Link soon opened his eyes and was surprised to find where he was now. Fifty feet in the air above what looked like a garden. Link then felt gravity start pulling him down. Link screamed as was plummeting towards the ground. He was falling fast and he had no way of saving himself the only thing he could do was wait for the incoming pain.

*Crash*

Link groaned in pain as he felt his entire body in pain while this may not have been the first time hes fallen from a high place but they were all painful. Link groggily got up on his hooves and trying to ignore the pain he felt in his entire body mostly his legs. Link saw that he was in a garden with a bunch of strange statues of ponies. Link saw that the garden was connected to a large castle. Wherever Link was he knew he shouldn't be here. He may have sneaked into Hyrule castle and other castles during his journey but each time was for a good reason. Link decided he should get out of here before anyone can find him.

Link walked through the garden looking at many of the statues as he looked for the exit one of them made Link stop in his tracks and looked at it for awhile. It was a long snake like creature and for its arm and legs it had a different body part from a animal it also looked like it was afraid. Link decided he didn't need to worry about it so he continued to walk but didn't get far when his head started hurting. Link put one hoof on his head and massaged to try and ease the pain. Link then for a brief moment saw a image pop up in his head. It was of the same creature from the statue and a red pony. As soon as the image came it was gone and Links headache went away.

'What the heck was that?' Link thought to himself as the pain from his head eased away. 'That image it showed me the statue but it didn't look like a statue it looked like he was alive. Link stared at the statue looking for any signs of life. Maybe I just hallucinated that, probably best that I forget it.' Link shook his head and continued looking for the exit.

Link soon found a large doorway leading inside the castle he sighed it seems he had to go through the castle to find the exit out he just hoped they wouldn't throw him in a cell if they found him. Link walked through the castle looking at the interior. Link had to admit this castle looked better than any castle he has ever seen and he had seen many castles both inhabited and abandoned. As Link walked through the castle he soon began to hear voices nearby. Normally Link would have normally ignored it but for some reason he had a urge to go towards it.

Link arrived at a large doorway and heard the voices from before but louder and he soon listened in on what they were saying. "One-thousand years ago King Sombra a Unicorn whos heart was black as night took over the Crystal Empire." Link looked in the room and saw two ponies inside a lavender one and a large white one but what had his attention was the the image of a Unicorn. He had no idea why but that unicorn reminded him Of Ganondorf. Soon the image changed showing the Unicorn looking down at a large line of ponies all chained up in shackles the mere sight of enslaved ponies made Link angry.

He was ultimately overthrown and banished into the ice of the arctic north. Link continued to listen in on the conversation. But not before he place a curse on the Crystal Empire. A curse that caused it to vanish into thin air but as I have told you it has returned. If the empire is filled with hope and love. those things are reflected across all of Equestria, If hatred and fear take hold. Link then saw that the large pony eyes change to a different color and something shot out of here horn into the crystal. Link then saw the crystals' shadow spread across the floor and black crystals grew from the ground but soon were destroyed. Link didn't like the sound of what would happen if this Sombra took control of the Empire. He needed to do something to help prevent this from happening. Link turned around and was about to walk away until he heard someone clear their throat.

Link froze in place and slowly turn his head around to see a another pony with a blue coat and a mane that reminded Link of the stars he also saw that she wasn't looking to happy to see him. Link felt sweat fall down his face as he started at the large pony and only thought went through his mind.

Run.Link then started running away but then learned another problem about his new body he still didn't know how to run on four  hooves this caused him to fall down. Link then felt like his body was grabbed by something and he felt like he was being pulled up off the ground. Link then was looking into the eyes of the large pony.

         Link began thinking of a way to get out of here but knew it would be hopeless. He just hoped they would go easy on him.

         Who do thou think thou are sneaking into Canterlot castle and listening in on a private conversation between my sister and her student. She boomed in a loud voice which were torture to Links sensitive Hylian ears. Does thou have a explanation for thy self.

        What? Link yelled as he tried to get the ringing out of his ears. "I can't hear what you're saying."

Link saw that the pony blushed and soon felt the ringing in his ears go away. "We are sorry for that we did not mean to cause thy pain in you're ears while the Royal Canterlot Voice is loud we did not expect it to cause thou pain. She said before becoming serious again. "So explain thy reasons for being in the castle, we know that thou are not one of our servants or guards."

Link gulped he knew she wouldn't believe that he just appeared out of nowhere and fell from the sky. Link sighed and looked straight into the ponys eyes. "I think it would be best that I stayed in a cell for breaking and entering."

The pony was surprised to hear what Link said apparently she didn't expect him to admit to breaking into the castle and want to be in a cell for it. Um very well then thou shall be placed in a cell until further notice what is thy name criminal. the pony then noticed Link sword strapped to his side. I see that thou are also carrying a weapon. So tell us were thou planning to murder somepony.

"One, my name is Link, two this sword is for protection not murder." Link answered her questions. "Can I ask for your name."

Thou does not know of your own princess. She asked but all she got was a blank stare. Thou shall call us Princess Luna now we will take you to thy cell. Luna horn then began to glow brighter. Link looked back inside the room and saw that the two ponies from before were looking at both of them. Suddenly the area changed and Link saw that he was now staring at a cell. The door opened up and Link was placed in and felt his sword being taken away.

We will speak with our sister in deciding thou punishment. She then walked away his sword in her grasp. Link waited till he heard a large door close then he reached for his item pouch.

"And this is the part where the guards were suppose to make sure they took everything." Link said as he pulled out Farores wind. Link then disappeared and reappeared outside of the cell. Link placed his magic gem back in his item pouch and went in the direction Luna left. Link soon reached a steel door and opened it showing a small room with a desk and cabinets and a staircase going up. Link saw that his sword was on  the desk and went to pick it up.

Seriously every castle I sneak into barely have any guards guarding the place. Link then proceeded to climb up the stairs and began thinking what to do next.

"So from what i'm guessing this Sombra is out to take control of the crystal empire and spread fear across this what was it called Equestria. Well they might need some help in defeating him. They said they sealed him in the arctic north so my best lead is to head there but how." Before Link could have more time to think he felt a familiar sensation over his body. Link looked down and saw that his body was glowing gold again.

Link felt a drop of sweat roll down his face. Not agai-. Link didn't get a chance to finish when he was teleported again.

Link opened his eyes and saw that he wasn't high above in the sky but on a comfortable bed. Link sighed this was probably the one good thing he had going for him this entire day. Link looked around wondering where he was this time. He then saw a window near the bed Link got up and made his way and looked out. The sight was astonishing to Link he saw as the land before him was moving by at fast speeds and changing every second. Link opened the window and brought his head out to see that he was on a strange contraption and that it was moving fast. Link closed his eyes as he felt the wind hit his face it felt nice. Link brought his head back in and saw that no one else was in the room with him even though there were multiple beds. Link wondered where this thing was taking him.

Link pulled out his world compass and looked at it to see that it was currently pointing towards north.

'Perfect this thing is going north I just hope this Crystal Empire isn't too hard to find.' Link thought as he looked at the moving scenery. Jumping on the bed Link placed his hat over his eyes and dozed off until he reached his destination wherever it might be.

***********************************************************************************************************

Link woke up to the sound of something making a loud screeching sound . Link sat up on his bed and looked out the window and saw the large blizzard just outside. Link realized he must have reached his destination. Link opened the window and jumped out and landed on the platform. Link surveyed the area and saw a group of ponies walking through the blizzard, he immediately began to follow them. Link kept his distance from the group as to not be seen.

As Link followed the group he saw they were speaking about something but he couldn't really tell what they were saying. Link then heard the sounds of roaring in the distance that caused both him and the group to stop in their tracks. Link gripped his sword and surveyed the area looking for the source of the roar. Link then sensed something behind him, he turned his head and what he saw was a massive shadow with eyes looming over him.

Link stared at the shadow and steeled himself for the fight against it.
