Legend of Sol (Modern Legend of Zelda)

Zalor waited at the door for Sol. First day of school and his best friend wasn't done. He knew his fiend was the prince and all but, Zalor thought that maybe, Sol took it a bit into the royal head of his. He sighed and then pulled off the gauntlet and looked at his black, crisped arm an hand. He sighed, recalling what happened that day.

Well that was the past, now he waited for his best friend. He got up and opened the door to see his friend training with that Josleyn character.

 

>Here I was at a loss as to what to post due to being suddenly thrown into a situation and then deciding to wait on Hope, only to find out she was waiting on me. Well here goes.<

"It wasn't the arguing that caused any sort of loss." Sol spoke as he brushed some dust off of him. "There's a lot going on right now." He glanced at Josleyn before quickly turning his head away. "Too much going on." Sol let out a loud yawn and rubbed his eye. As much as he'd hate to admit it, Josleyn was one of the few people who he could do something like that in front of and not worry about not being as presentable as a prince should be. "Anyways Josleyn, I can trust you to clean this all up? There's some stuff at the castle that needs my attention before I can actually be at school." Green bands of magic swirled around Sol as he teleported away with Farore's Wind before Josleyn could argue with him some more.

-----

Sol appeared in front of the castle gates just as they were opening up for a small squadron of soldiers. "What's going on Captain? Isn't it just a bit early for the mid-morning patrol?"

All the soldiers stopped in formation and saluted Sol. Once they did, the captain spoke up. "It isn't that Prince Sol. There have been reports of some Skull Kids appearing in part of the town. Somewhere near your school."

"What are the odds? Considering I was just over there. Although what are Skull Kids doing outside of the forest? This doesn't make any sense." Sol sighed. "Well then, I'm coming with you Captain."

"Are you sure that's the safest thing for you to do Prince?"

"I can manage myself in a fight you know. And besides, what sort of prince would I be if I didn't go about protecting my own people? I suppose that the stuff father wanted me to do will just have to wait." The troops all nodded to what Sol was saying. "And Impa, if you can hear this you're coming along too." Sol shouted out. If Impa, the one person who had an eye on Sol more than Joselyn did, was in earshot surely she would show herself to Sol. After all, what kind of bodyguard would she be if she simply let the prince walk into danger like that? "Let's go." Sol and the soldiers moved out and headed towards where the Skull Kids were reported to be.

 

"Of course not. I still haven't ranted to you about what's been bothering me lately." Sol replied to his guardian. They were a bit further ahead than the soldiers; this allowed them to have some semblance of a conversation without worrying about eavesdroppers. "Anyways, I may or may not have mentioned this to you before, but I've been plagued by all sorts of weird dreams as of late. Some are good, some are bad, none of them really make sense. They all seem to be connected in some way or another. The bad dreams... I suppose you could call them nightmares. They involve me being stared at by someone. I can't make out who it is. This individual is truly massive, appearing to be even larger than Gorons. He has no discernible feature save for his eyes. They are cold eyes, filled with hate for me. Sometimes in these dreams... These nightmares I also see Josleyn or Ace. Josleyn is always by my side, the eyes of the stranger filled with hate for her as well. Ace though, he's never in the same place twice. Sometimes he's by my side, other times behind me, other times in front of me. I've even seen him stand behind the unknown man in my dreams."

"As for the other dreams; the good dreams. Those are even more vague. There's always a dark storm that begins to cover Hyrule. But before it has the chance to consume all of Hyrule it is pushed back by a bright light from the forest. And from that light comes Josleyn. But in these dreams she is armed. Sometimes she has a Hylian Shield with her, while other times she has only a sword. But regardless of the shield, her sword is always the same. It is a finely crafted blade. The handle is a color somewhere between blue and purple and the hand-guard reminds me of a bird's wings. Near the base of the blade, a bit above the handle, is the symbol of the Triforce. I have a feeling it is a very important blade, but I have never seen anything like it. Not even a picture of it in any of the history books."

 

Zalor had walked off to figure out where Sol went off to, he was a bit distracted from waiting on his best friends. He walked across the streets and saw some kid running. He looked like he was having fun. He shrugged and then heard a scream as he walked around some more. He followed and heard the words, "Skull Kids!"...

That can't be good.

He turned around and ran back towards the castle, maybe Sol forgot the stuff he needed for school, then again he was of royalty so be would have his butlers send his supplie shut still, he had to tell Sol that supposidly, Skull Kids are in.

 

>Since a couple people have decided to converge towards Sol, I shall poke fun at you all by deciding that the distance from the castle to where everybody was in the beginning isn't a distance that can be covered with a brief two minute walk.<

"I never pegged you as an eavesdropper Ace." Sol sighed as Ace came up and talked about the dreams. "Although I must commend you for your speed. Considering the distance from where we were last together and here and the short length of time that has passed you do move fast. As for the dreams though, I did consider the sword Josleyn to have to possibly be the Master Sword. The only issue I find with that is that there are no actual physical descriptions of the sword to be found anywhere. Only that it is the sword of evil's bane and has been used to defeat evil in Hyrule's time of need. But because I have no proof of the sword in my dreams being the actual Master Sword and not another blade, I will refrain from calling it as such. In addition to that, you telling me that you have similar dreams to me is rather troublesome. I hope that it is all coincidental and I would rather Josleyn not be plagued by the same dreams. Whatever may come, these dreams being prophecy or simple dreams, I will do what I must to keep Hyrule safe."

"Those are big words coming from such a young prince." Impa smirked, keeping her thoughts on the dreams to herself for the moment.

"It is my duty as prince of Hyrule. Speaking of duty, I might as well inform you of what we're doing in case you were interested Ace. There are reports of Skull Kids running throughout the city. Considering the strangeness of the idea of Skull Kids leaving the Lost Woods we are going to investigate. You're welcome to join us but I do ask you to refrain from any action until we arrive to the location and I can make a proper decision on the validity of the reports."

 

Zalor kept running towards the the castle, but then soon decided that school at the moment was more important at the moment, the situation could be easily taken care off by the time he was already at the castle. So he decided to just walk to the school, hopefully Sol would remember about school.

"YEESH, Why was this training area so far away from the castle? Haven't they heard of location location location? Jeez," Zalor muttered to himself as he walked to the school.

 

As Sol, Ace, Impa, and the soldiers continued through the city they finally found what they were looking for. Something about the size of a child ran right into Sol. At first glance it was indeed a Skull Kid. But Sol simply crouched down and helped up whatever bumped into him, essentially ignoring his own safety.

Upon closer inspection this 'Skull Kid' was in fact a regular kid. Sol sighed as he brushed some dirt off of the child. "Why are you covered in dirt and wearing rags like that?"

"I don't know. Me and a couple of kids were playing in one of the back alleys when there was a sudden burst of smoke that completely covered us. When it finally got blown away we all looked like this. As we walked out of the alley a woman screamed Skull Kids and started a panic."

"I see. And how many kids were you with?"

"There were eleven of us all together. When the woman yelled Skull Kids we all thought that there were actual Skull Kids behind us. We all got scared and ran away."

"So it really was just a prank." Sol sighed as he reached into one of his pockets and pulled out a handkerchief. He rubbed more of the dirt off the child, stood up, and took off the straw hat the child was wearing. "There. Now you won't be mistaken for a Skull Kid. Go home and wash up."

"Thanks mister." The child smiled before running off.

Sol tossed the hat aside as he turned to the captain. "Well it seems like it was a false alarm captain. Just a stupid prank to make some kids look like Skull Kids. Well, the kid did say that there were ten other children to whom this happened to. I want you all to search for these children and see to it that they all make it home safely."

"Sir!" The soldiers all saluted before leaving to go find the children.

"That was a waste of time. My apologizes for wasting your time like that Ace. I'm certain there are other things you'd rather be doing than falling for a prank like that. If there was any other business you had to attend to, please do not let me keep you from it. I myself have some things I must do at the castle before I can actually get to class. I suppose I shall see you later." Sol turned back towards the castle and began walking towards it, figuring Impa would quickly follow him.
