Story
Brin's Background
Brin is a young scholar who knows many legends and tales. He has read many books and traversed far around Hyrule. He used to live with his elderly grandfather, Brell, in a small cottage in Hyrule Field ever since he could remember. His grandfather was a mage who knew powerful magic, but when Brin asked his grandfather to teach it to him, his grandfather always told him he was not ready. Unfortunately, he never got the chance to learn magic from his grandfather, because recently his grandfather mysteriously and suddenly died for unknown reasons. Brin is alone now, wandering Hyrule looking for new friends and new knowledge. He seeks to find one who can teach him to become a mage like his grandfather, and to ultimately unravel the mystery of the cause of his grandfather's death.

Quest for the Lost Pages
Shortly after Brin left home to find the mystery of his grandfather's death, he went to the North Castle Library in order to study ancient legends. One book especially intrigued him, a book called Ancient Legends from a Time of Chaos, Volume I. From this book he learned about ancient and powerful dragons who in their battles devastated the land of Hyrule. But the legend was incomplete - six valueable pages were missing from this ancient book. Angered at the thought of someone ripping pages from a book, Brin resolved to find these missing pages and complete the forgotten legend. So he enlisted the help of many friends who he had met in Hyrule, to name a few: Sovelis, Kasei, Dogura, and Azador, among others. Together they found five of the six pages. But Brin realized that to find the final page, he must venture into the depths of a once-great palace where scholars from around Hyrule came to study - the Temple of the Forgotten Legends. But now, this temple was decrepit and filled with monsters. And in that temple, Brin vanished and was never seen again...

<a href="http://desertcolossus.com/adventures/vi ... ?t=1340">A New Brin</a>
Months after his mysterious disappearance, on a dark, stormy night, a Brin-esque figure stepped into the North Castle Square. He wore a white cloak instead of a blue one, and his once-red hair was now completely white. Brin was a changed person. Legends and history no longer interested him, and he had been through an ordeal to terrible to speak of, so terrible his hair turned white under the stress of his new knowledge. He now knows the reasons behind his grandfather's sudden sickness and death, but he will not speak a word of it. Enlisting help from all of his old friends, he seeks to overthrow a mysterious power that threaten's Hyrule itself.
The Cursed Masks
<a href="http://desertcolossus.com/adventures/vi ... 1369">Part I: Into Another Dimension</a>
After <a href="http://desertcolossus.com/adventures/vi ... recruiting many able warriors to his cause</a>, Brin and company set off for a distant lake in the North Forest. Near the abnormally green waters of this small body of water Brin revealed a dark hole leading to an underground passage. Through this tunnel was a portal into what Brin said to be another dimension. Taking the lead, Brin led his friends into the depths of a maze of dark underground caverns far away from Hyrule in both space and time. As the party explored the dank, monster-filled caverns, Brin mysteriously kept tight mouthed about the reasons for coming here.
Solving mysterious puzzles and defeating horrible monsters such as Re-Deads, the party follows Brin to the world above. Along the way, Brin summed up the true nature of their quest:
"This dungeon is not our destination. It is merely a very annoying barrier in the way of our quest. The inter-dimensional portals are one-way, and they only work once. This was the only one I could find, but unfortunately, it led us to a cave full of monsters. Above our heads is a grand fortress consisting of a tall tower surrounded by a very thick wall. It is home to a tribe of savage barbarians who take joy in cruel punishments and black magic. When I vanished from the Temple of the Forgotten Legends, I accidentally discovered a portal that led to this world. Soon afterwards, I was captured by this cruel tribe. Only by luck was I able to escape and return to Hyrule, with two small bits of knowledge. One is that my grandfather's death was not an accident. He did not die of sickness. This group of evil warriors and mages knew my grandfather through some connections that I do not have time to explain. They knew he was a powerful mage, and they needed the blood of one such mage to seal the curse on their greatest weapon: Majora's Mask. They know about our alternate dimension of Hyrule, and with Majora's Mask, they plan to dominate both it and their home world, a place called Termina. They are a tribe who call themselves Majorans, and are hated and feared in this world of Termina where we now stand. I came here to avenge my grandfather, Brell, but I also came here to stop their devilish plans before they destroy this dimension and ours. We must destroy their mask and return to Hyrule!"
Brin and his friends continued towards the surface. Along the way, they picked up a strange, flat, circular stone inscribed with a fire-shape symbol. At first, they had no idea whatsoever of its purpose, and took it along with them. Ascending to the next floor, they were swarmed by hundreds of Keese from all sides, and Sovelis, who was among the adventurers, was killed in a brutal attack. After destroying the Keese, the came across a pit full of what looked like moss. As they found out after climbing into it, it was actually a deadly plant which attempted to suck them under its mossy surface. Once they had almost succumbed to the wrath of the moss-like stuff, Leth figured out that the mysterious stone could produce magical fire, and could burn away the plant. They escaped the pit and continued on through the perilous dungeon.
