Writing The Legend of Zelda: Heart of a Dragon

The Legend of Zelda: Heart of a Dragon

Disclaimer: I don?t own Link, the three Goddesses, Zelda, or anybody that appears in the Legend of Zelda video games. I do own Jaieah. If you take the characters in the video games, that?s called fanfiction. If you take Jaieah, that?s called plagarism, and it means I will be taking your butt to court.
Note: There is some strong language in this story (which will be bleeped), as well as some potential idiotic references to other video games or other topics on OB. It is, after all, written by Sheikahmon. There is also the death of a few good guys.
In other words, if you don?t like it, DON?T READ IT!
Additional note: The names of the Goddesses are in all caps. If this makes reading hard for you, I apologize.

She was calm. In the face of the return of the ancient threat, this one was calm. She had to watch over her nest. She had to ensure the survival of at least one female of her species, even if it meant her own death. The males would not be needed. But a female had to be present to keep the species alive.
She watched the Ancient Evils burn the land, horrible illusions that pretended to be the greatest members of that species. The Hylians, decieved by the ancient Evil and the false images, destroyed all the members of the species themselves. One Hylian, though, managed to destroy one of the Evil Ones, and then he destroyed the leader of the Evil Ones, banishing them all to the Dark Realm.
The Hylians would take her for an Evil One. She had to find a way to keep the one female in her clutch safe so that that one could continue the species when she herself was sealed away in the Dark Realm to die.
?DIN, NAYRU, FARORE,? she implored the aid of all three Goddesses, ?Please help me keep this little one safe, that she may rescue all my species from the Ancient Evils, should they ever return. Help her to grow up strong, wise, and courageous, that she may keep to goodness and so that the Hylians learn that she is not an Evil One.? Her prayer to all three Goddesses completed, she turned to each one in turn. ?DIN, please, ensure that my daughter has power enough to withstand the most awful of tortures. NAYRU, help me to know that I am doing the right thing. FARORE, grant me the courage to face the Dark Realm, and the Evils within, with a smile on my face.?
Her large ears twitched. She heard the war cries of Hylians as they assembled in huge groups to destroy her.
?Power, wisdom, courage, mighty Goddesses three,? she prayed frantically,
?Help defend the child that I shall never see.?
She stared imploringly at the egg that contained her only daughter, as though expecting it to glow or something, for a long moment. Then, she slowly walked down the cliff to her doom. She moved calmly, regally, as if she was a queen that deserved to be showered with praise and gifts, but there were acid tears slowly burning dark swaths down her long face.
*****

There was silence in the caveren for a long time. The Hylians, however, knew where this nest was. The eggs would not be safe for long.
The three of them knew all of this.
?(censored) Hylians,? said the first, tossing a firey red mane over her shoulder. ?We should strike them with lightning when they get close to that cave!?
A pale hand touched the redhead?s shoulder. ?Nonsense. Power is not a solution for many conflicts. Ganon turned evil with the mere touch of your essence, dear sister.? The bluenette?s hair swirled gracefully down her back. ?We should hide the young one from everybody for a long time. Then, she will be better equipped to face the world and the threat of Evil Ones and Hylians.?
The third cocked her head, creating some interesting angles with her green pigtails. ?We could try both. We hide her, and let our temperamental sister defend us from any with thoughts to destroy her. My gifts would be needed for both parts of that plan, though.?
The bluenette smiled. ?We are supposed to all work together. Your plan sounds the best yet. We do not have very much time, however, so we must hide her quickly, before the Hylians come intent on destroying her!?
The trio nodded and vanished.

The female egg was still sitting peacefully in the cave, as if unaware of the sacrifice her mother had been forced through or the fact that the Hylians were indeed coming with awful intentions for her.
Fire suddenly swirled up through the bottom of the cave, forming a roughly humanoid shape. ? ?Tis safe for now, sisters,? the flame-figure called in a booming, feminine voice.
A lithe form sprang from the small spring the mother drank from. ?I am here.? Its voice had the same sonorous quality of the fire-being?s, but without the seeming danger.
?I wish I could take on such a substantial form,? a third voice, as loud as the first two, lamented. It had a green glow for a body, and yet there was a fierceness somewhere deep within.
The water-spirit gestured to the female egg. ?We must take her and go. Now.? It sank into the stone floor, which dissolved as though the being was made of acid.
The green figure pushed the egg into the hole and sank in with the water-being.
The fire-form was the last one left. It swirled and whirled around, creating a firey tornado, which strew stones everywhere.
When the fire-tornado vanished, the hole, the female egg, and all three spirits had vanished.
*****

?She is awake in there!? The green-haired one called to her sisters. ?She will be hatching soon, and then where shall we keep her? We cannot hide her like this forever. She will soon become as big as a house! Almost as big as Hyrule Palace!?
The two others came running. ?Do not worry, courageous sister,? the bluenette said. ?We shall hide her fairly well. I think there may well be a way to persuade your own handcrafted hero to care for her.?
The redhead shook her head. ?I know the Gerudos might take her in, but she would be known for what she was all throughout Hyrule in a matter of days! Mistress Know-All is keeping all her precious plans to herself!?
?No more!? The bluenette laughed. ?Let me explain??
?It may work,? one said, bobbing her green pigtails.
?May I bless her first?? the redhead quiried. ?I know this sounds cheesey, but I?ve grown rather fond of her.?
They all blessed the little unhatched female, bestowing upon her the courage to defend what was right, the power to battle what was wrong, and the wisdom to know the difference.
At last they said their fond goodbyes to the egg.
?Be brave,? said FARORE, Goddess of Courage.
?Be wise and good,? wished NAYRU, Goddess of Wisdom.
DIN, Goddess of Power, was the last to bid farewell. ?If anyone tries to kill you, just get in there and kick their (beep).?
?DIN!!!!? The other two scolded.

... That?s about all for now. Let me know if you want me to keep writing this. If not, don?t post. I?ll figure it out in about a week.

[color=indigo]Hmm, pretty good, but there's just one thing... The Three Goddesses probably wouldn't interfere for something that small. The only time they ever interfered in the games was when the whole land was in danger of being destroyed by Ganon. And that's the whole land, everyone and everything, not just one species. But whatever, it doesn't really matter, since you can do whatever you want with the story. I just like to nitpick stuff like this, heh. :toothy:

Overall, it's not bad. You should keep writing. :)[/color]

That was not a comment I was expecting. This was actually a spur-of-the-moment post, I was not really expecting anybody to like it. But, then again...
Um, Dragons constitute a pretty major species in my book. Why wouldn't the Goddesses intervene? Oh, well. I'll see what I can do about adding more to this story. It's the first one people have actually liked.:toothy:

Sheikahmon, This is a very funny story. I would like to see more.

[GinnyLyn]

Yes, I agree. I definitely like seeing the Goddesses with some personalities. ^^

Aside from Valoo, who is a protective god in Wind Waker, I really haven't seen many good dragons. This new one could be a protective spirit of some sort too, so Hyrule would need it just as much as anyone else, in the long run if not in the short, my dear Dessy Lu. ;)

More. NOW.
