Zelda clutched her side as she raced through the dark castle. She was deep underground, in the dungeons, as it was dark and a rotton smell was finding its way to her frail nose. She breathed heavily and continued to run, trying desperately to escape her pursuers.

A stabbing pain now occupied the location her hand was placed upon. It tignled unpleasently, filling the 16 year old princess with an odd sensation. Blood trickled down her gloved fingers and her sapphire eyes watered. Only one thought remained upon her mind.

'Where is Link?'

She could feel the rumble of thunder as she continued to run. Finally, the girl had been cornered. With no place to go, the princess fell to the ground, unconcious from exhasution. Then all for the princess went dark.

A pair of deep blue eyes opened, only to take in the horrifying scene which surrounded her. Zelda's golden hair tumbled behind her, and over her arms, which were now stretched ruthlessly behind her. Her legs too hade been seperated and chained to a wall. The girl was a captive in her own castle.

She flailed her shackled arms mercilessly, and tried to escape the bonds. She kicked her fragile legs and tried to remove those chains as well...but it was of no use.

Her breath seemed to escape her body as a tall, large, dark figigure approached from the shadows. Her vision began to blur after having been given a blow to the head. The last things she heard were the tall man speaking to a minion of his.

"Take her to my chambers, and leave her clothes here."
