Saving the Twilight.

~Chapter 1~

Prolog

    A small girl was left alone in Hyrule castle town. Her parents were nowhere to be found. She was getting scared and worried. This little girl's name was Mina Armour. She was part of the Sheikah. A clan that is sworn to protect the Royal family. Mina was training to become an assassin. She was taken to Hyrule Castle to speak with the king.

     "What is your name?" The young princess asked. This young princess was Princess Zelda. She sat on a small throne next to her fathers. King Hyrule kept his composure.

     "M-My name? Oh! My name!" She stuttered a bit then flushes for being loud in front of the Royal family. She was only ten. Mina was talking to the princess of Hyrule! "My name is...Mina Armour." She paused again.

     "Well, it's very nice to meet you, Mina." The princess said. Mina nodded her head slowly. King Hyrule stood up and walked over to the small blonde girl.

     "Mina, you will be staying with us until we find your parents." He told her and placed a large hand on your shoulder. "You will be safe here." He added. The small girl nodded her head. "Impa, please come in here." A woman with white hair waked into the throne room. She had a cold stare. Mina met the eyes of the woman. She almost wanted to cower and run away, but something inside of her said that this woman was nice. She had the cold stare due to the role she had in Hyrule. She was the leader of the Sheikah. Mina felt herself swallow thickly. She bowed her head to the woman. 

        "You are one of the Sheikah children, yes?" Impa asked. The small blonde girl felt herself stiffen up. She soon relaxed and nodded her head. 

        "Yes, ma'am." She responded. The older woman smiled gently at the young girl's shyness.

        "If I may, your majesty, may I take this girl under my wing?" Impa asked. The king agreed to this request. Mina looked surprised and happy. 

        "I am going to be training with Impa!" She explained, happily. Impa had crossed her arms over her chest. A small exhale left her as she smiled.  Impa took Mina to one of the rooms to get her cleaned and into a new set of clothes, They were like Sheikah clothes. The girl smiled happily and did a little twirl. She giggled and smiled up at her teacher. The leader smiled down at her, and they went to the courtyard.

        Night came fast and Mina sneaked out of the castle. She went around Castle Town. She went to the market area and stole a slice of bread, it was stale from being left out, but she didn't care. She sneaked back into the castle. She bumped into Impa. The girl let out a small gasp as she looked up.

        "Where did you go?"

        "Nowhere.” Mina said rather quickly. The Sheikah leader sighed,

        "You stole something didn't you?" Mina looked down in shame, but nodded her head. "Hasn't anyone told you that stealing is bad?" Mina nodded her head again. She could feel the piercing, red eyes. "Then why are we stealing? Use your words."

        Mina took in a deep breath. "No one was watching...and the bread was left out." Impa sighed,

        "That does not give you a valid reason to steal something. You are not supposed to be stealing." Mina handed the loaf to Impa. "Hurry off to bed." The blonde ran off to her bedroom, not wishing to be scolded any further. 

-------------------

        A few years passed by. Mina took her studies very seriously. She was training with Impa. She growled underneath her breath and dropped her weapons.  It was more of a toss than a drop. She was heated and frustrated. 

        "What is the matter?" Her teacher questioned.

        "I'm not good enough!"

        "You are getting better with every passing day." Impa complimented.

        "I'll never be as good as you!" Mina cried out. She started to cry frustrated tears.

        "Mina, you must calm down." The woman kept her cool during her students' backlash. 

        "MiNa YoU mUsT cAlM dOwN." The girl impersonated. Impa furrowed her brows at the girl's behavior.

        "I will not accept this type of tone, young lady."  

        "My parents were killed, Impa!" Mina yelled. She has never raised her voice with this woman. "And what? You just sat there and let it happen?!" Tears streamed down her face. "It's your fault! You're the reason I'm like this!" 

        "I never had to take you in."

        "And I wish you didn't." Impa had enough with the girl and took her weapons.

        "You will be getting these back when you learn some respect!" 

        "Excuse me?! I earned those!"

        "Not any more. Go to your room."

        "You're not my mother!" Mina retaliated. The leader glared at the girl. "Fine! Whatever!" She left the courtyard and went back to her own room. She grumbled the entire way there, she cussed out the goddess'. Mina heard a knock on the door. She sighed. "Who is it?"

        "It's Zelda." A small, yet strong, voice responded. 

        "Doors open." The princess opened the door. 

        "What happened?"

        "None of your business." Zelda sighed softly. Mina laid down on her bed. She had a look of anger. Zelda sat down next to her. 

        "Want to talk about it?" Mina shook her head no. "Well, I'm going to stay here until you tell  me what's up." The brunette smiled down at the blonde gently. After a few minutes of silence, Mina explained to the princess what happened. A lot had been relieved off her chest. "Feel better?" The princess intrigued. Mina nodded her head in response. "Good. There's going to be a ball later if you wish to join."

        "Is this to meet someone? I'm done with dating."

        "I know because of Am--"

        "Do not say her name." The princess sighed softly.

        "You can't hold a grudge forever."

        "Watch me." The princess let out a small laugh. 

        "Offer still stands for the ball." Mina shook her head no for the offer. "Suit yourself." She got off the bed and left the room. Mina stared into the ceiling. She stayed like that for what seemed like hours. A small frown was plastered onto her face. When will her life begin?
