Hello everyone, and welcome to my new story! For those of you who follow A Lot Will Change After 100 Years. You would know that story is most likely nearing its end. BUT fear not dear readers. I have been inspired to write another Serina X Revali fic. This deals with more of what went down before the Calamity appeared. and it will also deal with after.

Disclaimer: I do not own Zelda or its characters.

Serina belongs to me, and Jayne belongs to my friend gina . marie . (I'm not about to add the long number that goes after her username.. :/)

NOW, Without further ado.. Let us begin a new adventure.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... I NOW PRESENT:

Before and After

Chapter 1 – The Beginning

In the large land of Hyrule, there have been stirrings of an ancient evil. An evil that has been asleep for a very long time. Across the vast fields and caves of Hyrule, strangely, more monsters have occurred in larger groups rather than small ones. When bokoblins usually go about minding their own business, they have been seeking out to cause trouble in small towns, almost as if they're being ordered to do so.

Word of these strange events has gotten around, and Hyrule has taken it as a sign that this evil may be rising once again. And it was up to the research of Hyrule's King and Princess to figure out how to prevent this.

Deeper investigations uncovered the four ancient Divine Beasts: Vah Ruta, Vah Naboris, Vah Rudania, and Vah Medoh. The King's researchers also discovered the Guardians. All of these were automated soldiers used in Ancient Times to assist older generations in defeating this sleeping evil.

They decided to use these old relics to their advantage.

It was a very exciting day in the bustling Castle Town. It was announced that four Champions were chosen to govern the Divine Beasts, and an appointed knight was chosen to protect the Princess. Two other women would aid the group as they possessed their own special talents that would prove useful to the group of Champions.

In a large, elegant room of Hyrule Castle, three women sat discussing further events. One girl with long blonde hair and green eyes, adorned in Hyrule's royal blue robe, sat in front of a mirror combing out her hair. This girl was Princess Zelda herself.

Two other women stood behind her. One with long black hair that faded down to blue and grey tips, wore a grey short sleeved shirt and dark jeans. A sword was attached to her belt, and a bag hung at her side. Her jade colored eyes sparkled with a vibrant and firey personality behind them.

The other girl had waist long white hair and blue framed glasses sat in front of her sparkling grey eyes. She wore a light blue v-neck short sleeved shirt with a black tank top underneath, and blue jeans. A sword was attached to her hip as well, along with a quiver full of arrows. A pouch hung at her side, and a sturdy and elegant bow hung on her back.

"Daruk, the Champion of the Gorons suggested we introduce the appointed knight with a ceremony of sorts," The Princess turned to face the two women behind her.

"That sounds like it would be a good idea," The girl with the white hair noted.

"Yeah, it'd give everyone a chance to get to know each other before we set out on our adventure," The black haired girl smiled.

"I agree Jayne," Zelda addressed the girl, "I'm only a bit skeptical about the appointed knight."

"The researchers found that he has the bloodline of the Hero of Old and if that is true, he is the only one capable of wielding the Master Sword." The white haired girl adjusted her glasses.

"I do not doubt your research Serina, your knowledge hasn't failed us yet," The Princess spoke, "I only question his proficiency with the sword and whether he has the courage to carry out this task."

"Well, Your Majesty," Jayne spoke, "Serina and I have known Link for a long time, we don't doubt his confidence at all."

Zelda nodded but decided to change the topic, "We will have the ceremony for the purpose of introduction. And soon after that, we shall set out to each town to introduce the Four Champions to their designated Divine Beasts. We will then determine which Champions you two will accompany when we all need to part ways."

"What are all their names?" Jayne asked.

"Well, we know your friend Link, is our appointed knight." Zelda said, "Princess Mipha of the Zora will govern Divine Beast Vah Ruta. Daruk of Goron city will govern Divine Vah Rudania. Urbosa of Gerudo Town is assigned to Vah Naboris. And Revali of Rito Village is assigned to Vah Medoh."

"Oooh, Serina you said you've visited Zora's Domain and Rito Village right?" Jayne looked at her friend.

"Numerous times, yes." Serina nodded, "To research the Shrines located in the villages and other research purposes."

Zelda smiled at Jayne's sudden curiosity of the Champions and Serina's travels. She stood up and grabbed two long strips of light blue cloth and handed them to Serina and Jayne.

"The blue of this cloth represents you two as Champions. Wear them with pride, once others know of the group of Champions, the blue cloth you two, along with all of the other Champions, will be wearing will become recognized by many." Zelda said.

They both bowed their heads and accepted the blue strips of cloth. Serina wrapped the long strip of cloth around her wrist and tied it off. Jayne tied her strip around her head as a headband.

"I suggest one of you go find your friend, Link, all of the others should arrive at our designated Ceremony location here shortly." Zelda said.

"I can do that." Serina smiled.

"Alright then, Jayne, will you come with me to our location?" Zelda asked.

"Yes ma'am." Jayne smiled and followed Zelda out of the room.

Out in the training yard, wearing his designated blue tunic, the Hero himself was swinging the Master Sword around in defensive and offensive ways to improve his swordsmanship. Serina entered the training yard and stood a safe distance from the Hero.

She smiled as she watched his dedication. During his months of training, Serina hadn't seen her close friend at all. Her heart warmed noticing his confidence had climbed a bit since the last time she saw him. Deep down she was extremely proud of him, and she wasn't afraid to show it. She was happy to see him now that his training was coming to a halt.

"Looks like you're doing an impeccable job in your battle against the air again." Serina commented on his swinging the sword at nothing.

Link stopped swinging his sword and turned around to face his friend. He sheathed the sword and smiled.

"I feel as though I've improved a bit." He scratched the back of his head.

"A bit?" Serina questioned, "You've proved yourself worthy of becoming Zelda's appointed knight. Even though your confidence dwindled."

"You and Jayne threw me into it," He chuckled, "I didn't think I'd prove useful."

"Jayne and I did," Serina smiled, "And no matter how much you denied it, you still succeeded. So, I think the words 'I told you so' are in order."

He playfully sighed in defeat, "Go ahead."

His sapphire orbs gazed into her eyes as she smirked.

"I told you that you could do it!" Serina ran into her dear friend's arms and hugged him tightly, "Congratulations Mister Important Hero."

Link secured his arms around her waist and picked her up, spinning her around.

"Thanks," He gently set her back down, "It's good to see you again."

"I'm glad I got to be the first to see you. Jayne has been complaining about how long your training has taken." Serina laughed.

"I'm going to get an earful from her to aren't I?" He asked.

"Of course," She smiled, "Is that even a question?"

"No," He chuckled.

"Anyway, the ceremony is about to start. We need to meet Jayne and Zelda there. We're going to meet the other Champions." She said.

Link noticed the blue cloth around her wrist.

"So you're joining us then?" He asked.

"I'd be surprised if Zelda didn't want me tagging along." Serina scratched the back of her head.

"You're just as important as the rest of us," Link smiled down at her, "Anyway, where to?"

"Follow me." She said.

Link complied and followed Serina out of the castle to where Zelda had instructed them all to meet. After the Ceremony, they were all to begin their vast adventure.

WOOO! That's all for Chapter 1. I hope you all stick around for more, because I plan on uploading the next few chapters relatively quickly. So, as always, I hope all of you enjoyed, and stay tuned for the next chapter! Until then, Farewell.
