The rolling hills were alight, brighter scarlet than a midsummer sunset, deeper crimson than the countryside in late autumn. The origin of this furious red light was not so benign, however. A man runs, with utmost desperation, his young wife trailing just behind, clutching her newborn to her chest with utmost urgency. The cries of anguish chasing them, quicker than darkness. Smoke fills the air,

  • <continued> choking out the blazing sun, as if it were dusk on this woeful early summer afternoon. The village lays in smuldering ruins, not a living soul to be found. A young man in dressed in verdant garments stares at what was once his quiet childhood home. The emptiness within filling his heart to the point of agony. Everything he had once held sacred is now bereft of him. Suddenly, out of

  • <continued> the corner of his blurry vision, there shines a faint glimmer. With the sparse resolve he still grasps onto, he walks unsteadily forward, his feet clumsy from the shock and grief of his inexplicable loss. However, he shuffles forward, toward the faint glimmer. As he approaches he notices that it is partially obscured by the blackened ruins of what was once his life. He passively

  • <continued> swipes aside the chunks of ash, and, inexplicably, recognizes the source of light. With his determination bolstered, he clutches sword in his left, and shield in right. Almost miraculously, his families greatest heirlooms, ancient sword and shield, once wielded by ancestors long since passed, remaini virtually unscathed from the inferno that had spread through his once childhood abode.

  • <continued> These were the arms of the legendary knights of Hyrule, this young man's ancestors. Something deep within his soul, something he cannot explain, shouts to him 'FIGHT'. The sounds of war cry out as soldiers loyal to the crown of Hyrule, are vastly outnumbered by an unknown force. They steel themselves for the incoming enemy forces descend upon them. Through the glow of war, the valiant

  • <continued> Defenders of Hyrule stave off wave after wave of wicked fiends. All the while losing one man then another, their numbers dwindling, despite initial victory. The battle lines clear, not one soldier is willing to turn his back on his fellow man, they brace themselves for a prolonged siege. One question yet remains: For how long can they holdout against this barbarous horde?

  • <continued> Daylight has since receded as night has crept in. Hyrule castle looming on the immediate horizon. Having since left Kakariko village behind, the young man clenches sword in hand as he follows in the wake of destruction left by the marauding invaders. Inside he knows this to be a fool's erand, however, something within him urges him on. He knows that he descends from an ancient line of

  • <continued> knights that once protected the realm of Hyrule. This warrior's veins surge with the blood of heroes. With this knowledge, he increases his pace, wishing to meet those who have destroyed all that he loves in furious combat. His face stoic and unmoving, changed from endless sorrow into grim determination, for he knows, he shall avenge the fallen. Even at the expense of his own life.

  • That was beautiful! I loved it! Good job!

  • Well, thank you. I wrote it on the spot last night before I retired to bed. I did not plan it, however. At this point it seems few are interested at all, and most did not notice it, or do not care. That was only the beginning of course, however, seeing as there is little to no interest, I may just leave it there instead of continuing further. Not one person has left a message, other than you.

  • Nice story!

  • Potempkin this is amazing! You have so much talent to write this! I haven't read it all yet, but so far I'm astonished.

  • It was short, but nice to read through. I know the character limit on Miiverse is a little limiting. It probably won't get as much appreciation here as it would elsewhere due to what's left of the community, but it was really good, especially considering it was unplanned!

  • Thank you Maya, and thank you to those who responded and left messages here. This was only to be the beginning of the story, however, it seems pointless to continue it now. I know it is/was not very well done, however, I appreciate your interest just the same.
