Tale of Beyond

¤ First Whisper, Last Goodbye ¤

The years after Link's heroic tale were the happiest and most thought of throughout the land of Hyrule. Most of the land did not know of how a young boy's deeds against evil saved Hyrule, all they knew was that a power beyond their own abilities had brought peace back to their lives. No matter how short of a period it would be there still was a calmness that fluttered through the wind and ripped along the water. These people left their fates in the hands of those that could change Time to a degree and not harm their own lives or the balance of nature. All of Hyrule went back tot heir daily lives like they had before Ganondorf or even before they remembered he existed.

Time, as it always did, has a way of going back on itself if it is not kept in balance with the other Worlds. The simple melody that was played after Ganondorf's defeat caused a small rift in the vortex between Worlds, causing several of these Worlds to go back seven years in Time. These certain Realms went back as though nothing was wrong -- Time often holds more then one World together in a pattern that can not be undone. This shift in Time allowed any wrongs to be righted and for life to resume as it should be on a World that did not know it was not alone in a much larger universe.

Many years had passed since the second pendent had left the Hylian World and entered into the Human World. It never left it's owner, forever sleeping with her underneath the solid ground of the Earth forever. The destiny of this World was now in the hands of another no more knowing then a young queen was when she left her home to find a better life for herself. Prophies were now in motion to perhaps save another Realm from befalling another destaster.

Now the tale entwines itself with that of Hyrule's fate, bringing two Worlds together even more so then they had been before. These two Worlds must come together in order for the dark ways of the past to be with that of the light ways of the future. The fate of the Hylian World and that of the Human World depends on the passage of Time and the courage of a child born of two Worlds....
