The Age of Darkness and Despair

I, Kirjava, have been an outcast of the Hylian race for as long as I can remember. Unfortunately there has been an impending darkness that I can only sense. This has not affected the others of my race. I wasn't prepared for this Dark Age and neither were the other Hylians, and now, the darkness has now come.

I am wandering in the land of Hyrule looking for the light, I have taken refuge in this temple, the Temple of Light. Others have fled elsewhere until the darkeness has passed. The Darkness has seemed to of lifted, but some is still lingering in this world... I feel it...

This has been a long awaited day, for the Age of Darkeness and Despair has lifted, those who have fled have gradually started returning. All is well in the land of Hyrule. But there is rumor that the princess Zelda is missing. I shall check for myself.

My instincts served me well. I enter through the moat entrance, for the guards are all absent. I walk through until I see the courtyard... The princess is not there... I see another in the courtyard, a fairy child of the legendary Kokiri tribe. But he disappears, leaving nothing but a triangle on the ground. When I look there are not one, but three triangles in the formation of the legendary Triforce. One must have been for the princess, one for the fairy child, but whose is the last one. I look around for clues, inscriptions, anything. Then I look to my right, there it was, the inscription I was looking for. It said:

If you are the next of the triangle, step in the triangle that faces the Hyrule field. If you are not the one, step in and perish in flames.

I shuddered at the thought of perishing, for I am only a young adult, like the princess and that fairy child. But I knew I had nothing to lose. I stepped onto the triangle, I thought I had perished for the heat was unbearable. I closed my eyes, but when I opened my eyes I was in the Temple of Light, or was it? I looked around and saw the princess, the fairy child and three others.

They spoke at the same time, and said,

"Welcome back children of the light."

The three beings spoke in unison and began:

"When the world was new, the three goddeses Din, Nayru, and Farore came down and nourished it. They gave the world light. They also gave the gifts of wisdom, power and courage. And with that, they left leaving the people of the earth the knowlegde of the Triforce. The Triforce symbolized wisdom, power and courage as you all know now. However, when the goddeses created the world they made sure that they gave one gift to three different individuals, and that they could protect their world in their time of need . These gifts, of wisdom, power, and courage were given to you, children. Zelda, with your power to see the future, you were given wisdom. Link, with all the adventure you had, you were given courage. And Kirjava, with the risk of stepping into the triangle space knowing that you would have perished, you were given power, to overcome your fears. With these gifts you will forever be bound to each others fates."

I looked at the others in awe, knowing that I was bound to these people forever made me feel the sense of security I have never felt before.

The three beings continued:

" And in your time of need touch the markings of the Triforce you were born with, for we are Din Nayru, and Farore, and we will come to your aid."

Zelda had her marking on her right hand, Link had his on his left. And mine was... immediately I touched my forehead, for that was where mine was.

Zelda soon asked:

"But our parents and siblings, they are..."

The goddesses answered:

"They are you guardians who are also bound to you like you are bound to each other. They have the same markings as you in the same places. You all will live eternally with alternate identities."

I felt as sense of security with these people, as if I had known them for all my life.

Then goddesses sadly said:

"You have a quest, a quest where you go alone, with only the company of one another. Remember our words, for they will help you in you quest."

And with that they vanished. Leaving nothing but a small voice calling:

"Remember... Remember..."

A large blinding light flashed. And our gifts felt as if they had been revived from all the centuries work long gone.

We looked at one another for a long time.

Zelda broke the silence by saying:

"So we need to get acquainted, after all we've only just met."

And she began:

"I, as all of you should know am the princess Zelda. I was born of the king and queen of Hyrule, and have lived with the Sheikahs for a long time. My guardian is Impa, a Sheikah. Link and I have known each other for a while now. I live somewhat near the Goron, though I do not stand for them. I am of noble birth, our color is blue, and I stand for Nayru and wisdom.

After Zelda had finished, Link had started:

"I am Link, born of the Kokiri tribes, though something tells me I am not one of the Kokiri, but of the Hylians. It doesn't matter though, since I come from the Kokiri I must stand for Farore and courage.

I started with a great confidence soon after:

"I am Kirjava, of the ordinary people, Hylians. I am one of the Hylians who don't reside in the castle grounds often. I reside with the Zora, but I stand for the Goron, Din, and power."
