Chapter 1: Dreams
She looked at him, fright in her eyes.
"Link! It's not safe here! We'll get hurt!" she yelled over the howling wind.
Link turned toward the princess.
"Then let's go!" he yelled
He grabbed her wrist and jumped into a black vortex.
Tetra opened her eyes, blinking as the morning light shined through the window. She looked around her cabin, for him. Link was now where in sight. Was it just a bad dream? She got out of bed, got dressed, and went above deck. Alfonzo was giving orders to the crew.
"Morning Miss Tetra!" called Niko
"Morning." muttered Tetra
"Miss? Where are we heading today? Bomb island?" suggested Mako
"No, no. I was thinking Outset today." answered Tetra
"Okay Miss." said Mako
Tetra sighed. It had been months since she last saw Link. They got in a fight a few months back and Tetra had left the island to cool down. Six years ago, Link had saved her...twice.
"Our course is set Miss Tetra!" called Alfonzo
"Good, we should get there in no time."
"Link! Link! Wake Up!"
Aryll looked down at her older brother, who was asleep in the middle of the room.
"Aryll, he's exhausted, let him sleep." whispered Grandma
"Okay." said Aryll disappointed
Aryll walked outside of the house. It was hot, like all Outset summers. Aryll walked past Orca's house and down the beach toward her favorite place, the watch tower, to look at the ocean. When Aryll climbed to the top of the ladder, she pulled out her telescope to get a better view. After awhile, she spotted a ship coming closer to the island. the person on the ship seemed to be waving at her. Suddenly, Aryll dropped the telescope and ran back to the house as fast as she could.
"Link! Link" yelled Aryll barging into the house
"Link!" she called once more, shaking her brother.
"What?" asked Link wearily
"Come on! You need to see this!" she said dragging him outside.
"Look!" she said pointing at the ship, which was much closer now.
"It's..."
When the ship docked at the island, Tetra jumped off the ship and onto the island in which she missed. Taking a deep breath, she exhaled the ocean scent and turned her attention to Link, who she spotted when the ship was nearing.
"Tetra!" He called out happily
Tetra smiled and ran toward him. Niko, Alfonzo, Mako, Nudge, Senza, and Zuko watched their captain. She was never this happy. The last time she was happy, was when they where here a few months back.
"Link! I'm so sorry!" said Tetra, tears threatening.
"I'm sorry too." said Link
Aryll smiled. She too was happy to she her brother happy also. When Tetra released Link from their hug, she heard sniffling from behind her. She whirled around to find that her crew was in tears.
"What are you crying at?!" yelled Tetra
The crew jumped, startled, and went right back to work.
"You didn't change much." commented Link
"You didn't either." said Tetra
They both laughed together.
"Come on, Tetra, I want to take you somewhere." said Link
"Okay." answered Tetra
Link held Tetra's wrist and walked away from the beach and toward the path that lead to Fairy Forest. Link guided Tetra along the path and past the bridge.
"Okay, I know where you are taking me." said Tetra, pulling her wrist away
"Yeah? Where?" asked Link
"To where you first met me, when I fell from the tree." said Tetra
"Yeah, Okay" said Link
"Why would you take me there though?" asked Tetra
"Because there is something there now, that wasn't there before before, you'll see." said Link
Link lead the rest of the way, arriving at the tree where he met Tetra. Link was right, the tree did have something new on it, the Triforce symbol.
"How long has that been there?" asked Tetra
"Ever since you left." said Link
"Hmm why though?" asked Tetra, deep in thought.
Link shrugged.
"I hate doing this, but, maybe Zelda would know." said Tetra
"No, wait, I think it was meant for you, as in Tetra." said Link
"What do you mean?" asked Tetra
"I mean, just try placing your hand on the tree, see what happens." suggested Link
"Okay.." said Tetra
Tetra walked over to the tree, slowly she placed her hand firmly on the tree. Suddenly, she started to see images. There was a young girl, following a butterfly and dragging a sword behind her. Then the scene changed to the same girl and a different women that was giving the girl lessons on something. Then, out of nowhere, a man comes up from behind the women, killing her. A gang of pirates took the small girl away before she was hurt. The man turned toward Tetra raising his sword.
"No!" yelled Tetra
Tetra sat up quickly, panting.
"Where am I?" whispered Tetra
She looked around the room. She seemed to be in a bedroom, but it was hard to tell because night had fallen. She swung her legs over the side of the bed. Her clothes where still on except for the bandana and her shoes. she walked over to the doorway and looked up and down the hall. She seemed to be inside someone's house. Suddenly, she heard someone breathing inside the room. She slowly walked back to the bed and peered to the other side. There was a dark figure of someone sleeping. She grabbed a nearby rood. she raised it high in the air, and brought it down with a great amount of force.
"OW!" exclaimed the figure, sitting up quickly.
Tetra raced over to the light switch, flipping it on. She looked at the figure again.
"Link! I'm so sorry!" said Tetra
"No, my fault for sleeping in the same room as you." said Link
Tetra bit her lower lip.
"What happened after I touched the tree?" asked Tetra
"You collapsed, you've been out for about five hours." said Link, rubbing his head.
"Wait! Where's my crew?" asked Tetra
"Relax, they are asleep in the ship." said Link
"Okay, good." sighed Tetra
"Tetra, what made you collapse?" asked Link
"I'm not exactly sure." answered Tetra
Tetra took the next few hours explaining to Link what had happened in the dream.
"Well, once you touched the triforce, it disappeared." added Link
"Hmm" thought Tetra
The women who was killed her "dream" looked awfully familiar too. Was it maybe just another bad dream?
