Hey guys! You are probably wondering why I have not updated this story in a while! Well, there are 2 reasons why, and I believe that you should know them: 1. I did update my Chapter 19 on the other story, but I seriously had major writer's block for a long time. It isn't until just recently (like 5 minutes ago lol) that I have found my inspiration for this story again. 2. I was seriously disheartened when I lost the papers that had the titles and notes of my later chapters for my first story, True Love. I seriously lost all inspiration to write for both stories, until I found those papers yesterday! (Thank the Goddesses!) So without further ado, enjoy the little chapter! I have decided to add a prophecy in here, because it just seemed necessary.


Link's POV

Link slowly opened his eyes to the bright beautiful blue sky. The hot rays of the morning Sun beat down on him as he slowly rose and turned to look at Zelda's sleeping figure. She looked very peaceful in her sleep, with her hair sprawled out all across the blanket.

Carefully as not to wake her, Link gently stood up and climbed out of the blanket. He rubbed his eyes and patted his messy hair down to normal. Putting his green cap on and grabbing his sword, he decided that he was going to explore the woods around them.

He tiptoed quietly until their base camp was out of sight, and then began to run. He didn't exactly know where he was headed, but he had the impulse to go somewhere. Eventually, he came across a large cave. Inside of it, he spotted a faint glow. Letting his curiosity get the best of him, he entered the cave with nothing but his sword and shield.

As he roamed around the cave, he had a strong foreboding was extremely wrong. Usually a cave would have all sorts of terrifying, ugly, and gruesome monsters in it, but that cave was just simply bare! Exploring a bit more, he came across the mysterious light that caused his curiosity.

However, the light was not what it seemed to be. It was the glow of a lantern held by a skull hand. "What in the world is that?" Link asked out loud. Suddenly, the latent began to move as Link heard a familiar giggle.

"You found me!" the skull kid exclaimed as he smiled mischeviously at Link. Giggling some more, the skull kid then ran deeper into the cave. Link gasped and followed him.

Soon, he eventually caught up to the Skull Kid. They were in a dark chamber with a shiny metal bed. The skull kid giggled once more, and coaxed Link to lie down.

Against Link's better judgement, he cautiously approached the bed. Raising an eyebrow, he patted the bed to make sure that this wasn't a trap.

Suddenly, the skull kid forcefully pushed him onto the bed. Link gasped and struggled as he tied him up with chains.

"Skull kid? This is not like you! What's gotten into you?!" Link exclaimed. The skull kid simply shrugged and smiled at him. "Let's just say that I met a very nice man who changed my life! Hee hee! See you later!" he smiled and waved. He then pushed a button and vanished from the sight.

The room begun to shook as a large weapon descended from the ceiling. It was aimed right at Link's chest. Link screamed in fear and looked around the room, praying that he wouldn't die...

Zelda's POV

Meanwhile, Zelda woke up a couple of minutes later. Finding that Link was gone, she decided to go check on her beautiful home of Hyrule. She wasn't going to return permanently, but she did worry for her father. Instead, she would disguise herself as an old peasant and explore the village surrounding Hyrule Castle.

As she entered the village, she saw a lot of poor, smelly, and dirty citizens huddled in a corner with wide eyes that were full of fear. "What is going on here?" she asked in the best old voice that she could muster.

One of the citizens coughed up blood before they turned to her. "The dark one has arisen." they replied in a raspy voice. "What in the name of Hyrule does that mean?" Zelda asked with a hint of fear in her voice.

"It means that an evil man is now ruling the kingdom. Ever since Princess Zelda mysteriously disappeared, the man has taken over Hyrule. He easily overpowered the king, and ever since then, Hyrule has been in total complete chaos."

Zelda's eyes widened. "Oh, um thank you. I must go now." she nodded, before running quickly towards the castle.

As she entered the castle, she heard an evil chuckle. "Well it's about time, princess. I thought you'd never come." a dark and raspy voice said. As she opened the door a bit more, she saw a dark figure sitting on the throne of her father.

"Ok, I have many questions to ask you. First off, who are you? Second, why are you sitting on my father's throne? Lastly, why are you terrorizing the people of my kingdom?" Zelda asked.

The mysterious man chuckled. "My name is not important, but you may call me the Demon of the Night if you wish. I refuse to answer your questions, because you do not need to worry about me. However, your precious knight in shining armor on the other hand..."

"What did you do to Link?" Zelda snarled. She stepped closer to the Demon, and deeply glared at him.

"Woah woah, calm down princess. I did nothing to the boy. It was one of my most loyal companions that did the terrific deed. See, with him out of the way there is no one left to protect you from evil. I shall murder you myself, and very soon."

Zelda eyes widened and she gasped. "Where is my father?" she demanded.

"He is safe, for now at least. I have him somewhere locked away, and you'll never know where."

Suddenly, the Demon reached out and grabbed Zelda's arm very tightly. She tried to pull back, but his grip was too strong. He smirked at her before standing up and forcing her to walk out of the room.

They traveled from room to room, heading towards the back part of the castle. He made sure to stay behind her with that same strong grip. He kicked her legs, forcing her to keep walking towards her doom.

Eventually, they arrived in the dungeons of the castle. He put chains around her wrists and loosened his grip on her arm. The minute that she was free, she gasped and cradled her sore arm.

"I'll be back for you very soon.I just have to pick which of my favorite weapons I should use for your execution. Oh, and don't go anywhere! As if you could.. MUAHAHAHA!" the Demon laughed evilly, as he slammed the heavy iron door.

Zelda pulled on her chains as hard as she could. Thinking about Link, she was at a point of defeat. There's no way that he could still be alive after the events of today she thought.

As she contemplated of what she should think about in her last moments of life, she didn't notice the triforce glare of the light in the center of the room. It was only until a loud noise startled her that she saw it.

A band of light exploded in front of her. Peeking gently, she saw the great goddess Farore standing in front of her.

Zelda gasped and quickly stood up a bit more. Farore was quiet for a minute, but she was gathering a huge ball of magic up. As she was fully charged, she sent it against Zelda's chains. They broke in an instant second, leaving Zelda free.

Heroine of wisdom, heed my warning. Do not waste any time, but go back to your camp. Head north until you find a large cave, and go through it. Your hero is suffering, and this is his time of need. Go to him. After you rescue him, you must meet me back at your camp. I have some important news to tell you, and an important item to bestow upon you.

Zelda nodded and quickly ran across the room, bursting open the door. Running out into the hall, she practically flew down the steps towards the entrance.

After leaving the castle, she headed right for the camp. Looking around, she saw all the stuff that they had. "If I'm going to save my hero, I must find something useful that I could potentially fight with." Zelda said out loud. Scrounging around the camp, she came across a small yet sharp dagger.

"This is perfect!" she happily exclaimed. Gathering all of her courage, she headed deeper into the forest until she reached the cave that Link was trapped in.

Going inside, she screamed his name as loud as she could. "LINK! LINK CAN YOU HEAR ME!? HHHEEEELLLLOOOOOOO?!" she exclaimed.

"ZELDA? ZELDA, HELP MEEE!" she heard a loud voice scream back. Running towards its noise, she saw Link attached to the metal bed.

"Link? Link! It's alright, I'm here for you!" Zelda exclaimed with joyful tears in her eyes. As she prepared to untie him though, she noticed that something was terribly wrong.

Link had blood on his shirt from the wound that the weapon had created. It dug deeper into his skin, making him scream in agony. Zelda gasped and quickly looked around for the source to shut it off.

Even as she hit the button, she noticed that he had lost a lot of blood.

Link softly groaned as she pushed the large weapon away from him. He seemed fine, other than the large damage it had done to his skin.

As Zelda examined it, she realized that none of his internal organs were too damaged. Sighing in relief, she gently picked him up and attempted to carry him back to the camp.

As she ran back, Zelda grunted with great hardship. Link was extremely heavy from all the armor he was wearing. Instead of taking it off though, she kept it on. It's probably the only thing that is keeping him from fainting she thought.

When she got back to the camp, she gently laid Link down onto the blanket and began to patch up all of his injuries.

Link's POV

Link smiled as he stared up at his heroine. "You are such a good doctor, Zelda." he barely managed to croak.

"Sssh, don't speak Link. You need to rest." Zelda gently suggested.

Suddenly, the familiar glow of the triforce on the ground startled them both. Farore appeared, smiling down at her two heroes.

Looking at Link, she nodded as she noticed his injuries. Putting her hand on his shoulder, she healed his grave injuries in no time.

Now facing both of them, she began to speak in her familiar voice:

Children of wisdom and courage, you are foolish to run away from your responsibilities. Hyrule is in its darkest hour, and you must be there to protect it. If you don't, it will effect the entire future, and cause a disruption to the chain of events that shall unfold otherwise. Please take this prophecy, decipher it, and go back to protecting Hyrule. For if you don't, evil will overpower everyone, causing Hyrule to crumble in flames.

With that being said, Farore vanished again, this time leaving a scroll behind.

Zelda gasped at the scroll and excitedly unraveled it. Looking at it, she realized that indeed it had a prophecy within the contents:

A broken spirit lies within the walls of the past

His life slips away, surely not to last

Evil surrounds Hyrule without any threat

Leaving all its citizens to be poor and in debt

A princess who defied her father and ran away

Must make it up with her hero to save the day

They must rescue the broken spirit of a man first

Only after then, they can prepare for the worst

The hero who must rescue all of the land

Must first learn the history to understand

He must travel through the most difficult forest day and night

The same forest that has caused many people fright

The book of knowledge lies within an ancient heart

It shall fill the hero with knowledge, making him very smart

Lest they fail, they shall meet their doom

And the evil shall triumph throughout the room

You must journey to the skies, to the twenty seventh moon

Only then shall you understand when to strike, and how soon

A lost world only known to a few

Must also be rescued too

It had its moments of a beautiful time

Until it ended with tragic crime

The citizens were happy until the great battle began, as they tried to fend

The whole world was destroyed instead and forced to descend

Do not make the same mistake twice

Or the world shall end in a trice

The evil that you wish to seize

Is not exactly where you please

After you learn the history of the doomed world, come to the three

Join them together to get a chance to talk to me

I have something else that will suit you just right

It will probably raise your hopes and fill you with delight

Stick together, and don't let Hyrule fall

And most definitely never surrender above all

For if you do succeed in your final quest

The world shall be rid of all and every pest

Finally your world shall be free

And you will never have to worry, for it is safe with me
