Hazna laid across a fairly large and fluffy bed and sighed out of boredom. She had been forced to come to the castle almost a month ago and Princess Zelda would not tell her why.
"We need your help with something soon," Zelda told her upon arrival. "Since I do not wish for anything to happen to you until we are fully ready, I want you to stay in the castle. Here you will be able to be protected by my guards until the time has come." She had some of her guards show her to her room and bits of the rest of the castle she would need to use during her stay. She was then brought back to her room for the night, and the guards stood outside the door so she could not leave to wander.
She groaned in annoyance. She had asked the princess more than fifty times and never got an answer from her. She wished she wasn't left out in the dark, really if she's going to be involved she should get to know what is going on.
Hazna stretched slightly before hoping out of the bed and walking to the window. She looked out the window and checked out the view she had of Hyrule from here, it was pretty amazing. From first glance, one would think that Hyrule was a peaceful Kingdom, but she knew. When she first arrived to the castle, something was wrong. She could feel the shadows sway unnaturally, but no one else seemed to notice it. She shrugged it off, thinking it was only her nerves acting up. Unfortunately, in the month the feeling only has gotten worse. As if, the shadows were gaining more and more power. Even now, as she looked down at the kingdom, she could feel the sense of evil and destruction that wasn't even there.
A knock at the door, Hazna turned her attention from the window to the large door of her room. She walked a bit closer to the door, but not too close. She cleared her throat quietly.
"Yes?" Hazna questioned to whoever was on the other side of the door. The door slowly opened, after she spoke, and revealed two guards, dressed in the Hyrulian uniform, standing there.
"Lady Hazna. The Princess wishes for you to meet her and the hero in the south wing of the castle," one guard spoke.
"We are here to escort you there," the other added on to what the first had left off.
"Fine, let's go," she sighed at the two.
The two guards led her through the twisting hallways towards the southern end of the castle. Neither of the guards spoke, as normal for most of the guards. Hazna followed quietly behind the two, not knowing exactly where in the south end she was supposed to go. It was almost completely quiet in the castle. That is, except for the sounds of their footsteps and the torches flickering on the walls.
After what seemed like countless minutes, they arrived to a passageway leading to steps going downstairs. The two guards bowed politely and left Hazna there. She looked at the dark stairway, the only light appearing to come from a single torch at the bottom. She swiftly descended the stairs to the bottom. Once at the last step, Hazna walked down the short hallway, which opened up to a fairly large room with a stone slab in the middle. Candles surrounded the room and two familiar figures stood near the center.
Hazna stepped forward, creating an echo in the almost empty room. Both the Hero and Princess Zelda looked back at her. Zelda smiled sweetly and went to her, dragging her back to the center. She placed Hazna in front of the slab and stepped back slightly to speak to her.
"We can now do the task we needed from you," Zelda took her with a smile.
"And do I get to know what is it that I'm to do?" Hazna questioned, looking back at the princess.
"Well, you see. Back a while ago, a good two hundred years, the Hero of Time was aided by a great warrior named Sheik. He died in the battle against Ganon and his soul was trapped where the great Triforce is located. Only one with a great connection to the Goddesses can bring him back into this world to aid Hyrule kingdom once again, and that's where you come in," Zelda said as if she was telling a great tale of the history of Hyrule.
"Huh," was Hazna's response with a single raised eyebrow. The hero laughed slightly at her confusion and received a glare from Zelda that made him shut up. Zelda turned back to face Hazna again with a smile on her face.
"Well, you're one of the goddesses reborn, the goddess Nayru. Being a reborn goddess means, you have a connection with the Triforce, though you won't be as strong as the original goddesses. So, we need to summon forth the warrior," Zelda filled in, acting as if it was a piece of cake to do but Hazna had never tried anything like this.
"I don't know how this will work but I can try," she sighed, stepping up so she was directly in front of the slab.
"Good. Now, just place your hands in front of you, a bit off the slab, and think about the great warrior. Just concentrate on that and he should come forth," Zelda told her with reassuring tone. Both the princess and the Hero, Link, stepped back giving her some room.
Hazna sighed again and closed her eyes. She began to think of the warrior, only the warrior. Soon, the slab began to glow, something was happening.
