Zelda had me going through another dungeon to find some piece of junk she wanted. There was this old mirror she read about (in a fairy tale I might add) and now she had me head out to find it. She doesn't even know where it is exactly! Only the general location! Dark tagged along with me and he won't shut up for a minute. "Where are we? Where are we going? What now?" Is his main saying at the moment and it is driving me crazy! Sometimes I wonder if having Ganondorf win would have been a better option...
After listening to more of my dark thoughts I see a chest. A group of large bones line the room it's in. I walk over it thinking that it would be something worthless like it has been for the past five dungeons. I open the box and smile like an idiot. A small mirror lay at the bottom with grim covering the surface. A silver frame with golden rupees covering the handle. It was a pretty hand-held mirror and if I acted more like a girl then I could see myself keeping it. Zelda always says that I should act more like the girl I am but I don't really care for that. But I swear if she sent me all the way here, then gives me the stupid thing I will toss her out a window.
"That it?" Dark asks me and I nod. I grab it and start leaving the dungeon. As we headed back to Hyrule I cleaned the mirror and I have to say that it was so much cooler clean. The mirror was a bright silver like a lake in the sun. The handle was also very shiny and the back of the mirror was strange. It had one side gold and the other a deep grey. There was also a picture of a young girl in the gold then a older girl but much more rich looking if that makes sense. I have no idea what that is supposed to symbolize but I could care less. This thing caused me a lot of time to get and I wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible.
"Hey Dark? Do you know what this means?" I show my darker half the back of the mirror and we get closer to the castle.
"Nope... But I can tell they are the same person!" Dark says with a smile. I stare at him because that was an easy thing to notice. I give up on the object and head inside Castle Town. Zelda better have some answers if she knows what is good for her.
I give the mirror to Zelda and she hands it back. I look at her and she explains.
"It is supposed to allow you to go back in time. You can change anything you want! Do something else, and see what happens. Although it doesn't put you back in the present, it'll put you back in the time you chose to change and you can choose a new path or the same one," Zelda tells me and I smile. This seems amazing! But it also seems to good to be true.
"What's the catch?"
"That when you choose a path, any memory of what happens in that time that you know of will change." I knew it was something. But all in all it seems reasonable. "Go break that pot, use the mirror and then choose a different path." I do as Zelda tells me and it shows what happens if I don't break the pot (A happy servant) and what if I do (A servant that is beyond mad). It was strange, like everything had a film over it. It doesn't show me much of the future like I thought it would but I can guess that it is also a thing that is a back fire. You can't see far enough ahead to debate whither it is worth it or not.
I open my eyes and see me in front of the pot. I don't break it because it would change the timeline and a flash covers my vision. I try to remember what happened but I can't... Nothing comes to mind just a blur. I can remember what I thought, like not being able to see that far ahead, the blurred vision but that is all.
"So what happened?" Zelda asks me and I shake my head.
"I don't remember,but it was strange..." I tell her and she giggles.
"Then it worked to our knowledge. I'll let you mess with it for a while alright? I think that will be a nice thank you for getting the mirror for me." I debate whether I should try tossing Zelda out the window but I'm sure that it's not worth it so I don't, even though I really want to. As I head to my house Dark comes beside me. I tell him about the mirror and he stares at it with interest.
"So that's all it does?" I nod and he thinks a bit.
"Weren't you wondering what it would be like to have Ganondorf win, just give up on that battle?" Dark asks me and I stare at him with wide eyes.
"How did y-"
"We are the same person just different versions. I get your thoughts and emotions."
"How come I don't get your's?" I ask him.
"I don't think that's why," was his simple and easy answer. I gawk at him but then again I'm not surprised. I think about everything I do and it would make sense that he is the opposite.
"I might check..." I say. Me and Dark were friends before the battle so it's not like I will have to try and make friends with him again. That was a nightmare that I won't get into. The battle was easy also and if I choose to win then I will, it's not like I can fail and screw myself over. I gaze into the glass and go into the world that would have happened...
