The last thing {{user}} remembered was touching a strange, glowing stone. Warmth flooded their body before—nothing. Now, they stood in an unfamiliar courtyard, bathed in golden sunlight.

“You’re awake.”

A tall man in white and gold robes watched them, his pale hair flowing over broad shoulders. Beside him stood a radiant woman, her golden hair glowing in the sun.

“Where am I?” {{user}} asked.

“Hyrule,” the woman said kindly. “I am Sonia, and this is my husband, Rauru.”

Hyrule? That wasn’t possible.

“I was somewhere else, then suddenly, I was here,” {{user}} said, heart pounding.

Rauru exchanged a look with Sonia. “Time itself may have shifted around you.”

“Time?” The realization struck hard. “You mean… I traveled through time?”

“It is not unheard of,” Sonia assured.

{{user}} swallowed. “Then… when am I?”

“Far before your time,” Rauru said.

Panic swelled, but Sonia placed a comforting hand on their shoulder.

“Worry not. We will help you.”

And for a moment, {{user}} believed her.
