The Triforce Exists

Connor Blacksmith was one of the youngest LOZ fans in America. The only one younger was a classmate named Kyra Metalsmith. The Legend of Zelda had become an old time game series but people still played it. Connor and Kyra were the youngest among them at 16 and 15. Little it was to their knowledge that they were about to discover a huge secret about the games.

It all started when Connor woke up to a burning sensation in his right hand. When he looked he found the strangest mark he had ever seen on it, the Triforce of Courage. It was a set of three triangles connected at the corners and the bottom right triangle shone brighter than the others. He thought the hours he spent playing LOZ Skyward Sword had affected his eyesight. He tried showing it to his mother and she could see it plain as day. Nope, not seeing things.

He went to school with gloves on to avoid people seeing the Triforce. Surprising, seeing as how it was late spring that no one noticed. Kyra was also wearing gloves, but weather it was to hide another Triforce, or if her hands were just freezing, he did not know. During Latin class the burning in his hand became fiercer and the Triforce showed through the cloth of the glove.

This time Connor could tell Kyra was hiding a Triforce, the Triforce of Wisdom, the bottom left triangle glowing brightest. Kyra rushed out of the room as did Connor. He raced after Kyra until he caught up with her in the Custodial office.

"Kyra, it's okay," he assured her. "I don't want to hurt you."

"Why are you following me?" she asked.

"I know what you're feeling right now." Connor said. "I have a Triforce too."

Kyra looked at him for assurance this was real. Connor took off his right glove and showed her the Triforce of Courage. She looked surprised, scared even, but he assured her it was alright. Then a third party appeared in the room. It was Connor's friend Ethan Silversmith, and on his hand was the Triforce of Power, the top triangle glowing brightest.

"I saw…" Ethan said. "I saw what you have on your hands… What is it? What is this mark supposed to mean?"

"Kyra, you're a fan of the Legend of Zelda too right?" Connor asked. "I should be able to explain it to you too if not." He started explaining the Triforce and its significance to the Legend of Zelda series as the trio left the Custodial office. He explained the three pieces of the Triforce, Power, the top, Wisdom, the left, and Courage, the right.

"This is a Relic of Power from a video game?" Ethan asked.

"Apparently," Kyra said. "But why is it that they came out of the game?"

"I'll be able to help you with that," Their new teacher, Professor Flynn, approached them, and told them he could help them .

"How can you help us?" Connor asked. "I know the Legend of Zelda is an old game series but what would a high school professor know about the series?"

Professor Flynn smiled at Connor. "I know more than what the games give."
