The air was chilly. The coldness prevented Link from continuing his sleep. Why was it so cold, he wondered as he tried to search for his blanket. Unable to reach it he cursed in his mind. It must've fallen to the floor again. He sat up without opening his eyes. He felt the soft grass slightly tickle under his feet.

Grass?

He opened his eyes in the speed of light. He leered around him and saw a starry sky surrounding him. His jaw dropped to the grassy ground as he saw the hundreds if not thousands of stars glint in front of him. He slowly stood up. Without any further explanations to himself he started to walk away, he needed to get out of this place whatever it was. He walked for a couple of minutes until he found himself in the same grassy spot he just left from. He didn't even care to admire the beauty that surrounded him, he was simply not going to stay at this living hell.

He pinched himself as hard as he could. Only causing pain to himself he started to fear. "N-no. Link, calm down. This is just a dream. You are sleeping in your own bed right now, mother is preparing breakfast, father has his nose glued to the newspaper. They have definetely not been murdered.." He tried to convince himself as he shut his eyes tightly together trying his hardest to wake up from this strange dream, or should he call it, a nightmare, that seemed a bit too real.

After a good twenty minutes had passed, Link started to accept the fact that this, was indeed not a dream. This was reality. His parents were murdered, home town destoryed, and all alone he was sent to here. He inhaled and exhaled deeply as well as straightened his posture. He decided to explore this... planet, he had found himself in, atleast a bit.

As the stardust shone brightly among the stars above Link, he left from the grassy spot, he came across a small pond filled with orange colored carps and bright water, it was admittedly worth seeing. A cherry blossom tree stood tall and proud, as it's pinkish flowers slowly flew in circles down the tree as the chilly breeze reached the branches of it. A small white rabbit with yellow ear tops appeared from the tall grass behind Link. It sniffed his shoe before standing up to its backfeet sniffing even more. Link curved a slight smile onto his face as he stared the rabbit back into its hazel brown eyes. Maybe this planet wasn't so bad afterall... The flowers of various colors bloomed across it, small paths made out of rocks lead the way to the most influencal places.

Link decided to follow this rock path. He was anxious to find out what other beauty this planet beared. He soon came across a small tower of sorts, at first, he wasn't sure if he had the nerves to go up there, but hey - what's the worst that can happen, right? He's alone in this alluring planet, plus, it must be one gorgeous view from up there.

A slight nervous feeling climbing up his back Link walked the few large steps upward to the top of the tower. As he reached the top he saw a feminine figure stand at the railing looking far into the distance, seemingly in her own thoughts because she did not hear him entering.

Link gulped aloud and tried to think of something to say. "H-hello, fellow... Well, um, galaxy traveler..?" He sort of asked from himself as he introduced to the stranger.
Who however, didn't seem to appreciate being interrupted. She attacked him right away tossing him to the ground, pinning his head tightly against the stone floor with her shoe heel, she gazed at him arrogantly with a slight touch of some serious anger.

"Hey! Please, allow me t-" Link tried to shout at her but with no sight of succeeding as the stranger pinned his head against the floor even harder than before, causing Link excruciating pain.

"Silence." She responded coldly. "Give me one reason why I shouldn't kill you right where you stand."

"I- I'm not standing." Link tried to crack a dry joke.
