Chapter 2

Link felt himself being carried through the vortex at an incredible speed. The colors were almost nauseating causing Link to close his eyes several times. Link lifted his head and covered his eyes as he could see that there was a bright light at the end of the vortex, and he was rapidly approaching. Is that the end of it, Link wondered to himself as the bright white light grew closer and closer. Before he knew it he had reached the light which was so bright that Link had to cover his eyes from the brightness. When Link opened them he noticed that he was in the air and was rapidly falling. He looked below him and saw a bunch of trees. He let out a little yell as he was very high up in the air. Then he noticed that he was right above a body of water. The water was murky and Link couldn't really tell the depth of the body of water, but it looked rather dirty. Before he knew it he land face first in the water which was actually rater deep. Link hit the water so suddenly that he did not have the time to close his mouth. He could feel the foul tasting water fill his mouth which he closed immediately but that did not stop some of it from going down his throat causing him to accidentally swallow it. He swam up to the surface as fast as he could. When he reached the surface he swam over to a place where he could get out of the water. Once he got out of the water he pulled himself out of the water and was soaking wet. He began coughing immediately from the taste of the water that he had managed to accidentally swallow. After a little bit he sat down to let himself dry for a little while and to catch his breath from what had just happened. Where am I, Link thought to himself. Looking around at all the trees and plants that lay on the ground Link could not recognize anything that he saw. When he had finally dried off Link continued looking around and saw that he had landed in a swamp. He turned looking for some sign of a road or path that he could follow. He walked through the trees and could see something and so he quickened his pace. He came to something that he had never seen before. In front of him was a rather wide space that was black and had yellow lines and dashes on it. What is this, Link thought. He looked down one end and then looked down the other and saw that it seemingly did not stop. Maybe this is a road, Link thought, I'll follow it and see where it takes me. Link started to walk along the side of the road. He had been walking for a while when he saw a rock path. Link followed it and the path started getting a little narrower and Link started to watch his step a little more closely. When he reached the end of the path he looked around and stood staring into a huge mess. There were mountains upon mountains of things that looked like they had aged a great deal and were falling apart. Maybe there is something here that I can find that will tell me where I am, Link thought. He took careful steps down into the mounds of countless items. Looking around he saw that many of the things there were broken and would not work, but he decided to continue looking around for any indication of where he might be. He stopped to wipe some sweat from his forehead when he suddenly heard a noise. He started to creep forward as slowly and as quietly as he could. He found himself climbing over some things and once he got high enough he could see a figure. He started to could see that it was a girl from her clothing. He leaned in to try and get a closer look but suddenly the thing that he was standing on gave way and Link started to tumble downward. He hit his head on something and closed his eyes as he put his hand to his head. When he opened his eyes the girl was standing in front of him. She had her hand on her chin and her eyes started darting over Link, and he could see that her eyes seemed to be filled with worry and surprise. He was just about to ask her where he was but that is when he saw what the girl was holding. In her hand there was a blade of some sort. Link's eyes widened as he started to reach for the Master Sword.

"Are you alright," the girl asked in a worried voice.

Link got to his feet and drew the Master Sword. The girl's eyes widened when he drew the blade. He slowly started backing away from the girl. I shouldn't get into a fight, Link thought, if I was to get hurt I do not even know where to go to get some kind of help. Once Link was at what he thought was a safe distance he turned and ran in the direction of the rock path that had led him there. He put the sword back into its scabbard and started running along the path as fast as he could. Once he got to what he thought was a safe distance he stopped to catch his breath and saw that he was once again standing by this large black path that was separated with the yellow lines and dashes. He then heard a sound that he had not heard when he was by this thing before. He looked and saw this odd shaped thing coming towards him. It was an odd shape that had wheels and there was glass so Link could see inside it. At the front there were to round things that were giving off lights that were rather bright. Then there came this loud noise that seemed to be coming from the thing that was coming towards him. Link noticed that it was coming at him with some speed and Link backed off as the thing sped past him. What was that, Link wondered as he stared after it. He continued to walk alongside the road for a while. He stopped when he saw a sign with an arrow.

"Okinomiya," Link read aloud just so something would break the silence that he was standing in, "Maybe there is where I will be able to find out more about where I am."

Linked noticed that the sun was starting to set, so he quickened his pace and before long Link could see a bunch of houses, but they looked really strange. They were larger than any houses Link had ever seen, and they were square all the way up with no tops that were triangular like the ones that he had seen in Hyrule and other places. He also noticed that these buildings had quite a few windows which while in Hyrule the houses had windows but not like this many of these buildings had a lot more windows than any that Link had seen before. He continued down into the place and could see where the people were walking separated from where the strange objects like the one that he had encountered before were. He quickly found a spot where the people were walking and got over onto it. He started walking down looking for someplace that would be able to help him find out where he was. It was then that he noticed some of the doors on the buildings were seemingly made of glass. He noticed the people were wearing clothes that Link had never seen. Some of the women were wearing skirts, but other than that Link was unfamiliar with the clothing that these people were wearing. He noticed that he must look very strange to them because as he walked he notice that they were giving him looks that made him wonder if they thought he was crazy or something. He then stopped in front of a building that from the looks of it sold things. He then heard a voice of someone.

"We apologized," the voice stated, "Why can't you leave us be."

"Your apology is not going to do shit for the scratched paint job of my motorcycle," a voice shot back.

Link hurried in the direction in which the voices came from. When he got there he stood in the opening of an alleyway. Standing there were two little girls surrounded by three men that were the ones that seemed to be bullying them. Link knew that he had to stop this and began to walk into the alley.
