(Act.) Courageous Blood (T)

Foreward

Greetings ZU Fan Fiction folks. This is my first official fanfic on ZU, so I hope that as I progress through my story I get some great, constructive criticism and grow as a writer. The story begins 9 years after Gannon was defeated, and Link hasn't seen Zelda for a long time. Enjoy.

Courageous Blood
Action
Rated T, for blood and violence


~Chapter 1~
After The Storm

The night sky dissipated as the sun returned to its domain once again. Its golden rays crept over the tallest trees of Kokiri forest in the east. A summer breeze flows over the Hyrule fields, the wild grass under its warm sway. The green earth thankfully drank the last rains of Spring, and Summer in Hyrule had begun on this perfect note.

It was an understatement to say that Hyrule was at its peak. Nine years had passed since Link had first slain Gannondorf. Nine years since darkness fled from Hyrule. Its economy flourished like summer orchards, as trade routes were established from Lake Hylia to Goron City. The kingdom shrank as more and more villages were built in the miles of open fields, on the edges of the Lost Woods, and by the Zora river bank. Additionally, Castle Time was the mecca of commerce just as before.

Link and Zelda, having grown nine years older from their original youth, were already very famed. Link was knighted Hyrule's champion as soon as he turned 16, and Princess Zelda was learning the responsibilities of the throne. It was because of their duties and expectancies that they no longer spent time with each other and were not as close as they were just after The Black Years. But finally, 9 years to the day after those dark times ended, Link was given a new assignment involving Princess Zelda. When his mentor asked him to meet him at the Zora F-Inn, he was all to eager to oblige.

(( Okay, there's a smidgen of chapter one. Comment away, I'll be back tomorrow afternoon. Good night, and I hope you enjoyed my first chapter. ))

"Oh, sweet! You mean I finally get to see her again?" Link shouted. The whole room must have heard him.

"You seem very excited about this assignment. I didn't know you felt that way about the princess." replied Councilman Mattire. Mattire was the councilman personally in charge of Link's schedule, and turned out to be a caring mentor to him.

"W-w-what makes you think that?" Link stuttered, cheeks red as 20 rupees. Gaining his compsure, he spoke again, "Well, can you just tell me what I have to do?"

"Of course. Princess Zelda is going on a pilgrimage to the seven temples to pray for guidance. You know that ways of all the Hylian Temples, so I want you to escort her."

"Very well Mattire. I shall be off to Hyrule Castle immediately."

And so, Link left the inn and ran off to Hyrule Castle. Yet as fast as his legs could take him, it seemed all too slow to be finally seeing Zelda again. When he reached the gates, Link decided he was feeling up for an old game of his.

He quietly climbed the vines, jumped off the ledge and rolled, subduing the landing impact and any noise along with it. He crept up the hill just inbetween two lazy guards, ran past the ones guarding the moat and finally climbed up the loose stones on the ledge. Jumping into the moat, he swam down to the bars and climbed up onto dry ground. "And now for the fun part..." he whispered to himself. He crept into the door, which led to the same place as the little stream. One by one, he counted the guards walking patterns and sped right on past them. As he rounded the last corner past the longest hedge, he spotted a familiar face. But perhaps it was two?

((There you go. Chapter One is finished. The chapters vary in size and this one is probably as small as it will get. Please leave your comments! I crave some comments...))
