●Chapter Four: The Light Spirit, Faron
Two figures stood before the Veil of Twilight. A shadow flickered before them.
"You know, you may not be able to return. Do you still want to enter?"
Link made an exasperated whuffing sound. "Of course!"
The imp grinned. "Alright then." The Veil rippled like water upon her entrance. A split second later, a giant hand whipped through and yanked the two wolves through to the other side.
Link shook out his fur and glanced around for his companions. A white form lay on the ground, not too far off. Somebody clicked their tongue.
"Over exposure," Midna declared, as she alighted on his back, "Her body must have been saturated with Twilit power when we found her. A trip to the light drained it, and then the Twilight tried to fill her again…"
Link walked over to stand next to his new friend. "Well we're not leaving her behind."
"Oh?" Though he couldn't see it, Midna had on what Cal would call her 'evil look.' "Well, in that case, there's something I'd like to discuss with you before she wakes up…"
Be careful…these woods…have changed… It had the same slow, resounding quality as Ordona's voice, but this one was slightly different.
"That would be the light spirit, then," Cal declared, walking through the spring.
In this Twilight…those who live in the light…become as mere spirits…It is a place…where dark ones and evil creatures dwell…
…I was…a spirit of light…Oh great beasts…look for my light…retrieve the light stolen by the dark beings…
The dark insects…bear the light…Find them…to retrieve my light… The voice faded away. Cal stretched.
"Bug hunt? This is gonna' be fun."
"Aww, but it was so nice here in the Twilight…What's so great about a world of light anyway?" The shadow imp laughed and vanished. The water and the rocks glowed blue, and a golden lemur appeared.
My name is Faron. I am one of the spirits of light who dwell in Hyrule. By the order of the gods, I protect this forest.
Oh brave youths…in the land covered in Twilight, where people roam as spirits, you became blue- and red-eyed beasts…That was a sign…a sign that ancient powers rest within you two…and that they are ready to awaken.
Look at your awakened forms…
The two glanced down…and then commenced a full inspection of their new outfits with looks of shock on their faces.
Link…The green tunic that is your garb once belonged to the ancient hero chosen by the gods…His is the true power that sleeps within you.
Cailin…Though your outfit differs, you bear the same cape as your ancestor. Though his powers were stolen, the gods are willing to let your family wield them again. Bring honor to the cape this time around. The girl bowed her head.
A dark power rests in the temple deep within these woods. It is a forbidden power. Long, long ago, I and the other spirits of light locked it away. Because of its nature, it is a power that should never be touched by any who dwell in the light.
But this world weeps beneath a mantle of shadows, and so there is no choice…You must match the power of the king of shadows. If you would seek this power, then proceed to the Temple in the forest depths. Faron dissolved.
Midna, of course, had to add her input. "So, you going to the Forest Temple? How convenient! I was about to head there myself." The imp caught Cal's glare and returned it. "Hey, look…You want to help those close to you, right?" Midna turned back to Link. "Well, good luck, Mr. Important Hero!" and she returned to his shadow with a laugh.
The two companions turned to each other, to see the other's light form for the first time.
If you look past the fancy get-up, Cal thought, taking in Link's height, shaggy, dirty-blonde hair and slight tan, he looks…normal.
Link, on the other hand, was shocked by how delicate his companion appeared. Her head barely reached his shoulder, she was incredibly thin and pale. Her spring-green tunic was a bit longer, proportionally, than his, with hanging sleeves and light-blue embroidery on the hem, wrists, and collar. Her chin-length, platinum-blonde hair partially covered her right eye…Speaking of eyes…
Cailin noticed his stare and sighed. "Yes, they're red. They were in my wolf form too, remember?" She glanced around the clearing. "I suggest we set up camp here for tonight and try for that temple tomorrow. Sound good?"
Well, I finally got to her light form! If you have guesses as to her ancestor, please don't post them in the reviews. Hopefully, by the Fire Temple it will be a we-know-but-they-don't sort of thing. Magic coming soon!
Reviews:
James Birdsong: Glad you like it.
MsFriskers: You liked Ordona's speech? Well, maybe it's just me, my ADHD, and Nintendo making them talk slow that's irritating...
PensAndPaper: :)
krourou2: YEAH, KITTIES! Oh, I meant other characters from Zelda. Like Midna. Or Malon. That would rock.
R&R. The Cosmo offer is still up if you want it, but if you don't, I HAVE MUFFINS!
