Time: 4:22 P.M.
Location: A realm and building outside the flow of natural time.
Status: Unknown.

The wind howled as a storm billowed outside the castle like ruins. Within the gates of the inner sanctum were shelves upon shelves of books all of which held information of many worlds, people, places, and other beings. It is in this place where the one who watches over it all resides.

"It is far thought that time is a continuous thing, never ceasing, and always moving. Though that is not always the case. There are countless tales of time slowing, stopping, or going backwards. However that is not what has brought this up. A powerful force has awoken in the lands of Hyrule in the past and amongst the stars of the far future. Many would think that these two entirely different points would ever exist on the same timeline, yet they do. Others would never think that the flow of time would be disrupted in such a way that an individual from both points would end up being hurled across to the others world. And yet here we are seeing it happen... well I'm seeing it happen but that doesn't mean that others can. As such I have already been recording the events that have led up to this particular event."

A book is lazily lifted from one of the shelves and floats over to the man wearing grey robes. "This tells of the events that happen to Link, the Hero of Hyrule. Though there are no direct reference points I do believe that this takes part between the Twilight and the rise of an evil wind mage. Let us go back and see what has been wrought from the river of time."

Location: Hyrule Field, Faron Province.

It had been a few days since Link had been traveling across the face of the world. He had wanted to find other lands that needed saving but found none. He wanted to leave Hyrule completely but upon returning from his latest venture to escape the torment of his mind. He was set upon by the mailman.

"HEEEEEEYYY! I have a letter for Mr. Link from her Royal Highness: Princess Zelda." The mailman said as he handed the letter over to Link, The mailman turned and took off after saying his last line, "And now back to mail."

Link opened the letter and read what it entailed.

Link since you've been trying to escape what has transpired last year, I think that I have found what you have been looking for. Head for Labrynna something is going on there. Stop by the Great Maku Tree to find out what is going on.

Sincerely, Zelda

Link folded the letter back up before putting it in his pack. He had just gotten back from a land where there was a creature called Malladus, who was sealed away within the Spirit Tower which was maintained by a series of tracks imbued with magic. Link, having nothing better to do while in Hyrule, headed for the port, which had been built over a few months. Upon arriving he bought supplies for the trip as well as paid the fare for passage to Labrynna.

It took a few weeks to get there but upon arriving he disembarked from the ship and was immediately dragged to a building close by. Once inside there was a guy behind a counter, on either side of which were a red and blue jar. "Welcome, welcome. My name is Vasu. I am the local jeweler in this town please forgive the roughness of my over enthusiastic friend. It seems that they sensed some strange and powerful artifact when you got off the ship. If you do not mind may I take a look at it?"

Link looked at the jeweler for a moment and was about to leave but was blocked by two snakes, one red the other blue. Link was about to draw his sword but wound up getting the feeling that his pack was three items lighter.

"A dominion rod, a rare artifact of magic indeed, but these other two emit a foreboding aura that I've never sensed before." Vasu said just as Link turned around.

"You should feel terrified of those two artifacts." Link said as he reached out and took both of them. "They are both artifacts of powerful magic that can or could bring ruin to an entire land." He held the two items, one was a pieced together Twilit helmet and the other was the Wolf Crystal.

"Ah very interesting. I may be able to combine the power of all three items into a ring... if you would like." Vasu said taking note of Link's fierce gaze.

"It would free up some space in my pack... In fact I have another item to add to those." Link said as he dug out a small pieced together fragment of a black mirror. "I've carried these items with me everywhere I've gone. This mirror fragment took me the longest to put together. Would you know how hard it is to put together pieces of glass the size of a grain of sand?" He looked at Vasu for a moment.

"As a matter of fact I would. Very tedious. So you want me to make a ring for you out of these things?" Vasu asked.

"Yeah. I'm still keeping them with me though but having an alternate item that holds all four will be just as useful if I were to lose all of them." Link said as he placed the three Twili artifacts on the counter.

"Hmm well I'm afraid that there is much more material here for more than just a ring. Tell you what give me some time and I will have something even better than a ring for you when you come back." Vasu said examining the items.

"Fair enough, I've got something else to take care of anyways. I'm supposed to go and talk to the Maku Tree." Link said as he turned to leave.

"Ah very well carry on traveler. The Maku tree, she loves to talk so most likely by the time you get back to me I'll have the item finished." Vasu said as he got to work with the four items. Link nodded and left the Jeweler to his work and headed north, according to the map that had been included in the letter Zelda had given him, The Great Maku Tree would be a little ways north of where he was now.

It didn't take long till he was at the gate to the Maku Tree's grove. He looked at the nearby sign which read 'Gate to Maku Tree closed take alternate path instead.' Link shook his head and entered the cave but drew the Master Sword anyways. He didn't expect any real danger considering but proceeded with caution. He climbed a set of stair and came out in the grove of the Maku Tree. Upon first glance it just looked like a giant tree. Link walked in front of the tree and looked at it for a moment.

As he stared he heard a voice speak. "Oh. A visitor come to speak with me." A female voice said before the tree shifted slightly to reveal a face. "Welcome." A smile graced the lips of the face of the Maku Tree which was a bit odd but not to disturbing. "Might I ask why you've..." She trailed off upon seeing Link's appearance and something went through her mind as a distant and forgotten memory entered her thoughts. She stayed her tongue so as to not cause such an instance as this to become awkward. Instead she continued what she had originally began to say. "Might I ask why you've come to see me?" She said not able to with hold a slight lilting tone in her voice.

Link smirked as he had caught the tone but dismissed it. Instead he chose to state his reason for being there. "I've come here by request of Princess Zelda of Hyrule. I was told that something was going on here." Link said

After he said this he saw a pained look come upon the Maku Tree's face. "You're right... there is something going on here. There is a temple nearby that is dedicated to the Oracle of Time. I sense that something is happening there. It feels like someone is trying to gain the power to control Time, and I have no doubt that they will be headed to holodrum to steal the power over the Seasons. Please if you have been sent here it must be because of what is transpiring now. You must go now if you are to stop this being."

The gates opened shortly after and Link left with a high sense of urgency and speed in his step. He stopped by the jewelers quickly and was gifted with the sight of a few items.

"Ah welcome back. I just finished the final item. Seeing as you are in a hurry I shall make this as fast as I can." Vasu said as he laid each item out on the counter. He moved his hand to the first ring. "I call this The Wolf's Ring. For more than one reason of course. It grants you the speed and ferocity of a wolf, it may also allow for the transformation into one but I am not sure." Vasu moved over to a pair of gauntlets, "These two gloves have two different abilities. One I call the Dominion Glove, you should be able to wake sleeping statues with it. The other I call the Twilight Glove, for some reason it constantly emits an eerie light. Gives me the creeps." He then moved over to an Amulet. "I call this the Mirror Amulet. It should help in deflecting various magics." Vasu stopped to catch his breath and shiver at the eerie shroud that filled the air. "Since you are new to this land I will throw in a few things extra. Take this Ring Box with you and take this extra ring as well. I call it the Arcane Ring. While wearing it you should be able to use magic, which I can sense a bit flowing from you as it is. Also as a special bonus. You can wear both the Wolf's ring and the Arcane ring at the same time." Vasu said while Link took the items that had been crafted.

After taking the items Link left the jewelers place and headed to the shrine that he was told to head towards. He managed to find the shrine and sure enough there was someone standing in front of it. They seemed to be in the middle of chanting some kind of spell, which would prove their downfall for Link. Using as much stealth as possible he decided to give the new items a test run. First the Wolf's Ring, to which he felt the familiar ferocity of the wolf rush through him. Next was the Dominion glove and the Twilight glove, He didn't really feel much from them but would find out in due time. He then put on the Arcane Ring and felt a surge of energy flow to his hands. Lastly he put on the Mirror Amulet and felt a jolt rush through both shoulders and arms to the gauntlets and the rings. It felt as if the five items were connected now.

Shuddering from the flow of magic that rushed through him, Link quietly drew his sword from it's scabbard. Then without so much of a sound he rushed the mage. "Not so fast boy." The mage said before Link was hit with an invisible force. Link fell to the ground but got back to his feet and examined his opponent. "I don't have the time to deal with someone like you." the mage said as he returned to his chanting.

Link smirked and said, "Then make time." Link rushed the mage once again, which irked the mage a bit. The mage sent a bolt of lightning towards Link, which Link managed to evade with ease. At this point Link was close enough to the mage and managed to catch him across the right side.

"You insolent little..." The mage yelled in rage. "This will be the death of you." The mage threw a fire ball at Link, which he hit with his sword. The mage saw this and knocked it back towards Link. Link only smirked as he drew back and hit the sword with a fierce blow. The flames went black and radiated twilit particles as it rushed back to the mage. The fire ball made contact with the mage who got back to his feet even angrier than before but also a bit scared.

"Where did you learn such magic?" The mage asked warily. This question confused Link but he answered with a ruse. "The Twilight Realm." Which wasn't really that far from the actual truth. "Such magic is practically forbidden and yet you use it openly. Are you a dark mage who seeks the same power I do?" The mage asked. Link shook his head and took his stance, "No I'm no mage I've just learned a few tricks from a companion who went with me on a journey to save Hyrule... and her own realm as well." Link said as he began rushing the mage who charged up a bolt of lightning.

"Very interesting. You must mean the Twilight Princess." The mage said with a slight hiss as he released the lightning bolt at Link.

Link had rushed for the mage when he had said 'Twilight Princess' Unfortunately this was part of the mage's plan and Link was hit by the lightning bolt that was sent towards him. Thankfully part of the spell was reflected back to the mage and the other seemed to get absorbed into the other items, which caused Link's speed to increase. He even had a feral snarl on his face as he crouched to the ground, his sword behind him while his other hand was on the ground. In a blinding rush the mage was hit again and sent hurling into the shrine, where something seemed to shatter around the entire shrine.

The mage picked himself up off the ground and was speaking angrily. "ARG That smarts. But I have to say, Thank you for breaking the barrier." The mage walked over to a pedestal upon which rested a harp. The mage was walking towards the Harp but was thrown aside by Link who had begun running after the mage had said 'thank you'.

"Urah... Gah... I'll have you know BOY that power will be MINE!" The mage spat angrily while drawing upon another spell. Link rushed the mage again but was caught by the spell and sent flying backwards. Link lay on the ground in a crumpled heap and watched as the mage walked towards the pedestal again. "Finally. The power to control time is mine at last." The mage said with a slight sadistic tone to his voice, "and with it I shall be rid of pests like you once and for all." The mage said as he looked at link and began chanting. "Transcend the flow of time. Open a gate through time to a point where this would be hero would perish." sure enough the spell worked and a rift through time opened. The mage walked over to Link and laughed before using another spell to levitate Link into the air. Link was then hurled into the time vortex.

"Finally rid of that fool. Now to take control over the seasons. With the two combined I could bring misery to all." The mage said as he was engulfed in a bright light and was gone.

"Now... Link seems to have failed. But forget not that there is a second part of this story which must be told separately so as to not cause confusion between the two. I shall tell it to you in due time but know this. Link is soon to find himself in a worse state than he is now." The man says in a haunting tone.
