Chapter One: A Child's Secret

As the small child crept toward the stairs, he sat down at the top, listening to the argument his parents are carrying on. His frightfulness towards his parents grew stronger as each word they spoke was heard from his long, pointed ears. Enragement made the air feel dark and dreadful as the boy's parents were in a frenzy. "GIVE...ME....BLOODWYNE!" spoke the father in a drunken matter. "What kind of a maniac are you? You need to leave the house right this second!" said the mother. "Oh, that's it! That is it! If you're not....going to do what...I say, then I might as well....kill you right now!" The sound of furniture flying through the air was heard downstairs as panic was ensued. The boy looked down from the top of the stairs to see what was going on. What he saw was more then such a young boy's eyes should see. He stared down as he saw his father, gripping firmly on a large axe, staring down toward his mother, which is siting down on the floor in a corner of the room, looking up at him with fright, her sweat causing her to look pale. Once the boy saw his father raise the axe slowly, he quickly turned away from the sight as he heard the axe hit his mother. But now he noticed something else afterwards that is causing him to become more horrified then before..he heard his father's footsteps, slowly creeping up the stairs, searching for his own blood to test his axe on.

The boy quickly got up and ran toward his room. Since his age is about seven, he was smart enough to quickly close the wooden door behind himself and to lock it with a key he took from the top of his dresser. Afterwards, he ran quickly toward the other side of the bed, crouching down much like his mother before she died, in a corner. He heard his father slowly walk toward his room. Then finally, the footsteps stopped...

The boy was confused to notice that his father stopped, but before he could get up to see what was going on, he heard an axe thrust itself into his wooden door, chopping it to large pieces, leaving splinters everywhere. Then after about 5 whacks with the axe, he heard his dad kick the door down. The sound was so terrifying that the boy's body had no other way to react other then quickly stand up and jump from the fright. He looked toward the front of the doorway as his dad slowly walked in with the axe gripped tight in his hands, the blade of it covered in blood, enough to even drip onto the door which laid on the floor. After all of this, the boy just stood, and stared.

He say his father walk toward him, with an evil smile forming on his face. The boy stared in terrible horror as his father walked right in front of him. As his father raised the axe, ready to kill the small boy without a word, the boy quickly turned his face to the side, his eyes squinting closed as he thrusts his arms forward, parallel to each other, with his palms facing toward his dads chest. And as the boy stood there in that pose, something amazing happened.

A bright, circular white light, which looked like a small sun when you gaze at it directly, appeared in front of the boys palms. The light got so terribly bright that the boy's father dropped his axe and tried to shield his eyes with his hands from the burning light. Then the light became as large as the child himself, and as it stayed in that particular size, it shot out a white beam twice the size as the light itself toward the father. His father screamed in terrible pain as his body was shot up into the air along with the beam, which aimed toward the night's sky from behind the ceiling diagonally. Once the boy's father was not to be seen, the beam shrunk as the bright circular light dissappeared.

The boy slowly opened his eyes and turned his head forward, looking around, then noticing a large hole in the ceiling, showing the night's dark sky, as rain droplets fell from that sky. Even though the boy was terribly amazed at such an event, he did nothing but run downstairs as fast as he could, and out of the house, not carrying if he had such terrible clothes to wear outside. The rain poured harder as he walked through the forest which was nearby, and even though it poured down with all the storm's might, the boy kept running..and running...and running.

Chapter Two: The Unbearable Dream

Terri laughed at the joke his friend, Faerin, made which was about 2 faeries. Link continued sitting in a wooden chair on the porch of his cabin house, watching the boys continue to swap jokes. A gentle gust gave no slight amount of coldness as it swished through the trees nearby in the summer breeze. Days seemed to go by so slowly yet to Link it was just another day. After the 2 boys finished with their joke-telling, they started running around the lush green trees. Link sat there, thinking about the so many adventures he made. Then his thoughts came to a blur when he noticed the 2 boys staring at something on the ground. He got up and with his eyes still locked onto the object the 2 boys are staring at, he walked toward the scene.

Once he stopped near the boys, he kneeled down onto the green grass, looking at the object they were so interested in looking at. Swift judgment came to him the minute he saw it up close. It was a letter. He picked up the letter and turned it around to see the front. The front was just like the back, except a large emblem of the Triforce with vines covering only a few parts of it was stuck on it, holding the opening of the letter together. He took of the emblem and opened up the letter, but once he was about to read it, he looked to his left and to his right and noticed the boys were gone. Terrified that something wrong happened to them, he quickly turned his head around to search every area around him, only to find the boys playing in the field. Noticing they are all right, he unfolds letter and starts to read the words which are written on it.

Dear Link: I have noticed something very odd about Princess Zelda. I have heard rumors of her having terrible dreams in her sleep. She herself is trying to tell me that these dreams are prophecies of terrible events that will occur in the near future. She, though, also said that she can handle these dreams, I fear for that is an excuse that nothing bad is going on. I think her "tomboyish" heart is what is causing these feelings. Even though she has done well to not become like herself when she was younger, she still has a "heart-of-iron" enclosed in her body. Please come to the castle tomorrow afternoon to discuss things with her about these terrible dreams.

Sincerely, The King of Hyrule

Link noticed that some trouble was brewing through Hyrule's air, and that he needed to be careful. He got up, gripping the note firmly in his hand, and walked toward his house. As the two boys continued their fun, Link walked inside his cabin and set the paper down on a wooden desk nearby. Once he let go, a surge of pain came from one of his fingers. Looking at the finger, he noticed a large papercut. Though papercuts are normal, a papercut that occurs without touching an object isn't, and this was exactly what Link thought. Link forgot about it just a few seconds afterwards and headed outside toward the small pond nearby to wash the cut. After washing it, seeing just small bit of blood swirling through the waters of the pond, he dries off his hands and walks back into the cabin, only to sit on a chair, thinking about what will happen next.

After a few repetitive thoughts later, Link finally woke up from his doze and noticed that the sky over Hyrule has become a dark blue as nightfall has taken over the bright sky. He looks outside his door, noticing that the two brothers are gone, and thinks that they have gone to their home to rest until tomorrow morning. After such a thought, he decided to rest as well. As he walks outside, closing the door behind him, he immediately walks to his room where he rests on his bed. As he dozes off into a world of dreams which he controls, the world starts to become dark, and a strange yet terrifying nightmare flourishes.

He walks through the dream, looking around at his surroundings, noticing darkness falling upon him. Feeling that something evil will happen, he tries to take out his sword and shield. After only gripping onto air, he looks around on his clothes, noticing he is not armed. A strange sound is heard far in front of him, causing him to stare into the pure darkness ahead. He then sees up ahead a strange object shooting up at a "neutral" pace towards the sky, which looks like a large tree trunk, seeming to be as large as the Deku Tree, only to find out that his observation has been merely swiped away, as large vine-like things spread across the object. The object stopped growing, appearing to be not a tree, but a large cylinder-shaped creature, since the outer bark of a tree has been replaced by what seems to be muscle and the vines seem to be large veins. Since Link notices he is unarmed, he decides to run as far away from the creature as he can, but stopped when he heard the scream of a familiar person.

He turned around only to see Zelda staring at the creature in terror as it shot it's veins toward her, acting like tentacles. The veins wrapped around her as she tried to force herself out. Link ran toward Zelda, which is still grabbing onto the ground, as it tried to pull her toward itself. As Link ran closer to the creature, the louder the heartbeat of it was heard. As he finally reached Zelda, he took her by the hands and tried to pull her out, but he noticed he didn't have enough strength to do so. His hands quickly slipped from hers as the creature used it's veins to pull toward it. Then Link looked at it in terrible awe.

A large mouth with sharp teeth formed from the inner part of it, almost as large as the creature itself. The gaping maw was large enough to fit 1/4 of Hyrule castle into the throat of the creature, and the look of it revealed mostly the look of a leech's mouth. Then he noticed something more terrible. more mouths appeared behind the largest one, taking the same shape as the first mouth. This caused it to look more like a shark then any other creature, since it had over 7 rows of teeth. Link got up and ran toward the creature, then once he was right in front of the throbbing muscles, he kept punching and kicking at them, trying to stop the creature from it ever trying to eat princess Zelda. He noticed that it had no effect whatsoever toward the incredibly large creature, since it continued to pull Zelda through. Knowing Zelda would die, he tried to wake up from such an awful nightmare, but for some odd reason, he couldn't. He kept struggling to wake up, but it was no use. As the creature whipped Zelda into it's large maw, Link tried one more time to stop the dream. Then..a split-second before it shut it's mouths closed to chew up the princess...Link opened his eyes...and woke up.
