PROLOGUE "Princess, Princess!" A soldier shouts, running into the Hylian throne room, out of breath and bleeding from a wound in his side, he kneels before Princess Zelda, the crowned princess of Hyrule turns to look at the soldier. "What is it? What's happened now?" Zelda asks of the soldier, the fear obvious in her voice. "Makya's forces, have invaded... Hyrule Castle Town..." the soldier gasps out, before keeling over dead. "Princess Zelda, we can't stay here any longer!" One advisor shouts. "We cannot risk your life if the north's forces invade, the Magician King's power is too great!" "What kind of princess would I be if I fled in my kingdom's darkest hour?" Zelda questions as a pounding is heard at the door, she draws her sword in anticipation as the doors break down. Two giant monsters come charging in, as the soldiers try to fight them off, they are killed one by one, clearing a passage to Zelda. But they step aside as a man enters, with silver hair that is spiked back, and wearing obsidian black armored robes, he chuckles as he makes his way into the throne room. "Princess Zelda the, what is it now, fifth?" The man chuckles. "What a pleasure it is to see your fabled beauty finally in person." "Stop it with the flattery, Makya, I know there has to be more of a reason that you went through all this trouble, you want something else other than Hyrule, don't you?" Zelda demands of the magician king. "Your too smart for your own good, my master had too much problems with your ancestors, so I'm not only taking your kingdom in the name of the King of Evil, I shall curse you as an example for your subjects!" He says, and removes a book of spells from his robes as the two monsters grab Zelda by the arms. "Shadows of evil heed my call, cast this spell as the shadows fall. By the dark winds of the east, turn this mortal's heart into that of a beast!" (Okay, so I'm not that good at making up incantations, just bear with me.) Zelda screams as magical lightning strikes her, the two monsters move away from her quickly, as her body morphs and transforms. When the lightning fades away, the princess is replaced by a white horse with a blonde mane, she paws the ground as she rears up on her hind legs. Makya laughs, knowing that Hyrule was now his. END PROLOGUE This is a Legend of Zelda-based RPG that takes place roughly two years after the events of the prologue. Hyrule is ruled by a dangerous Sorceror named Makya, who is attempting to release Gannon from his prison, however he cannot do it, yet. To release Gannon, he would have to have eliminated the descendants of Link and Zelda, having already succeeded the day he took over Hyrule, and 3 others. In this RPG, Zelda, still a horse, has been rescued from her confinement by one of the 4 heroes that Makya has yet to find, and the time is drawing close where their destinies will be intertwined. This will be open to 4 members, including myself, which leaves 3, sorry. We need a descendant of Link to take the position of the Hero of Time, and two others. Your carachter doesn't have to be Hylian, he or she can be of any race in Hyrule, or a combination of two races, its possible. If you want to join, use this profile: Name: Age: Race: Weapon of Choice: Special Skills: Description: History: Personality: And, here's my carachter: Name: Raven Age: 17 Race: Sheikah Weapon of Choice: Sword (katana to be exact) Special Skills: Can understand animals to an extent, and also has some abilities over the shadows. Description: A young woman with pitck-black hair and red eyes, she is never seen without her armor and sword. Her armor has a black cape flowing behind it, and the eye of truth painted on the front. History: Raven is one of the few remaining members of the Sheikah tribe, which was mostly eliminated in Makya's purges, how she escaped them is uknown, and has been living on a farm in the Faron Providence. Most recently, she rescued a horse from a band of marauders deep in the Faron woods, a horse with the name Zelda. She is now trying to gather together the other 3 heroes that will lead to the victory over Makya. Personality: Loyal to those she can trust, but in battle, she is ruthless towards her enemies. But in her heart, she does have a soft spot, somewhere.

Name: Zoni Age: 15 Race: Hylian Freshwater Amphibious Zora Weapon of choice: Large razor sharp fins, smaller boomerang fins. Special Skills: He can survive in salt water for limited times and can survive outside of water like a human. He can also create small, mostly harmless balls of water. ("Well they're dangerous if you're fire!"-Zoni) He can also regrow any fins he lost in a matter of moments, so long as it doesn't rip too far into the muscle of his arm. Description: Zoni wears a blue Zora tunic as nudity is appearently taboo in Hyrule's land world. He covers his face with the golden mask in battle and when swimming in saltwater to breathe for limited times. He has some human features, such as a more humanoid face and a very vaugely human-like torso. He is supposedly the spawn of a short line of Zora-Hylian breeders. History: He was told repeatedly not to leave the safety of Zora's Domain, but he paid no heed and left at night. Zoni made money for the tunic he wears by using his fins as a sort of musical instrument. He was so bad people paid him to stop playing. While playing in Hyrule Castle Town, he heard the story of how the world came to be as it is and decided then and there that, since he had the tunic and people's ears had begun bleeding as they passed his horrid sound, he would take charge and be the first Zora hero. His most recent heroic feat was taking out a Bokoblin camp single-handedly... If one cound concider knocking a torch from a wall and sending a flaming trail of gunpowder into their explosives stock and blowing them to microscopic bits completely by accident heroic... Personality: He thinks he's funny. Honestly, he'd make more money with his music than he would from a comedy act. In battle wtih stronger forces he can be serious, but he's usually fairly relaxed. He has somewhat of a short fuse, but is quick to cool off.

(Okay, lets start.)
Somewhere in Hyrule field, a young woman is lying face down on top of a cliff. A purple cloth is covering her face as she readies a metal crossbow.
Up ahead is a carriage, being escorted by two green-skinned Marauders (the boar riding enemies in Twilight Princess), it thunders down the road heading towards Hyrule Castle Town. The woman takes a circular item out of her pack, and fits it into the crossbow.
As the carriage moves on, suddenly one marauder and his mount falls in a stream of arrows as the woman jumps down from the cliff, swinging a katana as she throws the second Marauder off of his boar, trampling him as she manuvers the boar alongside the carriage, blasting it free of the horses with a bomb arrow, she turns her attention to the carriage.
As she throws open the door, a nobleman is cowering in the seat. "T-t-take anything you want, just don't hurt me!" He stutters, and the woman kicks the man right through the door.
She looks down at the man as she gathers the money in the carrige together. "500 Rupees, money that neither you nor Makya deserve, its been a pleasure robbing you, but all good things must come to an end," she says, and jumps down from the carriage as she throws a bomb into it.
News would eventualy reach Makya, she knew that, and people would know that Raven had struck again.

A Zora jumped out from a hidden tunnel in a circle of rocks. Slung over his back was a sack full of the treasures from below.
"Man, what a haul... Stupid evil rulers leavin' items underground like that..." He grinned broadly as he strolled onward, toward Hyrule Castle town.
The Zora stopped as he saw the woman throw a bomb into the carrige. He then looked into his pack and saw the stock of bombs. "... If any flaming shrapnel hits this sack, I'm dead..." He sighed and moved onward. "Just par for the course... Ah well. At least I'll die rich, happy, and sort of heroic."
(Stupid intro, deal with it.)

Raven removes the piece of cloth, letting her black hair fall down to her shoulders, and sighs as she glances around, noticing the Zora, she shrugs, pouring the rupees into a bag, which she slings over her shoulder, and whistles.
A minute later, a white horse comes galloping up, stopping next to Raven, who ties the bag to the horse's saddle, and climbs onto her back. "Alright Zel, lets get this money to Castle Town," she says, and they start off again.

The bomb exploded, sending flaming bits of shrapnel in every direction. Somehow, the Zora escaped unscathed.
"Well... That was lucky." He looked for any scratches on his body. "Hyrule Castle Town, here I come!" He bolted off toward the castle town, moving as fast as his spoils would allow him.

About halfway to the town, he hears a click behind him. Raven, not sure if she could trust him or not, had waited for him, and was now aiming her metalic crossbow at the Zora. "Take another step, and I won't hesitate to shoot you," she says.
(As a note, Raven's crossbow is special, when you pull the trigger, instead of launching one arrow, it launches a stream of arrows with enough speed to kill anything within range.)

(Sounds like she took some lessons from the Moblins...)
"Oh, you're lovin' this, ain't ya..." he muttered, looking up at the sky. The Zora turned to face the woman. "Hey now, no point in shooting someone you just met..." He dropped the sack and walked over to her. He pushed the crossbow down and grinned, staring her in the eyes. "In your eyes... I see... I see....... I see that you must be lovin' being this close to one as great as myself."
He took a step back, grinning broadly. "But seriously... Name's Zoni. Zoni Ruton. As in Zoni Ruton, master of land and sea. Zoni Ruton, richest *and only...* Zora hero in the world. Zoni Ruton, man of a thousand women! Perhaps you'd like to be one thousand and one?"
(I've always wanted to use this character...)

(Its like you put the qualities of a man I would hate into a Zora.)
"Raven, last of the Sheikah, and why should I be interested in a Zora who thinks that he is the goddess' gift to women?" Raven snarls, her hand gripping her katana. "If you know that name, then you'd know that I've killed more of Makya's minions than you can count, and stolen hundreds of thousands of rupees, what's one more killing to me?"

"Um... I'm the great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great Grandson of Zora royalty and by killing me you effectively eliminate Zora royal blood, thus possibly turning us into bird-creatures?" He grinned, hoping his quick sarcastic excuse would actually work.

"Your not worth wasting an arrow or sword anyway," Raven says, moving her hand away from her katana as something clicks in her mind. "Do you really think your a hero?"

"Think? I KNOW. I was chosen by some weird whale-thing. Legend has it that every person that has seen the whale becomes a hero and are effectively "chosen."

"Raven, he speaks the truth, he is indeed one of the other chosen," Raven's horse says (only Raven can understand her, unless Zoni can speak horse), trotting up behind her.
"He is? Oh great, I encounter another one of the "chosen ones," and its a Zora who tried to hit on me when we met," Raven compains lout loud. "Zel, from now on, keep that sort of thing to yourself if you can help it."
"I'll try," the horse says.

"Man, even a crazy woman shot me down! Maybe dad was right... I shoulda just gone out with that bird girl." He sighed and turned to walk off, grabbing his sack and slinging it back over his shoulder. "See ya later, crazy lady."

Only to step right in the sight of a Marauder, who is readying a flaming arrow. There is a click, and a stream of arrows bursts past the Zora, and the Marauder falls dead. "Consider yourself lucky that I hate those guys more than you, but if your a chosen hero like you claim, then we're in the same boat," Raven says.

"Why do I get the feeling this is where I should say "Aw nutbunnies?" He sighed and turned toward Rain. "Feels like some greater power is forcing this on me, but I'll go along with you."
(Psuedo-fourth wall breaking. Woot.)

"Yeah, same here. This is my horse Zelda, lets just say your not the only one who got drawn into the hero buisness by an animal," Raven says.

"At least your's has a normal name... The whale was called Jabu-Jabu. And it wasn't even ALIVE." he said. "Just plain freaky."
