The Red Moon (FanFiction)

-Prologue-

Hyrule. It only seemed like yesterday that the threat was slowly crawling over them. The shadow that grew, ever larger, was slowly decaying the world that had been so hard to raise and establish friendship with neighboring races.

Then, as if out of nowhere, a boy in green clothing, suddenly appeared and destroyed the dark essence, wielding the blade of evil's bane. Everything that was to disappear, was reborn.

What confused many, was how changing the future changed their past. An enigma, that after six months of research by Hyrule's greatest minds, have come up blank, so it was left as an unexplainable phenomenon.

Then, the boy named Link left Hyrule, claiming that he is being called by something. Nobody knew it was the boy that destroyed Ganon, however they became suspicious when out of the blue Zelda, the princess of Hyrule, was seen talking to him on the edge of the Hylian border.

A year passed, and almost everyone had forgotten about the boy. Then, a boy on a horse was spotted, and most of the royal knights and the princess herself had been there to greet his return. However, at the request of Link himself, the royal family announced that he "Did a deed of significance that has greatly helped the foundation that is Hyrule." Luckily, no one asked any questions as to what.

Eleven year old Mia sat on her small tree house ledge, playing a small Fairy Ocarina, which was a gift from Saria, her best friend. Kokiri forest brewed with life, as usual. She could feel her mind relaxing from the stress of the world.

"She...is the one...who must die...to succeed...in our purpose."

It sounds good so far. Keep writing!

Interesting, nice intro. I'll be waiting for the next part.

Wow, I was really glued to the story there. This is one good fan-fic. Please continue!!

Thanks guys, I'll write the next chapter before I go, then it'll probably be a while because I'm going out of country for a few months :/ but i should be able to write where I'm going.

This fic is quite interesting, very. I like it, hope to read some more.

Whoa! Good introduction there Rena! What a talented ficcer you are!

Chapter 1-

Kokiri forest. It's radiant beauty awed Mia as soon as she stepped in...Dirty, fatigued, hungry, thirsty, and bruised...badly.

Her father was the cause of all her pain, all her suffering. The number of times he would come home from the city drunk, and take out his anger on her. Finally, she decided to run. Run as far as she could.

At the young age of nine, she had escaped to Kokiri forest. Somehow, the Deku Tree, still full of life, accepted her in, but could not keep her at her current age. She didn't mind, and soon, Saria became her best friend...

Mia sat on her small treehouse ledge, tapping her foot lightly while blowing a soft tune on her Fairy Ocarina. She was actually very pretty, with very, VERY light brown hair which looked almost red in certain light, which came down to her middle back. She had bright green eyes, and a very pretty, slightly tanned skin. She was pretty short, only about 5'6, but it never bothered her too much, because she had a nice figure. She was wearing the typical Kokiri clothing, a collared green tunic, and green short shorts and some small brown boots.

"Oy! Mia, what's with the sad song!?"

Mia stopped and looked up, blinking. Looking down, she saw Saria giggling and beggining to climb the ladder to her small wooden treehouse.

"Nothing, really...Just thinking." Mia said, shrugging her shoulders.

"Hey, guess what!? I think my friend Link may be back! I heard from a forest spirit echoing something about it in the wind." Saria said, smiling and sitting next to her.

"Really? I'd like to meet him...But what's the big deal about him anyways?" Mia asked.

"'What's so great about him?' He saved us from Ganon, remember?" Saria said, looking a little upset.

"Sorry...I guess I was just too hurt to care back then." Mia said sadly. "I was still adjusting to the forest when I was ten, and then I remember you all sad when I saw that kid with the sword and shield leave the forest."

"Heh, yeah, I forgot. Back then, he didn't have a fairy, and now she's tending to the deku sprout." Saria said, grinning.

The setting sun began to drift lazily down upon the forest. The howls of the Wolfos in the Lost Woods were beggining to howl so early, but to them it was quite normal. Birds were seen going to rest in their nests, and the Deku Baba pets were also slowly drooping to the ground.

"Funny, those things used to be insane." Saria giggled.

"Yeah, I remember. They were attacking everyone that could reach their range." Mia said.

The memories of the seven year time period, when the older Link appeared, had disappeared from their minds. Except, for Mia's and Saria's. All Mia remembers, though, is seeing a boy with a hookshot climbing up to the temple, while Mia was searching the forest for Saria, who she could hear calling for her. Then, all was blank.

"Well, I'm gonna go to bed now, kay?" Saria said, stetching. "I know its sunset, but I've been running around the woods all afternoon."

"Okies, later." Mia waved as Saria hopped down her ladder.


Mia continued to stare at the circular moon as it crept over head. The full moon always intrigued her, admiring its beauty. Then, she realized something was different. It was red, like blood strewn across a green field. A dark, omnious red that always gave her the chills.

"Woooow! Look at that, guys!"

Mia looked down, and some of the Kokiri were coming out and looking at the moon.

"Why's it red like that?"
"It's awesome!"
"Scary..."

She hopped down from her lookout and joined the others, standing next to Saria.

"I've never seen something like that before." Mia said, glancing back at it.

"Neither have I, all the years I've been here." Saria said, quietly, almost mysteriously.

The sound of a neighing horse reached their ears, followed by a deep "HAH!". Galloping noise following, and the sound of dragging cloaks or something similar was dragging along the forest leaves.

At that instand, all the fairies of the children began to hide behind them, shivering.

"What's wrong?" Saria asked hers.

"I s-s-sense something!" She squeeled.

Red eyes glanced at them from within the forest. Stepping into the light of the blood red moon, they glared. Seven foot tall lizard-humans, known as Lizalfos, were glaring at them, advancing with mightly blades clutched in their slimy hands. Behind them, dark figures in cloaks, with armor as black as knight and horses with a skeletal figure were snorting at them.

"Girrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrlllll...." One of the Lizalfo's hissed, pointing at Mia.

----------------------------------------

Tell me whatcha think, thanks

Amazing. This is one of the best fan fics I've read and this is only end of chapter 1! But I think the monsters are called Lizalfos... unless you changed it for your story that is! Sorry if it's the latter ^^;;

Anyway, I am really looking forward to the next chapter because this is brilliant.

Great fan fiction, it's interesting. I hope to read more, please continue.

Hey, I can see your a good ficcer here! Keep up the good work!And can't wait for chapter 2!

Lol, sorry I haven't played OOT in a while, I'll edit the names to Lizalfos, I suck at remembering things. Thanks for the compliments, another chapter will be up by the end of the night .

Great first chapter, RenaKunisaki. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of your story!

Chapter 2-

Mia had no idea as to what to do. Some of the Kokiri, pale with fear, began to slowly creak their heads toward her. The Lizalfo was snorting, and still pointing at her.

"Yup...Eh heh, she's a girl alright!" Saria's fairy squeeked.

"A bad time for some humor!" Mido whispered, beggining to shiver.

For 'the big bad boss of the Kokiri', he sure was a coward. He finally learned to carry a sword, but whether or not he'd draw it, no one knew.

"Hand her overrr...kill..." The Lizalfo snarled more menacingly.

"Kill!?" Saria shouted.

She froze. Some of the dark knights turned their heads, yellow eyes glaring at them through the night. Roundish and menacing the continued to glare at her.

"Yessss..." It hissed.

Some of its companions began to nod, and pointed their heavy blades at them. One of the dark riders pointed a finger at Mia, redirecting its attention back to her.

Mia had no idea what to do. It said 'kill' so the chances of her going to them was slim to none. She at least wished she had some kind of weapon, whether it be sword, magic, or arrow.

More Lizalfos and dark knights were beggining to emerge from the depths of the lost woods, surrounding the Kokiri in the middle of the small village. They all had the same armor, light and bearing the same symbol, a small capital T and an 'S' curve from the base of it. On their head rested a small red, diamond shaped ruby. The knights with their dark armor, only had the jewel as well enrusted in their chestplate.

"COME! NOWWWW!" It hissed even more menacingly.

Mia turned a ghastly white and saw a small rock being placed by a dark knight, wielding a heavy axe. It was fingering the edge of the huge blade, quietly.

"If you want Mia, you'll have to go through us!" Saria shouted.

Mia gasped and looked at her. She had the most determined look on her face, and an open palm in her hand facing them was turning a glowing green color.

"Why do you want to kill her!?" She shouted angrily, the orb in her hand glowing softly.

"For reassssonsss...beyond your concern, little one." He snarled softly.

"Try me." She said sternly.

"So you will not simply give her up?!" It hissed, each Lizalfo and Dark Knight were beggining to put up their blades, pointing it right at the small group.

"You think we'd do that!?" Saria shouted.

"Speak for yourself." Mido whispered, making Saria glare at him shortly.

"You think your petty forest magic, can withstand ussss? Look around, little one." It hissed, grinning menacingly showing sharp but yellow teeth.

Mia could see her determination growing weaker. She growled, she couldn't just sit here and listen to her best friend defend her alone?

"Hmph. You damn lizards think you can scare me?!" Mia shouted, making several of the children jump.

She was glaring at the one who spoke, her hand curled into a fist. If she was going to die, might as well try and fight. Of course, she felt nervous. The most damage she'd ever done to anything was accidently swat a nasty mosquito.

Their weapons gleamed and their jewels glowed, and each began to break into a sprint toward her.

Such anger brewed inside Mia. She could feel as if all the anger from her father was going to be unleashed...

Then, a light surrounded her. The army stopped, and their jaws were gaping. The knights, however, were in full retreat.

"What is thissss?!" One Lizalfo gasped.

Small runes began running around Mia, and she couldn't interpret them. She was to stunned to really care if they were readable at all.

Finally, a sudden burst of energy escaped her body. She felt weak, and collapsed to the ground...

Looking up, she saw several of them retreating, and some were lying on the ground, probably dead. The Kokiri were staring in awe, unharmed by the intense light. Suddenly, the light faded away just as soon as it came.

"Get herrrrrrr!" Snarled the Lizalfo, with a small number of them left.

Knocking aside several of the children, one grabbed her around the throat and held her in the air. It's black nails were scratching at her neck, and its slimy hands were squeezing incredibly hard.

With an effort to breathe, she could feel light headed. All her thoughts were suddenly drifting away, like she had no more problems. She looked down and saw it grin with pleasure, the menacing teeth gleaming.

THWIP!

Mia gasped (or tried to) as she saw an arrow lodge itself right in the beasts throat. It loosened its grip, and dropped her to the ground with a thud. Choking and gasping, she looked up and saw the lizard dead and motionless.

"You ok?" She heard a boy's voice say, almost sounding as though it was all fun and games.

Cool! I wonder If thats Link that wonders if she's ok in the end? Might as aell wait for Chapter 3!

Who honestly would think it is him? (Heh heh)

You are a very good writer. Strong, active voice. But your dialogue needs a little work - say whatever you have your character saying outloud after you write it. That'll give you a sense of how it should sound - if it's weird coming out of your month, it's weird on the page. A good tip I got from a writing teacher in highschool.
