Chapter… One I think… Technically it's the second chapter, but the first chapter was the prologue so this should be Chapter One.

Link woke up on top of a snow-covered mountain with a beautiful blonde woman leaning over him.

"Are you okay?"

"Uh… Zelda?"

"What? Zelda? No, my name is Sophitia. You must still be feeling a little woozy."

"Where am I?"

"You're at the Eurydice Shrine."

"Where is that? Is it on Earth?"

"Um… Yes, you're on Earth…"

"Woo-hoo! I got to the right place!"

"You're… not from Earth?" Sophitia asked, with a skeptical look on her face.

"No, I'm from a world called Hyrule. I have come to this world to destroy the evil sword called Soul Edge."

"Well, in that case it seems we've got similar goals. Come with me."

Sophitia led Link further into the shrine and called out into the air.

"Hey, Hephaestus! Are you there?"

Suddenly a giant blacksmith appeared.

"Back already? Weren't you just here a few minutes ago?"

"That must have been my sister…"

"Ah, it was your sister. You mortals all look the same to me. Well, now what she said makes sense."

"What did she say?"

Hephaestus was going to answer, but was interrupted by a new voice.

"Hephaestus!" the new voice yelled. "Why are my new thunderbolts taking so long?"

"Sorry, Zeus. I've been very busy."

The owner of the voice, a big muscular man with a white beard and white robe, appeared.

"Well, hurry up. I need those thunderbolts."

Suddenly Zeus noticed Sophitia.

"Well hello there, beautiful. What do you say we ditch these guys and go have some fun just the two of us?"

"I'm married," Sophitia answered.

"Well, so am I," Zeus responded. "That has never stopped me before…"

"Dad!" another voice interrupted, this time female. "Are you flirting with mortals again?"

"Oh crap, it's Athena…"

Like the two other deities before her, Athena appeared out of thin air.

"You know how Hera gets when you cheat on her."

"Yeah, but she can't do anything to me."

"But what about all your illegitimate offspring? Remember Heracles?"

"What about him? That turned out okay in the end. He ascended to godhood and married his half-sister, Hebe."

"Yes, but before that, Hera tried to kill him in a number of different ways."

"That was a long time ago… What were we talking about?"

"Stop screwing around with mortals!"

"Fine. Yeesh, you virgin goddesses are so uptight," Zeus said and vanished.

Suddenly Athena noticed something about Link.

"Those ears. You're not from this world, are you?"

"No, I'm from Hyrule."

"Hyrule… Oh, that's where Nayru's from!"

"You know Nayru?"

"Yeah, we met at the Annual Wisdom Deities' Conference in Asgard. She's such a nice person. I should call her. I haven't talked to her in a while… Oh, but my thoughts are drifting. What brings you to Earth?"

"I'm here to destroy the evil sword called Soul Edge."

"Hm? Hephaestus? I thought we told you to see to that sword being destroyed?"

"I did," Hephaestus answered. "Sophitia here did a fine job destroying the sword. But you know how it is with evil relics. They keep coming back."

"Oh yeah. Well, I guess it will just have to be destroyed again. Green guy, what's your name?"

"I am Link, hero of time, wielder of the Master Sword, savior of Hyrule…"

"Oh, you're Link? Nayru has said so much about you. I'm sure you'll be able to complete this task. Take this shield. It was once used by the famous Earth hero Perseus. It can reflect not only light, but also magic."

"Thank you, great Athena. I promise I'll take good care of it."

"I'm sure you will. Good luck," Athena said and vanished.

Now that he was once again the only deity present, Hephaestus decided to speak.

"So, what was it you wanted?"

"My sister," Sophitia responded. "What did she say?"

"Something about her sister having a family now… I'm not sure. I wasn't really listening. Anyway, she took the Omega Sword, so I guess she ran off to destroy Soul Edge."

"Oh no… It's way too dangerous for her. I have to stop her. Can you make me a new Omega Sword?"

"Didn't you hear what Zeus said? I have to work on his thunderbolts!"

"Fine, I guess Rothion could make something for me."

"Who?"

"My husband. He's a blacksmith."

"Give him this holy ore," Hephaestus said and gave Sophitia some holy ore. "He will be able to make great things with this."

"Thank you, great Hephaestus."

"Now be on your way and let me work," Hephaestus said and vanished.
