The Darkest Legend of Hyrule by Redpaige13

[redpaige]

The greatest legend ever told in the lands of Hyrule were of the battles of Gannon and the hero of Time, Link. These stories and legends were carved into stone, told as bedtime stories to children, and passed down from generation to generation. Though, the people of Hyrule have always expected these stories to come true, once again. For another epic battle to wage war across the lands, and for death.
They always knew the Hero of Time will slay the evil, and bring Hyrule back to the golden age.
But something went wrong with this story.

A dark storm rumbled through the sky. Darker than any person could imagine. Lightening stained red, clouds almost burning like fire through the thunder, and rain coming down onto the land like waterfalls.
The Prince of Darkness was born. Born in the hills of the thieves, the Gerudos. His family was considered the most horrid and blood-thirsty of them all. The mother died while giving birth to the child and the father denied holding the child. The rain fell harder on the lands below.
Across Hyrule, the Queen of Hyrule had given birth to a beautiful baby girl. The child’s eye's gleamed like crystals and shown innocence. The movie held her child close to her, and the father kissed his newborn child. They named her Zelda.
For some odd reason, though, Zelda's parents had a dark feeling, tugging at the ends of their hearts...

10 Years pass by, and the young Princess Zelda was very happy. She looked more like her mother every day. Her hair was always pulled back, and wrapped with ribbons. Her dresses were layered in pink and purple, and trimmed with gold. Every day she would sit with her mother in the courtyard and watch her paint. She would go on horse back rides with her father every evening. And every evening, when she looked 'towards the hills that surrounded the Gerudos Fortress, she always saw dark clouds circling over them. It never rained, it never thundered nor threw lightning to the ground, but it would never go away.

In the Hills of the Gerudos, however, the evil prince was kept by himself. He was named Gannon by the other women. His father had died when Gannon was 7 years old, and Gannon had not mourned for his loss. You see, it was Gannon himself that killed his father. His father would not hold him, love him, nor was he kind to him.
They locked Gannon away when he murdered his father. The thieves were afraid to speak of his name, and the guards of his cell never spoke to him. They kept to their selves.
But Gannon knew something that the others would never expect. He knew that they all expected him to stay in that cell and die of sickness or of old age. About two years after they locked him up, he found a way to escape his prison. He would wait for the perfect time to leave and take this land to the bloodiest war ever.
He smiled to himself every time he thought of that...
Just then his food was shoved through a slot in the door.


In the kokiri forest, music danced through the air. All the children of the forest were singing and dancing, celebrating the yearly harvest of foods in the forest. Berries, veggies, and even rare types of flowers were grown in gardens deep in the forest. When the harvest was over, it would be time for the feast. Everyone had fun that year. Except for the shy and silent Link.
"Come Link! The blueberries are the best this year!!!" saria tugged at Link's arm and pulled him up from the tree stump. "You always seem so depressed at times. I always hate to see you like that." She flashed a bright and warm smile to Link to brighten his spirits. She lightly kissed him on his cheek.
Saria had short, curly green hair. Flowers and leaves tangled between her locks and curled at her cheeks. Her eyes were Emerald green and glowed with delight. Her cheeks were light pink and her skin was lightly tanned. She wore a short green dress for this special occasion.
His fairy, Navi, poked him lightly on his cheek and laughed "You see? I told you Saria had a crush on you!" What could she say, she was right.
Link blushed and looked away, trying to hide it from Saria. "Shut up, Navi...”
Link's blonde hair was kept in his green cap, and his bangs stuck out like bad news. They brushed against his forehead and eyes.
And with that said, she laughed and fluttered away. "I'll meet you two later!" She left a glittering trail of dust behind her.
Saria smiled and pulled Link to the tables of food and the dancing and singing. She was sure that he'll have a good time. And it was the best time that Link ever had. With his friends, his fairy, and the girl who loved him.

That night, Both Link and Zelda had a dream. Link's dream was the strangest he had. In his dream, he saw three people. He saw a green fairy, whose wings looked like those of a Dragonfly. He saw a man, who was a demon. His wings were like those of a bat, and they were darker than a thousand nights. The third person was another man. His face looked innocent, and he had wings of a Raven. He awoke from this dream in a cold sweat. Something told him, something deep down in his soul, that these people would become important to him.
Zelda's dream was different though. In her dream, her father was gone. She walked around the castle, and saw no one. The walls were soaked in this...black fog. She walked to a mirror and looked through it, and she saw her mother with a fine red line across her neck. Zelda awoke with a scream, and grabbed her neck. She knew, too.
Something was going to happen.

Chapter 2.

Another 10 years have passed, and Princess Zelda's father died. His funeral was open to all of the people of Hyrule. Everyone heard of this horrid tragedy. Everyone, including Gannon. Gannon had become darker over the years. His hair grew long, past his shoulders, Twisted in knots. His face was expressionless, and his body strong.
When he heard of the death of the King of Hyrule, his lips curled into a deadly smile. He knew his time has come. Gannon had prepared himself for 10 years for this. His dreams told him things. When he would sneak out of the cell, he would steal a horse and ride to the farthest and deepest shadows to train himself. He even took back some supplies with him to his cell, waiting...for 10 years, and he was ready.
When the slot for his food opened, he quickly grabbed the hand of the Gerudos thief and cut it off with his knife he kept. The guard screamed, and others came to her aid. They opened the cell door to see him, and to take him to a new, stronger cell. Yet, when they opened his door, he attacked with no warning and slaughtered all the guards. When they were all dead, he took his weapons in a red rag, and ran out of the prison. The thieves and guards shot arrows and attacked him head-on, yet no arrow hit him, and no knife touched him. He quickly ran to the horse stalls, and stole his black steed. He took its reins and galloped into the night.

Zelda, beautiful and wise, felt something coming. She had a sense of danger coming, something from her dream. She never forgot that dream, but when she told it to her parents; they only soothed her fear and told her "It was just a dream."
But not anymore. Her father had died, and that was enough to tell her that her mother would fall victim to it too. She looked to her mother. Her mother was weeping, her face in her hands. Zelda sighed deeply. Her dream couldn't be true, it was nonsense.
But the feeling wouldn't stop.

In the Kokiri forest, the children also heard of this tale of death. They mourned for the King of Hyrule and the family too. It was worse for Saria, though. Ever since Link was forced to leave by the great Deku Tree, for reasons untold, she had missed him dearly. She would cry every night, and her fairy would try to sooth her pain. She would miss Link with all her heart, and now the new weight of the death was hard on her too. Life was simply just falling apart on her. She silently walked through the tree houses, into the Lost Woods. She went to her private place, to be by herself. She wouldn't even let her fairy be with her, this time. She sighed a heart-broken sigh and began to play her Ocarina in a melancholy tune.

Link, now a man, was heart-broken about the death. He lived in Hyrule Town, near the castle. When the great Deku tree had forced him out of his forest home, he knew why. He knew he was different, that he could age. But he felt horrible that he had to leave Saria with no reason. But she accepted his leaving, because she felt he was different as well. When he left, his fairy left home too. She didn't think he would need her to be around with him anymore. And Link was to himself, to live in the big city.
He heard of the Princess Zelda from friends and other people. He heard she was beautiful, wise, kind and friendly. He never saw her, but he thought to himself that he would love to someday. He decided to attend the King of Hyrule's funeral, and say a prayer to the Goddesses for the family.
When he was there, though, he saw a woman. "Strange..." he said to himself, "She looks...very familiar...."
Her hair was tinted green, her eyes were green, and her body seemed to glow with green. She looked like a living doll, perfect. Her eyes were large, and she had long lashes. Her body was tiny, her arms were slender and her fingers her long. She wore a long black dress. He walked closer to her, and hid behind a person. He wanted to get a good look at her. "She looks like...no, it couldn't be, what am I thinking?" he shook off that weird feeling and weaved between people, walking closer to the Royal family and the closed coffin.

The sky grew dark. Thunder and lightning clashed in the sky. People became very aware of this terrible weather. And something else clashed too, it was on the ground, coming closer to the Castle. The great steed breathed hard as it galloped with all it's might towards the funeral, pieces of ground and dirt flew into the air behind the animal. Gannon clenched the reins tightly in his fist, and a twisted black sword in his other fist. His eye burning with fire and he came closer.
The rain began to fall, and it fell heavy. The guards draped all kinds of clothe over the coffin, and pulled it to a safe place, from the rain. People were running everywhere to get to a dry place. A guard from the front gate ran through the crowd and up to the Queen, to warn her of a terrible thing. Zelda was able to hear what he said, and she gasped in horror. "It’s him! It’s going to happen, Mother please something bad is going to happen we must leave this castle at once!!" Her mother looked at her with a strange questioned face. Zelda looked to the guard and instructed him the keep this man from entering the castle.

Link was close enough to hear what Zelda said, and was the green woman. The castle guards warned all the people to leave immediately. Zelda and the Queen went into the castle, while the guards tried their hardest to close the drawbridge in time. But they weren't fast enough, Gannon was too close. His Giant steed leaped across the moat and into the bridge. He rode like lightning, slitting the guard’s bodies as he passed them.
He rode toward the castle, where the people ran screaming and the guards ran forth to attack. Gannon let go of the reins and bragged another sword. His knives were placed along his legs, tied into place so that when he needed them, there would be no trouble reaching them. His swords were placed on his back.
He took both swords in his hands and slaughtered all those he rode past. Innocent people, children, and other races that were there.
The guards attacked with furry, and arrows shot from above the castle. With one sword, he blocked all the arrow attacks, and with his other sword, he slit all the men and guards who attacked him. His steed also fought too, stomping and kicking all those who were around. Gannon was a man of hate and evilness; no one would get in his way.

Zelda and her mother were in the highest tower, in a room well hidden from even the maids. No one knew where it was, and it was considered a safe place. It only had a small window, out of sight from everything else. Zelda peered out the window, and the bloody fight. She had a terrible feeling deep in her stomach. Her mother was pacing around the room, trying to keep calm.

Oh Link, that Cat, had snuck into the castle while all the confusion and horror was happening. The castle was empty; all the men were out battling this One-man-Army. He sneaked through the hallways and rooms. He came across one room filled with swords and Armour. He took a strong sword and shield and left the room, searching the Queen and Princess of Hyrule.

[redpaige]

Chapter 3.

Gannon busted through the front doors of the castle, more than one mound of bodies left behind him.
The castle was dark, quiet. He stepped lightly, his eyes shifted from corner to corner. He remembered seeing a small window, smaller than any other window on a high tower. He knew where he was going. He knew that all buildings, castle or prison cell, had its little secrets. He raced for the stairs, running high into the castle, running through hallways and rooms.

Link kept his body close to the wall. He didn't know HOW long he's been on these stairs, or How HIGH he was either. His hands were on the wall, he steps quiet and his eyes searching. "There has got to be an end to this thing..." he moaned to himself. His hand out in front of him felt something. He looked closer, and it looked like a brick out of place. He pulled it out of the wall, and a light shone through. He looked into it, and saw the Princess at the small window. He looked at the wall again, where he pulled the brick out, and saw a fine line going around the other bricks, like a door. He pulled at it, and opened it like a door.
The Princess whirled around, with fear struck in her eyes. Link was stunned. He never saw anyone as beautiful as her. Her golden hair flowed past her tiny waist, her skin look white like milk, and her eyes sparkled blue while her lips were pink like a rose.
He walked toward her, placing the sword through his belt. "I'm not here to hurt you, I want to help you." He looked to the side, and saw the Queen. She looked as frightened as her daughter. He looked back and Zelda and took her hand in his. He smiled, and kissed her hand. This was no time for a formal greeting.
She looked at him in wonder. She had a feeling that she had to trust him. And she took that feeling right to her heart. She tried to smile to him, but fear over washed her when she saw a dark figure standing in the brick doorway.
Link turned and grabbed his sword. Gannon walked in, with his black sword dripping blood, and a deadly look on his face. Link stood before Zelda, protecting her. Zelda's mother ran from the other side of the room to be with the two, but Gannon caught her arm and pulled her to him. He took his knife and smiled devilishly to the two. He took his knife and slit the Queen's throat. He threw her to the floor.
Zelda screamed uncontrollably and began to cry. She held Link's shoulders tightly and sobbed in fear and sorrow. Link took his sword and swung at Gannon, but Gannon was more used to a sword than Link, and he easily knocked Link out with his fist. Link fell to the floor with a thud, and Zelda was left to protect herself. Gannon walked toward Zelda and drew his sword.
"STOP!" Gannon and Zelda looked to the doorway, and a soft green glow touched both of them. The woman that Link saw at the funeral, with the green body. She walked through the doorway, and pointed her finger at Gannon. "It's too soon! Now is not your time." She held her hands up in defense and walked closer to Gannon, trying to convince him. It was too soon. Link wasn't ready, the "Other two Angels" weren't found, and they were needed. She tried to look like she was on his side. She placed her hand on his hand that held his sword, and she lowered it.
"Look, you have the Princess and the Castle now. You have what you came for, and I right?"
Gannon looked at her suspiciously. "Yes..." he never lifted his eyes from her's.
"Then do now what you came for. You now have everything, start your rule. No one dares step in your path, dare not look you in the eyes," yet she did,” and you can crumble Hyrule in your hands if you desire." She pointed to Link on the floor, "He's no match for you. He has never held a sword before, it's pathetic. Place him in a cell, and he won't last for more than 3 days."
Gannon liked hearing that, the fact that everyone feared him, that he could crush all the lands if he wished.
Link awoke from his unconsciousness and looked at the woman. His eyes widened as he knew her. She was the one from his dream. He began to stand up, using his sword to help keep him balanced. His words slurred as he spoke, blood spitting out of the corners of his mouth. Gannon gave him a pretty hard blow! "It's you. I’ve seen you before..." Link's head was pounding; he could barely hear what he was saying.
Gannon turned to the woman. His eyes on fire, he believed that she was on his side and was there to take him down.
"Please, he does not know what he says. You knocked him out, what keeps you from thinking that you also might have knocked some sense out of him? Let me take him to the bottom of the castle, so you won’t have to see his face again." She began to pick Link up and wrap his arm around her shoulder for support when Gannon walked toward her, placing the point of his sword beneath her chin.
"You better not dare to do anything else for this soul. The dungeons are too good for him, much more than what I had planned to do five minutes ago."
She needn't hear him twice; she nodded her head without a word and dragged Link's body down the stairs.
Gannon looked back to Zelda, her body laid on the floor. She had fainted; this was too much for her. Gannon placed his sword back in its place and picked up Zelda. He carried her down the stairs and locked her into one of the guestrooms he passed.
He laughed in victory. The Princess was captured, the Queen was killed, and the Hero was down in the dungeons.
He smiled to himself a wicked smile, and walked down the rest of the stairs with an evil pride. When he reached the Throne Room and army of guards were there, waiting.
Gannon stood before the thrones and spoke with a heavy voice.
"Your Queen is dead and your Princess is locked away. You have no one to tell you to fight, you are with no lead. You belong to me now."

Chapter 4.

The dungeon floor was hard and cold as Link's face slammed against it. He quickly jumped to his feet and ran to the door, but he wasn't fast enough and it slammed in his face as well. He got up again and grabbed the bars on the small window.
"What are you doing?!" He screamed through the bars, "Are you telling me that you're helping that man!? What is your problem!!!?” He wailed his fists against the door and screamed the dirtiest words he could think of.
"Shut up, and calm down!!!" The woman snapped at him. She looked Link in the eyes and spoke quietly. "You will meet the other here. You've already met me, you're almost ready. And my name is Apple; you do not need to call me those rude names!!"
Here eyes seemed to glow lighter than her body, and filled up a majority of Link's cell. He looked closer to her eyes, and saw she was looking at something...someone.
He turned to see what she was looking it, but she softly closed her eyes and the light was gone. She began to walk away.
"Wait, where are you going?? What do you mean by 'meet the others'?" He repeated and yelled louder for her answer. She didn't, and she left without another word.
Link slammed his fist against the cell door again and cursed under his breath.
After a few moments, he turned around and looked at his surroundings. His eyes adjusted to the darkened cell. But it was too dark for him to see his hand in front of his face. He took a step forward, and heard something slither past him. A cold shiver slid up his spin.
He strained his eyes to see what was in front of him. In the corner of his eyes, he saw two red dots. They looked like eyes! He closed his and looked again. They were still there, and they looked like they were watching him. Slowly, they became half, and were gone.
"Who's there?" Link called out. No one answered. Link swallowed his Courage and stepped forward, demanding again. "Who's there? Answer Me!" His voice sounded hard and stern, hoping to show the thing that hid in the shadows that he had no fear.
A flame light as a reply to Link's call. A face appeared above the flame. Link took a step closer to get a better view of this creatures face. Its eyes were deep scarlet. His hair was black and streaked red in some parts. It covered the most of the man's face. He looked a little older than Link.
Another flame was lighted, and the candle was set on a stone chair. Link walked forward to the man, and felt a soft breeze. There were no windows in the cell, were there? He looked around, and saw no signs of moonlight. He felt the breeze again.
"Did you feel that?" Link sounded puzzled.
"I feel nothing" The man replied in a cold, sullen voice.
"How long have you been here?"
"Almost Forever..." The man grabbed Link's arm. His hand was ice cold, it's like his body has never been warm. He grabbed the candle with his other hand, and started to lead Link deeper and deeper into the shadows. The ground started to tilt forward, and Link stumbled on his feet and even fell to his knee's more than once. Gravity was never too friendly.
"Where are you doing? Where are we going?!" Link yanked his arm free from the man's cold grasp. The turned and looked Link right into his eyes. His scarlet eyes glowing like the flame on the candle. "I'm taking you to freedom you fool. Do you really think Apple left you here to die? Don't be so immature."
Link stammered with his words "You know that green woman? How, did she lock you up in here too?"
The man’s eyes grew fierce. "Don't ask questions and just follow me."
Link didn't want to, but really what had he to lose? He was in a cell, and he would most likely die anyways. He shrugged off that thought and followed the man.
"By the way, my name Rumms. Remember that, for the sake of your life."
The tone of the mans voice left a burn in Link's ears. "Why do you say that?"
"You'll see..."
After a good hour or two of uncomfortable silence, they finally reached their end. Rumms shined the candle light to a large stone that, pushed out of the way, would give Link his freedom. He set the candle down and helped Link push the boulder out of the way. When they had a good crack open, Link slipped out and felt the cool night’s breeze. The moon was shining its light all over the lands, and Rumms slipped out behind him.
When Link turned to get a better look at Rumms, he took a step back. Behind Rumms, were Wings of a Bat.? They extended and folded behind his back, looking harmless.
"What are you staring at?" Rumms snapped.
"Nothing...” Link stammered.
"Go. You've already met the first two, find the last person." Rumms began to walk away, in no particular direction. His wings extended again for a good stretch, then folded back.
Link hadn't the slightest clue to find the third person. But he had to look.

[Hero_Of_Time]

Chapter 5.

The night breeze was just what Link needed, after those horrible hours in that dungeon. He felt horrible for those people who may still be in there. He had a lot on his mind, and he had a lot to do. Princess Zelda though...Wow, he thought, was more beautiful then he had heard. Her hair looked like strands of gold, her eyes look as thought they were as deep as the oceans, and her lips looked like roses. Link smiled and chuckled to himself. He was able to see, meet, and kiss the hand of Princess Zelda! Oh he was looking forward to boasting to his friends. Then his smile snapped.

Gannon needed to be taken care of. He'd slaughtered all those people, and the rest ran off for safety. He even held the Princess captive and killed the queen!! He had to do something about it. Link walked down the high walls that surrounded Hyrule City and neared the drawbridge. He slides behind bushes and trees, making every effort to remain unnoticed.
The drawbridge was down, as before. There were bodies strewn over the chains that held the bridge, and even one on one of the Torches. A queasy slime hit the bottom of Link's stomach. But he crept on. He had to go back to his home to pick up some supplies; he was going to need them.

He stepped over the bodies, looking around ever so cautiously like the Cat he was. He hid in the shadows behind boxes and barrels when Guards ran by. When Link snuck up to a corner, he came upon two guards talking. Apparently Gannon had sent them out to kill all those who were left in the city. And if the Hyrulian put up a good fight, to capture them and send them to the dungeons for his biddings. Link looked down to his foot and found a few rocks. Ever so carefully, he picked up the biggest one and chucked it to the nearest building. The guards took notice and ran to the building, shields and swords out. And with that, Link turned the corner and ran down the alley.

When he reached the door of his home, he shifted his eyes around quickly, and crept into his house. He closed all the blinds to his windows, and placed an extra drape or blanket on them to keep the light in, so it would show no signs of anyone inside. When all that was done, he lit up the candles in his room, and took out a leather bag. He filled it with extra clothes, and other needed belongings. When that was packed, he grabbed his Belt pouch and filled it with potions and Rupees. Link went to the small table that was next to the head of his bed, and took the Dagger that lay upon it and strapped it to his Boot's Belt Buckle. He strapped it onto his belt and went for his Quiver, and filled it with as many arrows as possible. He grabbed his Bow and placed it around his shoulders. Link went to the small table that was next to the head of his bed, and took the Dagger that lay upon it and strapped it to his Boot's Belt Buckle. He went to the ice Box for a quick bit to eat and drink, then grabbed his Cape and was off into the night.

As he crept through the city, he was caught by one of the guards. Luckily there was only one guard, for Link was caught at the most darkest alley in the City. Link quickly grabbed an arrow and took his Bow into his hands, and Shot the guard through his neck. The guard fell dead, and Link quickly ran through the rest of the alley to an unknown hole in the Walls. The hole was behind a huge boulder and a few other rocks. Link pulled and pushed the rocks out of the way, and squeezed past the boulder to freedom.

Link kept his body low as he ran as fast as the wind, trying to get as far away from the Castle Walls as possible and fast. When he got a good distance between him and the Castle, he slowed down to a walk. The moon was high above, glowing brightly and shining onto Link's cheeks. He was nearing the Lost Woods; he would camp there for the night and find the "Last Person".
As he walked past the first few trees, he looks above to the leaves, and followed the rays of the moonlight from in between leaves and trees to the ground. It was a beautiful sight, and Link knew he would get a good rest before he was to travel.

He squinted his eyes. Not too far from him, he saw a dim green glow behind a few trees. He walked and slithered between the trees, growing closer to that mysterious glow. He reached down for his dagger and held it close to his side, ready for an attack if needed. As he got closer, he heard the soft hum of a woman's voice. It sounded familiar to him...
When he got to the tree that was right in front of the glow, he quickly leaped out at the Green figure and knocked it to the ground. Link held his dagger in front of the person's face and recognized who she was.

"It’s you-" Link was violently torn from on top of her to the side of the tree, where a fist met his cheek. A few seconds later when he regained consciousness, he recognized the two that was before him. Apple laid helplessly and looked like she had the wind knocked out of her while Rumms took her hand and helped her up with a caring smile.

[Jason-RN]

Another great chapter! Keep it up, Red.

[Hero_Of_Time]

UuuUuU, i liked the part when you described zelda xD

Princess Zelda though...Wow, he thought, was more beautiful then he had heard. Her hair looked like strands of gold, her eyes look as thought they were as deep as the oceans, and her lips looked like roses. Link smiled and chuckled to himself. He was able to see, meet, and kiss the hand of Princess Zelda! Oh he was looking forward to boasting to his friends.

heheheh, cant wait for the next one

[redpaige]

Link shook his head and tried to ignore that loud buzz in the corner of his head. That was a hard blow, both the tree and the fist. He quickly stood up and suffered the worst head-rush he could ever remember. Through his fuzzy vision he saw Rumms walk up to him with a snarl and Pissed-Off face.

"What is your problem?!" Rumms shouted, "Do you Always pounce onto women like that or is it just a once-in-a-lifetime thing? You just scared the living daylights out of her and gave her a nice knot on her head!" Link looked past Rumm's shoulder and saw Apple stroking her fingers through her green silk hair, her eyes wide.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what to expect in these forest and I was attacked by a guard at Hyrule City. I'm just edgy..." Link trailed off when Apple walked to them. She was a very beautiful Angel, her eyes were piercing green, and her blush seemed to be green too. At least it did when Rumms helped her up a few moments ago.

"It's alright, this is a time of impending war, and anyone can mistake anyone else as anything." Both Link and Rumms gave her a confused look. She said and said "You know what I mean. We can mistake anything and everything at this time..." Both Rumms and Link agreed.

The three of them sat around the Bonfire that Rumms and Apple had started earlier. Since they were deep in the woods, no one would notice it. Apple brought up the matter at hand.

"We need to find the third person. I've met him once, but it was very long ago, when we were Children in the Sacred Realm. But something dreadful happened to his family and he was then lost in the same Realm that the Link before you," Apple pointed at Link "was kept in during his seven years of sleep. I heard that it has taken a toll on him. Some say his colors have changed..." Rumms mad a grimace look, and Link didn't understand.

Apple continued "Well look for him at kakariko Village at the brink of Dawn. We must find him, and as soon as possible. But now, we need our sleep. And I, a quick bite." Apple looked up to the tree branch above her and smiled at the sight. It was a branch to an Apple Tree. Link looked up to and grinned.

"What a coincidence! There's an Apple tree above Apple herself." Link laughed.
Rumms allowed himself to smile when Apple hit Link with an apple from the tree and took two more for her and Rumms. They were Red apples, but after her touch, the color swirled to a bright green, and they were sweeter than the ones left on the branch. What a talent, Link thought to himself.

I'll continue later...

[Jason-RN]

Great chapter. I can't wait until the next one!

[redpaige]

Omg is has been TOO LONG....Ok where was I...


As the Sun arose over Death Mountain, rays of its golden light reached through the tree branches and caressed the sleeping bodies that layed on the soft grass and flowers in the Forest. Rumms was the first to awaken to the beckoning call of the Sun. He reached his arms above his head in a stretch; he felt a weight to his side. He looks in a sleepy curiosity, to find the lovely Apple curled at his side. Her green hair swept across her pearly-white face as he moved his arms to lightly touch her cheeks.

He looked around for Link, and found him sleeping at the foot of a tree, drooling. Link seemed to make himself comfortable that night, for unlike Rumms and Apple, who were curled on their side, Link was practically spread-eagle, arms wide open, and of course, drooling. At least he had a good well-deserved sleep. After all that's happened, of course. Rumms lightly adjusted himself onto his elbows, and looked back down to Apple who slept quietly to his side.

Apple's eyes lightly flickered, and her deep-green eyes awoke to the gaze of Rumms. She blushed, and apologized if she had disturbed Rumms in his sleep, or invaded his personal space. Rumms chuckled, and told her not to worry. He pulled his wings from behind him to a full-spread stretch. Apple sat up and pulled a few flowers from her hair.

"You should keep those roses and Daisies in your hair. They compliment your beautiful face", Rumms commented. Apple blushed and smiled, and left on rose that was wrapped in her green hair, next to her cheek.

Rumms stood up and walked over to Link. God, did he ever snore so loud. His kicked Link in the foot to wake up, and startled him with a snort and a "5 more minutes...” Rumms kicked him even harder. Unfortunately, Link awoke with a pain in his leg.

"What'd you do that for?!" He yelped with a yawn and rubbed his thigh. Link gazed around the area to help remind him where he was. He saw Apple combing her fingers through her hair, and Rumms stern face.
"Ok ok fine i'm up i'm up..."
Link pulled on a low tree branch to help pull him to a stance. "So. We’re going to look for our missing person today?" Link asked as he pulled his belt on.

"When you're ready, we're off to find him or her." Rumms replied in an impatient tone, as link placed his sword on his back. Apple came up to the two men and gave them each a little leather bag of wild fruits and berries. Rumms gave her a warm smile, and Link said "Thanks", and poured half the bag into his mouth.

As the three of them walked through the trees to open land, everything looked so different. In the sky above Hyrule castle brewed The darkest of clouds, and the reddest of lightning. The castle seemed to stain in black tints, and you could faintly hear the torturous screams and cries of the people who have been captured by Gannon. Link prayed that Princess Zelda was not one of the people screaming.

"So, where do you think our missing member may be?" Apple asked while looking at the direction of Kakariko Village. Rumms walked beside her and looked across the lands of Hyrule. He looked in the direction that she was, while Link was still in shock about Hyrule Castle.
Rumms walked over and placed his arm around Link's shoulder.

"That's where we're heading", he pointed the small, innocent Village.

Nice job, Red. I wonder what's going to happen when they get to Kakariko Village...
