IMPORTANT!!: I hate this chapter personally, you might not. I don't like how I wrote it, I hate some of the stuff I wrote. I just don't like it. But you might not, so please when you review, please tell me what you like about it, what you don't like, and what I can improve on. And remember, "The Seven rule all, The Seven Control All."

The door creaked open as the young woman craned her neck around the corner. Her turquoise eyes narrowed as she stepped out into the long hallway of the Hyrule Castle. Her long, brown silky hair slipped over her shoulder. The pearl-white dress she wore had decorative designs from the chest down to her thigh. On both sleeves, there was the ancient symbol of Hyrule, the Triforce with wings under it. She slipped off her leather gloves and threw them off to the side.

This young woman was none other than Princess Zelda, bearer of the Triforce of Wisdom. She, along with the Hyrulian boy Link and the Gerudo king Ganondorf, was one of The Chosen Three. None of them chose this fate, The Seven did. The Seven ran everything. Zelda was fed up with having to put up with Ganondorf practically every day of her already miserable life. Luckily, she had Link to protect her.

"Excuse me..uhm..you there!" She shouted to one of the guards who was proceeding down the winding staircase.

"Hm? Oh, it's you Zelda. How may I be of service to you today?" The guard inquired, turning around and slowly heading back up the steps.

"Where did Daphnes leave to?" She asked.

"Oh, he went to Kakariko village to find Link." He explained.

"Oh dear...not again." She shook her head. She knew what The King was up to, she wanted Link to join his "army" only to kill him later.

"Eh? Something wrong Princess?" He walked in front of her.

"No..nothing at all. I'll be leaving. Have my horse ready." She quickly trotted down the stairwell without another word.

Link..please be safe.

"Now you see where I'm getting at boy? We have been fighting for far too long. And it's all because of this..." He showed Link the back of his left hand. The Triforce glowed brightly.

Link slowly looked down to his hand as The Triforce glowed as well. He brought his left hand up as well and nodded.

"Now..please. You must help me find Princess Zelda. With the three of us, we just might be able to stop this evil." He held his right hand out. "Are you with me on this?"

Link nodded once again and shook Ganondorfs hand.

They were once again Allies. But for how long?

"Daphnes..." Rinnes eyes glowed a crimson red as he brought himself up and shuffled towards The King.

The King stopped his fighting with the remainder of the bandits and shot a look at Rinne.

"How dare you refer to me by my name!?" He shouted. His eyes flickered into a crimson red, much like Tache's and Rinne's.

"Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule...come..join us..." Rinne mumbled.

"Heh..you too? Come then. Make me join you." He threw his hand out and motioned Rinne to continue towards him.

Rinne brought his left arm up and opened his hand.

"Don't even try it Rinne." He raised his sword as he grinned slightly.

Rinne brought his arm down. He kneeled down and picked up a bandits dagger. He held it like a theif would, one arm down to his side slightly and the other raised and cocked slightly, dagger point held towards Daphnes.

"Prepare yourself Daphnes! Now I will see how powerful you truly are!" He chuckled. He dashed towards The King, jumping to the side to avoid the tree placed in front of him. He flipped forward, the dagger poised to the side of him. Daphnes planted his feet on the ground and held his sword out in front of him. When Rinne came down, Daphnes swung his sword up, slicing Rinne's leg. Rinne fell to the ground with a loud THUD!

"Eghh! What the hell!?" Rinne shouted. He brought himself up, leaning against the tree.

"Come get some more!" Daphnes yelled, motioning Rinne towards him again.

Rinne cackled. "You really want some more old timer? Fine!" He closed his eyes and shifted his feet quickly, disappearing.

The King turned around, holding his sword in front of him, the golden blade seemed to twinkle in the dim sunlight.

"Where are you..." The King murmured. As if to answer this inquiry, Rinne reappeared in a swirl of leaves, striking The King in the back of the head. The King stumbled, and then tripped over Rinnes stuck out foot. He fell face first, The Blade going through his stomach.

"Aghh! Rinne...you...will...pay..for..destroying..your King.." With those last words, The King which had ruled and protected Hyrule for more than a millenia finally died at the hands of his second-in-command. His reign finally came to an end. Rinne--or, The Rook, almost felt sympathy for him. He shrugged it off and took the blade out of The King's stomach. The King's body sunk into the ground, leaving nothing behind.

"And so it is written, and so it shall be." Rinne cackled maniaclly and headed out of Kakariko Village.

Zora panted, Tache breathed heavily. They were both bloodied from their battle.

"You're a formidable foe Tache." Zora smirked.

"As are you Zora. Though I wanna know one thing.." Tache murmured.

"And what is this which you want to know?" Zora grasped his side.

Tache disappeared and quickly reappeared behind Zora, stabbing him in the abdomen.

"Why do Zora's not watch their backs?" He chuckled, releasing the sword. Blood dripped from the fresh wound.

"You...you..bastard..." Zora gasped and slid off the blade. His lifeless body slowly disintegrated into the ground.

"Two Kings down...one to go." He chuckled. "I'm coming for you Ganondorf.."

Koto danced along the treetops, his purple coat fluttering with the wind. Stopping for a second to think, Koto frowned.

"Where is that cave?" He spoke aloud. He flipped off the tree and landed on the ground, dust spiraling from his landing. He slowly rose up, his shoulder length dark red hair moving side to side. His calm, cool eyes scanned the area quickly. He brushed off his brown pants as he continued forward. His Jida crushed the dirt beneath.

A quick shuffle of footsteps alerted Koto. He dropped his left hand to his side, grabbing a handful of small needles out of his pocket. These were Sorins, mainly used for surgical operations, however, many assassins also used them, seeing as how they were deadly accurate.

"Who's there?" He yelled. He held his ground, searching the tufts of bushes, trying to spot some movement. A bush ruffled and something came out. It was round, grey in color. Small air-holes dotted the surface. It was around 3'' in height, probably weighing at least a pound. A green gas spilled out through the holes and creeped along the ground towards Koto.

"What the hell?" Koto mumbled. He still stood his ground.

The gas crept ever so closer towards Koto. And then, just as quickly as it came out, it was gone. Koto's expression was now one of confusion, something very rare for a mage like him.

Koto suddenly started to choke. He gripped his throat, dropping the Sorins. He stumbled forward, releasing one hand, as if to grab some air for him.

"D-damn...it.." He stuttered.

"Hehehehe, gotcha now Koto!" a high-pitched voice cackled out of thin-air. A figure seemed to literally step out of the air and onto the ground. It wasn't a human and it wasn't a monster. It's body glowed with white light, perhaps even golden. Covering its body was a cloak, which was also white. Something that resembled a halo floated above the beings head. Its "face" was a mask, similar to the Comedy & Tragedy used in the Olden Days. On the back, was a symbol which had a diamond surrounded by four smaller diamonds in each of the corners. This was the symbol for Fate. This being was One of The Seven. The Sage of Fate.

Koto was finally able to breathe. "W-what are you doing here? You damn...Seven...ugh!" He fell to his knees.

"Oh nothing really...just stopping your goal to warn Link of his Fate."

"Agh..why? You were the ones..who..gave him the Fate to stop evil. Now you want him to..die?"

"He has done his part. There is no need for him. We, The Seven, will retake this world, and make it as we see fit!" The Sage of Fate chuckled.

So you've turned too. Koto thought to himself. He blocked off his mind so not even The Seven can read it.

"You..forget..one thing...O' Great One..." Koto smirked.

"And what is that maggot?"

"I'm a mage, I can..escape..whenever..and..wherever I want to." Koto gave a weak laugh as his body faded into the wind.

The Sage of Fate cursed. "Damn, how couldn't have I seen that coming??" He snapped his fingers, teleporting back into The Realm of the Ancients. Back to The Seven.

Zelda doubled over in excruciating pain as she made her way out of Castle Town. Many people rushed to her aid, but she shook them off constantly saying "It's okay..just..some stomach pain.."

So she laid there, in pain and constantly mumbling the same sentence over and over again.

"The Seven rule all, The Seven control all.."
