Worlds Apart
By Goddess Rinoa/Miss Lydia
Chapter One

We all know of the planet Earth and of the people on it. That story does not need to be told today.

There is also a land far away, clear in another dimension, called the kingdom of Hyrule. It's a mythical world where sorcery and fencing reign.

This is a story of the two completely different worlds colliding. The story of two people of destiny from the two worlds working to achieve a similar goal. A story of sorcery and the blade fighting together. A story....Oh geez, I'm really saying too much. I know what you're thinking: "Just start the story already, you fool.". Okay, then, here I go.

"Long ago, in a far off land...." No...wait.....that's the oldest starting line in the book. Let me try again.

"Hey Mooooooommmmm!!! Is dinner ready YET?"

"Yes, yes, it's coming! Be patient. Go get your brother!"

"What are we eating today?"

"Roast beef and rice."

"All right!!"

The little girl with long brown hair bolted out of the kitchen with a growling stomach to fetch her brother from upstairs. She was quite short for her age of ten years, and never had to worry about bumping her head on the low stairway ceiling of their small house in Michigan, although she did trip going up a lot.

"Hey Gordon," she called after tripping on the top step, "the food's ready! Come eat!"

Her little brother Gordon, six years old and also small for his age, ran out of his room, nearly running the girl over to get downstairs for first dibs on the roast beef.

"Hey! No! I get the food first! I'm older!", the girl yelled after him as she gave chase down the staircase.

The two made their way back to the kitchen, each grabbing the other's clothing in an attempt to get there first. Gordon almost made it, but then the girl grabbed his shoulders, shoved him to the floor, and jumped in first.

"Yes! Victory! Who's number one?" the girl cheered as she bounced about, clearly happy about winning the race.

The mother of the two, Diane, spoke up immediately. "Honestly, Lydia, you're ten years old. Don't you have better manners than that?"

Gordon began to get up.

"Sorry, Mom," Lydia said as she used her foot to push Gordon back down, "I guess I'm kinda selfish when it comes to food."

"As I said, don't you have better manners?" Diane replied.

Lydia made a face, then made a run for the dinner table, but Gordon beat her there.

"NOW look who's number one!" Gordon said with an ear-to-ear smile. He had a cute little pumpkin face when he smiled like that.

Just then, the man of the house came in.

"Hi Greg," Diane said.

"Hi Daddy!", the two kids said.

 

Once everyone was calmed down and sitting at the table, Diane passed the food around.

"How was school, kids?" Greg asked.

"Imth wmus jumth phmine." Lydia replied.

"Swallow your food."

Lydia finished chewing and repeated herself. "It was just fine. But it's all so BORING. I haven't had any real excitement in my life for some time now. It's the same old thing everyday. Get up, go to school, come home, do my homew.......Uh oh! I forgot to do my homework!"

With that she got up and ran upstairs, taking her beef with her.

***

It was nearly 7:00 as the sun started to show over the eastern horizon of Hyrule. Around 7:05 the sunlight started to make its way into the Kokiri Forest. It took a left at the path and went up the ladder to a small treehouse. Inside sound asleep on the bed was a boy.

The boy was around ten years old with thick blond hair. He was wearing a green Kokiri tunic and boots. A little fairy flew into the treehouse, not making a sound. As the sun peeked into the little house the fairy suddenly started flying around, stopping over the sleeping boy.

"Okay, Link, wake-up call! It's morning! Gotta get up!"

Link rolled over and fell out of his bed.

"Ooowww..... geez, Navi, look what you made me do."

"What I made you .....Oh, nevermind. It's morning."

"Yes, but it's so early," Link said through a yawn. "Why do I have to get up at this hour? The sun's barely up."

"We have somewhere to go today."

"Where's that?"

"Princess Zelda wants to see you."

"Yeah? Wonder what she wants. She's already told me to gather the spiritual stones. There must be something extra she wants me to take care of."

"Well, you'll never know if you don't get up off the floor and get moving. Hyrule Castle is a half-day's walk from the forest. That's why we're leaving so early."

"Alright then. Let's go."

As Link made his way down the ladder, saw a green haired girl come out of the house next door.

"Good morning, Saria!" he called.

But Saria just gave him an odd look.

"What's the matter?" Link asked.

".......Are you sick or something?" Saria asked him.

"Wha..? Do I look sick?"

"It's barely dawn and you're awake. That's not like you at all. Who are you and where's Link?"

"Har har. Actually, Navi tells me that Princess Zelda wants to see me again, and the castle is a good ways away from the forest."

"Oh! You shouldn't be late for an appointment with the princess of Hyrule! Get going!" Saria said as she pushed Link toward the forest's exit.

"Okay! Alright, I'm leaving! I'm leaving already!"

Link began running to the exit, but stopped suddenly. Turning around, he said "Hey, why are you up so early? You must be the sick one. Or maybe you're just crazy."

As Link ran out of the forest, he dodged a rock Saria threw at him.

 

Zelda was in the castle courtyard as always, looking at the colorful flowers. She had asked Navi the day before to bring Link to the castle and was beginning to wonder what was taking them so long. She remembered what she had told him the first time he came to the castle. She knew Ganondorf would attack Hyrule, so she asked Link to find the three spiritual stones. He already had one. She wondered if he'd obtained either of the other two yet. She had so far successfully protected the Ocarina of Time, like she was supposed to, and hoped that she could keep it up until Link returned with the three stones.

Zelda heard faint footsteps behind her. "Hello, Link, I'm glad you made it," she said as she turned her head. "I hope the guards didn't give you any trouble."

"Nah," Link replied. "They were as half-dead and unobservant as they always are. What did you need to see me about?"

".......Are you sick or something?"

Link made a face. "Saria asked me the same thing this morning," he said. "So I guess I'll reply the same way. Do I look sick?"

"No, but you're getting right to the point. That's not like you at all. You always dawdle and change the subject."

"Guess I'm just not myself anymore. Anyway, why did you want to see me? If it's about the stones, I've only gotten the Spiritual Stone of Fire. I still need the Water stone."

"That's wonderful, Link, but that's not why I needed to see you."

Raising an eyebrow, Link listened to what the princess had to say.

***

Looking up from her math homework, Lydia had a sudden weird feeling. It was like one of those paranormal and spiritual things she had no belief in whatsoever, like those things you see on Unsolved Mysteries. That's why it was weird. She began thinking to herself.

"How odd. I've never had a feeling like this just pop up out of nowhere. A feeling that's telling me.....something's about to happen. I'm about to get that 'real excitement' my life needs. Something big's gonna happen. I just wish I knew what. I'm probably gonna lose sleep over this. No, no I won't. It's just a stupid feeling. Nothing's really gonna happen, girl. Just forget it."

And after dismissing the thought, Lydia got back to working on her long division.

***

"Say what?", Link asked.

"Yes, it's true." Zelda replied.

"No, no, that wasn't a surprised 'say what?'. That was a you've confused me 'say what?'."

"Oh, well, I'll run over it again. Ganondorf has obtained the Sorcerer's Rune, and that's trouble for not only us, but all of Hyrule."

"That's what confused me. What's the Sorcerer's Rune?"

"The Sorcerer's Rune is a sorcery tool. It's a magic amplifier. Simply, what little sorcery Ganondorf currently has will be greatly amplified, making him very powerful and even more dangerous than he was before."

"So that's what you needed to tell me? Okay, point taken. Understood. Filed. But we can defeat him when we get the Triforce right?"

"But what if he finds out what we're up to and attacks before we can obtain the Triforce?"

"We fight him."

"No. I know you're a strong fighter, but we're still young. We'd get creamed."

"Oh. So what should we do?"

"We need someone to give us extra help."

Link raised an eyebrow. "Who would be strong enough to help us if he does attack?"

"I did some research," Zelda replied "and I found an old legend in a book in the library. Do you know what 'Earth' is?"

"Vaguely. I heard it's some remote planet in the middle of nowhere in another dimension."

"Well, 'remote' isn't a way to put it, really. It's a lot bigger and far more populated than Hyrule, but it is in the middle of nowhere."

"Okay, what about this 'Earth'?"

"The legend I found in this book," she said as she took a big book off of it's place on the windowsill, "says that there's a person of destiny on Earth. Someone with special powers hidden deep inside that he does not know about. Powers that need to be awakened. When the powers are awakened, he will become a powerful sorcerer. I'm sure this person can help us."

"Wait, you mean we need to fetch some guy from a legend that probably doesn't even exist from somewhere in another dimension??"

Zelda was flipping through the pages of the book, looking the legend over again. "No....wait....I'm wrong. SHE will become a powerful sorceress. My mistake."

Link looked surprised. "Not only do we need to fetch some guy from a legend that probably doesn't even exist from somewhere in another dimension, but this person is a GIRL?"

Link received a stiff poke in the ribs for that one.

"And exactly WHAT is wrong with girls? Huh? Huh?" Zelda asked as she repeatedly poked Link.

"Gah! Stop it! Quit quit quit!" Link yelled through a fit of laughter. "Nothing's wrong with girls! Nothing, okay? I'm just a little surprised, that's all."

"Anyway, yes, there's a GIRL on Earth somewhere that can help us once her powers are awakened."

"Let me guess. That's where I come in."

"Right, Link. That's where you come in."

"I figured."

"I did some more research after I found this legend and tried to find a way to get you to Earth. I even asked my father about it. Both the books and my father say that the royal family's treasure, the Ocarina of Time, can transport the player through dimensions. I found something else in this book that really puts the icing on the cake: the song used for the transportation."

"You mean you found out how to do it AND found the song in the same book? I don't like it. It was too easy."

Zelda rolled her eyes and reached into her bag. Out came a blue ocarina, obviously the Ocarina of Time, and she handed it to Link. She then flipped the pages in her big, dusty book until she came to the song Link needed.

"Here's the song," she said, "Learn it."

After studying the song for a few minutes, Link looked up. "Okay, no problem. So I just play this song and I'll get transported to Earth? That's all well and good, but how will I know who this person is? You said Earth is highly populated, and I need to find ONE person."

Zelda studied the pages of the legend. "The legend says that the player of the ocarina will be transported very near the person of destiny."

"So I'll just land on this person's doorstep or something? That's also too easy."

Zelda just shrugged. "I honestly don't know. Take Navi with you. I'm sure she can help you find this sorceress."

Link then got up and started heading toward the courtyard's exit. "Okay, I'll go as soon as I prepare. I'll find this sorceress and bring her here to Hyrule faster than you can take off that funny-looking hat you're wearing!"

As Link made his exit, he dodged a rock Zelda threw at him.
