Author's Note: Well, last chapter was...interesting. The last chapter is one that I would keep on reading. OK, since I'm working on my other stories, I'll write at least 2 chapters every few weeks, or maybe a week. My schedule isn't that crowded, but I have enough work to do. Anyway, on with the story!
Chapter 3
Getting Comfortable
Tara's P.O.V
We arrived by a forest because Midnight was gasping for air. Probably tired. We had been riding for at least 4 hours. Anything that long could tire a horse.
I made camp, by using a couple of things. A blanket, carpet, and pillow. I made it as comfortable as possible, while Gwen made a small tree house. I helped her, and it only took about 3 hours. It was big enough for two of us to sleep comfortably in. I put blankets on the wood to keep out the cold air. It now looked like a mini shack. I made sure that Midnight had a comfortable hiding place, then left to get firewood.
"I'll be back." I reassured when Gwen told me not to leave. "Remember, you still have the dagger and shield. If anyone passes by, keep silent."
She looked at me pleadingly, but knew it wouldn't work. She put all the supplies in the 'house' and shut the wooden latch. I tied the rope around another tree and walked off.
Gwen's P.O.V
"I'm going to get firewood." Tara said.
"Please don't go, I don't know what could happen if you left!"
She assured me, and then walked away. I climbed up in our little home and shut the latch. I started to think.
Why do I have a triforce on my hand? Why does Tara have a triforce on her hand as well? It's so weird. All these questions going thru my head, and no would happen if Dad never came back, or Tara disappeared while searching for firewood -
I got cut off by a thunder-clap, and shivered. I grabbed one of the blankets and started thinking of one of the songs my mom used to sing to me when I was feeling sad, or couldn't sleep.
"Honey, you don't have to be afraid of the dark. Your father wasn't, so you have nothing to be afraid of. Now go to sleep."
"Mom, what would I do, if something happened to Dad, but I couldn't help?"
"Fate and Future, they will tell you."
"What's that?"
"You mean who?"
"Well, they were your grandparents name. I wanted to name you Destiny, but your father objected. But don't worry about him, he probably had a bad day."
"Oh, but Mom, Dad seems to always be like that."
"Don't worry, now let me sing you to sleep."
"Ok."
"Dear descendant of Fate and Future,
never forget that time goes and flows
swiftly like an arrow, it goes through the wind with ease.
Do not worry about the future, for time will pass
Destiny will-be-reveal-itself, without problems you should know
Time is like a river, same as the hero that flows
But don't worry about them, for the sun shall see, that sometime you will be safe,
with me..."
I thought about it for a moment, she was right. What would I do without her precious melodies and memories.
Ganondorf's P.O.V
They thrust me in the dungeon, and smiled wickedly. Without Link, they wouldn't have been able to complete that task.
"Ganondorf, where is the heir of your household." One of the knights asked.
"I don't know, maybe somewhere in this castle."
"Not believable, as soon as we got informed of your whereabouts, we traveled to your place and ransacked it. There is no evidence, but one of the maids knows that you had entrusted a secret to one of the servant girls."
"That maybe true, but she is no ordinary servant girl."
"We know your evil plans Ganondorf, where is the girl?" came a female voice.
I looked up and saw Zelda. The wicked woman with the triforce of wisdom. She had so much to learn from me when I get out of here.
"If you do not speak. We will force it out. Link, who do you think Ganondorf would entrust a deep secret to?"
"Perhaps, Ghiriham, but no one has heard of him for a while." Link said, polishing his shield.
"That is it, Link, you will look for the heir while I think of something. You're dismissed soldiers...besides you two, watch him, if he does anything strange, please call." Zelda said as she walked back up the stairs.
She hasn't changed a bit. I'm just hoping that nothing goes wrong. I'm just hoping they don't know that Tara is an orphan, and that she wields the silver triforce of wisdom, Ghiriham has power, and my daughter Gwen has courage. They won't know unless someone told them. I'm hoping they don't plan on making me talk.
"Ganondorf, if you tell me, I'll let you have better food."
"So you can get promoted? No way! I'll give you sheets and a pillow, along with better food!"
"What are you talking about? I'll give you anything you could ask for!"
"Like my freedom?"
"Yeah! I mean no! Of course not!" He said, as he realized that Link had come downstairs
"Trouble?" the hero asked.
"Link, just the little child I wished I had ended a couple of years ago."
"Ganondorf, just the man I wish I permanently ended a couple of years ago."
We exchanged glares, before I looked away.
Time will tell, just like Fate and Future. Anyway, I should get some sleep... by then, Tara will return...
