Author's note: Well it seems I held up to my promise of rewriting the "Lost Legend of the Magical Knight". After looking a bit back I had some flaws in the story line. So I decided to relook back into two games that started it all as well the Manga depicted on Link's struggles. He talks and thinks carefully about his actions. The fact of reversing time and going into the future changed his mindset of a regular boy. He was very skilled swordsman to take on a whole knight school and its commander. He lacked the ability to use magic properly unlike Zelda.
He ventured out to find a friend, but runs into trouble in Termina. After playing Twilight Princess I find out Hero Shade was Ocarina of time Link. Hyrule generated peace for a time and his swordsman skills went to waste. No one wanted to learn from him, they had no drive, or skill to match his. Hyrule's future always looked bleak for the Farore's Champion who wielded the Tri-force. Zelda made a mistake thinking she could control the sacred realm causing this all to happen. Then Ganondorf's only being sealed within the Sacred Realm for a period of time never made sense to me.
The future of Hyrule was either doomed by Link's defeat or Link's disappearance. The calamity of Hyrule is thrown into jeopardy and Link is stuck within a curse that forces Zelda, Ganon, and himself together each time. Tri-force of courage didn't give Link great magical ability. It granted him protection from evil magic's. A theory believed that the Tri-force allowed Link to master any weapon he touched. Compared to the other wielders of the Tri-force, Link never actually used his. Leading to goddess Farore seeing her champion has no future and he will live a life of regret. She takes action for Link since he is always led astray by others. She seeks to make a future for her champion…
Let me know how this version appeals to you.
*Story Start*
My story is a confusing one; it has many twists and turns. I was born with a destiny to be a hero, but not with a normal life. I was chasing after a friend she left due to the fact she fulfilled her purpose. Maybe because I was a Hylian and I could not get a guardian fairy. I wanted to see her again and I was told by Impa that fairies live in the untamed wooden forests. I set out on another adventure to find her, just to fight another evil being called Majora's mask. He took my precious ocarina and horse away from me. I gave chase and the end, I was cursed by him. I soon found out I was in another dimension with problems Majora caused.
I had to help these people and I spend so three days and 3 nights fighting monsters and fixing problems. Reversing time and only to see them suffer again. Luckily I had a fairy named Tatl guiding despite being mean to me. I eventually vanquished Majora by becoming a fierce deity named Oni. All the people I helped during my quest to stop Majora. Despite the future being erased each time the deeds I done compounded together during the fourth day. The people's suffering was gone and laughter was in the air. I had some fun attending the festival and I even was the best man at a wedding.
My piece of the tri-force reacted strangely to it…
A gentle melody filled the air as Link stirred from his sleep. He looked up to see a serene golden sunset was occurring as he saw a field of flowers surround him. He saw a woman with long flowing green hair with a smile on her face. She wore a white dress that showed off her curves. She wore an emerald necklace around her neck resembling the Kokiri Emerald. She had her eyes closed as she sang a beautiful melody as he sat there quietly.
She stopped to open her eyes to reveal her emerald eyes as she looked down at Link's blue ones. "My you are quite a strong one for your age, but you have to remember not to push your body so much." She told him.
"You know who I am?" Link asked her a bit confused.
She nodded and smiled even bigger than before. "You are my champion who wields the Tri-force of courage."
Link's eyes widened up as he tried to get up. "I am sorry Farore…" Link started as he was caught off by her giggling. She held him down as she kissed his forehead, leaving Link blushing.
"You are such a gentleman trying to give me the proper respect. You need to relax more or you will burn yourself out Link. The fight with Majora was impressive despite using his body to help you." Farore explained as she held up the Fierce diety's mask.
"You mean Oni?" Link asked her.
"He was a man turned god after defeating a man-eater with a song. He placed his body the remnants of his mortal body and some of his power into it. He sealed it away with Majora thinking he will give the mask to someone he proves worthy for his games. A gamble that paid off and you won, you saved the land from destruction. You should not use this mask lightly, even against regular foes only in dire emergencies." Farore told him. She placed the mask back into his pouch.
"Do you need me for a task?" Link asked her.
"Well I do need you for a task, but it aligns with your current task. You wanted to find a certain fairy friend and talk to her again?" Farore told him.
Link nodded. "You know where Navi is?"
"Yes and it seems like she doesn't want to be found by you. She fulfilled her duty and she went to one of the places where fairies reside. In a dimension named Earth-land a land where fairies are a myth. Link my task for you is to not return back to Hyrule."
Link looked shocked. "Why should I not head back home?" Link asked her.
"A great tragedy will come and you will not be able to stop it no matter what you do. Zelda made a mistake that doomed the alternate Hyrule's future and she has doomed the current timeline. She thought she could control the Sacred Realm and got you dragged into this mess. She sent you out to collect the three spiritual stones before Ganondorf got his hands on it. You collected the spiritual stones and handing them to Zelda would prevent him from obtaining the Tri-force. It only made it easier for him to get in. He thought he could attain the tri-force, but he lacked necessary attributes to use it. Only grabbing power in the process and I was forced to choose a champion… you." Farore explained.
"Zelda said Ganondorf will be break free one day." Link muttered.
Farore frowned. "Din should have forfeited his right to even hold the Tri-force of power. She thinks it's amusing to see its actual being used. Nayru thinks her Tri-force wielder is used properly since it's within Hyrule's royalty. The only one who hasn't relied on the Tri-force was you. You did it all with your courage alone and even tackled this new threat. I want to do everything in my power to give you a brighter and happier future. I am willing to grant you one wish…" Farore.
"I don't want a wish; I can achieve anything if I put my mind to it. Besides all I want to do now is see Navi and talk to her one more time." Link told her.
Farore's smile brightly as Link felt the warmness coming from her. "I know what I can give to you now; it is very precious to every mortal. A future one away from Hyrule's doomed one. I will send you to another land; this land will have your fairy friend Navi in it. If you look hard or become infamous I have no doubt you too will meet up with each other again. So can you promise me something Link?"
"Sure, what is it?" Link asked her.
Farore giggled. "You are supposed to hear the promise silly before agreeing. Can you please learn to live a normal life? Can you find a bit of happiness and love for yourself?" Farore explained.
Link nodded with a smile. "Of course, are you sending me off now?" Link asked her/
She nodded as a green light slowly wrapped around Link's body. "Since we don't govern this world… I may drop you from a high altitude. So best prepare that shield that contains my sister's spell." Farore warned him.
Link looked confused. "Why do you need to drop me from a high altitude…?" Link shouted as he teleported.
"Well good luck my champion you will need it." Farore muttered.
…
Over Earthland as blue comet appeared over the West of Magnolia town. Several people looked at the star coming down in awe. The friction from the orbit caused the shield to glow purple.
Link's magical energy was faltering as he looked down to see a town down below next to some grassy plains. He looked in awe to see the town was so different and more refined to the ones he visited.
"So this is Earthland… it looks beautiful up here." Link thought. He pumped more magic into the shield as he mentally prepared himself for the crash. He grabbed his Glided sword off his back and grabbed his pouch. He was two miles out before the ground as he closed his eyes.
*BOOM*
Everyone in the town heard the noise from the crater produced. Link felt his magic bottom out as he panted heavily. He looked around to see his surroundings as he groaned in pain.
"The shield managed to buffer the heat and the lack air perfectly. I didn't have enough magical power to maintain the strength of the barrier. It only buffered against the ground for a moment…" Link groaned.
He limped out of the crater he made to see it was quite huge. "Why am I?" Link muttered.
He pulled out a bottle of red potion and took a sip. It dulled the pain and healed him as he looked around for people.
"It looks like I will have to wing it from here. I don't know what currency they take or a place I can stay for the night. Plus I need to find ingredients to help make my potions." Link thought.
He walked through the grassy plains to see a road. He took the road towards the nearby town as he quickly saw the sign.
Acalypha Town, Merchant town
Home to the Love & Lucky merchant guild
"Well what Luck, I can probably trade items to gain the proper money or find a job. I might as well camp it out in the woods for a while and wait until morning. Link's stomach gurgled as he looked around trying to find a wild animal.
"It seems like I will have to hunt in the dark…" Link muttered as he walked off towards the forest.
…
Link wore up to the sound of chirping as he sat high in the tree. He smiled as he touched the bird's head as it chirped happily. He took out an apple from his pouch to satisfy his hunger. He heard a lot of sounds from coming from the town itself. He stood up and he saw a huge crowd of people overlooking the crater he made when he fell.
He saw some knights holding them back as others were investigating the crater. He jumped out of the tree and used the woods as cover. He skirted around the edge of the town trying to see what was going on. He walked up to the edge of the crowd as he pulled out the Mask of Truth.
"I don't understand the language here… so it would be wise to use the Mask of Truth to learn the language before talking to them." Link thought.
He felt the surface thought of one man's reaching his as the eye of the mask glowed. He learned what he wanted to lean as he placed it in his pouch.
"Um excuse me… mister. What is going on?" Link asked the nearby man.
The man looked down to see Link. "Well the Rune Knights were deployed to our town due to some high magical output. Apparently whatever caused it may be dangerous and they are looking for clues to what cause this. By the way where do you come from? Why are you carrying a sword and shield with you?" He asked him.
"My name is Link and I am swordsmen from another land…" Link started.
The man smiled. "I see so you want to meet Arcadios the white knight." He told Link. Link looked confused for a moment. "Well I can't blame you for not knowing his name. He is the chief of the Cherry Blossom squad in the Royal Kingdom of Fiore. He was assigned to train some rookie knights near Magnolia branch as well scout out the ones fit for the Royal Guard." He explained.
Link nodded, understanding the man. He looked over to a muscular, well-built man of average height. He has a deep set eyes and high cheekbones, with a small scar running from his left temple to the edge of his thick eyebrows. He also has a snub, square-shaped nose. His hair is dark and wavy, sticking up around his head, with prominent sideburns that join into a curved and pointed beard.
He wore a regular set armor with the red cape with country's symbol on his back. He turned to look at Link. He stared at Link as he noticed the sword and shield on his back. Link walked from the crowd as he looked confused.
"Who is that boy?" Arcadious thought. He studied the shield on the back to see it was a detailed knight's shield. He also wore a green tunic and hat that made him stick out from the rest of the people.
He turned to a member of his squad. "Rookie, collect as much magical energy as you can find. Then use it to locate the source of the energy. I don't want the Love & Lucky guild being sold a magical artifact that could be dangerous." Arcadious ordered as he looked at another knight. "Follow the kid and ask him so questions about what happened last night. He looks like he doesn't belong from here."
The knight nodded as he ran after Link to find out he was down the street.
…
Link looked around the buildings in awe it was vastly different in his world. The buildings for one were cleaner and more structurally sounded. Technology seems more advanced then Hyrule's and Termina's combined. He asked a couple of questions off to adults to see if he can sell anything. They pointed him towards a merchant guild and hopefully he traded his rupees out.
He quickly saw the building with the sign as people were coming and going out of the guild. It looked like a professional marketplace. He walked in through the doors to see people were exchanging items for pieces of paper. It seemed like Rupees might be worthless in this world.
A woman with brown hair and black eyes looked at him. "Welcome young man, to the Love & Lucky merchant's guild. Are you here to sell or buy something?" She asked him.
Link pulled out a green rupee and showed it to her. She looked shocked by the size and shape of the gem. "I was wondering if I can sell this… it comes from my home country as currency." Link answered her.
"I will get one of our appraisers to evaluate the gem's authenticity. Can you please follow me into the back room?" She asked Link.
Link followed the woman into the room to see a well dressed man wearing a brown suit. He also had gray hair and a mustache. The receptionists whispered to his ear as he waved her off. She closed the door behind her.
"Well young man my name is Thomas J. Arnold, I heard you brought in a rare gem. By chance where did you get this such gem? We can't buy or sell stolen property." Thomas told him.
"My name is Link Mr. Arnold; the gem in question is what my land uses as currency. They are called Rupees and I earned fair and square." Link told him. He handed the gem to him. The man looked him in the eye as he laughed.
"Such upstanding youth… I believe you. This gem looks remarkable, though I have never seen anything like it. Give me some time to study it ok." Arnold told him.
Link sat there as he watched the man pull. He pulled out telescopes and a looking glass. He was taking down some notes as he soon took out a hammer. He tapped away at it to see how solid it was. The process took over thirty minutes as he looked up at Link.
"Can you buy it?" Link asked him.
Arnold laughed and nodded to Link's question. "Of course it is, but its properties are so unique it was fused together by magic. I will offer 2.5 million jewels for the price of the gem."
Link took a moment to think about it. "Sure, that sounds like a great deal." He told him. The man pulled out a note and gave it to Link.
"I need you sign on the dotted line after you read the terms and agreements." Arnold told him.
Link read the whole piece of paper as he borrowed a pen from the desk signed it. "Do I take this back to the front desk?" Link asked him.
Arnold nodded, placing the gem in the safe. "That is correct Link, give the teller the note and she will pay you. I hope you come again and bring something interesting again to our branch." Arnold told her.
Link gave a short bow. "Thank you for having me and buying my Rupee." Link thanked him.
Arnold nodded. "A young man with such respect and stature will go far in this world. Be sure not to spend money on frivolous things Link."
"Yes sir, and take care." Link bid him goodbye as he walked out the back. He walked over to a teller's station handing a note. He quickly noticed a knight in the room staring at him. Link saw the teller count out his money making sure he got the correct amount. The teller gave him his money as he gave her a quick thank you. He placed the money within his pouch as Link walked outside as he noticed the Knight following him.
"Stop kid, I have some questions to ask you in the name of the Fiore Royal Military!" the knight shouted.
Link sighed as he turned to meet the man. "Is there a problem?" Link asked the man.
"My superior asked me to stop for a few questions. Who are you and where are your parents?" He asked Link.
Link stayed silent for a moment before speaking. "My name is Link Kokiri and my parents are dead…" Link explained.
The man shifted uncomfortably for a moment. "Sorry for bringing it up…" he muttered.
"Its fine they died before I even knew them. Plus you were doing your job serving the kingdom. Ask away so we can both get back to our own business." Link reassured the man.
"Ok, I want to ask you a question about the crater nearby the town. A great magical energy was detected and it crashed here. Since you don't look like you are from here you many know more about it." He asked him.
"True, I am from another land, but singling me out due to that seems a bit biased." He told him. As a beeping sound went off as Link turned to see several guards standing with Arcadios now.
"Well it seems you are the source of the little disruption last night." Arcadious told them.
"Are you sure the readout is right chief?" the knight asked him.
"Of course, this magic is too unique than the ones we have seen. We would like you to come with us boy. Knight, arrest him for us so we can interrogate him." Arcadios told him.
Link pulled out his shield and sword, causing many of them ready their weapons. "Sadly, I can't go with you nor I don't you. The things I carry will not fall into your hands." Link told him.
"I cannot let them have the Ocarina of time nor the masks. They are all dangerous and I can't trust them with it or the fact I might not get it back." Link thought.
"So you want to fight? Well then, that can be obliged, but you are only making this worse kid." Arcadios explained.
The knight across from try grabbing him as Link based his face stunning as he spun slashing out his leg.
"Get him!" another shouted. Link swung his blade as he pushed off slashing him, he blocked a sword strike. He jumped back to avoid the wave of knights. He was fighting them one by one as he slashes through their exposed armor.
People nearby was watching the fight ensued as Arcadious watched with amusement. He watched the boy outmaneuver and parrying them with ease. He knew these knights were young, but this kid was even younger.
"He doesn't fight like a rookie and his eyes are not like a regular boy. He wields a golden sword and a knight's shield I can't identify." Arcadios thought.
He saw Link spinning in a circle cutting down the men trying to circle him. Arcadios pulled his blade out as Link's eyes sharply looked to the man. To see him quickly swing down on him as Link blocked with his shield. He grunted under the force of the blow.
"Not bad kid, but you do realize you are fighting a stronger foe now. You are facing a man who has better endurance, strength, and reach now. Men pull back, I got this one." He told them.
The men pulled back as Link jumps back from the man. Sparks flew off the sword as Link saw the man dash going forward with a stab. Link blocked with his shield. Link spun off the blow as he swung his sword to see the man easily block it.
Link began a motion of his blades to see the man was quickly blocked them with ease. He saw the man try pushing to the ground as Link rolled with it. He quickly spun around as he noticed the man grabbed his arm tightened picking it up as the man smirked.
"Not bad, but you do realize I was stronger than you. This match is over…" Arcadious told him. He was caught off guard by a burning flame erupting from Link's body. Link slammed his fist into his chest, causing an explosion of fire, causing Arcadious to fly back. He slid back in pain as he looked at his armor. "Damn, you can magic too! Usually mages use it off the bat, but you are solely relying on your skill with the blade."
"Mage…?" Link asked him.
"That is what you aren't you. People who use magic are mages of wizards." Arcadious told him.
"Where I come from mages dedicate their lives to magic. I am just a swordsman that can use magic and I am not a mage." Link argued.
"Well swordsman let's finish this fight." Arcadios as he rushed forward with a strike. Link rolled under and spun scratching his armor. The two engaged in a series of slashes, blocks, and parries. Link quickly bashed his shield diverting his sword away. Link threw his sword past Arcadios causing him to dodge. Arcadios realized he was flipped him on his back by the boy. Shocking him quite a bit to see he was stronger than he looked
"It's over!" Link shouted, grabbing his blade. Arcadious kicked Link in his stomach knocking him into the wall. He got up to his feet to see Link coughing up blood as he saw a crater formed in the wall.
"Well you are right about it being over, but it was in my favor." Arcadious told him. He looked confused to see Link pulling something out of his pouch. He took a gulp of some red potion as quickly put it up. He wiped his mouth as he took his stance again. "I be damn that was a healing potion, I have never seen one before."
"Let's continue." Link told him. Link charged forward as Arcadios took a stance, blocking a few blows. Link used his shield to knock him off balance as he spun past him with a spinning slash. Link slashed the armor open as blood flew out. He turned to see the man standing up smirking. "Something is wrong here; I caught where the armor was the weakest."
Arcadious smirked and nodded. "True, you do have a great sense of combat and style. It's weird to see an actual shield being used as a weapon. You knock me off balance by hitting my knees when I block one of your sword strikes. I am trained to take blows no normal man can take and I have a trick up my sleeve that gives me an advantage over you." He explained.
"Really…" Link sheathed his sword and shield. He pulled out a bomb from his pouch shocking the man.
"What the…" Arcadios spoke as he saw the bomb tossed at him exploding on contact. He slid back to see clusters of bombs being thrown at him.
"What the hell is that pouch made of? A single knight can carry an armory in that pouch?" Arcadious thought. He jumped back and forth avoiding the bombs.
*Clang*
He looked to see the arrow hit his legs as he saw ice forming at his feet. "Holding magic or is this enchanted arrow…" Arcadious muttered.
"It's smart to hold back your strength in a fight, but I have noticed the armor impedes your motion greatly. I just needed to keep you off balance and outpace you to gain an opening. The Ice arrow I shot ensures you will not be moving for a while." Link told him as he breathed heavily. He pointed his blade at his throat. Link cut off the protective amulet off his neck reducing his durability.
"Damn… I was having too much fun you realized you couldn't beat me at your current state. So went to immobilize me and take off my protective necklace." Arcadios told him.
Link sheathed his weapons on his back. "I am sorry that I caused a commotion, but the things I carry cannot fall into ignorant people's hands so easily. There are things I carry that are more precious than any money could buy. The ice will melt in a couple of minutes, so I will take my leave." Link told him as he walked off.
The sound of ice smashed as Link turned to see the man getting up. He brushed the ice off of his armor as he picked up his amulet. Arcadious wrapped the amulet around his neck as he sheathed his sword.
"Not bad for a kid, but you forgot your magic pool isn't that big yet to do such a feat. I see you were the one that fell from the sky eh," Arcadios explained.
"You know…" Link muttered.
"Of course only an idiot wouldn't realize someone fell from a high height using a magical barrier to protect them from a deadly fall. The only thing I don't know why you were falling…"
"Someone teleported me here from my home and they accidently sent me a little too far up in the air…" Link muttered.
"Well that explains something, but why did they send you here?" Arcadios asked him.
"I was sent here for one to find a friend and well the place I lived doesn't hold much of a future for me." Link explained.
"I am guessing you are an orphan aren't you." Arcadios wondered as Link nodded. "We have been getting a lot of that lately with the kids losing their families. So you are carrying the things that are so precious you wouldn't give them up to no one?"
Link nodded. "Yes, I can't part with the items I have no matter what. I almost lost a few things to a thief earlier in my travels." Link explained. He made sure to not give him the full details.
"I want press for the details about what you are trying to protect, but you did hurt the men I was training."
Link pulled out one bottle of a red potion as he gave them all a sip of it. The men looked in shock to see their injuries were gone. "A witch taught me how to make potions during my travels. Getting ingredients to match the same attributes might be hard…" Link explained.
"We are ok sir, but that potion tasted bad…" One knight muttered.
Link pocketed the potion. "Make a report that a kid was using practicing magic in a clearing." Arcadios told him. Arcadious soon turn to Link. "What is your name young swordsman?"
"Link Kokiri," Link answered him.
"Follow me back to the barracks." Arcadios told him.
Link complied, following the man without saying anything.
…
Arcadios sat there in his office as he made his report it was sent off to the Magic Council. He made sure to omit something's as he waited for the Link to come back.
He noticed Link walking through the door as he sported a white shirt underneath his green tunic. He had chainmail armor between the two layers. He also wore gloves on his hands and leather bracers on his left hand where he wielded the sword. He wore also was given gray pants and brown boots that went underneath his knees. He sported a belt two leather pouches as he managed to incorporate his old pouches ability into it.
"So you know dressed properly for actual combat. I don't know what you were thinking running out with a blade and shield." Arcadios scolded him.
Link bowed to the man. "Thank you for the gift and I am sorry for the trouble I caused you." Link apologized. He raised his head up to see the man laughing.
"Whatever you are carrying is very important to you and it was wrong trying to take a sword from another swordsman. But I have to ask you a question how did you make that crater?" Arcadios asked him.
"A failed teleportation spell… someone one wanted to send me here to save my life. I landed in a land I don't even know truthfully. Thankfully I have a barrier spell to protect me." Link explained.
"I see then, that has been happening a lot over these years, children being kidnapped or towns being burned down to the ground. I settle the problem that you are a refuge from another land and that there was miscommunication. The problem is what you are going to do with your life. Where are you going to live and how will you support yourself?" Arcadios asked.
Link thought about for a moment. "I don't know what to do?" Link asked him.
Arcadios sighed and shook his head. "I see, but you already have two options already open to you now. One is becoming a knight of Fiore or become a mage of a guild."
"Guild…" Link muttered.
"I see mages and swordsman are a dedicated class where you come from. Generally, there are three different types of Guilds: Legal, Dark, and Independent. A Legal Guild is one that has been approved and registered by the Magic Council while a Dark Guild is one that has not been approved by the Magic Council and is treated as a criminal organization. An Independent Guild is one that is not approved by the Magic Council, but at the same time is not considered a criminal organization." Arcadios explained.
"In a since it's like a regular guild they are allowed to practice their craft, while they gain money for it." Link answered.
"Now you are catching on to the idea, as you saw earlier that the Love & Lucky guild is a regular guild. You can easily work in one guild and gain money for yourself. The key to making a good future is by planning carefully. If you head back to Love & Lucky guild you will find courier missions or escort missions. If you find a town with a guild you like that matches your morals join them. You also pick up another craft like alchemy or blacksmithing it seems right up your alley. You have 2.5 million jewels at your disposal so don't waste on something you don't need." Arcadios told him.
Link nodded. "Got it sir," he answered him.
Arcadios handed a letter with a map and compass to Link. "Take these for your travels, the map and compass will help you with your travels. The letter I gave you is my address; I want to hear of your progress in your life. As well you are training with the sword, while I am at the capital." Arcadios told him.
Link placed the letter in his pouch as he turned to see the door open. A knight came in and saluted as Arcadios saluted back to him. "Sir, your carriage is prepped for your ride back to the Crocus sir. I also brought the requested things you wanted to give to Mr. Kokiri." He told him.
Arcadios nodded. He got up from his seat and placed his sword on his hip. "Thank you for bringing it, can you please give it to him and explain its functions as I leave." Arcadios told him
"Yes sir," he told him.
Arcadios turned to Link now. "Well I have to say goodbye Link, but consider this your welcome gift to Fiore. These will help you in the near future without a doubt, be vigilant and keep your mind sharp." Arcadios told him.
"Goodbye Arcadios when I get some things situated I will visit you one day." Link told him as Arcadios waved bye before leaving out the door. Link turned his attention to the knight.
"I can't believe someone as young as you got the drop on us without magic. I have been trying like crazy to be good like Arcadios." He muttered.
"Well you have to let go of fear otherwise you can't get stronger. You can always do something if you put your mind to it. It's only the mentality, keeping you back." Link encouraged him.
"Well if you put I will try that for once, but before I forget. Let me run you by the things the chief wanted me to give to you." He told Link.
He handed Link three items: one was a book saying Rune: Magic for beginners, green glasses, and a glowing pen that matched the glasses.
"What is this for?" Link asked him.
"Well its standard issue for rune knights the book itself teaches them how to use Letter magic. It has multiple uses, but you can read it for yourself. The glasses are Gale Force reading glasses allows you to read books at a faster rate. This one is rated at two means doubles your reading skill. Now for the pen you see it's called a light pen. It enables you to write on air or rewrite runes already placed. I hope you have fun with it with I need to get back to my rounds with inventory." He told Link.
Link nodded in thanks. He placed the light pen in his pouch as he put the Gale Force reading glasses on. He began reading his book on runes. Quickly learning there were five types of them, but one stood out was rune magic. He finally walked outside of the building as he looked around for a moment to check his surroundings. He was near the one of the exits near the town. He placed his book and glasses in his pouch as he pulled out his map and compass.
"The closet town to Acalypha Town is a town called Magnolia Town. It looks like it will take only a day to reach on foot by just walking there. With my bunny hood, I can make it there within halve the time." Link muttered.
Link placed the map and compass away in his pouch as he quickly pulled out. He pulled out his newly acquired gale-force reading glasses and the rune book. He sat down on a bench to read it again with more detail.
…
Hours passed as Link managed to visit a local store to buy some local clothes so he can visit the local bath in town. He managed to get his usual green tunic cleaned by a company in town as well recreate a blue version of it. He managed to visit the market it town to buy some food to travel with for a while.
He managed to buy a fridge that can be carried like luggage as he stored his new acquired food inside with his beverages. As well buy basic camping equipment that went a long way just in case he couldn't find a place to buy or rent out.
He managed to change back out of his clothes back to his green tunic for the trip to the east. He saw a woman waving towards him by the gate. She appeared to have the same uniform as the Love & Lucky guild he visited earlier. She had brown eyes and brown hair with a petite form.
"Hello Mr. Swordsman!" She shouted.
Link walked up to her and nodded. "Hello my name is Link Kokiri; do you need me for something?" Link asked her.
"My name is Holly Bridges; I work for the Love & Lucky guild you visited this morning. I knew you were heading to Magnolia soon. I saw the fight earlier with the knights and I was impressed by the way you fought. I was wondering if you can do me a courier job to a certain destination for me."
"Courier job that sounds easy…" Link muttered.
"Well it's too friends place and I wanted it sent to her personally. She is dying from unknown illness and the medicine that came from the east can help ease her pain. I promise that they will pay you for the delivery in person. As well deliver these letters to Jude Heartfilia about several trade agreements. One of the letters allows you passage on the land." Holly explained.
"I am guessing you don't want bandits and thieves trying to steal the package." Link told her.
Holly nodded. "Of course the Heartfilia Company is big, so anyone making a delivery will be a target. The last guild I hired forced me to pay three times the reward price for the mission. From one of the knights in the barracks say you have a great sense of honor and skill. Plus you have magic to help back up your combat abilities if you were ever in trouble. Will you accept the job for me?" Holly asked her.
Link nodded. "Sure, I don't have a set destination other than Magnolia Town. I can make a detour since it's a small job." Link agreed.
Holly gave Link the package as he slipped it into his bag. She looked a surprised to see it was contained in a rather small pouch. She assumed it was magic as she handed out a letter and a ticket to Link. "The letter itself will allow you safe passage on their lands when you show it to the guards. The ticket is for the train ride tomorrow and it will pay for the return trip back to Magnolia. So be safe Link and be sure to talk to Layla personally, despite what the maids and guards say ok."
Link looked up at her to see her face was sad. "You miss your friend…" Link asked her.
"Ever since her husband Jude became a big shot he started to forget the friends he made when he was at the Guild. Layla could never interact with us due to his status, but she would always write letters to us. She stopped writing a letter to me three months ago saying she is too tired to write on paper…" Holly muttered.
Link nodded as he pulled out a set of bunny ears that fit over his head. "Then I will make haste in delivering the package to her." Link told her.
Holly giggled seeing the boys wearing the bunny like ears on his head. "Link, what are you doing wearing that? It's cute, but does it serve a purpose?" Holly asked her.
"It's a magic item that increases my running and jumping capabilities." Link explained as he dashed down the road at fast speeds shocking her. She looked to see Link running by several people as dust flew up blinding them.
"It seems I chose the correct person for the job, but I hope Layla isn't dead yet…" Holly muttered.
…
It was nightfall as Link arrived as he saw the lamp posts were glowing in the dark. He looked at the beautiful city from afar as he took off his bunny hood from his head. He placed into his pouch as he pulled a canteen filled with water. He sat down on the hill watching the city from afar.
"So this is Magnolia Town, its' quite impressive…" Link muttered. As he saw a huge church off in the distance as he looked around town to see no clock tower. "I don't even know what time it is now, but I know it's getting late. I will need a place to stay for the night and make sure I am presentable…"
Link he heard someone walking behind him. As Link turned to see a tall man muscular with shoulder-length orange hair that was slicked back as he had a stubbly beard. His attire was simple; he wore a long, black, high-collared and tattered cloak with shoulder plates; around his waist is a simple belt. He also wore a loose-fitting dark pants, complete with an armored waist-guard bearing plates similar to the ones on his shoulders, tucked inside simple boots.
"Don't mean to interrupt your sightseeing, but I thought I should sit down and rest for a moment." He told Link.
"I don't mind, I just finished running here from Acalypha Town after selling a gem and buying some equipment. This is my first time in the country of Fiore so I want to sit down and see the sights at times." Link admitted.
The man smiled. "I see, what country did you come from?" he asked him.
"It wouldn't be on your map, but it's called Hyrule. By the way I am Link Kokiri nice to meet you." Link introduced himself.
"I am Gildarts Clive, mage of Fairy Tail." Gildarts introduced himself as he held out his hand. Link shook his hand to feel it was strong almost enough to break his hand. Link pulled away checking his hand for any sign of damages. "I am sorry about that I have a hard time holding back."
"It's okay... but did you say were a mage from Fairy Tail? Why is the guild named that?" Link asked him.
Gildarts sat there for thinking for a moment. "Well I may be a laid back guy, but remember what the master said about this when I joined the guild. Do fairies have tails? Nobody even knows if they exist in the first place. That is why it's an eternal mystery, an eternal adventure. That is the meaning behind the name." Gildarts explained.
"I only met fairies that had wings and feet. Navi said the ones from the ocean have tails." Link told him.
Gildarts looked surprised. "What you met an actual fairy? Do you have proof you actually met one?" Gildarts asked jokingly.
"I have a picture of one I took of Tatl… it's in black and white though." Link told him.
He pulled out the photo and handed it to him. Gildarts looked at the photo for a moment. "So they really do exist?" Gildarts muttered.
"You believe me?" Link asked him.
Gildarts handed back the photo. "Many people say things don't exist if they haven't shown up. People are starting to think dragons don't exist anymore and they will become a myth as well." Gildarts asked them.
"Well I also have a mask that attracts stray fairies…" Link put the photo up in his pouch. Link pulled out a feminine mask that had pink hair. Gildarts looked in awe quietly; the mask gave off a light pink glow.
"What is that glowing for?" Gildarts asked him.
"The masks detects…" Link said as he was cut off by a pink fairy flying towards him.
Gildarts looked shocked as Link walked over clasp his hands together. He showed Gildarts of a small fairy that resembled a human. Pink glowed around her body as she wore a purple tunic. Link handed was about to hand the fairy to Gildarts. He waved his hands up.
"Amazing, but I would crush her by accident." Gildarts explained.
Link nodded as he let the fairy go as the fairy spun around the two. As a light wrapped around the two as Link took off his mask. The fairy teleported away as Link smiled.
"I don't feel tired…" Gildarts muttered.
"Well they help heal you and they can get rid of fatigue." Link told him. He put the mask up as he stretched, looking at the distance. "Well I spent too much time here; I should find an inn to stay in. Then I need to head out and finish my courier mission."
"Well you don't have a place to stay for the night? I know just the place and you can stop by and have something to eat as well." Gildarts offered as Link turned to him. "Our guild has a spare room inside for visitors. But I need to ask you a question?"
"Yeah…" Link asked him.
"Why are you here at night alone? I am quite forgetful and I should have asked you before we talked about the fairies beings real."
"I don't have parents and I can't remember them at all. I don't have guardians watching over me at all anymore. I now look after my own self now and move forward. Since I know fairies exist in this land, I will keep searching for Navi, after I settle some things." Link explained.
Gildarts happy demeanor changed. "I see, well you are not the only person like that. At least you managed to make the most of it. Come on, the guild is only three miles from here." Gildarts told him.
Link followed the man in towards town. He was still wary of this man because his power, but he seemed kind.
…
Link sighed and groaned as he led the man through the streets. He luckily picked up a map of Magnolia Town before entering the town. The man a hole made a hole in someone's home. He had to use the song of time to fix the house. He had to make sure to hide the fact he used the song of time to fix the damages. The owner dropped the charges seeing the damages were gone, but it looks like he was the one leading him through the town now.
He found the building as it was a three story building and incorporated architectonics: a reminiscent with each floor becoming smaller than smaller flow beneath. The roof bore a resembled almost a real pagoda, consisting of extremely long, arched tiles lined up after the other, and possessing simple curved protruding upwards ay the building corners. It had Fairy Tail's flag symbol on it as Gildarts smiled.
"Well thank you for guiding me back home Link. You even managed to fix the damages to the home owner's house with magic. What type of magic is that?" Gildarts asked him.
"Time magic… I manipulated the object's time back to its original condition. I made sure to renew the whole house back to the day it was built so he wouldn't press charges against you and your guild." Link explained.
"You certainly wield a lot of weird and powerful magic's, but we are here." Gildarts happily told him.
Link walked before him making sure he opened the doors for him. Link saw people partying and having fun as everyone turned quiet as they saw Gildarts come in.
"Welcome home!" they all told him.
"It's good to be home, hope you all don't mind if a tag along came with me. He helped guide me back home, so please nice to him. His name is Link Kokiri and is a guest I brought here for the night."
Link gave a short bow. "Thank you for having me." He thanked him.
"He so cute…" a girl muttered.
"Plus he has great manners too.
"Welcome to the guild Link, thank you for bringing him home without incident." Peopled greeted them.
Gildarts made it over to the short bald man with hair outer rim. He wore orange and blue striped jester hat, coat, and pants. He also wore a shirt that had the black fairy Tail mark printed on the chest. He carried a staff with him as he looked at Gildarts.
"I see your mission went rather smoothly and I don't hear the town up in arms of your usual passing through." The old man told him.
"Well Link guided back here to the guild, but we hit a snag I did walk through a building. He didn't know my tendencies." Gildarts admitted.
"Well it can't be helped…" the old man told him.
"I may have destroyed, but he used time magic to fix the building like the day it was made." Gildarts explained.
The old man looked in shock. "You mean the Arc of Time that is a lost magic…" he muttered in shock.
"True, but he tried hiding the fact from me. Then you wouldn't believe what I saw earlier." Gildarts smiled. "He showed me that fairies were actually real."
Everything in the old man snapped as he looked towards Link. "You mean he knows how to find real fairies?" he asked Gildarts.
"He has a mask that attracts stray fairies, but I couldn't believe it before my own eyes. He appears to be quite a swordsman type of mage." Gildarts explained.
"I see so he is here to join the guild?" he asked him.
"No master, he is just passing through he has a courier mission that takes place tomorrow. Since it's so late, I offered him to stay here for tonight. It will make sure he can eat, sleep, and wash up before heading out again." Gildarts told him.
The old man watch Link watched him interact with others. He met a young girl with brown and eyes. She had a small pony tail with two bangs. She wore an orange dress and sandals.
"Hello Link, it's nice to meet you my name is Cana Alberona." She introduced herself.
Link gave her a nod. "Hello Cana it's nice to meet you too." Link replied.
"Are you mage Link?" Cana asked him.
"From where I come from I am swordsman, but I can use magic…" Link told her.
"You can use magic, but you are not called a mage in your homeland. That is so weird, so you can use sword magic like Erza?" Cana asked him.
"Well of course, but who is Erza?" Link asked her.
Cana pointed over to a girl with red hair and one brown eye. She wore an eye patch over her eye. She wore simple armor over her white shirt. She also wore a white skirt, black leggings, and brown shoes. She carried a short sword on her hip.
"Well her name is Erza Scarlet she just recently came to our guild. She only talks to master and she sticks mostly to herself. Gray always challenges her and loses the fight…" Cana explained.
"No way, those are flukes I will beat Erza. This guy couldn't even beat the great Gray-sama." Gray interrupted. Link noticed the boy with spiky black hair and dark blue eyes. He was only wearing blue underwear.
"Gray your clothes…" Cana muttered.
Gray looked in shock. "Not again!" he searched around for his clothes.
Link stayed silent. "Why would he want to fight her? She seems lonely…" Link muttered. As he looked into her eye as she turned away minding her business.
"Hey bastard, don't just ignore me? Aren't you going to bow to my greatness?" Gray asked him.
"Why should I? I haven't seen you do anything great from you. Let alone its rude to interrupt someone talking with someone else." Link explained.
Gray got mad as he threw a punch. As Link bopped his head to the side as the grabbed his wrist. He punched Gray in the ribs as he Link flipped him on his back. People around the guild were laughing at him.
"The Great Gray-sama beaten by up by his guest!" someone joked.
Gray got up again as tried punching him. Link simply backhands him sending sprawling to the floor.
Link didn't even look amused by this. He saw the boy slamming his hands together as Link sense magic was coming. Link reached for his Glided Sword.
"Ice Make…" Gray muttered. As he stopped to notice a blade at his throat as small amount of blood dribbled from it.
"You should stop now…" Link demanded. Gray stopped generating magic as he pulled his sword of his neck. "I just came to the guild because Gildarts said I could stay for the night. But respect is earned by giving it to others, you should best remember that. Casting magic in a guild can hurt someone badly you know."
Link flicked the blood off his sword as he sheathed. "Damn…" someone muttered.
"That was actually fast he managed to pull it out before he used a spell."
Link flicked the blood off from his sword as Gray held his throat to see no more blood was coming out. "Bastard…"
"That is enough Gray." A voice called out.
Gray turned to the short man sitting on the counter. Gray crossed his arms over his head, annoyed. "Ok master." He muttered.
"Link, can I have a word with you?" the old man asked him.
Link came over to the bar to the old man. He sensed something was off about him.
"Welcome to our guild Link, I am sorry you had to deal with Gray so soon. He is reckless and a bit stubborn, still when he is not acknowledged. My name is Makarov Dreyar; I am the guild master of Fairy Tail." Makarov introduced himself.
Link gave a short bow. "Thank you for having me here, even though it's for a short period of time." Link thanked him.
Makarov looked at his eyes and at the other kids. "He defiantly has manners unlike the other kids, but something about him. It seems like he is not just some child." Makarov thought.
"Gildarts told me you guided him here and you showed him what a Fairy looks like. It's amazing to even hear that a myth is real nowadays, but you also possess time magic. Is this true?" Makarov told him.
Link nodded. "I like to not use it unless it's an emergency, but the man was couldn't live in a broken house for the night. Playing with time is dangerous so, I usually try to let things be." Link explained.
Makarov nodded to the answer. "So you are a mage after all?" Makarov explained.
"I am swordsman that knows magic…" Link replied.
"I am guessing mages in your land dedicate themselves only to magic and nothing more. So that means you picked up a sword, long before you obtained magic?" Makarov reasoned.
Link nodded. "That is correct?" Link answered him.
"So I see you have your own goals already in place. Let me show you to the spare room we keep inside the guild. Then you can set down in eat and talk to the other children in the guild." Makarov told him.
Link nodded as he followed the old man in the guild down stairs in the guild. It was like a basement that was a bit smaller than the first floor of the guild. It had wooden crates stacked in a corner on the stone floor. Wooden beams held up the first floor over their heads.
"This is the basement floor?" Link muttered.
Makarov nodded. "Of course this floor is only used in emergencies' or store things. Ah here we are?" Makarov told him.
He opened the door to reveal a small room meant for an inn. It had only the basic needs like a bed, dresser, and bathroom.
"This will do…" Link told him.
Makarov pointed out to magical washing machine outside the door. "I will have one of the barmaids help clean up your clothes before you leave the guild. Whatever mission you are on Link, you will need to presentable for your client. Since we have to open the guild doors early each morning I will have someone come down and get you just in case you sleep in. You can get settled in for now and then come back upstairs to eat."
Link nodded as he turned back to the room and entered it. He sighed as he looked up at the ceiling.
"I wonder what tomorrow will be like…" Link muttered as he tossed his pouch on his desk.
