Big thanks to all those that read my first fanfiction. Greater thanks to TheBigOne, TheZeldaQueen, and SkyKly for the reviews. I don't own Zelda, I only own Alex Dark, and the flute.
Chapter 1 ~ The Boys without Fairies
It's was a year since I was taken from my loved ones into the past by the mysterious vortex. In that time, I hadn't found anything about an aging spell to make me my original age or a time travel spell to get me back to my life as husband/king with my beautiful wife/queen. "I wonder what they're doing with themselves?" I said under my breathe.
Alex, do you hear me? I heard a voice say "What! Who's there?" Alex? It's your brother Dark. "Dark? If you are Dark then tell me what my wedding date with Zelda is." I said. May seventeenth, same day as your birthday. "Dark, it is you! But I thought that we couldn't communicate through time?" That vortex took you to the past but it still kept our connection as brothers together, and as long as that connection is never broken, we can communicate freely. "Wow, never thought of that." I said. One year ago,, Zelda heard your message to her but never told anyone until you for telling her to take care of us. He said sarcastically. Anyway, he paused. Yes I got a hold of Alex, and yes he is in the past but it sounds like he was transformed into a kid. Oh oh, tell him I say hi and I love him and I can't wait for him to come back to us. Alright alright Zelda. I heard in the background. It kinda sounded like a phone call. Did you hear all that Alex? "Yeah I did. Tell her I say hi and I love her and going through puberty again is pure hell!"
Zelda! Alex says hi, he loves you too, and going through puberty again is pure hell. Ask him if he still has the triforce on his hand. Alex do you still have the triforce mark on your hand? "No I don't, but I have a mask that has eyes with the triforce in them. Should I try it on?" Yeah put it on and tell me what happens.
I looked at the strange mask. It looked sort of like the older me and the fierce deity mixed. My face, deity's hair and ears, I had no idea what would happen when I put it on. I lifted the mask to my face and something attached to the mask, attached to my face and pulled the mask on. The pain was so intense that I fainted and the next thing I know I woke up as my old self except my hair was blue and my ears were pointed. "Dark," I paused. "I think I can use much more powerful magic now since I put on the mask. I might just be able to, I'm gonna try something real quick." What happened to your voice and what are you gonna try? "This!" A mirror appeared in front of me and Dark was in it. "Woah! How'd you do that?" He asked. "It was in a lot of movies on Earth. Tell Zelda to come here." "Sure. Hey Zelda! Come here for a second."
"What do you want... Alex!" She shoved Dark out of the way to see me. "What happened to your hair? Also how have you been back in time?" "First, I put on the mask that was with me when I came to this time. I think it has the triforce in it. Second, it's been weird going through puberty again. Well today was little Link's birthday. He just turned ten and tomorrow we should set out on our journey. Oh yeah I've felt this strange presence as if someone has been watching me here. It actually feels familiar somehow." "Well that has to be the person that summoned the vortex for you. They must need you for something." "Alex!" I heard in the forest. "Zelda I need to go I'll go to the forest temple tonight and call you but for now, I love you, and make sure Link and Dark don't get into any trouble. Bye." "Goodbye, I'll see you tonight."
I took the mask off quickly before Link found me and reverted back to my child form. "Hey Alex, what are you doing?" "Nothing. What's up?" "Saria invited the skull kids from the lost woods to play their flutes for us. It's just a rumor but they say that the skull kids can play really well and that they give a kokiri a magic instrument if they can dance well to their music." "Awesome I would love to win it! Let's go!"
We arrived in the forest center where Saria was waiting for us with Mido, Fado, the know it all brothers, and everyone else. "Link! Alex! Finally, the skull kids just got here and they're ready to start playing. Let's start dancing!" The skull kids started to play Saria's song and all the Kokiri, along with Link and I started dancing. There was an additional skull kid that was walking around and tapping people out. Mido was the first one out and he threw a major tantrum. Next was Fado and the know it all twins. Then Link got out and everyone else was eliminated until it was me and Saria left. I guess I was dancing like Din in oracle of seasons because everyone was saying, "Wow he's so graceful. My goddess he looks like a graceful god. Oh oh did you see that backflip!" I could picture me going around in a circus like Din and dancing for a living. I took a few dance classes on Earth.
"I give up," I heard from Saria, "I can't compete with Alex. You win." "Congrats Alex!" Link said running up to me. "Here you go. This is the final instrument we have. We will make new ones for the next time." I took the shiny, black flute from the skull kids and admired it for a bit. "Hey kid! This is an ancient instrument that we found in the lost woods. It's said that it has special powers. Do you see the little triangle on the end? That means that it is blessed by the triforce. Take good care of it. Hehe see you next time!" They said doing a backflip and disappearing.
"Wow, that is an awesome flute Alex. I wonder how they found it?" "Well we can ask then next time we see them. Anyway we should go to sleep, we have a big day ahead of us tomorrow." "I'm too tired to ask." Link yawned. "I'll meet you up there in a bit. I have to go back to the woods to find something." Link waved me off and I left.
Back in the woods I put the mask back on and summoned the mirror again. "Zelda? Dark? Link? Midna? Is anyone there?" "Surprise!" All four of them jumped out and almost gave me a heart attack. "What the HELL!" "Don't you know what tomorrow is?" Zelda asked. "If you guys do that again, it'll be the death of me." I said clutching the left side of my chest. "Tomorrow is your birthday Alex, and your second, technically first, anniversary." "It is? Sorry I don't have any way to keep track of the days in this time. Happy anniversary sweet heart. I love you so much. I wish I could kiss you right now and give you the flute I got today." I held up the black flute and Midna gasped, "So that's the time you're in."
"What do you mean?" Link asked her. "Well my father used to own that flute. He lost it around the time the six sages were awakened and a Ganondorf took over Hyrule. He said that he was in the lost woods when he was startled and he dropped it and lost it." "Does this flute have any special properties or anything?" I asked. "If you know how to play it then you can teleport anywhere in the world. Hyrule, Lorule, and Twilight." We all gasped. "How can a flute have that power? To travel through dimensions takes extreme power, and great control of that power." Dark said, his brain on overload. "Um... Dark are you alright?" I asked him. His face looked bright red and his eyes were completely white, then he fainted. "Well I need to go. I'll talk to you guys when I get the chance. See you guys later. I love you Zelda." "Love you too. Bye."
I took off the mask and went back to the tree house. I fell asleep quickly until I heard the shrill voice from Navi the fairy. "Hey wake up! The great Deku Tree has summoned you two. Can the future of Hyrule really depend on these lazy boys?" I got up, grabbed a bottle, trapped Navi inside and said, "If you freaking insult me ever again I will freaking kill you. I already saved Hyrule in the future. So bitch please little light ball!" Navi nodded her head, wherever it was, and I let her out. She woke Link up and we left the tree house greeted by Saria.
"Hey Link! You finally got a fairy. Good for you. Don't worry Alex you'll get one soon, I know it." "We have to go now. The Deku Tree summoned us so we will see you soon, okay." "If the Great Deku Tree summoned you, that must mean that you two are very special. Have fun and don't forget to get a shield and sword so Mido will let you go through." "Will do. See you later Saria!" Link said as we ran off.
That was the start of another adventure I would be on to kill and seal my father away. But this time I would have some help from other dimensions. And he wasn't technically my father but still it pains me.
