The Rebellion of a Hero

LInk rode quickly through the forest taht was the border between Hyrule and Terminia. He was excited to tell Princess Zelda of his trip. Just as he was about to reach the edge of the forest, Saria, his life long friend whom had just been reawakened as the Sage of the Forest, appeared. He stopped quickly so as not to hit her.
"Link! It's terrible! Hyrule is once again being threatened!" She said. Fear filled her voice. He looked down at her slightly concerned, seeing how, Hyrule was ALWAYS being threatened.
"You must go to another dimension, a totally different world, to defeat this evil. You have been set up with a master who will train you how to fight so that you can defeat the evil," she added. At the confused expression on his face she laughed.
"There's not much you have to do except pull the Master Sword up and it will do the rest"
"It's in the temple of light right?" he asked.
"No, we had to move it... It's over there in the clearing" she said pointing. Link turned and looked.He could JUST make out the shape of the blade.
"Oh... ok, thanks Saria!" he said as he urged Epona towards it. As soon as they reached the clearing LInk jumped off and went up to the magical sword that would take him to a different dimension, a new world.
He hesistantly grasped the hilt and yanked up. In a swirl of colors and spinning scenery, he landed on his butt at the feet of a man dressed red. This man had shaggy blonde hair and clear blue eyes. His expression was cold and stern. This man was the great lord Raphael.
"Hi!" Link chirped. "I'm Link!"
"Link, the Hero of Time?" Raphael asked raising an eyebrow.
"That's me!" Link answered beaming.
Raphael rolled his eyes to the heavens and turned muttering.
"I can see where THIS is going."
Link looked at him and tilted his head to one side.
"Well, come on... We better get inside before it rains." Raphael said.
"Um.. alright.." Link said standing and following Raphael.
Once inside a grand palace Link looked around and about dropped his blade. Raphael kept going.
"Come, I'll show you to your room." he said. Link snapped back to reality and nodded.
"Uh ok..." he said following him. Suddenly there was a small giggle from behind a pillar. Link looked towards the piilar and saw a flash of red then it was gone. Link shook his head and then continued to follow Raphael. After many doors and JUST as many stair cases, Raphael opened a door to a small yet cozy room.
"This is where you shall sleep, You shall NOT talk to anyone except me and Rosalin, the cook. DONT'T touch ANYTHING unless told to do so. You will wake up every morning and help the cook with chores, after that is all done, you may do as you please as long as they pretain to the rules. Now, you must rest. I will see you at a later time. Good night" Raphael closed the door and left Link standing there. The rain began to pit pat against the window. Link sighed and sank down onto the bed. "Link, Hero of Time. And this is where he ends up" he said and he layed face down on the bed with a groan.
