Here is the Revision of chapter two of ND YOS (New Divide: Year of the Shadow). In this chapter there's a new ally of the team. So I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Today is the third of March.

Now I have an ocarina so whenever I want the day to be over, I can play the Sun's Song to cheat. Now I have much better coordination, skill and strength, so now I don't trip when my attacks are parried away. I've learned to recover from them quickly.

I've found a fighting style that fits me. I've been using moves I saw in Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess. For now I just know the back slice and the mortal draw. I like how my enemies think I gave up, but when they get too close to me, they get a sword in their face.

I've gotten a lot better at swordplay. There is one thing I just don't get, why did the Master Sword accept me. I've been wondering that for a year now.

I got confused again today. The confusion started in school (when don't you get confused in school but, this is different). We went to a middle school in Loveland, Colorado called Bill Reed. There were two new kids today (one boy and one girl).

The girl's name was Jessica. The boy's name was Tyler.

I was part of this program at our school that was called Welcome Warriors. What I do is show the new kids around the school and introduce them to the teachers. I was assigned to the new sevies (what my school calls seventh graders).

Jessica was a nice person. Tyler on the other hand was an asshole.

After we left Mr. Leonard's room, I asked them, "Where did you come from?"

When I asked them that they hesitated before Jessica said, "Berthoud."

"So you went to Turner Middle School. Don't know much about that school." I said, "What about you Tyler?"

He still hesitated which worried me a little with my secret life. "Tyler?" I looked back and saw Tyler disappear in a poof of black smoke. "what the fuck!" I said. When the smoke cleared I saw shadow Link. I summoned my Master Sword ready to fight. Jessica wasn't even afraid of the guy with red eyes and with a sword ready to kill anyone. Instead she turned into Shadow Saria.

Oh shit.Two Shadows aloneis not what I had in mind for late in the winter.

Shadow Link ran at me I parried his attack and I kicked him in the back of his knee, which made his knee give out on him. Then, I brought down my sword on him.

Like I said I've gotten better at this.

He disappeared in black smoke. Then, I turned my sword on Shadow Saria who yelled "stop! I need to talk." That confused me. I never thought Shadows ever wanted to not fight.

"I don't want to fight for Ganondorf anymore he's cruel to the Shadows."

"That is not a surprise to me. He is always cruel to everyone." I kept my sword in hand thinking it might be a trap.

"I want to be free from Ganondorf's dark magic."

"I can't really help you"

She looked a little disappointed with that. I realized she wasn't kidding. I've found her not to be like other Shadows. She didn't have very much anger, which confused me even more. "I might try to figure something out for something in exchange," I told her.

"Thank you, what do I have to do."

"Be my intell, and don't tell Link or the others about what happened just now."

"I can do that."

"Turn back into your human form." she did what I told her to do.

"Now how about we finish that tour." she nodded and followed me down to the second floor.


After school when we got home we went to the basement where when we got home we could relax and listen to some Linkin Park or Limp Bizkit. I asked Link and Saria, "I've been wondering this for years what happened to Hyrule," for as long as I've known those two they have never told us what had happened, the only things we knew is from the game Ocarina of Time since Link told us those events really happened in Hyrule.

Link and Saria looked at me with a sad look like it was a hard time for both of them. Then, Erin looked up from her manga and said, "Same here, what happened."

Erin can pay attention to her surroundings while reading. I could never do that.

"Okay, we'll tell you," said Link, "I failed as the Hero of Time. Ganondorf destroyed it."

"How? You told us the events of Ocarina of Time were true," I said.

"They are. But Ganondorf returned stronger and obtained the whole Triforce somehow. We were evacuated to this dimension for safety. Me and my father found Link passed out in the town and with the mark of the blood line on his left hand we found out he was my brother," Saria said.

"So you did meet one of your parents," I said

"Yes, and after that, he sent us here and you two found us," Link said.

"For all I know my father is dead," Saria said. She looked like the thought of her dad being dead was about to make her cry.

I wasn't very good in situations of other people's dead loved ones, so all I could say was, "Damn." I just couldn't find a way comfort her. I mean I've lived with her for four years and she's like another sister to me. "I had a dream about Hyrule one night. I think it just moved in this dimension somewhere but, I'm not sure about it," Link said. I left the room.

Later I got the crazy idea that I should try to go to Hyrule with the ocarina, because it might have an answer to the problem with Shadow Saria. So I played the Prelude of Light. I guess Link heard me and ran into my room. "ARE YOU CRAZY, MAN! I'm not sure if that dream was correct," he yelled after me. But he was too late I already finished the song, and started to disappear to what I hoped was a place with solid ground.

He's right, I amcrazy.

I just love leaving cliff hangers but, I won't leave one all time though. I have a deal for you guys if I get 50 reviews on ND YOS I will release the prequel of New Divide. It will explain Link's side of the story. Please Review.
