Song of seagulls is a fanfic of a story/game I fell in love with told from a different angle... the summery isn't all that impressive, and it's somewhat misleading.

"It all started with a bird swept down from the skys, one boy went on a journey to save his sister and the world.  Months passed before thier reunion.  What happened during this time?  THis is Aryll's story of Forsaken Fortress"

The opening chapter brushes up on the scene offered in the summery, detailing the flight of the Helmroc King while Aryll fights him every second of the way.  By chapter 3 that tone ends.  The focus shifts off of Aryll's trials and onto the new world she's in.  And it is a new world, a place of darkness... and of hope.  Aryll makes friends with a Shadow chu-chu she dubs "twee", defys her Moblin guards, teases the Dark-knight Wolfkaunos;  an aged Wolfos warrior finds himself ankle deep in "pups" while the human children he is to supervise shake his perceptions of the world; while on the other end the Moblin's plan a sweeping betrayel.

Normally stories focus on heros, in the begining chapter survival and adaptation will be the bulk of what goes on for Aryll. In the end though, I doubt there will be heros.  Aryll will be a witness of a world few understand and none willingly tread. She will looking into and through the eyes of the traditional Zelda "Monsters", and what she sees in her innocence may surprise, delight, or perhaps disgust.

Song of the Seagulls is more then Aryll's captivity, it is a deep look into the mechanics of the Forsaken Fortress, and one child's story of how she survives it.
