A note to all readers! I rewrote the first chapter completely, as the more I thought about it, the more sheepish I became about the horrible quality of it. Now this chapter is shorter, so I apologize! I find that my prologues tend to end up quite tiny.

The Complete History of Hyrule: Volume I

At the creation of the great land of Hyrule, the three Golden Goddesses understood at once that peace was not in the nature of their world, for everything must have its counterpart. Without these opposites there could be no balance. Without darkness there could be no light, without spite there would be no compassion. And so with the birth of Hyrule came conflict.

Din fashioned the red earth, Nayru passed her wisdom to the world, and Farore produced all life on it. Yet their creations could not be perfect things, for that was impossible. Their world would have order, but with it would have chaos. With beginning of life came the end of it.

Though these three sacred deities accepted the essential balance, before returning to their own sacred domain, they bequeathed a legacy to grant harmony to Hyrule...

They say history is but another story. It is a long and colorful story, but a story nonetheless. And with all stories, there is a hero. One particular tale tells of the Hero of Time, who is now only known in legend. The hero was but a boy, who, along with his Fairy, traversed time itself to save Hyrule from the Evil King.

Now, this is the story of what happened after evil was sealed away and Hyrule once again saw peace. The boy was sent back in time once again and his dearest friend left for reasons unexplained.

Ah, those reasons were unknown to the hero, but this isn't hisstory.

Navi the Fairy was in love with the Hero of Time. But love unrequited, as she thought, was worse than never seeing him who she loved ever again, for a relationship between Fairy and a Hylian was unthinkable. Rather than suffer that knowledge for the rest of her life, Navi would rather run away from it. And so with that assumption, she left.

Where she went for the next few years isn't important. It is where she ended up that becomes the beginning of our story. Navi saw many things on her journey, yet it was deep in the Lost Woods that she found something utterly exceptional.

The Lost Woods is a peculiar place. Many enter, yet few return. The forest contains more secrets then it lets go of, and if you were to wander within its foggy labyrinth, you might just stumble across one.

It was raining when she'd had to take shelter in the Lost Woods. For a Fairy, the water droplets falling from the sky were like a shower of rocks; it was heavy enough to ground Navi until the storm let up, lest she wanted to be battered to death or drown. Yet the Fairy remembered the last time she'd been in the woods, and that thought didn't comfort her in the least. She curled up on a dry stump and watched the stillness of the woods, waiting for the weather to ease.

That's when she heard the music. It wasn't Saria's song – she doubted the girl (woman by now, probably) would visit such a place in the rain anyhow – the song was more like the sound wind made as it passed through the trees. Yet she knew it wasn't – it was definitely a song. It was soothing, something nature itself would play. Navi felt the pull of the melody, a magnetism that made her wings flutter in eagerness to take flight and find the source.

and she flew until she came across a clearing. It was the Sacred Forest Meadow. However, in place of She was compelled find it.

Navi, in a daze, was drawn to the song. It was as if the wind was blowing her towards the origin, Saria was a stranger. A fair haired woman with the loveliest face Navi had ever seen. She wasn't a Great Fairy, Navi knew, but the woman was something similar – magical. Sacred.

"My child, you who are in a potent love, I have heard your heart's wish. Do you wish to change fate?" The woman's voice was as beautiful as her appearance, lilting, powerful – everything at once.

Love. She'd run away from it years ago – so why did the woman's simple reminder awaken a painful throbbing in her chest? Navi shivered and found she could only nod.

"If you so desire, I will grant your wish."

Could it be that easy? The woman smiled softly, as if knowing her thoughts.

"You doubt me, little one, yet you would take the chance if it held even the slightest of truth." The woman cupped the little Fairy in her hands. "Unconditional love is a priceless thing, yet wishes must have prices. You must give up something dear. In exchange for your voice, I will grant you your wish. But take heed, little one." The woman stopped and her eyes glowed with sadness. "You will be unable to tell of your secret, and if by the end he loves another, you will die of heartbreak before the next dawn."

Navi found she couldn't muster up the strength to respond, yet the woman knew her answer.

"So be it. You will be transformed into a Hylian. Now sleep, little one, you will wake up in the place your heart calls to."

A warm, pulsating light washed over her. The melody played, and the hushed sound of the woman's voice whispered in her ears. "Change your fate, little one." Then she felt no more.

A/N: I suppose I can only say: I had an urge to write a Navi-turned-human story. The premises will be loosely based off of The Little Mermaid, if you haven't already figured that out.

I have to shamefully admit I have barely played Ocarina of Time (I just passed the Great Deku Tree. That is all.), so any errors are the fault of my lack of LoZ knowledge. I'll be researching what I can, but I will be guaranteed to make stupid mistakes.

I mostly wrote this just because I wanted to write LinkNavi fluff. Guilty pleasures and all that. So please enjoy!
