Chapter the Second, The Journey Begins.
Brone sat in shock. A torch blazed to the side, and the crackle of the flame was the only sound in the room for the moment.
"Brone, please follow me, not much time is left, we must prepare you for your journey." Said the Princess.
"But I have so many questions to ask, we can't go now!" Brone stammered, worriedly.
"Please Brone, I will tell you what I can with what time permits on our way to the Great Hall. But please, we must go."
The Princess quickly left the room with Brone following behind. They walked very quickly down long corridors, and the Princess told Brone of his line of blood, and of the Great Evil.
"Many years ago, in the land of the Gerudo in the deserts to the West, a male was born, a male that would become the new King of the Gerudo, for this only happens every 100 years. But this future King had a dark heart, for all he desired was power. It was Ganondorf's wish to obtain the Triforce; the most powerful, sacred item in all of Hyrule, for it was created just after the creation of Hyrule, and will give power to its owner, for good or evil.
'One stormy evening, Ganondorf stormed into the Royal Castle, and tried to take the throne, and the Triforce. He killed the King of Hyrule, and many guards trying to save him. The Princess Zelda, my ancestor, was able to escape by the help of her guardian Impa.
'But he was not able to take the Triforce, for it was sealed in the Temple of Time, only to be open by the Song played by the One Hero.
'A young Hylian boy named Link, was sent on a mission, to retrieve three precious stones; the spiritual stones of the Forest, Fire, and Water. Once he retrieved them all, he brought them to the Temple, and opened the Doors of Time. Once inside he pulled the Master Blade from its pedestal, and the Sages sealed his soul for many years, until he was grown up.
'Once he was able to pull the Master Sword, he began his quest. He was able to defeat Ganondorf and save all of Hyrule. But the spirit of Ganondorf was able to live, but was very weakened. His spirit wandered for centuries, gathering strength and summoning all evil to him.
'Once he was spirit was strengthened, he took form, and sent his army upon my castle. For weeks the battle enraged on the grounds and fields of my castle, the marketplace was destroyed, and many innocents were killed. I was able to escape, and my father fled to Kakariko village."
The Princess stopped then looked to the floor with a tear in her eye. Brone stood still and watched with silence. She then wiped her eyes and then started walking quickly again, until they came to the Great Hall. It was filled with many Zoras and Hyrulians taking refuge.
Brone was escorted to a small room where he was given supplies for the journey. He was given a new tunic, which was gray in color but seemed to change to the hue of the surroundings as he moved. He was also given a round shield with carvings around of The Triforce surrounded by what appeared to be flowing water, a flame, and vines with leaves. Next he was given a long bow, with a quiver of golden arrows. Princess Zelda entered then with something in her hand, that appeared to be long, and there was a blue velvet cloth around it tied by golden rope on the ends. She handed to Brone the long item and he took it wand stared at her.
"This is the weapon of the Hero of Time, passed down through the ages." she said to Brone.
Brone then untied the golden rope and lifted the cloth. He held in his hand a long sword, with a black hilt and intricate carvings all around. He looked at it in amazement and it seemed to glow and shine, though it was so old. He then ran it down his finger and a small cut appeared and a drop of blood began to well up.
"It is called the Master Blade and it will help you greatly on your journey." She then handed him a golden sheath for the mast blade, which he tied around his waist.
Brone stayed in the Zora Domain for 4 more nights until the 5th day he was ready to mount Somber and ride. The Princess saw him off and kissed his cheek and wished him luck. Then he rode hard and fast with map in hand towards the West.
