~~~~~~~~A/N!~~~~~~~~

This story takes place 200 years after Ocarina Of Time, when everyone forgot about Vaati. There's a new Link and a new Zelda. I wanted you to know because this story does not have Ganondorf. It has Vaati and Shadow Link (Shadow for short!), though he comes in around chapter 4 or 5. Enjoy!

Chapter 1

"Hey, mom! Can I go to Castle Town to visit Link and Zelda, please?" I asked. My brown eyes always sparkled when I asked that question.

"Sure, Aerona. You should take the shortcut through the forest. Here's some money so you can stay somewhere for the night." I sheathed my wooden sword put it around my waist. As I ran to the forest, my brunette hair flew behind me, my deep purple dress did the same. I pumped my arms to go faster, but my legs wouldn't allow it.

I stopped to catch my breath, then started again. I began walking toward the shortcut, but I lost the trail. Pretty soon, I began to see what looked like ruins. Something drew me towards them. A force acting from the ruins. They looked like a sword shrine. I heard in my head,'Release me, for I do not deserve this prison.'

"How do I do that?" I wondered what the sword was. It was definitely not the fabled Master Sword, it was in the Temple of Time. The blade looked sharp, the handle is gold and swirled toward the hilt, which had a green gem circled in gold. As the handle switched to the sword, it went around and the end sharpened like teeth. In the middle was an eye.

"Touch the sword and say 'release the prisoner.'" I moved toward it, unsure of what to do. The voice sounded kind, but why would he be trapped in a sword anyway? What did he do that was that bad? I got closer to the sword. The closer I got, the more the voice egged me on.

I touched the sword and said,"Release the prisoner." Instantly, my body began to feel weak and tired. I felt gusts of wind and heard laughter as my body fell back and my eyes closed.

I wake up and it's almost sundown. 'I should get to Castle Town,' I thought. I tried to move, but my body was too weak.

"So you're awake?" the voice I released said. He was standing in front of the sword. He wore a purple tunic with red shorts that went a little past his knees. He had red sandals that had straps around his legs. His belt was gold with a red gem in the middle. He had a purple cape and his skin was very pale. His eyes were a deep red and had a scar under the left one. The right eye was covered by purple hair. His hat was purple with a gold trim and a red gem in the middle.

"Who are?" I was too weak to finish the sentence.

"I am the Wind Mage, Vaati." He knew what I was going to ask. "Your name is...?"

"Aerona." I finally was getting my strength back. I sat up against a tree. He began to get closer to me. I blushed when he was about a few inches away from my face.

"Your eyes are beautiful. You will be of great use to me." I gulped. 'What did he want from me?' My heart was beginning to race as he got even closer. "Where were you headed?"

"Castle Town."

He smiled an evil smile. "I will take you to an inn there. You need to sleep." He put a finger on my forehead and spoke in a language I had never heard. He picked me up and my eyes closed.

Pp92: What y'all think?

Aerona: I liked the cliffhanger!

Vaati: That was good. You could've described me better though. :-|

Pp92: Sorry, Vaati! I'm bad at describing story villains!

Vaati: ||||o_o

Aerona: Can I do the disclaimer?

Pp92: Go ahead!

Aerona: All Zelda characters go to Nintendo. My character belongs to purpleprincess92!

Pp92: Next chapter: Vaati infiltrates the castle!
