In the beginning the world was nothingness. Three Sister Goddesses came upon the face of the world. Din, the Goddess of Power, created the land. Then, Nayru, the Goddess of Wisdom, brought the land into a natural order. Finally, Farore, the Goddess of courage, created all life upon the world.

The Goddesses reigned in peace for an unknown period of time, before their power was required elsewhere. The left the world under the protection of their created daughter, the Goddess Hylia, and with her a physical manifestation of their powers, power, wisdom and courage, in the form of three golden triangles known as the Triforce.

A dark god rose and sought the power of the Triforce. The Goddess Hylia incarnated herself in the form of a human girl, a princess, and called a chosen hero to rise up, with a mystic blade, created from and with the spirit of a goddess, the Sword of Evil's Bane. The two banished the evil, but knew that the immortal evil would one day find a way to return. With the power of the Triforce, the princess and the hero created themselves a cycle of reincarnation. When the darkness returned, the princess and the hero would return, and right the wrongs caused by the dark god.

Now, as the races of man and elf clash from manipulations of darkness, the time of the princess and the hero has come again. But will they be able to provide a link between the two worlds, or is it too late to prevent a great war?

The Revival

Chapter 1: His Father's Son

It had been a couple weeks since Prince Callum, Rayla the Moonshadow Elf Assassin, and Zym smuggled themselves into Xadia. They had been able to pass through several small villages on the outlying parts of the magical half of the continent with either Rayla sneaking in alone to get supplies, or, to her annoyance, Callum making his own 'Elf!Callum' disguise in a similar manner as Rayla's 'Human!Rayla'.

It was early in the morning, in the cave that they had sought shelter. Zym and Callum was still asleep, yet Rayla, thanks to her training as an assassin and spy, was always an early riser. So, she settled around their small fire and was preparing a small breakfast for the duo and dragon hatchling.

She blinked when she saw Callum becoming reckless in his sleep. She frowned as this was not new, but still unpleasant. He had had horrible nightmares since his attempt at Dark Magic to protect the dragon and her…

But there was a change to the script this time. He started whistling. And a tune that oddly seemed familiar.

"You messin' with me, Callum?" Rayla asked, thinking he wasn't asleep.

But when he jerked awake, sitting up quickly with confusion on his face. "You ok?" Rayla asked, honest concern in her voice.

"Just… a dream I've been having lately. Xadia is supposed to be full of arcane magic, maybe it's causing it…" Callum rubbed his face as Zym stirred awake as well, releasing a grumping half bark/growl.

"You were whistling a song before you woke up," Rayla mentioned, cocking her head to the side.

"I was?" the young mage-to-be replied curiously, "I remember a song. It was slow and soothing… also I remember three triangles."

"Hm. We're headed into old Kakariko Village next; they have some old religion from even before the split of the continent. If I recall, it's centered around three triangles or somethin' like tha." Rayla stated, "There's no way for ya to move around it so we have to deal with tha stupid disguise of yours …" She said, tossing him her cloak.

Callum broke out into a grin, and grabbed her cloak throwing it on. "Aye, Lassie! Ah am tickled pink to see a fellow elf again!"

"Spare me…" Rayla rolled her eyes and picked up Zym, "Let's get a move on."

The duo packed up their things and began making their way to the ancient village.

"The Sheikah priestesses are very observant," Rayla whispered to Callum as they approached the ancient temple in the center of the city. "Let me do the talkin'."

"the symbols…" Callum said, his eyes widened as he took in the village. "I… I recognize them… I've been here before…"

"Ye couldn't have, Callum," Rayla hissed back, "now be quiet…"

"Greetin's" Rayla said, throwing up a hand and smiled at the group of priestesses. "We're a travelin' through, trying to get to Sky Roost Mountain to make a delivery to the Queen. But we're in need of rest and supplies. We'll pay of course but would like permission to rest for the night."

"I am Impa, high priestess of the Sheikah," The eldest woman stated, her old eyes focused on the cloaked Callum. "Who's child are you?"

"My parents? They were exiled when I was young, I doubt…" Rayla started, but Impa held up a hand.

"I was speaking to your companion," Impa said, motioning to Callum, "Come now, step forward, and let my old eyes look upon you."

"Callum…" Rayla said, slowly reaching behind her to touch her blades.

"Come now, no one is going to harm you or your human friend," Impa smiled, and both travelers' eyes widened. "It is a poor disguise. But If he is whom I believe, disguises will not be necessary for much longer."

Callum pulled back and hood and stepped forward. And to his amazement no one seemed surprised, nor raised weapons to attack or defend. "Who ARE you?" he asked, staring at the high priestess.

"Hm, I told you whom I am," Impa smiled, "Now the question of the hour, is who ARE you? Who is your mum?"

"Her name… her name was Sarai…" Callum stated.

"So she has passed…" Impa sighed sadly, "And her sister, what of Amaya?"

"What? How do you know my family?" Callum asked as he and Rayla exchanged surprised looks.

"Because this is your home, Child," Impa said, "I knew the moment you walked into the village. There wasn't a single doubt in my mind. Other than the hair color and your ears, are the spitting image of your father. You ARE Link's boy."

To Be Continued…

short start to the chapter, but this plot bunny went rabid as I finished watching the first two seasons of The Dragon Prince on Netflix. If any of my regular readers here haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend it! until next time, more to come!
