Yo this is the last part in the Twisted series unless of course I get a new idea but bleh right now I got very little ideas. This one however isn't done, chapter three is still getting worked on and Wounded Soul hasn't been edited by my friend so again once they do it I will update all the chapter with their edits.

As an extra bit of info when I typed Farore wanting a child of her own and created Link it was inspired by a fanart I found on DA, I would leave a link here but doesn't seem to like links. I'll just do this: -A Child of Her Own- pettyartist type that in google it should pop up right away.

Enjoy!

It had been at least one thousand years since Lilia's time as a hero, she was enjoying being a child again and having a dad.

The first Link gazed at the little girl who was dancing around with Tetra in the middle of the tavern, it was nice to see her so happy and cheerful. He wondered if she would forget the short time in her life when she suffered so.

"Still not the party type?" The first lifted his eyes to look at Sky Zelda who smiled gently at him and sat down across from him at the oak table.

"Never was, I don't think I ever will be." He said with a soft laugh, there was sadness in his eyes that had never left since Demise had shortly been in the heavens. Only Sky Zelda and Hemia knew about that, there was no need for everyone to know about it. The marks on his neck hadn't gone away for three days, no one had known who had placed them and hadn't tried to ask. The first was a very private man.

"...Do you...miss him sometimes?" Sky Zelda asked resting her arms on the table, she wanted to think the answer was no but she knew better than that.

"I would be lying if I said no and I'm not overly fond of lying." He said with a dulled tone.

She regretted asking him that but it was too late to take it back. She frowned as a thought came to her. "I hate to ask this but it's been bothering me for years and I never had no courage to ask but why isn't Hylia here?"

He blinked at her and shook his head fondly. "So smart but also rather foolish…" He gave her a sad smile. "Hylia shed her divine form and became a human, you Zelda are her but you are also yourself. You look like her however faintly and you have her grace."

She looked at him feeling guilty suddenly. "She can't be here because of me? Because I was once her?" She asked weakly.

To her surprise he took hold of her hand and gave a gentle squeeze. "Don't be sad...I grieved for her long ago and got past the loss. My heart will always be hers but you, Zelda, are not Hylia." He said the last sternly making sure she understood.

Sky Zelda nodded. She wasn't happy about it but there wasn't anything she could do...well she could do one thing she wasn't sure how he'd take that.

"...Want to dance? Just once?" There was a hidden question in her words that he caught easily. He stared at her a long moment then sighed heavily. "Just this once, and only this once."

The first stood from his chair and moved around the small table offering her his hand to her. Zelda took his hand and allowed him to lead her to the middle of the tavern...she recognized this. Had he and Hylia danced before? Perhaps they had.

No one said a word as the two danced a slow dance, none of them knew what had the first so sad but if he could feel even a little better with this they would be happy. He deserved some peace and happiness.

Once the song had ended the first lead Sky Zelda over to her Link and pressed a light kiss to her forehead and whispered. "Please...don't ask that again."

Sky Zelda and her LInk watched the first walk away heading for the door. "I hoped that would make him feel better I guess I just made things worse…" She clenched her hands to her chest looking down sadly. Her Link shook his head and hugged her. "I think he felt a little better, he just might not have wanted to make a habit of that. You know her prefers to see you as yourself rather than Hylia, he's looked at you different all of two times." She nodded knowing he was right.

Before she could respond a bitter horrible chill swept through the tavern making everyone freeze. What was that?

A pained scream made then all jump. The first hero had fallen to his hands and knees shaking, his form flickered as a crimson aura clung to him. Before any of the Links or Zeldas could move the Golden Three were there trying to help him.

"What's happening?!" Sky Zelda cried once she and the others recovered from the shock enough to get closer.

"It-it looks like someone or something is trying to rip his soul apart." Nayru said her voice shaking as she and her sisters tried to remove the dark power from him.

The first soon fell flat on the floor trying not to scream in pain. He faintly heard someone say Demise's name and quickly nipped that thought in the bud. "No…" He rasped. "He wouldn't do this...he wants me alive-" He broke with scream as the crimson aura got brighter and held him down. "This...isn't his power!" He managed to gasp out. Those who had seen the mirrors knew he couldn't be wrong about that since the Demon King had forced raw power on him and controlled him once.

The first hero felt a tearing sensation, the world around him exploded into white when the pain became too much to bear then it all went black.

The Golden Three and the incarnates of the Links and Zeldas stared at the place the first had been in shock. He had just disappeared as the crimson aura began to rip him apart. "Where did he- Farore, is he still alive?" Din cried holding her sister's shoulders as she turned to her.

The green haired goddess nodded quickly. Only her sisters knew but she had wanted to have a child and so created one just for her, she had never known what fate would befall him, if she had known she never would have given him life. As she had made him though she could sense him always. "He…he somehow got down to Hyrule...I don't understand he has a body and everything." That had them all confused. His body had been destroyed, how had something evil created something to keep his soul? But hadn't it been trying to kill him? They had no answers currently.

Sup I'm a big time skip xD

"...ello? Hey...can...hear me…?"

He tried to focus on the voice but everything hurt.

"Please you must...I need to...over again...better if you...wake."

He struggled to pull out of the darkness he was trapped in, he managed to move slightly which had the voice quickly encouraging him to keep fighting to come to.

After who knew how long he managed to open his eyes, everything was blurry. He blinked a few times to clear his vision and found a woman sitting at his side. Her hair was light brown, she had dark brown eyes and peachy skin. She wore a white robe, her belt had...some things on it.

"You're awake thank the goddesses." She said with a sigh holding a hand over her heart. "It was very touch and go for a while there, I almost lost you a few times."

He blinked at her confused, what was she talking about?

"...You don't know what happened?" She asked noting his confusion. "You were found by a merchant who was traveling from the Zora's Domain, he thought you might be a warrior by how you were dressed so he brought you here to the castle. The king assigned me to look after you."

Hearing all that didn't help any which now had the woman confused. "Are you alright? I didn't find any damage to your head...in fact I couldn't find any wounds on you at all. I wasn't sure why you kept slipping away." She thought a moment then shook her head. "I suppose what happened to you doesn't matter at the moment, can you tell me your name?"

He thought for a minute...nothing came...absolutely nothing came. "I…" It was hard to form...what were they...words? "I can't remember anything."

Sup I'm a small time skip xD

He watched at the corner of his eye the bright glow coming from the man's hands. After he told the woman who he learned was something called a healer he couldn't remember anything she had called for this man, it seemed he was scanning his head.

The man with drew and sighed. "...Maya go get the king and queen will you? They will need to hear this."

"Yes sir!" She dashed off.

He watched her then looked back to man. "...Do you know what...is wrong?" He asked slowly making sure his words came out right.

"I do, it's nothing good. Best wait until they get here so I won't have to repeat myself." The man said. He looked about the same as the woman and wore the same robe with the things on his belt.

Once Maya was back with the king and queen following her the man began to explain what he discovered.

"I gave him a full scan, it appears something or someone dark and evil tried to kill him by ripping his soul apart. I don't know how but he managed to fight off the power trying to kill him, while that normally would be a good thing in this case the power ended up ripping his mind to pieces resulting in severe amnesia. He is very lucky he didn't go insane." He explained with a sad sigh. He looked carefully at the man sitting on the table who was looking around a bit, he switched his gaze back to them when he noticed they were watching him. "I do have an idea as to how he survived."

"How Nanan?" The King asked very worried for the stranger.

"The triforce's power clings to him. I've researched the triforce slightly to know that if it is on a chosen it would try to protect them. He doesn't have any of the pieces, it doesn't show on his hand but the power is there I could feel it when I scanned him." He would have gone on but the man on the table looked so very lost and confused. "Your highness, your grace, would it be too much trouble for him to stay at the castle until he can fend for himself?" Nanan asked.

"Of course not." The queen said stepping over to the man who didn't move as she got closer. "Would you be willing to stay at the castle with us?" She asked him laying a gentle hand on his shoulder.

"...What is a castle?" He asked brows furrowed.

Silence hit the room.

"...The amnesia is worse than I thought." Nanan said in shock.

None of them had thought that when he said he didn't remember anything that he had meant just that, he remembered nothing. Talking was difficult for him as he wasn't certain on how to make his voice work, walking proved to be a bit of a challenge for a few minutes, he did not recall having been to any school, he didn't know where he was from the list went on. The worst was his name, he couldn't remember it, when they had tried giving him a temporary name he gained a splitting headache. Nanan thought it was his mind rebelling against a name that wasn't his but was unable to get back his real name. Due to this problem they decided to call him hero because he didn't react badly to it.

Sup I'm a big time skip xD

It had been months since he got to Hyrule Castle, in those months he had to relearn everything, of course no one could be certain of what things he knew so he might have been learning some things for the first time. If Hero could be happy about anything of the situation it was that he learned fast, he learned how to read and write within of two weeks, getting to a high reading level hadn't taken a bit longer but his instructors had been impressed with him. His interest in history of all kinds pleased the scholars, they had been surprised and even more pleased when he remembered something one day.

They had been discussing the small bird race called Ococo. Their research showed the home had been discovered and visited several times Hero and frowned and said, "The only one who ever went up there was the Hero of Twilight, who ever wrote this lied." They hadn't believed him until they went through the library to search further. He had been right, only the Hero of Twilight had been to the home of the ococo but...they had never told him their home was in the sky. It seemed he had once known a great deal. They were disappointed when he had nothing else to add, they left him be though.

Hero gazed at the mirror in front of him in the room the king and queen and had kindly allowed him to use. He was wearing the old looking green tunic, red scarf and green cap he had been found in. There was a chain mail and some shoulder armor he currently couldn't remember the name of...were they shoulder plates? Maybe that was it.

Nanan had said wearing it might help his mind recover, the months being here wearing his clothes...had done nothing for his memory. His blue eyes went down to his leather gauntlets covered hands. Something was wrong...he felt that he shouldn't be here, not just the castle but Hyrule itself. He never voiced this to anyone, he wouldn't have been able to explain why he felt that way he just did.

He sighed and brushed his light blonde hair away from his eyes. He had decided to leave today. He had learned enough that he could get going, while he was grateful the king and queen took him in and let him stay and were willing to just let him live there it didn't feel right. He wanted to remember who he was and where he came from.

Hero went over to the desk in the corner of the room and went through what he had packed together to see if he needed anything. The pouch had been normal before he touched it, as soon as he did it became infused with power. He could put anything in it and it ever got heavy or full. Nanan had told him the heros had pouches that did that and it proved he could be hero, the triforce just wasn't showing itself. Hero didn't like the thought of that, while he was called hero it was because it was all his mind would allow.

He quickly went over a checklist marking things off as he went through the pouches. He had everything he needed, it was time to go. He made sure to leave a letter to thank them all for their kindness but he had to go and figure out who he was.

Hero snuck out of the castle and through the large town, muscle memory was a very helpful thing. His mind didn't remember but his body did. He still had to be careful though, if he thought too hard about what he was doing he'd mess himself up.

Once he made it outside he let out a sigh. Part of him wanted to turn back and forget this plan but he needed to do this. He took his map out of one of the pouches and looked it over. His mind promptly went blank when he saw the name Gerudo Desert. That name…he knew it. It brought him pain, sadness and regret. He swallowed a hand against his chest feeling a pain that wasn't physical or emotional, was even his soul reacting? Perhaps he should go there maybe he would discover something there.

Hero nodded as he folded the map and put it away, he began to walk having no other way to travel but that was fine. If he took his time maybe he would remember something.
