockets, "Ojou-sama? You're the princess of destiny!"

Konoka giggled, "Yea, that's me!"

"But, but how?"

Konoka shrugged, "I don't know. The author told me."

"The who? Oh whatever! The Great Deku Tree told me to go to you and show you this." Setsuna took out the Spiritual Stone of the Forest from her pouch.

"It's pretty..." Suddenly Konoka had a far away look in her eyes, "I remember this in a dream... A light shone in the direction of the forest and there was a boy holding a green stone, followed by a fairy... But Set-chan! You don't have a fairy!"

Negi flew out from under Setsuna's hat, "No, but she has me! I think this world turned me into a fairy..."

Konoka squealed loudly and plucked Negi from the air, "NEGI-KUN! YOU'RE SOOOO CUTE!"

Setsuna ducked down, "Ojou-sama! Not so loud! I had to sneak in to find you."

"You snuck into a heavily guarded castle just to see me? Awww...Set-chan..."

"Who's that man?" Setsuna asked pointing at the window. There was a tall, sinister looking man in the window.

Konoka formed a disgusted look on her face, "I'm not sure… But I heard that he's the leader of the band of thieves who live in the desert. He swears allegiance to my father, but I can tell he's up to no good!"

Setsuna cocked her head to the side, "Your father?"

Konoka giggled again, "Oh, sorry! I kinda got caught up in the moment," She got serious again, "There are three Spiritual Stones: The Spiritual Stones of Forest, Fire, and Water. Find them all and come back here. That man is after none other than the Triforce! We can't let him have it!"

Setsuna was surprised at how much Konoka knew, "What's the Triforce?"

"The Triforce is the object the goddesses left us when they were finished creating this world. In the right hands, in the hands of one with a pure heart, there is peace. If the Triforce fell into the wrong hands, one with a dark, evil heart, then we are all doomed to have a painful and destructive end."

Setsuna's face turned white, "What can we do?"

"Well, I'm gonna stay here and protect the Ocarina of Time. He can't get to the Triforce without it. I'll do that while you go out into the dangers of the world, slaying monsters and other dangerous creatures, to find the other two Spiritual Stones." Once more she giggled, "It's easy!"

"WHAT? I have to do ALL that?"

"Yep! After all, you are the Hero of Time," Before Setsuna had a chance to ask what that was, Konoka pointed behind her, "My assistant, Impa, will escort you out."

At the entrance of the courtyard there was a mature looking woman who looked like she had been around the block a few times. Setsuna approached Impa and bowed her head, showing her respect for an elder.

Impa sweat dropped, "You know, I'm not that old..."

"Sorry..."

She smiled, "I am Impa. I know that neither of you belong to this world, but are going to play a huge and important role to save it."

Setsuna's eyes grew wide, "How did you know?"

"Well, when I saw that girl in Zelda's bed instead of Zelda, I knew something was up!" Impa laughed. Setsuna sweat dropped, "It's my role to teach you this song. I've played this song for Zelda ever since she was a baby. It can basically get you anywhere!" Impa knelt down and plucked a blade of grass from the ground. She held it to her mouth and blew. The grass made a pleasant sounding whistle. The song calmed Setsuna, making her feel sleepy, "Now, repeat that song."

Setsuna took out the Fairy Ocarina that Saria had given her and repeated the song. Impa clapped for her when she was finished, "There you go, Zelda's Lullaby."

"Um...thanks, but who's Zelda?"

"Now, let's get you out of here before the guards catch you." Impa led Setsuna out of the castle and left her in front of the Castle Market, "We have to protect this beautiful land of Hyrule. In my village, Kakariko Village, there is a trail that goes up to Death Mountain. That's where the next Spiritual Stone is, "Impa smacked Setsuna's butt. Setsuna yelped and jumped a foot, "All right! We're counting on you!" Impa stepped back and disappeared with a flash with the aid of a Deku Nut.

Setsuna rubbed her behind, "Oww..."

"So, Death Mountain, huh?" Negi said, fear in his voice, but clenched his fists "Let's do this thing!"

"I hear you, Sensei." Setsuna said. She knew what she had to do now. She had to help protect this new, strange world. Suddenly, something flashed before her eyes. She felt someone hit her behind her neck. As she went down the last thing she heard was Negi's muffled screams. Setsuna hit the ground and blacked out.

End

So, what do you think? I've always imagined Impa smacking Link's butt at that point, you know, pep talk. X3 More is coming soon so keep watch for it and for my other stories as well.
