Link could hear his heart beating, it's racing sound echoing in his ear. The wolf, staring back at him, with terrible, horrible parilyzing eyes, oh dear, it's eyes! Like evil golden daggers peircing into his soul, into his heart! Link couldn't take it, but yet he could not take his eyes from the wolf's.
The wolf curled it's upperlip into a snarl. Link could hear a growl rise up from the ground that shook him, and left him off his feet. Link covered his eyes, not knowing what to do, for surely this creature was no mere wolf, but a demon.
Nothing happened. Why didn't the wolf attack? Link opened his eyes. Before Link was an empty road, bare and as still as before. "Welcome, Link, I've been expecting you." Came a deep female voice. Link turned around, and found himself face to face with the wolf again. But this time the wolf wasn't as threatening as before, although the voice sent shivers down his spine. "You are Link, Of the crested hand, aren't you? Speak, dear boy." The wolf demanded.
"Yes," Link meekly replied. "I am Link. But how do you know who I am?" The wolf ignored Link's question. " Link, I have been waiting for you, although I wasn't expecting a child. Follow me." And the wolf walked over to the edge of the road, and a path formed into the forest. The wolf started walking down it. Is this creature someone I can trust? What if it's a trap? Where am I? Link thought, but before he new it, he was walking down the path, following the wolf.
It had only been a few minutes when Link found himself on the outskirts of a town. "Stop here, and stay hidden from the villagers. Do so and I will explain why you are here." The wolf told Link, to which he nodded.
"Remember when you took the Master Sword? When you did, you were supposed to sleep for seven years. I watched you. I could not handle you not knowing who you are. I intercepted the Master Sword's magic and brought you here.
"I want you to watch that house infront of us. Be open and remember everything you see and hear, for you shall wake back in the Temple of Time when you have seen enough" And with that the wolf fell into scilence, as did Link.
A set of hooves clip-clopping in the distance was all that was heard. And it started to rain, although Link could not feel the drops fall on his body, nor could he feel the cold wind beat against his face, whipping his golden strands of hair around. Someone stirred inside the house.
A cloaked man emerged from the building, a sense of urgancy followed him as he hurried around the corner. Moments later the man returned with a horse, and he called "Quickly!". The door opened, and a woman walked out, holding a baby. She waved to the empty house as the man told her to haste. He helped her mount the horse, then quickly wrapped a blanked around the baby and it's mother, and then climbed onto the horse. The baby started weeping. "hush, hush now" the woman said gently. The hoof beats in the distance grew louder.
"Hiya!" The man commanded the horse to canter. And the horse carried them off into the woods.
Link didn't know why, but tears had formed in his eyes, and probably were running down his face, mixing with the rain. "Have you seen this before?" Asked the wolf after a few moments of scilence.
Link sighed, trying to keep his voice from shaking, but not succeding. "Yes, I saw it everynight in my dreams before-before I left home. Only-" Link couldn't finish his sentince.
"But now you will see what your dream had not told you, what happened afterwards." The wolf said in a soft voice, ushering in a scilence.
A child, a girl of age seven, left the house. She was crying, as well as shivering in the cold. In her hand she held a little eagle bone flute, and in her other was a bracelet. "Little brother" She said quietly, then blew into her flute. The melody was slow, the pitch was sweet, the song unfogettable.
The sound welled an emotion inside of Link, and the song consumed him.
Suddenly he understood. The girl was... the woman was... the baby was.... wait... Do I smell smoke? Link looked up, and saw the village in flames, and saw twelve men on giant horses standing only a few feet from him. Six of the riders headed into the woods. And to Link's horror, one of the six remaining was holding the girl's small unconsious fragile body. No! But link could do nothing. He stood there frozen. And then the world went into a blurr.
