Chapter 2
I cannot believe this.
My grandchild's friends have been taken by monsters, and he is now trapped in the Twilight. No longer in the form of a man, the hero now wears the guise of a savage wolf. Chained in Hyrule castle, He was rescued by the Twili girl Minda, who has made him into her errand boy. At the behest of both this transformed imp and the cowardly princess of Hyrule, he is running around, trying desperately to save his friends.
How dare they.
I fight back the urge to intervene, because he is even now gathering the tears of light for the first light spirit. Out of their manipulations, light shall soon return to Faron woods. No, I shall go ahead with my original plan, and allow this to go on... so long as it leads to the land of Hyrule being saved from the King of Evil and his twisted Twili usurper. For the greater good, I am allowing my own flesh and blood to be used like a puppet.
What would his grandmother think of me now?
The Twili... I know of them. They were a dark tribe that invaded Hyrule, over a millenia ago. The villains sought to force their way into the Sacred Realm, and seize the Triforce for themselves. After a long and costly war, they were defeated, and banished into the Twilight World. It was because of the war they caused that the Ancient Sages Created the door of time, and used the Master Sword to seal the entrance to the sacred realm. They hoped to keep the power of the gods away from's evil's grasp.
But that didn't stop Ganondorf.
When I was alive, I encountered the Twili's evil first hand. That blasted Mask of Majora, which had tried to bring the moon down on Termina. It had been a tool the Twili had used in their hexing rituals. But it was not the only evil artifact they had left behind. Their king's armor, the Fused Shadow, still remained in Hyrule. The light spirits sealed it's dark power away. Now, Minda is after it. She would use my boy as a pawn to recover her throne from Zant.
Goddesses, how I hate her.
I would rather the boy have been left to live an idyllic life has a ranch hand, than to have this fate befall him. He has been so happy, much as I was with Saria in the kokriri forest with Saria in my childhood. Colin, the boy wishes so much to be like him. And Illia... She has much of Malon's strength in her, and her love of horses. I don't care for how she snapped at young link, but she is still a good person at heart... a decent match for my boy. How could such a perfect life had gone so horribly wrong?
It is the fate of those who follow in my bloodline, I suppose...
Still, a life of adventuring is a life well lived. Sleeping out under the stars, fighting monsters, living off the Rupees the Minish leave under the bushes I cut. Wither it was Selling Poes to a cranky old Subrosian living in the ruins of old Hyrule castle, or Racing the soul of a dead grave keeper to earn a Hookshot, I always lived life to it's fullest. I never would of left that happy existence had I not wanted to start a family. I am always sad, though, I was never able to find an old friend of mine, I lost so long ago...
Navi...
He has succeeded! The Twilight has been driven back from this forest! I see him there, clad in the green of the forest as I once was... The fate of Hyrule is secure now, I am sure of it. He will be coming to the forest temple soon, to Recover the first piece of the fused Shadow. And I will be there, waiting for him. From me, he will learn the teachings of old. But I wish I could tell him so much more! Tell him how proud of him I am, how I wished I could have been there when he was growing up. But there is no time, I must train him quickly if we are to defeat this evil.
The Hero of Twilight is approaching the temple, It is time...
