Wind. Wind blowing like heavy breathing. Nothing but a book and the darkness it sits on. I open it, and nod in satisfaction. Perfect. I close the book, and make a quick prayer. This had better work...
I approach the publisher, explaining the story broadly. "A Legend of Zelda fan fiction story that which I would like to publish, as oppose to put up on the net. I go into much depth about possible curiosities." The wind blows a little harder in the office with no fan. Like heave breathing. The publisher looks at me with a frown of uncertainty, and says he will email some Nintendo people, to make sure this was okay. Nothing unexpected. I'd be surprised with any alternative.
Two days pass...
The snow phone rings. I answer quite slowly. Caller ID claims it is the publisher. Wind. I greet him with a kindly, "Hello?" and he tells me, "Well, Nintendo didn't like it, and I'll tell you why. The extra things you created could harm the storyline itself that is being made for the series, with specific curiosities and such that fans will pick out. You know how it is... Also, it is... not quite the exact theme that Nintendo would picture Zelda in. The name of the series itself advertises adventure, puzzles, and so on, but yours is mostly a conclusion marked with warfare campaigns, which doesn't spell Zelda at all. You could have made it into your own thing, eliminating all Zelda things, if you hadn't written so much on the internet - yes, we know about that. Just making it the conclusion tells fans, and even Nintendo, that this is how it has to end, without the authority of making it too official. A long time ago, back with the Shadow Prince and the Crystal Trap (when you were a little more than a twinkle in your dad's eyes), there was not much to work off of, making things like what you did more acceptable. There had only been 3 games made at that time. Now there are almost 20. You know, it just wouldn't work. I'm sorry."
Wind. Gust. Maelstorm. Awakening. I pondered what my dream had to offer, and found too much truth in it.
OOC: Hi! Yes, that was only a dream (and no, not something I made up), and I can't deny it. Therefore, I found no other choice but to make it an FF for the net. I'm disappointed a lot also because at my age $100 is a LOT of money (as I'm sure it is with all of you), and I could have made a quick buck from it. So I've come up with a better idea. For now, all you need to consider is that a)Age of Chaos will be on sites which provide FFs, and b) I will get a book out there before long. Just wait and see...

On another note! If you see a photograph of Philip Pullman, burn it in my vengeance!! >.>.
Now! Age of Chaos! a) The Music theme has been slightly altered!! So we may all sleep in peace now! And I'm considering to allow one of the characters to be gotten rid of, because everything she represents is in another character. And when visiting the Singletons' North Castle website, I found a fan art picture which has struck me like an arrow with a sad and complex plotline. ^_^ Yes, I believe RG Draug Layor put it all too well; the Writer's Overflow, and antidote for Writer's Block
.
Also, Lock and I spent an afternoon discussing his three characters, Stratus, Athint, and Garland. And man, were the results intense! You'll love it!
I'm also considering deleting my youtube video of 'Goodbye, Hyrule Adventure 2,' ya see ^_^". I get my friends even remotely interested in it, and unfortunately two or three have turned the other way because they googled it and it was the first one! Sad, eh? Lock said he showed one of his friends Hyrule adventure, and googled it because he forgot the name of the site, and... well... she wasn't too impressed. He told me he found, and i feel embarrassed ^_^. So yes, I thank him for that. When next I go on youtube i will delete it.
... As of yet, no one has filled me in on Phantom Hourglass. Please do ASAP.
I honestly hope you guys don't mind the T rating on the book for its intense violence >.>... If you are unwilling to see 300... well... as long as its not for the part with Gorgo and Leonidus, then please reconsider >_>. Okay, let's find an example; Nogare slices a Goryia's boomerang out of the air, and slices it down into a perfect bloody line of symmetry... uh... For the sake of **** SPOILER DETECTOR HAS BLOCKED A SPOILER ***** the enemy captures a character, and when not receiving answers, gives them something to eat; the taste of steel: he takes his sword, pulls back his/her hair, and shoves it down their throat with a crunch, and leaves it there as if a decoration for the dungeon. Uh... Kakura (I hope everyone knows him... Draug I know does) is fighting, and impales a moblin through the skull with his battle-ax, taking little care or note of him, and moving to the next, to slice off its head. Blood, killing, gore, blood, death, destruction, blood... and Chaos. The perfect name for the Age. Oh, and did I mention blood?
And I'd might as well note something; I did not invent the name The Age of Chaos. It is actually the official name of the age, based in the NES Legend of Zelda time (where it is written in the game). So I did not make up the name. I made up all other ages' names >.>.
And finally, I have something terrible and desperate to ask of someone... someone who will accept a spoiler - a big one. I need help from someone, and Lock doesn't worry about it because he's mostly concerned about his own three characters. I've gone into much depth about a few, but I figured out that switching them around a little bit could be logical. I need to ask someone who gives a crap about it. Give me a PM PLEASE if you're cool with that. Kasei's name comes to mind, but I've spoiled enough just for him/her/it to verify stuff for Kasei, and this has very VERY little to do with Kasei at all. >.>... Any volunteers?
That will be all for now!

PS: Oh! And I almost forgot something off the note of Age of Chaos. If you're into guy/girlfriends, read below. If not, you may leave the topic
. I don't have anything against you if you don't have one or don't stand a chance of getting one, but you might be... jealous I guess, or perhaps eager to get one but don't want to lose them too early on.
Okay, guys. Things for girls;
-Clean yourself up. Honestly, right now, smell your breath. Look in the mirror. The colour of your teeth. The style of your hair (can vary, but it has to be something; plain or made whatever. But don't obsess over it). Without this first step, picture the scenario; "Hi. How's it going?" *Must... politely... cover... nose...* You know. Tough. Mends time, but it's worth it. Like working in school year-round for that final exam. A lot of work for a small thing that's worth a dang.
-Small talk then personal stuff when you're actually friends.
-Like face more than below the shoulders *** IMPORTANT
-You don't get a girlfriend immediately. Love comes softly.
-What would you do for her? Spend Easter at her house? Die for her (careful with that, because if she doesn't like you back it's called obsessing...)?
-If she's mad at you don't be mad back (TRICKY! BUT DO IT!)
-Fights don't equal break-ups. They only equal a chance to take perspective, and to teach you tolerance and acceptance
-CHOOSE WISELY! A slutty girl flirts with you, you can play along (by smiling, or answering wisely), but keep your eyes on the nice girl who isn't out of your league (she's out there. Closer than you think...). Heck, for all you know, even if she's dating someone else, if they break up, that's your chance.
-Not taking your chances is like not diving off the highest diving board. Looks freaking scary, but you make the jump, and it's fun! And, well, if you land on your back, don't let that stop you from doing it again another time (out of the metaphor, with another girl. Again, if you stay with the same one after being turned away from, then that's OBSESSING!)
-Ask for her number once you are as comfortable to talk to her as you are with your own family. If it's before that... well, there's really no use.
-Do not - I repeat - DO NOT get a girlfriend so that you can see the looks on peoples' jealous faces. The pride of having a girlfriend is like saying they're no more important to you than the Wii. ... Okay, I have to be careful with that, they are both very important, but people come first. She's a person. She's not a tool or a toy! She's a person.
-You have to know when to say good-bye. TOUGHNESS!! If she's not good for you, there's really no choice. You'll know that when you call her name and she runs from you in the hallway, or she never calls you. If you don't break her heart, then all is well.
And girls. For guys:
-You do not have to be flirtatious to get a boyfriend. Just smile and talk to him. If he does something destructive, don't try any more. If you keep trying to get the same guy who likes another girl, get out from the bottom of the well; for all you know there's a guy who likes you and you're ignoring him. He could be perfect for you.
-If he's flirtatious, play along, and try to learn from him. If he's a pervert, say something kind that shuts him up (use your imagination
). If he's nice, become school friends, then friends you see regularly, and by then give him your number. Then you can call every so often, and become closer. Then dating comes.
-I won't have to touch on the acne stuff for girls because, honestly, it works either way; obsess over how you look, fine, if not, the guy likes you anyway. And if he doesn't, he's a Prince Charming, and will later be hard to please. And we all know what heart-break is like, when someone kicks you out of their life, like say your parents get divorced.
-
Notes for both genders:
-Don't forget your first crush! Find what you liked about him/her, and find that in other girls/guys.
-If your parents are sensitive about girlfriends and guyfriends, you know as well as they do that it's for the better (unless you just meet up to ignore that there is no ring on your left middle-finger, so to speak).
-Ask your parents how they met, or if they're divorced, ask someone else you trust and know about how they met each other.
-Double dating is evilness >_<! If your crush is doing that, you know the drill. If you are, and they find out, then, well, now you've ruined yourself, since both would know, and they'd spread the word about you, and it will be 100 times harder to get another honest crush.
-If you don't feel comfortable about leaning on their shoulder, then that's a bad sign. If you want to have that comfort, take the steps to get him/her to like you more, or for you to like him/her.
-If it didn't work out, the knife to the wrist isn't worth it. If you kill yourself over it, the one your meant for will not get you, and will not have as good a life with the one he or she gets. Even if that means you're both overly stubborn!
-If a second person tries to claim you but you already are 'taken,' and you really like the first one, tell them straight up, "Look, ______, I really don't like you. There's someone else who wants you and you're ignoring them." Don't say, "Take off, eh? Freaking stalker, leave me alone! Can't you see I like _____ better than you?! If you and I were the last people in the world, I would rather shoot myself than be with you!!" That calls for extreme upset-ness. They'll either kill themselves or attack your crush. It can get dangerous ^_^".
-No, I'm not saying that love at first sight is non-existent and is obsessing. Look at the story of Mary-Jane and Peter Parker. She's as popular as anything, and he's the biggest loser that even nerd girls hate. But they end up together. Just be careful of it, and if you like him or her so much, with so many similarities, and you can see the slightest sign of her liking you a little, either out of pity or kindness, accept it, but don't, DON'T, take advantage of it. THAT is obsession. Melissa following me down the halls because, "She was so in love with me," was her excuse, while I hated her to the bottom of my heart, and she doesn't know how to see if (somehow, and we all know there is) anyone else wants her (ANYONE).
-If you fight with your crush and they find someone else before you can make up, then you know the story, and don't have anything to do with them for a while.
-If you believe that the whole 'there is someone who's meant for you' business is superstitious, then you'd might as well say that there's no such thing as heaven. It is there in your heart, and if you don't want it there, then, well, it's not there for you. Imagine a life where you die and you just bluntly die. Ash. No spirit or soul. Logic, but there's something in it that makes you want to believe in something after it, and it comforts you, and when you believe it, it's true. Same with love.
-If you have a sibling of the opposite gender, and you get along fairly well with them, then just treat girls/guys like you treat them.
Why do I write this? Well, I no longer believe that love is only true in fairy tales, to say the least >.>... You know the song. It's a good feeling. Only a few months ago I would have tried to avoid girls after a fight with my crush. But I thought of her, and no matter what there's that feeling of emptiness without them if you're that close. You learn most of love when you make-up. The real meaning of love is devotion.
Okay, if you have further questions, you know the drill
. The PM button is only... *counts on fingers* 4 clicks away, if you include the submit button.
Later ^_^.

. Wow. Not thick, but not thin either. Just the way I like it. So, wondering about my next stage? It'll go like this...
. When writing my good copy, I should contact Nintendo, and ask if they'd be interested in letting this piece of work be published 
. Anyway, I'm excited also because back only in January the whole way of how I was going to do this was clear as a foggy day. Now it's as clear as a cloudless afternoon ^_^. I see what I need to do, and how I'm going to do it. I'm aiming currently to get the first book out by December of 2008. 
.) 
!!! Well, not Saber. But the rest are all bad. At least, on the bad side because of their choices or misunderstandings. So yeah, that's that ^_^.
