Chapter one: Ten Years Later
Years had passed since the death of their mother, and since the end of the war. Peace had finally come over both sides of the kingdom. Brothers Link and Dark now worked on a corn farm that was also on the side of the mountain. The huge corn field had been cut into a maze like structure.
Dark had spoken, "Link, I'm going to get lessons from my new teacher. Do you think you can handle being alone?"
"Yeah, I think I can manage," Link said.
"Just don't get yourself into any trouble," Dark said.
"Heh, you either, Dark," Link said.
The two boys went separate ways, Dark to his teacher and Link to the temple just out side of the market.
Once inside of the temple, Link noticed two strange swords, one that glowed with light, and one that glowed with dark.
"Huh...I wonder where these came from...maybe Dark would be interested," Link said, he snatched up both swords and ran back to the corn field.
At the corn field, Link decided to leave the dark sword on the ground where he thought Dark could find it.
"Grandmother!" Link cried out.
No reply was heard in the huge field.
"Grandmother!" Link cried out again, this time he started running through the maze.
"GRANDMOTHER!" Link shrieked.
Suddenly, Link felt as though he was being watched. A cold wind whipped by him and chill bumps arose on his skin.
"Link?! Over her dear!" Link's grandmother had called out.
Quickly, a freezing cold hand reached out of the corn and grabbed Link's leg.
"GRANDMOTHER?! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Link cried out frightened, he ran trying to break free of the hand's grasp.
"Over here!" his grandma called from the other end of the field.
Link ran through the maze as quickly as he could towards her voice calling out as he went. The shadowy figure continued to chase him. Link finally reached the other end of the maze and the figure came out as well.
It turns out the figure was Dark. Nothing was too abnormal about him either. Long black hair, black tunic, red eyes...but there was a few things Link noticed that were different, he was holding the sword that Link left for him, on his left hand was a strange polished wooden ring, and his skin was as cold as ice.
"Dark...? Why are you so cold?!" Link asked.
Dark just glared off into the distance where their grandma and a fair maiden were walking towards them.
"Hello boys, have you ever met the princess?" the grandmother asked.
"No, I have not," Link bowed respectfully to the maiden.
"Please, don't bow to me..." the maiden spoke in a voice as beautiful as roses.
Link stood up. Dark did not move, he was still glaring at her.
"So boys, what would you like for lunch today?" the grandmother asked cheerfully.
"I want princess Zelda," Dark said.
The maiden stepped back, fearful of Dark.
"What do you mean by that?" the grandmother asked.
"I said, I want princess Zelda!" Dark said, he pulled out the sword Link had given him.
"You can't eat the maiden!" Link said, frantically he jumped in front of the girl and drew his sword.
The grandmother was shocked that her boys had swords. Then it was an all out battle of Link Vs. Dark.
"GET OUT OF HERE! TAKE THE PRINCESS TO SAFTEY!" Link cried out as he attempted to hold his brother back with his sword. The wooden ring on Dark's finger sparkled and then he disappeared.
Link stood in the clearing, breathing heavily. Then he quickly ran off to warn his grandma that Dark had escaped.
