A/N- Dun dun dun! I'm here. If you haven't read Lost in the Legend, I would suggest that you read that first, but do whatever you like. Alayana will have so much of a bigger role in this one. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Please start reading if you haven't already.
Disclaimer- Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. You must be insane if you think that I own Zelda.
Link sighed as he stared the sword in his hands. He didn't want to give up the Master Sword, but what choice did he really have? He could give it up later! Yes, brilliant idea! Only... there was the matter of dealing with Chelsya.
"Hey, Link. Are you gonna put that stupid sword away, or what? We don't have all day, ya know." Link glared at her, and Chelsya just ignored him and yawned. Another reason why she liked making fun of him: Link usually never did anything about what she said.
"Listen, can I put it away later? I don't really want to put the Master Sword away just yet." Link asked, smiling at the blade. Chelsya rolled her eyes at him. Why in the world was he such a dork? And this had been his idea...
"Fine, Link. Whatever. I really don't care what you do with that stupid sword of yours. Just don't be an idiot like you usually are." Chelsya stretched, choosing to ignore Link, who happily put his sword away.
Alayana stared at them, feeling slightly sick. Not about them, just... ugh. Alayana looked around, feeling like she knew this place somehow. Like this place was familiar. And yet, she had never been here before in her life.
"Ugh!" Alayana cried, clutching her head, and then her stomach. Chelsya blinked and ran over to her. Alayana began to retch.
"Are you okay, Ally!?" Chelsya demanded the sick girl. She did not answer, choosing instead to continue being sick. Chelsya patted her back, still worried. Link knelt down as well, staring in confusion at the younger girl.
"I-I'm sorry..." Alayana whispered. "Sorry about that Chely... I just feel sick all of... all of the sudden... ugh..." She clutched her stomach, wishing that it would just stop already. Link touched her arm lightly.
Alayana blinked in shock and she tightened up. She closed her eyes, allowing herself to sink into the darkness of unconsciousness. Chelsya blinked in shock and held the girl tightly to her. "Ally! Ally, are you okay!? Oh good goddesses, please be okay!"
Link touched the young girl's forehead in silence, a slightly worried look on his face. However, when she whispered something, he knew she would be okay. "Itar no gamma Hitai..." Chelsya, however, seemed even more worried as she spoke these few words.
"Oh no, oh no! Please, please, please be okay!" Chelsya brushed Alayana's dark hair from her forehead. She then kissed the young girl's forehead.
Alayana opened her eyes slowly and looked about. No... this was the same place. She was still in the same forest, in the same place, but everything was black and white. There were some people all sitting together, just sitting. She recognized one to be Saria, as a Kokiri.
"What are we even doing here?" Saria complained. "I mean, I know what I'm doing here, but why are you guys in my forest!?" Not one of the others answered, choosing to each remain silent. Quite suddenly, a young woman appeared. Alayana was amazed at how much she looked like both Link and Zelda.
"Ah!" A large Goron cried. "Princess Zelda! You are the one who has called this meeting, yes? What is it that we are doing here?" The young woman smiled gracefully at the Goron.
"Yes, I did call this meeting. You see... how should I put this... Ganondorf is rising again. I believe this, anyways." Gasps aroused from ever single of the creatures that were there. A woman with red hair and gold eyes stood up, a look on fear on her face.
"Princess Zelda, how could this be so? Ganondorf has been long since dead; he was killed by the Hero of Twilight! Tell us of how you know this?" Princess Zelda motioned for the woman to sit down.
"Nabooru,I have learned of these things... by a certain way in which I would prefer not to go into. And yes, Ganondorf was killed by the Hero of Twilight, but was there not a Hero before him? There have been many Heroes, and many Princesses. Can there not be many of Ganondorf? I would certainly prefer there not to be, but we still have no choice. And also, there is another problem arising." Zelda stopped there, as though afraid to continue.
"Please, Princess Zelda. We need to know what the threat is so we can prepare ourselves for it. We need to be of some service." A Zora woman said. Princess Zelda sighed before continuing.
"This problem is that we need to find new bodies. We cannot fully be sages if we are using bodies that are becoming worn out, which they are. We need to find new beings to become the next sages." Each person was silent. Finally, Saria spoke up.
"Princess Zelda... are you implying that we must die? I'm not sure that I quite like the sound of that..." An uproar was caused by this, everyone trying to speak at the same time. Finally, Zelda brought her hands up, anger in her eyes. When she spoke, it was full of disappointment.
"You are acting like children. Now, please. Try to act a bit more mature about this. I know you don't want to let others become the sages... but we have no choice. You shall each die, whether it be of old age or some other cause. Please try to understand that this is what the goddesses want. What they want, we must help."
The image faded and Alayana blinked. She turned around and there stood Princess Zelda. "Um, your majesty? What's going on...?" Princess Zelda smiled gently at her before speaking.
"When I first saw you, I thought you were much too young to be the replacement for me. You always seemed to be frightened and quiet as well. You needed someone to protect you, so you kept close to Chelsya at all times. But then... you wanted to defend yourself as well. You didn't always want to be the damsel in distress. You wanted to help Chelsya protect other people."
Princess Zelda extended her hand out to the young girl, still smiling. Alayana stared at it a moment before whispering, "Am I supposed to be this... this new sage? I'm not sure I can do it, Princess..." But when Alayana looked into Zelda's eyes, she saw there was something there. Something...
Alayana took Zelda's hand, and as they touched, their hands started to glow. Princess Zelda pulled Alayana in for a hug, a motherly hug that the young girl had never received before. She felt a warmth in her chest and blinked as she realized that Princess Zelda was gone, leaving Alayana all alone.
"Itar no gamma Hitai..." Alayana whispered softly, bringing both hands to her chest. She closed her eyes and was eclipsed in a light.
Alayana opened her eyes slowly and looked up into the worried Chelsya and Link's worried faces. She reached up and touched Chelsya's cheek, her eyes still half closed. Chelsya hugged the younger girl, whispering about how happy she was that Alayana was all right.
"I-it's okay, Chelsya. I'm really okay now. I just... listen, okay? I knew that something was coming, and now I have to tell you about what I saw in my dream, okay?" Alayana bit her bottom lip before continuing.
A/N- Okay, now that that's all through with. More on the way, don't worry. Longer chapters ahead and stuff. R&R.
