A/N: Welcome all who read the first chapter and thought it was good enough to continue on! I hope that you press the button on the bottom of this page! You know the one...
The young hero stared in amazement of the vast cave he stood in. There was another waterfall coming out of a small hole in the wall, where behind it, there was another small alcove. The main floor was really a crystal blue pool of pure water. There were upraised stone paths that stood above the pool, and it spit off into two directions. One way to stairs carved out of the cavern wall. The other did lead to a solid floor that turned around a large pillar that reached from the bottom of the cave to the top.
He rushed up the stairs, giving out quick greetings to the fish-men, known as Zora's, that he passed by. Out of breath, climbed the last, small set of stairs set in front of the throne of King Zora. He tried to speak, but could only pant at the moment.
"Hmm? And who is this young child before me?" The fat fish spoke in his nasally voice.
"My name... Is Link... I have come to... save your daughter, Ruto." He was only able to say a few words at a time, for those stairs were really long and steep.
"My daughter?" the king started, "she is in no need of saving, why would a boy like yourself ever think that?" the stubborn king finished his statement, seeming to shift a little to the right.
"I found this, in Lake Hylia." Link held up a scrap of paper that Ruto herself wrote, calling out for help from anyone who found her note.
"So she was swallowed up by Jabu-Jabu, eh? Well, I guess I must let you help her. Please do not fail to rescue my beloved fish-child." At the end of his speech, the king ever-so slowly, painfully slowly, AGONIZINGLY SLOWLY, scooted away from the tunnel behind him that led to Zora's Fountain. Link nodded his head in thanks and ran on through the tunnel.
All he knew was light. Eternal and blinding, it surrounded him with its brilliant glory, choked him, blinded his eyes, and deafened his ears. It was insanely horrifying and amazing. Finally, it resided. The darkness was no better, except it did not feel like an eternity as the light did.
Gingerly he, found his way through the endless blackness, and found an opening in the side of a cold wall. He was standing in a courtyard, softly lighted by the glow of a full moon. In the distance, a large castle towered over a garden that stretched out for what seemed like miles.
Strange, this was not the past he remembered... but perhaps it had been too long since he last laid eyes on this time.
Ghirahim snapped his fingers, envisioning the exact location he would like to be, but nothing happened. Again, he tried snapping his fingers to teleport himself. And again, nothing.
He turned to look at the temple he had come out of, and knew that he was not in the right time. It was made of a grayish brown stone, with indentations in the front wall. Above the archway inside, there was a design of three triangles, stacked on top of one another to form one whole triangle. Ghirahim fumed, this was definitely not where he was supposed to be.
[Blasted old woman! She and the other servants of the goddess tricked me! When I get my hands on the skychild...] he raged on silently in his mind. Before long though, he had calmed down enough to think coherent thoughts again. Looking over at the palace, an idea formed in his head.
A/N: So. I know this one is kinda short (or REALLY short) but tell me what you think! Because guys, (and gals) I am totally in the dark when it comes to viewer's opinions if no one reviews!It would make this author very happy if you did! :D
And did anyone else feel the same way about the stupid Zora King!? I mean, I WHY DOES HE MOVE SO SLOWLY!? After he's about half-way done, you have plenty of room to get past him, but NO! He must continue so scoot away, and you can't even skip it! Unlike in some of the other games... Anyway, I love how Ruto proposes to you. She is just so spunky! Gotta love the fish princess!
