A/N: Please, PLEASE, go easy on me! I'm really new at this and this is my
first fanfic. I may be a big reader and I may give good advice and stuff,
but I've never written stories outside of school work. Although my friends
say that I'm a pretty good writer and I might actually make it as an
author, I have some doubts. But then again, my 6th grade LA/Reading teacher
thought I plagerised my work(WHICH I DIDN'T!) because it was so
good.Really! So please don't flame me until I get my third chapter out or
something when I get a bit better. Please R&R. Only positive ones though!
So I'll stop my incessant rambling now and give you the story...after the
disclaimer that is!
Disclaimer: As some people say, discalimers are bad because they remind you
that you don't own such a fabulous thing as the rights to a game or book or
whatever. But the truth is... THEY'RE DEMONIC! IT REMINDS YOU THAT YOU'RE
FLAT BROKE! So now you know I don't own anyone but Lance. Who's he? You'll
see.(Hey! It rhymes!)
The Legend of Zelda: The Reawakening of the Past
Summary: After Link defeats Majora's Mask, he leaves Clocktown and it's inhabitants to go on his search for Navi. While doing so, he enters a dark, foggy forest and is unwitting to what will ensue his entrance to this forest. For past this forest lies many dangers and a past which he doesn't know or remember. He will face lies, deceit(spelling?), dangers and much more. A mysterious figure watches his every movements but is unknown to Link. Will he be able to live through this and save Hyrule from this new unknown danger, or will he fail and leave Hyrule open to conquest by other forces? Read on to find out.
Prolouge:
Link could barely see 3 feet in front of him through the dense fog. So how in the world was he supposed to kill that darned wolfos? It kept lunging at him when he least expected and he would just barely deflect its razor sharp claws with his sword. Every time its claws met his sword, there was a loud metallic CLANG! that would pulse through his arms. 'My arms are gonna be pretty sore after this fight.' he thought, 'If I even live through it.' he added darkly. The wolfos was smarter than the other two. Instead of charging straight ahead, this one used stealth. It didn't attack in a pattern that he could predict. Instead it attacked at random, hitting him wherever it pleased. 'I know! I'll try and dodge it's attack, spin around and lunge at its back!' Link thought.
ARROOO! the wolfos howled and lunged at Link from the left. Link skipped off to its right, spun backwards and the wolfos, off balance from missing its target was left vulnerable, and Link, anticipating this, ran to it, leaped, and plunged his sharp sword into the back of the wolfos with a loud battle cry and blood splurted out of the wound. It uttered a hoarse moan with a gurgle of blood and died, its eyes filming over with death. Link effortlessly pulled out his sword from the slain enemy plunging into its sheathe. The wolfos disintegrated into the air as all defeated enemies did. Link longed for the company of a fairy guide or aany companion for that matter. He had a somber look on his face. Just then Epona strode up and licked Link on the face and he chuckled. "At least I have you Epona," said Link,"Let's go then."
The dark, leafy forest was starting to thin, as was the fog. There was alot less enemies to worry about and it was brighter here. There were beautiful birds and flowers here. The mood in this part of the forest was much lighter and more inviting than the other part of the forest. Just then wooooshhh, thwack! An arrow impaled itself upon a tree, inches to the left of Link's head. "What the f#@&!" Link cursed "Where the h#@$ did that come from?!?!" He leaped off Epona and rolled facing in the direction the arrow came from, bowstring taut with an arrow notched in.(Duh...) "Who's there!?" Link yelled. He saw nothing. All of a sudden a bush rustled to the left. Link looked over and aimed at the bush. Then, a mouse hopped out. "Whew... Only a mouse." Link sighed. He relaxed and put the bow and arrow away. He saw the arrow and attatched to it was a note. He took out the note and it said:
Link, You have gotten past the forest but that was nothing compared to what you will face. Have you noticed the mark on your hand? It's changing. Do you know what that means? No, of course not. You'll need a sage for that. There's a town up ahead that has one. But hurry Hero of Time. The town may not be there much longer.
'Who sent me this? And what's this person mean "That town may not be there much longer."? It's not like towns just get up and move away. There isn't even a lake around here for it to sink in like some cities in old legends. And what about the mark. How does this person know that I have a mark.'Link thought to himself with a confused expression on his face. He looked at the back of his left hand.'WHAT THE!' Link's face was shocked at what he saw. The mark of the Triforce of Courage was fading while another triangle, but upside-down, was forming on the center of his hand. The mark of the Triforce is in a certain position. Link's Triforce, the Triforce of Courage, was the lower right triangle, Zelda's, the Triforce of Wisdom, was the lower left, and Ganondorf's, the Triforce of Power, was on the top. The symbols, if put together. Would create a triangle with a gap that was like an upside-down triangle. But his Triforce was fading and giving way to another, upside-down triangle which darkened as the original paled.
"Well, looks like I better hurry to this disappaering town and see what's going on." Link said to himself. He hopped onto Epona and they galloped to the end of the forest following the path. He could see the end of the path. When they got there they stopped and looked in shock upon the sight they saw. Below them, at the foot of the hill was a large town. But instead of the hustle and bustle of everyday life, was a town screaming in terror. The town was up in flames, the red tongues of flame lashing out at the air and buildings, and the occasional man trying to douse the flames with water. Link and Epona stood their, transfixed by the terror below them. Half of the town was on fire, while the flames threatened to get the other half. Link was struck by an idea. "Ice arrows!" he yelled. Epona neighed and tossed her head to the side in an exasperated fashion that seemed to say "Duh you idiot! How long did it take to figure that out?"
Link got out his bow and notched an ice arrow in. He took aim, not that he'd need it, a drunken man could have hit a target THAT big. He shot, reloaded and shot again while the first arrow wasn't even halfway to the target. The two ice arrows took down most of the flames and he shot three more which brought the fire down to a controlable level. The ice didn't stay though, they melted quickly. Link and Epona hurried to the town.
When he got there he got to the nearest villager and asked, "Where is the mayor?"
"He's over there." the villager said pointing to a rather round man.
"Thanks." said Link.
He hopped off Epona and led her by the reigns to the mayor. When he got to the mayor, the mayor turned around and said," You wouldn't happen to be the one who helped stop this fire would you?"
"Why yes I am." said Link.
"My, you're pretty gifted then aren't you?" the mayor said cheerily.
"I suppose you could say that. By the way, do you know who, or what, started this fire?" Link said.
" Yes, but it doesn't matter. No one can stop him anyway. We know where he resides and what he looks like. Even his name, but it's meaningless. We can't stop him, to powerful. Even with your enchanted arrows. His name is Lance. He is very powerful with magic, and also in physical strength. He doesn't show up that often though." he said grimly. " He and his forces have been terrorizing our lands for the past 6 months. But he is much more merciful than that d@#&ed Ganondorf."
"Hmmm... I suppose I would need rest even if I was to fight this person. Well, could you tell me where a stable is so I can put my horse, Epona, away. She needs rest. I also hear you have a sage here, I wish to speak with him." Link said.
"I suppose I could arrange that. By the way, I'm John Howards, mayor of Sorantown(pronounced: So-ran-town. Just like it's spelled.) What's your name?"
"I'm Link, and as you already know, this is my faithful horse Epona."
"WHAT! You're Link! The Hero of Time who defeated Ganondorf! Amazing! I heard you were young, but, wow!"
"I guess my reputation is bigger than I thought." Link said.
Well, seeing as you're a hero and you saved our town, why don't you stay at my place. We have a stable there with enough room for Epona and I'll get one of my servants to bring you to the sage."
"Thanks, I appreciate your help. I'm sure I can stop this Lance person, I was able to defeat Ganondorf and Majora's Mask so I'm sure I can stop a simple warlock."
"Pretty confident in yourself aren't you? It isn't that simple. He has great powers, greater than Ganondorf or Majora's Mask. He has destroyed entire villages, twice as large as Sorantown, with one spell and turned them into smoldering craters. Why he has not done the same to our village I do not know. He has conquered much of the western lands and has a vast army to do his bidding. If you ddo go after Lance, be very careful." the mayor warned.
"Okay." Link replied.
Link was led by one of the mayors servants named Luke, to a small shop. "I will wait outside for you Master Link." Luke said.
"Alright." Link replied.
When he entered the door a small bell chimed. The shop had racks lined with potions, herbs, small figurines, amulets, medalions, books and many other trinkets. He walked up to the desk at the back and rang a bell sitting atop the oak desk. "Why hello there! I never expected a customer right after the fire was put out. Boy was I lucky to be over on this side of town." A kindly old man walked out from behind a bead curtain that was off to the side and behind the desk. The man had wrinkles on his forehead and looked to be about 60.(Pretty old in medieval times)
"I'm here for some information." Link replied.
"Ah, yes. What would you like information for?" he asked.
"I'm here about the Triforce. Look at this." he said and showed him his left hand.The old man gave a sharp intake of breath and gasped. "Th-Th-Tha- That's the mark of the Triforce!" he stuttered, pointing at it with a wrinkled finger.
"Yes, I know." Link said, "I want to know why it's fading and making a new triangle."
"Hmmm... Let me see. I'll have to look in one of my books. Hold on a second." the old man said. A few moments later he came back holding a rather large and dusty book entitled The Great History of Hyrule. "Let's see, let's see." the man said skimming over the pages looking for something."AHA! I found it!" the man yelled happily.
"Found what! Found what!" Link yelled exasperatedly.
"The chapter that explains of the Triforce and prophescizes(please tell me in a review if anything's misspelled. I don't have spellcheck.) a dark event relating to this. Here, read this chapter." The man said pointing to a dusty page. The letters were worn but still legible. The chapter was called: The Founding of the Triforce. Link read it and it said:
Long ago the godesses of the land, Nayru, Din, and Farore, fought against there evil brother, Zan. He wanted to enslave the people and squander the lands resources to make lavish temples, jewelery, weapons, clothing and other things all for himself which would turn the world into a wasteland. The goddesses would not allow this and they fought their brother although he was much stronger than any one of them alone, but together they were able to keep him under control. They attacked him while he was asleep using special pearls to drain him of his energy. Each goddess had 3 pearls which contained his energy and were put in cases in a triangle form. Thus, the Triforce was made. The color of the three triangles was a representation of the energy drained from Zan. If Zan gets any of his energy back the Triforce will fade, but the center Triforce which is upside-down will darken showing that Zan has gained some of his power. It is said that when a mask of extraordinary power is defeated that Zan will reawaken and a young boy of amazing powers will learn of his forgotten past and stop Zan from reawakening.
'Amazing,' Link thought, 'so that's why the Triforce is the way it is, not only because there are three goddesses, but because they had to keep thier evil brother from spreading evil through the land'.
"You see young man. There are great things you must face, and powers you must confront. I will help you when I can and so will the others in the town. No doubt the mayor has announced your arrival. Good day, and come back soon." the old man said.
"Bye." said Link, and with that he left with Luke to the mayor's house.(Or should I say mansion?)

A/N: Hi! Hoped you liked it! If I made any spelling errors, please tell me in a review. Also, I encourage constructive criticism. This isn't my best of stories, mostly because alot of this was written late at night when I'm tired. But hopefully my later chapters will be better. This was just giving you all the background info. If you would like me to put something in, please tell me and I'll see what I can do. No flames please! And please tell me how to put in italics. My thanks go to Snowsilver, Gemstone, and The Kirby Kid. The first three people to give me a review. I know I keep updating this chapter, but it's all I can do! If it weren't for that darn school of mine, I'd be able to write a lot more! New thanks go to Aetre and Ganondorfthefieryred for their help with the italics situation. I'll post up an "experimental" fic to try and get it to work. I find italics a lot easier to show someone is thinking than the single quotation thing. My later chapters will range between PG and PG-13. I doubt there will be any R rated chapters but we'll see. I'll tell you the rating before I start the fic.
Updates: I just remodeled this chapter. This is part of a 2 part series. I'm working on chapter two now. The second part of the series is called "The Legend of Zelda: The Pearls of Olara". In this part of the story I'm writing now is when Link meets Lance, who eventually joins Link on his quest. When Link meets Lance, Lance is an evil warlock who used to work for Ganondorf and then becomes posessed by Zan after Ganondorf is defeated. In Pearls of Olara, the duo faces off against a warlock named Alloran who is a supporter of Zan, far stronger than Lance was when he was possesed, Alloran searches for the Pearls which contain Zan's powers so that Alloran can reawaken Zan, while Link and Lance search for the pearls to destroy them and put an end to Zan forever. As you can see, this story is a complex piece of work and will take me awhile. So don't get mad if I take a long time, writer's block is evil. Hope you review! I have one other thing to say, I can't get the italics, the bold print, the underlined print and every other special thing to work. Damned html code. Bye.
